The government-owned firm said on Monday its after-tax profit for the six months to 31 December was A$98m Australian dollars ($76.7m; £49.9m).
The fall in profit was driven by widening losses in its letter business.
Managing director Ahmed Fahour said urgent regulatory reform of the rules around its letter services was needed.
Australia Post is seeking government approval to introduce a two-speed mail delivery service within its normal mail delivery timetable.
"The immediate challenge for our business is clear," Mr Fahour said.
"We have been carefully managing the real decline in our letter volumes for the past seven years.
"But we have now reached a tipping point where we can no longer manage that decline, while also maintaining our nationwide networks, service reliability and profitability," he said.
The firm reported a loss of A$151m its letters business for the period - which was 57% worse than last year's loss.
Revenue from parcel services was up 4% for the period compared to a year earlier, but the firm forecast that losses in its letter business would likely overwhelm any boost from its seasonally quieter parcel business in the coming months.
The 'holographic' projection was part of a music event called Craze Fest on Saturday in Hammond, Indiana, within the metropolitan area of Chicago, but it was shut down within minutes.
Now the company behind the presentation is threatening to sue the local mayor.
Speaking to the New York Times, Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott said he believed Keef was "outlawed" in Chicago and so took steps to prevent the performance.
Mayor McDermott told the newspaper that he had heard Keef had recorded a lot of songs about gangs and gun violence.
Chief Keef, who has an outstanding warrant for lapsed child support payments in the state of Illinois, was originally due to perform via digital projection in a theatre in the centre of Chicago.
However, organisers were forced to move that event after intervention from the city's mayoral office.
The subsequent Craze Fest presentation was intended to be a surprise, according to the organisers, but police were made aware of the Chief Keef connection and arrived in time to shut off the display within minutes of the 'hologram' of Keef performing his track, I Don't Like.
According to Craze Fest organiser Malcolm Jones, officers shut down power for the whole event before turning the lights back on.
"The crowd were excited for Chief Keef, they had their phones out, they wanted to document the moment and once it got shut off everyone was a little disappointed," Mr Jones told the BBC.
Steven Sersic, an attorney for Hammond Port Authority, told the BBC: "The police believed, based upon information that they had and based upon the fact that there had been some violence associated with that performer in the recent past, that the showing of the hologram had the potential to incite violence."
The projection was not in fact a true hologram, but rather an illusion known as Pepper's Ghost, which uses glass or foil combined with special lighting techniques to make objects appear in mid-air.
Alki David, owner of two firms which provided technology for the projection and an online stream of the event, has expressed his anger at the police intervention.
"We're going to absolutely sue the city, sue the mayor personally and see if we can throw a lawsuit at [Chicago Mayor] Rahm Emanuel as well," he told the BBC.
David said he has spoken to Keef since the incident and says the rapper is "very laid back" about it.
"He's used to the police and city always shutting him down, that's been the case since day one," he commented.
Mr Valls said the Socialists were dead and "I will be a candidate for the presidential majority".
Party officials reacted warily, saying he had 24 hours to sign up.
Emmanuel Macron won the presidency on Sunday and his new party has begun picking candidates for the June vote.
The party, which has changed its name from En Marche (On the move) to La République en Marche, intends to have a list of candidates ready for the June vote by Thursday, drawn up from across French politics and civil society. It was only created 13 months ago and has no representatives in the National Assembly.
Mr Valls resigned as prime minister when he stood unsuccessfully in the race to be Socialist presidential candidate and later backed Mr Macron to be president.
However, his approach on Tuesday was not immediately welcomed with open arms.
Macron spokesman Benjamin Griveaux, told French radio that Mr Valls had not yet been registered as a candidate by the party.
"He should have applied like everyone else because the rules are the same for everyone. If you don't put your name forward you can't be selected by En Marche. He's got 24 hours," he said.
Mr Macron won 66.1% of the vote on Sunday, while far-right opponent Marine Le Pen attracted 33.9% of the vote. A quarter of the population abstained in the election and more than 11% either cast blank votes or spoilt their ballot.
Mr Valls's assertion that the Socialists were dead prompted anger from party colleagues.
"I hope for France's sake that Brutus and Judas don't seek En Marche's party nomination," said Socialist MP Alexis Bachelay.
And the former prime minister's interview came hours after an eye-opening fly-on-the-wall TV documentary on Mr Macron's campaign. The programme showed the next president back in December describing Mr Valls's actions towards President François Hollande as "a real betrayal", shortly after Mr Hollande announced he would not run for a second term in office.
Mr Macron says in Behind the Scenes of a Victory that while he himself had left the government to avoid being party to the cynicism at the heart of the government, Mr Valls had remained and brought the president down from within. "If there is traitor, someone who has pulled the trigger on Hollande, it's Valls," he says.
The man who beat Mr Valls to the Socialist candidacy, Benoît Hamon, was all but wiped out in the first round of the presidential election, winning just 6.36% of the vote. Seen as a notorious party rebel, he had attracted little support from the Socialist leadership.
The timing of Mr Valls's comments was incendiary, shortly before the Socialists held a national meeting in an attempt to regroup after their electoral failure.

15-19 May: Mr Macron must finalise candidates for his party in the parliamentary election
11 and 18 June: Parliamentary election held over two rounds. All 577 seats are being contested.
Scottish Labour put forward a motion urging the government to step in over a series of proposals to close or downgrade NHS services.
Health Secretary Shona Robison insisted that no final decisions had been made about any of the services mentioned.
But the Tories, Greens and Lib Dems united behind Labour, with the SNP abstaining in the final vote.
The motion only calls on the government to step in over the plans, so does not bind the minority administration to any action.
The SNP narrowly avoided a defeat over tax reform a week ago only after Labour leader Kezia Dugdale's vote did not register.
Labour's motion for the NHS debate highlighted proposed changes to services at the Vale of Leven Hospital, the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Inverclyde Hospital, Monklands Hospital, Lightburn Hospital, the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the Centre for Integrative Care.
The party argued that the proposals "constitute major changes in service provision" and therefore should be decided on by ministers rather than local health boards.
Opening the debate, Labour's Anas Sarwar said MSPs "can and should speak with one voice", and "put political partisanship to one side" over the issue.
He said: "Our NHS staff are facing ever-increasing stress whilst services face the axe. We have to do something. These cuts will have a direct impact on them and on patient care.
"It would be completely unacceptable for the SNP government to sit back and watch vital local services be hit with cuts, closures or downgrades. Especially when the SNP promised these services would be safe before the election.
"I reach out across this chamber to other constituency MSPs affected by these proposals. Today we have an opportunity to put aside our party allegiances and work together to protect our local NHS services."
However, Ms Robison said no final decisions had been made about any of the services cited in the debate, saying health boards were continuing to consult on them in the "proper and responsible way".
She said there was an "established, robust process" in place to make decisions, saying Labour were "quite inappropriately" trying to cut across the work of the Scottish Health Council.
She said: "This government remains committed to robust, evidence-based policy making. I am prepared to take difficult decisions where the evidence supports it.
"What we will not countenance is change being dictated to local communities as has happened in the past under a Labour administration.
"Local people can be assured that this government will always focus our approach on providing as many services locally as possible, and our record in government stands in stark contrast to that of the previous administration."
Tory MSP Donald Cameron said his party would back Labour over the issue, saying the government should "at the very least take a view" on the proposals instead of "sitting on its hands".
He said: "There is clearly a wider public interest at stake here. There is widespread public concern about the public services changes in issue.
"Given the public concern and controversy surrounding these particular proposals they should all be classified as major services changes so that the SNP government takes responsibility for these changes and can be held to account.
"We accept that tough decisions have to be taken, even when they are not popular, but what is difficult to fathom is the approach of a government which is content to do nothing."
Green MSP Ross Greer also voiced concern about the service changes, saying "the pace of change is too fast".
He said there has been a "lack of robust and meaningful debate", calling for "far more discussion" over the proposals.
Mr Greer and Lib Dem member Alex Cole-Hamilton joined Labour members and local health campaigners at a rally outside parliament prior to the debate.
Mr Cole-Hamilton said he found it "astonishing" that parliament had only been given time to debate the changes during opposition debates.
He said there were "challenging decisions" ahead, but said the current debate was an opportunity for Ms Robison to "enlist us as champions" for the redesign of services.
Ms Robison put forward an amendment defending the government's position, which was defeated by 64 votes to 62.
SNP members then abstained on the final vote, with Mr Sarwar's motion calling for the changes to be decided by ministers passing by 64 to nil, with 62 abstentions.
In a statement issued later, a Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The government has ensured that all proposals from NHS boards for any major change to services go through a proper engagement and consultation process, supported by the Scottish Health Council.
"That process is a hugely important part of the decision making process, and it is important it is allowed to complete its work.
"Following the conclusion of that process, and taking account of the views of parliament, we will report back to parliament on the designation of service change proposals."
Hasting Hotels bought Windsor House, Ireland's tallest office block, in the city centre in May for £6m.
The company announced its intention to convert the building into a hotel, named the Belfast Grand Central Hotel, that would eventually create 150 jobs.
Belfast City Council's planning committee met on Tuesday night and its members approved the £30m project.
Meanwhile, US insurance company Allstate's plans for a new office development near the former Maysfield Leisure Centre in Belfast were also given the go-ahead.
Concentrix, an American software company, had objected to the plans as it hopes to redevelop a neighbouring site.
Allstate's development is expected to create 200 jobs, as well as provide more than £100,000 worth of community benefits, according to council documents.
Plans from Queen's University for new student accommodation at Lennoxvale in south Belfast were withdrawn on Tuesday morning ahead of the meeting.
The Briton, 30, beat Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov 6-4 4-6 6-2 6-0.
Defeat for Murray would have seen both top seeds exit a Grand Slam in round one for the first time in the open era.
Fellow Briton Johanna Konta earlier lost to world number 109 Hsieh Su-Wei, while Kyle Edmund impressed in beating Portugal's Gastao Elias 6-3 6-2 7-5.
Murray goes on to face Slovakia's Martin Klizan, the world number 50, while Edmund will play either 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France or Argentina's Renzo Olivo.
Olivo was just a game away from knocking the Frenchman out of his home tournament when the match was stopped for bad light with the world number 91 leading 7-5 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 5-4.
"It was a decent start, considering how I played in the build-up," said Murray.
Fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene reached the second round on Monday and plays against Czech Jiri Vesely on Wednesday.
Murray has struggled for form and fitness in 2016 and arrived in Paris apparently more vulnerable than ever, but the first hurdle was cleared despite a patchy start.
Kuznetsov, the world number 73, broke the Murray serve four times - twice in taking the second set - which prompted some self-mocking sarcastic applause from the Briton.
The contest was very much on at one set all, but a moment of inspiration turned things in Murray's favour early in the third.
It definitely got better as it went on
Kuznetsov had him chasing down a lob, seemingly hopelessly, only for the Scot to send up a towering response over his shoulder that dropped just inside the baseline.
The Russian could only fire his smash into the net, drawing a huge roar from the previously unengaged crowd, and Murray raced through eight straight points to take a grip on the match.
Glimmers of the player who dominated the second half of 2016 began to emerge - a familiar backhand pass rocketed down the line, a drop shot that left Kuznetsov stranded.
With coach Ivan Lendl typically poker-faced, it fell to the rest of Team Murray to gee up their man with shouts of "Come on Andy, let's go!"
Murray did just that in the fourth set, taking a decisive lead as he stretched his domination to eight straight games.
With the sun finally shining on a cooler day in Paris, Murray had the crowd on their feet with one magnificent drop shot on his way to sealing victory after two hours and 32 minutes.
It was good I was able to regain my concentration and finish the match off in straight sets
"It definitely got better as it went on," said Murray.
"I started to move a bit better towards the end, and was hitting the ball better when I was defending.
"That's something the last few weeks I haven't done so well and didn't start off the match doing particularly well.
"But once I was getting a little bit more on my ball when I was defending, there wasn't too many openings for him in the points."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
There were many reassuring signs for Murray as the match progressed: he started to move better and hit some exhibition style shots once he had conjured that remarkable over the shoulder recovery lob.
The closing two sets will have done much for his confidence, especially as he had played quite passively and seemed to be lacking firepower in the opening two sets.
Murray was broken four times in five games at one stage, but showed plenty of steel throughout the match as he converted nine out of 10 break points.
Edmund, 22, started as the clear favourite against Portugal's Elias but impressed in reaching the second round at Roland Garros for the third successive year.
The Yorkshireman hit a number of powerful forehands on his way to comfortably taking the first two sets and fought back from a break down to win the third.
"I controlled a lot of the match," the British number two said. "In the third set it showed why in a best-of-five-set match you have to keep your concentration. I felt like I was cruising and still went down a break.
"It was good I was able to regain my concentration and finish the match off in straight sets."
He was in the Borders at the weekend at an event celebrating the Berwickshire farmer's achievements.
Sir Jackie said Clark had been a "very good friend" and would have been his second son's godfather but for the crash which claimed his life in 1968.
Fellow motor racer Allan McNish was also in Duns for the event.
They were helping to mark the 50th anniversary of the season in which Jim Clark became the only man to win both the F1 and Indy 500 titles in the same year.
It was the same season as Sir Jackie made his F1 debut.
"He was a very, very good friend," he said.
"We shared an apartment in London together - two fellow Scots - in 1965, my first year in Formula One.
"I was on the podium with Jimmy three times, I think, the Belgian, the French and the Dutch grand prix.
"We were, in those days, called Batman and Robin and there was no doubt who was Batman and who was Robin.
"It was a great period in my life."
Former Team Lotus chief mechanic Bob Dance said Clark was a gifted but down-to-earth individual.
"He was exceptionally talented, naturally talented," he explained.
"He was sympathetic to the car and just a high quality driver - quite calm and collected and easy to get on with.
"He just used to get on with the job."
More modern-day racer McNish said he thought it would be hard to repeat Clark's feats.
"Those times have definitely changed - the world of motorsport has definitely changed and that is probably what makes so many people here today remember him," he said.
"He was a Borders farmer that went on and dominated the world of motorsport.
"I think it would be very difficult for someone to be able to do it again - however, I don't think anything is impossible.
"You never know, there might be somebody here today that will just be inspired by it and want to take up carting and go on."
The event in the Borders was also designed to raise the profile of plans for a new Jim Clark Museum in Duns by 2018.
Sir Jackie was keen to back that project too.
"It would be a good thing for Scotland, a great thing for the Borders and fantastic for Duns," he said.
"We don't have that many great Scots but Jim Clark was a great Scot."
The Smiler, which crashed, and Saw, a similar ride at Thorpe Park, would both be shut "for the foreseeable future", owner Merlin Entertainments said.
Two rides at Chessington World of Adventures have also been closed until new safety protocols have been applied.
Merlin Entertainments said the victims of the crash would "want for nothing".
Two carriages, one of which was empty, crashed on Tuesday, leaving some passengers trapped for four-and-a-half hours.
Two men, 27 and 18, a woman, 19, and a girl, 17, suffered serious leg injuries and remain in hospital.
Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton underwent surgery on Thursday, the BBC understands.
Vicky Balch, 19, from Leyland in Lancashire, remains in a "critical condition" in hospital, according to her lawyer Paul Paxton.
Ms Balch is expected to make a claim for damages, Mr Paxton said, although the main focus at the moment was on her recovery.
"It is expected that serious consideration will be given to criminal prosecutions. The family are distraught that a fun day out could turn into such a potentially life-changing disaster," he said.
Nick Varney, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments, said it was the "first major accident we've had on a ride in the company's history".
"Our first priority has been to look after the people on that ride," he said.
"We want to do everything we possibly can to support those families [most severely affected].
"We haven't managed to make contact with all of them and we are desperately trying to do that.
"They will want for nothing in the sense of what they need, be it accommodation, transport anything.
"And of course there will not be any question of them needing to go through the anguish of arguing for compensation."
Alton Towers will remain closed on Saturday, but bosses hope to reopen the park in the "next few days". The Smiler ride will stay out of action until the cause of the accident is known.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspectors have served a prohibition notice on the ride stopping its use "until action is taken to deal with the cause of the failure".
Mr Varney said there was "no conclusive answer yet", but the firm believed the accident was caused by a "rather unique sequence of events".
It is estimated the park has been losing up to £500,000 a day since Tuesday.
Sam Bailey, 30, from Kent, said she had been in the same row of the Smiler ride only a few days ago as those injured.
"By chance I was sat on the front row of the carriage" she said.
"It's crazy to think after seeing the pictures. I happened to be sitting on the same seat as them only a few days earlier."
Ms Bailey was also at Chessington World of Adventure in Surrey on Thursday and said the Dragonsfury ride was shut down soon after 15:00 BST.
The park's Rattlesnake ride is also closed.
Mr Varney said extra safety protocols had been introduced across Merlin's theme parks, but it would take a few days to implement those on two Chessington rides as they used "different operating systems".
He said Thorpe Park's Saw ride had been closed until the cause of the Alton Towers crash is known as it was made by the same manufacturer and was essentially a "very similar ride" to the Smiler.
Merlin Entertainments said it was co-operating fully with the HSE investigation and intended to complete a "thorough appraisal" of its safety processes at Alton Towers "in the near future".
The HSE said carriages involved in the Smiler crash would be removed later and taken to its laboratory in Buxton for further analysis.
It said the prohibition notice did not affect other rides at Alton Towers.
The report, from Public Health England, says UK deaths from the condition have quadrupled in 16 years to some 400 in 2012.
The number of admissions to hospital for serious liver complications has also risen fourfold to 2,400.
Charities say the "shockingly low level of treatment" is failing patients.
Hepatitis C, a viral infection spread through bodily fluids, currently affects more than 200,000 people in the UK.
According to experts intravenous drug use is the most common way of acquiring the disease in the UK.
Three-quarters of people with the virus go on to develop chronic disease - which can lead to liver cancer and permanent liver scarring (cirrhosis).
But the report shows the majority of people who need antiviral drugs to help clear the virus, do not receive them.
Officials say this is in part due to people being unaware they have the condition (it can have no symptoms in early years) and because of a lack of testing and treatment facilities for communities that need it most.
They warn that an extra 2,700 people could face hepatitis-C-related liver cancer or cirrhosis in England over the next year if the situation does not improve.
Experts predict if everyone had access to newer, more effective medications, some 8,000 people could be prevented from suffering these often fatal complications by 2025.
Public Health England says there is an urgent need for better monitoring of patients and wider testing for people at risk.
They call for treatment to be expanded to non-traditional settings such as prisons, primary care and drug treatment centres.
Charles Gore, chief executive of the Hepatitis C Trust said: "We must accept the rising hospital episodes and deaths, the poor diagnosis rate and the shockingly low level of treatment means we are failing patients.
"This report highlights the pressing need for immediate scale-up of the whole response to hepatitis C from prevention, through diagnosis and into treatment.
"Deaths from hepatitis C are now eminently preventable. It is up to us to see that we do prevent them."
Dr Paul Cosford of Public Health England said: "The landscape of hepatitis C treatment is changing rapidly and an era of vastly improved treatment is potentially on the way.
"In the meantime, the disease burden is rising and there is still a pressing need for infected patients to be treated as soon as possible."
Before improved blood screening was introduced in 1991, some people acquired the disease through contaminated transfusions.
And experts say individuals who have dental or medical treatments in countries with high rates and poor control of hepatitis C may continue to be at risk.
The footage shows police officers firing on the car that Paul O'Neal, 18, was driving, before chasing him on foot.
The panel called the footage "shocking and disturbing".
New rules dictate that Chicago police must release video footage of a fatal police shooting within 60 days.
The video rules are part of series of reforms put in place after the police officers shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in October 2014.
Video footage of McDonald's death, which contradicted the official police account, was released in November. The video sparked protests and led to the dismissal of the police chief.
McDonald and O'Neal's deaths follows a long line of high-profile incidents involving African-Americans dying at the hands of the police, igniting a national debate about the use of lethal force.
Police said O'Neal stole a car on 28 July, leading to a police chase.
The shooting starts after O'Neal rammed the car into a police cruiser as he tried to flee the scene.
A post-mortem exam found O'Neal had been killed by a gunshot wound to the back. The moment of death is not shown in the released footage.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the fatal shot was not recorded because an officer's body camera was not operating.
He said the officer may have been unfamiliar with how to use the camera or the camera malfunctioned.
"We don't believe there was any intentional misconduct with body cameras," Mr Guglielmi said.
Michael Oppenheimer, a lawyer for the O'Neal family, said the officers took "street justice into their own hands".
Three of the officers involved in the shooting have been suspended. A preliminary investigation found they had violated department policy.
Officers were called to a flat in Nettleton Road on 13 January and found two men with stab wounds.
The 30-year-old and 47-year-old were taken to hospital. The 30-year-old died on Monday evening, police said.
Anthony Keith Poole, 51, of Melbourne Street East in the city, has been charged with wounding with intent and remanded in police custody.
A police spokesman said the man who died had been transferred from Gloucestershire Royal Hospital to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, where he died at about 23:50 GMT.
Josh Walker, from Bristol, is charged under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Mr Walker, aged 26, who lives in Aberystwyth, is due before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, South Wales Police said.
He was arrested at Gatwick Airport by counter terror officers, last December.
He had returned to the UK on 29 December and was detained at the airport by the Welsh Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit.
The charge is "collecting or making a record of information that is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".
It is not really the weather for it but you might have one of these in a drawer somewhere.
A hand-warmer. A small plastic pouch filled with a gel.
Click the little piece of metal inside and you set off a chemical reaction.
The gel begins to turn into a waxy solid. As it does it gives off heat.
You can reverse the process by immersing the hand-warmer in hot water. The energy you are adding turns it back into a gel, ready to go again.
There's a name for the stuff in the pouch: a phase change material.
It's a bit like water when it freezes and changes from liquid to solid ice.
Except that gel is "freezing" at more than twice the temperature of boiling water.
So you get toasty hands (or feet - one of my colleagues has been known to stuff them into her socks when camping) and a wee bit of science theatre.
It took a creative leap to take the idea further: could you scale up the phase change process so a hand-warmer became a house-warmer?
Several big corporations - over several decades - tried to make it happen but each time the research petered out.
Now an East Lothian company with fewer than 30 employees has succeeded.
The equipment Sunamp have developed at their base in Macmerry has already been installed in 650 Scottish homes, providing heat and hot water for about half the cost of gas.
Joan and Alexander Maclean's house is just a few miles from Macmerry.
The solar panels on the roof are a clue to how cosy it is inside.
The secret lies in a discreet white metal box in the airing cupboard. A box that Joan says "makes a lovely difference".
She says: "It saves a lot of money, put it that way. You're getting your hot water for free.
"Before that, this house was a really cold, cold house."
With copper pipes coming and going from it, the box could be mistaken for a gas boiler.
But it's more sophisticated than that. It's a battery that stores heat instead of electricity.
At the heart of it a heat exchanger is immersed in a phase change material.
Like a handwarmer, the material melts when heat is put in from the solar panels.
Then when you turn on the tap in the kitchen or bathroom cold water flows into the heat exchanger, prompting the gel to solidify. Hot water flows out instantly.
It does it again and again. Each box is capable of thousands of cycles.
It is the result of eight years of work by Sunamp's CEO Andrew Bissell. The former Edinburgh University academic wanted a better way of storing renewable energy until it was needed.
"It occurred to me that if you actually look at the pie chart of energy usage, far more of it is heat than electricity," he says.
"And yet far more of the effort goes into electricity compared with heat.
"So I said, 'I want to make a heat battery'."
There is a heat battery on the table in front of us. A red plastic cell containing the heat exchanger and the gel. (They also do blue cells - cold batteries.)
The red cells can be stacked together inside units like the one in Joan Maclean's cupboard. Other units are the size of small fridges, some even bigger than that.
Sunamp have a particularly imposing black one that rises from floor to ceiling of their kitchen and is reminiscent of the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The principle may seem straightforward enough but there's been more to it than filling plastic boxes with gallons of handwarmer gel.
Sunamp had to find just the right formulation to ensure maximum heat transfer and battery life.
A huge number of possible formulations were screened using the Diamond Light Source - the UK's massive synchrotron in Oxfordshire.
It is not the sort of thing the average small to medium business could afford but Sunamp had entered into a partnership with Edinburgh University.
The company got the science and the head of the university's school of chemistry Prof Colin Pulham says he and his colleagues benefited in return.
He says: "The governments are very keen that basic research leads to socioeconomic impact.
"This is a classic example of where something has been taken from the bench all the way into a product and has the potential to have a major impact economically, but also improving people's quality of life - and also of course reducing CO2 emissions."
The matchmaker between Sunamp and the university was a publicly funded organisation called Interface.
In its 12 years of operation it has introduced well over 2,500 Scottish businesses to academic partners.
"We've worked with a range of companies," says its director Dr Siobhan Jordan.
"From food and drink companies that want to use hyperspectral imaging, a fantastic technology developed for the defence sector, to enable them to see inside cakes.
"We've worked with chocolate producers in looking at how the chocolate has flavinoids that are really healthy.
"But we've also worked with crofters, with farmers, with other energy companies - a whole range of different ideas."
Sunamp's heat batteries have given them a shot at success. Growing demand has attracted investors and the company is looking for bigger premises.
There's another success story. Sunamp's third employee came to Macmerry from Edinburgh university.
Then David Oliver was a postgraduate student. Now he's the company's materials scientist - and Dr Oliver, having completed his PhD on phase change materials.
He helped arrive at the final formula for the gel/solid in the heat batteries. The correct chemical description, he explains, is an alkali-soluble polymer.
He says: "A lot of people think of polymers as being plastics, hard materials.
"But some polymers also exist in a solution.
"So you can dissolve these plastics in other materials and you get some quite dramatic changes in properties."
Sunamp's formula contains several tweaks and additives.
But it's not too far removed from the stuff used to flavour some brands of salt and vinegar crisps.
We do not advise you to crack open a heat battery and having a taste.
No, definitely don't try that at home.
The Welsh Government wants to build a six-lane motorway between Magor and Castleton around Newport to relieve congestion on the current M4.
Residents said Llanfihangel Rogiet, near Caldicot, would be "blighted" and have proposed a new "green route".
The Welsh Government claims the alternative route would cost £51m more.
Mike and Liz Smith and Graham and Jennifer Wynton, who between them have lived in the hamlet for 50 years, have put forward the proposal - one of 22 alternatives drawn-up by objectors to the Welsh Government's plans.
The neighbours told the inquiry plans to create a new Junction 23, near to the current M4 and M48 interchange, at the eastern end of the scheme has "no real justification".
The Welsh Government's proposal is for a 14.23m (23km) highway south of Newport between the current M4 junction 23A and junction 29, to open in in 2021, as they believe the current highway "is not fit for purpose".
The "green route" proposal would start west of junction 23A on the current M4 and run along the eastern side of Llanwern Steelworks before taking the route of the Welsh Government proposed scheme around Newport.
Mr Smith's submitted route, which would be 0.6 miles (1km) longer, would be west of Wilcrick and the Magor Brewery and east of Bishton, having a "slight adverse impact" on those villages.
The suggested route would involve the demolition of bridges and have an "increased impact on the operations" of Tata Steel, the Welsh Government said in response.
But the Welsh Government acknowledge the "green route" would have reduced environmental impact on the five sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) on the Gwent Levels than their preferred route.
The Welsh Government argue the alternative route would impact on a deserted medieval village just west of Wilcrick Hill and on yet uncovered archaeological remains.
The "green route" plan would also mean building a new motorway junction on the M48 between Caldicot and Rogiet and "utilise a massively under-used M48" instead of constructing the Welsh Government proposed Junction 23 between Magor and Rogiet.
"We are not against a relief road," Mr Smith told the inquiry. "We recognise something needs to be done about the congestion on the M4 and, in particular, at the Brynglas Tunnels.
"But junction 23 is the wrong junction in the wrong place. It is considerably over the top for what the local traffic needs."
Mr Smith, the former deputy leader of Monmouthshire council and one-time chairman of its planning committee, said his plans would avoid demolishing the Grade-II listed Woodland House and a Roman archaeological site to the west of Magor.
He told the inquiry the local authority recommended to the Welsh Government that "alternative options be considered" as their preferred M4 relief road scheme would have an "obvious, significant, permanent and detrimental impact on the character" of the Llanfihangel conservation area.
Morag Ellis, QC for the Welsh Government, told the inquiry that UK Government statute says conservation areas are designated "not to create a landscape buffer."
She added Monmouthshire council supported the Welsh Government's plan and have "lowered the alignment" of the proposed junction 23 after a recommendation from the local authority.
On Friday the jurors unanimously found that 15-year-old Daniel Hegarty posed no risk when he was shot twice in Londonderry during Operation Motorman in July 1972.
His cousin Christopher was also wounded.
Des Doherty said prosecutions were now a "definite possibility".
"The full rigour of the law has to be applied and it is now of course a matter for the coroner," the solicitor said.
"This case was not about vengeance. It was about justice."
The jury rejected claims that warnings had been shouted to the two teenagers before they were shot.
The operation was aimed at reclaiming "no go areas" in the city from the IRA.
Daniel, who was a labourer, was shot twice in the head by a soldier close to his home in Creggan. His cousin Christopher, 16, was shot in the head by the same soldier but survived.
The jury found that none of the soldiers present attempted to "approach the injured youths to either search them or provide medical assistance".
Mr Doherty said the record had now been "set straight".
This is the second inquest into Daniel's death.
The initial inquest was held in 1973 and recorded an open verdict. A second inquest was ordered by the Attorney General in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team.
The report found that the RUC investigation at the time was "hopelessly inadequate and dreadful".
The inquest opened on Monday and heard from Daniel's sister Margaret Brady. She described how her mother continued to set a place for him at the table and call him for dinner for months after his death.
In 2007, the British government apologised to the Hegarty family after describing Daniel as a terrorist.
In a Facebook post railing against "distorted and exaggerated" reporting, she denied taking meldonium every day and missing five warnings that the drug was about to be banned.
She also criticised the tennis authorities for making the relevant information "too hard to find".
Russian Sharapova, 28, will be provisionally suspended from 12 March.
The five-time Grand Slam-winner, who faces a ban of up to four years, says she has been taking the drug, which was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list on 1 January, for health reasons for the past 10 years.
However, she insisted she had only taken the heart drug "in the low doses recommended".
Taking issue with reports that a normal course of meldonium treatment lasts only four to six weeks, she added: "The story quotes the manufacturer of my medicine as saying: 'Treatment course can be repeated twice or thrice a year. Only physicians can follow and evaluate patient's health condition and state whether the patient should use meldonium for a longer period of time.'
"That's exactly what I did. I didn't take the medicine every day."
While Sharapova reiterated that she had "no excuses" for failing to be aware of the change in regulations, she criticised the way in which the information was communicated to players.
"The communications? They were buried in newsletters, websites, or handouts," she wrote.
"In order to be aware of this 'warning', you had to open an email with a subject line having nothing to do with anti-doping, click on a webpage, enter a password, enter a username, hunt, click, hunt, click, hunt, click, scroll and read.
"I guess some in the media can call that a warning. I think most people would call it too hard to find."
28-year-old Sharapova concluded: "I have been honest and upfront. I look forward to the ITF hearing at which time they will receive my detailed medical records."
Supply teacher Caroline Andrews, 52, was found dead at a house in Benenden on 4 February.
A post-mortem examination revealed she died from compression of the neck.
Kent Police said Stuart Andrews, 54, of The Street Benenden, appeared at Maidstone Magistrates' Court earlier charged with murder.
He is expected to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday.
Antoine Maury, 21, was last seen on Monday at 22:30 after leaving friends at Edinburgh College's Milton Road East Campus.
Pascal and Laura Maury will be part of Saturday's search which will centre on the area of Holyrood Park.
Volunteers will meet at 11:00 in the car park at Holy Rood High School.
Insp Alan Carson, of Police Scotland's Edinburgh Division, said: "The response from the public since Antoine's disappearance has been fantastic.
"So many people have expressed a willingness to help find him as quickly as possible and I know that his family are extremely grateful for the support of the people of Edinburgh.
"Those who are intending to help with our search activity on Saturday are asked to wrap up warm and wear suitable clothing. We want to make sure that any activity is conducted in a co-ordinated and safe manner.
"Please also make sure that you have a fully-charged mobile phone with you and some snacks to help you throughout the day."
Mrs Maury issued an appeal to Antoine on Friday, urging him to come home and saying he was not in any trouble.
She called on people living in the area to check their outbuildings and garages.
Mrs Maury also appealed for information from anyone who may be sheltering her son.
Police said there was a possible sighting of a man matching Mr Maury's description near the Duddingston Village area of Holyrood Park, heading into the park, on Monday between 22:45 and 23:00.
The man was topless.
Laura and Pascal Maury said their son's disappearance was completely out of character.
Mrs Maury said her son was well liked and had been enjoying his studies in Scotland.
He has been a student at Edinburgh College for three months.
Ms Maury said: "We are desperate to find Antoine and are appealing to anyone who might have information as to where he is or know if someone is sheltering him.
"We want him to know that we love him, he is not in trouble and for him to come home.
"We ask that anyone living in the area to please check their outbuildings and garages again to confirm that Antoine is not hiding there.
"He is a very happy young man and there is no reason to believe my son would run away."
Mr Maury was described as white, of medium build, 6ft with short brown hair, a beard and has a bleeding hand tattoo on his forearm.
He has a good level of English, but was unfamiliar with Edinburgh.
He has lost his glasses and his eyesight is not very good.
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted the reprieve less than eight hours before killer Scott Panetti was due to receive a lethal injection.
His lawyers had argued he was too delusional to be executed and sought a delay so his competency can be tested.
Panetti was convicted in the fatal shootings of his in-laws in 1992.
The US Supreme Court in 2002 prohibited the execution of the mentally impaired, but have allowed it for mentally ill inmates with a rational understanding.
A number of conservatives leaders had joined the fight to save Panetti's life, writing a letter asking Texas Governor Rick Perry to commute the death sentence to life in prison.
"As conservatives, we must be on guard that such an extraordinary government sanction not be used against a person who is mentally incapable of rational thought," according to the letter.
"It would be immoral for the government to take this man's life."
Ellen Stewart-Klein, an assistant Texas attorney general, meanwhile told that appeals court Panetti's medical records "strongly indicate rational awareness of his impending execution and the reason for it".
"Panetti's mental status has at best been severely exaggerated by his counsel," she added.
On Monday, in a separate appeal to halt the lethal injection, Panetti's lawyers told the US Supreme Court the Texas inmate was severely mentally ill "before, during and after the crime for which he has been sentenced to death".
Panetti was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1978 and hospitalised more than a dozen times before killing Joe and Amanda Alvarado.
"Imposition of the death penalty on people with severe mental illness, as with people with intellectual disability, does not serve the two goals of deterrence and retribution because of their reduced moral culpability," his lawyers told the court.
The Supreme Court added a provision mandating that an inmate have a rational understanding of why he was being put to death in 2007 under a previous appeal from Panetti.
His case has gone to the high court for review at least five times since his 1995 conviction, records show.
The Tigers will make a 13th successive play-off appearance when they go to Wasps in the semi-final on 20 May.
Cohen told BBC Radio Leicester: "Getting to the semi-final is fantastic but the measurement of success at this club always has to be winning trophies.
"It will be a successful season if we win the Premiership, although we have won the Anglo Welsh tournament."
Saturday's 28-23 victory at Worcester in the final league game secured the fourth and final play-off spot.
Leicester are the most successful club in England, with 13 league titles to their name, but have recently undergone a period of transformation.
Matt O'Connor took over as head coach in April, replacing Aaron Mauger, who had been in charge since director of rugby Richard Cockerill was sacked in January.
"I think the club is in a pretty strong place and always has been," continued Cohen.
"We have a fantastic fan base and look at the record numbers who have come through the gate at Welford Road this year.
"We have always had a strong base but what we needed to add to that was a complete clarity of thought in terms of how we play.
"I think we now have that with Matt O'Connor and we will have that moving forward. We won't have the uncertainty, so the club is in a stronger position than it was."
Cohen revealed that Leicester have secured new signings for the 2017-18 season, but the names would be under wraps for now.
"We will announce the players when they are no longer playing for their clubs," said Cohen.
"It is a little bit of a giveaway to say their current clubs are still involved in competition, but as soon as those competitions are over we will make those announcements.
"It is not really fair to those players and clubs to make announcements when they are still in running for trophies."
Twenty-two homes on the Nant y Felin estate in Pentraeth were evacuated during the blaze on Friday but residents have since returned to their homes
It broke out at a petrol station in Pentraeth at about 04:50 BST.
The A5025 between Menai Bridge and Amlwch had to be closed for a while while the blaze was tackled.
Charlotte Wright, the agency's director of business and sector development, has been in the role in an acting capacity since last August.
HIE's previous chief executive, Alex Paterson, left to join Historic Environment Scotland.
Headquartered in Inverness, HIE works with businesses and communities in Argyll, Highlands, Moray, Western Isles and the Northern Isles.
It has a budget of £65.9m for 2017-18, including £55.7m from the Scottish government, to invest in developing businesses, economic sectors and communities.
The agency also co-manages the Scottish Land Fund with Big Lottery Scotland, operates Community Broadband Scotland and has subsidiary renewable energy company, Wave Energy Scotland.
Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said: "Charlotte has proven herself as an exceptional leader who is absolutely committed to making a difference in every part of the region, and I am certain she will be a highly effective and inspiring chief executive for years to come."
In March this year, plans to replace the boards of Scotland's enterprise and training agencies with one national board were abandoned.
Economy Secretary Keith Brown said HIE, Scottish Enterprise and Skills Development Scotland would continue with their own boards.
He also announced that a national strategic board would be set up, to "align the work" of the agencies.
Opposition parties welcomed the news but said the minister had been forced to make a u-turn.
The Hollywood actor was speaking at an event promoting his docu-series, Project Greenlight, in Los Angeles.
"It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out," he told E! News. "Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that's all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes."
There have been three Bourne films starring Matt Damon.
The first, Bourne Identity, was released in 2002 and follows CIA assassin Jason Bourne as he tries to remember who he is and what he's done in the past.
Two more films, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, came out in 2004 and 2007.
Jeremy Renner appeared in the fourth film in the franchise, The Bourne Legacy, which follows another agent Aaron Cross.
Paul Greengrass directed The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Supremacy.
The news about a new film was initially revealed by Ben Affleck as he was being asked about having to work out to get in shape.
He said: "[Damon's] going to be doing a Bourne movie next fall when I've just completely lost any semblance of physical fitness."
Jason Bourne is based on a character in a series of novels by Robert Ludlum.

Jurors will decide if the supporters were unlawfully killed in the 1989 disaster.
The seven women and three men will also consider if fans' behaviour added to a dangerous situation outside the stadium in Sheffield.
The hearings are the longest running inquests in British legal history.
Liverpool had been due to play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.
But police asked for the match to be stopped six minutes in after noticing a crush on the terraces occupied by Liverpool fans.
Four hundred people needed hospital treatment after Britain's worst sports stadium disaster.
The jury will respond to a 14-section questionnaire on how the supporters died.
Four sections of it asks whether police "errors or omissions" caused or contributed to the dangerous situation at the match and the crush on the terraces.
Two other questions ask whether the police and ambulance service responses to the crushing "contributed to the loss of lives".
Question six asks if the 96 were unlawfully killed.
To answer yes to that question, jurors must be "sure" that Ch Supt David Duckenfield, who was in overall command of the police operation, was "responsible for the manslaughter by gross negligence" of the 96 who died.
Coroner Sir John Goldring has told them to put their "feelings" about the disaster "to one side" and to "assess the evidence dispassionately and without emotion".
The jury "should not make critical findings unless they are justified by the facts" but they "should not shrink from making such judgments if they are", he added.
He began his summing up on 25 January and had been speaking to the jury for 26 days in total.
Since the inquests began on 31 March 2014, it has heard from more than 500 witnesses, been shown more than 4,000 documents and watched footage from the day of the disaster.
The jury has heard how a dangerous crush built up before the match as Liverpool fans tried to enter the stadium.
Mr Duckenfield told the inquests he gave an order to open exit gates and allow the fans inside to relieve the pressure.
Around 2,000 supporters went into the ground through exit gate C. Many of them went down a sloping tunnel that led into fenced enclosures on the Leppings Lane terraces, which already had hundreds of fans inside.
The coroner has laid out four steps jurors must go through when answering question six in the questionnaire.
Only if they answer yes to each can they conclude the 96 were unlawfully killed.
For the final point to be proved, the jury has to be sure the match commander's breach in his duty of care was so bad that it amounted to a criminal act or omission, and that a "reasonably competent and careful" match commander in his position would have foreseen a "serious and obvious risk of death" to the supporters.
Read profiles of all those who died in the disaster
During his summing up, Sir John reminded the jury that Mr Duckenfield admitted several "mistakes", including that he did not think about where fans would go after opening gate C.
Sir John also referred to Mr Duckenfield's evidence that he believed many people contributed to the disaster, including the fans, with those who arrived late overwhelming police resources and the turnstiles.
The coroner has told the jury to consider his evidence "with great care".
He added: "You should make your judgments on his conduct by asking whether he could and should have acted differently in the situation he was facing.
"You should take into account the conditions he was facing when deciding what he should have done and what consequences he should have foreseen."
Sir John said there were "significant conflicts" in the evidence about what happened at the disaster.
One "highly controversial" area concerned what caused the crush among Liverpool fans before kick off, the coroner added.
He said some of the police officers who had given evidence were "critical of the behaviour of the supporters" in Leppings Lane.
But he said "many of the supporters gave evidence to a very different effect", saying the fans behaved "normally, sensibly" and "did not contribute to the dangerous situation in any significant way".
Sir John said: "This is a highly controversial part of the evidence of the day, and you will have to make your own assessment of that evidence and your own decisions as to what you accept and what you reject.
"You will have to resolve the conflict. No doubt, in doing so, you will consider all the witness evidence and the evidence of the [video] footage and photographs."
The jury will also answer questions about whether there were any defects in the stadium and if there was any "error or omission" in the licensing and local authority oversight of the ground.
There are questions about the conduct of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, both before the disaster and on the day, and of the club's engineers, Eastwood & Partners.
Legal teams for the families claimed that "coordinated efforts were being made to manipulate the evidence and present a false narrative of the disaster", Sir John said.
But he added the police involved in the process had "denied they had done anything improper" and were following the "guidance of experienced lawyers".
The coroner told the jury: "It is entirely a matter for you what view you take about the way in which statements were gathered and then amended. You will take your own view about the motivations of those involved."
Prof Andrew Bush and Dr Louise Fleming warn that although steroid inhalers are life-saving when used properly, their side-effects should not be ignored.
And they call for more objective, careful diagnoses.
Meanwhile charity Asthma UK says better tests are urgently needed.
In the UK, about 5.4 million people currently receive treatment for asthma - 1.1 million of whom are children.
Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, the two respiratory doctors from Imperial College and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London acknowledge that asthma can be a fatal condition that was once not being diagnosed enough.
They argue the pendulum has now swung too far the other way - with over-diagnosis resulting in some people seeing asthma as a trivial matter and overlooking the potential it has to kill.
Doctors currently use guidelines to help work out if someone has the condition but making a diagnosis can be difficult as there is no definitive test.
The article says doctors should think very carefully about each diagnosis they make and consider the use of more objective and sometimes more invasive checks - such as testing nitrogen oxide levels and blood tests - if they are unsure.
And if a child is not getting better despite asthma medication then, instead of increasing doses automatically, they add that the possibility that the diagnosis might not be correct should be considered.
The paper also urges medics to remember that many children outgrow their symptoms and says they should check diagnoses over time to ensure they are still relevant.
New National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for England, which are now out for consultation before final approval, say doctors should use more clinical tests to back up their judgement and avoid the danger of wrongly labelling someone as having asthma.
Prof Mark Baker of NICE said: "Accurate diagnosis of asthma has been a significant problem which means that people may be wrongly diagnosed or cases might be missed in others."
Meanwhile the charity Asthma UK said more funds need to be put towards the research and development of a definitive test for the condition.
The charity's Dr Samantha Walker added: "It is astonishing in the 21st century that there isn't a test your child can take to tell if they definitely have asthma.
"Asthma isn't one condition but many, with different causes and triggered by different things at different ages. Asthma symptoms also change throughout someone's life or even week-by-week and day-by-day.
"This complexity means that it is both over and under-diagnosed, in children and in adults, so people don't get the care they need to manage their asthma effectively.
"As a result, a child is admitted to hospital every 20 minutes because of an asthma attack and asthma attacks still kill the equivalent of a classroom of children every year in the UK."
Dr Martin Allen, a lung specialist and member of the British Thoracic Society, said: "The key message for patients is that they should carry on taking their medication as prescribed.
"If patients have any concerns or want further advice on their care and treatment, they should always consult their health professional.'
The 24-year-old has also agreed an option to extend his Bees contract until the end of the 2017-18 season but moves to Spain for personal reasons.

Fighters who gave themselves up would receive training, employment and education, President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo said.
Somalia has reported frequent terror attacks, and a spate of kidnappings.
The announcement comes as at least 10 people were reportedly killed in roadside explosion in the Lower Shebelle region on Thursday
The cause of the explosion has not been confirmed.
President Farmajo announced the amnesty at a news conference in the capital Mogadishu, dressed in full military fatigues.
"We want to pardon the Somali youth who were misled by al-Shabab," he said.
He also announced a major shakeup in the drought-stricken country's security services.
"Terror attacks have become frequent and all Somali forces are on a state of alert to combat insecurity and terror."
Al-Shabab militants are suspected of a spate of kidnappings of aid workers in the drought-hit country.
Analysts say the new measures aim to reinforce gains made by the UN mission in Somalia, Amisom, and government forces.
It comes after US President Donald Trump relaxed some of the rules for preventing civilian casualties in Somalia when counter-terrorism air strikes are carried out, laying the ground for an intensification of the campaign against the group.
Senior officers in Somalia's intelligence service and police force have been replaced to prepare for the escalating war against the militants.
Mr Farmajo named a new military commander, director of national security and intelligence, commander of police and a new head of prison forces.
The new president was elected in February promising a "new beginning" for the country.
Al-Shabab - which is allied to al-Qaeda - is battling Somalia's UN-backed government and has also carried out attacks in neighbouring Kenya.

Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said it would make "a real difference to patients accessing emergency and urgent care in north west Wales".
Gary Doherty, chief executive at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said: "The current department is too small and is not designed to meet the requirements of modern clinical practice.
"This major scheme will provide state-of-the-art accommodation for the 52,000 patients who use the service each year and will help us transform medical and emergency care."
The funding is for 2017-20, with work expected to start in March.
The picture which was released by a Turkish news agency, is reported to be of three-year-old Alan, who drowned along with his five-year-old brother Galip and their mother, Rihan.
Rozana FM, a new private Syrian radio station, said it had spoken to the father, who was a hairdresser in Damascus before moving to Turkey, on Thursday.
They quoted him as saying that he repeatedly attempted to reach Greece and he had recently met two smugglers who offered to transport the family "for 4,000 euros" (£2,900, $4,500).
The father also said that his son "is a symbol of the Syrian suffering", calling on the whole world to be "merciful of Syrians".
The now-famous picture of the drowned boy in his red shirt spread like wildfire among Syrian social media users, with many editing the image to drive home messages of anger and dismay.
Syrian cartoonist Yasser Ahmed drew an image of a shark and other sea creatures in the sea weeping at the sight of a boy's washed-up body on the shore.
Many voice frustration at the perceived inaction of regional countries in the face of the Syrian crisis.
Another image has Alan's body with the head of Handala, a well-known Palestinian cartoon figure, superimposed on it.
The iconic signature image of Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, Handala depicts a Palestinian refugee child with his back turned to the world, and is widely seen as a symbol of Palestinians' struggle for self-determination
In another image, the boy's body was edited onto a cloud, as if to appear sleeping. The caption reads: "Up there, it is warmer".
Syrian pro-government channels also used the photograph of Alan to assail what they portray as heartlessness of the wider world, especially.
In a news bulletin on Wednesday, a Sama TV presenter said: "Oh boy, how much time it will take for humanity to understand this image".
One day prior to the image being shared, the Syrian cabinet discussed the "shameful treatment" by some European countries of Syrian refugees, state-run Syrian news agency SANA reported.
A column on the pro-government news website Champress says the dead child "should have been told the story of how Syria opened its doors in the past to all Arabs including the Lebanese, Kuwaitis, Iraqis and Palestinians".
Echoing the same sentiment, a column on the website of the pro-government Baladna daily says that many children from Gaza, Qana (Lebanon) and Iraq have left the world before the Syrian child and that this war has to stop "for the sake of the children".
Back on social media, many despairingly wonder whether expressions of outrage will result in any action to resolve the situation.
"Will the media uproar caused by the photo any real impact in changing the course of the Syrian uprisings," Thaer Al Tahli - a Syrian journalist based in Jordan - wonders, recalling the famous photos of Hamza al-Khatib, a young Syrian boy killed at the beginning of the Syrian uprising.
Another social user voices a similar feeling with an illustration depicting the young boy on the beach with a truck unloading a mass of Facebook "likes" onto him.

Lizzy Idahosa, 26, was sentenced to eight years in jail in 2014 after being found guilty of trafficking.
A confiscation order for £21,905 has been granted at Cardiff Crown Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The money must be paid back within 28 days or she faces a further nine month prison sentence being imposed.
During the original trial, the jury heard the trafficked women worked in brothels - including in Cardiff and Swansea - to repay Idahosa £50,000 for travel from Nigeria and false documents.
Both victims, who could not be named for legal reasons, said that before travelling to London on the promise of a better life, they had been subjected to "juju" rituals to make them afraid of disobeying her.
Idahosa was also found guilty of inciting prostitution and money laundering.
Following the confiscation order, Gemma Williams, from Immigration Enforcement's Financial Investigation Unit, said: "Idahosa was prepared to take advantage of her victims' vulnerability and desperation for her own financial gain, but her greed has not paid off.
"In addition to her hefty prison sentence, she has now been ordered to pay back money she took from her victims."

The proposals for the bridge were shortlisted from 50 entries in a competition launched by Bath and North East Somerset Council in February.
The bridge will link Bath Quays with the city centre. The council said it was essential for the regeneration of the "neglected" quayside district.
The winning design for the Bath Quays Bridge will be announced in November.
Tim Warren, leader of the council, said: "A development of the scale of Bath Quays is a fantastic opportunity for Bath to reinvent a somewhat overlooked corner and connect it with the vibrant and beautiful historic city."
Patrick Anketell-Jones, cabinet member for economic development, said it was a "game-changing development" for the city.
"We want to gauge public opinion on the competition entries before we select the preferred design for what will become a major landmark in the city," he said.
The designs for Bath Quays Bridge will be showcased at an exhibition to be held at the One Stop Shop on Manvers Street, Bath, from September 14 - 25.
The designs will also be available to view online at bathnes.gov.uk. | Australia Post has reported a 56% fall in its half-year profit from a year earlier, and has forecast its first full-year loss in more than 30 years.

A police spokesman said the man - earlier named as Adem Karadag - was the figure in a yellow shirt seen on CCTV leaving a bag at the shrine.
Thai police had earlier said neither of two men in their custody were the main suspects for the 17 August attack.
The motive for the bombing, which killed 20 people, remains unclear.
Fourteen foreigners were among those killed.
Police have released warrants for a total of 17 people over charges stemming from the attack.
The suspects are believed to carrying Chinese, Thai, Turkish and Pakistani passports, though their exact origins are unclear as some are thought to be using fake documents.
Mr Karadag, who has also been named as Bilal Mohammed, was arrested in late August in a raid on a flat on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok.
Thai police had said DNA samples taken from him did not match the DNA found on evidence that the bomber is believed to have left behind on the night of the attack.
Police also appeared to rule out that a second man in their custody - identified as Yusufu Mieraili - was a main suspect in the attack.
However, on Friday, police spokesman Prawut Thornsiri said one of the warrants issued was for "Bilal Mohammed, who is the man in yellow who placed the rucksack at the Erawan shrine".
"All the information we have leads back to him."
Many of the suspects named by Thai police have Muslim-sounding names, prompting speculation that they may be linked to jihadist networks or to Uighur separatist militants from China.
However, the police have not suggested that the attack was politically motivated.

She had complained about how she was treated after returning to work after maternity and sick leave because of a disability related to her pregnancy.
The woman brought her disability and sex discrimination case, aided by the Equality Commission.
The PSNI said it accepted the findings of the commission's report.
When the woman returned to work, she was given restricted duties and called to appear before an all-male attendance panel.
She was given an informal warning for unsustainable absence, but it was rescinded when she appealed the finding.
A new, mixed-gender panel that was convened five months later also found her attendance was unsatisfactory.
It issued an informal note of concern that was to remain live for two years and limited her options for applying for promotion.
In settling the case, the PSNI has also removed the note of concern from her personnel record, granted full mitigation for her period of absence, and adjusted her records and duties to take account of her disability.
The officer said: "This was an extremely difficult and stressful time for me and the way I was treated when I returned to work made it much worse."
She added: "I hope that this will lead to other officers who are faced with such difficulties being treated better by the organisation in future."
The Equality Commission's Eileen Lavery said: "Coping with ill health immediately after the birth of a child can be a very difficult experience and it is important that employers make all necessary arrangements to enable a returning member of staff resume her duties and career."
"In this case, the PSNI agreed to meet with the Equality Commission to review its policies, practices and procedures, and to consider recommendations the commission might make."
ACC Mark Hamilton, head of the PSNI's human resources department, said: "It is important to note that the PSNI were actively reviewing their attendance management policy at the time this case was settled.
"This review, which has now been completed, was not as a direct result of this discrimination case.
"That said, as a result of this particular case, we will apply learning from it in an effort to prevent any recurrence for other officers and staff." | The Police Service of Northern Ireland has settled a discrimination case brought by a female officer for £11,250, without admitting liability. | 34,340,951 | 467 | 30 | false |
The 26-year-old World Cup winner was reported to be among United boss Louis van Gaal's key transfer targets.

The units, dubbed "Churchill's Secret Army", were set up to relay vital information about enemy movements and help mount counter-attacks as Britain braced itself for occupation.
Now Forestry Commission Wales has unearthed a bunker which would have provided a secret hideout, had the troops needed it.
The concrete structure nestled in the Coed Coesau-Whips Woodland near Rudry, between Caerphilly and Cardiff, has been overgrown for 60 years, but even then it would have been hard to spot.
It has been cleaned out, and made to look as it would have done in wartime, with the help of historians from the Coleshill Auxiliary Research Team (CART), and a newspaper appeal for secrets held amongst locals for over half a century.
CART founder Tom Sykes said, "Preserving sites like this is really important as they allow the public to see just what life would have been like for members of Churchill's Auxiliary Units.
"If Hitler had invaded, up to eight men would have lived in bases similar to this and they would have survived off the land and their rations.
The Coed Coesau-Whips site was chosen for its strategic advantages.
Its elevation gave a view over south Wales and the Bristol Channel.
It was also close enough to the heavy industry of the south Wales valleys to act as a base for sabotage missions, and was rural enough for men to have scavenged for food and live anonymously for months at a time without attracting attention.
The bunker's concrete facade was camouflaged in soil and undergrowth and was designed to slide away like a sunroof.
It would have revealed basic living quarters which could easily have been mistaken for the den of a vagrant if discovered.
However, behind another false door was an inner chamber which would have hidden state-of-the-art radio communications, maps and reconnaissance photos, and be a control centre for hundreds of operatives working in the field.
To make it safe for visitors, Forestry Commission Wales has had to clear away all the accumulated foliage and rubbish, as well as build a path from the road and put up fences to prevent people falling into the camouflaged bunker.
Ranger at the forest, Emma Louise Felkin, said, "We've always said that our forests have an important role to play in providing a whole range of social, environmental and economic benefits, but this bunker reminds us of a time when they were important for a totally different reason.
"It's right that we remember our past and we were delighted that CART was able to help us preserve this fascinating part of our heritage." | While the role of the Home Guard during World War II has been widely celebrated, very little is known of their counterparts in the Auxiliary Units, who would have been Britain's last line of defence in the event of a Nazi invasion. | 12,941,002 | 610 | 54 | false |
The accident happened at junction 29 near Paisley at about 15:45 on Saturday.
Police Scotland said the man appeared to lose control of the green SMC quad bike before crashing. Emergency services attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigating officers have urged any witnesses to come forward.
Sgt Mark Miller, from Police Scotland's Divisional Road Policing Unit at Greenock, said: "I would appeal to anyone who was on the M8 near to Junction 29 around the time of the crash, who may have witnessed what happened, to get in touch.
"I am also appealing for any motorists who could potentially have dashcam footage of the incident, or of the quad bike driving on the motorway beforehand, to please come forward."
The double-decker crashed into a railway bridge in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday.
First Bus said it was the driver's second incident since June but denied reports she had been suspended.
The firm and Greater Manchester Police are currently conducting separate investigations.
A First Bus spokesman said the driver had been "relieved from duty" during its inquiries and Wednesday's incident was currently not a disciplinary matter.
"She suffered shock. On safety grounds we wouldn't expect the driver to get back behind the wheel at the moment. And we wouldn't expect her to work while an investigation is on going," he added.
The firm said she also had "a minor incident involving a scraped mirror" since starting her role in June.
One man suffered a broken jaw and a woman was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries after the vehicle crashed on Milkstone Road shortly before 12:30 BST.
The number 17 bus was about half-a-mile away from its usual route between Manchester and Rochdale.
Twenty-five people were on board and managed to get off the vehicle.
Moreau is probably best known for her role in Francois Truffaut's 1962 new wave film Jules et Jim.
She won a number of awards including the best actress prize at Cannes for Moderato Cantabile in 1960.
She also worked with Orson Welles on several films and won the Bafta Award for best foreign actress for Viva Maria! in 1967.
Moreau was found dead at her home in Paris, the district's mayor told the AFP news agency.
Paying tribute, French President Emmanuel Macron said Moreau had "embodied cinema" and was a free spirit who "always rebelled against the established order".
Of the three most iconic French actresses of her generation - herself, Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot - Moreau was the one with the most on-screen authority. Post-war French cinema is unthinkable without her.
So many key directors owe important, often breakthrough successes to her - Louis Malle's Lift to the Scaffold and The Lovers, Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim and Jacques Demy's Bay of Angels, for instance.
Her famous sensual presence was backed up with formidable timing and technique, so much so that every major director wanted to work with her - Orson Welles, Michelangelo Antonioni, Joseph Losey and Luis Bunuel among them.
She was, perhaps, the female equivalent of what Welles called a "king" actor - someone who cannot help but be the centre of attention. Certainly, over time, she became almost everyone's idea of the ultimate magnetic French movie star.
Moreau was born in 1928, the daughter of a French restaurateur and a Tiller Girl dancer from Oldham.
She pursued an acting career, despite her father's disapproval, and got her break in the 1957 films Lift to the Scaffold, which had a jazz score by Miles Davis, and The Lovers.
Known for her husky tones, her other films included 1961's La Notte, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni; Luis Bunuel's Diary of a Chambermaid (1964); and Tony Richardson's Mademoiselle (1966).
Welles, who worked with her on films including Chimes at Midnight and his adaptation of Kafka's The Trial, once described her as the greatest actress in the world.
She famously turned down Mike Nichols' invitation to play Mrs Robinson in The Graduate, and instead reunited with Truffaut for 1968's The Bride Wore Black, an homage to Alfred Hitchcock.
She was also known for her singing voice and performed the refrain Le Tourbillon de la Vie in Jules et Jim.
Moreau had a prolific career and continued acting into her 80s.
In an interview with the New York Times in 1989, she said: "I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with who am I - those complications when one is searching for one's self. I have no doubt who I am."
Her theatre career included a role in 1989 as a matchmaker in La Celestine, a 15th Century Spanish play by De Fernando de Rojas.
Moreau won one of France's highest acting honours, a Cesar for best actress, for The Old Lady Who Walked in the Sea in 1992.
A feminist icon for many, the actress once declared: "Physical beauty is a disgrace."

The musician said she would "bring together music's best forward thinkers" for the week-long event.
Although the programme is yet to be announced, it is bound to combine her revolutionary politics with a restless passion for new music.
Created in 1993, Meltdown is curated by a different cultural figure every year, from David Bowie to Yoko Ono.
MIA said she intended to showcase "different types of music which have inspired each other to exist" at London's South Bank Centre.
The singer, whose biggest hits is the Clash-sampling Paper Planes, is known for pitting hip-hop beats against world music.
Her lyrics address oppressed peoples around the world, including Tamils, Palestinians, and African-Americans.
Often outrageous, always outspoken, her songs and videos have angered the US government, Super Bowl fans, and an entire French football team.
Here are five times she stood up to the status quo.
The video for Bad Girls finds MIA perched atop a car as it races through the Moroccan desert on two wheels.
It was inspired by YouTube videos of "drifting culture" - a Saudi phenomenon, where daredevil drivers nonchalantly sip tea or smoke hookahs while their vehicle is tipped up on the passenger-side tires.
By putting herself in the driving seat, MIA was openly supporting the "Women to drive" movement in Saudi Arabia, which is (still) seeking to allow females the right to drive in public.
When MIA appeared as Madonna's guest at the 2012 Super Bowl, she was instructed to censor a lyric during the song Give Me All Your Luvin'. She responded by raising her middle finger to the camera - and America went apoplectic.
"I literally had to make out of there like a diamond robber," she told the BBC of the aftermath. "There was so much press. I was like, 'I can't believe this, it's insane.'"
The National Football League attempted to sue her for $16 million, saying the singer broke a pre-show agreement to maintain its "reputation for wholesomeness".
MIA responded with a feisty YouTube statement, protesting that at "the precise moment in question" you could see 15 dancers behind her, all of them under 16.
"They're all wearing cheerleader outfits, hips thrusted in the air, legs wide open, in this very sexually provocative position," she said. "Is my finger offensive, or is the underage black girl with her legs wide open more offensive to the family audience?"
The dispute was eventually settled in private.
As recently as last year, the star courted controversy by appearing to criticise the Black Lives Matter movement.
Asked about the upsurge in politically-motivated music by London's Evening Standard, she said: "It's interesting that in America the problem you're allowed to talk about is Black Lives Matter. It's not a new thing to me - it's what Lauryn Hill was saying in the 1990s, or Public Enemy in the 1980s.
"Is Beyonce or Kendrick Lamar going to say Muslim Lives Matter? Or Syrian Lives Matter? Or this kid in Pakistan matters? That's a more interesting question.
"And you cannot ask it on a song that's on Apple, you cannot ask it on an American TV programme, you cannot create that tag on Twitter, Michelle Obama is not going to hump you back."
The quotes were characterised as an attack on Black Lives Matter - an accusation the star angrily denied. Nonetheless, the controversy led to her being dropped as the headliner of the Afropunk Festival in London.
As a former refugee, who escaped the violent civil war in Sri Lanka to come to London as a child, MIA has written about the refugee experience since her first album, 12 years ago.
But the self-directed video for Borders was her boldest statement to date, featuring boatloads of refugees, and people desperately climbing barbed wire fences in an attempt to flee tyranny.
She said it was inspired by an aerial photograph of "1,000 people in one boat" printed by Time Magazine, which pressed home the urgency of the topic.
"We're at some sort of turning point," she said. "Society was gearing up to become more closed off than it has been."
Bizarrely, the biggest protest against the video came from the Paris Saint-Germain football team, who objected to MIA wearing a bootlegged version of the club's shirt (it read "fly pirates" rather than "fly Emirates").
An exasperated MIA said the team had missed the "bigger picture and the bigger message".
"It's gone over their head."
MIA's fourth album opened with a track called The Message - riffing on the spiritual song Dem Bones, with a lyric about government surveillance.
"Headbone connects to the headphones / Headphones connect to the iPhone / iPhone connected to the internet / Connected to the Google / Connected to the government."
Back in 2010, critics derided the song as naive - but three years later, Edward Snowden leaked details of a massive global surveillance programme by the US National Security Agency.
MIA responded by posting a collage of those negative reviews on Tumblr, asking "Who said this three years ago?"
Her actions earned the praise of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who later helped her write lyrics on her fourth album, Matangi.

Decebal Mihai, 28, from Kenlis Street in Banbridge and Spartacus Ilie Mihai, 20, from Henly Road, Ilford, in Essex, deny the five charges they each face.
It follows police searches of properties in east Belfast and Banbridge on Thursday.
Police said four women were rescued from the two locations - one in Belfast and three in Banbridge.
The searches were carried out at properties on the Newtownards Road in east Belfast and at Kenlis Street in Banbridge on Thursday.
A related search was conducted in London by the Metropolitan Police, but no victims were found and no one was arrested.
At Belfast Magistrates Court on Saturday, police acknowledged that four women in the public gallery were the same people they'd rescued, and that two of them were the partners of the accused.
The women were in court apparently supporting the two Romanian men.
District Judge George Conner refused bail, saying there was a risk of the pair re-offending and interference with the inquiry.
The two men will appear again in court via video link on June 19.
A document released under the Freedom of Information Act shows officers left after being accused of sexual assault, domestic violence and benefit fraud.
The force has also launched a drive to tackle a 46% rise in the number of complaints since April 2013.
Tim Passmore, Suffolk's Police and Crime Commissioner, said he would ask the chief constable to investigate.
Mr Passmore said: "Officers who don't behave with the highest levels of integrity are letting themselves and the people of Suffolk down.
"The vast majority of officers are hard-working individuals who give fantastic service, but sadly a minority don't behave as you would expect and I will be asking the chief constable to look at these figures and will work with him to see what else we can do to reduce them.
"These people are letting down their colleagues who do their job properly, because this tarnishes the majority."
The force recorded a 46% rise in complaints, from 259 in 2012-13 to 379 in 2013-14.
One woman complained officers had forced their way into her property while she was on holiday, causing damage, and it turned out they had gone to the wrong address.
Another had a complaint upheld after they alleged they were unlawfully strip-searched.

Other upheld complaints related to the address of a witness being released prior to a court case "putting the victim and witness in fear".
A Complaint Reduction Strategy was introduced involving a number of training initiatives such as a podcast on integrity.
Suffolk Police said the force was still below the national average for complaints and the rise needed to be viewed "in context".
A Suffolk Police spokeswoman said: "We take all complaints extremely seriously and conduct thorough investigations while weighing up the nature of the alleged offence and the needs of the victim or complainant.
"It is now far easier for members of the public to engage with the complaints process in person, by phone, email or in writing.
"The increase in complaints and allegations may indicate greater public confidence in making complaints."

The device - which features a programmable array of red LED lights - includes two buttons and a built-in motion sensor that were not included in a prototype shown off in March.
But another change means the product no longer has a slot for a thin battery.
That may compromise its appeal as a wearable device.

Stokes was hit for four consecutive sixes in the final overs as West Indies claimed a dramatic win in India.
"This will play a big part in making him a very strong character," said Broad. "You always learn more from making errors than from the good days.
"He's got every attribute to be one of the best cricketers England's had."
Broad has bounced back from adversity himself.
Now the world's top-ranked Test bowler, he was hit for six sixes in an over at the 2007 World T20.
"Most world-class athletes go through tough times and periods where they get it wrong," said Broad.
"Having had a tough period, he knows what that's like and he'll always be hungry to improve."
Marlon Samuels, whose 85 not out from 66 balls laid the foundation for Carlos Brathwaite's winning sixes in the final in Kolkata, criticised Stokes in Sunday's post-match news conference.
The West Indies batsman, who clashed with Stokes on England's 2014 tour of the Caribbean, was fined 30% of his match fee for "using abusive and offensive language" towards the England all-rounder.
"I'm a cricketer who has always tried to play on the edge, live on the edge, and I like to be in a competitive battle," said Broad.
"Ben Stokes is a cricketer like me. He likes to get in a battle, he likes to have a few words, as does Marlon Samuels.
"Once you cross that white line, you shake hands at the end, I think that's personally the end of it."
Broad was left out of the squad for the World Twenty20 but harbours "huge ambitions" to play white-ball cricket, with an eye on the 50-over World Cup in England in 2019.
He admits feeling envious of the atmosphere his England team-mates experienced at the World T20 in India.
"It had razzmatazz, it was great fun, we were lucky that the players put on a show for us as fans," said the former England T20 captain.
"It was testament to the tournament that it had a final like it did. I can't think of a more exciting cricket final to watch, going down to the last over.
"It was probably the best-run tournament I've seen for Twenty20. I was heartbroken and gutted England didn't get over the line, but that's sport and cricket is a lot better off for having a lot of people watch that tournament."
Russian star Sergey Lazarev is widely tipped to win on Saturday with his techno ballad, You Are The Only One.
The country traditionally places highly in the competition, but was beaten to second place by Sweden's Mans Zelmerlow last year.
However, the semi saw Iceland fail to qualify for the second year in a row.
A total of 18 countries took part in Tuesday's competition, but only 10 made it through to the Grand Final.
They were Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands and Russia.
It was particularly good news for the Czech Republic, as this was the first time since the semi-final system was introduced in 2004 that they have qualified.
"It's a historical moment for my country," said singer Gabriela Guncikova.
"We got an opportunity to create something great, and I feel honoured that we are here now."
Sergey Lazarev, who hails from Sochi, is a huge pop star in Russia and started his music career as part of the teen-pop group Neposedy, alongside Julia Volkova and Lena Katina of t.A.T.u, who represented Russia at the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest.
He subsequently joined the boyband Smash!! before going solo in 2004. His Eurovision appearance follows the release of a successful greatest hits album last year.
"I am happy that we got to the final," he said after qualifying.
"The show was amazing. I was nervous, to be honest, but now I am just happy."
The Netherlands also emerged as strong contenders on the night, thanks to a low-key, country-inspired ballad by 23-year-old Douwe Bob.
Performing Slow Down on live television "felt brilliant", he said after the show.
"It didn't feel like I was performing for 150 million people. The people were screaming - this was all I hoped for."
The second semi-final on Thursday will see performances from former Westlife singer Nicky Byrne, representing Ireland, and Ukraine's Jamala, whose politically-charged song, 1944, has angered Russia.
The track discusses Josef Stalin's enforced wartime deportation of the Tatar people - one of whom was Jamala's great-grandmother. Thousands died during the journey or starved to death after they arrived.
UK contestants Joe and Jake will also make a pre-recorded cameo during the second semi-final, although their entry qualifies automatically, as the UK is one of the "big five" contributors to the EBU, which hosts the competition.
Although they are unlikely to win, the pair have had their odds slashed from 50/1 to 25/1 following their first rehearsal in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.
Wherever they end up, the duo are almost guaranteed to defeat last year's entrants, Electro Velvet, who picked up a measly five points in Vienna.
Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Joe Woolford said he hoped to break the UK's losing streak.
"We've done a lot of preparation, we've been rehearsing non-stop, we've been practising movement, we've been running in and out of the studio," he said.
"We want to get a good result for the UK."
The latest YouGov poll for ITV Wales puts Labour's constituency vote at 33%, down two points in two weeks.
Prof Roger Scully of Cardiff University said the party remained "some way ahead of the field" but would be "concerned".
Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones said his party has had a "tough five years" in government.
Prof Scully projected Labour winning 28 seats, Plaid Cymru 13, Tories 10, UKIP seven and the Lib Dems two.
On constituency votes the data, compiled for the Welsh Election Study from 19-22 April, put the parties on the following:
For the regional lists, where 20 of the 60 AMs are elected using a form of proportional representation, the research indicated:
"Labour thus remain some way ahead of the field," said Prof Scully.
"But they must be somewhat concerned that support has edged downwards further: 33% on the constituency vote is Labour's lowest level in any Welsh poll since before the 2010 general election.
"A similar YouGov poll conducted in late April 2011 put Labour on 45% for the constituency vote and 41% for the list vote," he added.
"So Labour are now twelve percentage points lower, on both ballots, than they were at this stage in the electoral cycle before the last assembly election.
"Were Labour's election performance this year to fall below their poll rating - which it has normally done in Wales in recent years - then Labour could be on course for their worst ever vote share in a National Assembly election."
However, Prof Scully pointed out that "the divided opposition leaves Labour well in the lead".
He said Plaid Cymru would be "encouraged that this poll now has them in a clear second place on both ballots".
The Lib Dems had "moderately good polling news" with an increase in support, he said, but their position was "still highly precarious".
Reacting to the poll, Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones said it had been a "tough five years" in government for his party.
He said: "Our budget has been cut, there's more competition for votes now than there used to be."
Mr Jones added: "We take nothing for granted, there's a lot of work to do between now and the election.
"We know from last year's election that polls are not always as accurate as people think they are."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said her party was "closing the gap with Labour in the polls".
"The 5th of May is Wales' change election. People are telling us all over Wales that we need a change of government, one that will put their interests first," she said.
A spokesman for the Welsh Liberal Democrats said: "We are finding that Kirsty Williams' strong performances in the debates, the hard community work of our teams on the ground, and our positive message for Wales is having an impact."
A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "Polling 12 months ago proved to be well wide of the mark, and voters increasingly take these snapshots with a large pinch of salt.
"With Labour only one seat from losing power, our superb team of candidates continue to articulate our vision for a better future for Wales, with a protected NHS, enhanced support for small businesses and improved school standards."
A UKIP spokeswoman said: "UKIP's polling is holding steady and we are excited that we are set to get our first group of AMs elected into the Welsh assembly, helping to break the bad legacy of years of Labour rule backed by parties that fail to hold them to account."
The findings were based on a survey of 1,011 people conducted from 19-22 April 2016
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said on Twitter that Mr Trump should give up his presidential ambitions because he would never win.
It follows Mr Trump's call for Muslims to be barred from entering the US for security reasons.
Mr Trump tweeted back, calling the prince "dopey".
"You are a disgrace not only to the GOP [Republican Party] but to all America," Prince Alwaleed tweeted.
"Withdraw from the US presidential race as you will never win."
Mr Trump responded by accusing the prince of wanting to use what he called "daddy's money" to control US politicians.
That would not happen, Mr Trump said, when he got elected.
Mr Trump, the frontrunner for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, has been widely criticised for his call for a ban on Muslims entering the US.
On Thursday, Damac Properties - a Dubai firm building a golf complex with Mr Trump - removed his name and image from the property.
His comments came following the California shootings, carried out by two Muslims who the FBI said were radicalised.
Sian Doherty, 24, met Michael Dobson through her job at HMP Gartree, near Market Harborough, in September 2015.
Leicester Crown Court heard Dobson had sent her messages with "crude references", while she called him "darling" in phone calls and bought a new phone to avoid detection.
Doherty was given a six-month sentence.
The National Offender Management Service instructor was caught following "growing concerns" that Dobson was having a relationship with a member of staff.
Dobson, who is serving at least 16 years for murder, exchanged messages with Doherty - who was using the alias Holly Smith - including one which said: "You make me feel alive baby."
Prosecutor Caroline Lody said the inmate had told Doherty: "I'm serious about us", to which she replied: "You better bloody be."
In another message, Dobson told her: "I can't wait to get a visit from you so we can kiss for the two hours", followed by a "crude reference" which Miss Lody did not wish to read in open court.
In mitigation, Michael Garvey told the court the "mischief happened because discipline had broken down in the prison system".
Doherty, who had worked at the category B prison for six months before the relationship with Dobson began, had "allowed herself to fail in her duty", he added.
During sentencing, Judge Nicholas Dean told her: "It does seem to me, on the face of it, there was reluctance (to get involved with Dobson) partly because of the risks if detected, partly because you knew that you were being manipulated yourself.
"This is public service of the most serious nature. The trust you held was very significant."
Fossil fuels emit damaging CO2, wind and solar are variable, nuclear generates radioactive waste, while biomass, depending on the source, can encourage deforestation.
On paper, tidal and wave power would appear to be the best solution, using the ferocious force of the oceans to deliver clean, abundant and consistent energy.
Yet despite the fact the first large-scale tidal project opened in La Rance in France in the 1960s, sea power provides just a fraction of the energy delivered by its renewable counterparts - currently just 0.5GW compared with almost 400GW of wind power.
But renewed determination to develop new technologies to harness the ocean's power means the tidal industry could be set for something of a renaissance.
A tidal project similar to that in La Rance has been built in South Korea, with smaller plants in China, Canada and Australia. Together, these make up nearly all the tidal power generated across the world.
The world's first man-made tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay in Wales is currently awaiting planning permission, while the developer behind the scheme has plans for a further five projects around the UK.
All take advantage of what is called the tidal range - the change in the height of water between low and high tides. An artificial barrier is built, generally across an estuary, to hold water when the tide goes out. This water is then let back into the sea, driving turbines in the process. When the tide is high, the water is let back in, again driving the turbines.
A series of articles looking at how the world will meet increasing demand for energy and the need to cut CO2 emissions linked to global warming, using old and new technologies
In fact, the basic process is very similar to that used in hydropower stations across the world.
The problem, as Cedric Philibert at the International Energy Agency (IEA) explains, is that: "You can only make a tidal barrage where there is a huge difference in sea levels, and there are only a limited number of places where this happens, mainly Canada, Northern Europe and Korea."
There are also some environmental concerns, particularly with building barriers across estuaries, which are biologically very diverse and home to fish nurseries. Mr Philibert says it took 20 years for the natural environment to recover fully from the La Rance barrage.
He says artificial lagoons, such as that proposed in Swansea, are far less disruptive.
But other technologies could help to unleash the true potential of tidal power.
The 1.2MW Seageneration project in Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland, installed in 2008, generates energy from tidal currents, rather than range. Two horizontal axis turbines are anchored to the seabed and are driven by the powerful currents resulting from the tide moving in and out.
As an important area for nature conservation, extensive environmental impact studies have been carried out and, according to Dee Nunn at Renewable UK, "no concerns have been realised".
The proposed MeyGen project in the Pentland Firth in Scotland aims to take tidal power to the next level, with a number of more traditional, three-bladed turbines producing almost 400MW by the early 2020s.
But this is just beginning.
Eight different technologies are currently being tested by the European Marine Energy Centre (Emec), based in Orkney off the northern coast of Scotland, one of the most fertile sites for both tidal and wave power and the only grid-connected test centre in the world.
These are being developed by a range of companies, from small dedicated tidal firms to big utilities and energy equipment manufacturers, and include all manner of different designs, from seabed and floating turbines to corkscrews and circular rings with rotors.
Swedish company Minesto is even pioneering a system where kites tethered to the seabed effectively fly on the currents.
And because they rely on tidal currents rather than differences in sea height, "these in-stream technologies could be used on a much larger scale", says Mr Philibert.
But even the potential of tidal stream energy is overshadowed by that of wave power. Tidal turbines still need fast currents to generate worthwhile amounts of power, and so are well-suited to the edge of islands and, particularly, the inlets between them.
Waves are everywhere where there is good wind speed.
The problem has been developing a system that is robust enough to cope with the extreme conditions of the open waters, not least the need to cope with a hundred-year wave.
As Ms Nunn says, "This is proving more difficult [than tidal]."
Since 2011, the 300kW Mutriku wave project has been operating in Spain, but this is a rare exception.
Scottish wave power company Pelamis is a case in point. Despite being a pioneer in the industry, developing its first prototype in 2004 and having successfully generated 250MW/h of electricity, the firm went into administration late last year. Others are also struggling to attract sufficient investment.
But many firms have been able to secure funding, and are continuing to develop various technologies, with four companies currently in testing at Emec.
Australian company Carnegie Wave Energy is also making great strides using large buoys 20 metres in diameter, sitting under the surface of the water, says Ms Nunn.
All these technologies are a long way from commercialisation, and there has been some frustration at the pace of development of both tidal and wave power.
As Lisa MacKenzie at Emec says, "Everyone was expecting to progress faster and some have been a little over-optimistic."
The main barrier is cost. For example the test phase of the MeyGen project, involving four turbines generating 6MW of power, will cost £50m. When competing against more advanced clean technologies such as wind and solar, this can be hard to justify.
Any truly transformative technology takes time and money, but ocean power has plenty of potential. In the UK, for example, the Carbon Trust says tidal and wave power could meet 20% of the country's total energy needs.
With new projects likely to open in France, the UK, Canada and Korea in the coming years, the IEA forecasts global ocean power generation to double to 1GW by 2020.
High costs and the very challenging ocean environment will continue to hamper development, but the industry is confident these barriers can be overcome, with tidal and wave power eventually making a meaningful contribution to global energy supply.
Governments may have to contribute a greater share of the development costs, but this could be a small price to pay for harnessing this immense source of clean, predictable energy.

Stourbridge were the lowest-ranked side left in the competition.
And after Sam Wood's scrappy opener for the hosts, Dan Scarr turned home a second-half free-kick which looked to have earned Stourbridge a replay.
But striker Akinfenwa headed in a left-wing cross with seven minutes remaining to knock out the Glassboys.
Stourbridge, who had knocked out League One Northampton to reach the third round for the first time, more than held their own for long spells against a side three divisions above them.
Wood hooked in Wycombe's first from close range, before the non-league club levelled through Scarr with 20 minutes remaining.
But Akinfenwa nodded in the winner, which sent Wanderers through to round four for the first time since 2001, when they went on to reach the semi-finals.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio: "Fair play to Stourbridge, they were the better team in spells. What they gave us today was a real full-blooded cup tie.
"Either club being in the fourth round is a fairytale. Don't dismiss how big Wycombe Wanderers in the fourth round is.
"I'm really proud. We didn't play as good as we have done but we got through which was all we wanted to do."
Stourbridge manager Gary Hackett told BBC WM 95.6: "When you've been at a club for so long and you see that amazing support, it was a bit emotional. There's nothing wrong with that, I don't think.
"I didn't expect it (to be asked to address the supporters at full-time) and sometimes you don't know what you're saying in circumstances like that, but I wanted to say a big thank you from everybody connected with the football club for the support we've had today.
"Of course it (the cup run) will make a difference. Financially, it will put the club in a very strong position, and I think people will remember this day for a long, long time - albeit in defeat."

The service for the off-spinner, who died in March aged 90, took place at the Priory Church in Bolton Abbey.
Dickie Bird, former Test umpire, said: " He was a tremendous cricketer and in any era, a tremendous bowler."
Born in Bradford, Appleyard made his first-class debut in 1951 at 27 years old with 200 wickets in his first season. He made his Test debut in 1954.
Bird, the current Yorkshire County Cricket Club president and a former Yorkshire player, said: " He was an amazing character. I used to sit for hours at Headingley listening to him.
"He will be sadly missed."
Appleyard retired from playing in 1958 and went on to serve a two-year term as club president between 2006 and 2008.
During his career, he took 642 wickets at an average of 15.42 for Yorkshire, and 31 in nine Tests for England.
Appleyard was named as one of Wisden's cricketers of the year in 1952 and appointed an MBE in 2007.
The force, which will be 300 strong, will conduct airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations in the region.
Cameroon and Chad have been targeted by the Islamist militants from northern Nigeria.
Mr Obama said the forces would remain in Cameroon until "no longer needed".
In a notification to Congress, he said an advance force of 90 troops were sent to the country on Monday.
He said all US troops there would be "equipped with weapons for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security".
The US has recognised the increased threat its allies and interests in the region face following Boko Haram's absorption into Islamic State. The jihadist group has shown itself resilient in the face of military operations by the combined armies of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria.
Little has been seen or heard of the African Union-backed Multinational Joint Task Force mandated to spearhead the counter-insurgency mission. Hence support from the US - and France - is crucial at this time.
Last year, US surveillance planes and personnel were deployed in north-east Nigeria after the kidnap of more than 200 schoolgirls who are still missing. This time, away from the global scrutiny the Chibok abductions brought, other US soldiers are deployed elsewhere in the region with similar roles.
It's still early days but this deployment could revamp the gathering of intelligence, and maybe prove a game changer in finding the core Boko Haram leaders who are keeping the jihadist campaign active.
Islamic State ties broaden Boko Haram threat
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the mission would be "part of a broader regional effort to stop the spread of Boko Haram and other violent extremist organisations in West Africa".
US surveillance planes and personnel took part in the search for the Chibok schoolgirls in north-east Nigeria last year, but this is the first US deployment envisaging any sort of combat engagement with Boko Haram.
Cameroon has become a target for Boko Haram militants since backing the Nigerian military in its fight against the group.
Two female suicide bombers killed nine people and injured 29 in an attack on Kangaleri town in far northern Cameroon on Sunday.
The Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) is located inside North Korea just across the demilitarised zone from South Korea. The project was launched in 2004, largely financed by the South to increase co-operation.
It is one of the last remaining points of peaceful engagement between North and South Korea, and is often seen as an indicator of relations between them.
South Korea has said the purpose of the KIC was to develop an industrial park where South Korean companies could manufacture their products using North Korean labour.
It argued that would help North Korea start to reform its economy, which is in a dire state, and ease tensions between the two Koreas.
It was also seen as a way to encourage companies to keep production local rather than moving to China or other low-wage countries.
Although it is a private venture, run by Hyundai Asan, part of the Hyundai Group, and the Korea Land Corporation (also a South Korean company), both governments are involved in the initiative.
Companies have been given incentives by the South Korean government to move operations there, including political risk insurance to cover losses in their investment.
All the goods made there are exported to South Korea for sale.
The KIC is a duty-free zone, and there are no restrictions on the use of foreign currency or credit cards. No visa is required to enter the complex.
A total of 124 companies currently operate in the KIC from industries including clothing and textiles, car parts and semiconductors.
Some 54,000 North Korean workers are employed there as well as hundreds of South Korean workers, according to the Unification Ministry in Seoul. It is the biggest contributor to inter-Korean trade.
If all the stages of development are completed as planned, it will eventually be half the size of Manhattan Island and will house shopping and residential areas, as well as tourism and recreation.
South Korean companies pay about $100m (£69m) a year in wages to North Korean workers in the KIC, according to Yonhap news agency.
The project as a whole has contributed almost $2bn in trade for North Korea, according to the Reuters news agency.
However, if the project is threatened, South Korea also stands to lose.
The government would be liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance payments to the South Korean companies that use the complex.
Yes. In April 2013, the North shut down the complex for more than four months, after heightened tensions sparked by military drills by Seoul and Washington.
Similarly in 2009, North Korean authorities imposed a number of restrictions on the KIC after US-South Korean military drills. Entry into KIC was shut for several days and hundreds of South Korean workers were effectively trapped.
Some observers attribute a decline in production for the year to this incident. The restrictions were later relaxed, the border re-opened and demands that investors increase wages were dropped.
However, for the most part the KIC has continued to operate and expand despite the frequent flare-ups of tension on the peninsula.
It was not shut down in 2010, despite two violent incidents. A South Korean naval vessel, the Cheonan, was sunk in disputed waters, killing 46 sailors. Seoul says a North Korean torpedo sank the ship, but Pyongyang denies any role in the incident.
Late in 2010, North Korean artillery units fired shells onto and around Yeonpyeong Island in disputed waters. Four South Koreans were killed, including two civilians.
It was the first direct artillery attack since the 1950-1953 Korean war. South Korea responded by shooting shells at North Korea.
It is the fourth time Morrissey has been shortlisted for the £15,000 prize, first presented in 1993.
Chair of judges Ian Duhig called her work "politically, historically and personally ambitious".
Morrissey was born in 1972 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland and is the author of five poetry collections.
The 41-year-old was previously shortlisted in 2002, 2005 and 2009 for the prize, organised by the Poetry Book Society.
"In a year of brilliantly themed collections, the judges were unanimous in choosing Sinead Morrissey's Parallax as the winner," Duhig said.
The pieces in Parallax, he continued, were "expressed in beautifully turned language", resulting in a work "as many-angled and any-angled as its title suggests".
Parallax was also shortlisted for the 2013 Forward Prize for Best Collection but lost out to Michael Symmons Roberts's Drysalter.
Drysalter was also shortlisted for the TS Eliot prize, alongside collections by such poets as Helen Mort, Daljit Nagra and Robin Robertson.
In its review in September, the Guardian said: "Parallax is something of a treasure trove, the visual and aural equivalent of a child's feely-bag."
Morrissey, who has said she does not regard herself as either a nationalist or a unionist despite being interested in politics, was appointed Belfast Laureate in July.
In her post, she is expected to try and engage the public in poetry.
"Belfast is a city with an extraordinary literary tradition, especially in relation to poetry," she said last year.
"I am excited to celebrate and explore further both the city and poetry in the year ahead."
The prize, donated by the TS Eliot Trustees, was presented in central London on 13 January. Each of the shortlisted poets received £1,000.
Daley's 3m mixed synchro partner Grace Reid will also miss the event in her home city held between 1-4 June.

The prime minister faces a very different - and potentially more difficult - challenge now that he has a Commons majority of his own.
When he was the leader of a coalition government, he could command a majority of 76. He now has a majority of 12.
Every vote could potentially turn into a cliff hanger, with the prime minister's authority on the line.
The Liberal Democrats proved to be remarkably reliable coalition partners, voting through the vast majority of coalition policy, even when it was not in their own manifesto.
There were rebellions, over tuition fees (although the legislation got through with the votes of the Lib Dem frontbench), press regulation and Europe.
But much of the Conservative legislation that the Lib Dem leadership objected to was never put to the vote because Nick Clegg would not support it.
Some of this - such as the abolition of the Human Rights Act and the greater powers to monitor internet communications, the so-called "snooper's charter" - will be among the new government's first priorities and will be highly unlikely to meet much resistance from the Conservative benches.
But a sizeable group of Conservative backbenchers got used to rebelling against the government during the last Parliament and some may find it a hard habit to break. Which is why Mark Harper's role as the government chief whip - in charge of party discipline - will be a crucial one in Mr Cameron's new cabinet.
And if the next Labour leader is someone who can marshal his or her troops effectively and form alliances with other parties to keep pressure on the government, they have the power to make Mr Cameron's life a misery.
The prime minister is likely to get a honeymoon period from his own party.
One of the first people through the door at Number 10 when Mr Cameron claimed victory on Friday was Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee, the mouthpiece of Conservative backbenchers.
Mr Brady said the prime minister had made a "very open offer" to the committee to involve them in policy making - almost an echo of the "open and comprehensive" offer Mr Cameron made to the Lib Dems in 2010.
Mr Brady said he hoped the leadership and backbenchers would work "harmoniously" and he was sure his colleagues would rise to Mr Cameron's offer "and try to respond in a constructive way".
"I hope that there will be a much wider conversation and starting much earlier in the policy development process, so that we ought to be able to anticipate problems and difficulties and work together to make sure that we can be as harmonious as possible in the obviously quite difficult confines of a very small parliamentary majority."
As a young Tory adviser in the early 1990s, Mr Cameron will have witnessed at first hand the difficulties of governing with a slender Commons majority and what can happen when your own backbenchers turn against you.
John Major began his time at prime minister with a majority of 21 seats - almost double Mr Cameron's - but by the end of his time in power he was facing a nightly battle to get legislation through after losing his majority altogether.
An organised rebellion over Europe - and the Maastricht Treaty - had turned Mr Major into a prime minister widely seen as lacking authority.
Mr Cameron may find he has to rely on the support of smaller parties to avoid a similar fate.
He may come to an arrangement the Democratic Unionist Party, which has eight MPs, although no decision has been reached about this.
The party would be likely to demand a price, in the form of economic help for their constituencies in Northern Ireland, in return for a formal agreement to support the government in key Commons votes.
Mr Cameron may even find himself relying on UKIP which - despite gaining 13% of the vote on Thursday - only has one MP, the former Tory maverick Douglas Carswell, in a knife-edge Commons vote.
The Lib Dems, with eight MPs, might also be called upon to support the Conservatives, although their new leader may wish to distance himself from the coalition era that did so much damage to the party.

The blue Kia was driving on Rochdale Road, Ripponden, at 05:45 GMT when it crashed, police said.
The 47-year-old male driver was freed from the vehicle and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
There will also be five one-dayers and two Twenty20 matches in the contest.
England were beaten 2-0 at home when the two countries last met in a Test series in 2012.
Andrew Strauss was the England skipper at the time and team-mate Kevin Pietersen was dropped after sending controversial texts to the opposition.
Pietersen apologised to Strauss and his team-mates for the texts and, despite being reintegrated into the side, he was later told he was not part of the team's plans, and effectively sacked, in the wake of the 5-0 whitewash in Australia.
England's last tour of South Africa, in 2009-2010 ended 1-1 and was the last time the host side played a four-match Test series.
"Any tour of South Africa is special and, as the Proteas currently set the benchmark in Test and one-day international cricket, it will be a real challenge which our emerging team will relish," said England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton.
The period before the annual safety check is needed could change in 2018 after a public consultation.
Northern Ireland and many European nations already have such an exemption.
The Department for Transport said safer technology and improved manufacturing means new vehicles stay roadworthy for longer.
It cites figures showing the annual number of three and four-year-old cars involved in accidents where a vehicle defect was said to be a contributory factor has fallen from 155 in 2006 to 57 in 2015.
The change would also apply to motorcycles.
MOTs were first introduced in 1960 for vehicles more than 10 years old, with the exemption period dropping to three years in 1967.
Vehicles must currently undergo the test on the third anniversary of their registration and every 12 months once more than three-years-old.
Cars and motorcycles made before 1960, goods vehicles powered by electricity and tractors do not, however, need an MOT.
A number of parts are checked during the MOT test to ensure vehicles meet legal standards, including lights, seatbelts, tyres and brakes, and emission levels are also examined.
More than 2.2 million cars each year require a first test, at a maximum cost of £54.85, with motorists facing a fine of up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.
But it is also a legal requirement that vehicles are roadworthy, regardless of whether they have passed.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said: "We have some of the safest roads in the world and MOT tests play an important role in ensuring the standard of vehicles on our roads.
"New vehicles are much safer than they were 50 years ago and so it is only right we bring the MOT test up to date to help save motorists money where we can."
In November, a poll for the AA of more than 19,000 drivers suggested 44% were in favour of MOTs after four years, while 26% were opposed, and a third did not have a view either way.
Commenting on the proposals, AA president Edmund King said: "The benefits are that there will be cost and time savings for drivers, whilst the downside is that we are likely to see some more cars with faulty tyres and lights slipping through the net."
The fire broke out shortly before 08:00 at Tarradale Game Dealers on the Wyndhill Industrial Estate in Muir of Ord.
Five fire appliances, a high level platform and water carrier were involved in extinguishing the blaze.
Paramedics treated one person for the effects of heat and smoke inhalation.
Fire appliances from Inverness, Dingwall and Beauly have been involved.
Police Scotland said the fire was not being treated as suspicious.
It is the second major incident in Muir of Ord this year.
On Wednesday, a leak from a damaged gas main led to roads and a railway through the village being closed.
For their safety, children at the local primary school were also kept in the school and not allowed home.

Ellie Butler was killed by Ben Butler in the family's Sutton home in 2013, 11 months after she returned to his care.
Senior Coroner Selena Lynch said her "preliminary view" was there were issues that needed to be investigated.
But she stressed she would only make a final decision after receiving submissions and reading case papers.
Ellie's grandfather Neal Gray, who was in court, has called for a full public inquiry into her death.
Ben Butler, 36, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years in June. His partner, and Ellie's mother, Jennie Gray was sentenced to 42 months for child cruelly and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The hearing in Croydon has been considering whether an inquest into the six-year-old's death should be resumed.
Ms Lynch said it was "very unlikely" any new facts about the events of Ellie's death would be revealed but an inquest could look at "wider issues".
"The management of her [Ellie's] care by other agencies such as social and medical services...in my view do fall to be investigated", she said.
Sutton Council said it would "cooperate fully with the course of action the Coroner decides to take".
It said: "An independent Serious Case Review was carried out by Sutton's Safeguarding Children Board and it found we did everything we could in the circumstances."
Neal Gray, who looked after Ellie before she was returned to her parents, has called for an investigation into why family court judge Dame Mary Hogg "exonerated" Butler of causing head injuries to her when she was a baby.
He said he remained "deeply concerned" about decisions made by a family court that had put Ellie in a "dangerous situation" and prevented agencies from acting on "clear warning signs".
"My aim is to get answers and to make sure that lessons are learned so that this cannot happen to another child," Mr Gray said.
Ms Lynch said a hearing could not review previous judicial decisions, judges' "thought processes" or findings.
But she said the "framework" of the way decisions were reached could be examined, as well as the way courts interact with other agencies.
Butler has lodged an application to appeal against his conviction and sentence.
Mr Morales of the left-wing Movement Toward Socialism got 61% of the vote, comfortably beating his closest rival, centre-right candidate Samuel Doria, who received 24.5%.
Mr Morales will now serve a third consecutive term until January 2020.
In a BBC interview he ruled out running for a fourth term in office.
Opposition politician and former president Jorge Quiroga, who came third in the presidential poll, said there had been fraud to inflate the numbers of those supporting Mr Morales.
"There's no doubt he has support, but he wants to show that he has more than he actually has, that his support hasn't dwindled, when everyone knows it has," he said.
The electoral court said a recount would be held at some polling stations in the provinces of Oruro and Santa Cruz, where there had been "irregularities", but they said the recount would not substantially change the final poll result.
Mr Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, has governed the country since 2006.
World Bank figures suggest Bolivia's gross domestic product has tripled since he took office to over $30bn (£18.6bn) in 2013.
The percentage of the population living in poverty has dropped from 60% in 2006 to 45% in 2011.
Mr Morales's government has financed his social programmes though a combination of revenue generated by Bolivia's main export, natural gas, and fiscal prudence.
He remains widely popular among indigenous people who make up almost two thirds of the country's population.
His critics accuse him of authoritarianism and of wasting money on dubious projects, warning that Bolivia's growing prosperity could come to an abrupt end should the price of its raw materials drop.
The electoral court has not yet given an official result for the congressional election, also held on 12 October.
It says the Wikileaks founder, who is fighting UK efforts to send him to Sweden, has "visibly lost weight".
Foreign minister Ricardo Patino said the Wikileaks founder's health "was beginning to be jeopardised".
The UK said it would not prevent "any medical care that he requires".
Mr Assange, 41, who was been staying at the embassy since June, was granted asylum by Ecuador in August.
He was arrested in the UK on an extradition warrant and is wanted for questioning in Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations, which he denies.
The Australian has breached bail conditions by staying at the embassy and faces arrest if he leaves.
Mr Patino said that, as well as asking for assurances over a possible hospital stay, he had requested a meeting with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague over health concerns.
"As a result of the government of Britain's not giving safe passage, Julian Assange's health most certainly is beginning to be jeopardised and this is very serious," Mr Patino said.
"We had hoped that the British government would defend and respect human rights and international law," he added.
In an interview with the Voice of Russia radio station on Wednesday, Ecuador's deputy foreign minister Marco Albuja Martinez said: "Assange has visibly lost weight and we are very concerned for his health.
"If he falls ill, we will have to choose between two alternatives - to treat Assange in the embassy or hospitalise him."
The UK Foreign Office said Mr Patino had "expressed interest" in meeting Mr Hague "and we are waiting for him to suggest suitable dates".
"We remain fully committed to seeking a diplomatic solution with the government of Ecuador, but we must ensure that our laws are respected and followed," a spokesperson said.
"The UK authorities would not prevent Mr Assange from receiving any medical care that he requires."
Mr Assange's Wikileaks website has published leaked sensitive diplomatic cables involving various countries, including the US.
In 2010, two women accused him of committing sexual offences against them while he was in Stockholm to give a lecture.
Mr Assange, who says the sex was consensual and that he regards the case as politically motivated, says he fears being passed on to authorities in the US if extradited to Sweden.
Swedish prosecutors have dismissed Mr Assange's claims their case is part of a wider political move to see him stand trial in the US over his work with Wikileaks.
The 24-year-old, who has autism, is a nine-time British champion and won gold at the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
He is part of a 13-strong squad heading to Gotland this summer.
"It's a great honour and I'm really pleased that records keep breaking," Buesnel told BBC Radio Jersey.
Gymnastics was left out of the programme at the 2015 Island Games in Jersey.
But Buesnel won two silver medals as part of a Jersey squad that went to a gymnastics event in Ynys Mon organised by islands who still wanted to compete.
"I was relieved and honoured when I found out I'd been selected. Hopefully I'll get a medal," added Buesnel, who trains 17 hours per week with both the mainstream Jersey squad and the Jersey Special Gymnastics Club.

"It's great news and we're really pleased for Alex as he's worked really hard to be at the top of where he can be in disability sport," Paul Patterson, from Jersey's Sports Association for the Disabled told BBC Sport.
"The only place he can move to now is mainstream sport and the fact he's made that jump and he's doing well there means he can only improve more and more.
"He's a great role model for people to aspire to in the future," he added.
Jersey coach Ben Frith added: "It goes to show that he is up to the level and we expect good things again in Gotland."
"He's the first special gymnast to make our squad, so it's a great achievement for him."
The last time gymnastics was included in an Island Games was in Bermuda in 2013, when Jersey's Bonita Shurmer took gold in the asymmetric bars.
She will to compete again, alongside Zee Adamson who was also part of the team that went to Bermuda 2013.
Jersey squad: James Evans, Andre Romeril, Zee Adamson, Alex Buesnel, Cameron Aird, Isaac Macintosh, Anushan Elanco, Dan Lee, Ellen Marett, Bonita Shurmer, Elisha Rose Stott, Ruby Rose Mahony, Rosie Xiang Ru Willis.
The Mariners started brightly with Ashley Chambers firing off target following a neat flick by Shaun Tuton.
Tuton was linking up well with Omar Bogle up front and he wasted a glorious chance to give Grimsby the lead when he raced through only to slot wide of the post.
County's response was for Richard Duffy to force James McKeown into a save with a smart volley.
But it was Grimsby who made the breakthrough when Shaun Pearson's header from a corner snuck in.
Bogle extended the lead when he raced on to a poor back pass from Stanley Aborah and beat the advancing Adam Collin.
The hosts gave themselves hope when Jonathan Forte forced home his first goal for the club and they could have equalised straight when Vadaine Oliver was hauled down in the area.
Michael O'Connor took the spot-kick, but his shot hit a post. But Collins did snatch a 2-2 draw for County with a lovely finish from Oliver's brilliant knockdown.

In an interview at Lambeth Palace, Archbishop Justin Welby said that businesses had to consider how they used their powerful positions to support society.
He will flesh out his arguments in a major speech tonight at Church House in London, entitled the Good Economy.
The Archbishop insisted he is not "anti-business", saying that on a recent visit to Coventry he saw how a revitalised car industry had created jobs and local wealth.
"Business is important, we need to affirm the significance of those who generate and create wealth," he said.
The Archbishop kept his strongest comments for the role taxes play in ensuring that companies contribute to the societies in which they operate.
"There has always been the principle that you pay the tax where you earn the money," he told me.
"If you earn the money in a country, the revenue service of that country needs to get a fair share of what you have earned."
His words echo those of Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, who said at the World Economic Forum at Davos last month that technology companies in particular pay taxes which are "very small relative to the returns".
Mr Carney said such companies should have a "sense of responsibility".
After speaking to the Archbishop, it appears Justin Welby agrees.
"It comes back to the very simple principle that we see in what Jesus Christ spoke of - the importance of paying what's due. The Bible speaks of it endlessly," he said.
"One of the problems is that we have this unbelievably complex tax system internationally and in each country, well in most countries.
"Somebody said the other day that the tax system is of biblical proportions, well the Bible is only 1000 pages, how many tax systems are only 1000 pages?
"They are several hundred times that.
"There needs to be simplification in tax so that people are responsible in the right place."
Many global companies would agree with that wholeheartedly, arguing that governments aggressively compete with each other over tax rates and then complain when businesses follow the tax rules set by policy makers.
I asked him if paying taxes was a moral issue.
"Yes of course it is - because tax is part of solidarity, tax is part of saying I belong to this place, I benefit from the fact that we have the police, a health service and a welfare system, we have external security - tax says I'm part of that and therefore I contribute to it."
Of course, the Archbishop's words come just as the whole debate about the role of business in society has sparked into life.
Last weekend, Labour attacked Stefano Pessina, the acting chief executive of Walgreens Boots Alliance, for being based in Monaco.
Ed Miliband said Mr Pessina moved there to avoid paying taxes.
Mr Pessina also moved Boots Alliance headquarters to Switzerland before the merger with Walgreens last year, critics saying he did so for tax reasons.
It has since moved to the US.
Labour's attack came after Mr Pessina suggested that a Labour victory at the general election would be a "catastrophe" for businesses.
The Archbishop clearly wants a broader debate than one between two groups who are supposedly either "anti" or "pro" business.
"I'm strongly in favour of the creativity of wealth and jobs and risk taking and all that goes with that," he told me.
"[But] with wealth comes power and with power comes a temptation to misuse power. There's a reality of the human condition, which Christians call sin, what the Bible calls sin - don't misuse the power you have through wealth."
Many believe that the misuse of the power of wealth is evident in the increasing inequality reported by organisations such as Oxfam.
I asked the Archbishop if some businesses were mis-using their power.
"When haven't they - in history?" he replied.
"You find this in the book of Isaiah 800 years before Christ.
"There are always elements of where that happens because people are people.
"But you don't throw the baby out with the bath water and say that business is bad, you say that there needs to be solidarity and that there needs to be a regulatory framework that does not allow the abuse of power but gives the freedom for creativity." | The Archbishop of Canterbury has entered the febrile debate about the role of business in society, telling me that high levels of inequality must be tackled. | 31,129,466 | 945 | 33 | false |
With just three weeks until the start of the Rio Olympics, the focus should be firmly on the squad selections, the venues, the spectacular backdrop that the city will provide, the medal prospects, the glittering opening ceremony and the unique anticipation that usually accompanies the build-up to the Games, the first to be held in South America.
A time to revive cherished memories of London's golden summer of 2012, alongside hopes for new images of national pride.
Instead, on Monday, at a news conference in Toronto, the integrity of the Olympic movement will receive one of the most shattering blows in its history when Canadian law professor Richard McLaren reveals the findings of his independent investigation into more lurid allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) may have issued a glowing statement about Rio's readiness this week, but there are still plenty of other concerns.
The Rio Games are running 51% over budget, according to a recent study, although this is disputed by the Brazil authorities, while the country is suffering a second year of recession, its worst economic crisis since the 1930s. Spending on Olympic venues has also been cut and ticket sales have been slow, with 29% still available.
There is political upheaval, too, with the country's president, Dilma Rousseff, suspended in May pending an impeachment process.
Meanwhile, the Rio state government issued a state of financial disaster last month, warning of security problems amid budget cuts. Police officers have told tourists they won't be able to protect them and there are increasing worries over violence in the favelas [shanty towns] and police brutality.
Then there are health concerns. The World Health Organisation (WHO) may have been busy playing down fears, but a spate of high-profile withdrawals by some of the world's top golfers has highlighted continuing concerns over the Zika virus.
Serious as these problems are, however, few are likely to spark quite as much intrigue as Professor McLaren, if his report is even half as damning as many now anticipate. Commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), it is expected to make for grim reading, confirming many of the remarkable and explosive claims of whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov.
In May, the former director of Moscow's Wada-accredited anti-doping laboratory told the New York Times that he effectively sabotaged the Sochi 2014 Winter Games, doping dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists, in the build-up to the event.
Rodchenkov alleged this was the result of an elaborate and orchestrated plot with the Russian government, which exploited its host status to subvert the Olympic drug-testing programme. The country's government denies these claims.
Rodchenkov, who is now in hiding in the United States, claimed the Russian security service even worked out how to open and re-seal supposedly tamper-proof doping sample containers and that, at night, he removed 100 Russian samples from the Sochi lab through a concealed hole in a wall.
My understanding is that McLaren will say not only was the Moscow lab manipulating samples but that the cheating was unprecedented in its severity, extending well beyond the 2014 Games and affecting a host of sports which had world championships in Russia during Rodchenkov's tenure, including summer sports.
McLaren gave some clues last month when he told the IAAF, the body that governs world athletics, that he had already found evidence the Moscow lab was manipulating samples between 2011 and 2013.
Sources indicate that Russia will express its dismay that it has still not been afforded an opportunity to give its side of the story yet. And will make the point that it has made significant reforms at anti-doping agency RUSADA in the last 12 months and can now be trusted. It will also remind everyone that other countries have had doping issues too.
But the outcry that Monday will spark will inevitably lead to calls for the international federations of the affected sports to ban all Russian competitors from Rio.
IOC president Thomas Bach may have played down the fairness and likelihood of a total Russian ban, but United States Anti-Doping Agency boss Travis Tygart, the man who brought down cycling drugs cheat Lance Armstrong, told the Press Association this week that the whole Russian team must be kicked out if the allegations are proven.
If high-profile athletes and perhaps even the Wada itself make similar demands, tension with the IOC will be ramped up. Regardless of the consequences in terms of Rio, the scandal will be hugely embarrassing for the Russian government and raise more questions about the country's suitability to host the next football World Cup in 2018.
Four days later, expect even more controversy when the Court of Arbitration for Sport decides whether 68 Russian athletes can compete in Rio after the track and field team were banned last year by the IAAF following a previous Wada report that also found evidence of state-sponsored doping.
The Russian Olympic Committee has appealed, but McLaren's findings are expected to do little for its prospects. Given that Russians have accounted for 26 of the 54 athletes who tested positive in the retrospective testing of 265 samples from the 2008 and 2012 Games, one wonders if it can get any worse for the biggest country on earth. Sadly, it will next week.
With the fall-out from all this likely to extend into early August, when the IOC holds its 129th annual Session in Rio, the risk, of course, is that all this diverts attention from the clean athletes, for whom Rio represents the pinnacle of years of training.
Here in Britain, after a two-year hiatus, Team GB is back.
The hope is that this special sporting entity can once again be a unifying force, helping the country to rally round sport after a divisive month of political turmoil, and an enduring and powerful symbol of diversity, dedication and excellence.
The ambition to deliver Britain's most successful overseas Games may represent a slight downgrade on the targets set in the wake of London's remarkable 65 medals, including those 29 golds, but it will still be gripping to see if the haul won in Beijing eight years ago can be beaten.
Everywhere you look in this team there are great stories…
There are 340 other fascinating personal journeys in Britain's team. And thousands more among their rivals. Each route to Rio is the fulfilment of a dream, involving sacrifice, inspiration, defiance.
This has been a crowded sporting summer already.

Shock winners Leicester City generated unprecedented intrigue in the finale of the Premier League title race, while a heroic Wales side maintained British interest in Euro 2016 right up until the semi-finals, extending a football season that already hogs the headlines. Then there was Andy Murray's second Wimbledon men's singles triumph.
Team GB has had to wait patiently for its turn in the sporting spotlight. But now it is time.
The Olympics represents a short but invaluable window for sportsmen and women who may not be the best rewarded financially, who may not receive the most media coverage, but who, in many cases, are the very best in the world.
This is their moment to shine and to remind the world that, despite its latest crisis, sport's mega-event is still worth fighting for.

Brentford took the lead when Ariel Borysiuk turned Florian Jozefzoon's cross into his own net and John Egan made it 2-0 with a free header.
Neal Maupay smashed into the roof of the net, but Darnell Furlong headed in from close range to pull one back.
Furlong then missed a crucial chance and the Bees' Joshua Clark fired into the bottom corner to complete the rout.
QPR manager Ian Holloway opted to make 10 changes from the side which beat Hull 2-1 on Saturday, with Alex Baptiste the only remaining player.
That decision proved costly as Brentford, who started with six of their weekend XI, made up for their winless start to the Championship season with a resounding victory.
The away side were 3-0 up after only 32 minutes, with Maupay in particular running riot, bombarding goalkeeper Matt Ingram with several attempts.
QPR contributed to their own downfall, giving the ball away to allow Brentford promising position, and although Furlong threatened, Clark's late strike made sure Dean Smith's side made it through.
Meanwhile, QPR defender James Perch will be out "for a number of months" with a dislocated knee cap it was confirmed after the match.
The 31-year-old picked up the injury in the Championship victory over Hull at the weekend.

The striker scored 40 goals for the Scottish champions last season.
"Different managers have different opinions", said Griffiths as he picked up his third player of the year award; this time from SPFL sponsors Ladbrokes.
"The new manager will have his own philosophy and bring in new players but hopefully I'm in there."
"If not I'll keep working behind the scenes and when I get the chance I'll try and take it," he added.
After a successful loan spell at Hibernian from parent club Wolverhampton Wanderers, Griffiths was brought to Celtic by then manager Neil Lennon in January 2014.
After Lennon stepped down that summer, the striker initially found it difficult to force his way into new manager Ronny Deila's plans, often finding himself behind Anthony Stokes and John Guidetti in the pecking order.
However, 16 goals in the second half of the 2014/15 season cemented his place in the side, and laid the foundation for his goal-scoring exploits last season.
Now he must impress yet another new man in the Parkhead dugout, but Griffiths believes the arrival of Rodgers emphasises Scottish football is on the ascendancy.
"It's great not just for us but for Scottish football as well," he noted. "It raises the profile - a big-name manager coming to Celtic.
"It raises the Scottish game. Everybody says its poor but the calibre of manager we've just brought in shows it's not poor."
Griffiths had already received the PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers Association player of the year accolades, and was happy to make it a hat-trick with the League sponsors prize.
"You never get tired of winning these awards. I got the phone call the other day to say I'd won it and it just tops off a great season."

Labour has lost more than 380 council seats, UKIP has suffered heavy losses and the Lib Dems have not made the gains they had hoped for.
The Conservatives appear to have been the main beneficiaries of a decline in support for UKIP.
The party is now in charge of 11 more councils having taken Derbyshire from Labour as well as Warwickshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire, the Isle of Wight and Monmouthshire - all of which were previously under no overall control.
They also increased their total number of councillors in Scotland by more than 160.

Noxolo Nkosana, 23, is the latest victim of a series of violent attacks against lesbians.
She was stabbed a stone's throw from her home in Crossroads township, Cape Town, as she returned from work one evening with her girlfriend.
The two men - one of whom lives in her community - started yelling insults.
"They were walking behind us. They just started swearing at me screaming: 'Hey you lesbian, you tomboy, we'll show you,'" Ms Nkosana tells the BBC.
Before she knew it a sharp knife had entered her back - two fast jabs, then she was on the ground. Half conscious, she felt the knife sink into her skin twice more.
"I was sure that they were going to kill me," she says.
Many lesbians have died in such attacks - 31 in the last 10 years, it is reported.
In April, Noxolo Nogwaza was raped by eight men and murdered in KwaThema township near Johannesburg.
The 24-year-old's face and head were disfigured by stoning, and she was stabbed several times with broken glass.
The attack on her is thought to have begun as a case of what is known as "corrective rape", in which men rape lesbians in what they see as an attempt to "correct" their sexual orientation.
The practice appears to be on the increase in South Africa.
More than 10 lesbians per week are raped or gang-raped in Cape Town alone, according to Luleki Sizwe, a charity which helps women who have been raped in the Western Cape.
Many of the cases are not reported because the victims are afraid that the police will laugh at them, or that their attackers will come after them, says Ndumie Funda, founder of Luleki Sizwe.
"Many of them just suffer in silence," she says.
"The cases people read about in the media are not even the tip of the iceberg. Lesbians are under attack in South Africa's townships every day."
Reports of police ridiculing rape victims abound in the gay community.
"Some policemen in the township mock you saying: 'How can you be raped by a man if you are not attracted to them?' They ask you to explain how the rape felt. It is humiliating," says Thando Sibiya, a lesbian from Soweto.
She says she knows two people who reported rapes but then dropped their cases because of their treatment by the police.
Some trace the root of the problem to pockets of traditional African society that have not accepted homosexuality - especially among women.
"African societies are still very patriarchal. Women are taught that they should marry men, anything outside of that is viewed as wrong," says Lesego Tlhwale from African gay rights group Behind the Mask.
"It is seen as un-African for two women to marry. Some men are threatened by this and then want to 'fix' it," she adds.
She notes that the women who have been killed in South Africa so far have been described as "butch lesbians" - a slang term used to describe lesbians with a masculine or manly appearance.
"They are threatened by these kinds of lesbians in particular. They say they are stealing their girlfriends. It is a warped sense of entitlement and a need to protect their manhood."
South Africa is the only African country to have legalised homosexual marriage, and one of only 10 in the world. The constitution specifically forbids discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.
But on the ground, prejudice remains common.
On the streets of Johannesburg, it is easy to find men who support the idea of "corrective rape".
"When someone is a lesbian, it's like saying to us men that we are not good enough," Thulani Bhengu, 35, tells the BBC.
Very few cases of rape against lesbians have ever resulted in convictions.
No-one knows how many of the more than 50,000 cases of rape reported in South Africa each year are committed against gay women, because the victim's sexual orientation is not recorded.
But after the murder of Ms Nogwaza - and a petition signed by 170,000 people around the world calling for an end to "corrective rape" - the justice department has begun to listen.
It is in the process of setting up a team to develop a strategy for tackling hate crimes against gay people, and is considering introducing heavier sentences for offences where the victim's sexual orientation is a factor in the crime.
Ms Nkosana is afraid that she might be attacked again, but says she will not be "forced back in the closet" - made to pretend that she is a heterosexual.
"They made me a victim in my own neighbourhood but I won't let them win," she says. "They can't stop me from being who I am."
But despite her defiant attitude, Ms Tlhwale says many South African lesbians are deeply worried.
"Everyone is scared," she says. "We have seen an increase in attacks against lesbians in recent months. Everyone we speak to is afraid that they might be next."
Red light and speed cameras were switched off in 2011 after the safety camera partnership was dissolved.
Up to 29 static cameras were due to be reactivated but only two are working in Saltford and New Bristol Road, Worle.
Some 2,879 offences were detected between 11 February and 31 March - 1,912 in Worle and 967 in Saltford.
The police began the official switch on of cameras in February but the Worle camera has been working since last November.
Richard Corrigan, road safety lead at Avon and Somerset Police, said the force was "disappointed" that some drivers continued to ignore the relevant speed limits.
"It remains our commitment to target resources [including static sites and voluntary groups] in the most appropriate way to keep our roads as safe as possible," he said.
"It would be misleading to send the message to the public that only these two sites are active. This can and will change on a daily basis."
Mr Corrigan added the reactivation programme was "actively ongoing" and drivers should assume that cameras are working.
Of the 29 static cameras in the Avon and Somerset Police area, 17 are owned by the force and 12 remain the property of local councils.
The latest Freedom of Information figures show the fastest recorded speed detected by the camera in Worle was 73 miles per hour (mph), in a 30mph zone.
In Saltford it was 62mph, again in a 30mph area.
The captives were discovered during a raid by the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), following a tip-off.
The undocumented prisoners said they had been there for a week, and alleged police at the Manila station had locked them up in order to extort money.
But officers said they were arrested as part of President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
Mr Duterte has launched a brutal crackdown across the country, leading to the deaths of more than 7,000 suspected dealers, killed by police or vigilante groups.
Tens of thousands have also been arrested since the it was launched last year.
Superintendent Robert Domingo told local media the captives discovered on Thursday had been rounded up during a "one-time, big-time" raid, and had no documents because they were still being processed.
But local media - who appear to have been invited along to film the CHR raid - reported that many of the people inside the windowless room said they were innocent, and were being asked to pay between P40,000 and P200,000 ($800-$3,990/£609-£3,095) for their release, according to figures released by ABS-CBN.
They also made allegations of torture, and told how the room had no electricity and they were forced to use plastic bags instead of a toilet.
Supt Domingo denied all the allegations, telling The Inquirer that the 1m x 3m room was "such a waste of space".
"Why should I not maximize it?" he added.
CHR spokesperson Jackie De Guia said they would continue to investigate what had happened in the police station, noting to GMA Network: "No normal detention facility is kept behind equipment such as bookshelves."
Several policemen were injured in a clash with the supporters of the controversial guru on Tuesday.
The 63-year-old self-styled guru, known as Rampal, is on bail after being accused in a 2006 murder case.
But authorities ordered his arrest on contempt charges after he failed to appear in court several times.
The clashes occurred when the police went to arrest Rampal in his ashram. Police say armed supporters are holding people hostage and using women and children as human shields.
"The bid by the cops to nab him exposed several flaws in their strategy and operational preparedness… Despite keeping close watch on the premises and armed with the prior knowledge of weapons in the ashram, the police appeared completely unprepared and they were the worst hit during the action," The Times of India says.
Many journalists who were covering the clashes were also injured, reports said.
The Asian Age says the police "used batons against several media people covering the clash between sect followers and the security forces".
The police have promised to look into the allegations, the India Today website reports.
"The moment this operation is over, we will get it looked into... There was no intentional or operational compulsion to target the media," the website quotes top police official SN Vashisht as saying.
Meanwhile, papers feel Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Australia has "scripted a new chapter" in India's ties with the country.
Mr Modi met Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Canberra on Tuesday and also addressed Australian lawmakers.
The leaders pledged to boost bilateral trade and agreed to speed up talks on a crucial nuclear agreement.
"Bilateral trade between the two countries has lagged considerably behind the potential. The actual trade languishes at just $15bn, against a $40bn target by 2015," says The Hindu in an editorial.
The two countries have now agreed to sign a free trade agreement by 2016 to boost bilateral trade.
Papers say the personal camaraderie between the two leaders is likely to help Delhi and Canberra work closely on global issues like security, terrorism and economy.
"Mr Modi's vigorous approach to Asia is matched by his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott's enthusiasm for partnership with India," says The Indian Express editorial.
Apart from trade, the paper sees the two countries coming together to form a regional bloc in the Asia Pacific region.
"Given the bilateral enthusiasm for expanding the circle of engagement, Delhi and Canberra must initiate a joint dialogue with Indonesia and also pull Japan in to bulwark the region against the vicissitudes of China-US relations," it adds.
The Hindustan Times praises Mr Modi's outreach to Australian lawmakers and his initiatives to start several track II diplomatic channels.
"In a well-received address to the Australian parliament, Mr Modi memorably underlined that Australia will not be at the periphery of India's vision 'but at the centre of our thought'," it says.
The paper adds that "the India-Australia relationship will now be one to look out for in the fast evolving Asia Pacific region".
In some domestic news, fresh data shows that more than 90% of the rape cases in Delhi this year were committed by those known to the victims.
The Delhi police told a court on Tuesday that in many cases the suspects were fathers, uncles, neighbours, friends and even grandfather, The Hindu reports.
"A total of 1,704 cases were registered till 15 October this year, and the accused were strangers only in 72 cases," according to the data submitted by the Delhi police.
And finally, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has raised concerns over the condition of India's world heritage sites like the Western Ghats, Kaziranga National Park and the Sundarbans, The Hindu reports.
"Assessing the threats faced by the sites, the IUCN experts observed that there was 'extraordinary' pressure on biodiversity remains in the Western Ghats, given the 'tremendous population pressure both within and surrounding the property," the report adds.

Actor James Nesbitt admits to being "as surprised as anyone else" when he was asked to co-host Fifa's Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday.
The football association announced in December that the Coleraine actor will co-host the event.
He was joined by Sky Sports News presenter Kate Abdo.
Speaking in an interview broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday News programme, Nesbitt was clearly relishing the chance to present the award.
"I keep thinking I'm going to go out there and they'll say 'Oh no, we didn't mean you!'.
"But I am a huge fan and this is an opportunity for the best footballers of the world to be gathered together, to celebrate them and the purity of football, which is why so many of us are enthralled by it."
The Manchester United and Northern Ireland supporter described what manager Michael O'Neill has done for his home side as "astonishing".
"There's a feel-good factor at home with Northern Ireland going through [to the UEFA Euro 2016].
"Michael is someone who brings people together and that is something that will be reflected in the level of support this year and the sense of community and brotherhood that there'll be in France."
Nesbitt recently returned to his native Northern Ireland to film a new three-part drama about the real-life double murder carried out by Ballymoney dentist Colin Howell and his lover Hazel Stewart.
He will portray Howell in the ITV series The Secret, alongside Genevieve O'Reilly who will play Stewart.
He admitted it "wasn't an easy shoot", but that "it was something with a very good pedigree of people attached to it".
He added: "It was based on a book by Deric Henderson, a very respected journalist and former head of the Press Association in Northern Ireland.
"It was a drama that we treated with - I hope - great sensitivity.
"There are still a lot of people who are still affected by that story."
Nesbitt will also be reprising his role as Adam in the comedy-drama series Cold Feet, to be broadcast on ITV next year.
Although older, the character is not necessarily wiser.
"There's still an element of 'eejitry' about him from what I can tell," he said.
Laughing off the suggestion that his own character might be of a similar nature, he added: "No, no no, I'm the Chancellor of the University of Ulster - please remember that."
In December, Nesbitt received an OBE in the New Year Honours list for services to drama and the community in Northern Ireland.
Aside from his acting achievements, the award was in recognition of his work with the Wave Trauma Centre, which supports people bereaved, injured or traumatised during the conflict in Northern Ireland.
He said he hoped his award would raise awareness of the cause.
"I've been very lucky in my acting career - there are plenty of actors who are more able than me. But because of the lucky nature of my success, I've been afforded the opportunity to do quite a bit in Northern Ireland, which is a privilege.
"And if this brings more attention to the vital work that Wave are doing, then I'm thrilled," he said.
Nesbitt expressed frustration at the lack of support for victims of the Troubles, saying: "These are real people who continue to be impacted, and [the trauma] is passing on to their family members.
"You cannot move on without fully addressing what is clearly the ongoing and indelible legacy of the past and really looking after the people who have suffered and are still suffering."
Paying tribute to Nesbitt, CEO of Wave Sandra McPeake, said he has taken a very personal and passionate interest in the plight of victims since he became patron of the centre in 2000.
"Jimmy is so much more than just a face to a campaign," she said.
"People wouldn't realise the hours he puts in for us - holding fundraisers, generating awareness and support, quietly sending us cheques - no fuss, expecting nothing in return.
"He also de-stigmatised talking about the Troubles by highlighting the impact on the bereaved and injured."
In recent years, Nesbitt has backed appeals by the families of the Disappeared for information that could lead to the recovery of victims still not found.
Ms McPeake said that regardless of his acting schedule, he never fails to make contact when news emerges about a fresh search.
"I even got a call from New Zealand, where he was filming the Hobbit, because he saw a story about developments in one of the cases," she said.
"We're just delighted that he got the OBE - he thoroughly deserved it."
The Englishman racked up breaks of 78, 75, 62 and 139 as Dott managed a total of just 21 points.
O'Sullivan will face Luca Brecel in the last eight after the Belgian beat Mike Dunn of England 5-3.
English 2005 world champion Shaun Murphy will play Zhou Yuelong of China after beating Scot Stephen Maguire 5-0.
World number eight Murphy is the highest-ranked player left in the event after the top six all lost on Friday and Australian world number seven Neil Robertson was beaten in the first round.
Two-time world champion Mark Williams of Wales beat England's Tom Ford 5-3 to set up a quarter-final against home favourite Li Hang, who edged past Welshman Matthew Stevens 5-4.
Ali Carter won an all-English tie against Mark Davis 5-1 and will take on Irishman Fergal O'Brien, the 5-4 winner of a lengthy battle with Alan McManus of Scotland.
Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, died while visiting relatives in the country in July.
Her first husband Chaudhry Muhammad Shakeel is accused of her murder. The court in Jhelum indicated a higher court could yet hear his bail request.
Meanwhile, Ms Shahid's second husband, Syed Mukhtar Kazam, wants the case moved.
The High Court in Lahore is due to hear his application, which claims Ms Shahid's family has made threats to his life.
Lawyers for Mr Shakeel have not said if he now intends to make an application to the Punjab High Court.
Beautician Ms Shahid married Mr Kazam in Leeds in 2014 and the couple moved to Dubai.
Mr Kazam claimed his wife was killed because her family disapproved of their marriage.
Initially it was said she had died of a heart attack, but a post-mortem examination found she had been strangled.
Her father, Chaudhry Muhammad Shahid, has been held as a suspected accessory and released on bail.
Eleven men and one woman from Northern Ireland and Manchester admitted a role in the drugs smuggling.
They were arrested following six drugs seizures between September 2013 and August 2014.
Sentencing at Londonderry crown court, Judge Philip Babington said each defendant "played their own important role".
Judge Babington described Declan Gallagher, 34 - originally from Derry but who had been living in greater Manchester - as the "organiser and director of the entire criminal enterprise".
He pleaded guilty to seven separate charges and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
A PSNI officer said Gallagher had fled to Manchester after he was shot by dissident republicans at his home in St Johnston, County Donegal, in 2008.
He also escaped injury in a pipe bomb attack and his Donegal home was destroyed in a separate arson attack, the court heard.
Judge Babington said the 12 defendants might not have known each other, but all were known to Gallagher and that they acted at his behest.
He said the PSNI's Operation Meris had made seizures in Antrim, Larne, Belfast, Dromore and twice in Derry.
The court heard the operation involved extensive undercover surveillance, CCTV and mobile phone triage after meetings of the drugs gang in Manchester and Lisburn in March 2014.
Declan Palmer, 44, who was involved in five of the six drug seizure, was sentenced to seven years.
Judge Babington described him as Declan Gallagher's "trusted lieutenant" and said he was heavily involved in the planning and organising of the drugs shipments from Manchester to Northern Ireland.
A three-year jail sentence was handed down to 25-year old Benjamin Harding.
Raymond Hamilton, 32, Phillip Colville, 44, Ryan Radcliffe, 26, Edward Cameron, 56, Michael Rainey, 50 and Scott Sotheron, 42, were all also jailed for three years.
Three further defendants received suspended sentences.
Louise Gallagher, 46, a sister of Declan Gallagher, received a 12-month sentence suspended for three years.
Her 45-year old brother Peter Gallagher was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for 3 years.
Patrick Ward, 50, received a 12-month sentence suspended for three years.
Detective Inspector Tom McClure said this was a major PSNI success against a criminal gang involved in the drugs trade and the court had sent out a strong deterrent message.
The Paris suicide attacks claimed by IS have prompted the US to issue a worldwide travel alert to its citizens.
President Hollande is meeting other world leaders this week, hoping to forge a stronger alliance against IS.
But Turkey's downing of a Russian jet has fuelled tension over the Syria war.
Russia says a Sukhoi Su-24 warplane was shot down over Syria on Tuesday by an air-to-air missile fired by a Turkish F-16 fighter. Turkey says the Russian jet had entered its airspace.
As Turkey is a Nato member the incident has put a new strain on Russian-Western efforts to neutralise the IS threat in Syria and Iraq.
The US is unlikely to support French efforts to build a Russian-Western military alliance against IS, correspondents say. But there is some military co-ordination with Russia.
France is now sending warplanes from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, off the Syrian coast, to pound IS targets.
Russia has also stepped up air raids against anti-government rebels in Syria, since a Russian airliner was blown up over Egypt by suspected IS-linked militants last month.
But Western leaders have urged Russia to focus its raids on IS, not on other groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
French police are examining what appears to be a suicide bomb belt dumped on a Paris street following the 13 November attacks that killed 130 people.
It is said to resemble belts used by the attackers and was found in a suburb which a suspect is thought to have passed through after the attacks.
The key suspect, Salah Abdeslam, remains at large and a massive manhunt for him continues.
After the attacks he fled to Belgium, where he and some of the other jihadists were based.
The Belgian capital Brussels remains on high alert, with schools and the metro closed, on the fourth day of an unprecedented lockdown.
They are due to reopen on Wednesday, but the highest alert level will continue for at least another week.
Authorities fear attacks like those in Paris may be carried out in Brussels. Prime Minister Charles Michel warned that the threat remained "imminent".

The suspected explosives belt was found in a dustbin on Monday by Paris street cleaners in the Montrouge district, police say.
According to AFP news agency, the device lacks a detonator.
It is one of two key pieces of evidence discovered by French police and publicly linked to Salah Abdeslam. His brother Brahim blew himself up during the attacks.
A mobile phone was previously found in an abandoned car he rented. Phone data suggest that on the night of the attacks, Salah Abdeslam was in the area where the belt was later found.
Meanwhile, police swooped on a small village in south-western France, Arigat, hunting for a preacher called imam Olivier Corel, nicknamed the "White Emir", suspected of inspiring jihadists.

Belgian police have charged a fourth suspect with terrorism offences related to the Paris attacks, the federal prosecutor said.
Mohammed Amri, 27, and Hamza Attou, 20, have already been charged with aiding Salah Abdeslam. A third, unnamed suspect has also been charged.

Mr Hollande's search for allies
The company said the deals would support 400 jobs and create 150 new trainee posts.
The contracts, worth £196m, will cover refurbishment and rebuilding works, as well as faults and storm response activities.
They will also support new connections to the network.
In the coming years, Scottish Power plans to refurbish or replace about 6,800 miles (11,000km) of its overhead line network in central and southern Scotland, Merseyside and north Wales.
The announcement came as the Iberdrola-owned company reported a doubling of profits in its renewable energy division, where output has risen by 30% in the first nine months of this year.
The division made a profit before interest and tax of £221m (€301m), compared with £110m (€150m) in the same period in 2014.
It said the rise reflected increased production as well as the appreciation of sterling against the euro.
Coal-burning by Scottish Power was down by 20%, as its Longannet power station prepares for closure next year.
Scottish Power chief corporate officer Keith Anderson said the results showed that onshore and offshore wind could be "significant contributors" to the UK's generation mix.
He added: "Our record annual investment of £1.3bn remains on track and the new contracts awarded today will support our ambitious programme to deliver some of the most significant upgrades to our network in more than half a century.
"Between now and 2023 we are investing more than £4bn in total, further improving reliability for our customers and making our network more resilient to extreme winter weather.
"We also need to encourage a new generation of technicians and engineers into our industry, so it is great to see 150 new trainees coming into our industry as part of these contracts."
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Norwegian authorities have allowed flights to resume if new safety conditions are met.
A crash involving the helicopter off the coast of Norway killed 13 people, including Iain Stewart from Aberdeenshire, in April 2016.
The worker said he could not tell his family if he had to fly in one again.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "When you go on everyone tries to go to sleep, so if something happens you are not going to know about it.
"You can't tell your kids that you're flying in a 225 because they worry and the last thing you want to do is to worry them when you're away"
The Super Puma 225 and L2 type helicopters were grounded following the fatal crash off Norway last year.
Offshore firms are yet to confirm whether they would use the aircraft again.
Unite union said that it would be inappropriate to lift any ban before the root cause of the 2016 accident is known.
The union's regional organiser in Aberdeen, Tommy Campbell, said Unite is "very disappointed and very angry" that the decision has been made before questions have been answered concerning last year's crash.
The CAA said that helicopters would not begin flying immediately and that a plan of checks, modifications and inspections will be undertaken before any flights take place.
These include:
CAA head of airworthiness John McColl said: "This is not a decision we have taken lightly. It has only been made after receiving extensive information from the Norwegian accident investigators and being satisfied with the subsequent changes introduced by Airbus Helicopters through detailed assessment and analysis."
Palace were 2-0 up inside 12 minutes thanks to goals at set pieces from defenders James Tomkins and Scott Dann.
Stoke improved after the break but nearly went 3-0 down when Bojan Krkic cleared a Dann header off the line.
James McArthur's deflected strike was followed by a fine Andros Townsend goal before Marko Arnautovic scored a consolation with the game's final play.
Townsend's first goal for the Eagles came from a super low shot after he drove at the Stoke defence and cut the ball on to his right foot.

This is the third time this season that Stoke have conceded four goals.
Since goalkeeper Jack Butland suffered an ankle injury in England's friendly win over Germany in March, Stoke have failed to record a single clean sheet in the Premier League.
Worse than that, the Potters have won just one of the 12 league games the former Birmingham man has missed.
Their hopes of collecting a first Premier League win of the season on Sunday were all but over inside 15 minutes at Selhurst Park.
First Tomkins bundled in from a matter of inches out after Jonathan Walters flicked Andros Townsend's free-kick towards his own goal.
Then, just two minutes and 14 seconds later, it was 2-0 when Dann attacked Jason Puncheon's corner with real intent and headed home his second league goal of the season.
There was little veteran keeper Shay Given could do about any of the four goals but the 40-year-old has now conceded 26 times in his 10 Premier League appearances for the Potters.
A setback in his recovery means Butland could now be out until November, and if Stoke's poor run of form has not improved by then, manager Mark Hughes could find his tenure at the Britannia Stadium under increasing threat.
Townsend's excellent individual strike capped an impressive performance by the England international.
The former Tottenham man also claimed an assist and the visitors had no answers to his direct running.
A petulant challenge by Arnautovic - the Austrian barging into Townsend after he had crossed the ball - led to the Eagles' third, when Jason Puncheon's free-kick found its way to McArthur, who scored via heavy deflection off Geoff Cameron.
Townsend, wing partner Wilfried Zaha and Puncheon all enjoyed a profitable afternoon as they exploited Stoke with their quick passing and movement.
It was a tough day for all of Stoke's players after the concession of two early goals.
The shell-shocked visitors looked desperately disjointed as they tried to play their way back into the match.
New signing Wilfried Bony played as a lone front man for much of the game but received very little support from his team-mates and failed to hold the ball up when it did come his way.
The Manchester City loanee's day was summed up when he slipped after Mame Biram Diouf's low cross left him with a straightforward opportunity.
Bony was not the only Stoke forward to look off-colour, with Jonathan Walters miscuing in front of goal and Arnautovic cutting a frustrated figure throughout before scoring with a well-placed 20-yarder with the last kick of the game.
With his side looking so frail defensively, manager Hughes desperately needs his strikers to find some scoring form.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew told Sky Sports: "We looked solid, we are a powerful team and we looked like that today, and it was that power that won us the game.
"I thought Andros was sensational, he's been threatening to do that and I hope Big Sam [Allardyce, England manager] was watching because he was outstanding.
"I thought it was a solid performance, it was a shame they scored because they didn't deserve that."
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "The start didn't help our situation, it has been happening in almost every game. We're too open and teams capitalise on that. We are not giving ourselves a chance to win Premier League games.
"It's key we stay in games - at the moment we are just chasing games too much.
"This is not the start we expected, it's a case of getting together and what we are doing, the game plan needs to be at a better level. The dressing room is full of good talent, but that talent needs to ally it to sensible play, which we're not doing."
Palace face a trip to Southampton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, while Stoke also have Premier League opposition in the Cup, hosting Hull.
The Eagles are back on the road on Saturday with a visit to Sunderland and Stoke will be looking for a first three points against West Brom at the Britannia on the same day.

Gray, who succeeds Gerard Lyttle in the Solitude hotseat, took Warrenpoint from junior football to the Premiership during a decade in charge.
He said: "Cliftonville fans like good, attractive and entertaining football and I can certainly promise them that's what we'll be working on from day one."
Gray joins the north Belfast side on a rolling contract.
His backroom team will include Harry Fay and Stephen Small.
Cliftonville's search for a new manager began when Lyttle left last month to become Sligo Rovers boss.
Tommy Breslin, who stepped down as Reds manager in 2015, returned to the club in a temporary role for the last league game and the Europa League play-offs.
Cliftonville finished fifth in the Premiership and their season ended with a 5-3 home defeat by Glenavon in Tuesday's play-off semi-final.
Gray operated in the dual role of manager and Director of Football at Warrenpoint until Matthew Tipton took over as boss last November.
The Co Down club was relegated in 2016 but has made an immediate return to the Premiership by winning the Championship title last month.
"I didn't really expect to be back in management quite so quickly because I'd always have been quite pernickety and fussy about what club was right for me and ticked all the boxes," added Gray.
Cliftonville does that, no question about it. There would have been very few other jobs that I'd have been interested in so, when the opportunity arose, it's not something I had to think about.
"I like my teams to play attractive football at a high tempo and that's what I'll be setting us up to do."
He tweeted a photograph of a bulldozer and digger breaking ground for the settlement, to be known as Amichai.
It will accommodate some 40 families whose homes were cleared from the unauthorised settler outpost of Amona.
A Palestinian official denounced the ground-breaking as a "grave escalation" and an attempt to thwart peace efforts.
More than 600,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians claim for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
There are also almost 100 settler outposts - built without official authorisation from the Israeli government - across the West Bank, according to the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now.
"Today, ground works began, as I promised, for the establishment of the new community for the residents of Amona," Mr Netanyahu announced on Tuesday.
"After decades, I have the privilege to be the prime minister who is building a new community in Judea and Samaria," he added, using the biblical name for the West Bank.
Israel Radio reported that the work involved installing infrastructure for the settlement. However, the building plans still need to go through several stages of planning approval, according to the Times of Israel newspaper.
Amichai, previously known as Geulat Zion, will be constructed on an hilltop about 2.5km (1.5 miles) east of the settlement of Shilo, which is close to the site of Amona.
Amona was evacuated by police at the start of February after Israel's Supreme Court ordered that the outpost be dismantled because it was built on private Palestinian land.
While Israel has continued to expand settlements, this is the first time it has built a new one since the 1990s.
Nabil Abu Rudeina, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, told Reuters news agency that the ground-breaking was "a grave escalation and an attempt to foil efforts" by the administration of US President Donald Trump to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Mr Trump's special representative, Jason Greenblatt, and his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, are visiting the region this week to hear directly from Israeli and Palestinian leaders "about their priorities and potential next steps".
Mr Trump has said he considers settlement expansion as unhelpful for a peace deal.
"Every time you take land for a settlement, less territory remains," he told the Israel Hayom newspaper in February.
He has taken a considerably milder position towards Israeli settlements though than his predecessor, Barack Obama, who sharply criticised settlement activity.
O'Neill is among several names to have been linked with the Premier League side since Claudio Ranieri's sacking.
Caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare has strengthened his prospects after guiding the Foxes to two straight wins.
"You have to consider these things if the opportunity is presented to you," said O'Neill, 47.
"I don't think you can ever say 'no' in football but equally I'm not actively looking for another job.
"When vacancies have arisen particularly in England this year, my name has been mentioned but I actively haven't sought another job outside of the one I'm in. That won't change over the course of my contract.
"It's always nice to be linked with jobs. It's the nature of football now and the media that surrounds football."

Leicester, who won the Premier League last season, are believed to have spoken to a number of potential candidates to replace Ranieri, including former England manager Roy Hodgson.
O'Neill added that all his focus at the moment is on Northern Ireland's crucial home World Cup qualifier against Norway on 26 March.
"As a squad and as a team, we want to do the country proud and give ourselves the opportunity of going to Russia."
The Northern Ireland boss was appointed in December 2011 and has three more years on his current contract.

O'Neill's four-year deal, signed last March, included a release clause which would see the Irish FA being entitled to compensation if the Ballymena man was lured into club management.
He guided Northern Ireland to their major finals in 30 years as his side qualified for Euro 2016.
O'Neill's side qualified for the knockout stages in France before a second-round defeat by Wales and his team lie second in their World Cup qualifying group after four series of fixtures.
The consumer group found all but one of the 30 bars it analysed were high in sugar, with more than half containing over 30% sugar.
One bar, Nutri-Grain Elevenses, contained nearly four teaspoons - more than in a small can of cola and 20% of the recommended daily allowance.
Other snacks it analysed were found to be high in fat and saturated fat.
The Tracker Roasted Nut bar, for example, was almost a third fat.
Meanwhile, six of the seven cereal bars targeted at children were high in saturated fat, the study found.
And Monster Puffs, a cereal bar marketed to children and described as "great for your lunchbox", contained 43.5% sugar - more than two teaspoons.
Which? compared the nutritional content of the bars using the manufacturers' information and applied traffic light labelling to see if the levels of fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt were high, medium or low.
The Nakd Apple Pie was the only bar in the study that did not contain any added sugar, while the Alpen Light Apple and Sultana was the only one to have three green traffic lights for fat, saturated fat and salt.
Which? is calling for manufacturers to reduce sugar and fat in food products marketed to children and for tighter controls over the way they are promoted.
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "People often choose cereal bars in the belief they're healthier than chocolate or biscuits, but our research shows this can be a myth."
A spokeswoman for Kellogg's, which makes the Nutri-Grain Elevenses bar and some of the other snacks tested, said: "We're confused as to why anyone would call a Nutri-Grain Elevenses snack a cereal bar.
"If you've eaten one you know it's not. It's a baked bar and looks and eats much more like a muffin or cake.
"We bake it like a cake and market it as a mid-morning snack.
"In fact, compared to other similar mid-morning snacks, it's one of the choices that has slightly less sugar than the norm."
Joanne Mogavero, from Florida, suffered first and second degree burns when the lid popped off a cup of coffee at a Starbucks in 2014, a jury was told.
Her lawyers had argued that Starbucks should warn its customers that lids could pop off.
The jury awarded Ms Mogavero $85,000 for pain and suffering and more than $15,000 to cover medical bills.
Starbucks says it is considering an appeal.
The incident happened at a drive-through outlet in Jacksonville as she took the hot drink from an employee and prepared to pass it to her passenger.
Her lawyer, ​Steve Earle,​ said: "My client didn't want sympathy from the jury - she wanted justice - and the jury gave it to her with its verdict."
In a statement, Ms Mogavero's legal team said a Starbucks representative had testified during the court hearing in Duval County, Florida, that the company gets 80 complaints a month about problems with lids popping off or leaking.
A Starbucks spokesperson told the BBC: "As we said in trial, we stand behind our store partners in this case and maintain that they did nothing wrong."
She said she and her husband Barack Obama were "outraged and heartbroken" over the abduction on 14 April of more than 200 girls from their school.
She was speaking instead of her husband in the weekly presidential address.
The Islamist militant group Boko Haram has claimed the abductions.
In the latest incident attributed to Boko Haram, residents said the group destroyed an important bridge near the area in north-eastern Nigeria where the girls were seized.
It is the second reported bridge attack in two days, and may indicate an attempt to limit access for anyone trying to rescue the captives, correspondents say.

Abduction timeline
Mrs Obama, who was speaking ahead of Mother's Day in the US on Sunday, said the girls reminded her and her husband of their own daughters.
"What happened in Nigeria was not an isolated incident. It's a story we see every day as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue their ambitions," she said.
She cited the Pakistani schoolgirl and campaigner Malala Yousafzai, who was shot and wounded by the Taliban for speaking out for girls' education.
"The courage and hope embodied by Malala and girls like her around the world should serve as a call to action," Mrs Obama said.
It is unusual for a US first lady to make outspoken foreign policy remarks, but Mrs Obama has campaigned for the girls' release.
Michelle Obama has often appeared alongside her husband during the weekly address, but this is the first time she has delivered the speech alone.
Earlier this week, she tweeted a picture of herself in the White House holding a sign with the message "#BringBackOurGirls".
The UN Security Council expressed outrage over the abductions, saying it would consider "appropriate measures" against Boko Haram. The US is seeking to have UN sanctions imposed on the group.

US and British experts are in Nigeria to assist with rescue efforts.
A senior US official said Washington was also considering a Nigerian request for surveillance aircraft.
British High Commissioner Andrew Pocock said drones could help gather intelligence but urged caution.
He told the BBC's Today programme: "The eye in the sky, even if it were able to be focused on the spot, isn't a panacea."
Traditional hunters armed with bows and arrows and old-fashioned shotguns are ready to enter the forest where the girls are thought to be held, local officials in Borno state have told the BBC's Mark Doyle.
They say 400 to 500 men have gathered but their departure is not imminent - they still hope the army will step up its efforts.
Our correspondent says it is a sign of Nigerians' frustration with the lack of progress in the search.
Nigerian army spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade told the BBC the allegations of a lack of action were being made in order to discredit the military and there was no truth in them.
"This is not the first time we're hearing of hunters wanting to go into the forest. The military has always carefully utilised the support and understanding of locals ... and others who have vital knowledge and information that could enhance counter terrorism operations," he said.
Boko Haram has admitted capturing the girls, saying they should not have been in school and should get married instead.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language, began its insurgency in Borno state in 2009.
At least 1,200 people are estimated to have died in the violence this year alone.
The 4.1 magnitude quake happened at about 13:21 GMT and was felt in Devon, south Wales and Somerset.
The focus was north of Ilfracombe, Devon, and south of the Gower, in Wales, and was at a depth of 3.1 miles (5km).
Devon and Cornwall Police said one caller in North Devon described it as "quite a violent tremor".
The BGS said it had received reports of people feeling the quake in Dartmoor, Bristol, Taunton, Swansea, Llanelli, Exmouth, Barnstaple, Gloucester and South Molton.
Susanne Sargeant, from the BGS, said it was "not unusual" to get quakes in the channel.
"It is an area in the Bristol Channel we know to have seismological action," she said.
"One guy called and said he was in his house when he felt the earthquake - he said it was a bit of a surprise. Things were shaking on the shelves and he ran outside.
"We do see earthquakes here from time to time and the last one was at Hartland Point in 2001 - that's 50km south west of today's earthquake."

We rarely think of Britain as vulnerable to earthquakes but its geology is surprisingly volatile.
Today's quake of 4.1 is not all that unusual. According to the British Geological Survey, quakes of magnitude 4 are felt roughly every two years. Stronger tremors of magnitude 5 strike every 10-20 years.
The worst on record was one of 6.1 in the Dogger Bank area of the North Sea in 1931.
Explanations are often hard to come by. Britain's geological history has not left it with neat divisions between tectonic plates.
Instead, the underground patterns of the rocks are highly complex with numerous minor faults, many under strain as parts of the country rise slowly in the aftermath of the last Ice Age.
To put today's quake in context, it is one of nine around the world in the last 24 hours to reach a magnitude greater than 4, a reminder that for many regions earthquakes are a dangerous threat not a curious surprise.
Colin Taylor, who is a professor of earthquake engineering at the University of Bristol, said an event with a magnitude of 4.1 should not cause any significant damage.
"Humans are very sensitive to movement and although it might feel quite noticeable the worse you're likely to get is perhaps cracks in plaster or old masonry," he said.
"These so-called shallow events happen every now and again in the UK and is typically caused by a local fault - under stress - which moves from time to time.
"It is an intra-plate event rather than the inter-plate movement you'd see on something like the San Andreas fault in California."
Rachel Howells, 36, from West Cross in Swansea, said she was sat at her desk working when the building "shook like jelly" and it felt like something had "slammed into the side of the house".
"We are having an extension built on the side of the house and I just thought something had gone wrong with the building work.
"It didn't shake for long, it was more like a hiccup, just this big wobble.
"It didn't make any noise, it was like a shock, just the whole house reverberating, like a van going into the side of the house or something.
"It lasted about two seconds, so it was hardly anything really."
Reports on Twitter talked of one building in Bridgwater "swaying" during the quake while others said it was felt as far away as Taunton.
Ruth O'Malley, in Swansea, tweeted that there was a "definite rumble" from the quake and Ilfracombe Museum tweeted "the ground definitely shook just now".
Mid Wales Fire Service said it had received several calls while Avon and Somerset Police said it had not had any calls about the earthquake. | If ever sport needed its most illustrious event to provide some inspiration, escapism and relief from its various troubles, it is now.

Lawyers for a trust which owns the rights to Cornell Woolrich's story, had claimed film company DreamWorks did not get permission to turn it into a film.
In both plots, a man spies on a neighbour from his window and becomes convinced they have committed murder.
But a New York District Court judge said the similarities were not enough to constitute copyright infringement.
"The main plots are similar only at a high, unprotectible level of generality," judge Laura Taylor Swan wrote in her ruling dismissing the complaint.
"Where Disturbia is rife with sub-plots, the short story has none.
"The setting and mood of the short story are static and tense, whereas the setting and mood of Disturbia are more dynamic and peppered with humour and teen romance," she added.
Disturbia made $117 million (£74.6m) at the box office worldwide in 2007.
Alfred Hitchcock made an Oscar-nominated 1954 version of the story which was filmed with permission.
A TV version was also made in 1998 starring Daryl Hannah and the late Christopher Reeve.
A lorry became wedged under the railway bridge over the A5 in Hinckley, Leicestershire, in the latest incident on Thursday.
The bridge is one of the worst nationally for so-called "bridge strikes", according to Network Rail.
The group recorded 1,606 of these strikes in the 2015/16 financial year.
A spokesperson said: "We can't stress enough how important it is that vehicle owners know the height and width of their vehicle and pay close attention to warning signs at bridges.
"If you're not sure whether or not your vehicle will fit, you should look for an alternative route rather than taking a risk."
The warning comes as the Local Government Association (LGA) called for legislation to be brought in to make sure lorry drivers in England and Wales use a GPS system suitable for HGVs.
1. A205 St Mildreds Road, Hither Green, London - struck 26 times
2. A205 Thurlow Park Road, Tulse Hill, London - struck 22 times

Amanda Sokhi, who owns a business near the bridge in Hinckley, said the situation was "completely ridiculous".
"I know they've got signs saying there's a low bridge but lorry drivers aren't seeing it, they are just carrying on," she said.
Her husband, Raj Sokhi, fears someone may be killed there soon.
"A lorry driver hit the bridge and he actually came through the cab. That was quite messy," he said.
"One was on a Saturday and the whole road was shut all day, and then 10 minutes after the road opened at 10 o'clock another lorry hit the bridge again."
Network Rail said there had been more than 150 bridge strikes in Leicestershire alone over the last five years.
These caused rail passengers more than 12,000 minutes of delays and cost the taxpayer-funded organisation more than £800,000 in compensation.
Edinburgh Pentlands MSP Gordon MacDonald said Kausar Uddin, from Broomhouse, had tripped and grabbed hold of the nearest person for balance.
He told MSPs the person Mr Uddin grabbed turned out to be a police officer, which led to him being imprisoned for assault.
Mr Uddin was being accompanied by his wife and three children at the time.
They had travelled to Mecca last month with other pilgrims from the city's Blackhall Mosque.
Speaking during First Minister's Questions, Mr MacDonald said: "During the final prayer of the day there was a surge in the crowd and Mr Uddin grabbed hold of the nearest person for balance.
"Unfortunately, that person turned out to be a police officer and he was arrested for assault. Mr Uddin was sentenced to 35 days in prison and there is concern that he may be subject to another trial which could result in a far longer sentence.
"Given that people who are on holy pilgrimage with their family do not travel with the intention to assault anyone, I ask if there is any way that the first minister can intervene to assist my constituent."
Ms Sturgeon said: "I am very concerned to hear about Mr Uddin's situation. Very large numbers of my own constituents go on pilgrimage to Mecca every single year so I understand the concerns that have been raised by this case.
"My officials have already been in contact with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and they have advised that the British Embassy are now in touch with Mr Uddin by phone and they have requested a prison visit via the ministry of foreign affairs.
"They have also advised us that, at this stage, they have not had Mr Uddin's sentence confirmed as the case appears to be still under investigation.
"We have asked to be kept updated and informed of any progress."
Patients were moved out of two wards at Louth's County Hospital last month over fire inspectors' concerns about the "ageing fabric of the building".
The work, which includes upgrades to alarms and fire doors, is expected to take up to three months to complete.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust said 25 patients had moved and may not be returning to finish their treatment at the hospital.
Craig McLean, deputy director of operations at the trust, said: "It may well be that the decision is taken that it's appropriate for them to finish their treatment where they are rather than disrupting them again and bringing them back."
More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire
The number of beds was reduced from 50 to 16 across Manby and Carlton wards. The trust said there would be "a phased reopening of beds until the two wards return to their original capacity" when the work was completed.
It had said the move was "a precautionary measure" and not in response to the Grenfell Tower fire in west London.
Patients have been transferred to other hospitals or care providers. Those who were due to be discharged were sent home with planned packages of care, a spokesperson for the trust said.
NHS Property Services, which owns the hospital, said the upgrade works also included improving fire exit signs, lighting and changes to escape routes and walls.
Bob Berry, 60, from Stockport was one of only three to take part in the trial at Manchester's Christie Hospital.
Andrew Hughes, who ran the trial, said a combination of two drugs were used to first attack the cancer and then help boost the body's immune system.
"Lucky is an understatement - I was in the right place at the right time," said Mr Berry. "I feel great now."
Three years ago, after spotting the cancer during an unrelated X-ray, doctors only gave him 12-18 months to live.
"It was really hard - a real shock to my family and friends," said Mr Berry of his original prognosis.
After two rounds of chemotherapy and one of radiotherapy, he was referred for the trial at the specialist cancer hospital.
He received two new drugs which have not yet been named.
"As of his last scan, we're not able to detect any lung cancer at all," said Prof Hughes, chair in experimental cancer medicine at The Christie.
"It is a remarkable response - actually only about one in five people with immuno-therapies get the response akin to Bob's."
While the other two patients in the hospital's trial have responded to the treatment, they have not done so to the extent that Mr Berry has.
Mr Hughes acknowledged his good fortune: "You think 'that's it, you don't stand a chance', but drugs have come on so much these last few years, it's unbelievable - hence why I'm still here now."
Prof Hughes said many cancers grow "simply because the immune system fails to pick them up as foreign material" - they hide behind an "invisibility cloak".
"The first drug damages the very essence of the cancer's life - its DNA - and as the cancer is dying we hit it with a second drug that takes the 'invisibility cloak' away from the cancer so that the immune system can recognise it," he added.
He said very few people get on to this kind of trial, with only about three in every 10 people referred to The Christie by their GP actually taking part.
Only 12 people have taken part in the trial globally.
The Christie is currently running about 600 cancer trials, of which 50 are "first in human" experiments.
"Every cancer drug begins with a 'Bob' story," said Prof Hughes, "and then a larger trial is done".
It typically takes "three to seven years" to bring successful "first in human" trials into widespread use, he added.
The other two patients in the hospital's trial have responded to the treatment, but not to the degree Mr Berry has.
Cosgrove ended unbeaten on 81, having earlier retired on 77 when he was hit on the hand with the score at 142-4.

Led by Prof Graham Donaldson of Glasgow University, it will be "comprehensive, wide ranging and independent", Huw Lewis said.
In January, school inspectors raised concerns about the "variable" quality of teaching and standards generally, especially in secondary schools.
The review will consider education from the age of three right through to 16.
Mr Lewis said Prof Donaldson had been "instrumental" in a curriculum reform programme for the Scottish government and had recently reviewed teacher education in Scotland.
Mr Donaldson, he said, had been asked to "articulate a clear, coherent vision for education in Wales".
Schools inspectorate Estyn's annual report said: "Fewer than half of secondary schools are good or better [compared to the previous year] and the proportion that is unsatisfactory has increased from one in seven to one in four.
"One in seven is excellent. Over two-thirds of secondary schools will be monitored in 'follow-up' visits."
Responding to AMs' questions on the report in January, First Minister Carwyn Jones said the Welsh government was now offering education a "clear way forward", but conceded that there had been a "blurring of the lines of accountability, in terms of leadership in schools [and] in terms of leadership in local education authorities" previously.
On Wednesday, Mr Lewis said: "Here in Wales we have already put in train important changes with the introduction of the Literacy and Numeracy Framework and our tests.
"Building on this, I recently consulted on proposals aimed at strengthening and supporting the teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy in schools - as well as setting out my intention to introduce a wider skills framework that will ensure alignment with, and progression towards the new Welsh Baccalaureate.
"I will be publishing my response to that consultation shortly."
"In agreeing to undertake this review, Professor Donaldson brings with him a wealth of experience, knowledge and skill, as well as a personal commitment to continuous improvement and attainment of the highest standards."
The minister added that Prof Donaldson would be "at the forefront of a truly transformational programme of work and a historic step forward in Welsh education history."
The NASUWT teaching union called for "genuine engagement" with teachers and "recognition of the challenging context in which teachers and schools in Wales are operating".
General Secretary Chris Keates said issues such as the lower spending per pupil in Wales compared to England should be considered.
"The funding gap, the excessive workload of teachers and the absence of an entitlement for teachers to professional development are all material factors in this review," she said.
"The NASUWT looks forward to the opportunity to engage with Professor Donaldson as he takes forward this important work."
Plaid Cymru education spokesman Simon Thomas welcomed Prof Donaldson's appointment, but said it was "absurd that we have not yet managed to establish a national Welsh curriculum since devolution, almost fifteen years".
"Teachers tell us that the current situation where we have a 'national' curriculum running alongside a 'Welsh' curriculum is overloading their workload and I'm glad that the matter is being addressed," he said.
"We need to make space in our curriculum to allow teachers to get on with the job of teaching.
"We want to allow them to be innovative and creative, to keep learners motivated and engaged.
"The Welsh government's work thus far has been piecemeal, and teachers desperately need a sense of overall direction."
Liberal Democrats education spokesman Aled Roberts also welcomed the review but called for "a period of stability" once it was completed.
"Once we've set off on this course and we've got a clear way forward as far as both the curriculum and assessment is concerned, it's important they are allowed to bed down so that we can ensure that the profession's minds are applied to improving attainment rather than, perhaps, continually being taken off course by review upon review," he said.
Mr Lewis is due to receive Prof Donaldson's report later this year.

Ford has posted a profit for nearly five consecutive years under his leadership, and it was the only one of the big three US carmakers that did not have to seek a bailout from the US government during the recession.
Mr Fields was named chief operating officer in December 2012.

The challenge for Mark Fields is how to continue to build on Mr Mulally's formidable legacy and Ford's current success.
And they are big shoes to fill.
But executive chairman Bill Ford told me Mr Fields "is up for it".
Mr Fields oversaw the company's international operations, having worked in Japan, Europe and Argentina. He also ran the company's North American operations during a difficult time - experience that will come in handy running a global carmaker.
One of his first challenges involves Ford's F series truck.
The bestselling vehicle in the US is a major profit-maker for Ford. It's getting a dramatic makeover with a body built almost entirely out of aluminium.
But, now that he's behind the wheel, few expect Mr Fields to make any major changes to the 'One Ford' strategy, especially as it's working. The bigger question perhaps is how he will handle his first crisis, when it happens.
Executive chairman Bill Ford told the BBC that Mr Mulally is a "hall of fame" chief executive.
"There are very few people that brought his skill set, his humility, and his humanity to the job," said Mr Ford.
Mr Mulally originally trained as an aeronautical engineer, and spent 36 years at Boeing, before he was approached by Bill Ford in 2006.
Mr Ford said he still remembered meeting Mr Mulally eight years ago.
"It was a fabulous first day - I look back at it now and realise we were finishing each other's sentences within an hour," he said, adding that Mr Mulally should be credited with changing Ford's culture to focus more on transparency and "dealing with reality".
However, he added that Mr Fields was more than up for the task of leading Ford.
Mr Fields, who was passed over for the job in 2006 when Mr Mulally was appointed chief executive, joined the company as a market research analyst in 1989.
In 2000, he was made chief executive of Mazda - in which Ford owned a stake at the time - and was later head of Ford's European division.
However, Mr Ford emphasized that it was as the head of Ford's North American division that Mr Fields really proved his mettle.
"He took on the hardest job at the company," said Mr Ford, noting that as a young leader there were some who thought he would not be up for the task.
However, "he emerged as a leader and gained the trust of his team".
Ford has planned the leadership succession for a number of years, Mr Mulally said, and he brought forward his retirement as "everything is in place" for a "very orderly" transition.
"We are absolutely fully confident we are absolutely ready," he said in a conference call announcing the transition.
Mr Mulally will not retain a place on the board after retirement.
Analysts say that one can expect "more of the same" with Mr Fields in charge.
"Ford has had a renaissance under [Mr] Mulally, but [Mr] Fields has been there the entire time and has been his partner in this vision," Edmunds.com senior analyst Jessica Caldwell told the BBC.
"Ford knew [Mr] Mulally was not going to stay on forever - by partnering him up with someone who was already in the organisation, and someone they thought could be a leader, that the best thing they could do," she said.
"I can't imagine a better scenario."
National League leaders Lincoln are the first non-league team since 1914 to make the last eight of the competition.
They come up against a Gunners side in disarray - they have lost five of their past seven games, including two 5-1 defeats by Bayern Munich, and seen protests against manager Arsene Wenger.
"He is under pressure," said Waterfall.
The Gunners suffered a humiliating 10-2 aggregate loss against Bayern in the Champions League and since the end of January, have also been defeated by Liverpool, Chelsea and Watford.
Against the Bundesliga side, home supporters held banners before and during the game calling for Wenger - who has been in charge since October 1996 - to leave the club.
On Thursday, the Frenchman said the opinion of fans will influence his decision over whether to remain in charge next season.
Waterfall added: "Some Arsenal fans might be going there wanting us to win. If we start well, we might have 60,000 people behind us, not just 9,000.
"We will go there believing in ourselves. We won't park the bus, we will play our usual game.
"We want their big players to play. Their manager is under pressure so I would expect their big names to play."
Republicans said Mrs Clinton received special treatment and compromised national security.
However, Mr Comey testified that she did not break the law or mislead investigators.
Mrs Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, used private email servers while secretary of state.
She said she used the email servers for convenience and said she did not send or receive classified information.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said Mr Comey's recommendation proves Mrs Clinton is "living above the law" and questioned whether she should be briefed on classified information as a presidential candidate.
Mr Comey said he and the FBI investigated the case in a "professional and apolitical way".
"No reasonable prosecutor would bring this case," FBI Director James Comey said of his recommendation that Hillary Clinton not charged for her use of a private email server. "I know that frustrates people."
It certainly had Republicans up in arms, expressing incredulity at Comey's assertions that Mrs Clinton set up her server for "convenience" and that she did not instruct her lawyers to permanently delete all her emails they deemed personal.
Perhaps the biggest news, however, came when committee chairman Jason Chaffetz said he would instruct the FBI to investigate whether Mrs Clinton lied when she told Congress under oath that she did not email classified information. Mr Comey said that this was a matter previously outside his purvey.
On Tuesday we learned the number of Clinton emails bearing classified markings - three - and that the markings were the letter "c" in parenthesis in front of paragraphs that contained classified details.
Mr Comey said, however, that Mrs Clinton may not have known this denoted the presence of classified information.
It was another chance for Republicans to express shock and outrage. And given that the FBI could be back in the Clinton-investigating business, it likely won't be the last.
The FBI found more than 100 pieces of classified information on the servers.
Mr Comey said Clinton and her staff were "reckless" but no "reasonable prosecutor" would bring forth criminal charges in the case.
"If your name isn't Clinton, or you're not part of the powerful elite, then Lady Justice will act differently,'' Republican Representative from Utah Jason Chaffetz said.
He said the FBI set a "dangerous precedent" in recommending not charging Mrs Clinton.
Mr Comey said the "c" markings were in the body of the emails and not at the top where they would have been more visible.
Democratic members of the committee holding the hearing said Republicans were using it as way to hurt Mrs Clinton politically.
"This should be called out for what it is, another blatant political stunt by Republicans to try and keep the issue alive after career DOJ officials declared the case closed because they didn't get the outcome they wanted," a Clinton campaign official said in a statement.
A House of Lords committee was told the devices were also being flown in protected airspace and that officers found it difficult to identify the people responsible.
The warning came from Ch Insp Nick Aldworth, of the Metropolitan Police, who is part of a nationwide group tasked with looking at the issue.
Civilian use of the aircraft, which can be legally flown, is increasing.
Drones, which are officially known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, range in size from small craft operated by enthusiasts, TV companies, police forces and surveyors and weighing a few kilograms, to larger military versions.
Smaller ones can be flown without special permission although restrictions apply if they are used in congested areas or near people's homes.
The Lords Internal Market, Infrastructure and Employment Committee has been holding an inquiry into their use by civilians.
Ch Insp Aldworth said the devices, which he described as "things that fly and do not have pilots in them", could be used in a "reckless" or "malicious" way.
Baroness O'Cathain, the committee chairwoman, said a number of concerns about privacy had been raised, but Ch Insp Aldworth said this was not a police matter as there was no criminal privacy law.
However, he said other legislation could be used, for example laws banning voyeurism, in the event of drones with cameras "hovering outside people's bedrooms for whatever nefarious reasons".
Footage posted posted on the internet was the most common way of drone use coming to light, he said, and the peers were told of the difficulties of finding the people responsible.
If a drone "whizzes past your window and catches something that you would rather it didn't catch", he said, it was difficult to catch the person flying it unless the police arrived immediately.
Ch Insp Aldworth said his group's task was to find a "sensible application" of existing laws to control the use of the drones.
He said there was no doubt drones had been used in London and around the UK, pointing to footage posted of football stadiums which he said was a contravention of air navigation rules as well as being a potential safety risk if a device fell from the sky.
"We also know it has been used to embarrass people - either VIPs or members of the public," he said.
Ch Insp Aldworth said a drone had been flown as a protest in front of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and that he expected "copycat behaviour" in the UK.
He added: "The concerns are really around the fact that we are seeing this technology being used for criminal conduct.
"We have undoubtedly seen it flown in controlled airspace, we have undoubtedly seen it used to harass people, and we have seen it flown in contravention of the air navigation orders, so I think that concern arises by the fact that there is clearly a means of offending that we do not seem to be able necessarily to address quickly."
With Christmas approaching, and prices expected to drop, use of the drones could increase, he added.
Last month, pilots' association Balpa told the committee remote aircraft the same size as small passenger planes could be operated commercially in the UK within 10 years, and called for strict controls over their use.
The 32-year-old right winger arrives after a season in the Asia League with Japanese club Tohoku Free Blades, where he was the competition's top scorer.
Pope has also played in the American Hockey League, Denmark and Italy.
"Pope is a power forward and wins battles all over the ice," said Devils player-coach Andrew Lord.
"He can score, make plays or grind it out in the corners. I see him as a real complete player.
"He led the league he was playing in last season in scoring and has been a top scorer wherever he goes. I expect him to bring that offensive ability to the Elite League this season."
Pope will also be studying at Cardiff Met's School of Management while playing for the Devils.
After four pre-season games, the club's first competitive game of the season will be their Champions League tie away to Swiss team HC Davos on 24 August.
They will also face Bili Tygri Liberec of the Czech Republic and Sweden's Vaxjo Lakers in Group E.
Michael Rankine gave the hosts the lead straight from a long-range free-kick before the break but Dover came back.
Nicky Deverdics and Chris Kinnear worked together to set up Ricky Miller to tap in their first from close range.
Dover wrapped up the win when Stefan Payne took the ball and fired in from an acute angle.
Altrincham slip to 22nd following the defeat and are now three points from safety while play-off chasing Dover remain fourth and have a six-point cushion on sixth-placed Braintree.
Jane Khalaf, 19, from Huddersfield, reportedly died on 20 November, eight days after being put on life-support at St Marien Hospital in Cologne.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Barry Sheerman, the Labour MP for Huddersfield, criticised German police for not investigating her death.
Ms Khalaf was on an exchange trip from Northumbria University.
It is thought she was put on a life-support machine after collapsing at the hospital during the annual carnival festivities in the west German city.
Mr Sheerman said there had been no help for Ms Khalaf's family from the German authorities.
He called for help from the Foreign Office during Foreign Office Questions in the House of Commons.
"A young girl in my constituency has been tragically murdered in Cologne," the MP said.
"There is no police investigation although there is every evidence that her drink was spiked - she was poisoned."
John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, said the Foreign Office was now aware of Mr Sheerman's concerns.
In a statement, Northumbria University said its representatives had met with the family to offer support.
"We can confirm that one of our students has tragically passed away while studying at a partner university in Germany.
"We are in contact with the authorities in Germany and the UK, and stand ready to assist further where we can."
Cologne police are yet to respond to a BBC request for a comment.
Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud missed the game in Shanghai, which Arsenal won 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
New signing Sead Kolasinac, Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott played but struggled with illness.
"The doctor thinks it is food poisoning. I don't know what they may have eaten," said boss Arsene Wenger.
"We have a little virus in the camp."
Robert Lewandowski put Bayern ahead after eight minutes, before Alex Iwobi scored a 93rd-minute equaliser.
The game was played in temperatures of 36C and Wenger said the conditions had been "a bit of a shock", after arriving from Australia where it was "freezing".
Elsewhere, Leicester beat West Brom 7-6 on penalties in the Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong after the game finished 1-1 in normal time.
Jay Rodriguez, who joined West Brom from Southampton for £12m, marked his Baggies debut with a stunning strike in the ninth minute, before Riyad Mahrez equalised.
Leicester will play Liverpool in the final on Saturday, after Jurgen Klopp's side beat Crystal Palace 2-0, with new signing Dominic Solanke and Belgian forward Divock Origi scoring.
He was speaking to at least a crowd of at least a million who had gathered in Turkey's biggest city.
The rally followed last month's failed military coup.
Mr Erdogan also said the state would be cleansed of all supporters of the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen.
The cleric is blamed by the Turkish government for the attempted uprising. He denies any involvement.
Religious figures and leaders of two of Turkey's three opposition parties attended the rally. The Kurdish party was not invited.
More than 270 people died in events surrounding the 15 July coup attempt, which triggered a government crackdown.
Thousands of alleged supporters of Mr Gulen have been detained or dismissed from government jobs.
Western nations have been critical of the government's response to the coup. The European Union - which Turkey has applied to join - refuses to accept capital punishment in member states.
The parade ground, built to hold more than a million people, was overflowing, with streets of surrounding neighbourhoods clogged by crowds, Reuters news agency reports.
Turkish government sources said five million people had attended, with the event broadcast live on public screens at smaller rallies across Turkey's provinces.
Mr Erdogan told the rally: "It is the Turkish parliament that will decide on the death penalty... I declare it in advance, I will approve the decision made by the parliament.
"They say there is no death penalty in the EU... Well, the US has it; Japan has it; China has it; most of the world has it. So they are allowed to have it. We used to have it until 1984. Sovereignty belongs to the people, so if the people make this decision I am sure the political parties will comply."
The president railed against Mr Gulen's movement, hinting of further hardline measures to come.
"July 15 showed our friends that this country isn't just strong against political, economic and diplomatic attacks, but against military sabotage as well. It showed that it will not fall, it will not be derailed," Mr Erdogan said.
"Of course we have to uncover all members of this organisation and eradicate them within the framework of the law, but if we content ourselves with just that, then we as a state and a nation will leave weak our defence against similar viruses."
The "Democracy and Martyrs' Rally" was the climax of three weeks of nightly demonstrations by Mr Erdogan's supporters around the country.
Speaking ahead of Mr Erdogan, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told the rally that Mr Gulen would be brought to Turkey and made to pay the price for the coup attempt.
"Let all of you know, the leader of this terrorist group will come to Turkey and pay for what he did," Mr Yildirim said.
In a rare address to a public rally, the head of Turkey's armed forces, Hulusi Akar, said "traitors" would be punished in the harshest way, and thanked civilians for their role in defeating the uprising.
The crackdown in Turkey has seen tens of thousands of public sector workers suspended or dismissed, with many having their passports cancelled. There has also been a massive reshuffle of the military.
About 18,000 people have been detained or arrested.
Local branches of the AK Party have been told to begin a purge of suspected Gulenists in their ranks.
Mr Gulen was a close ally of President Erdogan until a bitter split between his movement and the party of the president three years ago.
Turkey has listed Mr Gulen's movement as a terrorist organisation.
McCombe appeared 61 times in a two-year spell with the Minstermen prior to leaving the club last month.
The 30-year-old was a member of the York side that reached the League Two play-off semi-finals in 2013-14.
Starting his career with Huddersfield Town, he also played for Port Vale and Hereford and won promotion from League Two with both sides.
The study said relative poverty had fallen over the past decade.
But it said a greater proportion of those struggling to get by were now facing either severe or extreme poverty.
People are classed as being in severe poverty if their household income is less than 50% of the UK average.
The report was based on data from 2012-13, when anyone whose household income was below £11,500 would have been classed as living in severe poverty.
Extreme poverty is defined as being 40% or less of the UK median annual household income - or less than £9,200 in 2012-13.
A total of 510,000 individuals - or 10% of the population - were living in severe poverty in 2012-13, the report said.
This included 330,000 working-age adults, 100,000 children and 80,000 pensioners.
But when housing costs were factored in, the number facing severe poverty increased to 710,000.
This included 500,000 who were in extreme poverty after paying their rent or mortgage. A total of 370,000 working-age adults, 90,000 children and 40,000 pensioners were all affected by this.
The report said that the problem of poverty had "deepened in recent years", saying while relative poverty had fallen over the decade from 2002-03, "a greater proportion of households in poverty are now in severe or extreme low income".
It added: "Those in poverty in 2012-13 are more likely to be in extreme low income than in 2002-03.
"This is especially the case after housing costs: in 2012-13, 50% of all people in poverty lived in extreme low income after housing costs, compared with 36% in 2002-03."
Changes in employment were one reason given for the rise in severe and extreme poverty, with the report stating: "There have been decreases in real earned income, a rise in insecure employment (including zero hour contracts) and increases in the numbers in low pay.
"The combination of these factors is likely to increase the numbers living in severe and extreme poverty, and reduce the chances of those in low-paid work to lift their families out of poverty."
Inflation has seen costs rise faster then wages, with this "adding to the pressures being experienced by low-income families".
The research also said that "welfare reform is another key factor", adding: "For low-income working families reliant on benefits and tax credits, cuts combined with changes in eligibility have seen household income decrease in 2012-13."
The report concluded: "In short, poverty is changing; work is no longer a guarantee of a life free of poverty; people in poverty face increasing costs; and those in receipt of benefits and tax credits - which of course includes many in work - are finding their incomes squeezed."
Scottish Social Justice Secretary Alex Neil said it was a "disgrace" that so many people were affected, and claimed it was an "unfortunate and inevitable result of the UK government's failed austerity agenda and welfare cuts that are slashing incomes for some of our poorest households".
Mr Neil added: "With employment increasing and unemployment down, Scotland is outperforming the rest of the UK, yet the statistics show that a job is no longer any guarantee against severe or extreme poverty.
"That's why we opposed cutting in-work tax credits and why the Scottish government and its agencies are paying the living wage, encouraging other employers to follow suit."
A UK government spokesman said there was "no simple solution" to alleviating poverty.
"We are supporting the living standards of poor families by freezing fuel duty, increasing personal tax allowance and cutting income tax for those on the minimum wage by almost two-thirds," he added.
"In addition, the Scottish government has substantial powers at their disposal on areas such as childcare, education, health and housing - all essential for helping those most in need.
"We need to bring all of that together in a joined-up approach across all areas of government in Scotland."
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy has announced a commission to address the problem of low pay in Scotland.
Mr Murphy said the commission would report later this year on how the party's vision of eradicating low wages could be achieved.
It will by led by MSPs Jackie Baillie and Neil Findlay and include representatives from Poverty Alliance Scotland, RBS, the Federation of Small Businesses, shop workers' union Usdaw and Barnardo's.
The announcement was made in advance of a Labour summit in Glasgow this week on the living wage, which will bring together trade unions, business leaders and anti-poverty groups and inform the commission's work.
Mr Murphy said: "I'm making it my mission to abolish low pay in Scotland.
"Too many Scots families are just a rainy day away from real financial trouble. More than one in four Scots get paid less than the living wage. This isn't right, and we need to fix it fast."
Several Africans moved to China prior to its transfer window closing this week, including Super Eagles John Mikel Obi, Odion Ighalo and Brown Ideye.
"We play football because we want to make a living," said Amokachi.
"We don't have that platform whereby everything has already been set for us from the day we were born - like Europeans. We don't live on welfare."
The Chinese Super League kicked off on Friday with veteran Zambian James Chamanga scoring the first goal of the season as his Liaoning Whowin drew 1-1 with newly-promoted Guizhou Zhicheng.
A former assistant coach of Nigeria who now manages JS Hercules in Finland, the onetime Everton forward said this lack of financial support explained the wave of Africans and South Americans moving to China.
While some have questioned the ambition of footballers who have quit the top leagues of Europe for the vast wealth of China, Amokachi begs to differ.
He points to Mikel who has yet to turn 30 but who won the European Champions League, two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Europa League during his decade-long spell with Chelsea.
The midfielder joined Tianjin Teda in January after failing to feature for the Blues this season.
"Mikel played for a top team in Europe and won practically everything that he needs to win as a footballer," Amokachi told BBC Sport.
"What's left for him is to make a lot of zeros to secure his future and that of his kids and family back home."
Like Mikel, the 28-year-old Ideye has signed for Tianjin Teda who finished 11th in last season's Super League.
Ighalo, meanwhile, was sold for £20m by Premier League side Watford to Changchun Yatai.
Amokachi's former international team-mate Sunday Oliseh fully agrees that the players are entitled to chase riches above glory.
"If a man leaves his country and goes abroad, firstly he wants to work - because football is his job," the former Nigeria coach told BBC Sport.
"Secondly, he goes to the country where he gets better remuneration for the services he is giving - so it's going to be good and the way the Chinese are really putting attention on football now, it can only be good."
Amokachi, who went by the nickname 'The Bull', said selectors should not be put off choosing Nigerians in China for the national team.
"Don't forget that the Chinese are very physical when it comes to training," he explained.
"I think the players will be fit but match fitness is a different ball game. That's why it's important for a manager to look at players who have that 90 minutes week in week out."
This week, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr left Mikel, Ighalo and Brown out of the squad for this month's friendlies against Senegal and Burkina Faso.
This was to allow the trio time to settle in China, while also giving an opportunity to younger players to have their chance.
Other Africans to have moved to China in recent times include Senegal's Demba Ba, Ivorian Gervinho and Cameroon's Stephane Mbia.
European scientists have turned on the first part of a web-based database of information to help them cope.
Called Rapyuta, the online "brain" describes objects robots have met and can also carry out complicated computation on behalf of a robot.
Rapyuta's creators hope it will make robots cheaper as they will not need all their processing power on-board.
The Rapyuta database is part of the European Robo Earth project that began in 2011 with the hope of standardising the way robots perceive the human world.
Instead of every robot building up its own idiosyncratic catalogue of how to deal with the objects and situations it encounters, Rapyuta would be the place they ask for help when confronted with a novel situation, place or thing.
In addition, the web-based service is able to do complicated computation on behalf of a robot - for example if it needs to work out how to navigate a room, fold an item of clothing or understand human speech.
The system could be particularly useful for drones, self-driving cars or other mobile robots who have to do a lot of number crunching just to get round, said Mohanarajah Gajamohan, technical head of the project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
"On-board computation reduces mobility and increases cost." said Dr Heico Sandee, Robo Earth program manager at the Dutch University of Technology in Eindhoven in a statement. As wireless data speeds increase more and more robotic thinking could be offloaded to the web, he said.
Without access to such a database, roboticists fear machines will be restricted to working in very tightly controlled environments such as production lines and never live easily alongside humans.
The project, which involves researchers at five separate European research labs, has produced the database as well as software that robots can run to connect to and quiz Rapyuta.
The name Rapyuta is taken from the Japanese film by Hayao Miyazaki Castle in the Sky - in the film it is the place where all the robots live.
The team had been in a long-running dispute with governing body USA Hockey over equal pay and support.
The two sides have reached an agreement but are keeping the terms private.
"We stood up for what we thought was right and USA Hockey's leadership listened," said women's team captain Meghan Duggan.
As well as a pay deal, the new agreement will see more marketing, promotion and fundraising for the women's team and extra support at grassroots level, USA Hockey said.
Many players had complained during the 14-month dispute that they were paid only $1,000 (£800) a month during a six-month Olympic period and nothing for the remaining three-and-a half years.
They also cited the extra support structure in place in the men's game.
The US women - who are world champions - will now look to defend their title on home ice, starting with a game against Canada on Friday, 31 March.
The Advertising Standards Authority says current descriptions of speeds "up to" a certain amount are confusing and will be changed in 2017.
However, the UK watchdog has yet to decide how they will be replaced.
Digital Minister Matt Hancock said he was "delighted" by the move because the current adverts were "incredibly misleading".
The announcement comes just over a fortnight after internet providers were ordered to make other changes to their adverts, to make monthly charges clearer.
The industry gave a guarded welcome to the latest announcement.
"Any new guidance needs to reflect that whilst speed is an important factor, it is not the only reason a customer decides on a deal," said James Blessing, chair of the Internet Services Providers' Association Council.
"Crucially, the ASA's research has not identified an effective alternative for the current approach to 'up to' speed claims."
At present, a broadband company can tell customers they will get "up to" a certain speed, if a minimum of 10% of all subscribers on the tariff achieve it.
But the ASA says a survey carried out on its behalf indicated that while most consumers understood a higher number was better, they were still unclear what speed they would likely achieve.
Moreover, the watchdog says users demonstrated a low level of understanding of what speeds they needed to carry out daily online tasks.
"Clearly the current guidance isn't doing the job, but there's no silver-bullet solution," a spokesman for the ASA told the BBC.
"There are pros and cons to all the alternatives."
The three main options considered to date are to give:
The plan is now to hold a short consultation before deciding upon a solution in the spring.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling applies to all EU member states.
Even after six months' residence in an EU state a migrant may still be refused any social assistance, the ECJ ruled.
The judgement concerned a Bosnian-born Swedish national - Nazifa Alimanovic - who had claimed subsistence allowances after losing her job in Germany.
The UK Conservatives say the ruling strengthens Prime Minister David Cameron's hand in his push for major EU reforms.
Changes to EU policy on migrant benefits are a key part of his renegotiation, ahead of a UK in/out referendum on EU membership, set to take place by the end of 2017.
In 2012 a job centre in Berlin stopped paying social security to Ms Alimanovic. She and her daughter Sonita had been receiving unemployment benefits since December 2011. Child support had also been paid for two more children - Valentina and Valentino.
Denying certain non-contributory benefits - also called "social assistance" - to EU jobseekers from another EU country "does not contravene the principle of equal treatment", the ECJ said.
An ECJ ruling in November 2014 found that Germany also had a right to refuse benefits to EU migrants who had no intention of finding work in Germany, in the Dano case.
Ms Alimanovic's three children were born in Germany. The family had returned there from Sweden in 2010. Ms Alimanovic and her elder daughter had worked for less than a year before claiming benefits.
The Conservatives' employment spokesperson in Europe, Anthea McIntyre, called the ruling "a major endorsement of our stance on benefit tourism and our views on free movement.
"Increasingly the rest of Europe is seeing things our way. It bodes well for one of our key areas of renegotiation."
A UK government spokesperson said the ruling "shows we are right to restrict benefits going to EU nationals who haven't paid into the system in the UK.
"It is also further supports our argument that individual member states should have the freedom to design their own welfare systems without being constantly challenged by the courts."
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) - with 24 MEPs the largest British contingent in the European Parliament - said "abuse of the welfare system by non-nationals is also clearly becoming an issue in Germany".
"The [UK] government needs to examine this judgment closely, and if need be, look to alter the rules on habitual residence, which give EU migrants open access to many UK benefits, even though some of them in reality are not seeking work or have only worked for a very short time," said UKIP's employment spokeswoman Jane Collins.
A British Liberal Democrat MEP, Catherine Bearder, said the ruling had "huge implications for the current EU debate in the UK.
"It confirms that jobseekers from elsewhere in the EU are not automatically entitled to claim benefits. I hope the myth of benefit tourism will now be put firmly to bed."
Calum MacRae's team went down to tries from Werner Kok, Dylan Sage and captain Philip Snyman at Stade Jean Bouin.
The Scots had beaten South Africa in their opening fixture, going on to top Pool A with wins over Japan and Canada.
They saw off defending series champions Fiji and England in the quarter and semi-finals on Sunday.
That meant Scotland, who have only won one series leg - the London event last year - in their history, had beaten the three highest-ranked sides in world sevens en route to the showpiece.
But despite Scott Wight's second-half touchdown, a power-laden South African team prevailed to seal the series for the first time since 2009.
The alleged attack took place at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester on 23 May.
The judge at Gloucester Crown Court told jurors the trial could not proceed at this stage.
The four accused - three aged 22 and one aged 20 - deny charges of rape and sexual assault.
A 20-year-old woman was allegedly raped and assaulted at the university end of term party.
The trial has been adjourned until Thursday.
Organisers of the week-long Welsh language festival in Abergavenny wanted to raise £300,000 but the final total will be significantly less.
Eisteddfod officials said the target was "ambitious".
The council said its contribution was an "investment well made".
In 2014, the local authority agreed to host the event and underwrite any shortfall as part of a £580,000 budget commitment.
Council leader Peter Fox told BBC Wales' Newyddion 9 programme: "We always realised there would be challenges in reaching the £300,000 target.
"This doesn't represent a great concern to us because this is a huge investment not only in celebrating Welsh language and culture but also Monmouthshire."
It is estimated as much as £6m will be spent in the local economy during Eisteddfod week.
Eisteddfod chief executive Elfed Roberts said: "We knew the target was fairly ambitious but the local working group has worked very hard.
"They have raised nearly £200,000 by organising numerous bilingual events.
"The council has supported us in many ways and sees the event as an investment in the county."
The Eisteddfod is returning to Abergavenny for the first time since 1913.
It will be held on the grounds of Castle Meadows between 30 July and 6 August.
Some 31,000 Polish, US and other troops are participating in the land, sea and air exercises called Anaconda-16.
It comes weeks before a Nato summit at which leaders are expected to decide to base a significant number of Nato troops in Poland and the Baltic states.
Russia says Nato troops close to its borders are a threat to its security.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: "We do not hide that we have a negative attitude toward the Nato line of moving its military infrastructure to our borders, drawing other countries into military unit activities.
"This will activate the Russian sovereign the right to provide its own safety with methods that are adequate for today's risks."
The Anaconda exercises began in 2006 and take place every two years.
About 12,000 Polish and 14,000 US troops will take part this time, as well as 1,000 from the UK and others from Nato states and five partner nations.
The exercises are intended to test Nato's ability to respond to threats.
But the BBC's correspondent in Warsaw, Adam Easton, says there's been a heightened sense of alarm in eastern Europe since Russia annexed Crimea two years ago and Anaconda is a way of reassuring those countries that the Nato military alliance is serious about their security.

David Grice has worked as a hairdresser for more than 50 years.
His barber's shop contains many historical items, some dating back to the Victorian era.
They said the "surprise" findings, reported at the European Breast Cancer Conference, could mean some women no longer need chemotherapy.
The drugs, tested on 257 women, target a specific weakness found in one-in-ten breast cancers.
Experts said the findings were a "stepping stone" to tailored cancer care.
The doctors leading the trial had not expected or even intended to achieve such striking results.
They were investigating how drugs changed cancers in the short window between a tumour being diagnosed and the operation to remove it.
But by the time surgeons came to operate, there was no sign of cancer in some patients.
Prof Judith Bliss, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said the impact was "dramatic".
She told the BBC News website: "We were particularly surprised by these findings as this was a short-term trial.
"It became apparent some had a complete response. It's absolutely intriguing, it is so fast."
The drugs were lapatinib and trastuzumab, which is more widely known as Herceptin.
They both target HER2 - a protein that fuels the growth of some women's breast cancers.
Herceptin works on the surface of cancerous cells while lapatinib is able to penetrate inside the cell to disable HER2.
The study, which also took place at NHS hospitals in Manchester, gave the treatment to women with tumours measuring between 1 and 3cm.
In less than two weeks of treatment, the cancer disappeared entirely in 11% of cases, and in a further 17% they were smaller than 5mm.
Current therapy for HER2 positive breast cancers is surgery, followed by chemotherapy and Herceptin.
But Prof Bliss believes the findings could eventually mean some women do not need chemotherapy.
However, that will require larger studies especially as HER2 positive cancers have a higher risk of coming back.
"We would have to be very clear we're not taking a backwards step and increasing the risk of relapse," Prof Bliss added.
Baroness Delyth Morgan, the chief executive at Breast Cancer Now, said: "We hope this particularly impressive combination trial will serve as a stepping stone to an era of more personalised treatment for HER2 positive breast cancer.
"Such a rapid response to treatment could soon give doctors the unprecedented ability to identify women responding so well that they would not need gruelling chemotherapy."
Breast cancer is now thought of as at least ten separate diseases, each with a different cause, life expectancy and needing a different treatment.
Matching the specific errors in a tumour to targeted drugs is considered the future of cancer medicine.
Breast cancers, and particularly HER2 positive tumours, are at the forefront of this revolution in treatment.
Prof Arnie Purushotham, from Cancer Research UK which funded the study, said: "These results are very promising if they stand up in the long run, and could be the starting step of finding a new way to treat HER2 positive breast cancers."

Former professional cyclist Eifion Weinzweig, 27, of Bridgend is behind the team, named We Are Wales.
Weinzweig, of Bridgend, has named one of his former coaches, Frenchman Yann Dejan, as its performance director.
The team's home will be in Cardiff and its training base in Brittany, France, while Weinzweig says the squad will include at least four Welsh riders.
Weinzweig wants the team to begin competing at third-tier professional level in 2016 and progress from there to the sport's premier continental road races.

Weinzweig said: "We're starting off at continental level for the first two years, [then we want to] stabilise the riders, stabilise the finances and the business model and then move up to the second division in year three.

BBC Wales has heard claims that one subject, launched 15 years ago, still has no teaching resource in Welsh.
Shadow Education Secretary Llyr Gruffydd said it was "unfair" to rely on teachers to translate material.
The Welsh Government said it was committed to making the "right resources" available.
Chris Evans, head of psychology at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham, told the Newyddion 9 programme that he spent his summer holidays in 2015 translating a textbook for his students.
He said he complained at the time but claimed nothing had changed, with the same problem arising with the second year of the course.
"The English language textbook was published in June but the Welsh version will not be out until at least next summer," he said.
"Translating the material has put added pressure on me over the last two years and put Welsh language students at a disadvantage."
Mr Gruffydd said: "It isn't right that a course is introduced until all the necessary resources are in place.
"I understand the need to ensure that English language textbooks are available and that there is a commissioning process to have them translated.
"But it would be a simple matter to delay for a year until the Welsh language provision is available.
"It is unfair that teachers have to translate them and it devalues the worth of the course in the eyes of the students."
Responses to a survey by teaching union UCAC suggest several GCSE and A Level subject are without adequate Welsh language material.
Some teachers have claimed the health and social care GCSE course has had no Welsh language text book since it was launched 15 years ago.
Others say maths textbooks become available when the course is nearly completed.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "We are committed to getting the right resources available to support the teaching and learning through the medium of Welsh.
"The minister for Welsh language has received a letter regarding this matter and we are looking into it."
The vote is seen as a severe setback for coalition attempts to cut MPs by 50 overall, and by 10 in Wales.
The government lost by 69 votes after Liberal Democrat ministers voted against their Conservative partners.
The vote delays the review of parliamentary boundaries until after the next general election.
BBC Wales parliamentary correspondent David Cornock said there was speculation that the review could have helped give the Conservatives 20 seats at the next election, but both Plaid Cymru and the SNP appeared reluctant to reach a deal with the government.
Conservative Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies said the result would put "the cat among the pigeons".
Ministers could try to overturn the vote in the House of Commons.
But Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said Lib Dem MPs will vote against boundary changes.
If approved, the changes it would mean the end of historic county constituencies such as Anglesey and Montgomeryshire.
Boundary Commission proposals to cut Wales' 40 MPs to 30 hail the biggest change in the political map since 1944.
The changes, approved in principle by Parliament last year, would see England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland lose 31, seven, 10 and two seats respectively.

By observing snakes on an artificial dune, they found that on steeper slopes the animals flatten themselves to increase their contact with the sand.
They then tested the new insights with a robotic snake and calculated the best strategy for snakes - and robots - to scale sandy slopes without slipping.
The work appears in Science Magazine.
Unstable, granular surfaces like sand dunes pose a particular problem for animals and robots trying to traverse them.
"We originally hypothesised that the way the snakes could ascend would be to dig their bodies more deeply into the sand, just like we would do on a sandy slope," said senior author Dr Daniel Goldman, who runs a biomechanics lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
That was not what he and his team found, however, when they painted reflective markers - carefully - on to six venomous rattlesnakes and put them to work on a tilting bed of sand, fresh from the Arizona desert that these snakes call home.
"One of the first surprises was how nice these animals are as subjects - they tend to just sidewind on command," Dr Goldman told the BBC.
The next surprise, captured by several high-speed videocameras, was that instead of digging in for extra purchase, the snakes flattened themselves more smoothly against the sand, every time the researchers tilted the "dune" more steeply.
Furthermore, it was only sidewinding rattlesnakes - a species called Crotalus cerastes - that used this strategy. Thirteen related species of pit viper, faced with the same challenge, tried other wriggling techniques and got nowhere, with the exception of one: a speckled rattlesnake that inched its way very slowly up the incline using a concertina motion.
Sidewinders, on the other hand, Dr Goldman said, "could basically ascend any sand dune we threw at them".
To test out their findings in detail, Dr Goldman's team of physicists and biologists contacted robotics engineers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
There, Prof Howie Choset and his lab had been working on sidewinding robots for several years. Their designs are aimed at various applications, from search-and-rescue to surgery.
But Prof Choset's robotic sidewinders were troubled by the very same challenge that the snakes had a knack for: sandy ascents.
A particular robot, nicknamed "Elizabeth", had failed on assignment in Egypt, slipping and falling on a slope within an archaeological site.
So the engineers brought Elizabeth to the artificial dune that Dr Goldman's team had built "in a shed out back of Zoo Atlanta", to see what they could learn.
Sure enough, using the insight from the rattlesnakes that flattening more of its body on to the sand would help with steeper slopes, the robot's performance improved.
Adjusting Elizabeth's settings also allowed the collaboration to figure out other secrets to the sidewinders' success.
In particular, their motion boils down to a surprisingly simple combination of a horizontal and a vertical wave: a left-right slither, along with up-and-down movement, both travelling down the body but slightly out of sync.
"If you phase those waves just right, you get sidewinding," Dr Goldman explained.
Flattening or enlarging the vertical wave allowed Elizabeth to get just the right amount of contact with the sand. Too much, and the robot would slip; too little, and it risked tipping over.
The reason all these adjustments help the snakes and robots to climb is because they keep the sand more stable underneath them. Getting enough purchase without making too much sand flow downhill is a delicate balancing act.
"What we noticed was that when the snake's ascending effectively... the material behind it was in a nice solid state. And when we applied the changes to the robot, we found a similar feature of the interaction, such that the material didn't flow much," said Dr Goldman.
Andrew Graham is the technical director at Bristol company OC Robotics, which specialises in snake-like robots. He said that although the Carnegie Mellon team were already known for their sidewinding designs, the new study was "a very thorough investigation of the efficiency of the process".
"They've looked at the whole problem, end to end, and demonstrated the application of what they've observed in nature to a robotic model," Mr Graham told BBC News.
He added that the insights from the snakes would help make Prof Choset's robots "more efficient and more applicable to different environments".

An inspection of custody suites in May and June found most issues identified previously had "drifted or got worse".
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said it was "disappointing" that only a fifth of its recommendations had been achieved.
Lancashire Police said it would "strive" to "learn and improve".
The HMIC report identified a number of failures following unannounced inspections at Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Lancaster and Burnley.
Inspectors found there was no policy over how force was used in the custody suites and monitoring was "limited".
And CCTV coverage in cells was still not pixellated, meaning detainees had no privacy when using the toilet.
But the report praised mental health support as "particularly good" and praised staff for their "courteous and professional manner with detainees".
The inspection, the second in Lancashire, was part of a national programme looking at strategy, treatment and conditions, individual rights and health care.
HMIC said: This was a disappointing inspection. The force had failed to build on the progress we identified previously.
"With generally good treatment of detainees and mostly reasonable conditions, the fundamental building blocks remained intact. However, there was a clear need for the force to develop."
A Lancashire Police spokesman said the force was committed to ensuring that "everyone who comes into our custody is treated with courtesy and respect" and had developed new IT and CCTV systems to address concerns.
"Whilst we have previously accepted there are issues around our ability to monitor "use of force" data (resolved via the new system), we do not believe our staff in general use force itself in a disproportionate manner."
Hundreds take part in two free, timed runs organised by Parkrun UK in Little Stoke Park, near Bristol.
Stoke Gifford Parish Council said it was "unfair" to expect non-running residents to pay for path upkeep. It voted six to four in favour of charges.
Event co-director, Becky Bushnell, said the result meant the Little Stoke event would end.
She said it was "now a question of how much notice the council gives us".
In a statement issued prior to the vote, the council said it did not want to discourage use of the park for exercise, but it would be "unfair" to expect residents to foot the bill for an event with "paid directors, fundraisers and sponsors".
At Tuesday's meeting, parish council chair Ernie Brown said: "People can come here any time they like".
"Running, exercise - we welcome that. It's a facility that anyone can use. But as an organisation, like any other organisation, they should pay towards the contribution for facilities," he said.
Geoff Keogh, a Parkrun organiser, told the meeting he did not believe the run had a significant impact on the park, but volunteers would be willing to undertake maintenance activities or litter picks "as a way of offsetting whatever the perceived costs might be to the council".
After the vote, former parish council chairman John Wakeham said he was "ashamed" of the decision.
"I'm not of running age any more but I'm glad to see so many people using the park for the kind of purpose for which it was intended," he said.
"This is the thin end of the wedge."
The decision has met with strong criticism online - with runner Paula Radcliffe among those voicing their concerns.
On Twitter, the London Marathon winner branded the council "short-sighted" and said the event should remain "free for everyone, always".
Reacting on the Parkrun Facebook page, Nick Hayward said: "Absolute disgrace. Parkrun is a great concept that brings all ages, abilities (and pets!) together. Should always be FREE."
Timothy Sowry added: "Unbelievable decision which I hope backfires. Why not try and kill a free inclusive event promoting health wellbeing and community spirit."
About 300 adults and children take part in the timed runs in the park.
Parkrun's ethos is for the event to be free and open to everyone.
It stages 850 runs in 12 countries and organisers warned before the vote the event in Little Stoke, south Gloucestershire, would end if a charge was imposed.
The weekly event has attracted 4,083 registered runners since its launch in 2012.
Ms Bushnell said: "We've done everything we can to explain how Parkrun works, run by volunteers and giving to the community. The benefits outweigh any wear and tear."
"I'm incredibly disappointed and sad for what's going to be lost."
Currently gay men have to wait 12 months after their last sexual activity to give blood, while sex workers are barred from donating.
England and Scotland are relaxing the rules so both groups can donate three-months after their last sex act.
The Welsh Government has said it will carefully consider advice on whether to follow suit.
Officials in Cardiff will work with the Welsh Blood Service to consider recommendations in a UK report, which have led to the rule changes in England and Scotland.
The Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs - which advises UK health departments - made the recommendations after concluding new testing systems were accurate and donors were good at following 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.
The committee said men who have sex with men should be able to give blood three months after their last sexual activity instead of 12. Sex workers, who are banned from giving blood, should also be subject to the same three-month rule.
The UK government is also considering relaxing the rules for people who have undergone acupuncture, piercing, tattooing and endoscopies, and for those with a history of non-prescribed injecting drug use.
But these also need changes to current EU legislation.
The changes in Scotland take effect in November, and in early 2018 in England.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We will now be working closely with the Welsh Blood Service to carefully consider the new recommendations and the implementation of changes to blood donor section criteria."
Cooper, 25, admitted a Football Association charge for landing with his studs on Reading defender Reece Oxford in Saturday's defeat at the Madejski.

The former Chesterfield man served the first game of the suspension in Tuesday's loss at Brentford, so will be able to return to action in Leeds' final league game of the season at Wigan on 7 May.
Cooper was an unused member of the Scotland squad for the friendly draw with Canada and the World Cup 2018 qualification win over Slovenia last month.
Yadira Arroyo, 44, was responding to a call with another paramedic in the Bronx neighbourhood on Thursday night when she was hit.
Authorities charged Jose Gonzalez, 25, with murder, grand larceny and driving while impaired by drugs.
Ms Arroyo was a mother of five children and a 14-year fire department veteran.
The two paramedics were told a man was riding on the back bumper of their ambulance when they stopped to check, according to Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro.
Mr Gonzalez went around to the other side of the vehicle and got into the driver's seat.
He then put the ambulance in reverse and hit Ms Arroyo, who was caught beneath the wheels.
The second unidentified female paramedic was still in the passenger seat when the vehicle was being stolen. She was treated in hospital for minor injuries, police said.
Footage of the incident emerged on Twitter of the incident, showing the ambulance crossing an intersection with one of its doors open and the body of one of the paramedics being dragged beneath the vehicle.
The ambulance then crashed into several parked cars before it came to a halt on a snowbank.
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority K-9 officer and another bystander then apprehended Mr Gonzalez.
"They were acting very bravely. They certainly wanted to continue on their way to the call. This person had no business being in this ambulance," Mr Nigro said.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio praised the "good Samaritans" who helped out.
"A lot of heroism was on display amidst a great tragedy," he said.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said paramedics are "heroes who help countless New Yorkers every day. Tonight's tragedy in the Bronx is horrible. My deepest sympathies to the family".
The government also said it was "concerned" by the increase, while a former boss of Npower called the rise "shocking".
The company will raise standard tariff electricity prices by 15% from 16 March, and gas prices by 4.8%.
A typical dual fuel annual bill will rise by an average of 9.8%, or £109.
Npower said the changes would only affect about half of its customers. The other half are on fixed-term deals and will see no price rise.
The rise in electricity prices is thought to be the largest since 2008, when some suppliers increased charges by up to 19%. Some gas prices went up by a similar amount in 2011.
Comparison website Uswitch said the rise for dual fuel was the largest for a big six supplier since 2013.
Npower blamed increases in wholesale energy costs and the cost of delivering government policies such as smart meters and the renewables obligation.
The wholesale cost of electricity has risen by 36% since last April.
However, Ofgem said suppliers could easily avoid consumer prices rises by buying energy at forward prices.
"We don't see any case for significant price increases where suppliers have bought energy well in advance. Npower must therefore justify the decision to its customers," a spokesperson said.
The government too joined in the criticism, saying it was "concerned by Npower's plans to increase prices for customers who are already paying more than they need to."
The spokesperson for the Business and Energy department went on: "Suppliers are protected from recent fluctuations in the price of wholesale energy, which they buy up to two years in advance, and prices remain significantly lower than in 2014."
Former Npower boss Paul Massara - who now runs an alternative energy company - called the rise "shocking" in a tweet.
The announcement comes after three other suppliers - British Gas, E.on and SSE - announced they would keep prices on hold until the end of March.
EDF cut its gas prices by 5.2% last month, but will raise electricity charges by 8.4% from 1 March.
Npower said it was the first time it had raised prices for three years.
"This is a hugely difficult decision, and we've delayed the date this takes effect until after one of the coldest months of the year," said Simon Stacey, Npower's managing director of domestic markets.
However, 1.4 million customers on existing standard tariffs will be offered a four-year fixed-price tariff with a 4.8% discount.
Pre-payment customers will not be affected by the increase, and 80,000 people who receive a warm home discount will in effect pay no increase until May.
Rory McAllister fired the hosts ahead but recent Forfar signing Steven Craig soon levelled with a left-foot effort.
Andy Ryan pounced on a Graeme Smith error to put Forfar in front and Peterhead then had Steven Noble sent off for violent conduct.
However, Shane Sutherland equalised before the break and, in the second half, substitute Leighton McIntosh struck to give the home side victory.
The Clifton cinema in Wellington closed in 1989 and was used as a furniture store until Dunelm Mill moved out last year.
Campaigners said they hoped to raise £10m to buy the site and convert it into a cinema, theatre, dance studio and exhibition space.
They said the site could also be used to host artists' studios.
Chairman of the Clifton project Bill Graham said the site was expected to cost £1m to buy.
He said the scale of the refurbishment would depend on what funds could be raised through grants or by selling shares through a community benefit society.
"The first thing to do is to preserve the building and the site from other development," he said.
"We have to raise the money to acquire the buildings and once we get that we can look at the detailed design work."
He said the £10m was a "top-end" estimate to complete the full project, although a more modest refurbishment would cost considerably less.
If the group's full ambitions are realised it could see a cafe bar built at the front of the building, along with a gallery, dance studios and community rooms.
Mr Graham said there were also plans to build a 100-seat cinema, modelled on Shrewsbury's Old Market Hall, and a 400-seat theatre.
He said the arts in Telford were "significantly under-provided for".
"We have The Place at Oakengates. Creating another centre here will bring a lot more cultural activities together," he said.
"A lot of the activities that are at TCAT [college] are there by default, because there is nowhere else."
Mr Husseinkhel, 26, has been living in Derby as an asylum seeker since last year after fleeing war-torn Helmand province in 2014.
He now faces deportation to Austria, the first "safe" country he arrived in.
The Home Office said it aimed to return asylum seekers to the European country that was "responsible" for them.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
Mr Husseinkhel worked on the front line in Helmand province translating between British troops and the Afghan army, police and civilians.
He was an interpreter between 2008 and 2012, until he was blown up in a bomb attack and was blinded in his right eye.
Mr Husseinkhel received a death threat letter because of his work, leading him to flee in 2014.
His application for asylum in the UK has been rejected and he now has until 26 June to find a solicitor to take on his case.
If he can get legal representation, a Home Office judicial review will take place. Without a solicitor he faces immediate deportation.
Mr Husseinkhel, who speaks four languages and has glowing references from the army, said it was "unbelievable" that he fought for the UK, but faces being thrown out.
"We put our life at risk and today can't even get help," he said.
"I have worked with them at very hard moments... through bomb threats and enemy threats. I was working shoulder-to-shoulder with British forces."
As an asylum seeker Mr Husseinkhel has not been able to work, but volunteers at Derby Refugee Advice Centre. He lives in modest accommodation and has a £36-a week government allowance.
A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has a proud history of providing protection to those who need it, but it is only fair that we do not shoulder the burden of asylum claims that should rightly be considered by other countries.
"Asylum seekers should claim in the first safe country they arrive in. Where there is evidence that an asylum seeker is the responsibility of another European country we will seek to return them there."
Seven prospective Scotland team members exceeded the Commonwealth Games standard over the weekend.
Hayley Haining, Derek Hawkins and Susan Partridge starred in London's marathon.
James McLachlan and Jade Nimmo excelled in long jump events, while hammer thrower Mark Dry and 800m specialist Lynsey Sharp gave notice of their form.
Haining, now 41, ran two hours, 36 minutes and 52 seconds in London and could yet become Scotland's oldest ever female athlete at a Commonwealth Games.
Hawkins was the top British runner in the elite men's race. He ran 2:16:50 in only his second marathon.
Maybe what happened in the countdown to London will happen in the run-up to Glasgow - and the home Games factor has an effect
Partridge, from Oban, came ninth in a time of 2:30:46, which is a good enough time for a place at the World Championships in Moscow in August.
"I am thrilled with ninth place. The best I have managed before at this kind of level is 17th so to be in the top 10 in the London Marathon feels special," she told scottishathletics.
'I was always very hopeful about the Glasgow 2014 standard, which is at 2:40:00, and hopefully I am pretty secure for that now."
At the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, California, McLachlan produced the second best long jump in Scottish athletics history and Dry gave the third-best hammer throw of his career.
McLachlan's 7.86m pushed him into second place in the Scottish all-time list for the long jump behind record-holder Darren Ritchie and was well clear of the 7.60m that is the Glasgow 2014 standard.
Dry, meanwhile, finished third in the elite hammer competition in California, with his best throw of 74.46m a long way beyond the 65m asked for the Glasgow games.
And Sharp ran inside the required time in her first 800m run of the season. At Walnut her time of 2:02:63 landed her sixth place and was inside the Commonwealth Games standard of 2:02:80.
She tweeted: 'Happy with my opener and great to be back in competition again.'
Finally, in Florida, Nimmo leapt 6.31m to get inside the long jump standard of 6.20m.
"Maybe what happened in the countdown to London will happen in the run-up to Glasgow - and the home Games factor has an effect,' said Partridge.
"You are going to get people coming out of the woodwork, in a manner of speaking, and trying to come up with a performance which wins them a Scottish vest for a Commonwealth Games in Scotland.
"We cannot possibly say Hayley Haining has 'come out of the woodwork' because she has been around for a number of years and has been such a good athlete. She was always liable to have a go at the Glasgow 2014 standard.
"But I certainly do think the thought of the Games coming up will make people work harder in training and compete better.
"I'm certainly hoping now that being nine minutes inside the women's marathon standard will mean I am in a good position but there's a long way to go until the selection periods close.
"There is plenty of time for other people to run marathons."
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reprise their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for the six-part series.
Original creator Chris Carter will be at the helm when production starts this summer.
It is not yet known when it will air on TV.
The show, which ran for nine seasons from 1993-2002, saw Mulder and Scully investigate unsolved mysteries and paranormal cases.
More than 200 episodes of the The X-Files were made, making it the longest-running sci-fi series in US network TV history. Two feature films were also made - in 1998 and 2008.
Carter said: "I think of it as a 13-year commercial break.
"The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories."
Dana Walden and Gary Newman, of Fox Television Group, said: "We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of The X-Files - one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers - and we couldn't be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again.
"The X-Files was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture - yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning.
"Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as The X-Files and we're ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they've been waiting for."
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) provide protection for people with reduced mental capacity.
The Supreme Court ruling means every individual is entitled to their own assessment rather than a general one.
But social services directors say it has put major pressure on services as social workers carry out assessments.
The application for a DoLS is normally made by a hospital, care home or advocate for the person who has reduced mental capacity.
A report published on Monday by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) and Health Inspectorate Wales (HIW) also found hospitals and care homes were not always aware of their responsibilities under DoLS guidelines.
Figures obtained by BBC Wales show that since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been at least a 10-fold increase in applications for DoLS in most areas of Wales with some receiving significantly more.
Hywel Dda University Health Board, which covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, has seen applications rise to 251 between April and August compared with just 57 in 2013/14.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board which covers north Wales has seen applications increase to 127 from 27 in the same period while Powys Teaching Health Board's figures have gone up from 30 to 140.
In council areas, Gwynedd had seven applications last year but 122 so far this year and Blaenau Gwent's figures have risen to 146 in the six months from April from just two in the previous year.
Councils and health boards are obliged to carry out a full DoLS assessment within 21 days, seven days if the request is urgent, and failure to adhere to these timescales could leave them vulnerable to legal challenges.
Liz Majer from the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru said they had done a survey of local authorities which showed there had been a 30 fold increase in applications in a six month period, as compared to the previous year.
"Without additional resources you can understand that's had a major impact and pressure on service delivery", she said.
Cath Dyer's daughter, Claire, has severe autism.
Ms Dyer told BBC Radio Wales how the system had worked when Claire received a DoLS order while at college in 2011.
She said the system worked well for their daughter, and offered extra protection and safety.
The report published by CSSIW and HIW said there needed to be a greater awareness and understanding in care homes and hospitals of how safeguards can be used to support people who lack mental capacity.
It also found training was fragmented and needed to be better co-ordinated.
CSSIW chief inspector Imelda Richardson said: "It's not unusual to have to go outside to relieve the pressure on the system by having additional staff on a temporary basis.
"If there is pressure on the system then there's going to be some time-lags.
"But it's important to try to keep within reasonable bandwidths on timescale because we're talking about very vulnerable people and the anxieties of their families."
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: "Authorities need to be made more aware of their responsibilities and need to have reliable access to training and ongoing professional support which is focused on their particular role and responsibilities.
"An action plan has been agreed outlining the process for streamlining the DoLS process, to make it both proportionate and protective within the legal parameters and by embedding the Mental Capacity Act in relevant codes of practice."
Deloitte's Newmarket Horse Racing Industry report has concluded the area was a "national sporting asset".
Robin Miller, Forest Heath District Council's deputy leader, said: "We should be looking to government to support infrastructure improvements.
The council cited improvements to the A14's junctions as priorities.
The Deloitte study followed on from 2014's SQW report into the economic value of horse racing to the local economy in west Suffolk.
It concluded the racecourses, stables, studs and related industries were worth £208m a year and provided 8,500 jobs within a 25-mile radius of the town.
Councillor Miller said: "For those who don't know Newmarket or don't live here, it has been something of a hidden gem and this is a real opportunity for people to understand its economic importance."
William Gittus, chairman of the Newmarket Horsemen's Group and managing director of Jockey Club Estates, said: "What is really encouraging about the report's findings is the recognition that the racing industry in Newmarket has the scope and potential to grow further and, as an asset of national importance, can help the district leverage external investment for major infrastructure improvements that will benefit everyone."
Graham Abbey, chairman of the Newmarket Chamber of Commerce, said: "Horseracing makes Newmarket a unique place to live and work, but it also brings challenges for all of us.
"The chamber is absolutely ready to sit down with all parties and work through these challenges so that everyone benefits and all of our businesses can grow and thrive."
Fans ran on to the pitch and scuffles broke out after England won 1-0 in Krusevac to progress 2-0 on aggregate.
The Football Association has reported "a number" of racist incidents to European governing body Uefa.
"There was a lot of racist abuse out there from the stands and a lot going on after the game," Henderson said.
"There were also stones, coins and seats getting thrown at us," he added. "What happened wasn't nice and is not called for in football."
"As soon as the players were in the tunnel apparently there were issues. The Serbian conditioning coach was apparently jostling and getting his face in England players' faces. Jack Butland, the England goalkeeper, was peppered throughout the game with various objects thrown from the stands. Stuart Pearce had a seat thrown at him. Then at the end Danny Rose was racially abused."
England defender Danny Rose, sent off after the final whistle in Serbia after kicking a football into the crowd, seemed to indicate he had been racially abused.
"I didn't understand why Danny Rose was sent off at the end," said Henderson. "I didn't see he did anything wrong, other than get abused."
The FA said in a statement it "condemns both the scenes of racism and the confrontation at the final whistle during which time our players and staff were under extreme provocation".
It added: "The FA has reported a number of incidents of racism to Uefa following the fixture. These were seemingly aimed at a number of England black players by the crowd. The matter is now with Uefa."
England assistant coach Steve Wigley was manhandled by opposition players and staff after the game.
"One or two of the technical staff from the opposition, and I don't include their manager in that, didn't cover themselves in glory on the pitch at the end," England manager Stuart Pearce told BBC Sport.
"Punches, headbutts were thrown, and God knows what else. We will let the authorities deal with this at Uefa."
In 2007, the Serbian Football Federation was fined £16,000 at the Under-21 European Championship in Netherlands after their supporters racially abused England's Nedum Onouha.

Former England player Paul Ince has called for Serbia to be banned from tournament football and urged Uefa chief Michel Platini and Fifa president Sepp Blatter to act.
"It's disgraceful to see these scenes," said the former Liverpool and Manchester United midfielder, whose son, Tom, played in the game for England.
"If it was me, they [Serbia] would be kicked out for the next five tournaments - European, World Cups - but they will get a little ban and that will be it. Things like that are not what we want to see in football. It takes it back to the dark ages."
Ince admitted he had been concerned about the safety of his 20-year-old son, who plays for Blackpool.
"When your son's out there, it's worrying," Ince told ESPN.
Clarke Carlisle, an ambassador for anti-racism campaigners Kick It Out, said: "It's so disappointing to see things like this going on, the racial element and the pure physical violence, kicks and punches being thrown.
"These guys are supposed to be international players and conduct themselves accordingly."
Reading striker Jason Roberts took to Twitter to back Rose, who is on loan at Sunderland from Tottenham Hotspur.
"Well done Danny Rose. I stand right beside you," tweeted Roberts.
In another message, Roberts added: "We demand to be treated with respect. We are not asking. NOW, not tomorrow. I am fuming."
Speaking in Russia, he said he was "not overthrown" but was compelled to leave Ukraine after threats to his life.
In the latest flare-up, Ukraine accused Russian troops of seizing two airports in Crimea - charges denied by Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for a rapid return to normality in Ukraine.
Mr Putin spoke to Western leaders to emphasise "the extreme importance of not allowing a further escalation of violence", the Kremlin said.
However, Ukraine's foreign ministry has sent a protest note to Moscow citing a violation of airspace and provisions of the treaty regulating the Russian presence in Crimea.
The note does not give details, but follows unconfirmed reports of Russian planes landing at Simferopol - allegedly with hundreds of Russian troops on board.
By Bridget KendallBBC's diplomatic correspondent, Moscow
The picture being presented from Moscow is that events in Crimea are spontaneous - the natural response of local Russian speakers who felt threatened by the new Kiev government.
How far the Kremlin is pulling the strings behind the scenes is hard to know. Certainly it is not being admitted openly. But there are signs the Russian government is hardening its stance.
The question for President Putin is how far he can push it without risking a full scale confrontation with the West.
Maybe he thinks he can have it both ways - encourage more Crimean autonomy but stop short of secession; criticise the new Kiev government but avoid a full break in relations; and try to unnerve Ukraine's young government by heavy-handed manoeuvres on the border without actually invading.
But it is a dangerous game. If tensions escalate further, a full scale crisis between East and West may be impossible to avoid.
Analysis: Russian shadow boxing
In other developments:
"I intend to continue to struggle for the future of Ukraine, against terror and fear," Mr Yanukovych told the news conference in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
"What's going on now is lawlessness, lack of authority, and terror. Decisions in parliament were taken under duress."
He apologised to the Ukrainian people for not having "enough strength to keep stability" and described his usurpers as "young, neo-fascists".
He insisted he did not "flee anywhere", explaining that his car was shot at as he left Kiev and he was forced to move around Ukraine amid fears for the safety of himself and his family.
He said he arrived in Russia "thanks to a patriotically-minded young officer" and was given refuge in Rostov by an old friend.
Speaking in Russian, Mr Yanukovych said he would return to Ukraine "as soon as there are guarantees for my security and that of my family".
But he ruled out taking part in elections planned for 25 May, describing them as "illegal".
Later Ukrainian authorities said they had started moves to have him extradited to Kiev where he is wanted on charges of mass murder.
And he said the only way out of the crisis is to implement an EU-backed compromise agreement he signed with opposition leaders last week before he was deposed.
The current turmoil in Crimea was "an absolutely natural reaction to the bandit coup that occurred in Kiev", he said, adding that he was surprised by the restraint shown by Russian President Vladimir Putin so far.
But he stressed that "military action in this situation is unacceptable" and said he wanted Crimea to remain part of Ukraine.
Armed men took over Sevastopol and Simferopol airports in the early hours of Friday.
Acting national security chief Andriy Parubiy said the airports were back in the control of the Ukrainian authorities, but the men were now manning checkpoints on the surrounding roads.
Witnesses also reported seeing Russian army trucks and helicopters in and around the regional capital Simferopol and Sevastopol, where Russia's Black Sea Fleet is based.
The move on the airports prompted Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov to accuse Russia of carrying out an "armed invasion" of Crimea.
In pictures: Crimea tension
Russia denied any involvement with the takeover at the airport, but confirmed its armoured vehicles had been on the move around Crimea for "security" reasons.
On Thursday, a group of unidentified armed men entered Crimea's parliament building by force, and hoisted a Russian flag on the roof.
They were still in the building when the Crimean parliament later announced it would hold a referendum on expanding the region's autonomy from Ukraine on 25 May.
Crimea is becoming the lynchpin of a struggle between Ukraine's new leaders and those loyal to Russia, the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall says.
The majority of people in Crimea are ethnic Russians, but ethnic Ukrainians loyal to Kiev and Muslim Tatars - whose animosity towards Russia stretches back to Stalin's deportations during World War Two - have formed an alliance to oppose any move back towards Moscow.
Napoli are six points behind Juventus with six games remaining.
Manolo Gabbiadini headed Napoli ahead in the 33rd minute and Lorenzo Insigni scored a penalty in first-half stoppage time after Verona's Samuel Souprayen was sent off for a professional foul on Jose Callejon.
Callejon tapped home the third goal on 70 minutes.
Juventus remain clear favourites to claim the Italian title after they beat AC Milan 2-1 on Saturday.
There have been two days of stock market turmoil around the world amid fears over China's rate of growth.
Responding to the stock market falls, George Osborne said the UK could "do more to increase our economic stability and security".
But Labour accused Mr Osborne of complacency and not doing enough to boost the UK's productivity.
The People's Bank of China has cut its main interest rate by 0.25%, the fifth interest rate cut since November - a decision that has boosted European share prices after dramatic falls on Monday.
The rapid declines in stock exchanges around the world has been nicknamed the "great fall of China".
Mr Osborne, who has been a key figure in a UK export drive to China, said: "We're not immune to what goes on in the world. We know that. We can do more to increase our own economic stability and security."
He added that the government had to carry on taking "difficult decisions so that we are able to deal with whatever the world throws at us and make sure we are better insulated from that".
Asked what the UK could do, Mr Osborne said: "We can go on trading with China, that's going to help everyone, but we have also got to put our own house in order, we've been doing that in recent years, and so we are much better prepared than we would have been a few years ago for this kind of shock".
But Labour is accusing the ministers of not doing enough.
The shadow chancellor, Chris Leslie said: "The Chancellor is too complacent about the impact a slowdown in China and emerging markets might have on the UK, particularly for our exporters.
"Britain needs a serious strategy to help exporters, this means redoubling efforts to boost productivity, tackling infrastructure obstacles, addressing the skills deficit and ensuring innovators can access the capital they need".
The detached cottage in Ceinws, Powys, was bought by the Welsh government for £149,000 and will be knocked down.
April's parents said on their Facebook page it was "a huge weight off our minds", and added the house had been "a constant reminder".
Bridger, 48, abducted April as she played with friends near her home in Machynlleth on 1 October 2012.
He was jailed for life in May 2013 for murdering the girl in a sexually motivated attack.
April's body has never been found, but blood and fragments of bone consistent with a young human skull were found at the house he rented.
Police believe Bridger dismembered the girl and dumped her body parts at locations in the hills, rivers and forests surrounding the house.
During the trial, the court heard how child sex abuse images were found on his laptop, along with images of children from the area.
Bridger had claimed he had run over April in his car and could not remember where he disposed of her body. But a jury found him guilty of her murder and he was jailed for life.
On Monday, it emerged that the Welsh government had bought the house Bridger had rented for the price its owners paid for it in 2008.
April's parents Coral and Paul Jones said on their Facebook page: "The Welsh government has bought the house in Machynlleth connected to the death of our daughter, April.
"This is a huge weight off our minds, as it can now be demolished. The loss of our beautiful daughter was bad enough, but the house has been a constant reminder of the tragic events.
"Our family want to thank the Welsh government for listening to us and for understanding our need to see the house demolished."
A spokesman for the Welsh government said: "After discussions with the family, the Welsh government has purchased the property in Machynlleth connected to the death of April Jones.
"The Welsh government will now work with the local authority, the Jones family and the local community on the most appropriate future for the site, following demolition of the property."
Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies said: "This house witnessed a truly horrific act which shocked a small community and appalled the world. It is good news that it is to be demolished."
Crowds lined the streets for the Riding of the Marches on Sunday.
The historic event, which dates back to the 16th century, sees riders make a seven-hour journey from the Braid Hills towards the city, ending at the Mercat Cross on the Royal Mile.
Now an annual event, it returned to Edinburgh in 2009 after a gap of more than 60 years.
It sees the appointed Edinburgh Captain and Lass lead hundreds of horses up the Royal Mile where they return the city flag to the Lord Provost.
The Riding of the Marches was first recorded in the capital in 1579 and was held on a regular basis until 1718, where the purpose was to inspect the boundary markers of Edinburgh.
The riding tradition, known as "common riding" in the Borders, is believed to date as far back as the 12th century, when Scottish towns were granted a charter, effectively creating the birth of the town.
The measure is designed to make it harder for the likes of those who carried out the Paris attacks and hold EU citizenships to use the programme known as the "visa waiver" to enter the US.
Citizens of 38 countries, many in the EU, can currently fly to the US without applying for a visa under America's Visa Waiver Program.
The new legislation initially said those eligible for the waiver programme who had travelled to "terrorist hotspots" like Iraq and Syria where IS controls territory would need to obtain a US visa.
But the final version included Iran and Sudan to the list of countries because they are considered "state sponsors of terrorism" by the US.
US to tighten visa waiver programme
The bill HR158 means citizens of many EU countries and the rest of the 38 states participating in the programme who travel to Iran for pleasure or business will have to obtain a visa should they ever want to enter the US.
It also adds the same restriction on hundreds of thousands of dual citizens of the EU, Australia and New Zealand who also have citizenship from these countries.
"Once again they punish Iranians for crimes committed by terrorists virtually every one of us despise, oppose and are fighting," Ali Abdi, a prominent Iranian-American human rights activist told BBC Persian.
"In fact we shouldn't punish anyone based on their place of origin."
Narges Bajoghli, a filmmaker in New York, took to Facebook to encourage her friends to contact their representative in Congress in opposition to what she called "singling out a group of people based on their ethnic background".
Twitter accounts and other Facebook pages dedicated to organising to protest against the bill have also been created, including @StopHR158, which references the official number of the bill.
The National Iranian American Council in Washington is lobbying to stop this bill from passing in the United States Senate.
"These provisions impacting Iranian Americans were added in backroom negotiations at the last minute without hearings or accountability," the group said in a statement.
And the ACLU, one of the leading civil rights organisations in the country, cautioned Congress "to avoid passing legislation that would broadly scapegoat groups based on nationality, and would fan the flames of discriminatory exclusion, both here and abroad".
On social media many Iranian Americans expressed shock that such limitations would be imposed on people who travel to Iran but not Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.
Others called it a continuation of presidential candidate Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric. 'It's so "Trumpesque"' tweeted Shayan, a German of Iranian background who said he was worried that his trip to US may be affected.
EU officials are also alarmed by the legislation.
David O'Sullivan, the European Union Ambassador to the US, told the BBC that he and ambassadors from EU member states have reached out to Congress and White House to raise what he called the "fear that the legislation at its current form could produce unintended consequences".
Mr O'Sullivan said the EU wants to "maintain the highest security of the visa waiver programme" but opposes "introducing new rigidities which would penalise millions of Europeans and Americans" who travel back and forth.
He stopped short of threatening to reciprocate against US citizens and said he remains focused on finding a way to resolve the issue through dialogue.
The US State Department said it does not comment on pending legislation.
Worried Iranians in EU and US are hoping to convince senators to at least take "Iran" out of the final version of the bill, especially after the recent nuclear deal and the prospect of sanctions against Iran being lifted next year.
"It will hurt European tourism and business travel to Iran," said Shabnam Tavasoli, an active member of the Facebook page set up to fight HR158.
"People will be deterred by the fact that one trip there means they will no longer be able to fly to US without the cumbersome process of getting a US visa through an embassy," he wrote, adding it was "preposterous" a British citizen couldn't use the programme if they had inherited Iranian citizenship from a parent.
He was believed to have been welding at B&C Services at Marlhill Court, Youghal, County Cork, when an explosion occurred at 09:25 GMT on Wednesday.
He was transported to Cork University Hospital by the Coast Guard helicopter based in Waterford.
Police and the Health and Safety Authority are investigating the incident.
Aleena Kauser was walking with her mother when she was hit by a car travelling at more than 60mph (96km/h) in a 30mph zone.
Adil Manir, 20, admitted causing death by dangerous driving while Mohsen Saddique, 23, was found guilty after a trial at Burnley Crown Court.
The pair were given four-year sentences.
Aleena was walking on a pavement with her mother along Bacup Road in Rawtenstall, Lancashire to a mosque when she was hit by Manir's Audi A5 on 18 September 2015.
She was airlifted to the Royal Blackburn Hospital but later died.
Saddique was tailgating Manir in a Volkswagen Golf immediately before the crash, with only 6ft (2m) between the cars as they drove at speeds between 55mph and 64mph, the court heard.
Saddique was "actively encouraging [Manir] to drive faster and more dangerously", Senior Crown Prosecutor Tom Snape said.
He added: "Both men showed complete disregard for all other road users when they used their cars to race with each other.
"Even though only one car actually struck Aleena, they are both culpable for her fatal injuries. Today as they begin their sentences, they must now face up to the consequences of their reckless actions."
Police said three young boys had been seen "acting suspiciously" before the infant Jesus was snatched on Monday night.
Officers said the theft happened outside St John's Kirk in St John's Place in the city before 23:30.
It is the second time the life-sized doll has been stolen from the nativity scene in the past two years.
Anne Chat, who serves as an elder at the church and also works as a volunteer, said: "Last year someone stole the doll from the display too, but it turned up again a while later.
"It just seems to be something that people do these days, it's a shame."
Mrs Chat said the nativity had been put in place by the locals on Saturday evening after a lantern procession attended by about a hundred people and a pipe band.
Local MSP Rosanna Cunningham had tweeted a picture of the Christmas scene just hours before the Jesus was taken saying: "Perth's beautiful Nativity scene outside St John's Kirk #Advent".
In a statement, Police Scotland said: "Three young boys were seen acting suspiciously in the area at the time and were last seen near St John Street, Perth.
They are described as wearing black clothing, with two of the boys carrying rucksacks.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The study by the Institute for Public Policy Research says northern secondary schools lag behind the England average.
The report echoes Ofsted's warning that without better education, the government's Northern Powerhouse economic plan will "splutter and die".
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said ongoing reforms had helped poor pupils.
The attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers is "falling", but "the job is not finished yet", she said.
The IPPR report, which was funded by education charity Teach First, said the proportions of pupils achieving the benchmark five GCSEs at grades A* to C were:
And pupils eligible for free school meals at northern schools do worse at GCSE than their counterparts in London, the researchers found.
For free school meals pupils, the proportions achieving the GCSE benchmark are:
Despite a few "beacons of success", there are large attainment gaps in the pre-school years as well as at secondary level, the report said.
However, primary schools are performing in line with national averages and some local authorities have levels of attainment for disadvantaged children to rival London.
A focus on failing schools will not solve the problem, say the authors, as "even good and outstanding schools have attainment gaps".
"Policy makers should focus on tackling variation within all schools," they urge.
This problem is not restricted to small towns and coastal areas, often singled out as areas where pupils perform poorly.
"Even large cities such as Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield need to raise their game."
The report also points out discrepancies in school funding between regions, and backs government plans to improve funding to northern schools through a new national funding formula.
In the north, annual funding per secondary pupil is about £5,700 compared with about £7,000 in London, the report says.
IPPR associate director Jonathan Clifton said London had not always done well by disadvantaged pupils.
"Two decades ago London was the worst place to attend school if you were from a low income background."
He said the capital's example showed success was possible "through investment, strong leadership and collaboration".
"We need a similar level of ambition for schools in the north."
Colin Ferguson, Teach First's north-west director, said young people were "the future of the Northern Powerhouse" but "urgent action" to unlock their potential would be needed if the government's plan to drive productivity and economic growth in the region was to be realised.
Shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said the report "rightly warned that the government's rhetoric of a Northern Powerhouse will not match reality unless real action is taken to close the growing attainment gap between disadvantaged young people and their peers".
Ms Powell said ministers should focus on the root causes of low attainment "rather than obsessing about the forced academisation of all schools against their wishes".
Mrs Morgan said great teachers were "vital" to raising school standards.
"We are also ensuring that all schools have the resources they need through the introduction of a historic new national funding formula that will ensure funding follows need rather than a historic formula and continuing to invest in the pupil premium, worth £2.5bn this year."
The UKIP leader said the BBC was part of the "political establishment" which covered the election "as if there were just two choices in England".
The comment to reporters came ahead of a BBC Question Time leaders' debate featuring David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg.
Mr Farage will answer questions in a separate programme later.
There will be versions with the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood in Scotland and Wales.
In Northern Ireland, there was a leaders debate on 16 April as part of the BBC Newsnight programme, with Nigel Dodds of the DUP, Sinn Fein's Mairtin O Muilleoir, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt, the SDLP's Mark Durkan, and Alliance leader David Ford.
"There was the Ofcom ruling that said there were four major parties [in England]," Mr Farage told reporters during a campaign walkabout in Aylesbury.
"I've got no complaints about Channel 4, ITV, Channel 5, Sky, who have covered us as part of the election campaign. You know, the good bits, the bad bits and all the things that happen.
"But I genuinely feel that if you were to watch the evening news on the BBC you would think that UKIP were just a bit part player."
He added: "We have this bizarre state of affairs where the BBC, an organisation we are all charged £145 a year to have the benefit of seeing, aren't regulated by Ofcom, have made their own minds up (about major party status) and frankly produce the News at 10 every night as if there were just two choices in England in this election.
"I think they are biased, I thought last night's report they produced on the South Thanet constituency was frankly outrageous."
Later he told BBC political correspondent Robin Brant: "It is as if the BBC is part, in its thinking, of the political establishment and we are the one party in British politics challenging this European consensus and frankly I think being treated in the most extraordinary way.
"When we have people in UKIP that say or do stupid things, and it happens, I have to hold my hands up and the BBC covers it as a news story."
During a BBC debate with opposition party leaders on 16 April, the UKIP leader accused those attending of being a "left-wing audience".
However, he said he would take part in the latest BBC debate.
"We will see what we get tonight with the audience.
"What I do know is the real audience will be sitting at home and I will do my best, albeit rather late having been excluded from the main debate, to do what I have tried to do through this whole general election campaign.
"That is to tell the truth, even if at times the truth is difficult to hear."
UKIP has also complained to the police over comments about Mr Farage on an episode of BBC One's topical quiz Have I Got News For You.
The BBC said the show often made jokes at the expense of politicians. Kent Police said it would not take action.

Ziyanda Palesa Tutu, 30, has tweeted that she will be handing herself in.
Police in Cape Town confirmed they were investigating "malicious damage to property" in relation to the case.
"We are naturally distressed and deeply saddened," a statement from the Nobel peace laureate's foundation said, adding that the family hoped to soon put the incident behind them.
Ms Tutu, who is not a regular tweeter, said on the social platform on Tuesday morning: "We are waging war. Truths will be revealed."
More than 12 hours later she posted: "I am regrouping but @TheDesmondTutu & granny Leah I will be handing myself in on Friday. # TututrialbyMedia."
The 83-year-old retired archbishop and his wife Leah then issued a statement on Thursday saying: "We confirm that a criminal charge has been laid and that police are conducting an investigation."

Archbishop Tutu in his own words
According to the Associated Press news agency, police said the case was opened last week, and indicated that it was Leah Tutu who filed the complaint.
"This office can confirm that a malicious damage to property case was opened for investigation by the complainant against her granddaughter," it quoted police from the Western Cape province as saying.
Ms Tutu, who describes herself as "Desmond Tutu's first grandchild" and a qualified wine judge on her Twitter profile, posted on Thursday that she was too emotional to give interviews but would talk when she was ready.
Her grandfather played an instrumental role in the struggle against apartheid, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts.
Reaction: BBC Africa's Milton Nkosi, Johannesburg
The news of Ziyanda Palesa Tutu's brush with the law came as a surprise to most South Africans. She is not a well-known figure here but it shows that no-one is above the law even if they come from a prominent family. The reaction on social media sites has been subdued.
I have met Desmond Tutu a few times and I know that this will be devastatingly painful for him and his wife Leah.
The archbishop was appointed by Nelson Mandela, whose family also had acrimonious disagreements in public, to chair the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the mid-1990s.
More than anybody else, the archbishop knows that he will have to lead by example once the dust has settled in this family dispute - as he has in the past.
The statesman is affectionately known at "the Arch" by South Africans and garners worldwide respect for his outspoken views.
Two years ago he stepped down as the chair of the Elders - a group of former leaders who help resolve global disputes, but he still makes public appearances around the world.
The report is expected to focus on whether the ward should close or be downgraded.
NHS Lothian said it could not be published ahead of the election as it may be "politically contentious".
The health board said this was due to pre-election guidelines which come into force on 23 March.
Scottish government guidance issued to health boards ahead of the Holyrood elections in 2011 stated that NHS board meetings should continue as normal ahead of the vote.
But the guidance added: "It would be prudent, however, not to introduce new items which are likely to be the subject of controversy on the agenda at meetings during the election period."
The St John's report is being compiled by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which was asked to carry out a review of the acute paediatric health service across Lothian.
It followed the children's ward at St John's, which treats about 3,000 youngsters every year, closing to in-patients over the summer because of staffing problems.
Campaigners from the Action to Save St John's Hospital group have said they fear the review will be the "beginning of the end" for the ward, which has been under threat for several years.
NHS Lothian's medical director, Dr David Farquharson, said it would not be possible for the report to be completed, considered and published before the Scottish Parliament is dissolved when the pre-election period begins on 23 March.
He said: "As a result the report will be formally presented at the NHS Lothian public board meeting in early June.
"We cannot pre-empt what the report will say, however we recognise the potentially politically contentious nature of this issue.
"For this reason, we have taken the responsible decision of organising a meeting to allow board members to review and absorb the findings of the report and consider the next steps in advance of the June board meeting but after the pre-election period is complete."
Opposition politicians have questioned the decision to delay publication of the report.
Neil Findlay, a Labour MSP for the Lothians, said: "This delay stinks. This is an outrageous situation that looks very much as if this review has been politically manipulated by ministers and the health board to hide what may come from this review from the voters.
"The people in West Lothian should be able to make an informed choice at the next election and our local SNP representatives should be judged on their record, and that of the government they support."
Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said: "Instead of sitting on this until after the election, the SNP should come clean and tell the people of West Lothian exactly what it intends to do with an extremely valued and crucial local facility."
Alison Johnstone, Green MSP for Lothian, said parents in the area and staff at St John's were being "left in limbo".
She said: "It's sensible that the NHS board comes up with sustainable answers but it doesn't seem reasonable for people to have to wait until June before they know what's likely to happen."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "The Scottish government has no involvement in the timing of the independent review being carried out by NHS Lothian.
"Any suggestion that a decision has already been taken on the future of the ward is wrong. The expert review has yet to even begin and, when it does, it will consider all options before making any recommendations to NHS Lothian.
"We have been in close contact with the health board since the issues at St John's arose. The board has told us that due to the availability of key personnel, the review cannot realistically be completed before Parliament dissolves in March. We support whatever steps need to be taken to ensure a full and thorough review."
A new £150m children's hospital is expected to open in Edinburgh in the autumn 2017.
Nicole Dempsey, 37 and the mother of two children, suffered 80% burns in the fire on Tuesday.
The crash caused a gas bottle to explode at the Serves You Right Cafe in Ravenshoe, south of Cairns.
Seven people remain in critical condition in hospitals in the region, say Australian health officials.
At least 20 people were hurt in the explosion and fire in the small farming town, in what Queensland authorities described as the state's biggest burns event.
CCTV footage showed the explosion flinging customers out of the cafe and across the pavement.
Some people staggered from the building, their clothing on fire, as others rushed to put out the flames.
The explosion blew out both sides of the building and the fire took an hour to bring under control.
It is not known what caused the vehicle to veer off the road into the cafe. Police are investigating whether the driver - who remains in hospital - may have had a medical episode and lost control.
Ravenshoe Community Centre chairperson Priscilla Clare said it was amazing anyone survived the explosion.
Ms Clare said a group of about eight local senior citizens were inside the cafe at the time, having just been briefed by local firemen about fire safety.
"People have witnessed horrific things," Ms Clare told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
"I was talking to people and I did not recognise them" because of their burnt hair and faces, she said. | The launch of new GCSE and A Level subjects should be delayed until Welsh language textbooks are available, Plaid Cymru has said.

Nick Timothy told the Daily Telegraph that Downing Street was also guilty of a breakdown in communication with both the public and Whitehall departments.
The party clearly underestimated Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, he added.
Mr Timothy resigned as the prime minister's joint chief of staff after the Tories lost their majority.
He said: "If the party retreats into a comfort zone that we don't find very challenging, I worry that we will not only fail to address the challenges the country faces but we will also increase the chances of a hard-left government in five years' time."
Mr Timothy was joint chief of staff alongside Fiona Hill, and co-wrote the Conservatives' manifesto going into the general election.
He rejected reports that Mrs May had intended to sack Chancellor Philip Hammond if she increased her Commons majority.
Mrs May is still prepared to walk away from Brexit talks without a deal, he added, but her hopes of reversing the ban on new grammar schools are over.
Mr Timothy said plans for ministers to play a bigger part in the election campaign were overruled by party strategists.
He conceded it "probably is true that there should have been more on the economy during the campaign".
"Overall the lesson of the election for the party and for the government cannot be: 'Oh well, we tried that and we didn't win the election we were hoping for so let's not try it any more'," he said.
"If the party retreats to a much more orthodox Conservative proposition then I worry that won't be sufficient to tackle the big problems that the country has and in five years' time we do risk the election of a dangerous left-wing alternative."
Mr Timothy was interviewed by the Telegraph ahead of starting to write a weekly column for the paper.
Mr Gove was a surprise addition to the race, having been expected to back Boris Johnson, who shocked the political world by ruling himself out.
Minister Andrea Leadsom, MP Liam Fox and Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb are also in the running.
The winner of the contest is set to be announced on 9 September.
The leadership battle has been sparked by David Cameron's decision to step down as prime minister after losing the EU referendum, which saw the country vote by 52% to 48% to leave the EU.
Mr Gove's announcement early on Thursday that he would challenge the leadership was unexpected, as the justice secretary had been expected to throw his weight behind fellow leading Leave campaigner Mr Johnson for Conservative leader.
Explaining his decision, he said: "I have repeatedly said that I do not want to be prime minister. That has always been my view. But events since last Thursday have weighed heavily with me.
"I respect and admire all the candidates running for the leadership. In particular, I wanted to help build a team behind Boris Johnson so that a politician who argued for leaving the European Union could lead us to a better future.
"But I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead."
By Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
"Shakespearian" is the word being mumbled by dazed politicians and pundits at Westminster.
The ambitions, rivalries and duplicitous double-dealing unleashed before the Tory leadership contest even got underway has left onlookers groping for fictional comparisons.
It's Richard III meets Scarface, with a bit of Godfather thrown in.
Remember this: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and George Osborne grew up together - personally and politically. Their families were close. But the EU referendum ripped through old loyalties.
First Michael Gove backed the Leave campaign, knowing the damage it could do to Cameron and Osborne. The chancellor and Gove kept their friendship intact despite the strain of the campaign.
But it was Boris Johnson's decision to lead the Leave campaign and put his own ambitions to be prime minister ahead of loyalty to David Cameron that severed his relationship with the now departing PM, destroyed by Leave's victory.
Boris Johnson believed the crown would be his and naively believed Michael Gove's promises of support. But now Mr Gove, despite polite protestations he never coveted the top job, has ruthlessly dispatched his friend.
What has been going on behind the scenes? The truth will only emerge in memoirs.
But my sense is Mr Gove and his team of advisors clearly did not believe Boris Johnson had the spine to fully divorce Britain from the EU. Nor did a number of Tory Mps trust Mr Johnson to deliver the promises he was making in terms of personnel and jobs.
When Mr Gove made his move, hardened Brexit believers instantly went with him, sinking Boris Johnson.
The irony of course is that Boris Johnson, who did so much to take Britain out of the EU, has seen his own ambitious crushed in the aftermath.
It could be that the big winner from this vicious Tory drama is the woman in charge of law and order - Theresa May.
Setting out his pitch for the leadership, the cabinet minister - best known as a controversial education secretary before becoming one of the faces of the Leave campaign - said: "I want there to be an open and positive debate about the path the country will now take.
"Whatever the verdict of that debate I will respect it. In the next few days I will lay out my plan for the United Kingdom which I hope can provide unity and change."
Conservative MP David Davis told BBC Radio 5 Live Mr Gove's decision must have been taken "very late", as Mr Gove's assistant had asked him on Wednesday night to attend Mr Johnson's campaign launch on Thursday.
Justice minister and Leave campaigner Dominic Raab, who switched his support from Mr Johnson to Mr Gove, told the BBC's Daily Politics that "Boris was cavalier with assurances he made" and had failed to put together a "strong unifying team".
Home Secretary Theresa May: The 59-year-old has overtaken Boris Johnson as the bookies' favourite to win the contest. She's held the Home Office brief - often something of a poisoned chalice - since 2010, and is a former Tory party chairman. She says she can offer the "strong leadership" and unity the UK needs, and promised a "positive vision" for the country's future. She backed staying in the EU.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove: The 48-year-old former newspaper columnist was a key figure in the party's modernisation that led to its return to power in 2010. He was a reforming, if controversial, education secretary between 2010 and 2014, and now holds the Ministry of Justice brief. He was a leading player in the Brexit campaign - which put a strain on his close friendship with David Cameron. He has pitched himself as the candidate that can provide "unity and change."
Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb: The 43-year-old was promoted to the cabinet in 2014 as Welsh secretary, and boosted his profile earlier this year when he took over as work and pensions secretary. A rising star of the Tory party he has promised to unite the party and country following the referendum result and provide stability. Raised on a council estate by a single mother, he has a back story to which many Tory MPs are attracted. Backed Remain.
Energy minister Andrea Leadsom: The 53-year-old former banker and fund manager was one of the stars of the Leave campaign. A former district councillor, she became MP for South Northamptonshire in 2010 and - after serving as a junior Treasury minister and as a member of the Treasury select committee - she was made a junior minister in the energy and climate change department in May last year.
Former cabinet minister Liam Fox: It's second time around for the 54-year-old ex-defence secretary and GP, who came a close third in the 2005 leadership contest. His cabinet career was cut short in 2011 when he resigned following a lobbying row. A Brexit campaigner, and on the right of the party, he has said whoever becomes PM must accept "the instruction" of the British people and not "try to backslide" over EU membership.
Launching her leadership bid in central London, Mrs May - one of the longest-serving home secretaries in history - said the UK needed "strong proven leadership to steer us through this period of economic and political uncertainty and to negotiate the best possible terms as we leave the European Union".
She also pitched herself as the candidate that could "unite our party and our country" and offer "a bold, new positive vision" for the country's future that "works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us".
Although Mrs May - the daughter of a vicar - backed Remain she maintained a low profile during the campaign and, in her speech, insisted she would not back away from last week's vote. "Brexit is Brexit."
But she said Article 50 - the formal mechanism for leaving the EU - should not be triggered until the UK had agreed its negotiating strategy - probably before the end of year.
She set out plans for a new government department to oversee the UK's withdrawal from the EU - and said it would be headed by a pro-Brexit cabinet-level minister.
And she said she would, as prime minister, abandon plans to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights, saying she did not expect there to be a parliamentary majority for it.
Mrs May acknowledged she was "not a showy politician", adding: "I just get on with the job in front of me" - suggesting that was what the country wanted.
Former Defence Secretary Liam Fox, meanwhile, said any Brexit deal which included free movement of people would be "a betrayal" of the referendum result, as he kicked off his campaign.
He said free movement was a political preference which needed to challenged. And he said the UK should approach the post-EU era with "confidence".
Energy minister Andrea Leadsom, who also announced her candidacy on Thursday, told the BBC that delivering Brexit was an "absolutely top priority" for the next prime minister.
"It's not just about leaving something, it's about re-engaging with the rest of the world," she said.
She also said she had a "real desire to see the social justice in our country turned around" and said her focus, if elected, would be on mental health, improving skills and getting young people into work.
Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb, who was the first to launch his leadership bid and who campaigned to stay in the EU, vowed to make curbing immigration a "red line" in Brexit negotiations - and he ruled out a snap general election and a second EU referendum.
The former Welsh secretary said stability was his aim. He also pledged to confront economic and social divisions across the UK, build a strong economy and improve trade links, if he won the contest.
Speaking before Mr Johnson's decision to pull out Mrs May joked: "Boris negotiated in Europe. I seem to remember last time he did a deal with the Germans, he came back with three nearly-new water cannon."
The then London mayor purchased the riot control water cannon following the riots in the capital city in 2011 - but Mrs May eventually withheld permission for their use.
In a speech that had been billed as his campaign launch on Thursday, Mr Johnson, who has long harboured ambitions to be leader and prime minister, announced he would not be standing.
Mr Johnson said the next Conservative leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.
"Having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in Parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me," he said, just moments before the noon deadline passed.
Dean Yeats, from Forfar, is alleged to have caused the blaze at King George V Pumping Station on Thursday.
Prosecutors allege he wilfully set fire to a piece of paper and threw it on the pumping station.
It is alleged this caused a fire to take effect, causing "extensive damage." Mr Yeats made no plea or declaration at Dundee Sheriff Court.
The case was continued for further examination and he was granted bail.
It will take at least five years for employment in advanced economies to return to pre-crisis levels, it said.
The ILO also noted that in 45 of the 118 countries it examined, the risk of social unrest was rising.
Separately, the OECD research body said G20 leaders meeting in Cannes this week need to take "bold decisions".
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said the rescue plan announced by EU leaders on 26 October had been an important first step, but the measures must be implemented "promptly and forcefully".
The OECD's message to world leaders came as it predicted a sharp slowdown in growth in the eurozone and warned that some countries in the 17-nation bloc were likely to face negative growth.
In its World of Work Report 2011, the ILO said a stalled global economic recovery had begun to "dramatically affect" labour markets.
It said approximately 80 million net new jobs would be needed over the next two years to get back to pre-crisis employment levels.
But it said the recent slowdown in growth suggested that only half the jobs needed would be created.
"We have reached the moment of truth. We have a brief window of opportunity to avoid a major double-dip in employment," said Raymond Torres from the ILO.
The group also measured levels of discontent over the lack of jobs and anger over perceptions that the burden of the crisis was not being fairly shared.
It said scores of countries faced the possibility of social unrest, particularly those in the EU and the Arab region.
Meanwhile, in its latest projections for G20 economies, the OECD forecast growth in the eurozone of 1.6% this year, slowing to 0.3% next year.
In May, it had forecast growth of 2% per year in both 2011 and 2012.
It also cut its growth forecasts for the US to 1.7% in 2011 and 1.8% in 2012. It had previously expected growth of 2.6% and 3.1% respectively.
The organisation called for G20 leaders, who meet on Thursday and Friday, to act quickly.
"Much of the current weakness is due to a generalised loss of confidence in the ability of policymakers to put in place appropriate responses," the OECD said.
"It is therefore imperative to act decisively to restore confidence and to implement appropriate policies to restore longer-term fiscal sustainability."
It also called for the eurozone to cut interest rates.
Labour tabled an amendment saying there "should" be a full ban as part of an environment debate headed by new cabinet secretary Roseanna Cunningham.
After SNP members abstained, the motion was passed by 32 votes to 29.
Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said there needed to be proper research and a public consultation before a decision was taken on fracking.
Scottish Labour said it would be "outrageous" if the SNP "ignored" the result of the vote.
The amendment is not a binding policy, but represents a defeat for the SNP, which supports a moratorium on fracking but stops short of backing a full ban.
The SNP's manifesto for the Holyrood election committed to there being no fracking in Scotland "unless it can be proven beyond doubt that there is no risk to health, communities or the environment".
Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens favour an immediate and outright ban, while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she was "highly sceptical" about the technique.
Ms Cunningham's motion for Wednesday's debate asked parliament to agree that "Scotland's stunning natural environment is one of its most precious assets", and says that "wise and productive use of the country's natural capital is at the heart of a strong, sustainable, low-carbon economy".
She told MSPs that the SNP is "deeply sceptical" about fracking, but said there was "thorough" scientific research being undertaken on the issue.
The environment secretary also pledged to "build resilience" against flooding, and to "work with nature" in habitat restoration and species protection.
On land reform, Ms Cunningham called for greater transparency in land ownership and management, and said consultation over a mandatory public register of landowners would begin this summer.
Labour MSP Claudia Beamish put forward an amendment asking parliament to "recognise that, to meet Scotland's climate change goals and protect the environment, there must be an outright ban on fracking in Scotland".
She said parliament could "send out a very clear signal" by backing a ban, and warned that the SNP was faced with a choice "to side with centre left parties like Labour to stop fracking, or side with the Tories to go ahead with this dangerous plan".
A number of other Labour MSPs also spoke out backing the motion, with several repeating the slogan "no ifs, no buts, no fracking".
Green MSP Andy Wightman lodged another amendment which noted, among other things, that fracking is "incompatible with Scotland's low-carbon ambitions".
Mr Wightman also addressed land reform, describing it as "a process of changing the legal, political, economic and fiscal relationship between society and land across urban, rural and marine Scotland" and calling for "radical and ongoing reform to democratise land".
Calling for a new Land Reform Bill to be introduced in the new term of Holyrood, Mr Wightman called for measures to democratise land use with an emphasis on fairness.
He also called for the council tax to be scrapped and said action should be taken to improve engagement with local democracy.
However, several Scottish Conservatives, led by new MSP Maurice Golden, spoke out in favour of fracking.
Mr Golden said the "left wing cabal" of Labour, the Greens and the Lib Dems was "out of step" with scientific evidence and what consumers want and need.
He said fracking would boost jobs and the economy, and called on the SNP to "make up its mind" and stop blocking it.
Mr Golden said there was a greater impact on the environment from shale gas being shipped to Scotland than there would be from extracting it locally.
SNP energy minister Paul Wheelhouse said he was disappointed that Labour had tried to "sideline" the environment debate by putting fracking front and centre.
He said the government was "deeply sceptical" about fracking, but said its position was "clear"; that there would be "no fracking in Scotland" unless there was clear evidence that it would cause no harm.
He said scientific research and a full public consultation would be carried out.
When members came to vote, SNP members abstained, meaning Labour's amendment passed by 32 votes to 29, with 62 members abstaining.
Mr Wightman's amendment was also passed, before the motion itself was passed by 32 votes to 30, with 61 abstentions.

The mare had been stranded outside in Murwillumbah, one of many flood-hit towns in New South Wales.
Leigh Shepherd and his son, Rob, heard the horse in distress sometime after midnight on Friday.
They swam to the animal before using a power cord to coax it back to their house and up an external stairwell.
"She came halfway through the doorway and just collapsed," Leigh Shepherd said.
He said his son, 21, held the horse's head above water on a boogie board for more than five hours.
The horse has since been reunited with its owners on a neighbouring property.
Veterinarian Greg Baldwin praised the men's "huge effort", expecting the horse to make a full recovery.
"She's back at the stable," he said.
"Considering what she went through, she's going pretty well."
Elgin City remain third but had their game at bottom side Cowdenbeath called off because of a waterlogged pitch.
Fourth-placed Annan Athletic were thumped 4-1 by Berwick Rangers.
Montrose moved to within a point of Annan with a 2-1 win over Stirling Albion, while Clyde stumbled again after a 0-0 draw with Edinburgh City.
The draw in Edinburgh means that Barry Ferguson's side have now gone nine league games without a victory and are five points behind the last promotion play-off place.
Forfar consolidated their position at the top with Josh Peters scoring the only goal of the match on 33 minutes when he latched on to Gavin Swankie's through ball to fire home.
It was the Loons' first league win over the Smokies in three attempts this season and means that Gary Bollan's side are unbeaten in their last nine league matches.
Steve Thomson scored a brace in six first-half minutes to put Berwick in control at home to Annan before Peter Weatherson reduced the arrears before the half-time interval.
Jordan Orru restored the two-goal cushion with a left-footed strike with three minutes remaining and Thomson completed his hat-trick in stoppage-time as Berwick jumped two places to seventh spot.
Montrose made it three wins on the bounce despite Blair Henderson putting the visiting Binos in front from the penalty spot after Kieran McWalter brought down Willie Robertson.
Chris Templeman levelled after he slammed in Andrew Steeves' through ball after the break before Graham Webster won all three points with a penalty of his own with nine minutes remaining.
There was still time for Stirling midfielder Calvin Colquhoun to receive his marching orders for two bookable offences.
Figures released by Scottish Care suggest three quarters of homes (77%) have vacancies.
Almost nine in 10 (89%) of care at home and housing support services had positions lying empty.
The Scottish government said it was committed to raising the status of carers and developing new models of care provision.
Scottish Care, which represents independent care providers, said staffing problems were contributing to hospital bed blocking.
The survey consulted 250 care services looking after 250,000 older people.
A quarter of care homes surveyed found it more difficult to recruit care staff this year while 64% found it as difficult as the previous year.
The survey, carried out in January and February this year, found more than one in five (22%) of staff leave each year on average and 44% of the homes rely on recruiting support workers from the European Union.
The position for care at home services was similarly bleak, with 90% of organisations reporting difficulty filling support worker vacancies.
More than half (58%) said recruitment is harder this year than last and only 3% said it was easier.
A third of staff leave annually and around one in 10 of all staff are from the European Union.
Scottish Care chief executive Dr Donald Macaskill said the "worrying" results had been worsening since 2015 and were leaving gaps in care and increasing delayed discharge from hospitals.
He said: "The recruitment and retention crisis facing the care sector makes the planning and delivery of reliable, high quality and sustainable care very difficult for care providers.
"However, it also means that individuals in receipt of services have their choices compromised, whether that is in terms of who they want to deliver their care and when, or whether they even receive a care service at all.
"We know that the lack of staff is directly impacting on services' ability to support people most in need, including those who are ready to be discharged from hospitals.
"Providers are regularly having to turn down care packages because they simply do not have the staff to deliver this care."
He said the introduction of the Scottish Living Wage of £8.45 per hour for care workers last October was a first step by the Scottish government but more needed to be done.
He added: "The social care workforce must be seen as a key national and local political priority. We can see no other profession which is so critical to the lives and wellbeing of so many, but which is so under-recognised and under-valued.
"If this doesn't change, the future of care provision looks very bleak indeed."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Raising the status of social care as a profession, and attracting and retaining the right people, is key to delivering quality care.
"That is why we have taken action to protect care services, including paying the Living Wage to adult care workers, boosting the income of up to 40,000 people.
"In the coming year there will be almost half a billion pounds of NHS investment in social care and integration, underlining that we are treating this as a key priority.
"We are also working with Cosla [local government organisation] and care providers to deliver major reforms to adult social care, which will consider workforce issues and new models of care and support."
The Conservative leader said that outcome would mean a "strong, stable government that continues with a long-term economic plan that is working".
Mr Cameron also told the BBC he had a "duty" to warn of the "danger" of a Labour minority reliant on SNP backing.
And he said he would "put the country first" whatever the outcome of the general election.
Mr Cameron is continuing a 36-hour campaign drive ahead of polls opening.
Opinion polls suggest the 2015 general election is a very close race, with the Conservatives and Labour within just points of each other.
The polls also indicate neither of the two parties are on course to win a majority, meaning they would either have to form a minority government or do a deal with another, smaller, party.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
The Conservatives need 23 seats more than they won at the 2010 election to secure a majority in the House of Commons.
Later, Mr Cameron will say a Conservative government will ensure "British people will have security at every stage of their lives".
He will say: "If Britain delivers a Conservative government, I make this promise: Britain will continue on the road to a brighter future. Our policies will deliver more childcare and jobs, help people buy their homes, cut taxes, and give people the retirement deserve."
Warning of the alternatives, he will add: "A vote for UKIP or the Lib Dems opens the back door to a Labour government: It will result in Ed Miliband as prime minister, unable to survive without SNP support. And that support will cost you money. They will take us back to square one, with heavy borrowing and higher taxes for more welfare. An economy facing ruin."
Speaking to Radio 4's Today in Wales, Mr Cameron said he was still "fighting" to win enough seats to form a government on his own.
He said: "People still have the chance to shape the election with their vote and we can achieve an overall majority that gives Britain the strong stable government that continues with a long-term economic plan that is working, the jobs, the growth, the houses we want to build, the childcare we want to provide, the good retirement we want to provide for our people, those things are in reach."
And he said he wanted to talk about policies until the polls closed.
"We should talk about the results after they're in and talk about the issues before the election takes place," Mr Cameron said.
Discussing the role of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Mr Cameron said: "They've got every right to vote, of course they do.
"But I've got every right to warn of the dangers of a bunch of nationalists who don't want our country to succeed."
Mr Cameron was also questioned about what he would do if there was no clear winner after Thursday's election.
"People know with me that in 2010 we didn't win a majority and I put the country first," he said.
"I formed the first coalition government for 70 years because I wanted to provide strong and stable government for Britain.
"I will always put the country first and always do what I can to provide that strong and stable government."
The prime minister was also asked about reports in the Daily Mirror that former Prime Minister Sir John Major had told a dinner that Britain must "acknowledge the fact we have a pretty substantial underclass".
"There are parts of our country where we have people who have not worked for two generations and whose children do not expect to work," Sir John is reported as saying.
Mr Cameron said Sir John was "absolutely right to make these points".
He said he was not satisfied with the situation and that was why he wanted another five years in office to follow through on reforms to welfare and education.

The artist was introduced as Sir Ivan Morrison as he stepped forward to be dubbed a knight by the Prince of Wales.
He received his knighthood for services to the music industry and tourism in Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland musician has collected many awards since emerging with the group Them in the 1960s.
But there appeared to be a sense of wonder about his latest achievement.
"For 53 years I've been in the business - that's not bad for a blue-eyed soul singer from east Belfast," he said.
During his career, he has wowed audiences at a host of grand venues ranging from the Royal Albert Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, but admitted his preference was for the more intimate gigs.
"I enjoy that the most - playing a small club - that's really what I do," he said.
"The bigger places you have to do for financial survival reasons, let me put it that way, but the bigger places enable me to play small clubs occasionally."
The 70-year-old said he had a brief chat with Prince Charles as he received his award and was asked about his future plans.
"He was just saying, was I still writing? And he said: 'You're not going to retire any time soon?' And I said: 'No, I'm not, I'm going to keep it going while I can'."
Asked if fans could still call him Van The Man now that he has a knighthood, the singer laughed and said "Well, take your pick".
Morrison grew up in Belfast, where his father, a shipyard worker, was said to have had one of the best record collections in the city.
Astral Weeks, which regularly features in critics' lists of all-time great albums, was recorded in three days and set the template for the rest of his career with its mix of poetic lyrics, often inspired by his native country, jazz improvisation, Celtic folk and soulful vocals.
But the singer said his favourite album was the 1980 production Common One.
"It's a mixture of different components - a bit of funk, blues, gospel - it's quite a fusion, and plus I seemed to tap into something, and that particular band seemed to have a rapport," he added.
He was joined for the ceremony by his daughter, Shana Morrison, also a musician.

Given, 36, is the highest-capped player in Republic history having played 125 times for his country.
The Aston Villa man said that his decision to quit international football had been "extremely difficult".
"I have dedicated 16 years of my life to my country and I have a great affinity with Giovanni Trapattoni's squad," he added.
"I'd like to thank Giovanni, Marco (Tardelli) and Alan Kelly for their support during my time with the team.
Shay Given: 125 caps from 1996-2012
Robbie Keane: 120 caps from 1998 to the present day
Kevin Kilbane: 110 caps from 1997 to the present day
Steve Staunton: 102 caps from 1988-2005
Damien Duff: 100 caps from 1998 to the present day
"I will continue to be Ireland's biggest fan and wish the lads well as they embark upon their new campaign."
Given made his international debut aged 19 in the 2-0 friendly defeat to Russia, and quickly established himself as the long-term replacement for Paddy Bonner.
After continuing to excel for club and country, he played every minute at the World Cup in 2002 but was unable to stop Ireland going out in the second round on penalties to Spain.
It would be another decade before he played tournament football again, with the end of the wait proving bittersweet as both he and his nation endured a difficult time at Euro 2012 as Ireland exited at the group stage after they lost all three games and conceded nine goals.
While he did confirm his international retirement, a Football Association of Ireland statement added that Given had indicated that he would be prepared to "make himself available" in any emergencies in the future.
The FAI statement added the Trapattoni had spoken "at length" with Given on Monday afternoon before the retirement was confirmed.
Trapattoni praised Given for his "outstanding contributions to Ireland during his 16-year international career".
"I understand the difficult decision that Shay had to make and appreciate all of his efforts during his international career," said the Republic manager.
"He is a strong player with a great character and his love of playing for his country always shone through.
"It has been a pleasure to work with him during my time with the team. I wish him the very best in his future."
The space rock, which is called 1998 QE2, is so large that it is orbited by its own moon.
It made its closest approach to our planet at 20:59 GMT (21:59 BST), but scientists had said there would be no chance it would hit.
Instead it kept a safe distance - at closest, about 5,800,000 km (3,600,000 miles).
That is about 200 times more distant than the asteroid "near-miss" that occurred in February - but Friday's passing space rock is more than 50,000 times larger.
Prof Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast, said: "It's a big one. And there are very few of these objects known - there are probably only about 600 or so of this size or larger in near-Earth space.
"And importantly, if something this size did hit us one day in the future, it is extremely likely it would cause global environmental devastation, so it is important to try and understand these objects."
This fly-by gave astronomers the chance to study the rocky mass in detail.
Using radar telescopes, they were due to record a series of high-resolution images.
They want to find out what it is made of, and exactly where in the Solar System it came from.
Prof Fitzsimmons said: "We already know from the radar measurements, coupled with its brightness, that it appears to be a relatively dark asteroid - that it's come from the outer part of the asteroid belt."
Early analysis has already revealed that the asteroid has its own moon: it is being orbited by another smaller piece of rock that is about 600m (2000ft) across.
About 15% of asteroids that are large are "binary" systems like this.
This celestial event was not visible to the naked eye, but space enthusiasts with even a modest telescope might be able to witness the pass.
After this, asteroid 1998 QE2 will hurtle back out into deep space; Friday's visit will be its closest approach for at least two centuries.
Researchers are becoming increasingly interested in potential hazards in space.
So far they have counted more than 9,000 near-Earth asteroids, and they spot another 800 new space rocks on average each year.
Tony Andreu's second half brace ensured they ended a poor week with three points.
Morton were unable to recreate their League Cup win over the tangerines though Sean Dillon turned a Ross Forbes free kick past his keeper to ruin Cammy Bell's clean sheet.
The victory means Ray McKinnon's men move to within six points of leaders Queen of the South.
In a match of few chances a single goal difference was always likely to be enough and so it proved.
However, Andreu could have scored much earlier as he spurned United's best first half chance.
Racing onto a through ball his shot was snuffed out by Andy McNeil in the Morton goal.
As the opening 45 wore on, Jim Duffy's side began to feel their way into proceedings and Aiden Nesbitt hit the post with an effort from the edge of the area.
Cammy Bell was beaten and Ton skipper Thomas O'Ware spooned the rebound over the bar.
Blair Spittal did well to work space in the box as United began the second half smartly.
But his shot was spectacularly saved by McNeil.
Morton struggled to impose themselves in the second period and the hosts eventually opened the scoring just beyond the hour.
Andreu's effort found the corner despite the best efforts of McNeil.
But for one or two shaky moments in defence United deserved their win and Andreu's second saw him capitalise on poor defending.
He bore down on McNeil and calmly slotted home.
Dillon's late own goal came too late for Morton as United ensured revenge for their midweek defeat at Cappielow.

Eilish MacSherry, 41, of Brookmount Heights, Omagh was a serving off-duty PSNI officer at the time of the crash.
Paul Mills, a 49-year-old father of two from Killyclogher was killed in the collision on Omagh's Clanabogan Road on 10 October 2015.
She admitted four charges including driving while unfit and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
Members of Mr Mills' family including his widow, Anne, wept in the public gallery of Dungannon Crown Court as the pleas were entered on Friday.
A defence solicitor said that "alcohol dependency is a feature of this case" but that his client "has been dry since this accident happened".
A prosecution lawyer said a victim impact statement would be obtained from the Mills family before sentencing in February 2017.
The judge told MacSherry that "the offences are serious and have had a devastating affect, as they always do, on the family involved".
Releasing her on bail until the sentencing hearing, he warned her "a significant custodial sentence in this case will be inevitable".
Air stewards and passengers assisted at the birth, which took place on a flight from Guinea to Burkina Faso.
The mother and baby, named Kadiju, were taken to hospital when the Boeing 737 safely landed in the Burkina Faso capital of Ouagadougou on Friday.
Both are now reported to be tired but in good health.
"The cabin crew noticed that a woman passenger named Nafi Diaby, [who was] 28 weeks into her pregnancy, was suffering childbirth pains," a Turkish Airlines statement said.

"They promptly responded to assist her childbirth during the flight."
Most airlines allow expectant mothers to travel until they are 36 weeks pregnant but require a signed letter from a doctor from 28 weeks onwards which confirms the expected date of birth.
Bones from archaeological sites in Orkney show voles were cooked or boiled for food, or possibly for pest control.
This is the first evidence for the exploitation of rodents by Neolithic people in Europe, say scientists.
Rodents were consumed later in history, with the dormouse regarded as a delicacy during Roman times.
The Orkney vole - found only on the archipelago - is thought to be a subspecies of the European common vole.
Charred bones suggest the vole was cooked, most likely for food.
The remains were found with waste products from other foods, suggesting voles may have been roasted in the fire. Alternatively, they may have been cooked or boiled in a pot.
Dr Jerry Herman, curator of mammals at National Museums of Scotland, said evidence from excavations showed there were large amounts of rodent remains in human dwellings.
This suggests that the piles of bone fragments - mainly from voles but also some field mice - were the result of human intervention of some sort.
"The remains were getting into the refuse of the inhabitants and in very large numbers and over a considerable period of time - several hundred years," he said.
"Because some of the remains were burnt - we think that they had been roasted - it may be that the inhabitants were actually eating them and that explained how they got into their living space in such numbers."
The voles were quite small and "would be no more than a mouthful" to eat, but "a perfectly good source of protein", said Dr Herman.
The remains were originally excavated at the well known Skara Brae site in the 1970s.
Scientists sifted through nearly 60,000 rodent bones and teeth to study their origins.
The findings are published in the journal, Royal Society Open Science.
A recent genetic study on the same samples deduced that the vole was introduced to Orkney direct from what is now Belgium.
It is thought the rodents were brought to the island by sea along with cattle and deer by early farmers or traders.

Regent Superbowl and the indoor market in Great Yarmouth were engulfed by a seven-hour blaze on Friday.
The attraction in Regent Road was on the town's main tourist thoroughfare.
Jim Palmer, of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: "To enable the town to return to normal, we have to start bringing this building down now."
Great Yarmouth Borough Council said work had been completed on Saturday to make the site structurally safe and to allow firefighters in the ground floor to dampen down hot spots over the weekend.
It said following expert advice, material containing asbestos would now need to be cleared from the site.
"A clean-up crew wearing protective gear are starting to remove the debris and another team has started to board up windows [opposite]," it said in a statement.
A stretch of the pedestrianised road will be blocked until an inspection on Monday and shops inside the cordon cannot re-open until "further notice".
At the blaze's height, the pillar of smoke billowing from the country's oldest working bowling alley could be seen up to 11 miles away.
People and businesses across the area have rallied around to support the market's shop owners, with an online fundraising page already generating around £1,700 of its £2,000 target.
The building's owner, Philip Thompson, said he believed some of the 40 traders were uninsured and plans to re-build the complex in time for the next summer season.
"I am just so concerned about the people who trade underneath in the market," he said.
"I feel responsible that we've got to get this open as soon as possible.
"I've had to pay £25,000 just to make it safe overnight."
An investigation into the cause is ongoing.
This is "to ensure it was thorough, properly conducted and to identify good practice", Scotland Yard said.
But the force also defended its handling of the case, which included an allegation of rape made against the former Cabinet minister.
Lord Brittan died unaware that police had dropped the rape inquiry against him, which was reopened last year.
The Metropolitan Police Service [MPS] has published the key findings from a report ordered after the force apologised to Lady Brittan earlier this month, for not informing her husband of their findings before his death.
The Crown Prosecution Service found in July 2013 that there was not enough evidence for a prosecution over the claim that Lord Brittan had raped a 19-year-old female student in 1967.
Officers interviewed Lord Brittan, who was suffering from terminal cancer, in May 2014, but no charges were brought.
Labour MP Tom Watson had also written a letter to Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders in April 2014, calling for a full review of all abuse allegations made against the peer.
But this was only passed to police on 2 June, says the Met, after the former home secretary was questioned.
Lord Brittan, whose career included two years as home secretary in Margaret Thatcher's government, died in January aged 75.
Investigating officers told the complainant in April that there would not have been a prosecution for rape had Lord Brittan still been alive - a move which a Met spokesman says was "premature", as the CPS did not confirm it would not pursue the case until June.
However, Lord Brittan's legal team were not told at the same time at the complainant was.
In its statement, Scotland Yard said it had delayed telling the peer because the CPS had been asked to carry out a final review of the case.
The Met said it "accepts that Lord Brittan's solicitors should have been informed at the same time as the complainant was informed".
"This would have permitted them to clarify the position with Lady Brittan, for which the MPS apologised in a letter to her solicitors on 6 October 2015."
Relatives of people who die while under investigation would not normally be contacted after their death and would not be told what the outcome would have been, or whether charges would have been brought, it said.
But it added: "The MPS recognises - as it did throughout the dialogue with the CPS - that the public interest in the case required a different approach."
The report also highlights concerns about current legislation which allows suspects to be publicly named before charge, whilst those bringing allegations remain anonymous.
It "creates an imbalance which should be addressed," the report said. "The Commissioner has already stated that he believes there should be a ban on identifying suspects before charge to remedy this imbalance."
Meanwhile, UKIP leader Nigel Farage told LBC radio that the Met had "failed horribly" over the handling of the investigation and that Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe should consider "going into retirement".
And the Home Affairs Committee has "invited" both Mr Watson and Sir Bernard to appear before it on Wednesday, to give evidence on the investigation into Lord Brittan.
For much of the week the chart race was too close to call, with Rag'N'Bone Man's Human giving Stormzy a run for his money.
But he clinched the top spot after notching up 69,000 combined sales of his debut album in its opening week.
Tinie Tempah's Disc-Overy is the only other grime-influenced record to have reached the top of the chart, in 2010.
"Honestly, I wish I could take every person who bought and streamed the album out with me, have dinner with them, dedicate a whole night to them," Stormzy said after finding out he was number one on the official albums chart.
We're big fans of pizza, Stormz, so we'll see you at the Italian round the corner later.
His ascent to number one was helped a great deal by his own campaigning on social media.
As the week progressed, he started retweeting more and more of his fans who had bought the album on CD - a format which influences the chart more than streaming.
But the album also achieved the most first week streams for a number one in chart history, according to the Official Charts Company.
Here are seven things you need to know about this now record-breaking rapper.
1. He used to work in an oil refinery
"I was working on an oil refinery in quality assurance," he told the BBC.
"It was quite a niche job, so they had to train me up for 10 months. I was in the office, doing the quality checks. It was a lot of responsibility for the age I was."
But, as it turned out, it wasn't for him.
"The music was picking up, so I had to make the decision - project engineer or musician. I decided to take the music path and here we are."
2. He has made up with the Brit Awards
Last year, Stormzy criticised the Brit Awards for its lack of ethnic minority nominees in his track One Take Freestyle.
It led to the Brits chairman Ged Doherty inviting him to discuss how grime could be better represented at the ceremony.
"We had a very very constructive talk, he showed me the categories of eligibility, I told him how these could be improved," Stormzy said.
In turn, this year's nominations list was much more diverse, with four out of the five nominees for best male not being white.
(In the end, the only white nominee, David Bowie, won in that category. But still, baby steps.)
Stormzy himself was nominated for best breakthrough act this year and performed with Ed Sheeran at the ceremony.
The Brits appearance helped to give him a boost in sales this week - and he wasn't the only one. Emeli Sande and Bruno Mars also saw a huge increase in sales after their performances.
3. Religion plays a big role in his life
We're used to US musicians regularly referencing God in their music and their awards acceptance speeches.
But it's less common for religion to crop up heavily in the lyrics of UK grime artists.
In Blinded by your Grace Part 2, he sings: "Lord I've been broken / Although I'm not worthy / You fixed me, now I'm blinded by your grace / You came and saved me."
This is maybe a good example of why his album reaches out beyond the usual confines of the genre.
4. He gets recognised in Amsterdam. And at the school gates.
"The strangest place I've been recognised was actually Amsterdam," he told the BBC.
"I went there with a few of my mates and it wasn't even just the one person, it was a few people going 'Oh, Stormzy's in Amsterdam', and I was thinking, 'No way, you know me out here'."
"I went to pick up my nephew from primary school and one of the teachers there stopped me and said, 'Yeah, my son listens to you'. That's quite an awkward thing. Quite surreal."
5. His album was self-released
We mentioned earlier that Stormzy took issue with the Brits for its previous lack of diversity, which perhaps speaks to a wider issue within the music industry about the struggle of grime to break through into the mainstream.
So Stormzy took things into his own hands, and released his debut album (the one that's just reached number one) through his own independent label Merky Records.
He's not the first artist to have done this recently - Skepta did the same thing, as did Chance the Rapper in the US.
6. He got six A* GCSEs
Which is pretty impressive.
"My time at school, I was quite smart in school so I got good grades, but I was also a bit of a class clown," he told BBC Breakfast.
"I was playing that fine borderline between getting excluded but the teachers kind of loving me, but I had a great time in school.
As a child, Stormzy was also quite a bookworm - he also told the programme how he used to collect badges from his school library for every book he read over the summer.
7. Believe it or not, Stormzy is not his real name
He is actually called Michael Omari.
Also, he calls his mum "Mumsy".
Stormzy and Mumzy. Amazing.

His dismissal came after blasts in Tianjin killed at least 135 people.
The authorities began investigating Mr Yang last week because he allegedly allowed companies to operate without a licence for dangerous chemicals.
But there has been no word to suggest his sacking is linked to the disaster.
The industrial accident earlier this month was one of the worst in China's history.
China's top prosecutor is reported to be investigating all involved officials for dereliction of duty and other crimes.
Thousands of people in the city saw their homes either destroyed or made too unsafe to live in.
The blasts took place at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin's port, and required a massive rescue operation and clean-up involving thousands of police and soldiers.
It is still unclear what caused the explosions.
The two owners of the plant are alleged to have used their connections to obtain safety licences to store hazardous materials, even though the site was too close to residential areas.
Correspondents say that the breaches of law and discipline that Mr Yang is accused of are generally used by the governing party as a euphemism for corruption.
At least 34 people are still missing while more than 500 are being treated in hospital, Tianjin officials say.
Mr Yang, 61, worked in the city for 18 years and became one of its vice mayors before beginning employment at the work safety agency in 2012.
Industrial accidents occur frequently in China, correspondents say, with corruption considered to be one of the main reasons for inadequate safety enforcement.
The blasts provoked uproar among local residents, with many alleging that government collusion with the firm led to pollutants contaminating Tianjin's air and water. The city is home to about 15 million people.
Mr Yang's son, Yang Hui, is also being investigated by the authorities, the South China Morning Post reported. It said that he was well connected in Tianjin because of his father.

Prime Minister David Cameron is currently in Brussels for an EU summit.
He aims to return with a reform package he can put to the British people in a referendum on EU membership in June.
He wants to restrict migration and limit benefits for those coming from Central and Eastern Europe.
The Irish ambassador to the UK, Dan Mulhall, told Bloomberg television that Ireland's arrangements with the UK regarding Irish nationals working there were "separate".
"We will continue to discuss this issue because it's recognised on both sides this is a particular issue which is a little bit separate from migration from other European countries which is a more recent phenomenon for Britain," he said.
"The issue of Irish people living in the UK predates the EU by many years. We have, of course, discussed this issue with the British government, and depending on what the outcome of this whole process might be, obviously it is a matter that will have to be continued.
"We'll have to continue to discuss it with Britain and with other member states in order to ensure as far as possible that Irish people continue to enjoy the same advantages as they currently enjoy."
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said he is "quite confident" European leaders can reach a deal with Britain over its future membership of the EU.
Mr Cameron said: "We've got some important work to do today and tomorrow and it's going to be hard.
"I'll be battling for Britain. If we can get a good deal I'll take that deal. But I will not take a deal that doesn't meet what we need.
"I think it's much more important to get this right than to do anything in a rush. But with goodwill, with hard work, we can get a better deal for Britain."
Enterprise Engineering Services called in administrators last month following a significant drop in orders.
A total of 54 people were made redundant at its Aberdeen base, with four more in Caithness.
The remaining 10 employees will transfer to Wood Group and remain based at the company's Craigshaw Road HQ.

More than 200 schools were closed in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on Wednesday and police advised motorists to take care when travelling on untreated roads.
More bad weather is expected, with Met Office yellow "be aware" warnings for rain and wind in place across the UK.
Gusts of up to 80mph (129km/h) were recorded on Wednesday evening.

The Met Office warnings for high wind cover almost all of England and Wales and remain in force until 06:00 GMT Thursday.
On Wednesday evening, winds gusting up to 60mph (97km/h) were recorded across the Isles of Scilly and the far south west of Cornwall.
Exposed coastal areas of north west Wales had gusts of 70mph (113km/h), with the tops of hills there experiencing gusts of 80mph (129km/h).
BBC weather presenter John Hammond said: "Wet and windy weather is going to sweep across the whole of the country on Wednesday evening and overnight."
Heavy rain will spread from west to east and could cause localised flooding in some areas, he added.
Northern Ireland was affected by the rain from mid-afternoon on Wednesday, with the east coast of England being reached by midnight.
Scotland and Northern Ireland could also see some more snow falling as well as rain, our forecaster said.
The harsh weather is set to continue on Thursday and into the weekend.
Met Office spokesman Jonathan Hunter said: "Tomorrow we may see wintry showers across the UK with sleet, snow and rain.

Below are a number of other traffic information sources.
Terry Perkins, 68, is charged with breaking into Chatila jewellers in old Bond Street, Mayfair, in 2010.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court were told he and Daniel Jones, 59, posed as workmen during the raid, which bore similarities to the 2015 heist.
On Friday, Judge Joanna Korner QC discharged the jury. A retrial is due to take place in December.
Perkins denies burglary, while Jones pleaded guilty to the Chatila burglary at an earlier hearing.
The pair, both from Enfield, are already serving sentences for conspiring to commit burglary in the Hatton Garden raid - believed to be the biggest heist in English legal history.
A third man, Charles Matthews, 54, of Virginia Water in Surrey, is accused of handling stolen goods from the Chatila burglary, which he has denied.
The Falcon-9 craft touched down late on Monday night, about 10km from its launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
It is not the first spacecraft to land a booster vertically; that feat was claimed by the much smaller New Shepard rocket in Texas last month.
Nonetheless the Falcon-9 flight, which also went twice as high as New Shepard, is a milestone towards reusing rockets.
SpaceX aims to slash the cost of private space operations with such reusable components - but the company has not launched a rocket since one exploded in June.
On that occasion an unmanned Falcon-9 broke apart in flames minutes after lifting off from Cape Canaveral, with debris tumbling out of the sky into the Atlantic Ocean.
The rocket, which had 18 straight successes prior to the fateful flight, was in the process of sending a cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS).
SpaceX has a $1.6bn (£1.08bn; €1.47bn) contract with Nasa to send supplies to the ISS.
On Monday night, local time, the upgraded 23-storey-tall rocket took off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station with the main stage returning about 10 minutes later to a landing site about 9.65km (6 miles) south of the launch pad.
Near the peak of its flight, at an altitude of some 200km (125 miles), it propelled the rocket's second stage - laden with 11 communications satellites - into space.
The flawless launch on Monday is a major success for privately-owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, the California-based company set up and run by high-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.
Mr Musk has said the ability to return its rockets to Earth so they can be reused and reflown would hugely reduce his company's operational costs in the growing but highly competitive private space launch industry.
SpaceX employees broke out in celebration as they watched a live stream of the 47m-tall (156ft) white booster slowly descend to earth in the form of a glowing orange ball.
"Welcome back, baby!," Musk said in a celebratory tweet.
SpaceX commentators described the launch and return - the first time an orbital rocket successfully achieved a controlled landing on Earth - as "incredibly exciting".
"This was a first for us at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and I can't even begin to describe the joy the team feels right now having been a part of this historic first-stage rocket landing," the top officer at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Brig Gen Wayne Monteith, said in a statement.
SpaceX is aiming to revolutionise the rocket industry, which up until now has lost millions of dollars in discarded machinery and valuable rocket parts after each launch.
Several earlier attempts to land the Falcon 9's first stage on an ocean platform have failed.
The 26-year-old was stabbed through a ground floor window on Astbury Chase, Darwen at about 22:35 BST on Wednesday.
He fled upstairs with a hand injury, but the two men broke in and left him with further wounds to his head, back, shoulder, torso and chest.
He was left "extremely shaken", said Lancashire Police, and is in hospital.

Rodney Smith, 67, of Quarry Hill, St Leonards, Sussex, was accused of arson with intent to endanger life after the blaze at St Michael's Hospice in July.
He was a patient at the hospice at the time of the fire and was terminally ill, police said.
Mr Smith was later remanded to Lewes Prison, where he was being cared for in the hospital wing.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said Mr Smith, who died last Monday and was due to appear before Lewes Crown Court on Friday, was the only suspect in the arson investigation.
Police have said Mr Smith's death is not being treated as suspicious.
Two patients, Jill Moon, 62 and David Denness, 81, suffered smoke inhalation in the fire and died later in hospital.
In a statement, St Michael's Hospice said it had been "extremely saddened" by the fire.
"The hospice extends its sympathy to all those affected by the fire and in particular its condolences to the families and friends of the two people who sadly passed away," it said.

China's economy expanded 7% in the second quarter compared to a year ago - unchanged from the previous quarter when growth was at the lowest level since the global financial crisis.
The data failed to excite investors.
The Shanghai Composite closed down 3% at 3,805.70 while the Hang Seng index fell 0.3% to 25,055.76.
Industrial output figures, which measure production at factories, workshops and mines, also beat forecasts, rising 6.8% in June from the previous year.
Julian Evans-Pritchard, China economist at Capital Economics, said: "There are good reasons to think that the latest [growth] figures are mirroring a genuine stabilisation.
"There is growing evidence of an improvement in the wider economy."
Investors were cautious ahead of the congressional testimony by US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen due later on Wednesday.
They will be looking for hints regarding the timing of an interest rate rise in the US.
Ms Yellen said last week that the Fed was looking to lift rates at some point this year, but an unexpected drop in US retail sales in June raised concerns that the world's top economy may be slowing.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 closed up 0.4% at 20,463.33 after the central bank decided to leave interest rates unchanged but slightly trim its economic growth projection.

His daughter travelled to England for an abortion and was advised to bring the foetus back to Northern Ireland in a cooler bag for a post mortem examination.
He spoke to BBC News NI's Talkback programme.
Doctor: Foetus in cooler bag final straw
Speaking in the European Parliament, he said the EU should stop boats arriving, as Australia did.
He told European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker that unless he gave back control of the UK borders, Britain would vote to leave the EU.
He was responding to Mr Juncker's "state of the union" annual address.
Mr Juncker said tackling the migration crisis was "a matter of humanity and human dignity", as he urged EU member states to accept their share of an additional 120,000 refugees.
"It's 160,000 refugees in total that Europeans have to take into their arms and I really hope that this time everyone will be on board - no rhetoric, action is what is needed," he told MEPs.
He broke off from his speech to brand the views of UK MEPs who had been heckling him "worthless".
"You can interrupt me from time to time," said the European Commission president. "I will not at each time respond to what you are saying because what you are saying is worthless."
Reports suggested that the rebuke was aimed at UKIP leader Nigel Farage, but Mr Farage claimed it was directed at Scottish UKIP MEP David Coburn.
In his speech, Mr Farage said: "The majority that are coming are economic migrants.
"In addition we see, as I warned earlier, evidence that Isis are now using this route to put their jihadists on European soil.
"We must be mad to take this risk with the cohesion of our societies.
"If we want to help genuine refugees, if we want to protect our societies, if we want to stop the criminal trafficking gangs from benefiting as they are, we must stop the boats coming as the Australians did and then we can assess who qualifies for refugee status."
Mr Farage has called for the creation of off-shore reception centres to assess whether migrants coming to Europe have legitimate claims or not.
Speaking on the BBC News Channel, he said "the vast majority of those who come to Europe would not qualify" as refugees, if a refugee is someone who is in direct fear of persecution for their ethnicity or religious beliefs.
He added that the only way to stop people drowning in the Mediterranean was by telling them "if you come by this route you will not be accepted".
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has refused to take part in the EU quota system for refugees, under which France and Germany will take 55,000 extra refugees.
He has said Britain will accept 20,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years - and hit back at criticism from Labour and the SNP that it was not enough.
He told MPs: "We have to use our head and our heart.
"We have committed to taking 20,000 people - I want us to get on with that."
Spurs hope to move to their new 61,000-seat home for the 2018-19 season.
The planning proposal featured aspects tied in to a deal that will see at least two NFL matches at the stadium each season in a 10-year period.
The plans must be formally approved by the London Mayor and the current incumbent in that position, Boris Johnson, is a fan of the project.
"Stadium Update: We can announce that Haringey Council's planning sub committee has approved the club's new stadium proposals," the Premier League club tweeted.
The stadium will be built as part of a development that would also include the land their current White Hart Lane ground, which has a capacity of 36,240, stands on, with work due to begin in spring 2016.
"A key driver of the design of the revised scheme has been to address and improve crowd safety and crowd flow issues along the High Road," a recent Spurs statement explained.
"This issue has long been a concern for the club and is largely caused by the location of three buildings on the High Road: Edmonton Dispensary, The Red House, and the former White Hart Public House.
"The current planning permission does allow for increased space behind the three buildings but the crowd flow modelling shows that spectators would be much more likely to continue to take the most direct route along the High Road, with people regularly moving into the bus lane and the road.
"Given the increased number of spectators, not simply for football but for the NFL and other visitor attractions, this is simply not a situation the club can accept."
Tottenham intend to play away from their home ground for the 2017-18 season "to enable a faster construction of the new stadium" before opening it in time for the 2018-19 campaign.
Michael Steele, one of the so-called "Essex Boys" killers jailed in 1998, was beaten with a metal pot in a row over the use of a telephone in 2010.
Steele, 73, was left with damaged teeth and a fractured eye socket at HMP Whitemoor, near Peterborough.
He is suing the government, which argued the case would not succeed, for £100,000.
But at Central London County Court, District Judge Ian Avent said the claim would be allowed to go ahead to a full hearing.
For more on this story and other news from Essex
Steele was jailed for life for the 1996 gangland killings, which became known as the Rettendon Range Rover Murders.
The case inspired the 2000 movie Essex Boys, starring Sean Bean.
The central London hearing was told how Steele had argued with a Muslim prisoner - referred to only as Miller - in January 2010, after being accused of jumping the queue to use a telephone.
The following day he was in a kitchen cooking his dinner when he was hit on the head from behind with what is believed to have been a metal pot, the court was told.
In his claim, Steele said he was told by senior staff that Muslim "gangs" in the prison are "impossible to control or discipline" because of their numbers.
He claimed prison bosses should have done more to protect him from the attack.
Judge Avent told the hearing: "Mr Steele's claim is predicated on the basis that Muslim prisoners were a violent threat and that the prison was the most volatile of the high security dispersal prisons."
The Ministry of Justice has argued the claim had no chance of succeeding.
WHO representative Rui Gama Vaz, speaking in the capital Abuja, said it was a "spectacular success story".
Nigeria won praise for its swift response after a Liberian diplomat brought the disease there in July.
The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.
An estimated 70% of those infected have died in those countries.
The WHO officially declared Senegal Ebola-free on Friday.
Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg to discuss how to strengthen their response to the threat posed by Ebola.
Speaking on the sidelines, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he expected the meeting to appoint a co-ordinator to galvanise the EU's response to the epidemic.
"My colleagues are unanimous in saying that this idea of a European co-ordinator for the fight against Ebola is a good idea. The name will be chosen in the coming days. I think it's a very important step."
European countries have committed more than 500m euros (£400m; $600m) but the UK is pressing to double that amount.
The money is being sought to help reinforce over-stretched healthcare systems in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and to mitigate the damage Ebola is doing to their economies.
Earlier, the Spanish government said a nurse who became the first person to contract Ebola outside West Africa had tested negative for the virus.
How not to catch Ebola:
Ebola basics

What virus has hit - in maps
Uncertainty over figures
The result suggests Teresa Romero, 44, is no longer infected although a second test is required before she can be declared free of Ebola.
Ms Romero contracted the virus when treating two infected patients in a Madrid hospital.
In another development, US health officials said 43 people being closely monitored after coming into contact with Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan had been given the all-clear.
They were subject to twice-daily monitoring during the 21-day incubation period.
However, others who cared for Mr Duncan remain at risk including two nurses he infected and their close contacts. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said 120 people were still being monitored, with their waiting period due to end on 7 November.
The WHO can declare an Ebola outbreak over if two incubation periods of 21 days pass with no new cases. The last reported case in Nigeria - Africa's most populous country - was discovered on 5 September.
"The virus is gone for now. The outbreak in Nigeria has been defeated," WHO Nigerian representative Rui Gama Vaz said on Monday.
"This is a spectacular success story that shows to the world that Ebola can be contained but we must be clear that we have only won a battle, the war will only end when West Africa is also declared free of Ebola."
The outbreak there began when Patrick Sawyer, an American-Liberian citizen, was diagnosed with the illness in July.
Nigeria declared a national public health emergency and Mr Sawyer later died of the disease, followed by seven Nigerians.
These included Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, who diagnosed Mr Sawyer and is credited with helping to contain the outbreak at its source.
Dr Adadevoh's son, Bankole Cardoso, told the BBC that because Mr Sawyer had been so quickly diagnosed, Nigeria was able to trace all those who could possibly have contracted the disease from him.
"That was probably the difference between us and our West African neighbours," he said.
John Vertefeuille, from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said that Nigeria had taken the right steps to contain the outbreak.
"Nigeria acted quickly and early and on a large scale," he told AFP news agency.
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who chairs the African Union Commission, told the BBC that countries affected by Ebola would have to deal with the consequences for years to come.
"A lot of things are almost at a standstill. They are not going to be producing as much food as they would have produced, they are diverting some of the money for education to other things to stamp out the epidemic," she said.
Ebola virus: Busting the myths
The 56-year-old woman was in a Ford Focus when it collided with a Ford Fiesta in Lower Road, Higham, on 5 December.
She died at the scene and two men were also seriously injured.
Ian Harvey, 23, of Burdett Avenue, Gravesend, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. He will appear at Medway Magistrates' Court on 1 June.
There were reports linking the 25-year-old wing with a switch to Munster but Leinster announced on Tuesday that the Ireland player had agreed a new deal.
Fitzgerald will miss the remainder of this season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Ireland's final Six Nations game against Italy.
The wing was ruled out for much of 2012 because of a neck problem and also suffered a bad knee injury in 2009.
That knee injury ruled him from November 2009 to the following autumn.
However, Fitzgerald is expected to be fit for the start of next season and has agreed new terms with the three-time Heineken Cup winners.
"I'm delighted to commit my future here. It is hugely frustrating to miss the run-in to the campaign but I'm looking forward to beginning my rehab over the coming weeks and getting back in a blue shirt next season," said Fitzgerald.
Leinster coach Joe Schmidt added that he believed Fitzgerald's "best years are ahead of him".
The former Stoke City trainee had only scored two league goals in his career before Tuesday but doubled that tally in a crazy opening 45 minutes that ended 6-1 to the hosts.
Sam Hughes, who opened the scoring after five minutes, scored two while Ross Laffayette struck for Aldershot.
After the break, Chester's Ross Hannah scored a double of his own, either side of Dan Walker pulling one back.
The win, which saw the hosts move up to 15th in the National League, was Chester's biggest since reforming in 2010.
In terms of Chester's overall history, it was well short of the old club's record 12-0 win set in 1936 against York City, but this was their highest-scoring victory since winning 8-2 at home to Peterborough in Division Four in August 1972.
They did win by a seven-goal margin when they beat Fulham 7-0, also at their old home at Sealand Road, in April 1989.
Alabi became the first Chester player to score four goals in a game since Andy Milner in a 6-0 home win over Doncaster in February 1997.
And all in front of a gate of just 1,425 - the club's lowest league crowd in the six years since they were reformed.

Aldershot Town boss Barry Smith told BBC Surrey: "It's hard to explain it but it's totally unacceptable performance and we apologise to all the Aldershot Town fans because that was a performance that we're not proud of.
"I take full responsibility and it's me who has put that team out onto the pitch and it wasn't good enough. I felt it was right for me to apologise to them personally.
"I think Damon Lathrope has been a big miss because he's the one player who can get the ball down and pass it to get us into good positions. We will be in tomorrow to make sure the boys know that performance was unacceptable."

The 39-year-old was arrested in Stoke-on-Trent by detectives from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit.
Two properties in the city are also being searched in connection with the investigation.
Police said the arrest was "pre-planned and intelligence-led and there is no risk to the public's safety".
The suspect is being held in the West Midlands, and officers are being supported by Staffordshire Police.

On Wednesday more than 30 flights were either cancelled or diverted, with at least one international flight directed to land in Mumbai.
On Tuesday more than 100 flights were affected as visibility fell to near-zero levels, officials said.
Disruption due to fog in winter has become routine in north India.
Dozens of trains were also delayed by the poor weather.
Fog started to descend on Delhi airport before midnight on Tuesday and thickened early on Wednesday morning, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
Runway visibility dropped to less than 25 metres at the third runway, forcing authorities to suspend operations there, the agency quoted airport sources as saying.
On Wednesday, an Air India flight from Hong Kong was diverted to Mumbai while seven flights were cancelled.
The Meteorological Office says that cold and foggy conditions will continue for the next few days.
Dense fog has also enveloped many parts of the northern states of Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, reports said.
They criticised the system, saying some patients were not being treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
The complaint was made in a letter signed by eight senior ward sisters.
The Belfast Health Trust said it was concerned that "any patient should be treated in a way that compromises their dignity and for that we are sorry".
"We treat the issues raised in the letter extremely seriously and will be meeting with the staff to review the content of the letter as a matter of urgency," the trust added.
The nurses' letter, seen by the BBC, criticises the standard of care some patients are receiving and it reminds management that what is being practiced goes against policy and patient standards.
It was addressed to Brian Barry, the director for trauma and orthopaedics, at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH).
Copies have also been sent to senior directors, including those in nursing, orthopaedics and consultant orthopaedic surgeons at Musgrave Park Hospital.
The letter describes elderly and vulnerable men and women being transferred late at night from the RVH to Musgrave Park Hospital in south Belfast.
The patients, who all have fractures, are being moved as there are not enough beds for them to remain at the RVH.
The letter said that in the past fortnight, of the 22 patients that have been transferred, only one was moved within normal working hours.
The letter describes how a 98-year-old woman arrived at Musgrave Park Hospital close to midnight on one night last week.
Nurses were not expecting the patient, who they said was in a very confused state.
It is not clear who agreed to the transfer, as according to the nurses, when the patient arrived there were no beds available.
As a result, the woman had to be nursed alongside male patients, many of whom were also said to be confused.
According to those who wrote the letter, the woman would not have had the "cognitive ability to consent to either the transfer or being cared for in a male bay" - all of which is contrary to patient standards and hospital policy.
The nurses allege the Belfast Health Trust is not complying with its own policy and procedures.
They said following a series of incidents in 2014, the following agreements and policies were put in place, which have been ignored at times during the past fortnight:
· All patients who are suitable for transfer to Musgrave Park Hospital should be identified by the time of staff's morning bed meeting
· Musgrave Park Hospital will be contacted to request bed availability
· All transfers should take place before 19:00 in the evening
· Elderly patients must not be transferred out-of-hours
· The decision regarding transfer will be made by the fracture team and not by anyone outside the team
In a statement to the BBC, the Belfast Health Trust said: "We acknowledge that some patients have been transferred outside of trust guidance, and we are in the process of investigating the reasons for this.
"The transfer of patients across sites should take place in an appropriate manner and at an appropriate time, however we acknowledge that there have been difficulties over the last number of weeks due to unscheduled care pressures and availability of suitable patient transfer."
In January, BBC Northern Ireland reported how more than 100 orthopaedic operations were cancelled to cater for an overflow of patients from the RVH. The figure related to scheduled operations since the beginning of November last year.
The Belfast Health Trust confirmed that, at one stage, 35 fracture patients were in Musgrave Park Hospital who, in normal circumstances, would have been at the RVH.
Clearly the unavailability of beds at Musgrave Park was impacting on scheduled orthopaedic operations.
While the health trust has described moving patients between hospitals as part of its escalation plan, many of those who work in the sector say that by its definition, such a plan should only be used as a temporary measure.
The nurses' letter appears to support a BBC revelation in January that the escalation plan had become the norm rather than the exception.
It reveals that, since January 2015, approximately 140 patients were told their elective surgery had been cancelled. Some of these patients, according to the letter, have had multiple cancellations.
A man who had his surgery cancelled in February told the BBC he had been travelling to the hospital when he got a call not to bother coming. He is still waiting for a new date.
In its statement, Belfast Health Trust said there had been an "increase in demand for unscheduled care over the winter and fracture services has been no exception".
"We are required to provide care to emergency fracture patients as a priority, and this necessitates the transfer of fracture patients to Musgrave Park Hospital, were they can be appropriately cared for prior to discharge.
"Unfortunately this has led to the cancellation of elective orthopaedic patients to provide capacity to care for the emergency patients. We regret this and we endeavour to reschedule patients as soon as possible."
The trust added that it believes all patients transferred to Musgrave Park Hospital have "received appropriate levels of care".
One year ago, the federal Liberals swept to victory in Canada and Justin Trudeau became prime minister-elect.
At the time, it was considered a surprise, decisive, win.
Twelve months later Mr Trudeau remains in an extended honeymoon with the voting public, who like his accessible style and ability to garner glowing international reviews.
Canadians are also feeling optimistic about the direction of their country, more so than a number of other nations.
Lorne Bozinoff, founder of the polling firm Forum Research, says the prime minister has done well "both in substance and style" over the past year - charming Canadians with his open manner and moving ahead on key election commitments.
"The Liberals - and Justin Trudeau in particular - are off to a very good start," he said.
The prime minister has launched an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada, has followed through on a promise to bring in 30,000 Syrian refugees, has reduced taxes on middle-class Canadians, and has an equal number of men and women in his cabinet - a move justified with his now famous "because it's 2015" quip during his swearing-in 4 November.
Still, there are possible clouds on the horizon. His first year in office has been successful but not trouble-free.
A number of his cabinet ministers and senior aides have been caught in minor spending scandals. His self-proclaimed feminist credentials have been tested by an appearance at a gender-segregated mosque in Ottawa.
His government has faced repeated questions over a CA$15bn ($11.4bn/£9.3bn) deal to sell light-armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia despite fierce criticism from human rights groups.
The Liberals have failed to follow through on an order by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to fix funding disparities for child welfare services on First Nations.
Indigenous Canadians are growing increasingly impatient at how long it is taking Mr Trudeau's government to move forward on fixing persistent First Nations problems, from education to water infrastructure.
The federal public service union is threatening to pull out of stalled contract talks.
And provincial premiers are grumbling openly about a coming federal carbon tax and arguing for more money for healthcare funding.
Those bumps in the road have yet to be reflected in Mr Trudeau's polling. He currently holds a 56% approval rating.
"People will cut you a lot more more slack if they just like a person," said Mr Bozinoff. "He has a reservoir of goodwill going into a second year."
While Mr Trudeau promised "sunny ways" on election night, he shows flashes of his pugilistic side.
He told the BBC proudly in November that he left his Canadian critics "in the dust".
In May, he elbowed a fellow member of Parliament and tugged the arm of another after growing impatient over what was seen as an attempt to slow the course of a vote in the House of Commons.
Even before becoming prime minister, he demonstrated a willingness to be politically ruthless.
In 2015, Mr Trudeau permanently expelled two MPs accused of sexual harassment from the Liberal fold. The year before, he removed all Liberal senators from the party caucus to show he was serious about reducing partisanship in the Senate.
It is that part of his temperament that should prove useful as he enters into a more difficult second year.
Two opposition parties - the Conservatives and the New Democrats - will have new leaders in place ready to challenge Mr Trudeau in 2017 as his government faces increasingly difficult policy challenges.
His party has promised to legalize marijuana in 2017, though they still have to figure out how the potential CA$10bn ($7.6bn/£ 6.2bn market for pot will be regulated.
The Liberals will have to follow through on the politically divisive promise to change the way Canadians vote in federal elections.
And Mr Trudeau will have to make decisions on hot-button issues like energy pipelines and anti-terrorism laws.
"He's getting into the type of issues in this second year that are less consensus based," Mr Bozinoff said."The free ride the liberals have been getting - that will disappear."
Congregants were arriving for prayer early on Saturday when the explosion went off at the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center in a Minneapolis suburb.
The FBI are investigating what Mr Dayton called "a terrible, dastardly, cowardly" act.
They said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device.
No one was injured in Saturday's attack at 0500 local time (0900 GMT), but the imam's office was heavily damaged.
As many as 20 people were inside at the time of the explosion.
Mohamed Omar, the executive director of the mosque, told CBS News a member of the congregation saw a truck flee the centre's car park at high speed after the blast.
The office's windows were shattered either by an explosive or another object was thrown inside, authorities said.
"The destruction done to this sacred site is just unthinkable, unforgivable. I hope and pray the perpetrator will be caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," Mr Dayton said at a news conference outside the mosque, located in Bloomington, Minnesota.
He was joined by state Representative Ilhan Omar, the first Somali-American legislator in the US, and US Representative Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress.
"What makes Minnesota unlike no other [state] is how we accept and love members of our community, no matter the religion they practise, the language they speak, or where they come from," Mr Ellison said.
He added "hate is becoming too prevalent in our society" and that it must be countered "with love and the values we hold so dear".
The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is offering a $10,000 (£7,700) reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the attack.
The organisation has also urged mosques and Islamic centres across the country to increase security in the wake of Saturday's attack.
The Muslim American Society of Minnesota also said it would offer a $10,000 reward for information on the attacker.
A fundraising page created to help pay for costs to repair the mosque raised more than $40,000 as of Monday morning.
An estimated 3.3 million Muslims live in the US, around 1% of the population, according to a recent Pew Research Center report.
Minnesota is home to the largest population of Somalis living in the US and the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center largely serves people from the Somali community.
Minnesota authorities reported a record high of 14 anti-Muslim bias incidents in 2016, The Star Tribune reported.
The striker opened the scoring in the last minute of the first half with a header from Christian Fuchs' free-kick.
He made it two just after the restart with another header and Ben Mee's own goal completed the scoring.
The win capped off a great week for the Foxes, who also won 3-0 at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Slimani, who arrived for a reported £29m from Sporting Lisbon last month, had a Premier League debut to remember.
The 28-year-old Algerian should have opened his account when he somehow failed to connect with a deep cross from Marc Albrighton before he got off the mark for his new club.
Matt Lowton needlessly fouled Albrighton on the left-hand edge of the area in the last minute of the first half and Slimani powerfully headed home Fuchs' free-kick.
He was celebrating his second goal in the 48th minute with another header after Jamie Vardy flicked on Riyad Mahrez's low cross after the Clarets gave away the ball in their own half.
His goals were not the only thing that stood out on Saturday, though, as he linked up well with fellow Algerian Mahrez and strike partner Vardy.
Manager Claudio Ranieri, whose team had picked up only four points from their first four league matches before Saturday, will also have been pleased with the industry his new striker showed when closing down the Burnley defence.
It was a hard afternoon for Sean Dyche's side.
They could have got the day's first goal when Steven Defour headed straight at Ron-Robert Zieler after Scott Arfield headed George Boyd's cross across goal to him.
However, they never recovered from conceding the first goal and were probably fortunate to only lose by a three-goal margin.
Dyche started with a five-man midfield but this left Andre Gray isolated. Once the Foxes scored their second goal, the Burnley striker was a mere spectator as the hosts showed why they were last season's champions.
The Clarets could do little to stop Mahrez and he claimed the assist for the third goal when Mee put though his own goal from his low cross.
Burnley substitute Johann Berg Gudmundsson's deflected free-kick forced a good save from Zieler in the dying minutes and Dyche will have at least been pleased with how his side continued to compete with the game over as a contest.
"The reality was four minutes of madness - two before half-time and two after," Dyche said.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri: "I am very happy with the result and the performance of the players. I was curious to see how my players reacted after the Champions League and they reacted very well.
"After the victory in the Champions League, it was very important to continue in the Premier League.
"We scored three goals and Islam Slimani scored twice. I think our fans are very happy. It's important Slimani continues to score because if he only scores in the first match we have a problem. He is a good lad and very happy."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "We gave away a really poor free-kick and they score. You go into half-time and try and change things and calm things down. Then we give away another poor goal.
"You are in trouble after that because we're playing against a very good team. We have to keep learning and keep moving forward."
Leicester host Ranieri's former side Chelsea in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, while Burnley are back in action with a home game against Watford a week on Monday.

"Pre-season can be hugely lucrative," football finance expert Rob Wilson told BBC Sport. "A club does a tour, they sell more products, there's more branding and more sponsors start to get involved.
"If they can generate £5m or £10m from a two-week tour, that's more than what some of the other clubs will get."
According to Wilson, from Sheffield Hallam University, China is an attractive proposition for the future due to its position as an "untapped" but "serious player" in the football market.
"What we've seen in the past 10 years is big clubs going further and further afield," Wilson added. "They are looking to leverage new markets, like China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Australia is not doing too bad."
Champions Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Swansea and Southampton were among the teams to play in the United States.
However, Premier League clubs' trips could have a negative effect in the long run, according to USA Today sports columnist Martin Rogers.
"There is interest - the games are pretty well attended," said Rogers. "But as the American fan becomes sophisticated, they'll soon get tired of a second-string Chelsea side or a second-string Liverpool side.
"They know the difference between an exhibition game and a Major League Soccer game."
Rhodri Glyn Thomas called on the next government of Wales to protect the institution and said politicians should "acknowledge that the library fulfils a unique role, which is irreplaceable".
The Aberystwyth facility had coped with nearly a decade of cuts, he said.
He stressed it now needed a new strategy and budget from government.
"The National Library plays a very important role in the life of the nation and must be given the resources to fulfil its responsibilities," he added.
Ruth Smeeth held the Stoke-on-Trent North seat for Labour, but with a majority cut by 3,399.
"We need jobs, we desperately, desperately need better paid [jobs] and no more zero-hour contracts, no more minimum wage jobs," she said.
She added Stoke was the only city in the country "negatively affected" by the HS2 rail project.
However, Ms Smeeth said she would support HS2 if a new deal meant it would bring investment to Stoke.
"I will be doing everything that I can to make sure that we get the investment we need and if that's HS2 then I desperately want it," she said.
Ms Smeeth takes over from Joan Walley who has stood down.
Sitting Labour MPs in Staffordshire saw their majorities shrink while the Conservatives made safe seats even safer in last week's General Election.
Labour saw its majority in Newcastle-under-Lyme shrink to 65, with sitting MP Paul Farrelly narrowly holding off the Conservatives.
Stoke-on-Trent South was also held by Labour, but with 1,591 fewer votes.
The Labour vote also dropped slightly in Stoke Central, but the party was still 5,179 votes clear of UKIP, who pushed the Conservatives into third place.
Evha Jannath, from Leicester, was on a school trip on Tuesday when she fell from a boat on the Splash Canyon ride.
While the park will open on Saturday, the ride will remain shut along with ones that overlook it as a mark respect to her family, officials said.
The park in Staffordshire has been closed since for police and Health and Safety Executive investigations.
Jonathan Hughes, vice-chair of the Staffordshire Branch of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, said the HSE would be talking to staff, the theme park operator, contractors and manufacturers of the ride to see how it operated.
"In addition, they will be looking at the history of the ride - its maintenance records, inspections, tests and details of any works carried out on the ride," he said.
Elsewhere in England, theme park operator Merlin Entertainments confirmed earlier it had reopened the Congo River Rapids at Alton Towers, Legoland Windsor's Vikings River Splash and Thorpe Park's Rumba Rapids, which had all been closed as a precautionary measure following the schoolgirl's death.
An inquest into Evha's death is expected to open next week, after a post-mortem examination which is expected to take place on Monday, Staffordshire Police said.
In a statement, the park said: "The terrible incident on Tuesday has left a family grieving and we continue to offer our deepest thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Evha Jannath.
"Whilst the HSE and police authority carry on with their important work, we will reopen Drayton Manor Park on Saturday 13th May. We continue to offer support to all those affected, including colleagues, and will provide all necessary assistance to the relevant authorities.
"The Splash Canyon water ride will not be reopened at this time."
Emergency services were called after a woman and four men entered the River Medina, next to Newport's Seaclose Park festival site, on Friday.
The woman was assisted by a passing vessel, three men made it ashore but one was unaccounted for.
However, the coastguard said it was confident no-one was left in the water.
An "extensive search", involving two coastguard rescue teams, the coastguard helicopter, the police boat and Cowes lifeboat, was carried out between 22:00 BST on Friday and 00:40 on Saturday, a coastguard spokeswoman said.
It happened at about 04:00 BST at the Bijou Club, in Chapel Street, Manchester, which bills itself as a "celebrity hang-out".
Police said the victim, 31, was in a serious but stable condition.
"This was a particularly nasty assault, during which this victim sustained serious head injuries which at first were thought to be life threatening," said Det Ch Insp Elizabeth Hopkinson.
"Fortunately that is no longer the case, but that should take nothing away from the severity of this attack."
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen what happened to come forward.
The Bijou Club opened in 2009 and said celebrity guests had included Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Tulisa, Drake, Rita Ora, Little Mix and The Wanted.
The club has not been available to comment.
The Syrian migrant family's ordeal happened after they were turned back at the French border in 2014.
The woman was allegedly left bleeding at a station in Brig, without medical help, despite her husband's pleas.
The train later reached Domodossola in Italy, where she was rushed to hospital but the baby girl was already dead.
According to Italian doctors, the baby could have been saved if Swiss authorities had acted right away.
The family were on a Milan-Paris night train, but were taken off at Pontarlier, in France.
Then Swiss border guards escorted them on a long bus journey from the border to Brig train station in Switzerland, not far from the Italian border.
Reports say the 22-year-old woman's waters broke during that bus journey. Seven months pregnant, she was travelling with her husband and three small children.
The family eventually got asylum in Italy. Most Syrian migrants are entitled to asylum in Europe under international humanitarian law.
It is not yet clear what charges the guard will face. He was in charge of the border guard team at the time.
The charges depend partly on whether prosecutors can determine where the unborn child died.
The Swiss Border Guard Service says it has improved medical assistance for migrants since the 2014 incident.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
The media operate in a hostile environment. Somalia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a journalist, says US-based Human Rights Watch.
The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists includes Somalia in its index of countries where the murders of journalists go unpunished. "Elusive armed insurgent groups have terrorised the media beyond the reach of Somalia's fragile law," it says.
Journalists and media outlets complain about intimidation at the hands of state security agencies.
Nevertheless, professionally-run media outlets have emerged - in particular, FM radios with no explicit factional links.
The TV and press sectors are weak and radio is the dominant medium. There are around 20 radio stations, but no national, domestic broadcaster.
Many listeners tune to Somali-language media based abroad, in particular the BBC Somali service. The BBC transmits on shortwave and on FM in Mogadishu (91.1), the Somaliland capital Hargeisa (89.0), and elsewhere.
Somali satellite channels are a significant part of the TV scene. Most of these are based in the UK.
Somalis abroad maintain an active online presence. But domestic web access is held back by poor infrastructure. There are more than 163,000 internet users (Internetlivestats.com, September 2014), representing 1.5 per cent of the population.
Social media use is on the rise. The most popular destinations are Twitter and Facebook. Islamists use social media to promote their aims while their opponents mount strong rebuttals.
In secessionist Somaliland and Puntland the authorities maintain a tight hold on broadcasting.
The party has put proposals for a referendum on the terms of leaving the European Union at the heart of the document.
Like the rest of the Welsh manifestos, they include policies that would need to be put into practice in the assembly rather than Westminster because those areas of responsibility are devolved to Wales.
The party has one AM, Kirsty Williams, who is currently education secretary in an otherwise Labour Welsh Government.
You can read more about UK pledges in the manifesto here. This guide concentrates on pledges in the Welsh document which are specific to Wales.
"Wales simply can't afford unchecked Conservative government for the next five years", the manifesto says.
"You don't have to settle for a mean-spirited Britain, with run-down hospitals and social care. You could have a final say on the Brexit deal - with the option to stay in if you think it's a bad deal."
"If you want an open, tolerant and united Britain, if you want a strong opposition in parliament, if you want a prosperous and hopeful Wales, vote Liberal Democrat on 8th June," the manifesto adds.
Liberal Democrat pledges on Brexit include:
Pledges include:
Education is devolved, and the party's only AM - Kirsty Williams - is the Welsh Government's education secretary.
The section restates existing policy on tuition fees, which will see support for living costs but end fee grants.

The woman was found at St David's Church, Carmarthen, in the early hours of Tuesday.
Dyfed-Powys Police said a 29-year-old man has been charged with rape and attempted grievous bodily harm.
He appeared at Llanelli Magistrates' Court on Saturday and was remanded in custody.
The move is part of a government campaign to crack down on corruption and extravagance.
Expensive watches, gold coins and liquor are among the items affected, said the Xinhua news agency.
The giving of gifts, often to gain favour with officials, is common during lunar new year, which begins next week.
But China's TV watchdog, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (Sarft), said that adverts on some channels had been encouraging people to give luxury items.
This, it said, had promoted "incorrect values" and encouraged a bad social ethos, Xinhua reports.
It quoted a Sarft official as saying that the move was in response to repeated calls by the authorities for people to practise thrift and shun extravagance and waste.
New Communist party leader Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to tackle corruption and has banned displays of extravagance at party and army functions.
The new restrictions coincide with a pledge by the government to tackle the growing and politically sensitive gap between rich and poor in the country.
Its plan includes raising the minimum wage to 40% of average urban salaries by 2015.
The government says that the reforms are necessary to make income distribution fairer. Correspondents say the move reflects Communist party concern that growing inequalities could threaten political stability.
Amidst growing demands, especially from his ruling BJP party's rank-and-file, for strong action against Pakistan - who India blames for the attack - the Indian prime minister managed to turn attention from incessant warmongering towards long-term challenges facing the region.
Pakistan has strongly denied involvement in the Uri attack.
In his speech to his party cadres, Mr Modi challenged ordinary Pakistani's to a race on development as opposed to one on military engagement.
"I want to tell the people of Pakistan, India is ready to fight you. If you have the strength, come forward to fight against poverty. Let's see who wins. Let's see who is able to defeat poverty and illiteracy first, Pakistan or India," he said.
What's behind Kashmir's deadliest militant raid in years?
Why India needs cool heads after Kashmir attack
Indian army’s anger over Kashmir killings
Days after India lampooned Pakistan as the "Ivy League" of training centres for terrorists, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj used her speech to the UN General Assembly on Monday night to deliver a stinging rebuttal to Pakistani President Nawaz Sharif.
"Let me state unequivocally that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and will always remain so. My firm advice to Pakistan is stop dreaming about Kashmir," Ms Swaraj said.
Nawaz Sharif, in his earlier address, had paid tribute to Burhan Wani, the separatist militant whose killing triggered the current wave of violence in Kashmir.
Mr Sharif had talked of the excessive use of force by Indian security forces after protests linked to the death of Wani, only to be reminded by Ms Swaraj that "Pakistan would do well to introspect and see what egregious abuses they are perpetrating in their own country".
She was referring to the Pakistani province Balochistan, where Pakistani security forces have suppressed local dissent.
It is possibly the first time India has raised the Baloch issue at the UN forum, underscoring the Modi government's game-plan of going on the offensive to shape counter-narratives about human rights.
It is a terrain India had long ceded to Pakistan but Delhi is now signalling that it won't be playing by the old rules.
Taking India's campaign to internationally isolate Pakistan even further, Sushma Swaraj said that "in our midst, there are nations that still speak the language of terrorism, that nurture it, peddle it, and export it. To shelter terrorists has become their calling card. We must identify these nations and hold them to account."
She linked Pakistan's activities in Kashmir with the latest bombing in New York, whose perpetrator is reported to have "studied" at a Pakistani Islamic school, or madrassa.
But very much like Mr Modi, she also was statesmanlike in her articulation, suggesting that India has "tried to talk to Pakistan as friends to resolve issues" and has "extended hands of friendship in the last two years" only to be rewarded with terrorism in return.
Referring to repeated attempts by India to reach out to Pakistan, Ms Swaraj said India had attempted a paradigm of friendship without any precedent.
With these speeches, the Modi government is reaching out to multiple audiences.
In India to those who are baying for blood and Indian policy-makers cautioning that direct military confrontation may not resolve underlying problems. In Pakistan, to ordinary Pakistanis, to do some soul-searching as to why India has managed to move so far ahead while their country seems stuck in a time-warp.
To the outside world, Delhi's message is categorical that India has a leadership which is capable of looking at the larger strategic picture and managing Pakistan's capacity for nuisance on its own terms.
Like its predecessors, the Modi government may have recognised that there are few good military options against Pakistan.
But it is different in terms of its success in altering the terms of engagement with Pakistan. As Nawaz Sharif's failed UN outreach exemplifies, Pakistan's global isolation on Kashmir is almost complete.
Moreover, with his UN diatribe Mr Sharif has come across as a weak leader who can be effectively handled by a junior Indian diplomat at the UN.
Mr Modi is nothing if not a risk-taker. He took risks in reaching out to Nawaz Sharif early on in his term and now he seems to be taking a risk in bringing some costs to bear on Pakistan for its misadventures in Kashmir.
Mr Modi's own speech last week and Ms Swaraj's response to Nawaz Sharif at the UN reflects a sound understanding of not only the challenges facing India's Pakistan policy but also the opportunities that have emerged in recent years as a result of India's rising global stature.
Pakistan will clearly continue to be a nuisance in the near future but Mr Modi's India is gearing up for a larger stage and bigger stakes.

The team at the University of Surrey showed that chemicals produced when cocaine is broken down in the body could be detected in the fingerprint.
They argue the test could be useful in prisons, drug abuse clinics and even for routine testing in the workplace.
However, the current kit may be impractical as it is both the size of a washing machine and very expensive.
Drug-testing normally relies on a fluid sample such as blood, urine or saliva.
However, the researchers believe the fingerprint method would be quicker, less invasive and much harder to fake as the donor's identity would be contained in the fingerprint.
Their study, published in the journal Analyst, hunts for two chemicals benzoylecgonine and methylecgonine.
They are produced when cocaine is broken down by the body, however, they can be released in tiny quantities in sweat.
These chemicals would be left on the paper used to take the fingerprint.
A sample of the fingerprint is then analysed by a mass spectrometer, which detects chemicals based on their atomic size.
The team showed they could produce the same results as a conventional blood test.
Dr Melanie Bailey, a lecturer in analytical and forensic science, told the BBC: "The mass spectrometer is the same size as a washing machine and what we are currently using is £400,000 to buy so it is not cheap."
She said there are cheaper products on the market which raise the "exciting possibility that it is a test you could make portable one day".
Dr Bailey added: "I would have thought it useful for workplace testing, somewhere where you want high-throughput."
Workplace drug screening is already used in some industries, particular those where safety is key such as operating heavy machinery or driving.
"Drug rehabilitation centres where we are working are keen to use this methodology for patients on drug-treatment programmes.
"Then there are customs and probation services, drug testing and perhaps roadside testing." | Scientists say they can tell if someone has been taking drugs by analysing their fingerprint. | 32,735,722 | 416 | 20 | false |
The Oscar-nominated actor will play the young Albus in the sequel to Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Law's casting sees him follow in the footsteps of Richard Harris and Sir Michael Gambon, who shared the role of Harry's headmaster in the Potter films.
The new film, due out in November 2018, will depict the character before he became head of Hogwarts.
Directed by David Yates, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 will see Eddie Redmayne reprise his role as "magizoologist" Newt Scamander.
"Jude Law is a phenomenally talented actor whose work I've long admired and I'm looking forward to finally having the opportunity to work with him," said Yates in a statement.
"I know he will brilliantly capture all the unexpected facets of Albus Dumbledore as JK Rowling reveals this very different time in his life."
The new film will also see Johnny Depp return as Gellert Grindelwald, the villainous wizard briefly seen at the end of the first Fantastic Beasts film.
Warner Bros president Toby Emmerich said: "As fans ourselves, we are thrilled to have Jude Law joining the Fantastic Beasts cast, playing a character so universally adored.
"Jude has been a member of the Warner Bros family for years and we're excited to embark on this new adventure with him."
Born in south London in 1972, Law has received Oscar nominations for his roles in 1999's The Talented Mr Ripley and 2003's Cold Mountain.
He also plays Doctor Watson in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes films and can currently be seen in HBO's The Young Pope.

Closing the first night of the Democratic convention, Mrs Obama spoke of the vision and values that guided him as president.
She said it was an "extraordinary privilege" to serve as first lady.
President Obama will formally accept the nomination on Thursday, and face Republican Mitt Romney in November.
A recent opinion poll suggests Mr Obama maintains a thin lead over Mr Romney.
But an ABC News/Washington Post poll released as the convention got under way in Charlotte, North Carolina, showed Mr Obama with the lowest pre-convention favourability for an incumbent president since the 1980s.
The president is aiming to recapture the political spotlight over the next few days, after last week's Republican convention.
By Mark MardellNorth America editor
Mrs Obama said that four years ago she "believed deeply" in her husband's "vision for this country", but worried about how a run for president would change their life and the life of their daughters.
In a speech well received by a hyped-up crowd, she shared memories from their 23-year relationship, and noted that she had found a "kindred spirit" in a man whose values were similar to hers.
"Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable - their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves."
She added: "Barack knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.
"Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it… and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love."
The first lady's speech connected their shared background to the values she said guided Mr Obama as president.
"As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people," she said, "but at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are."
She said Mr Obama was inspired by his own background when advocating for laws involving fair pay for women, healthcare and student debt.
He had not been changed by the White House, she said, and was "still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago".
"He's the same man who started his career by turning down high-paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighbourhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities."
In the toughest moments, she added, "he just keeps getting up and moving forward… with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace."
Earlier, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, brought the gala into session with a strike of the gavel.
Shortly after the convention opened, delegates cheered their backing for the party's new platform in an open voice vote.
Among the changes found in the text of the party's 2012 platform was the removal of language from the Middle East section referring to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
That message was replaced with a passage referring to the party's "unshakeable commitment to Israel's security" and Mr Obama's "steadfast opposition to any attempt to delegitimize Israel".
The change prompted criticism from Republicans and Mitt Romney, who accuse Mr Obama of "selling out" a key US ally.
According to the New York Times' Alessandra Stanley, Michelle Obama's speech was a reminder that the role of president's wife "seems pretty much frozen in the template set by Jacqueline Kennedy and Pat Nixon".
Writing in the The Washington Post, EJ Dionne said the speech was "thoroughly apolitical on the surface" and that it "carried multiple political messages".
Paul West, in the Los Angeles Times, said Mrs Obama set out "to humanise a candidate who often comes across as aloof and remote from the lives of ordinary Americans".
Politico's Jennifer Epstein said Mrs Obama's message was simple: "We are you."
Tuesday's first session saw a series of Democratic governors, members of Congress, mayors and electoral candidates speak in support of Mr Obama and his policies, most notably his much-criticised healthcare reform law.
A video tribute to the late Senator Edward Kennedy included clips from his 1994 Senate debate with Mr Romney, and independent Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee argued that his former party - the Republicans - had lost their way and had forfeited the label of conservative.
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said the next president would set the tone for the next 40 years.
"It will be the president's leadership that determines how we as a nation meet the challenges that face the middle class. It is the president's values that shape a future in which the middle class has hope," he said.
Julian Castro, the Latino Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, gave the keynote address immediately before Mrs Obama.
The Democratic gathering will see Mr Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden formally re-nominated as the party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates on Wednesday.
Later that evening, there will be speeches from Elizabeth Warren, who is fighting Republican incumbent Scott Brown in a high-profile race for a Massachusetts Senate seat, and former President Bill Clinton.
The convention culminates on Thursday with speeches from Mr Obama and Mr Biden.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney is expected to spend the week preparing for a series of debates with Mr Obama.
The gala also offers the Democrats the chance to make a high-profile pitch to voters in North Carolina, a state that narrowly voted for Mr Obama in 2008, but is now firmly up for grabs.
Sharapova, seeded fifth, was erratic but served 21 aces to seal a 7-5 7-5 win after two hours and six minutes.
The Russian will next play either top seed Serena Williams or compatriot Margarita Gasparyan in the last eight.
Sharapova, who made seven double faults and 46 unforced errors, said she expected to next play Williams.
The 28-year-old, who was beaten by world number one Williams in last year's final, said: "It was a great final last year, I came close in the second set but not close enough. I'll look forward to playing the best in the world and it'll be a great match."
Elsewhere, Japan's seventh seed Kei Nishikori saw off Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with ease, beating the ninth seed 6-4 6-2 6-4.
The 2014 US Open finalist will face Novak Djokovic or Gilles Simon in the last eight.
Coming from a shinty-daft family, I was brought up playing with my brothers and sister, having a hit about whenever we could. Back then, girls just didn't really play.
When I reached 16, I was keen to play. I thought there must be a way and, with the help of my mum and dad being heavily involved in Glengarry Shinty Club, it was agreed we could play a local six-a-side game at the club's annual fundraising day.
The late Sharon Fraser helped and it ended in 12 local women, wives, sisters and even mums playing. There was no turning back; 1996 was the start of women's shinty in Glengarry.
With a bit of research, we found that Dunadd Camanachd and Oban Camacheros had teams too. We made several trips to Lochgilphead to play Dunnadd and vice versa.
But we were not happy with that, so a group, consisting mainly of women from our club decided to pursue this further. We held a meeting with Sheila Wallace and Phillis Breslin of the Camogie Association and they advised us about setting up a working group for women's shinty.
With the formation of a working group, a North and a South League were formed. At long last, competitive women's shinty was being played.
Much to my delight, over the coming years the Women's Camanachd Association was formed and women's shinty grew with competitive leagues, cups, tournaments and representative matches.
Over the years, different league strategies were tried and tested. Having been involved in women's shinty from the beginning, I've been in the fortunate position to see the game develop and the attitudes of others change, which has by no means been an easy task but most definitely pleasurable.
The first on field links with the Camogie Association - the women's version of hurling - were made when Glengarry were invited to play at the Camogie 7's tournament in 1999.
We opened the invite to other clubs and players from Dunadd, Kingussie and Oban joined us as we travelled to Dublin for a memorable weekend, We played in the tournament and then were invited to play the first-ever Scotland v Ireland select as the finale of the day.
Of course, shinty was the winner as now we compete on an annual basis with our Irish counterparts.
My time as a player has had its highs and lows and, since the formation of The Garry Girls in 1996, I have won 11 North/National League titles and six Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup Gold Medals along with three runners-up.
I achieved the "double" in 2002, 2004, 2009 and 2011, represented Scotland five times and have played in the North Select squad every year bar three.
Unfortunately, during that time, along with all the usual aches and pains, I have also ruptured my cruciate ligament and dislocated both my shoulders.
Following my knee injury in 2005, I was told to consider hanging up my boots, but three operations on and, with intense physio, I am still playing. However, my baby bump has put a halt on play for now!
Now that the Garry Girls have been on the go for a while, we are in the position of bringing in the "young ones", so hopefully, with a bit more experience behind them, we will get our name back on some trophies soon.
Back in 2005 as my playing days were looking a bit numbered, I had the pleasure of being voted in as the Women's Camanachd Association president and was in that position from 2005 until end of 2011. I'm currently the vice-president.
I feel very fortunate and privileged to have travelled this journey on and off the pitch and have many, many memories, but the most important thing is that women's shinty has grown from strength to strength on and off the pitch.

Johnson forced the play-off by sinking a 17-foot putt at the final hole, with both men finishing on 13 under par.
The world number one's ball caught the edge of the hole and did a half-circle around the lip before toppling in.
"I feel the game's back in form like it was leading into he Masters," he said.
"I'm swinging really well, got a lot of control over the golf ball and I'm feeling really good.
"Getting a win here gives me a lot of confidence going into next week and the rest of the play-offs."
The tournament was the first of four lucrative PGA Tour FedEx play-offs and it was Johnson's first win since missing the first major of the season at Augusta in April after falling downstairs.
He carded a closing four-under-par round of 66 at Glen Oaks Country Club, New York, while Spieth - who had led by three shots overnight - shot a 69.
Spieth's two birdies in the first five holes had seen him lead Johnson by five shots, before a double-bogey at the sixth hole after finding the water.
That left him three shots clear - and four holes later the pair were tied.
At the first play-off hole, Johnson knocked his approach to three feet and holed the birdie putt after Spieth had missed from distance.
The pair finished four strokes clear of Spain's Jon Rahm and Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas.
"I didn't lose this tournament. He won it," Spieth said.
Marten de Roon's goal early in a drab contest was the 59th Sunderland have conceded this season and left the Black Cats 12 points adrift of safety with five games remaining.
Sunderland face Bournemouth on Saturday and could be relegated if they fail to win and other results go against them.
The Black Cats are bottom of the league, having spent 236 days in the relegation zone, and have taken just two points from the last 27 available.
Second-bottom Middlesbrough cannot be relegated this weekend but they face a tough run-in against Manchester City, Chelsea, Southampton and Liverpool.
Sunderland will be relegated at the weekend if:

Sunderland boss David Moyes, who was charged by the FA prior to the game after telling BBC reporter Vicki Sparks she might "get a slap", said before kick-off he thought his side could still keep their Premier League status.
However, the on-field body language and frantic decision-making betrayed a side low on confidence.
The Black Cats started strongly, but once De Roon scored they lacked intensity, losing possession too easily to leave Moyes frustrated on the sidelines.
The defence that allowed an unmarked De Roon to ghost in and score was culpable again minutes later as Stewart Downing ran through on goal but Jordan Pickford - one of Sunderland's few bright spots this season - made the stop.
Sunderland looked slightly better going forward, with record signing Didier Ndong lashing a shot at Brad Guzan before Billy Jones headed the rebound over. However, in a tepid game where both sides struggled for rhythm, the Black Cats could not keep the pressure on for long.
The boos the Sunderland players walked off to at half-time were amplified come the end of the match, with fans chanting "you're not fit to wear the shirt".
Middlesbrough have struggled at home this season and prior to this match had scored just 13 goals at the Riverside - the lowest of any top-flight team.
They have also played out seven goalless draws, underlining their lack of threat in the final third.
So it was perhaps no surprise they needed to profit from their opponents' carelessness to score the only goal of the game, with the unmarked De Roon sneaking in between Jones and John O'Shea before sliding the ball through Pickford's legs.
Boro looked vulnerable after going in front, with Sunderland given too much space inside the area, leading to a number of scrambled clearances.
The hosts held on, though, to end manager Steve Agnew's winless streak since taking over from the sacked Aitor Karanka in March.
The result also meant Boro striker Rudy Gestede, brought on as a late substitute, finally ended a Premier League-record run of 43 games without a win.
Sunderland manager David Moyes: "I've never been in this position before so it's new to me. It's something I'm not enjoying.
"We didn't get a good result but I thought we played well. It was a poor goal that we gave away but I can't fault the players or their efforts. We tried to build play up, make opportunities, but I wasn't disappointed with the performance.
"While there's a chance, we'll keep going. Good performances lead to results, that's the way it goes. I think we've had a couple of pretty good performances in the last few games.
"We know our position, we're not daft, we know exactly where we are. We have to try and pick up every win."

Middlesbrough manager Steve Agnew: "It feels great. Everybody is absolutely delighted with the three points. We had to defend for long spells but we got the goal early. I'm so proud of the players.
"Clean sheets are obviously something you build on. I think it was important, the early goal. It gave everybody a lift and a confidence to see the game through.
"The players are all happy. I think all we do now is we remain focused for the game on Sunday against Manchester City. We'll certainly gain some confidence and belief going into games."

The youth, 17, who cannot be named, admits killing James Attfield and Nahid Almanea in Colchester, Essex, in 2014.
He has denied murder on grounds of diminished responsibility, saying he was suffering from psychosis.
The Guildford Crown Court trial jury heard the teenager is on medication and in a secure hospital.
He claims he had auditory and visionary hallucinations which compelled him to stab his victims to death as "sacrifices".
Philip Bennetts QC, prosecuting, said a forensic psychiatrist who assessed him earlier this year had cast doubt on the boy's claims.
In his evidence, Dr Philip Joseph said the youth's descriptions were "a bit clichéd" and "more like something you might see in a horror film".
In his closing speech Mr Bennetts QC repeated an assessment by Dr Joseph that it was "likely the defendant wanted to emulate the acts of serial killers he had read about".
He added Dr Joseph's finding that the youth could be suffering from an emerging personality disorder had not affected the boy's ability for rational thought.
But Simon Spence QC, defending, said the teenager was "a 15-year-old boy caught up in what I want to describe as the perfect storm of autism, increasing isolation and paranoia, leading to the psychosis which led him to kill".
Mr Spence said three separate psychiatrists for the defence suggested the "voices" the defendant heard had compelled him to act on his fantasies of killing.
"The effect of the voices on the fantasies - that is what triggers the change from passive interest in a topic, however abhorrent, to acting them out," he said.
He said it was "ludicrous" the prosecution had suggested that he could deceive three psychiatrists and it would have had to have been "an Oscar-winning performance".
The defendant was referred to a youth offending team after he punched an acquaintance in the head and held up a convenience store with a kitchen knife in January 2014.
The judge said those incidents were relevant to the jury's considerations as the boy had claimed those had also been carried out under the influence of voices, but he did not disclose it.
The trial continues.
That's the takeaway from two reports today from the CBI and the Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
The reasons echo my report on the robust growth of US manufacturing, but with a crucial difference: where the demand is coming from.
The similarities are found in the impact of lower oil prices. The CBI says that UK manufacturers are upbeat as cheaper energy lowers production costs. Manufacturers' order books have climbed to a six month high, and 16 out of 18 industrial sectors expect to grow in the next quarter.
For the US, lower oil costs have made a big difference too. Although US wages are considerably higher than that of China, overall costs are falling because of cheaper energy and higher American productivity that justifies the higher labour costs has led to the re-shoring of manufacturing back to the US.
But a crucial difference is in terms of where demand is coming from. The manufacturers that I spoke to in America, including foreign companies such as Siemens who were now basing production in the US, all pointed to the benefits of localisation since the US is the biggest market in the world.
By contrast, Britain is a smaller market that is one-fifth the size of the US population but has grown well by being an open economy. A striking reminder is in the SMMT report where 80% of the cars made in Britain, so 1.2 million cars in 2014, were shipped to more than 100 countries.
Notably, China has become the single largest market for British-made cars from the UK itself.
The SMMT also points to fast growth in Asia as one of the reasons why cars now make up 11% of British exports by revenue, its highest share. Demand from China has grown by more than 600% since 2009, which takes the total to 137,410 cars, just less than the 151,472 sold to America.
Since 60% of British-made cars are "premium", such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, that seems to suit the rich Chinese who tend to buy luxury brands.
So, higher incomes in China are a boon for British exporters, while the same rising wages are driving production back to the US. Plus, both countries are seeing the benefits of cheaper energy, not just in production but also for consumers.
We are hearing more and more about the hundreds of millions of people in emerging markets joining the middle class around the world. It seems that advanced economies like the UK and US are already benefitting.
Gwen, 24, from Pennsylvania, hosted an "ask me anything" (AMA) session on the online community site Reddit.
She received almost 2,000 questions and comments, mostly from "supportive and respectful people".
"I figure very few of you know trans people in your everyday lives and might be afraid to ask questions at the risk of offending someone, so I thought I'd give you all the opportunity to learn from someone who will answer your invasive questions," she said.
One Redditor wrote: "I think you just won over half of Reddit right there."
Another said: "You're very beautiful, and I'm glad you found the happiness that you were searching for. Thanks for sharing with us."
These are some of the questions she was asked.
Gwen, who medically transitioned using hormone replacement therapy, started dreaming about becoming a woman when she was five years old.
"I would wake up from those dreams and feel so happy. It was weird because I looked like a boy and everyone told me I was a boy," she said.
"When I was 10, someone at school asked what people look like in heaven, and our teacher said, 'You can look however you like.'
"I was so excited. I couldn't wait to die because then I could look like a girl. I wasn't suicidal, but I thought someone had just unlocked the secret for me."
At the age of 22, Gwen began her medical transition.
Two years later, most people she meets can't tell she was born male.
"As a guy, it was lonely because people were nice but didn't really engage with me.
"If I was walking home late at night, I could tell if when a woman was uncomfortable with my presence.
"Now, I get catcalled a lot walking through the city, and I fully understand the mindset.
"You get way more attention as a woman, and you assume that anybody could be a threat."
Gwen also notices sexist remarks.
"You don't really understand it until you experience it for yourself.
"I get lots of comments like, 'You wouldn't know because you're a girl.'
"I grew up as a guy, so I do know, I know a lot of these things."
But she said one of the positives about living as a woman was how other women treat her.
"They're much more comfortable around me and compliment me on my hair, make-up or clothes."
"Men go out of their way to hold doors for me or ask me if I need help."
Gwen explained that, as well as reducing hair growth and redistributing fat to her hips and chest, the structure of her muscles had changed.
"I went down three shoe sizes because the muscles in my foot changed, and I shrunk in height because of the curvature of my spine," she said.
"I lost all my strength. Before, I'd always win in a hand wrestle with my sister or girlfriend. Now, they'd probably beat me."
The transition process was an "awkward phase" for Gwen, and she felt people were uncomfortable with her appearance.
"You don't look like a man, but you don't look like a woman either, and people don't know how to talk to you.
"I suffered a lot in that period because I felt I was a fake because I didn't look like other women did.
"I had to tell myself that there's no one way for a woman to look."
Gwen finally felt that she "passed" as a woman after a man made sexual advances on a train.
"My heart froze. For a split second, I was happy that a stranger had seen me as a woman for the first time.
"Then I immediately felt disgusted, uncomfortable and guilty for the attention."
Although one of her uncles refuses to speak to her since the transition, Gwen feels that most of her family has accepted her.
"My mum had to relearn a lot about me and there are things she had to get used to, like the fact that we'll never have a mother-son dance.
"We're much closer now though, because I feel more authentic."
Gwen also discussed her personal life, although she said most trans people preferred not to be asked intimate questions.
"My girlfriend has always made me feel OK with my body, and I enjoy sex a lot more because now I actually get to be myself," she said.
"It's more pleasurable, and I feel it all over my body.
"I can still use my penis but I prefer not to."
Surgery is a consideration for the future.
"If my girlfriend and I stay together and we want children, I need things to stay as they are right now.
"After we have kids, I'd like to have surgery.
"That's the only thing holding me back because I hate having it."
"I'm a person like any other. Being trans is just a part of my medical history," Gwen told Reddit.
"People feel they need to walk on eggshells around trans people, and it keeps them from wanting to learn anything about us.
"But being friends with a trans person isn't all that different from being friends with anyone else, and it can be rewarding to have a different perspective on life.
"I love everything about me that makes me 'me', it was just my body I was unhappy with.
"Now that my body matches how it was supposed to look in my brain, I'm happy."

The waste was produced during the reprocessing of material from Belgium at the Scottish site in the 1990s.
Under an agreement, the intermediate level waste has been shipped back to Belgium.
In October, a vessel carrying two containers each holding three 500-litre drums of the waste got into difficulty in bad weather in the Moray Firth.
The MV Parida suffered an engine fire leaving it adrift in high seas.
The Beatrice oil platform in the firth was evacuated as a precaution.
The cargo ship was eventually towed to Invergordon for repairs.
It later completed its journey to Antwerp in Belgium.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority said at the time that the ship and its cargo had been categorised at the lowest level of safety concern.
It has taken about four years to complete the work, transporting 150 tonnes of waste in 21 shipments to Belgium.
The 680m (2,230 ft) bridge links the city centre with southern neighbourhoods across the Indian Ocean.
Tanzania's leader John Magufuli hailed it as a "liberation" for residents in the city of more than four million.
The Chinese firm which built the $140m (£98m) structure says it is East Africa's longest cable-stayed bridge.
It is also the first toll road in Tanzania. The prices have yet to be set - vehicles and motorcycles will have to pay, pedestrians and bicycle will have free passage.
Correspondents say until now commuters' only option to cross over the creek to the Kigamboni suburbs was in badly maintained ferries. - and they are often held up for hours because of breakdowns.
Motorists also take their cars on to the ferries, and some have fallen into the sea as the vessels leave as they are not always properly loaded.
The bridge links to an area earmarked in 2010 for an ambitious plan to build a satellite city, known as the Kigamboni New City development.
The government also hopes that it will boost tourism, making it easier for people to go to beaches on the other side of the city.
At a ceremony to open the bridge, Mr Magufuli described the seven-lane cable-stayed bridge as the only one of its kind in central and East Africa.
"It has never been built before. Even if you go to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo [and] Kenya, there is no bridge like this," he added.
He said it should be named Nyerere Bridge after Tanzania's first President Julius Nyerere, saying the idea was first mooted by him.
Mr Nyerere led Tanzania, or what was then known as Tanganyika, to independence from the UK in 1960.
He governed the country until his retirement in 1985, and died in 1999.
About 20 people threw bottles and wood causing one man a head injury and two officers minor injuries, police said.
Five people were arrested on suspicion of disorder-related offences and remained in custody on Sunday morning.
The planned event had been approved by the Met to take place in Camden High Street on Saturday from 19:00 BST.
On their Facebook page, event organisers said: "The heart of Camden is being ripped out, pubs are being converted to luxury flats no-one can afford, venues are under threat, the market is flogged off to be a casino.
"Camden is a unique place and worth defending against this onslaught of dog-eat-dog economics."
Scotland Yard said within two hours of the event starting some of the protesters had moved into the road, forcing officers to close Camden Underground Station.
Additional officers, including the Territorial Support Group and Dogs Unit, were brought in to help disperse the crowd.
Jade Dunne, 29, of Parker Way, Halstead, has been charged in connection with the death of Dexter Neal on 18 August.
Dexter died after he was bitten at Ms Dunne's home. An American Bulldog, called Ruby, was later destroyed.
Ms Dunne will appear at Colchester Magistrates' Court next month.
Dexter, of Ronald Road, Halstead, was attacked at 17:40 BST.
He was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge before his death was confirmed later that day.
At the time, neighbour Phyllis Young told the BBC the family had not lived in the street for long and "kept themselves to themselves".
Shirley Diver, mayor of Halstead, described the incident as heartbreaking.
Following news of Dexter's death, she said: "It's so sad. I feel so sadly for the family who are involved.
"Words can't express how it affects anybody. The whole town is in shock."
Scott has been brought in as cover for Edinburgh's Phil Burleigh, who injured his shoulder in his club's pre-season friendly against Sale Sharks on Friday.
McCallum, 21, replaces London Irish prop Gordon Reid, who sustained a concussion in a friendly against Ealing Trailfinders, also on Friday.
Reid will stay in the care of his club.
The training camp forms part of head coach Gregor Townsend's preparations for Scotland's autumn Tests against Samoa, New Zealand and Australia in November.
Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha bought 19 BMW i8s - costing about £100,000 each - for all the players who helped the club win the Premier League.
At least seven players have ordered vinyl wraps to change the colour.
There were rumours that the stars were fed up at losing their vehicle in the club car park.
Former Premier League striker Marlon Harewood runs the Nottingham garage where the players' hybrid sports cars were modified.
The former Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Aston Villa player said: "The reason they have got them changed is because there were 19 cars all exactly the same.
"They wanted to personalise their own vehicle. I've heard rumours they couldn't find their car in the car park but you don't forget your own car."
On Facebook, the news received a mixed reaction.
Roy Foulkes wrote: "More money than sense. Keep the car blue donate the cost to the first football team you ever played."
John Cooper said: "Probably that 15 identical cars in the car park was too confusing for them"
Jane Smith said: "Can I have a free one if I promise not to change the colour?"
Kim Stevenson said: "Butchers. Why were they blue ? Because that's our clubs colours. Would have been better getting thier own plates fitted at a fraction of the cost too."
A vinyl wrap on a car is like a large sticker and is a cheaper alternative to re-spraying the vehicle and should not damage the original paintwork.
The i8 is BMW's second supercar and is a petrol-electric hybrid which costs from £104,485.
Leaders attending the meeting will discuss a proposal to resettle Syrians straight from camps in Turkey.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the driving force behind the plans, faces resistance from other EU states.
Thursday's full EU summit in Brussels is set to focus heavily on the migrant crisis, which has divided members.
Record numbers of people have arrived in Europe this year, prompting some states to build fences and introduce border controls in defiance of the EU's border-free Schengen area.
The resettlement proposal would see EU countries accept Syrian refugees directly from Turkey under a voluntary scheme.
It is hoped the resettlement plan will stop people making the dangerous sea journey to Greece and will be more palatable for EU members than obligatory quotas.
Turkey and European leaders struck a deal last month in which Ankara tries to prevent migrants leaving in exchange for financial aid and political concessions.
The wider EU summit will discuss European Commission plans to create an EU coast guard, and other ways to strengthen external borders.
The fight against terrorism is also expected to dominate the summit after it emerged that at least two of the Paris attackers used the migrant route to travel to France.
Ahead of the summit, European Council President Donald Tusk said: "There is no good alternative to border protection.
"Europe cannot remain vulnerable when Schengen states are not able to effectively protect their borders."
However he has been keen to keep migration and terror as separate issues, writing in his summit invitation: "The protection of our external borders is not intended to scare off those who flee wars or persecution".
Many migrants are themselves fleeing violence in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, seeking to reach northern Europe.
924,147
arrivals by sea up to 11 December
219,000 arrivals in 2014
3,619 dead or missing in 2015
64% of arrivals to Greece are from Syria
As a tumultuous year draws to a close, European leaders are struggling to maintain unity. They have been overwhelmed by weight of numbers, as nearly a million migrants and refugees have arrived on European shores.
Now Angela Merkel is once again taking the lead trying to work out ways to admit Syrian refugees straight from camps in Turkey.
Initially figures in the hundreds of thousands were being discussed - already that has fallen to tens of thousands. And plans for resettlement will only move forward if Turkey takes decisive steps to cut off the illegal flow of people crossing the Aegean Sea.
Plans to relocate 160,000 refugees who have already arrived in Europe are moving extremely slowly - so far only around 200 have actually been transferred from one country to another.
The summit will also discuss British efforts to renegotiate its membership of the EU before holding a referendum, by the end of 2017, on whether to stay or leave.
Leaders discuss Cameron's reforms
"We want a fair deal with Britain and this fair deal has to be a fair deal with other countries," Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the European Commision, said ahead of the summit, adding that he did not want the UK to leave.
Chancellor Merkel has stressed the "enormous importance" of avoiding a British exit but said she was not prepared to give in to all of Prime Minister David Cameron's demands for reform.
The eight-week traineeship will help boost people's chances of getting a job and develop their digital skills.
The scheme will include training designed by BBC Academy and is open to unemployed people aged 18 and over.
BBC Cymru Wales, the Welsh Government and the UK Government Department for Work and Pensions are working in partnership on the project.
Director of BBC Cymru Wales Rhodri Talfan Davies, said: "The BBC is in a unique position to connect our most creative young people with Welsh companies that are leading the way in the digital arena.
"This scheme, the biggest of its kind in Wales, is a vital part of BBC Wales' plans to help open up the creative and digital industries in Wales to a much broader range of people from all backgrounds.
"It will also help address the growing need for digital skills across Welsh industry and business."
BBC Cymru Wales will announce the scheme at the National Digital Learning event in Cardiff on Wednesday.
The project is a key part of the BBC's Make it Digital initiative, which aims to inspire a new generation to develop digital and coding skills.
Training will be held in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Wrexham and Bangor.
The BBC is rolling out the scheme across the UK this summer, creating trainee places for up to 5,000 people.
Several hundred people from Scotland were thought to be stuck in the Egyptian resort after flights were suspended over security concerns.
Airlines resumed reduced services from the area on Friday to bring those Britons affected back to the UK.
UK investigators looking at what caused a Russian plane to crash believe a bomb was put in the hold before take-off, the BBC has learned.
A Thomson Airways flight from Sharm el-Sheikh arrived at Glasgow Airport just before midnight on Friday.
A spokeswoman for the holiday company said it could only operate two flights on Saturday, with other services delayed over the weekend.
She said: "We continue to work with the UK government to try and finalise our flying programme for the weekend and we will update accordingly when further information becomes available.
"These flights will operate under special security measures mandated by the UK government. Customers will not be able to bring any hold luggage with them on these flights.
"We would like to apologise to our customers for the inconvenience caused and would like to thank them for their continued patience."
Passengers have been told they will have to wait up to a week for their hold luggage, which was flown back on a separate aircraft, but some complained about lax security and "chaos" at the Egyptian airport.
One woman, who arrived at Glasgow Airport from the resort on Friday, told BBC Scotland that she and her husband mistakenly took each others' passports through security at Sharm el-Sheikh, but were allowed through.
Another woman said the experience was an "absolute nightmare".
"[It was] so disorganised, no updates, nothing being given. It was just the helpline information being given. But we're home safe and sound.
"It started out as a great holiday but ended up as a disaster."
And another man told the BBC it had been "chaos" at the Sharm el-Sheik airport.
"They're bringing bus loads of people in. They're all just crowding round and round and then they say that flight's cancelled, get back on your bus, you're going back to another hotel," he said.
British Airways, easyJet, Thomas Cook and Monarch are also operating flights back to the UK on Saturday, but none is due to return to Scotland.
The UK government suspended air links on Wednesday after a Russian plane crashed last weekend, killing 224 people.
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was "more likely than not" the Russian aircraft was brought down in a terrorist attack.
Prof Paul Hardaker, head of the Royal Meteorological Society, was speaking to the Commons science committee.
He said more supercomputers were needed to carry out complex calculations, but finding the money was "an issue".
However, the potential economic benefits of more accurate forecasts were "enormous", the MPs heard.
The science and technology committee is carrying out an inquiry into the use of science by the Met Office and the effectiveness of the body as a whole.
It was told that scientists were increasingly able to gather the data necessary for very local predictions.
It also heard that while accurate seasonal forecasts for northerly latitudes like the UK's were harder to achieve, progress could be made with investment.
Prof Ed Hill, director of the National Oceanography Centre, said: "The potential, if one could have reliable seasonal forecasts, is enormous.
"The kinds of users would be obviously from the insurance sector, the power generation industry, construction, agriculture, tourism, the retail industry - understanding which products to put on the shelves at any time - manufacturing and transport.
"The potential is enormous and particularly where large investments are at stake. Then, any information that can add some level of insight into what is going on is worth having.
"Particularly if you're into activities which are a little akin to betting then something that's a good deal better than evens may well help out with those investments - I'm thinking of some of the insurance businesses in that respect."
But Prof Hill, Prof Hardaker and a third witness - Prof Alan Thorpe, the director general of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts - all agreed a lack of supercomputers was a major problem.
"I recognise there's an affordability issue and we have to make priorities, but it is a significant limitation in our capability at the moment," Prof Hardaker said.
"When we are starting to try to look into the whole earth system... the complications of that are such that we do really need to make a step change in current capabilities."
Prof Thorpe added: "We have fallen a long way behind the curve in terms of computer ability keeping pace with the science. This is a real limitation.
"There was a time when weather forecasting... in terms of the use of world's top computers, was high up on that list. It's actually slid further and further down.
"That change has prevented us advancing as quickly as we could have done."
The Met Office is largely funded by the government, with some additional money coming from the Civil Aviation Authority and other sources like the European Union.
Marcelino has signed a two-year contract with the two-time Champions League finalists.
Interim boss Voro will remain in charge of the Spanish club for the last two games away to Espanyol on Saturday and at home to Villarreal on 21 May.
Valencia are 13th in La Liga, closer to relegation than a European spot.
They started the season with former Liverpool assistant Pako Ayestaran in charge but he was sacked with the side bottom of La Liga after losing their opening four games of the season.
Marcelino, 51, had been a candidate to replace Ayestaran.
However, league rules do not allow coaches to manage more than one club in the same season and Marcelino was deemed to have started the campaign at Villarreal, although he was sacked before their first game of the season in August.
Former Italy boss Cesare Prandelli, 59, took charge of Valencia instead but resigned after 10 games in charge.
Voro led the team to safety but has since confirmed he will leave at the end of the season.
Former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville, 42, was sacked by Valencia after less than four months in charge in March 2016.
Emmerson Boyce, Charles Dunne, David Ferguson, Connor Oliver, Martin Paterson and Jarrett Rivers have left.
Midfielder David Norris has been offered a new deal by the Seasiders and they have activated a clause in the contract of defender Tom Aldred.
Boss Neil McDonald stated he is unsure if he will be with the Tangerines next season in the fourth tier.

BBC Sport has taken a look at when some of the big matches, managerial reunions and hostile welcomes are scheduled to take place throughout the season.
All dates and times of matches are subject to change.
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has helped his side win the Premier League title twice and the fixtures he looks out for are, unsurprisingly, the Manchester derbies.
"They are the ones I enjoy most," said Kompany who is working for BBC Sport as a pundit during Euro 2016. "In all the fixtures you have good and bad moments but playing against Tottenham is always a good occasion.
"Next season I'm also looking forward to playing West Han away in a different stadium. It will be a new experience and it adds a new dimension to the Premier League."
Jose Mourinho won the Premier League title with Chelsea on three occasions and it may well be an emotional occasion on 22 October, when he takes his new Manchester United side to Stamford Bridge.
New Everton boss Ronald Koeman will expect a lively reception when he faces his former side Southampton on 26 November with the return game at Goodison Park on 2 January.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe takes on a Burnley side he managed for a year with the two teams meeting in Burnley on 10 December and then again in Bournemouth on the penultimate weekend of the season.
BBC Sport's Simon Stone: "Champions Leicester City can have no complaints about how their entry into European football has been treated.
"Top four managers tend to look with suspicion at the fixtures that follow each of their Champions League games, when travel fatigue can be a factor.
"Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri will be happy to see his side have been given six home games immediately after those matches, Arsenal have four and Tottenham two.
"Manchester City have three but they must get through an August qualifier before new manager Pep Guardiola can be certain of a familiar campaign in Europe's premier club competition."
BBC Sport's Simon Stone: "Premier League managers are not the only ones who keep a close eye on fixtures release day. International managers also get affected, especially when matches involving their players get moved for TV.
"So Roy Hodgson, if he remains in charge of England beyond Euro 2016, might not be too happy to find some of the games that immediately precede World Cup qualifiers.
"Tottenham and Liverpool, who between them are responsible for 10 of Hodgson's 23-man squad in France, play in the last round of matches before the September internationals, Tottenham v Man City is before October's.
"Arsenal have a North London derby against Tottenham before England play Scotland on 11 November.
"And Manchester City play Liverpool and Tottenham take on Southampton before March's games."
Bournemouth v Manchester United, Arsenal v Liverpool, Burnley v Swansea City, Chelsea v West Ham United, Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion, Everton v Tottenham Hotspur, Hull City v Leicester City, Manchester City v Sunderland, Middlesbrough v Stoke City, Southampton v Watford.
Tottenham finished third last season, their highest ever position in the Premier League, and travel to Goodison Park on the first weekend of the campaign. It will be Ronald Koeman's first game in charge of Everton and former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas thinks that will make it tougher for the London side.
"Tottenham have set the benchmark of what they can achieve and they should be going for the title this year," Jenas told BBC Sport. "Every match at Everton is tough, but with a new manager even more so."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown says his side will get off to a great start to the season if they can defeat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool on the opening weekend.
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League, while Klopp guided Liverpool to the Europa League final, and Keown believes the Anfield side will be Premier League title challengers this season.
"Jurgen Klopp will have brought in new players by then and if Arsenal can win that game then they are off and running as I see Liverpool as one of the favourites," Keown told BBC Sport.
Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion, Burnley v Middlesbrough, Chelsea v Bournemouth, Hull City v Manchester City, Leicester City v Everton, Liverpool v Stoke City, Manchester United v Sunderland, Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea City v West Ham United, Watford v Crystal Palace.
Here are the fixtures for the final weekend of the season on 21 May. Will a team already be crowned champions by then? Or could it go down to the wire?
Arsenal v Everton, Burnley v West Ham United, Chelsea v Sunderland, Hull City v Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City v Bournemouth, Liverpool v Middlesbrough, Manchester United v Crystal Palace, Southampton v Stoke City, Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion, Watford v Manchester City.

The Vulcan Hotel, which opened in 1853, was dismantled brick by brick last year, and is in storage.
St Fagans hopes to recreate the building as it would have looked in 1915, and ground works could start this year if permission is granted.
Museum officials are appealing for anyone with old pictures of the pub to get in touch.
Gerallt Nash, senior curator of historic buildings, said: "We don't have many early pictures.
"If anyone remembers going there and can describe it, or have early photographs of the Vulcan, we would like to see them."
Mr Nash said plans were submitted to Cardiff council last week.
He said: "We have decided on the date we're going to represent when we rebuild it, which is 1915.
"It dates back to 1853, but it was substantially altered in 1914 and that's the period that's of greatest interest to us.
"We have got copies of plans prepared in 1914 for the building."
Rebuilding plans include using the original tiles on the outside of the building, bearing the hotel's name.
Original features will also include a set of gents' ceramic urinals dating back to 1914 or further.
Mr Nash said running the pub as a working exhibit was an option.
It was once part of Cardiff's Newtown area and popular with the Irish community. The old suburb was cleared during post-war redevelopment.
The museum hope the pub will help tell the story of an expanding and changing Cardiff at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th Centuries.
The pub was bought by compulsory purchase order five years ago as part of redevelopments and last orders were called for the final time in May 2012.
A second-half goal from Francois Zoko put the Glovers ahead before Barry Corr grabbed a very late equaliser for the U's after coming off the bench.
Yeovil had the better of the first half and Bevis Mugabi twice went close early on, with one effort wide and then a swerving shot from distance that Will Norris did well to get his body behind.
Tom Eaves flashed a shot across the face of the goal and Zoko had one strike blocked before Norris got himself behind the second to keep it 0-0 at half-time.
The Glovers did eventually made the breakthrough deep into the second half, with a shot-cross from Alex Lawless on 78 minutes finding Zoko, who knocked it in from eight yards.
However, with time running out, substitute Corr popped up at the far post on 89 minutes to score his first goal in 14 months after injury.

Former America's Cup yachtsman William Koch said he had not been so happy since he won the sailing race in 1992.
Eric Greenberg said he thought wines he sold, which made about $42m in eight years of auctions, were authentic.
The lawsuit alleged Bordeaux wine had been labelled to suggest it was bottled between 1864 and 1950.
Two dozen bottles of the fake wine were fraudulently sold to him at an auction in 2005, Mr Koch alleged.
"Out of sight! Over the moon!" said Mr Koch said, laughing, outside a court in New York.
"We weren't even expecting any damages and we got $12 million. Unbelievable!"
As he left the court with his lawyer, each of them displayed one of the bottles at stake in the trial.
Mr Koch, an energy magnate and brother of major US industrialists David and Charles Koch, also said he would use the settlement to help eliminate fraud in the wine auction market and would create a website to help spot fake wines and their dealers.
But Mr Greenberg, a businessman from California, said the outcome of the trial was "a disappointment because I believed all the consigned wine to be authentic," in a statement.
"We believe that we acted honourably and tried to do the right thing for all concerned," he added, saying he would appeal against the verdict.
In an earlier statement to the jury, Mr Greenberg suggested the case had cost the two parties a total of $17m.
"I'm very sorry I had counterfeit wine. It's a horrible thing. Both of us have lost millions of dollars."
After the ruling, one juror described how they decided how much should be paid to Mr Koch in damages. He said the jurors wrote down the amount they thought was fair and averaged it.
Monsignor Charles J Brown is an unusual appointment in that he does not come from the Vatican's diplomatic corps.
Instead, he has worked at the Holy See's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).
This means he will be deeply familiar with the Catholic Church's response to child sexual abuse which was central to the CDF's work.
The decision to make him papal nuncio is being viewed as an indication of the thought that Rome has invested in the appointment.
In November, the Irish government decided to close its embassy to the Vatican in what was described as a cost-cutting measure.
The decision was greeted with dismay by Cardinal Sean Brady, Ireland's most senior Catholic cleric.
He said he was "profoundly disappointed" by it.
Damning report
Earlier this year, the Vatican recalled its special envoy in Ireland after a damning report on the Irish Catholic Church's handling of child abuse by priests.
Papal Nuncio Giuseppe Leanza was called back to Rome to discuss the impact of the Cloyne Report which showed how allegations of sex abuse by priests in Cork had been covered up.
The report led to angry condemnation of the Vatican by Prime Minister Enda Kenny in the Irish Parliament.
In a blistering attack, Mr Kenny accused the Church of putting its reputation ahead of child rape victims.
Monsignor Brown's nomination has been approved by the Irish government. However, it is standard practice for the Vatican not to confirm or deny the nomination until it is officially published by the government. | JK Rowling's Dumbledore is to have a new face - and it belongs to Jude Law.

On Saturday Malian and French forces seized Gao, another key northern city.
The advance comes as African Union leaders are meeting to discuss sending more troops to Mali.
Islamists seized the north of the country last year, but have been losing ground since French forces launched an operation earlier this month.
Late on Saturday French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Malian and French troops would arrive "near Timbuktu soon".
Overnight they secured Gao - northern Mali's most populous city- after special forces captured the airport and a strategic bridge to the south.
Most militants appear to have fled into desert hide-outs and the hunt for them may prove more difficult once all major towns are secure, says the BBC's Thomas Fessy in the capital, Bamako.
Why do we know Timbuktu?
Troops from Niger and Chad are to assist Malian forces in further securing the town.
Also overnight, French forces bombed Islamist position in Kidal, Malian officials say.
An army source told AFP news agency that the home of the head of Ansar Dine, the main militant group in northern Mali, had been destroyed in a raid.
African Union leaders are holding a summit in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, as members move to deploy troops to help the French-led operation there.
Outgoing AU chairman Boni Yayi on Sunday hailed France for its military intervention, saying it was something "we should have done a long time ago to defend a member country".
In a statement on Saturday, the AU said it wanted to make "an African Standby Force" operational in Mali soon.
African states have pledged nearly 5,700 troops to support French and Malian forces in their campaign. Only a small part of the African force has so far deployed.
On the sidelines of the Addis Ababa summit, the EU pledged 50m euros (£42.6m) to bolster the multinational force, saying a further 250m euros of development money would also be made available.
Meanwhile, the US said it would provide mid-air refuelling for French warplanes. The Pentagon said it had also discussed plans for the US to transport troops to Mali from countries including Chad and Togo.
Some 3,700 French troops are engaged in Operation Serval, 2,500 of them on Malian soil.
France intervened in its former colony after Islamist launched a push to the south earlier this month. Paris said the whole of Africa, and even Europe, was under threat if the Islamist offensive succeeded.
As French and Malian troops moved into Gao, Malian officials spoke of scenes of joy, but also some looting.
Malian Foreign Minister Tieman Coulibaly said ahead of the summit in Addis Ababa: "This terrorist group intends to spread its criminal purpose over the whole of Mali, and eventually target other countries."
The AU has recommended civilian observers monitor the human rights situation in the areas which have come back under the control of the Malian government.
Human rights groups have accused the Malian army of committing serious abuses.
Islamist groups and secular Tuareg rebels took advantage of chaos following a military coup to seize northern Mali in April 2012. But the Islamists soon took control of the region's major towns, sidelining the Tuaregs. | French-led forces in Mali are advancing on the key northern city of Timbuktu, as they press on with their offensive against Islamist rebels. | 21,218,003 | 735 | 36 | false |
Eddie Gilfoyle was convicted in 1993 of killing his heavily pregnant wife Paula and faking her suicide.
His lawyer told a court "fresh evidence" from Mrs Gilfoyle's diaries and papers reveal "she had previously attempted to take her own life".
Mr Gilfoyle, who is now in his 50s, was released on parole in 2010.
Mrs Gilfoyle was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she was found hanging in the garage of the couple's home at Upton, Wirral, on 4 June 1992.
Mr Gilfoyle has always insisted he is innocent and wants the Court of Appeal to reconsider the "safety" of his conviction.
Ben Emmerson QC told two judges at the High Court in London that "fresh evidence derived from Paula Gilfoyle's personal diaries and papers revealed that she had previously attempted to take her own life".
He said: "It also revealed clear indicators that she had a propensity for morbid obsession with murder and suicide."
"This material had, and has, the capacity to provide an important counter-weight to the evidence of her positive disposition that was called at trial."
Mr Gilfoyle's case was previously referred to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), an independent body which investigates possible miscarriages of justice, but in 2000 three leading judges ruled that his conviction was safe.
Last year, the CCRC declined to refer his case back to the Court of Appeal for a further review.
Mr Gilfoyle is now seeking a judicial review of that decision, arguing its reasoning was "fundamentally misguided in a number of critical respects".
A decision on Mr Gilfoyle's application will be given at a future date as the judges adjourned the proceedings for submissions to be provided in writing by the CCRC.

The 22-year-old heptathlete from Liverpool set a national indoor record with her third jump to win the event.
Johnson-Thompson broke the British high jump record last week with 1.97m and also set a hurdles personal best.
"I jumped a PB and ran a PB in the hurdles last week, so I knew I was in all right shape," she told BBC Sport.
Johnson-Thompson missed last summer's Commonwealth Games and European Championships with a foot injury.
She now heads to next month's European Indoor Championships in Prague, where she will compete in the pentathlon.
"I'm happy with it but I'm like 'right, let's move on from this,'" she added. "I'm just so happy to be in good shape, competing and healthy and happy. I'm not going to take it for granted any more."
Olympic champion Greg Rutherford set four indoor personal bests on his way to winning the men's long jump with a 2015 world leading 8.17m, one centimetre short of the national record.
The 28-year-old looks likely to stick with his plan of skipping Prague to focus on winning a first world outdoor title later in the year.
"I don't know now," he said. "It's a possibility but it's a slim one. I think probably not still. I never planned to do it and never set it as a target.
"We've done one jump session and one run-up session in the build-up to this and the rest has been weight sessions, so we'll see.
"If it was any other year then I'd consider it, but I'm so determined to win the World Championships this year and I do believe I can do that."
World number one Jenny Meadows won the 800m in a time of two minutes 01.25 seconds, while Nigel Levine won the 400m in 46.43secs ahead of compatriot Jarryd Dunn.
The 60m was won by 38-year-old Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis in 6.50 seconds ahead of Britain's Chijindu Ujah (6.55).
Their win against Wigan and then Huddersfield's draw with Derby mean Brighton have done enough to reach the top league of English football again.
But how much do you know about this football team?
The last time Brighton were in the top league of English football was back in 1983. Even though they were runners-up in the FA Cup that season they didn't do enough to avoid relegation.
The team are nicknamed the Seagulls and the bird is on the club's emblem - very fitting for a city where you'll often see seagulls at the beach.
Twenty years ago things were very different for Brighton. Things were going downhill and they had to fight to even stay in the Football League.
They managed to avoid relegation, but they had to sell their stadium to pay off their debts. This meant the team had to train at a stadium 70 miles from Brighton for two seasons!
Brighton is the second team that manager Chris has had promoted to the Premier League.
He was the boss of Newcastle United and took them up to the Premier League in 2010. But that didn't last long.
Now that Brighton are in the Premier League, how long will they stay?
Nablus Governor Akram Rajoub said Ahmed Halawa had been assaulted by Palestinian security forces at Junaid prison after shouting insults at them.
Mr Halawa was the alleged ringleader of an attack that led to the killing of two policemen in the area last week.
Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah described his death as an "irregular incident".
However, human rights activists have in the past been extremely critical of the treatment of prisoners in Palestinian jails. They say that torture is common, and committed with impunity.
BBC West Bank correspondent Yolande Knell says there has been recent unrest in Nablus where, historically, large numbers of Palestinian militants were based.
Last week, during a search for weapons, two police officers and two armed men were killed in a series of clashes in the old city.
Mr Halawa was one of those blamed for the policemen's deaths and was arrested.
He was taken to the Junaid prison, where he was severely beaten, lost consciousness and later died, Mr Rajoub told the official Wafa news agency.
"We'll examine the incident and draw lessons from it," he added.
The Islamist group Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip and is a rival of the Fatah movement that dominates the PA, condemned the "execution" of a detainee.
The two factions are preparing for local elections across the Palestinian territories in October.
In a separate development on Tuesday, the Israeli military said it had dismantled a Palestinian weapons-making and smuggling network in the West Bank.
Troops found more than 20 arms-manufacturing machines at several sites in the Bethlehem and Hebron areas overnight, it added. Two traffickers were arrested.
Canon Joanna Penberthy is due to take up the post of Bishop of St Davids in the new year.
She told BBC Wales one of her priorities would be raising awareness of gender-based violence - 80% of which she said was committed against women.
She said legislation alone "won't be enough" and everyone must play a part.
Canon Penberthy told The Wales Report: "It's hard to believe that in 2016, domestic violence is widespread and women are frightened to speak out.
"Unfortunately it's still the case that a culture that sees abuse which happens behind closed doors is somehow acceptable. The phrase 'it's only a domestic' is still too often heard."
Canon Penberthy believes the Welsh Government's Violence Against Women Act has the potential to improve matters - but it was important for everyone to play a part, especially teachers, GPs, the police, council staff and the Church in Wales.
Rachel Williams from Welsh Women's Aid said her organisation's helpline took 29,000 calls from women last year.
She said some good work had been done on tackling domestic violence but much more had to be done, adding: "We're still walking around with blinkers on and we need to take the blinkers off."
According to data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, at least 4% of men aged 16-59 also experienced domestic abuse in 2014-15.
Geoffrey Wheeler, 71, was found guilty of touching a woman's breasts at a BBC office in Milton Keynes in the 1980s.
Recorder Alexander Layton QC told Southwark Crown Court the victim was "palpably vulnerable" at the time.
Wheeler, charged under Operation Yewtree, was cleared of four other charges of historical indecent assault.
It is the sixth conviction for the Scotland Yard sex abuse inquiry - following Max Clifford, Chris Denning, Paul Gadd, who is also known as Gary Glitter, Dave Lee Travis and Rolf Harris, who faces a further trial.
Wheeler, who had denied all five counts, was sentenced to 50 hours of unpaid work, told to pay £150 to the victim and £500 towards the prosecution's costs.
Wheeler - who shares a name with former BBC Songs Of Praise presenter Geoffrey Wheeler who died in 2012 - was employed on the BBC's Open University programme.
Sentencing, Recorder Layton told him: "Your past behaviour has caught up with you."
He added: "You have shown no remorse for your behaviour."
Another crewman has died after the vessel - believed to be The Harvester - got into trouble on rocks at St David's Head on Thursday afternoon.
The rescued man was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead.
The search for the second man was scaled back on Friday with only routine patrols being carried out on the land on Saturday.
Wreckage from the boat has been found over a four mile (6.4km) area.
Five lifeboats, a coastguard helicopter using thermal image cameras and cliff teams have been involved in the search.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales on Friday, Jim Phillips, from the RNLI in St Davids, said a member of the public on the coastal path saw the boat smashed on a rock with two people in the water at about 14:40 BST.
The vessel was about a mile (1.6km) out to sea near Abereiddi.
Mr Phillips said by the time rescuers got to the scene it had sunk and all that was left on the water's surface was debris.
Dyfed-Powys Police appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
The 18-year-old forward, who came through the club's academy, has scored four goals in 13 appearances since making his senior debut in November.
Ademola's new deal at the The Valley will run until the summer of 2020.
"I am so pleased for Ademola. He's a terrific talent who has worked hard to achieve this," Addicks head coach Jose Riga told the club website.
It is the first time in history a space probe has orbited a comet.
Rosetta will be able to provide scientists with information on the 4km-wide lump of ice and rock dust in more detail than ever seen before.
In November, Rosetta will release a small robot lander, Philae, down onto the comet's surface.
Rosetta will stay with the comet, which is called 'comet 67P', until December 2015.
The spacecraft started its journey from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, South America on 2 March 2004.
It has since travelled more than six billion kilometres, passing Earth three times and Mars once.
It has even flown past two asteroids.
Rosetta was put into deep-space hibernation for over two years as it travelled out to the orbit of Jupiter.
At this distance from the Sun, the spacecraft could not make use of its solar power panels. It was awoken in January 2014.
Mohammed Ashrafi is accused of conning 18 people in Leicester who had personal problems, illnesses or financial difficulties.
Leicester Crown Court heard he told his victims they would win a lottery draw last March.
Mr Ashrafi, who worked from a house in Babingley Drive, Leicester, denies 15 counts of fraud and one of blackmail.
James House, prosecuting, said Mr Ashrafi used "elaborate confidence tricks" and was "a vulture who preyed on people at their most vulnerable".
"They wanted to believe in him and he used that to get their money. It devastated their lives," he said.
Mr House said Mr Ashrafi advertised his services in the local media, describing himself as a devotee of Sai Baba.
He "hooked in" his victims by convincing them he could communicate directly with the Indian spiritual master, prompting them to hand over thousands of pounds, the court heard.
One victim gave him £100,000, the prosecution said.
Mr Ashrafi worked from the Leicester house between 2013 and early 2014 and told his victims they would win the lottery on 28 March last year.
But, by the time they realised they had been conned he had left the city.
The trial is expected to last a month.
Mohamed Abrini, known as the "man in the hat" is alleged to have received £3,000 from defendant Zakaria Boufassil, when he came to the UK in July 2015, Kingston Crown Court heard.
Mr Boufassil denies preparing for acts of terrorism.
A second man, Mohammed Ali Ahmed, has pleaded guilty to the same offence.
Abrini became known as "the man in the hat" following his suspected involvement in the Brussels terror attack in March this year, which killed 32 people at an airport and metro station, the jury heard.
In an interview in April, read out to the jury, Abrini told Belgian police: "On being arrested by you, neither in London, nor in Birmingham, nor in Manchester have I been on any reconnaissance trips in relation to preparatory terrorist attacks."
He added: "There's no plan to target England as a potential site for a terrorist act.
"From what I know, it's France who is declared the enemy of Islamic State.
"I think England has a more developed secret service, better observation techniques, etc... and it's therefore more difficult to attack."
The court heard how when Abrini was quizzed on whether he was hiding information to protect others of "his group" who are in England, he said: "No, not at all.
"There are no other members in England and I am hiding no-one. In my eyes too, those I met in England have nothing to do with the attacks in Paris and/or Brussels."
Abrini is in custody in Belgium and is also wanted over the Paris attacks, the court was told.
Mr Boufassil and Mr Ahmed, both from Birmingham, are charged with supplying "a quantity of sterling currency" to Abrini between 1 June 2014 and 16 April 2016 with the intention of committing or assisting another to commit acts of terrorism.
Mr Boufassil has pleaded not guilty and denies sharing the intention of his co-accused Mr Ahmed, whom the jury has heard admitted the same offence on 8 November.
The trial continues.
The UUP's Tom Elliott said there should have been arrests after about 20 people in paramilitary-style uniforms led a parade into the city cemetery.
Police have said evidence gathered will be reviewed and prosecutions pursued if offences were committed.
A spokesperson said a proportionate and appropriate policing operation is implemented for all parades.
Earlier, Ulster Unionist Mr Elliott questioned why no arrests were made: "Obviously when you look at the type of parade that it was, when you look at those clad in paramilitary-style uniforms there are questions for police.
"Were they interested in moving in at that time and making any arrests?
"It appears that they weren't and if not are they prepared to do that now?"
About 2,000 people attended the parade organised by Saoradh.
The parade started in the Bogside at Free Derry Corner and made its way into the Creggan estate where a wreath was laid at a republican memorial.
The main oration was given by Paul Duffy, a former republican prisoner, and brother of the prominent dissident Colin Duffy.
The 32-year-old Pole has had three tests with Renault in the last three months, six years after he suffered a partially severed right arm in a rally accident.
Renault F1 boss Cyril Abiteboul told BBC Sport: "Have we definitively answered the question whether he can race again? No."
Kubica's manager said he believed he had "shown he can be a serious candidate".
Alessandro Alunni Bravi said Kubica's goal was to race for Renault in 2018, adding: "Our goal was to become a potential candidate for Renault for 2018. The goal remains to come back as a race driver but it is not our decision. It's not in our power."
Kubica completed 142 laps - two grand prix distances - in temperatures in the mid-30Cs in his test in a Renault 2017 car at the Hungaroring on 2 August.
He set the fourth fastest lap on the day and was 0.157secs slower than Renault's second driver Jolyon Palmer managed in qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix four days beforehand. The Englishman was 0.8secs off the pace of team-mate Nico Hulkenberg in qualifying.

It was his first run in a contemporary F1 car since early 2011. A matter of days after setting the fastest time for Renault in the first pre-season F1 test, Kubica crashed during a rally in northern Italy and suffered multiple injuries, from which he has faced a long rehabilitation.
Abiteboul said: "We have some indication, some confirmation he is a fantastic professional, that he is extremely talented, that he has a huge hunger for racing and to make a return to professional racing whether in F1 or somewhere else.
"But whether he can race in F1, there is more work to be done."
Abiteboul said he was not able to say whether Renault would be able to give Kubica further tests to fully answer their concerns over his ability to return as a fully fledged F1 race driver.
"We would like to," he said, adding: "We will try but there is limitation. It is going to be difficult in the timing and framework we have."
This is a reference to the fact that testing is severely restricted in F1 - the only chance to run Kubica before a post-season test in Abu Dhabi would be in a practice session at a grand prix weekend.
Abiteboul added that this may not fit in with Renault's desire to finalise their 2018 driver line-up before the end of the season.
He said: "Having said that, we have not done all of this in order to stop at the first difficulty. We knew there would be difficulty. Whether we can go further or not is still a little bit up in the air but we will see in the next two to three weeks what the future can offer to the team and Robert."

Bravi said: "We are really thankful to Renault for the opportunity and just waiting to understand if there can be any further opportunities.
"For sure Robert's priority is to work with Renault because he feels part of this family.
"After the test, he said he was not 100% happy - that was because he missed an opportunity with ultra-soft tyres to do his optimum lap time because of a red flag and his feeling was that he made progress each time he went out on track.
"So he feels there is a lot of room for improvement. His potential to improve is bigger than the others' because he has been out for seven years.
"This is a starting point. We are not putting any pressure on Renault. He did his job. The decision is up to Renault."
Nico Hulkenberg is contracted for next season but team-mate Jolyon Palmer is expected to be dropped after a disappointing season, even though Abiteboul has said the Englishman still has a chance to convince the team to keep him.
Renault are said by sources to have Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz at the top of their list for 2018.
The Spaniard is under contract to Red Bull but the team have made it clear he would be available to Renault at a price. Initial negotiations have taken place but no deal has yet been struck.
Abiteboul said: "We had an interest in Sainz starting actually last year. We continue to have an interest because I think he is doing a good season.
"But he has a contractual situation which Red Bull may or may not be willing to discuss. We will see. Things have been fairly quiet over the summer shutdown and I expect the next couple of weeks are going to be very intense on that topic."
Other drivers linked to Renault next year include Force India's Sergio Perez and McLaren's Fernando Alonso.
Bravi said that if Renault decided not to pursues their interest in Kubica, he had "other opportunities", both in F1 and other categories of motorsport.
Money was being raised for Coniston and Lochaber mountain rescue teams which ran a 38-day search for the couple.
Rachel Slater, 24, and Tim Newton, 27, were caught in an avalanche on Ben Nevis on Valentine's day last year.
Pianist Robert Richmond hoped people at the Windermere concert took "a minute to remember Rachel and Tim".
The grand piano arrived by ferry and was carried on a special frame to Claife Heights, an elevated area above the lake.
Jack Metcalfe, a friend of Miss Slater, said she was "an incredible person" who was the "very definition of adventure".
Bringing a piano to the lake was "a reflection of her personality", he said.
The bodies of Mr Newton and Miss Slater, who lived in Bradford, were found on the north face of Ben Nevis on 23 March last year.
The experienced climbers had been missing since 15 February.
Michael Richmond, whose father organised the concert, said the couple had "strong feelings" about the mountain rescue operation.
"Following their deaths it just really emphasised how badly in need of support mountain rescue are for the phenomenal job that they do," he said.
Robert Richmond said although he would not normally play a grand piano outdoors the acoustics had been "absolutely perfect".
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin told MPs it was now thought what happened "was not a drone incident".
Air accident investigators said they had not ruled out a drone but had no evidence to support the suggestion.
An investigation was launched after the pilot of a BA flight from Geneva on 17 April said an object struck the plane.
At the time the Metropolitan Police said the plane was flying at about 1,700ft (580m) over the area of Richmond Park, in south west London, at the time of the incident.
Even if the Heathrow drone strike wasn't a drone at all, and we'll never know for sure, the near misses are coming at an alarming rate.
The latest statistics show that on Valentine's Day, a drone came within 20 to 150ft of an Airbus A320 near Biggin Hill in Kent. The British Airways plane was flying at 12,500 feet. Drones are not meant to go above 400ft.
The crew reported it was "six feet wide with a red flashing light". It was all over in seconds, there was no time to react and they never found the drone operator.
There were 40 drone near misses in 2015 and just nine the year before. Hence the calls for urgent action to prevent an accident.
Many pilots feel it is a matter of time before a drone hits a plane, and they simply don't know what will happen if it does.
But BBC Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott said air accident investigators had stopped their investigation because "there is nothing to look at".
Our correspondent said the item, which struck the front of the aircraft, could have been "floating debris".
"They just don't have any evidence to tell them one way or the other," he added.
The Airbus A320 was carrying 132 passengers and five crew as it approached the airport. It landed safely.
The incident had been thought to be the first drone collision with an aircraft in the UK.

The UK Air Proximity Board - which investigates near-miss incidents in UK airspace - says there had been a number of serious near-misses at UK airports involving drones.
The head of the International Air Transport Association, Tony Tyler, earlier this year warned that drones flown by the general public were "a real and growing threat" to civilian aircraft.
The Scot, 24, fractured a bone in a collision with team-mate Conor Murray during the win over the Crusaders.
No replacement will be called up at this stage, with Leigh Halfpenny, Jared Payne, Liam Williams and Anthony Watson among the options at full-back.
"It is hugely disappointing for Stuart to have to return home early," said head coach Warren Gatland.
"Stuart has been a key member of our squad on and off the field and it is disappointing to see injury cut short his time with us in New Zealand.
"We all wish him the best with his recovery and we look forward to seeing him back in action."
Hogg, the Six Nations player of the tournament for the past two seasons, was on his second Lions tour, having been involved in Australia in 2013.
He will now return to Scotland to continue treatment.
"I'm gutted to be leaving the Tour at this stage," Hogg said.
"It is an honour to have been involved in a second British and Irish Lions tour. I have hugely enjoyed my time with the squad and I'm very excited about the potential of this group.
"I'm disappointed to be leaving in this way but wish all the squad the best in the coming weeks and will be cheering them on from home."
The Lions play the fourth match of their tour on Tuesday against the Highlanders in Dunedin (08:35 BST), with Irishman Payne starting at full-back.
Since 1927, the standard frame rate - the number of frames or images that are projected per second - has been 24 frames per second.
"24 frames is jarring to me now," Jackson told the BBC.
"It looks primitive. Change is good, it takes people some time to get used to it," he added.
"Ultimately, it's not critics who are going to decide if this (the new format) is going to be adopted or not, it's the audience."
"(There will always be) people who have a particular strong feeling that film should be unchanged and that we got it right in 1927, just like there are people who play vinyl records still, whereas most of the world has moved to CDs and we got used to that."
However viewers will only be able to watch the film being projected at the increased frame rate in a small proportion of cinemas. Most will be showing the film at the traditional rate of 24 frames per second.
The Independent said 48 frames per second was "kitsch and alienating", while the Telegraph said it gives the film "a sickly sheen of fakeness".
But others, including Wired magazine loved it, saying: "Middle-earth in 3D looks so crisp it's like stepping into the foreground of an insanely gorgeous diorama.""
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first in Jackson's series of three films adapting JRR Tolkien's classic book, opens in cinemas in the UK on Thursday and in the US on Friday.
Andy Serkis, who reprises the role of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings film, concurred with Jackson on the 48 frames per second.
"It's so immersive, I find it really magical and really engaging," he said. "It has a level of reality that it is unsurpassed... some people will find it challenging but... it's a matter of time and there won't be a discussion any more."
Despite being happy with the end result, Jackson said he did not expect The Hobbit to win any Oscars next year.
"I think they gave us our Oscars for Return of the King (the final instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy).
"I don't think there'll be any Oscars this time round which is fine, it actually takes the pressure off.
"It helped with Lord of the Rings that there was a weight and a gravitas to the whole story which The Hobbit doesn't have... but some of the technical categories are superb so hopefully we'll feature in those."
Meanwhile, a parody of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, was stopped from going on sale when a US District Court in California granted a temporary restraining order on Monday.
Global Asylum, a film company that makes parodies of blockbuster films such as Transmorphers, based on Transformers, was set to release Age of the Hobbits on Tuesday on DVD.
The studios making The Hobbit - Warner Bros and New Line MGM, along with producer Saul Zaentz - had asked the court to prevent the release.
The court for the central district of California granted their request, as Judge Phillip S Gutierrez said that they had satisfied the legal standard for a temporary restraining order.
The applicant has to demonstrate that there is a valid copyright infringement claim, that there would be danger to the plaintiff if the order is not granted, that the plaintiff would suffer more and that the order would advance the public interest.
Global Asylum had argued that its film was not trying to deceive viewers or use the debut of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to boost its own profits.

A lack of nurses, nuclear safety engineers and airworthiness certifiers are among those highlighted in a report by the Commons Defence Committee.
Financial incentives should be offered to retain current staff, it argued.
Ministers said the restructuring of the armed forces had led to "temporary shortages" in some areas but front-line operations were being protected.
The cross-party committee said the number of "pinch-point trades" - specialist jobs where there are insufficient personnel to meet operational requirements - had risen from 19 to 26 in the Army and 11 to 15 in the Royal Navy between 2011-12 and 2012-13 - although there was only one in the RAF.
According to the Ministry of Defence's 2012-13 report, jobs where there is a 40% shortfall of staff include:
There are shortages at nearly all levels of the Intelligence Corps, from the rank of private to major, while there are also shortfalls of bomb disposal operators, dog handlers, veterinary officers, interrogators and qualified engineers.
The committee said it was particularly worried about shortages of medical specialists available to be deployed in field operations.
While it noted that there was also a general shortage of such qualified staff in the NHS, it found they were particularly hard to replace in the armed forces because of their technical experience and qualifications.
While issues of manpower and recruitment were delegated to the three services, it said the Ministry of Defence could assist by providing additional funds to retain or recruit in key personnel, such as nuclear technicians.
"The Ministry of Defence should support the services in addressing shortages in pinch point trades - key shortages which leave the armed forces vulnerable now and in the future," it said.
James Arbuthnot, the Conservative MP who chairs the committee, said he was worried "about how seriously these shortages really are taken" by officials.
Substantial cuts to the regular armed forces, which will eventually reduce total army personnel from 102,000 to about 82,000 while aiming to increase the number of reservists from 19,000 to 30,000, have proved controversial.
Earlier this week, the Army launched a £3m promotional campaign in an effort to recruit new regulars and reservists.
A poll commissioned by the Army to mark the campaign's launch suggested that 23% of serving personnel were not satisfied with their current career.
In their report, the MPs raised concerns about the number of military personnel choosing to leave voluntarily, which is above the long-term average at 4.1% for officers and 5.8% for other ranks.
They suggested that repeated tours of duty without breaks may be "exacerbating" problems with morale.
It said figures in the MoD's annual report showed the so-called "harmony guidelines" - the recommended maximum amount of time spent away from home - had been breached 5.1% of the time in the Army in 2012-3 and 3.7% in the RAF.
The figure was much lower, at 0.6%, for the Royal Navy.
The MPs said such breaches were "unsatisfactory" and the government should set out a plan to ensure they did not happen at all in future.
Labour said the shortfall in key posts was "worrying" and urged Defence Secretary Philip Hammond to act on the report's recommendations.
"They are vital roles needed to support our armed forces and keep Britain safe and secure," said shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker.
The Ministry of Defence said it was confident that the UK had the "right personnel with the right skill sets to satisfy all strategic defence priorities".
"The armed forces are going through significant restructuring resulting in a small number of temporary shortages in some roles," a spokesman said.
"However, there are safeguards in place to ensure front-line operational capability is not affected."
Stephen Kelly said the work did not go ahead because of a lack of funds.
Keane Wallis-Bennett, 12, died at Liberton High School in April 2014.
But Mr Kelly told a fatal accident inquiry there had been no concerns over the wall and the proposal to remove it was part of a refurbishment programme.
Earlier, a teacher told the inquiry no one had reported concerns about the structure to her.
Mhairi Henderson said she had never seen anything about the fabric of the building that caused her concern.
She said she could not recall any pupil saying the modesty wall was wobbly.
The hearing in Edinburgh has previously heard of the moments after the wall collapsed and crushed Keane to death.
In a statement read to the inquiry on Tuesday, PE teacher Kerry Sweeney said she heard a bang from a girls' changing room.
She said she heard pupils shouting and saw panic on their faces. She described how she found a wall on top of Keane.
She said the pupil was lifeless, not conscious or breathing.
Both Ms Sweeney and head of PE Stuart Robertson said no-one had previously reported any problems with the modesty wall.
In her opening remarks on Monday, Sheriff Principal Mhairi Stephen said the two-week inquiry would focus on why the wall collapsed, why it collapsed when it did and the property maintenance regime at the school.
The inquiry at Edinburgh Sheriff Court continues.
Marcus Hutchins, 23, appeared in court in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
A trial has now been scheduled for October.
He shot to fame after helping to stall the WannaCry ransomware cyber-attack that struck the NHS and affected many other organisations around the world in May.
Mr Hutchins was arrested by the FBI on 2 August.
The Milwaukee court has granted the cyber-security researcher permission to work and use the internet again, though he will not be allowed access to the server he used to stop WannaCry spreading.
He must surrender his passport and will be tracked in the US via GPS during his release.
Mr Hutchins faces six charges relating to the development and distribution Kronos, a well-known piece of malware that gathered financial information from infected computers.
A second defendant, who has not yet been named, was also included in the federal indictment against Mr Hutchins.
"Marcus Hutchins is a brilliant young man and a hero," said Marcia Hoffman, one of his lawyers, who was speaking outside the court after the hearing.
"He is going to vigorously defend himself against these charges and when the evidence comes to light we are confident that he will be fully vindicated."
Brian Klein, a second lawyer, added: "We are very pleased today that the court modified his terms, allowing him to return to his important work."
Mr Hutchins was arrested shortly after visiting the Black Hat and Def Con cyber-security conferences in Las Vegas.
The cyber-security researcher is from Ilfracombe, Devon and works for LA-based firm Kryptos Logic.
He was granted bail on 5 August after $30,000 (£23,000) was raised by friends and family.
On Monday, President Andrzej Duda had vetoed a controversial law to replace Supreme Court judges with government nominees.
It came after thousands took to the streets across Poland in protest.
Mr Duda said he made his decision after consulting legal experts and judges.
The European Commission had threatened to impose sanctions this week if the changes were not scrapped. European Council President Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, had warned of a "black scenario that could ultimately lead to the marginalisation of Poland in Europe".
In a televised address, Ms Szydlo insisted that the Law and Justice (PiS) government would not back down.
"We all want to live in a fair Poland, this is why the reform of the courts is needed... Today's veto by the president has slowed down work on the reform.
"We cannot yield to pressure from the streets and abroad... We have a stable majority. We won't give in to pressure. We will realise our plan."
"As president I don't feel this law would strengthen a sense of justice," Andrzej Duda said in a statement on national television. "These laws must be amended."
He said he was vetoing two of the new laws but approving a third, which gives the justice minister the right to name the heads of Poland's lower courts.
Many were surprised, as the president is a former member of the right-wing ruling party which is pushing the legislation.
The PiS government has strongly rejected claims that the reforms are a move towards authoritarian rule and expressed disappointment at President Duda's decision.
The president had already intervened last week in an attempt to find a compromise.
He said he had discussed the reforms at the weekend, including with Zofia Romaszewska, a veteran dissident from the communist era. She was jailed during the years of martial law in the early 1980s but is now one of the president's advisers.
The activist had told Mr Duda she did not want to go back to the days when "the general prosecutor could do virtually anything".
Ms Romaszewska told Polish media it was completely out of the question for the attorney-general to take charge of the Supreme Court.
Opposition MPs also praised the role of protesters in influencing the decision.
Demonstrations have taken place in dozens of Polish cities, from Poznan and Lublin to Krakow, Gdansk and Warsaw, and there have been calls for the protests to continue.
Mr Duda warned that no change should lead to a separation of the state from society.
Poland's judicial system is widely viewed as slow and reforms are seen as necessary. "I'm absolutely a supporter of this reform, but a wise reform," said President Duda.
The three reforms give the justice minister and MPs broad powers and have prompted alarm from the US, as well as the EU.
The president's initial compromise plan last week watered down the government's bid to push through its nominees for the National Judiciary Council, by requiring the support of another political party.
In his statement, the president said he regretted that a draft law on reforming the Supreme Court had not been handed to him before a vote in the lower house of parliament, the Sejm.
The president also took issue with the strengthened role of the justice minister, who also acts as attorney general in Poland.
In theory, the Polish parliament could now challenge the president's veto.
Law and Justice has a simple majority in the Sejm but needs a three-fifths majority if it decides to reject Mr Duda's decision. It could theoretically achieve that with the support of a smaller party, Kukiz'15, but that is not seen as certain.
A more likely step would be to spend the next weeks redrafting the two bills that the president has turned down and seek his approval. The protest movement has celebrated its success so far but is now pushing for the president to veto the third reform as well.
Much now depends on the man seen as the real power behind the government, PiS co-founder Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
The Dow Industrial Average dropped 565 points earlier on Wednesday, but recovered slightly to the close 249 points down, at 15,766.7.
The S&P 500 lost 22 points, to 1,859, while the Nasdaq index fell 5 points to 4,471.69.
US crude oil fell below $27 a barrel, its lowest level since May 2003.
Brent Crude was down 2.1% at $28.16 a barrel.
The continued fall in oil sent energy stocks down. Exxon Mobil saw its shares drop 4% and Chevron fell 3%.
"The focus remains on oil and the impact of low oil prices, which points to slowing growth and possibly, even stagnant to negative growth here in the United States," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial.
Official figures showed that consumer prices fell 0.1% in December, the fall being largely explained by the falling cost of energy.
US markets have had their worst start to a year as investors worry about growth in China, rising US interest rates and a plunge in the price of oil.
Education Secretary Michael Gove wanted new O-level-style GCSE exams and tougher A-levels introduced in 2015.
But Ofqual said it could not be confident "high-quality GCSEs" or new A-levels in maths and modern languages would be ready so soon.
Mr Gove accepted the exam boards needed more time to get it right.
The education secretary has been clear he is in a hurry to change the exams system, describing the current GCSEs as "not fit for purpose".
But teaching unions, head teachers, examiners and elite private school leaders have expressed concerns about the pace of change to the system.
The regulator, Ofqual, warned soon after the shake-up was first announced that it would intervene if it thought the programme of reform was moving too fast.
In a letter to Mr Gove, just published on the Ofqual website, chief regulator Glenys Stacey wrote: "It is clear that the amount of work needed on GCSEs, including the development of strengthened regulatory arrangements, means we cannot be confident that new, high-quality GCSEs in all subjects could be ready in good time for first teaching from 2015."
The exams regulator says it will focus on the new GCSEs in English literature, language and maths - the subjects with which there are the "biggest concerns" - and hopes to have these ready for first teaching in September 2015.
But the new GCSEs in science, history and geography will be delayed until 2016.
Ms Stacey added a review looking at the planned new A-levels had found "fundamental" work was needed on maths and further maths.
More time would also be needed for new A-levels in modern languages, she said.
Mr Gove wrote back, saying he had agreed the reformed GCSEs should be "re-phased".
In the letter, dated 6 September, he says: "We must replace the modular GCSE treadmill with exams that encourage the skills universities and employers want, such as essay writing and mathematical problem-solving.
"That is why I wanted new GCSEs in core academic subjects to be in place for teaching from 2015.
"However, I accept that much more rigorous regulatory demands should be put in place and that Ofqual needs more time to develop them."
A spokesman for Mr Gove said: "Existing GCSEs encourage a 'memorise and regurgitate' approach to education.
"We urgently need to replace them with tests that encourage higher level skills such as essay writing, mathematical modelling, and problem-solving.
"Ofqual thinks that the necessary changes are so big that they and the exam boards need more time to make sure they get things right.
"We have to balance the urgency of fixing exams against the dangers of repeating past mistakes.
"Focusing on English and maths first makes sense.
"Many people have opposed reforming exams and criticise us for moving quickly - but if schools and exams don't change quickly, even more children will be failed."
Christine Blower, head of the NUT, said: "It was always a ridiculous idea of Michael Gove's that such massive changes to the examination system could be carried out so quickly.
"This delay will now enable the content and structure to be considered in greater detail."
She added: "It is useful for Ofqual to prioritise English and maths specifications as the first syllabuses to go into schools and colleges, but all the new qualifications should be trialled and evaluated before being introduced."
Russell Hobby, general secretary of heads' union, NAHT, said: "If the government is struggling to design the new exams in the timescales envisaged how much harder will it be for schools to develop programmes, write materials and train staff at the same pace? More haste less speed."
He was with a family member when he was hit by a silver Toyota Prius on Monday night at Hyde Park Gate, police said.
His mother was pushing him in a pram when he was hit by a cab in rush hour, the London Evening Standard reports.
The baby, who has not yet been formally identified, died in hospital at 21:50 GMT, and post-mortem tests will follow. The car driver stopped at the scene but was not arrested.
Anyone who saw the collision at about 18:10 GMT is asked to contact the Met Police.
"Sam", as she was known by thousands following her story, has been named as Ashley Menatta, 53, of California.
About five months ago she was found in Carlsbad, Southern California, unwell and with no memory of who she was.
Her nephew identified her from a US NBC 7 television show about her, according to NBC 7 and Sam's Facebook page.
He called his mother who then alerted the authorities.
NBC 7 says Ashley Menatta was born in Pennsylvania and had lived in Flagstaff, Arizona. Several years ago, she moved to Southern California where she lived in La Jolla, Vista and Carlsbad.
She reportedly loved travelling and never married. Her sisters, in Colorado and Maryland, are said to have lost track of her in 2013.
Ms Menatta described an "extremely emotional" reunion with her family. "We were all sobbing," she said. "They're so sorry I had to go through what I did during this time without them."
Ms Menatta was found "barely conscious" by emergency services in Carlsbad in February this year.
She told reporters she had been diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer after the authorities found her, and doctors removed a tumour the size of a volleyball.
Doctors told her she was likely suffering from "retrograde amnesia" - a type of memory-loss brought on during the onset of a disease.
Her slight Australian accent led many people, including US authorities, to suspect she may originally have been from Australia.
She also had strong memories of swimming at a beach in Perth, in Western Australia, and visiting other Australian holiday spots.
Australian consular officials had offered assistance in solving her case.
Her Facebook page, set up with assistance from a former nurse who got involved in the case, said prayers had been answered.
"Well, we have some great news," the post said.
"'Sam' (Ashley is her name) and I want to thank you all who have been sharing, searching, emailing, posting, private messaging, calling, texting, twittering, NBC Channel 7 in San Diego, Australian News, England News, police, Missing Australians, Australian Missing Persons Register, FBI, interpol, and everyone else!!!!
"We could not have done this with out all of your help!"
The all-rounder scored an unbeaten 99 to help the hosts post 455 before taking 4-32 to reduce Yorkshire to 128-6 at the close of play.
James Vince (147) was dismissed by Ben Coad (4-71), but Berg counter-attacked to extend the score from 302-7.
Berg then helped reduce Yorkshire to 46-5 - with new England Test captain Joe Root (8) among those removed.
Only Tykes skipper Gary Ballance (63 not out) provided resistance with the bat.
It was truly Berg's day, despite the 36-year-old ending Hampshire's innings stranded on 99 - one run short of only his third first-class hundred - and his first since 2011.
After Yorkshire's David Willey (2-86) had used the new ball to get rid of Lewis McManus and Liam Dawson in the space of three overs, Berg began to pick up his scoring with the tail.
He added 44 runs alongside Kyle Abbott (22) before Reece Topley and Brad Wheal frustrated the visiting attack, while Berg launched England leg spinner Adil Rashid for two sixes and eight fours to give his side a commanding first-innings total.
However, it was his efforts with the ball on a wicket that had previously looked flat that stood out, as he found enough movement on a nagging length to pin Alex Lees lbw, bowl Adam Lyth and have Root caught behind.
Abbott and Wheal then pinned Peter Handscomb and the returning Jonny Bairstow lbw, before Berg returned after Ballance had advanced the score to dismiss Tim Bresnan (21) caught behind.
Ballance and Rashid (16 not out) came together to stop the slide and reach the close without further damage but, with all their England stars in action, the 2014 and 2015 champions still endured a torrid day
Hampshire all-rounder Gareth Berg told BBC Radio Solent:
"We started the day wanting 500 and didn't get there but the last three partnerships amassed 153 runs, which is crucial in First Division cricket.
"I'm not bothered about my runs personally but to get those lower order runs puts other teams under pressure. I am still searching for that century but, if it comes, it comes.
"I had never bowled to Joe Root before but it was nice to bowl at him. He looked like he was scratching around and not sure what to do with me .
"So I just stuck to my guns and put it on the same spot every ball and hoped one would find the edge. It was great to see him walk back to the pavilion."
Yorkshire head coach Andrew Gale told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We started well to get the four wickets and then we let them off the hook. But fair play to Berg, He played well.
"Then this afternoon a couple of decisions didn't go our way but generally we were poor. It is definitely not a 128-6 pitch.
"The lads need to knuckle down and settle in and get the shine off the new ball and get some partnerships. Gary Ballance's form has been outstanding at the start of the season, since he took the captaincy,. He has shown he is a true leader on the field.
"Hampshire bowled well but we need to stand up and be better than that. We still back ourselves to get something from the game. We have been in similar positions and got something."
The claim: Migration from the European Union will increase the UK's population by between 2.58 million and 5.23 million by 2030. This would create a 28% to 57% increase in demand for A&E services.
Reality Check verdict: Some migration from the EU is expected but the assumptions behind these population forecasts are very unlikely to be realised. An increasing population would put additional demand on A&E but the extent of that increase has not been demonstrated.
The document makes broad predictions, but even so, some of the assumptions it makes are questionable.
The lower end of the forecast, that EU migration will rise by 2.58 million by 2030, is based on taking the most recent ONS net migration figure and multiplying it by 15.
But the ONS actually produces a forecast for total net migration by 2029 (so not just from the EU), which it expects to have added 3 million to the population by then.
Now there are uncertainties surrounding all forecasts, but it makes the bottom end of Vote Leave's forecast look somewhat high by comparison.
To get to the higher ends of the forecast, the research assumes that all five current candidate countries wanting to join the EU (Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia and FYR Macedonia) do so in 2020. This is very unlikely to happen. You can read more about why Turkey in particular is not going to join the EU by 2020 here. They also assume no transitional controls to limit migration from the new members. Existing states are allowed to impose seven years of restrictions to freedom of movement from new members, as the UK did with Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.
Add to that the impact of the new National Living Wage and you get to Vote Leave's "high" forecast of 5.23 million. The quote from Michael Gove above is supposed to illustrate the "medium" forecast, which excludes the effect of the National Living Wage to get to a figure of 4.25 million. The population of Birmingham is about 1.1 million.
It is hard to completely discount any forecast. Even so, the line about four Birminghams is hard to justify based on these such assumptions.
From the figures on the growing population, the research gets to a figure on the extra demand from A&E departments, concluding that it would lead to an increase in demand of between 28% and 57%.
It has reached these figures by looking at increases in A&E attendance since 2002 and noting a strong correlation with cumulative net migration over that time. In other words, attendances to A&E went up quickly at a time when there was continuous net migration to the UK.
This relationship is then used to predict how future migration would affect demand for A&E.
The problem is that while demand for A&E has gone up at the same time as there has been migration, the research has not demonstrated that one has caused the other.
While it is clearly true that higher numbers of migrants would mean more A&E visits, it could be that A&E attendances have gone up for other reasons as well, so the relationship is not reliable.

Ryles is working with England's defence for a two-week period before the match against South Africa at Twickenham on 12 November.
"Melbourne Storm have been in six of the last 11 NRL Grand Finals," England head coach Eddie Jones told BBC Sport.
"Relentless defence has been their trademark and that's what we want."
We've got a new nickname for him - The Mummy - he's got wrapping everywhere
The England squad is at a warm-weather training camp in Portugal, with Ryles assisting defence coach Paul Gustard over the next fortnight.
"Gustard has done an outstanding job in putting that defence together, so we just want that to get better," Jones added.
"It's a great learning opportunity for the coaches and the players. Defence is one of the pillars of our game."
On the injury front, Jones is hopeful lock Courtney Lawes will be fit to face the Springboks, despite a knee injury that forced him out of Northampton's match with Gloucester last Friday.
"We've got a new nickname for him - The Mummy - he's got wrapping everywhere," Jones said.
"But we are cautiously optimistic he is going to be right for South Africa. We expect him to start training at the start of next week.
"He's got bone bruising so there's some swelling there, but the medics are confident he's going to be all right."

Saracens' in-form prop Mako Vunipola is also struggling with a hip niggle, but is expected to train towards the end of the week in the Algarve.
Jones also says the camp will be crucial in assessing Dylan Hartley's fitness before the series. The skipper has only appeared twice for Northampton since early September because of a back problem.
"His attitude and his desire to get right is there, and if that is right then he is right," Jones added.
The England coach says there are contingency plans in place should Hartley not prove his fitness, with back-up hookers Jamie George and Tommy Taylor both playing well for their clubs.
Following the meeting with South Africa, England face Fiji, Argentina and Australia over successive weekends at Twickenham.
Meanwhile, Jones has warned Bath fly-half George Ford, who has been linked with a move to French club Toulon where his father Mike is head coach, that he will not be picked to play for England if he moves overseas.
England have a policy to only select overseas-based players in exceptional circumstances.
"It's an easy choice - you either sign for an English club or you sign for a French club. If you sign for a French club, you don't play for England," said Jones.
"I am not worried about it. I want players who want to play for England and to play for England, you've got to play for an English club."
White, 35, was injured during Connacht's win over Leinster at the Sportsground in Galway in March.
The former Waikato captain made his debut for Ireland in August last year and won 13 caps in all.
"While it's disappointing to finish this way I can look back at my career with a lot of pride," said White.
The New Zealand-born prop featured in all five of Ireland's 2015 World Cup matches and all of their 2016 Six Nations games.
He joined Pro12 champions Connacht in the summer of 2012, having spent a season at Leinster under present Ireland coach Joe Schmidt.
The dynamic front-rower played in 58 games over four seasons with Connacht and was introduced off the bench against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium to make his Ireland bow in a World Cup warm-up game.
The prop added: "I am retiring at 35 years of age and with so many great memories from my time playing in both New Zealand and Ireland.
"To have the chance to represent Ireland at the World Cup was an extremely special time in my life and something I will cherish forever."
The 33-year-old defender, who is playing for English non-league side Thamesmead, says his decision relates to his indefinite international ban.
He was suspended by the Sierra Leone Football Association over allegations of match-fixing over a year ago.
"The feeling and emotion are longer there, so I'm moving on with my life," Kargbo told BBC Sport.
Kargbo was banned alongside Ibrahim Koroma, Samuel Barlay and Christian Caulker - all four accused of attempting to fix a 2010 World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Pretoria in June 2008.
The quartet have protested their innocence and Kargbo is angry that he has not been cleared by an investigation.

"I'm quitting because of the suspension," Kargbo told BBC Sport. "I'm no longer going to play for Sierra Leone. It's not going to happen any more.
"It's not fair because it's now 15 months since the SLFA suspended us and they have not yet started investigations.
"Fifa didn't ban us from playing club football but I have lost contracts in England, China and Finland because of the match-fixing allegation. It has affected me greatly as it has stained stain my career.
"I'm leaving with a bitter heart and the feeling in me for my country's national team is bitter because I have been treated unfairly. No one is standing for us to fight for justice."
"I have worked for Sierra Leone, I have helped my people, so I don't deserve this. It's hard because this is not the way I wanted my career with the national team to end."
The SLFA secretary general Christopher Kamara says the matter is no longer within the governing body's control.
"I don't have anything to say on this issue because we have set up an independent investigation committee headed by Rtd Major Paolo Conteh to investigate the match-fixing allegations," Kamara told BBC Sport.
"The matter is in the hands of Conteh who had visited the Fifa headquarters on the issue. I can't make any statement."
The ban was imposed by both the SLFA and the Sierra Leone Sports ministry but the latter lifted the suspension.
Kargbo is also being investigated by Dutch football authorities for allegedly fixing matches when he was playing for Williem II. He has denied the allegations.
He made his senior international debut for Sierra Leone against Ghana in 2000 in a 2002 World Cup qualifier in Accra and took over the Leone Stars captaincy 10 years later after former Inter Milan and Monaco striker Mohamed Kallon relinquished the position.
His last appearance for Sierra Leone came against Equatorial Guinea in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Freetown.
The 21-year-old joined League One's seventh-placed side on an emergency loan from Brighton, promoted to the Premier League on Monday.
Walton spent the first half of the season at Luton Town, currently in the League Two play-off places.
"What a trivia question that would be," said Walton.
"Brighton are obviously up, and then I'm hoping we can do it here and Luton are in a good position as well.
"It would be a great thing for all of them as they're such good football clubs and deserve to be up there."
Walton joined the Shrimpers on an emergency loan deal on 1 April after an injury to Ted Smith and hopes for the deal, which was extended by seven days on Sunday, to continue to the end of the season after making five appearances so far.
Walton had played for the fourth-tier Hatters on loan earlier this term, before being recalled by the Seagulls in January, but failed to feature for them.
"I jumped at the chance to come and play football again. I had a good spell at Luton earlier in the season and it was a little bit disappointing going back to Brighton and not getting any gametime there," he told BBC Essex.
"To be around this place with a play-off battle is a thing that will set me in good stead for my career. I've had four loan spells now, I'm 21 and I've just racked up the games.

A photo of Wolfram Gottschalk, 83, and his wife, Anita, 81, went viral after their granddaughter shared their story.
Ashley Baryik, 29 said her grandparents have been separated because there is no room for both of them at the same home in Surrey, British Columbia.
Mr Gottschalk, who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, is on a waiting list to move into the same home as his wife.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ms Baryik posted a touching image of her "Omi and Opi" wiping away tears as they held hands, adding that it was "the saddest photo I have ever taken."
The image has been shared more than 6,000 times online.
Ms Baryik explained that her grandparents were separated in January when Mr Gottschalk went to hospital for congestive heart failure.
While waiting to be placed in nursing home, his wife, Anita, also applied for senior assisted living with the aim of joining her husband.
Mrs Gottschalk was placed in a home first while her husband was moved to a transitional facility, where he continues to wait for an open bed at his wife's home.
"It's heartbreaking for my grandmother, she wants to bring her husband home every night," Ms Baryik told the BBC.
The couple, who have lived apart for eight months, cry every time they are able to see each other, she added.
"It's been emotionally draining for both of them."
Ms Baryik said she appealed for help on Facebook after Mr Gottschalk was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this week, bringing a new sense of urgency to reunite the couple.
The family blamed the couple's separation on "backlogs and delays by our health care system".
Ms Baryik said the family's pleas to Fraser Health had not been answered over the last eight months, but a spokeswoman contacted them on Thursday to say that finding her grandfather a bed was their number one priority.
The outpouring of support, Ms Baryik said, has been overwhelming, but the family refuses to take donations in order to keep the focus on Canada's senior care system.
"Taking money defeats the purpose for fighting for families who can't afford privatised beds," she said.

Originally from Leicester, before moving to Scotland, he would visit Filbert Street "back in the day" to watch his local team.
"The atmosphere, especially if you were Asian, was very intimidating, not very welcoming at all," he said.
"These days I would say the situation has considerably changed and for the better."
On Sunday, he was with his daughter Ria to witness Singh Sabha Slough beat London APSA 6-1 to win the UK Asian Football Championship.
The event, now in its 18th year, aims to raise the profile of Asians in football and encourage debate around barriers to participation.
Seven-year-old Ria took photos to share with the rest of her family, and said she would be telling her school friends about her "exciting time" at Celtic Park.
"I would encourage members of the Asian community to take their children to football," Mr Sandhu added.
"If you don't then how do you expect them to break into the sport?
"I hope to take her to other matches as well. I don't want this to be a one-off."
The UK Asian Football Championship is organised by the Scottish Ethnic Minority Sports Association (Semsa) in partnership with Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Life, Rangers Football Club and Celtic Football Club.
Preliminary games were played at Glasgow Green Football Centre last Friday and Saturday .
Andy Singh, who came to watch the final at Celtic Park with his son Connor, said Asians should give the same priority to football as cricket.
"Cricket is very time consuming and going to international matches is not cheap," he said.
"My son was pestering me to take him to today's game.
"He doesn't do the same when it comes to cricket."
The competition attracts teams from across the country representing the various diverse strands of Britain's South Asian communities.
The challenge for the organisers is to encourage those watching the showpiece game to attend more matches throughout the year.
A 'Singh' or 'Khan' playing at the highest level for a big club would also make a similar impact as Amir Khan
One way to attract and increase members of Asian communities to matches would be if players, mainly from Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds, were playing regular club football.
However, such a sight is extremely rare throughout the various leagues across Britain - Neil Taylor of Swansea City is currently the only Asian playing in the Premier League.
His mother was born in India, yet many people are unaware of his background as he does not having an Indian-sounding name.
Semsa president Dilawer Singh said he hoped the event would help raise the profile of the issue.
"Whilst we have yet to witness a breakthrough of Asian talent reaching the professional game, I remain hopeful events such as the championship will retain this rather emotive issues on the radar," he said.
In the past, racial stereotypes and myths purported that a "wrong diet" or a 'lack of physique' prevented Asians from making a significant breakthrough.
Some credence was also given to "religious and cultural" reasons.
However, it is worth noting that last season's PFA Player of the Year - Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez - is a Muslim.
Back at Celtic Park the manager of losing finalists London APSA, said a change of mindset from within would result in real change.
"Look at what Amir Khan has done in terms of boxing," Khalid Pervaiz said.
"Asian parents saw what he achieved by winning a [silver] medal at the Olympics [2004] and from there were happy for their sons follow in his footsteps.
"A 'Singh' or 'Khan' playing at the highest level for a big club would also make a similar impact.
"Young Asians would have someone who shares their names, looks like them and talks like them, so it would be someone who they could relate to.
"Parents would also see football as a relevant career choice for their children.
"They would push and encourage them especially when they are young."

The actress-director attracted criticism over her description of the casting process for her film about the Khmer Rouge.
She described how directors had played a game which involved giving money to poor children then taking it away.
Jolie has fiercely denied playing tricks on the children.
She said this week that "every measure was taken to ensure the safety, comfort and well-being of the children" and that the report was "upsetting".
The film, First They Killed My Father, was directed by Jolie and is based on a true-life account of a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide. It is told through the eyes of a child.
In a statement on Thursday, Vanity Fair said it had been contacted by Jolie's lawyer who accused the interviewer, contributing editor Evgenia Peretz, of "mistakenly" reporting about the audition.
The magazine said it was asked to remove the paragraph describing the casting process from Peretz's report online, and run an apology and statement saying that the children were not tricked.
But Vanity Fair refused, saying it stood by Peretz's story after reviewing audiotapes of the interview.
It also ran a section of the interview's transcript. In it, Jolie says that she was not at the auditions herself, but that the casting team had told the children "a camera's coming up and we want to play a game with you".
"And the game for that character was 'We're going to put some money on the table. Think of something that you need that money for.' Sometimes it was money, sometimes it was a cookie. [Laughter] 'And then take it." And then we would catch them."
Shortly after the original report was published, Jolie was accused on social media of manipulating and emotionally abusing the children.
She responded earlier this week saying that "the suggestion that real money was taken from a child during an audition is false and upsetting".
She added it was "a pretend exercise in an improvisation, from an actual scene in the film", which was "written about as if it was a real scenario" in the magazine's report.
First They Killed My Father is Jolie's directorial debut for streaming giant Netflix.
Jolie told the BBC earlier this year that she hoped the film would help Cambodians speak more openly about their period of trauma.
Silverwood has not taken charge of a game since overseeing Hull FC's win over Hull KR at Magic Weekend in May.
It is his third suspension, having been stopped from officiating in 2009 for a breach of the RFL's information and technology policy, and again in 2011.
The RFL has not disclosed the circumstances leading to the inquiry.
Silverwood's 2009 suspension followed an alleged leak of confidential information to a trade union, while the 2011 disciplinary procedure resulted from an "off-field incident" during a game between Huddersfield and Leeds.
Meanwhile, fellow referee Sam Ansell has also been suspended pending an investigation.
The 26-year-old was added to the nine-man panel of full-time match officials in January.

Property prices increased by 10.1% in the year to March compared with a year earlier, the lender found, making the average home worth £214,811.
This annual growth accelerated from 9.7% seen in the previous two months.
But the housing market could "soften" over the coming months amid uncertainty over the EU vote, the lender said.
The UK will have a referendum on 23 June on whether or not to remain a member of the European Union.
Martin Ellis, housing economist at the Halifax, also said that "worsening sentiment" regarding the UK economy might also be a factor in slowing the market.
However, the number of homes on the market is still outstripped by demand. This, alongside low interest rates and low unemployment, leads Mr Ellis to conclude that there is still likely to be "robust" house price growth ahead.
Last week, the Nationwide Building Society reported that in the year to March, house price inflation across the UK stood at 5.7% - up from 4.8% in February and the fastest rate for more than a year.
Last month, the Office for National Statistics revealed that the regional gap in house prices was widening. Prices rose by 8.6% in England in the year to the end of January, it said, compared with a 0.1% rise in Scotland, a 0.8% rise in Northern Ireland, and a 0.3% fall in Wales over the same period.
Commentators agree that a lack of supply is likely to hold up prices.
"At the coalface there is still a general shortage of the sort of property that people want to buy," said north London estate agent, Jeremy Leaf.
"Although more property is coming onto the market, much of it is aimed at investors who understandably are more reluctant to proceed because of higher stamp duty charges."
Since 1 April, landlords and those buying a second home have faced a 3% stamp duty surcharge on new purchases.
The Halifax said house prices have risen by 2.9% in the first three months of the year compared with the previous quarter, and by 2.6% in March compared with February.
Various surveys record UK house prices on a monthly basis, but they all have slightly different methodology.
The house price index by the Nationwide Building Society 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.
A survey by the Halifax, now part of Lloyds Banking Group, is published a few days later. Lloyds is the biggest mortgage lender in the UK with 20% of the market and, like the Nationwide, uses its own home loan data.
Figures from the Land Registry are widely considered to be the most robust but are published much later than the lenders' data. It calculates the price change for properties that have sold multiple times since 1995. This survey only covers England and Wales.
A survey is of house prices in Scotland is published by the Registers of Scotland, using a simple average of house prices. The Land and Property Services assisted by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency produces a quarterly house price index in Northern Ireland.
The official UK statistical authority - the Office for National Statistics - is another well-regarded survey, used for reference by government. It offers a UK-wide regional breakdown. It draws on data from the regulated mortgage survey by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, so excludes cash buyers of property.
Housing market sentiment is reflected in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) survey of some of its members.
Various other surveys include a Hometrack review of house prices in UK cities, and a Rightmove survey of asking prices.
DeepMind is a privately-held company founded by Demis Hassabis, a 37-year-old neuroscientist and former teenage chess prodigy, along with Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman.
According to DeepMind's website it builds "powerful general-purpose learning algorithms".
But what does Google plan to do with its newly purchased expertise?
The company has not issued a detailed statement on the acquisition, but that has not stopped industry observers from trying to work out the motives behind it.
Google has recently bought a number of robotic companies and artificial intelligence is often associated with the development of these machines.
Several news websites asked if Google was planning to combine its robot and AI purchases and build "Skynet" - a reference to the fictional, self-aware artificial intelligence system that features in the Terminator films.
But the tech news site Re/code reported that the DeepMind team would report to Google's search team and not its robot division.
According to the site's sources, the team at the AI company were working on "a game with very advanced game AI, a smarter recommendation system for online commerce, and something to do with images" before the acquisition.
DeepMind had trained software to play video games without teaching it the rules. It had published a paper explaining how computers could learn to beat expert players of several Atari games.
Previous projects that Jeff Dean - who heads the team at Google that DeepMind will join - has worked on might give clues to how Google would use its new talent, reported Re/code.
In one project, a network of 16,000 computers taught itself to recognise photos of cats after analysing 10 million stills from YouTube videos. Another involved a "deep network" used for the "purposes of large visual object recognition tasks and speedy speech recognition".
Alternatively the founders of DeepMind could find themselves working along side Ray Kurzweil who joined Google in 2013 reported TechCrunch.
He is one of the "most prominent individuals associated with the singularity movement" which is the theory that "human beings and artificially intelligent machines will sync up to push innovation forward at an unprecedentedly fast rate."
He has said that he wanted to create a search engine so sophisticated that it could answer questions without you actually asking.
It appears that if DeepMind's expertise is used for search then the company wants assurances in place that it will not be abused. The Information news site reported that Google had agreed to set up an ethics board to make sure this did not happen.
The 22-year-old former Barnsley, Chesterfield and Scunthorpe player was released by Shrewsbury in the summer after 59 appearances in two seasons.
"I know Billy Kee and a lot of people at Shrewsbury spoke highly about the manager," Clark told the club website.
"I want to get a full season under my belt and be successful and help the club be successful."

Danny Wright gave Town an early lead when he superbly controlled James Rowe's cross and volleyed home.
Wright then had a penalty saved by Joel Dixon after Jack Barthram was fouled before James Dayton and Dan Holman had shots cleared off the line by Barrow.
Simon Grand levelled for Barrow from Dan Pilkington's corner before Hall pounced on a loose ball late on.
Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"Barrow put us under a bit of pressure, they got the ball forward early, had runners and looked quite dangerous. They got the equaliser and we had to make a couple of slight changes.
"But actually Asa Hall, who'd gone to right-back, got the winner for us so that was great and nice to go top of the league.
"We don't let in many goals so, if we let in one, we've generally only got to score two to win a game and that's what we did. You have to come here and you have to battle. Our lads did."
The eight ex-managers were ordered to testify in person, after plans for them to appear via video link caused outrage among victims' relatives.
A total of 45 people are on trial over the Soma mine disaster, with the managers facing lengthy sentences.
An underground fire sent deadly carbon monoxide through the mine. An inquiry criticised the mine's safety measures.
It is considered modern Turkey's worst industrial accident.
Prosecutors want the eight managers, who include former chief executive Can Gurkan and general manager Ramazan Dogru, to be handed prison sentences of up to 25 years, multiplied 301 times.
In his initial testimony read by a clerk on Wednesday, Mr Gurkan said he could not be held responsible for the safety problems at the mine, according to the AFP news agency.
"I am not an engineer, a technician or a workplace safety expert. I am just an executive and as I have no technical expertise, I cannot be held responsible for the accident," he was quoting as saying.
The managers were not brought to court in Akhisar, about 50km (30 miles) from Soma, on the first day of the trial on Monday for security reasons.
But the hearing was adjourned until Wednesday because the court said the accused must testify in person.
Defence lawyers are expected to use footage, obtained by BBC Turkish earlier this week, which shows miners preparing for their shift before the disaster and workers fleeing the scene as it unfolded.
At one point, a desperate miner gestures towards the camera appealing for help. A rescuer is seen kicking a door in frustration at not being able to do more.
Several hundred angry relatives protested outside the special tribunal on Monday, but police prevented them from getting in.
Demonstrations broke out after last year's disaster, fuelled by an apparently insensitive comment by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was prime minister at the time. He said accidents were "in the nature of the business".
The International Labour Organisation says Turkey has the third-highest rate of workplace accidents in the world.
Barker, 21, was part of the British team that won gold at Rio 2016.
"I'm going to have a break now, then come back and re-evaluate what I want to do next year," said Barker.
"But I'll probably take a little step away from team pursuit and maybe do some more individual races instead for the next year at least."
Barker, from Cardiff, added: "I'm very interested in the individual track races so the points race, the scratch race, the individual pursuit.
"Also I was junior time trial world champion four years ago now and it would be nice to, as a senior rider, have a go at that and maybe see if I could win nationals or something like that."
Barker's Welsh compatriots Owain Doull and Becky James have also won medals in Rio.
Doull was the first Welsh competitor to win gold for Britain in the men's team pursuit and like Barker came through the ranks at the Maindy Flyers club in Cardiff.
"It's really special. We rode for the same club when we were little. I think Maindy Flyers has got a lot to answer for," said Barker.
James took keirin silver and hopes to win a sprint medal after setting a new Olympic record in qualifying.
Barker says she is now a "fan" in Rio having already enjoyed the success of Welsh compatriot Jazz Carlin, who claimed two swimming silvers for Britain.
"Watching Jazz Carlin, particularly, was a very special moment to me," said Barker.
"I've been following her progress for quite a few years since she did so well at the Commonwealth Games in particular.
"To see her come here and do so well is amazing."
A damning inquest prompted The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to review its probe into Jordon Begley's death in 2013.
Last July, jurors concluded Mr Begley had been "inappropriately and unreasonably" Tasered and restrained.
It is the first time the IPCC has made such an application.
Mr Begley, 23, died in hospital two hours after he was shot by a police officer with the stun gun at his home in Gorton, Manchester, in July 2013.
An IPCC spokeswoman said concerns were raised at the inquest about the conduct of officers involved that "may not have been consistent with the IPCC's findings"
She said a judicial review, which will take place on a date to be decided - was required to change the report.
"This is the first time the IPCC - whose own report was never published - has applied to judicially review an independent investigation.
"The IPCC has applied to judicially review its own decision on one previous occasion, but this related to an appeal determination rather than an independent investigation," she added.
Eleven officers attended Mr Begley's home after his mother called 999 to report he had a knife.
He was shot with the 50,000 volt stun gun from a distance of 28in (70cm).
While the initial Taser shock did not cause his heart to stop, the jurors found the Taser and the restraint "more than materially contributed" to a "package" of stressful factors leading to Mr Begley's cardiac arrest.
The jury concluded PC Terence Donnelly pulled the trigger of the stun gun for eight seconds - longer than was necessary.
Jurors also said police were "more concerned with their own welfare" than that of Mr Begley's.
The factory worker offered "minimal resistance" and there was "no need" for one officer to punch him a second time in a "distraction strike" as they handcuffed him, the inquest heard.
Jurors also concluded he was left too long face down with his hands cuffed behind his back.
The RSPCA is trying to trace a "middle aged" woman who was seen kicking the animal at the bottom of flats in Sprignall, Peterborough, at about 14:30 BST on Tuesday.
"She was screaming 'stupid hedgehog' and kicking the little animal around continuously," RSPCA inspector Justin Stubbs said.
The hedgehog was treated at a vet's but put down the following day.
Mr Stubbs said the animal was "twitching, clearly in great agony".
"There is no excuse for such a senseless attack, and I can't imagine what could have motivated it," he said.
"I have known cases like this with young children who don't know any better, but for a grown woman to attack an animal like this is just baffling."
Willie Young admitted he emailed confidential legal advice to one of the campaigners against the controversial £107m Marischal Square project.
Offices and a hotel are being built on the site of the former council headquarters.
Mr Young, who referred himself to the Standards Commission, was formally censured.
He is Aberdeen City Council's finance convenor.
The incident happened before protestors failed in their bid to get the development halted last March.
Councillors voted by 22-21 to continue with the project.
Commissioner for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland, Bill Thomson, told the hearing: "The circumstances are relatively straightforward and are not in dispute."
Roddy Dunlop QC, who represented Mr Young, said: "This is the electronic equivalent of leaving a confidential memo on a bus."
Mr Dunlop said: "He is demonstrably of good character and a man devoted to his work as a councillor who is extremely distressed to have found himself in the circumstances that he does."
Panel member Julie Ward said the panel had decided to censure the councillor because he was sincerely apologetic and had reported himself.
She said: "The panel would remind all councillors of the importance of due care and consideration in handling information that is of a confidential nature.
"The panel do recognise councillor Young's significant contribution to public life."
They also want the existing restriction of five hits in the last furlong, or after the last jump, abolished.
However, the riders are not opposed to the total maximum number of strokes in a race remaining at eight on the Flat or seven over jumps.
The dispute over tougher regulations nearly led to a strike on Monday.
But that threat receded when the Professional Jockeys Association (PJA) the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) on 17 October to possibly 'amend' some of the newly implemented whip regulations.
A main difference between the PJA's proposal and the new rules, which were introduced on 10 October, is that there would be no forfeit of riding fee or prize money.
On Saturday, Belgian jockey Christophe Soumillon was stripped of his £50,000 winnings from Champions Day at Ascot.
PJA chief executive Kevin Darley said: "There is now a process of proper consultation and discussion involving jockeys which should have happened before the original announcement by the BHA last month.
"Had we been properly consulted over some of the important details that relate directly to jockeys prior to that announcement we feel that we would not be in the position we are today.
In hindsight we would like to have given more thought and consideration to the new rules before commenting
"Jockeys have no issues with the restricted amount of times they can use the whip under the new rules. The careers of jockeys are short by definition and the implications of financial penalties and long suspensions are savagely disproportionate."
The PJA would also like to see the penalty structure altered, with just a two-day suspension (currently five days) for one hit over the limit, four days for two more, and 10 days for three extra strikes of the whip.
Initially, jockeys Frankie Dettori and AP McCoy believed that the new rules were a positive step forward. However, in a joint statement, the two jockeys have now said: "In hindsight we would like to have given more thought and consideration to the new rules before commenting.
"We didn't give them properly informed approval and we really do wish the BHA would stop saying that we did."
Meanwhile, former champion Flat jockey Ryan Moore has called for a complete return to the old rules.
"You can't put a number on what is abuse, you could hit a horse once and it could be abuse and you could hit a horse 20 times and it wouldn't be," he told Racing UK.
The 33-year-old utility back is the Premiership's top points scorer this season, with his side topping the regular season table.
Owen Farrell - who can also play 10 or 12 - is the England men's player of the year after helping his side to back-to-back Six Nations titles.
Tamara Taylor took the women's prize after their Grand Slam.
Former New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter - the all-time leading points scorer in Test history - was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Fellow New Zealander Gopperth, who has played at both fly-half and inside centre this season, topped the Premiership points charts with 266 as Wasps ended the regular season top of the table for the first time.
"I'm very humbled and surprised to win this award and I am even more proud of the recognition shown by my fellow players," he said.
"I am very lucky to be a part of such a driven and successful club and my team-mates deserve this award as much as I do.
"I'm sure I will look back at this moment down the track and be extremely proud."
Former Harlequins' forward Nick Easter, who retired from rugby last year, was given the special merit award.

A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, Toni has scored 156 Serie A goals in 343 games - for eight different clubs.
He became the oldest player - at 38 - to win the Serie A golden boot, finishing joint top with Mauro Icardi last season on 22 goals.
Toni also had a spell in Germany and was the Bundesliga's top scorer in 2007-08 with Bayern Munich.
In 2005-06, he won the European Golden Shoe, for the leading goalscorer in the continent, with 31 goals for Fiorentina.
Farmbox Meats owner Dafydd Raw-Rees and employee Colin Patterson mislabelled goat as lamb or mutton.
Raw-Rees, who falsely labelled and broke food traceability regulations, received a conditional discharge.
Patterson received a 12-week sentence suspended for two years after admitting a traceability charge and 17 labelling offences.
The business based at Llandre, Aberystwyth, was raided by Food Standards Agency officials in 2013 at the height of an inquiry into the horsemeat mislabelling scandal.
However, none of the charges brought against the two men related to horsemeat.
Farmbox Meats Ltd went into receivership in June 2013.
Southwark Crown Court was told record-keeping at the plant was "a shambles".
The Food Standards Agency, Dyfed-Powys Police and Ceredigion council carried out a joint inquiry, which led to the accusations against the two men over the mislabelling of goat meat products.

The 2014 winner struggled throughout, but seemed buoyed for the evening session after winning the longest frame in Crucible history to tie at 12-12.
Selby never again trailed after an epic frame lasting 76 minutes 11 seconds.
And he held his nerve in an error-strewn finale to reach Sunday's final.
Ding had earlier completed an impressive 17-11 win over fellow qualifier Alan McManus to become the first Asian player to reach snooker's showpiece event.
However, Fu's failure to capitalise on Selby's struggles during the opening three sessions ultimately cost him the chance of making the best-of-35 frame final an all-Asian affair.
The titanic 24th frame, which beat the previous record of 74 minutes and 58 seconds set by Mark King and Stephen Maguire in 2009, finally seemed to spark both men into life.
Thankfully the dreary and bumbling nature of the morning session gave way to much-improved evening fare.
Selby led three times, scoring a half-century and a ton on the way, while Fu hit three half-centuries and his fourth ton of the match to stay in touch and then draw level at 15-15.
The main talking point up until then was not the impressive break-building, but an incident in which Fu seemed to brush a red ball with his hand when bridging to strike the cue ball.
The world number 14 did not declare a foul and referee Brendan Moore did not see it, but it remained an issue on social media where it divided opinion.
"I haven't got a clue what shot you are talking about it. Obviously I did [touch it] but I honestly can't feel it," said Fu.
Selby, who is now in his third Crucible final, went on to win the frame with a break of 63, and he clinched victory in frame 32 - another hour-plus tactical epic - thanks to a brilliant snooker on the final brown.
"For three sessions I was really poor and more or less hanging on to Marco's coat-tails," said Selby.
"When Marco was in, it looked like an art - and when I was in, it was more like a scribble.
"I need to play better than that."

China's Ding Junhui created history in the other semi-final when he became the first Asian player to reach the final.
The qualifier took three of the four frames played on Saturday to beat Scotland's Alan McManus 17-11. His seven century breaks was a record for the most centuries in a Crucible match.
McManus, 45, was the oldest player to reach a semi-final since Ray Reardon in 1985.
The Scot could not match his opponent's ruthless form as Ding, watched by 27.1% of China's national TV audience, wrapped up his seventh win since beginning his qualifying campaign against Greg Casey on 9 April.
Ding will be the first qualifier to contest the final since Judd Trump was beaten by John Higgins in 2011.
"I would probably put Ding as a slight favourite," said Fu. "All the Asian snooker fans will support him and it would be great if he won it. He can handle the pressure."
"I just don't think they should have said it out loud," he told the Radio Times. "Why say it? Just do it.
"By saying it, you're undermining the female on the panel show because now she's thinking, 'Am I here because I'm funny or because they needed one?'"
Danny Cohen, the BBC's director of TV, announced the policy change last year.
"We're not going to have panel shows on anymore with no women on them," he told the Observer. "It's not acceptable."
Last year Mock the Week host Dara O Briain also questioned the way the change was revealed, saying female guests would now just be seen as "token women".
"I have nothing against this idea that there be women on panel shows," he said. "My only objection was to announcing it."
Responding to that criticism, Mr Cohen said he introduced gender rules because some shows were taking too long to catch up.
"It was like pushing water up a hill," he told a BBC panel on diversity last year. "We kept saying it, and it wasn't happening.
"We got to the point where we thought, this is not acceptable anymore, this doesn't reflect the world we live in.
"In a leadership role, I can either keep pushing and hope it's going to evolve, or I can set some really clear examples to provide a beacon for what our expectations are."
Manford, soon to be seen in new BBC One drama Ordinary Lies, said he liked female comedians to appear on comedy line-ups as it "makes [the night] better".
"Me and my brother have got some comedy clubs and we always make sure there's a female either on the bill or a female MC, because it just makes blokes act differently.
"When I see a female act who's totally nailing it, I think, 'Well, she's worked harder than most blokes to get to this point,'" he continued.
"That's why you only see brilliant female acts on the telly whereas there's a lot of mediocre male comics on TV. Because there's loads of us."
The former One Show host is currently playing Leo Bloom in a touring production of Mel Brooks's musical The Producers.
The 36-year-old competed in five consecutive Olympics in a 16-year career, winning silver in the quadruple sculls in Athens and Beijing.
At Rio 2016, Houghton was part of the crew who delivered Britain's first ever women's eight Olympic medal.
"Having achieved my goal of going to five Olympic Games, this is the right time for me to retire," she said.
Houghton, who made her Olympic debut in 2000, added: "To row at an elite level was my dream since the age of 11, and winning silver in Rio with such an inspiring, fun and motivated team was the perfect end."
In addition to her Olympic success, Houghton was part of four World Championship-winning crews in the quadruple sculls.
Police were called to the Llandegfan house last October after neighbours reported not seeing the Reverend Basil Bevan, 85, for sometime.
Officers found his body in a mummified state, the inquest heard. His wife was also living at the house.
The coroner recorded a verdict of death from natural causes.
Officers who spoke to the vicar's wife decided she was unwell and took her to hospital.
The inquest in Llangefni was told that in interviews Pauline Bevan described how her husband had a heart attack in November 2010.
Dewi Pritchard Jones, senior coroner for North West Wales, said there had been problems identifying the body.
A DNA comparison with the cleric's brother only gave a partial match because of the poor quality of the sample.
The coroner said he was satisfied the body was that of Dr Bevan who, on the balance of probabilities, died of heart disease.
Mr Pritchard-Jones said: "Neighbours had commented to a police officer that they hadn't seen the Rev Basil Bevan for some time and there was concern regarding his welfare.
"After some time Mrs Pauline Bevan came out of the property and there was a discussion with the police officers present. She appeared to be unwell and was taken to hospital.
"The police then went into the property, being concerned regarding Dr Bevan's welfare. When they went inside the property they found it was in a considerable state of disarray.
"On searching it they came across mummified human remains. The remains were not capable of visual identification."
He added: "For reasons that are not matters of concern for an inquest the body was allowed to remain at the property."
The cause of Dr Bevan's death was recorded as heart disease and the verdict was natural causes.
He was believed to have been ordained in 1955 and spent most of his career in Wales, serving in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon before moving to north Wales in 1978.
The tender for the check-up programme will be advertised shortly.
Former Economy Minister Simon Hamilton ordered the move, which could help reduce some of the RHI scheme's anticipated £490m overspend.
There are 1,200 sites to be inspected, according to data supplied to companies interested in bidding for the contract.
The botched energy scheme was set up in 2012 when Arlene Foster was minister at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, in an attempt by the Northern Ireland Executive to help to increase the consumption of fuel from renewable sources.
However, businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for renewable fuel, and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed.
The fallout from the scandal, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
Under the inspections plan, site visits will be unannounced.
The Department for the Economy would expect a final report on findings by December, and then decide what enforcement action to take.
This could involve the clawback of payments.
The cost of inspections has previously been estimated at £2m.
However, those bidding tor the contract will be asked for quotes which will be assessed as part of the tender evaluation.
Some site inspections were carried out for the department last year, after an Audit Office report last year identified major problems with the scheme.
The unarmed Missouri teenager was killed by police minutes after he left the shop.
Prosecutor Robert McCulloch attacked the CCTV footage released in the new documentary as a "pretty pathetic attempt at a video production".
He released five videos himself that show more of the alleged exchange.
Mr McCulloch said the newly released series of videos proves that the documentary had been edited in a "clear attempt to distort this and turn it into something it isn't".
Brown was killed by a police officer in a confrontation that happened shortly after he left the shop, in August 2014.
Policeman Darren Wilson stopped him because he was walking in the middle of the road, not because he was suspected of robbing a shop.
Mr Wilson was cleared of wrongdoing but the fatal shooting sparked months of unrest, and a national debate about police use of force.
Footage released by police shortly after his death showed him appearing to assault the shopkeeper and stealing cigars.
That version of events has been challenged this week by filmmaker Jason Pollock.
The new film, Stranger Fruit, claims that Michael Brown had traded cannabis for cigars, and that he had returned to the shop hours later to claim them.
As part of the documentary, Mr Pollock used surveillance footage from inside the shop, which he said proved that an exchange with shopkeepers had taken place around 01:15 the night before Brown's death.
The videos show Brown handing a small bag to employees, which they then smell.
Mr McCulloch says the video released by his office shows that "there certainly was an attempt to barter for these goods", but argued that the shop employees never took the deal.
"It's very clear there was no transaction between Mr Brown and the store employees and to suggest he's coming back to get what he bartered for is just stupid," he added.
A lawyer for the shop also slammed the film, saying Mr Pollock had created a "wild story" that had opened up old wounds.
Protesters stood outside the shop on Monday, discouraging shoppers from going inside.
The night before, when news first emerged of the new footage casting doubt on police statements, nearly 100 people protested in the car park.
Police cleared those protesters and arrested two people for committing acts of violence against officers.
Ferguson Police Chief Delrish Moss says the city was preparing for more potential unrest.
Froch, 38, from Nottingham, who has been crowned world champion four times, has now retired from the sport.
The super-middleweight fighter's last bout ended in victory against George Groves in front of a record breaking crowd at Wembley in May 2014.
Injury ended plans to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Las Vegas in March.
Last week Froch said he would consider returning to the ring for one fight to reclaim his title.
The boxer, who has won 33 of his 35 fights at super middleweight level, grew up in Gedling, just outside Nottingham.
When he was notified of the MBE in June, he said it was a "massive honour and a big surprise".
He became an honorary freeman of of the city in September 2014.
Hunt, 34, made 24 appearances for Pompey during his season with the club.
Midfielder Amine Linganzi has also been released after one season and has joined Swindon after scoring once in 23 games for Portsmouth.
Fellow midfielder Stanley Aborah, who joined on a short-term deal in February from Notts County, has also been allowed to find a new club.
The Megalosaurus was found in Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, and was the first dinosaur to be named in 1824.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have created a 3D scan of the dinosaur and found previously unseen teeth.
They said the research would help with future restoration on the specimen.
Professor Mark Williams, from the university, said he had conducted the research using scanning technology from aerospace and automotive engineering.
He took more than 3,000 X-ray images of the dinosaur's jawbone, creating a digital three-dimensional image of the fossil.
He said the image had allowed him to see inside the creature's jawbone for the first time and he was able to trace the roots of teeth and the extent of different repairs.
"The scans have revealed previously unseen teeth that were growing deep within the jaw before the animal died - including the remains of old, worn teeth and also tiny newly-growing teeth," he said.
"Being able to use state-of-the-art technology to scan such a rare and iconic natural history specimen was a fantastic opportunity."
He added the scans would help the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, which owns the specimen, make important decisions about any future restoration work.
Andre Schurrle put Chelsea ahead before Frank Lampard levelled for 10-man City.
Pellegrini, 61, said: "I think we played 90 minutes against a small team trying to defend.
"I would not be happy to play that way. Ten players defended their own half, they scored a counter attack and they continued to defend until the end."

Pellegrini likened Chelsea's style to that of Stoke's, who beat the Premier League champions 1-0 at the Etihad in August.
"I think we played against exactly the same team we played against Stoke here," he added. "It was very difficult for us to score but finally we did. The result is not what both teams did during 90 minutes.
"I don't want to analyse Chelsea. What the other teams do, it is not my duty to analyse."
City battled back into contention following the second-half sending off of Pablo Zabaleta after the Argentina defender was involved in a tussle with Chelsea's in-form striker Diego Costa.
"I am happy because our team played in one way, we continued playing with 11 players, trying to score, and with one player less trying not to have another counter attack and concede a goal," said Pellegrini.
"We continue with the same ambition, teams will find it hard to beat us. The team performance was very good."
Responding to Pellegrini's criticisms, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said: "Many times he says he doesn't speak about me or my team but he continues to do so. Don't ask me about these words."

It was left to former Stamford Bridge midfielder Lampard, on loan at City from New York City FC until January, to secure the point which ensures City remain five adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
Pellegrini said he knew the former England international, who scored 211 goals in 648 appearances for the London club, would have an impact against his long-time team-mates.
"I was sure that if Frank Lampard plays he will score, things like that happen in football," he said.
"He will be a very important player for us. From the beginning he has been involved 100% in every day.
"I think that maybe he was not happy to score against such an important team for him, but he is very professional."
Not the G7 grouping of the biggest economies, or even the G3, but the G1 - where America would be the sole decision-maker. It may not be too surprising since the US has been the sole economic superpower for most of the post-war period.
But times are changing.
A big sign of the shift was when the British and other Europeans, as well as allies such as Australia and South Korea, all signed up to the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to be founding members.
Their actions were over the objections of the Americans, who are not only concerned about China leading the AIIB - which is a competitor to the World Bank, a multilateral institution led by the US - but also about not being consulted beforehand by the Brits who have a "special relationship" with America.
I was reminded of this when I was recently in Indonesia chairing a session at the World Economic Forum. The chair of Asean, the organisation of the 10 nations of south east Asia, confidently told me that the Asean Economic Community (AEC) that they are concluding by the end of the year will rival not only the European Union, a single market with a similar population, but the United States as well.
It struck me that for countries who were rescued by the Bretton Woods institutions based in Washington DC (the IMF and the World Bank) just a decade and a half ago during the Asian financial crisis, it was quite a shift that south east Asia now see themselves as competitors to the world's biggest economy.
The confidence of Asians - not just the Chinese but other Asians too - was notable.
Just a decade or so ago, Asians couldn't push through the establishment of an Asian IMF in the aftermath of their financial crisis as America objected to competing multilateral organisations. Now, there's not only the AIIB, there's also the Brics bank that is set up by the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Perhaps that's one sign of declining influence. After all, America as the sole superpower holds effective vetoes over the main multilateral institutions which have led not only development but how countries are rescued and economies are managed for most of the past century. Those days look numbered as China in particular wields its economic muscle globally.
If a country doesn't like the programmes offered by the IMF or World Bank, it could presumably go to the AIIB. Though the Chinese would insist that the AIIB is focused largely on Asia and infrastructure, the World Bank too started out focused on reconstruction in Europe - so institutions evolve. And the changes are in one direction: towards greater control by China of international policies.
For some economists, this isn't surprising. The weight of global economic activity has been shifting East. The IMF finds that China is as important a driver of global growth as America, and that trend is set to continue even with the slowing down of Chinese growth.
Having another engine of demand surely helps a world economy that is struggling to get back to robust growth rates after the 2008 financial crisis. Wouldn't Americans like to have other nations shoulder some of that burden?
That's a question that I have posed to American audiences over the years. Wouldn't it be better not to have all of America's actions scrutinised for global impact? Ending quantitative easing and raising interest rates because it suits the US economy wouldn't be a subject of criticism, for one.
Of course, America will remain in the spotlight because despite being challenged, the US is still the most important economy and its policies hold worldwide consequences. Even if China overtakes it in terms of aggregate size, Americans will be richer in per capita terms and therefore be a more important consumer market for the rest of the world for some time to come.
But it's the relative decline of power that stings. After all, the Brits and other nations decided that any political repercussions from a displeased America weren't enough to outweigh the economic gains of supporting China. Other nations are hedging their bets as they position themselves in a new multi-polar world where the US is no longer the sole economic engine.
To be clear, they're not turning their backs on America. The US remains important - not just economically, but in political and military terms.
But for the US, it's hard to get used to not being the sole superpower. The AIIB and Brics bank sitting alongside the World Bank and IMF will be stark reminders.
Britain was overtaken by America in the early part of the last century. Perhaps there are lessons to share there.
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag had been due to address expatriates in Gaggenau in support of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's controversial reforms.
But local authorities withdrew permission for the rally, saying the planned venue was not big enough.
Turkey arrested a German-Turkish reporter last week, straining ties.
Deniz Yucel, who works for Die Welt, is accused of producing terrorist propaganda and undermining the Turkish government.
Many Turkish writers and journalists have been arrested in a widespread crackdown that followed a failed coup against Mr Erdogan in July 2016.
The decision to summon the German envoy was made by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavosoglu, Reuters said, quoting ministry sources.
Mr Bozdag has already cancelled his planned visit to Germany, where he had been also due to meet his German counterpart.
"It is unacceptable that German authorities, who constantly lecture us about human rights, democracy, rule of law, free speech... do not tolerate a meeting organised by the Turkish community," the Turkish minister said.
However, Gaggenau officials said they had cancelled permission for the rally due to space considerations.
"Because the event is now known across the region, the city expects a large number of visitors," local authorities said in a statement.
"The Bad Rotenfels hall [in Gaggenau] parking lots and access road are insufficient to meet that demand."
Mr Bozdag had been expected to encourage the Turkish community in the western German town to support Mr Erdogan's controversial proposals to give greater powers to the presidency.
The Turkish authorities say the changes are needed to bring stability, while opponents say the reforms would cement one-man rule in the country.
Turkish citizens living abroad are eligible to vote in a referendum on the issue in April.
Several million people of Turkish origin currently live in Germany.
Sian O'Callaghan, 22, went missing on Saturday after failing to return home.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher said the search had made "good progress" but would be limited to daylight hours and would be assisted by dog teams on Thursday.
"I believe we are getting very close to identifying Sian's whereabouts," he said.
He added he was not asking for any more public assistance at this stage.
Earlier on Wednesday detectives said "significant lines of inquiry" were being developed.
Mr Fulcher said he had now discounted large parts of the forest and the inquiry was moving rapidly.
He said new techniques had given police a "tighter search parameter".
Mr Fulcher said the public were no longer being asked to join the search but appealed for anyone with any information to contact police.
Miss O'Callaghan has been missing since leaving the Suju club to walk half a mile (800m) home to the flat she shares with boyfriend Kevin Reape, 25, at about 0250 GMT on Saturday.
A signal from her mobile phone was picked up from Savernake Forest, near Marlborough.
Mobile records put her phone in the area of the 4,500-acre wood 32 minutes after she left the club.
Police have said Miss O'Callaghan's journey to the woods could only have been made by car.
Mr Fulcher said: "I've been able to use new technological techniques to provide a tighter search parameter and have been able to rule out large areas of the six-and-a-half mile radius we have all been searching.
"Those tactics are being urgently progressed today by specialists."
He added: "The inquiry moves on at a rapid pace with significant lines of inquiry being developed.
"The public have been fantastic in support of the search for Sian O'Callaghan and I'm very grateful.
"I may need further support from the public closer to the weekend but for now I would ask that people monitor the force website, media and social networks for my further requests if they are required."
Ch Supt Steve Headley said further use of mobile phone technology had produced several "hot spots" that specialist search teams were examining.
"That doesn't mean we are going to find anything specific, but we have got more of an idea from the technology where to look first," he said.
Mr Headley added that Miss O'Callaghan's family were coping "as well as you or I would in these situations".
"It must be awful for them," he said.
Her friends and her boyfriend joined the search on Tuesday along with coach loads of local people, many of whom did not know the missing woman, after a police appeal for help.
A £20,000 reward to help find her has been offered by an anonymous donor.
Miss O'Callaghan, who works as an office administrator, had an LG E900 Optimus mobile phone and police have asked for anyone who finds one to contact the force.
A vigil and prayer service was held for her at St Barnabas Church in Gorse Hill, Swindon, on Wednesday evening.
About 200 people of all ages came together for the service and worshippers were able to light candles and say private prayers.
More than 60 police officers are working on the investigation which is being treated as a missing person inquiry.
The 42-year-old, who was linked with Wolves, joins Nigel Pearson's backroom staff having been Leicester City's lead youth development coach since 2013.
"I felt it was time for a change and I now have this great opportunity because of Nigel," he told the club website.
"I have missed Derby County. I always said this is my club and I have that feeling that I am back at home."
Buckingham Palace said the 86-year-old monarch is suffering from gastroenteritis.
She had been due to present members of 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh with leeks to mark St David's Day.
She will now spend the weekend at Windsor and will be "assessed in the coming days".
By Peter HuntRoyal correspondent
At 86, the Queen has robust health. She's opened countless hospitals. She's rarely been an inpatient.
So it's unusual for her to pull out of an official engagement. The last time was five months ago when she had a bad back.
While she rests at Windsor Castle this weekend, her doctors and officials will have to decide whether or not she is well enough to fly to Rome next week. She has been invited by Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano.
It will be an encounter between an elected head of state who is retiring and a hereditary monarch who continues to reign.
As well as a formal ceremonial welcome and a private lunch, the Queen is also due to visit the Pantheon, the ancient Roman monument where two Italian kings are buried.
Theirs was a monarchical dynasty less fortunate than the House of Windsor.
Gastroenteritis causes an inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines.
The infection can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated food and drink. Symptoms can include vomiting, fever and stomach ache.
It was due to be the first time that the Queen was to present leeks to 3 Royal Welsh, which is the reserve force of the regiment.
However, Saturday's ceremonies, including a parade to Swansea's Guildhall, have still taken place - despite the Queen's absence.
The Lord Lieutenant of West Glamorgan, Byron Lewis, took over the ceremonial role.
Saturday's celebrations were due to follow other royal events on St David's Day itself on Friday in Cardiff.
The Queen's illness could also affect a planned two-day trip with the Duke of Edinburgh to Rome next weekend. She has been invited by Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano.
A palace spokesman said the visit was still due to take place but a decision will be made after she was assessed.
On Thursday, the Queen spent the day at Buckingham Palace where she presented honours to a number of Britain's 2012 Olympic winners.
Olympians honoured included heptathlon winner Jessica Ennis, who received the CBE and Team GB cycling boss Dave Brailsford who was knighted.
The tapes formed the basis of a 2009 decision by prosecutors to drop the charges against Mr Zuma.
Ms Zille won a five-year legal battle to obtain the tapes to assess whether prosecutors had acted correctly.
Mr Zuma was accused of taking bribes in a multi-million dollar arms deal.
He denied the charges, insisting he was the victim of a "political conspiracy" hatched by his opponents in the governing African National Congress (ANC) to prevent him from becoming president.
He has said he welcomes the release of the tapes.
Ms Zille walked out of the High Court in the capital, Pretoria, with a "tamper evident security bag" containing transcripts of recordings and a memory stick.
"South Africa's democracy depends on this case. No-one is above the law," she told her supporters.
The handover followed a ruling by the Supreme Court of Appeal last week that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) should give the tapes to Ms Zille's Democratic Alliance (DA).
Intelligence officials allegedly intercepted telephonic conversations while Mr Zuma was being investigated by an elite anti-corruption unit known as the Scorpions.
The tapes were given to South Africa's then-chief prosecutor Mokotedi Mpshe.
He dropped the charges, saying the tapes proved there had been "political interference" in the case and Mr Zuma would be denied a fair trial.
Mr Mpshe's decision came just ahead of the 2009 elections.
The ANC won the elections, opening the way for Mr Zuma to become president.
He was re-elected earlier this year, retaining a huge majority in parliament.
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that if John Walker, 66, dies, his husband is entitled to a spouse's pension, provided they remain married.
The ex-cavalry officer said it would "drag" the government "into the 21st century", while human rights group Liberty said "thousands" could benefit.
A government spokesman said it would review the implications of the ruling.
BBC legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman said the decision will have "a dramatic effect on the entitlement of thousands of civil partners and spouses in same sex marriages".
They will now enjoy the same pension rights and entitlements as those in a heterosexual marriage, our correspondent added.
The ruling means Mr Walker's husband - who is in his 50s - will now be entitled to a spousal pension of about £45,000 a year, rather than around £1,000 a year.
Mr Walker said it was "to our government's great shame that it has taken so many years, huge amounts of taxpayers' money and the UK's highest court to drag them into the 21st Century".
He added: "Finally this absurd injustice has been consigned to the history books and my husband and I can now get on with enjoying the rest of our lives together."
Mr Walker took legal action as he wanted to ensure that, should he die first, his husband would receive an adequate pension.
The majority of occupational pension schemes give 50% of the value of a pension to a spouse for the rest of their lives after their husband or wife dies - without taking the marriage date into account.
However, the Equality Act 2010 has an exemption for employers, allowing them to exclude civil partners from spousal benefits paid in before December 2005.
The Supreme Court has now ruled the exemption under the 2010 act is "incompatible with EU law and must be disapplied".
Emma Norton, a lawyer from Liberty, which represented Mr Walker, called on the government to promise Brexit would not threaten the ruling.
"This ruling was made under EU law and is a direct consequence of the rights protection the EU gives us," she said.
"We now risk losing that protection. The government must promise that there will be no rollback on LGBT rights after Brexit."
A government spokesperson said the rights of same sex couples had been "transformed for the better since 2010".
During the hearing, it said the cost of applying the ruling retrospectively would be £100m for private sector schemes and a further £20m for the public sector.
Griffiths hit the net either side of half-time as Celtic beat Dundee United 4-1 at Tannadice to move six points clear at the top of the Premiership.
In recent years, the club have cashed in on the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama, but Deila says Griffiths is going no-where.
"He's vital for us," said Deila.
"He works so hard and is an unbelievable finisher. He's also creating space for the others, for Tom Rogic and for Kris Commons and Stuart Armstrong."
Griffiths got Celtic underway with the opener when he took advantage of a slip by United defender Gavin Gunning before Jozo Simunovic headed in a second.
Simon Murray briefly got the hosts back in the game, but after Griffiths scored a third, Kris Commons volleyed in a sublime fourth.
"To score four goals away is always difficult," Deila told BBC Scotland. "We could have scored more but lost the ball too much.
"There was so much space and they really wanted to go forward.
"Confidence is very important. Winning games gives you confidence so we should be confident. We saw a lot of good play today."
Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen saw some positives from his side and urged them to build on that ahead of a crucial home meeting with Kilmarnock next weekend.
Already 11 points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership, United cannot afford to slip further behind.
"I thought the attitude was excellent and we did create a couple of openings," said the Finn.
"Celtic defended well, but on a couple of occasions we got behind them and worried them, but I felt we gave the ball away far too easy.
"We should have been more patient on the ball. We were too anxious.
"Next week is a massive game. That's what I told the players in the dressing-room.
"We put our sights now on next weekend, make sure that everybody is ready and give Kilmarnock a good game.
"They'll come here and be direct and be very dangerous, they've got plenty of power up front and it won't be easy.
"But, if we are patient, we take our positions right and we take care with our passes, we can worry them." | Being a football fan in the 1980s was not easy for Asians, according to Jasvir Singh Sandhu.

A caller to the Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks complained that the number of "ethnic minorities" in Sleeping Beauty was not representative of the town.
Producer Jamie Wilson responded with a wry open letter that said: "Skin colour should not be relevant. How many is too many?"
"My first draft was a bit angrier", he added.
Mr Wilson said he chose the cast - which includes Ricky Norwood, from EastEnders, and singing group Cleopatra - based on their ability and suitability for the production, which runs from 2 December to 8 January.
He said a member of box office staff was upset and frustrated by the enquiry and told the caller - who he is calling Mr Smith to protect his identity - there were white people in the cast of around 24, as well.
But "Mr Smith" replied that there were "still five of them", Mr Wilson added.
He chose not to reply personally to "Mr Smith", who had asked for a response, but to send an open letter to Kent Live "to make people stop and think".
"It's so shocking that someone should be so brazen," he said.
His letter mocks the complaint and suggests he could not find suitable candidates from the good people of Sevenoaks.
"All the middle-aged bankers are too busy with the daily commute to take five weeks out to star in panto," he wrote.
And of Cleopatra lead singer Cleo Higgins: "I mean, she's black, but I guess she can sing a bit."
According to the 2011 Census, 0.9% of Sevenoaks' population is black, African, Caribbean or black British, compared with 3.3% for England and Wales.
Only 7% of the 900 doctors who took part in a BMA Scotland survey said the amount of time they had to see patients during consultations was adequate.
The group said GPs were under "immense pressure" due to an "unsustainable" and rising workload.
The Scottish government said it was "significantly increasing" the level of investment in primary care.
There have been warnings that Scotland is facing a shortfall of hundreds of family doctors, amid falling staff numbers.
The survey by the British Medical Association contacted a total of 900 professionals in Scotland, and 91% of them said their workload had "negatively impacted on the quality of care given to patients".
When asked what the best way of improving the situation would be, 44% of respondents said increased funding to support general practice should be the top priority.
A further 36% identified GP numbers as the best goal, while 18% identified longer consultation times.
Dr Alan McDevitt, chairman of the BMA's Scottish GP committee, said the survey reflected the "immense pressure" that doctors in Scotland were feeling.
He said: "The rising workload is simply unsustainable and something has to change to make general practice in Scotland fit for the future.
"It is essential that the additional £500m per year promised by the Scottish government is spent directly on supporting general practice.
"Giving us more time with patients, expanding the GP workforce and supporting the practice based primary care team will help to ensure the quality of care that our patients receive remains of a high standard."
Health Secretary Shona Robison signed a joint agreement with the BMA about the future direction of GP services in November.
She said she was committed to working with the profession to redesign services and provide more support for GPs, allowing them to spend more time with patients.
She said: "We are significantly increasing the amount of investment going into primary and GP care - an extra £500m by the end of this parliament.
"However, as we have made consistently clear, we must also reform the way we provide services.
"These reforms, coupled with the additional investment, will help to improve the attractiveness of general practice as a career, reduce workloads and create a more sustainable workforce."
The Scottish Conservatives said the survey was "the latest in a long line of warnings" to the SNP over Scotland's "GP crisis".
Party health spokesman Donald Cameron said: "Posts are being left unfilled, patients can't get quick appointments and projections for future service levels are becoming increasingly dire.
"The SNP has been in sole charge of health for a decade and it can't get away from the fact it is responsible for this situation.
"That's why we believe at least 10% of health funding should go to general practice by 2020 to ensure GPs are able to cope with present and future demands."
Scottish Greens health spokeswoman Alison Johnstone added: "GPs are under enormous pressure and Greens support the call for a greater share of health funding to go toward general practice.
"Scottish ministers also need to review the way funding is dispersed as GPs in deprived areas dealing with the health impacts of poverty have the heaviest workloads yet do not receive a fair share of funding."
Lib Dem health spokesman Alex Cole-Hamilton said: "When 91% of GPs are telling the Scottish Government that rising workloads are hitting standards of care, it's clearly time for the government to put their hands up and work to address this problem.
"Scottish government ministers need to ensure that working practices are fit for the future and Scotland's GPs have the support and resources they need."
The 7-1 shot, ridden by James Doyle for trainer Lady Cecil, won by a neck from Al Kazeem with Free Eagle in third.
Doyle was later given a seven-day ban and £10,000 fine for whip overuse.
Frankel's final victory came two years ago in this mile-and-a-quarter contest, the feature race on Champions Day, the richest raceday in Britain.
Noble Mission led from the front and dug in to secure an emotional triumph.
Lady Cecil took over Noble Mission's training licence after the death last summer of her husband, 10-time champion trainer Sir Henry Cecil who oversaw Frankel's unbeaten 14-race career.
"James gave him a great ride as he (Noble Mission) really had to dig deep," said Lady Cecil. "He's just enjoying it so much these days - he loves his racing.
"It's a great team effort, I'm so lucky."
Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for Noble Mission's owner, Khalid Abdullah, added: "It's a fairytale, it really is."
While romantics may have hoped Frankel's younger brother might be good enough to also win the race, it was the French-trained Cirrus Des Aigles who was sent off favourite.
Cirrus Des Aigles won the 2011 Champion Stakes and was runner-up in the next two runnings to Frankel and Farrh, but was out of the places on this occasion.
A stewards inquiry cautioned Doyle about his future conduct, finding him "guilty of careless riding" in the final furlong by taking second-placed Al Kazeem "marginally off his intended line".
Doyle said: "I'm not fuming - there are rules and at the end of the day you have to abide within them, but it is frustrating.
"In the heat of the battle, it is hard to keep count, and I didn't realise I'd gone over. I'll have a look at an appeal but I think it's unlikely."
Earlier, Forgotten Rules triumphed in the Long Distance Cup as The Queen's horse Estimate finished last in her final race.
The 3-1 winner, ridden by Pat Smullen for Irish trainer Dermot Weld, triumphed by a length and three quarters in only his third career start.
Biographer (25-1) was second, with 8-1 chance Pallasator in third, while favourite Leading Light came seventh after the winner swerved across him.
Jockey Ryan Moore was toiling on the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Estimate from a long way out and eased the filly up near the line.
It was a far cry from June 2013, when the horse won the Gold Cup at the course, the first time that race had been won by a reigning monarch.
The Queen's racing and bloodstock advisor, John Warren, said: "You cannot take the good things away. I think Estimate gave The Queen the biggest thrill she probably ever had in racing.
"The long and short of it is Estimate is now off to stud."
Estimate finished runner-up to Leading Light in this year's Gold Cup but was disqualified from the June contest after testing positive for morphine, which was attributed to innocently contaminated feed.
Ireland took the second race too with the admirable Gordon Lord Byron claiming the Champion Sprint Stakes under Wayne Lordan.
Trainer Tom Hogan said it was a "fairytale" victory for the globetrotting horse whose next stop is likely to be Hong Kong in December,
Charm Spirit scored for France in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes as runner-up Night Of Thunder, ridden by Richard Hughes, struggled for room and could not catch the victor.

Meanwhile after Madame Chiang took the Fillies and Mares Stakes for David Simcock, jockey Jim Crowley revealed it was the first time he had sat on the horse.
"So I didn't really know what was under the bonnet. But I'd watched all her races and David had told me all about her and gave very good instructions," said Crowley.
A statement on the club's website said an agreement had been reached to buy Archway Sheet Metal Works' property, in Paxton Road, Tottenham.
The Premier League club has planning permission for a 56,000-seater stadium at White Hart Lane.
It said it would take possession of the land later this year to give the firm time to relocate.
In November, a fire gutted the Archway premises, located close to White Hart Lane. The cause of the blaze is not known, but police were treating it as suspicious.
A High Court ruling in February upheld the Haringey Council compulsory purchase order of the site and the firm decided earlier this month not to appeal against the decision.
The statement posted on the club's website on Tuesday read: "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, Archway Sheet Metal Works Ltd and the Josif Family (Archway) are delighted to announce that a private agreement has been reached for the purchase of Archway's property on Paxton Road by the Club.
"In order to allow Archway to relocate its business appropriately, the Club will not take possession of the land until later this year."
The 30-year-old right-back joined Pompey over the summer after being released by Chesterfield.
Talbot, who has made six appearances in all competitions this term, picked up the injury in training last Thursday.
"It's a big blow for us but it's part and parcel of the game," Cook told BBC Radio Solent.
Meanwhile, striker Kal Naismith has been taken off the transfer list at Fratton Park.
Aine Davis, 33, of London, had been arrested in 2015 near Istanbul.
He was found guilty of being a senior member of a terrorist organisation and jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
The BBC understands Davis was one of a four-man IS cell nicknamed "The Beatles", which included the person dubbed Jihadi John.
Davis, the only one of the group to face a trial, had denied the charges against him.
One of the group's former captives welcomed the conviction by a Turkish judge at the court in at Silivri.
Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa, who was subjected to mock executions, told BBC News it did not matter where Davis was tried.
"He should face justice wherever it is. It doesn't matter if it's in England or Turkey or wherever. He should be in jail forever."
Davis is a convert to Islam who has a string of drug and firearms convictions in the UK.
He left his home in west London in 2013 and joined the so-called Islamic State group.
His wife, Amal El-Wahabi, was jailed in November 2014 for funding his terrorism following a trial at the Old Bailey.
Davis was arrested in November 2015 in a counter terrorism operation centred on a house in Silivri, a coastal town just outside Istanbul.
The trial heard how he had been tracked there by Turkish police and intelligence officials days after being smuggled out of Syria by IS.
Monitoring of encrypted text messages suggested he was meeting an unnamed man suspected of plotting a terror attack in Turkey.
When police raided the house in Silivri they found a group of men, including three other Britons who were also accused of being members of a terrorist organisation - IS - charges they each denied.
The case was recently dropped against two of them - Mohammed Karwani, 40, from London, and Jermaine Burke, 29, from High Wycombe, who will be deported to the UK.
Two other men were convicted by the court, while a third Briton, Deniz Solak, 33, from east London, was found not guilty.
Days after the arrests IS operatives killed 130 people in Paris. Press reports in Turkey suggested Davis was suspected of planning a simultaneous attack but he was never accused of that in his trial.
In court, the prosecution said Davis was a senior member of IS.
Asked about allegations that he was a friend of the IS hostage killer Mohammed Emwazi or "Jihadi John", he admitted knowing him from praying at the same west London mosque, but denied being a friend.
Davis told the judge that press stories falsely claimed he was one of the British IS guards - nicknamed "The Beatles" - who held and killed hostages.
He said he was not the head of that unit, adding: "I am not ISIS. I went to Syria because there was oppression in my country."
Speaking in English before the verdict, he told the court: "I want to make clear I am innocent of the charges…
"I don't even know why this case has taken so long to judge. I just want my freedom."
Despite these denials, the BBC understands Davis was one of the four Beatles. Emwazi was killed in a US missile strike days after Davis was arrested.
The US State Department recently named fellow west Londoners Alexanda Kotey, 33, and El Shafee Elsheikh as the other British members of what they called an "execution cell" accused of "beheading more than 27 hostages and torturing many more".
They are understood to still be in IS territory in Syria.
The aim to cut debt has now been set to between $16.5bn and $17.5bn (£12.5bn-£13.5bn) by the end of this year.
The attempt to further improve the company's balance sheet comes as it reported a 66% drop in first-half profit to $300m.
Glencore's half-year results showed it had been affected by turbulent commodity prices.
In March the aim was to cut debt to between $17bn and $18bn. Despite the fall in profits, the company said asset sales left it on track to cut debt.
"We have already largely achieved our asset disposals target of $4bn to $5bn with a diverse and material pool of asset sales' processes also ongoing," said chief executive Ivan Glasenberg.
On Wednesday, the company also announced the planned sale of all future output of gold and a 30% stake in its Ernest Henry copper mine in Australia to Evolution Mining for A$880m ($670m) to help pay down debt.
Edward Sterck, metals and mining research analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said: "The underlying results are broadly in line with our forecast, the further asset sales are a positive here."
Glencore, along with the rest of the mining industry, has had a tough few years.
In September last year, Glencore's shares dived after a note from analysts at Investec said its equity value could be "eliminated", although Glencore responded that it was "operationally and financially robust".
When Glencore listed on the London market in 2011, it priced its shares at 530p. However, since then, its share price has struggled.
Following the Investec note and plummeting commodity prices, the company put a recovery plan in place. It scrapped paying shareholders a dividend, began selling assets and slashed spending.
Investors will be hoping for the reinstatement of the regular dividend payment after chief financial officer Steve Kalmin said it was "likely" the company would return to a full-year dividend. Glencore paid an interim dividend of six cents a share last August.
Former Motherwell man O'Brien, 26, was available after turning down a new contract with Barnsley.
Swanson, 27, played 47 times for Peterborough last season but rejected a new deal with the Posh.
On Swanson boss Steven Pressley told the club website: "We weren't the only club looking to sign him so to get a deal done is great news."
Pressley added of O'Brien: "He is a player of proven Championship quality and his energy, work rate and team ethic along with that quality makes him a perfect fit for us."
The Scottish duo are the first players to join the Sky Blues this summer.
Thousands of rescuers worked through the night around the upturned hull of the Eastern Star in Hubei province.
Five people are confirmed dead and 15 more have been found alive from a ship that was carrying 456 people.
Frustrated relatives have been venting their anger at the lack of information.
The boat went down at about 21:30 local time on Monday evening (13:30 GMT). Most of the passengers are elderly Chinese tourists.
The survivors include the captain and chief engineer, both of whom have been taken into police custody.
The captain said the boat was caught in a cyclone and went down in minutes.
The upturned hull now lies in about 15m (50ft) of water in the Damazhou section of the Yangtze.
Transport Minister Yang Chuantang said: "It's a race against time. As long as there's even a little hope, we will give it 100% and will absolutely not give up."
Divers carried out at least two remarkable rescues from the upturned vessel on Tuesday, including one of a 65-year-old woman.
Hubei military region commander Chen Shoumin told Chinese television divers had taken breathing apparatus into the ship and spent five minutes showing her how to use it.
"That old woman had a very strong will and learned very fast, and after 20 minutes she surfaced to the water and was rescued," Mr Chen said.

No doubt for some of those on the Eastern Star it would have been the trip of a lifetime.
And the Three Gorges Dam - a place of pilgrimage in its own right and a powerful symbol of China's rising economic might, attracting about two million visitors a year - now has its part to play in the rescue. The dam's engineers have been ordered to reduce the water volume flowing through the giant turbines.
The sinking of the Eastern Star will resonate widely.
A boat full of everyday Chinese tourists - from grandmothers and grandfathers down to the youngest listed passenger at just three years old - has been lost in the waters of the country's best-loved river.

Could weather front be behind Yangtze sinking?
Three divers also found a 21-year-old man in a small compartment. They supplied diving apparatus and he swam out by himself.
Recalling the rescue, diver Guan Dong said: "I swam back and forth three times, and by the third time I felt somebody was up there above me. As soon as I got out of the water, I noticed the trapped victim. It was pitch dark inside, with just him inside the cabin and nobody else."
Three of the bodies were reportedly recovered in Yueyang, Hunan province, some 50km away.
Mr Chen said: "We will do everything we can to rescue everyone trapped in there, no matter they're still alive or not and we will treat them as our own families."
One survivor, tour guide Zhang Hui, told the Xinhua state news agency that heavy rain had come through cabin windows and many passengers went into the ship's hall to keep sheets and other items dry.
He said the ship then began to toss violently, to an angle of 45 degrees.
Mr Zhang said he had "30 seconds to grab a life jacket" and tried to hold on to what he could find to keep his head above water as the vessel overturned.
He clambered out of a window in the torrential rain. "Wave after wave crashed over me; I swallowed a lot of water," he said.
Mr Zhang said he heard the cries of at least a dozen other people in the water but after about 30 minutes, they all fell silent and he finally drifted into reeds and was rescued.
Chinese television said 6in (150mm) of rain had fallen in the region over the past 24 hours, with reported wind speeds of up to 80 mph (130 km/h).
The 76m-long, 2,200 tonne Eastern Star - Dongfangzhixing in Chinese - had been carrying 405 Chinese passengers, five travel agency employees and 46 crew members.
The vessel, owned by the Chongqing Eastern Shipping Corporation, was travelling from the eastern city of Nanjing to Chongqing in the south-west - a journey of at least 1,500km (930 miles).
Relatives on those on board confronted officials in the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing.
Some family members had gone to the Shanghai offices of the tour operator that handles the bookings, Xiehe International Travel, but they were closed.
Wang Sheng, whose mother and father are on board, said: "I cried all the way here and I can't find anyone, the door is locked."
Relatives were then taken to government offices where they became frustrated at the lack of information and scuffles broke out.
Zhang Yingli, 56, whose brother and wife were among the passengers, said: "It's 4:30 now and we haven't heard anything from anyone except the news. No-one has come to reassure us."

Muhammad Rabbani faces a charge of failing to disclose his password after being detained at Heathrow Airport under counter-terrorism stop-and-search powers, the organisation has said.
Mr Rabbani was stopped at Heathrow in November, but refused to give officers access to his phone and laptop.
Cage describes itself as an independent advocacy group "working for those impacted by the War on Terror".
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that Mr Rabbani, 36, attended an east London police station on Wednesday.
A spokesman for Cage said Mr Rabbani was charged with wilfully obstructing or seeking to frustrate a search examination under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 over the incident at the airport in November.
That law gives officers special powers to question and detain for up to six hours any individual passing through a UK port, airport, international rail terminal or border area.
Cage, whose main role is to support those who have been affected by UK counter-terrorism legislation, said Mr Rabbani had been released on bail and would be challenging the charge.
Midfelder Clifford, 23, spent last season with National League Boreham Wood, making 21 appearances as he helped them survive relegation.
"This is a great chance for him," Crawley head coach Dermot Drummy said. "I think he can be a part of what we're trying to achieve at the club."
Clifford has also previously played for Colchester and Walsall.

Michael Danaher, 51, stabbed Adrian Greenwood to death after drawing up a list of wealthy targets that also included Kate Moss and Jeffrey Archer.
The 42-year-old was found dead at his Oxford home in April. He had been stabbed 16 times, the judge said.
Danaher has been jailed for life with a minimum of 34 years.
He told the jury at Oxford Crown Court he had acted in self defence, but it took about two hours to find him unanimously guilty.
Passing sentence, Judge Ian Pringle said Danaher, from Peterborough, had become "obsessed" with famous people and had tortured his victim.
The prosecution said the rare copy of The Wind in the Willows was found at his flat and had been put up for sale on eBay at the "knockdown price" of £2,000.
Prosecutor Oliver Saxby QC said Danaher was £13,000 in debt and had also searched for details on Eamonn Holmes, Michael Parkinson, Rio Ferdinand, Simon Cowell, Katie Hopkins and Greg Dyke.
The barrister said his intention was "to get money" by going to the houses of wealthy people and robbing them.
A spreadsheet was found on Danaher's computer with the names of 14 "people of means" whom he intended to steal from or kidnap, the court was told.
Other people on the list included venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft, TV pawnbroker Adam Hatfield, property developer Howard Grossman, and financial investor Guy Hands.
Mr Saxby said the list was "considered in its own way, and efficient, and really quite brutal" and also had details of valuables, weapons and family members of his planned victims.
The weapon listed in many cases was a "stun gun", and one was found in Danaher's flat by police.
Giving evidence during the trial, Danaher said an "unknown man" used his laptop to search for the addresses of high-profile people, including Gary Lineker and Louise Redknapp.
The court heard how he also stopped outside Mr Greenwood's house and took a selfie after the murder.
Mr Saxby said: "It takes a certain sort of person to have done what the defendant did to Adrian Greenwood.
"Cool, calculated, controlled, before, during and after. And underpinning it all? Greed. It was money he was after."
The prosecutor said Danaher had earlier tried to enter Adrian Beecroft's house on 22 March, arriving with a parcel he said was for the venture capitalist's daughter.
Judge Pringle said Danaher "drew up plans to rob, burgle or kidnap people to generate funds".
"You became obsessed with famous personalities and drew up a lengthy list of potential targets," he said.
"You left [Mr Greenwood] bleeding to death on his own hallway floor and even took a picture of yourself. You applied more torture than the knife stab wounds."
Arthur was a reporter with the Arbroath Herald when the stone was removed from Westminster Abbey in London by four nationalist students on Christmas Day 1950.
The stone had been there for more than 600 years since it was taken from Scotland in 1296 by Edward I, who knew its importance as the Coronation stone of Scottish kings at Scone.
From then on, for centuries, it sat under Westminster's Coronation chair.
The nationalists' stunt shocked the establishment. For months, police searched for the stone on both sides of the border.
Finding it at Arbroath Abbey four months later was the scoop of Arthur Binnie's long career, which included 20 years as the head of the BBC's Aberdeen newsroom.
Arthur was at his desk in Arbroath on 11 April 1951 when the phone rang with a tip that if he went to the abbey he might find something of interest.
That was all. He wasn't told anything more.
He took the office camera and raced to the abbey, cycling so hard the chain came off his bike.
When he arrived, he realised very quickly the scale of the story.
Everyone knew the Stone of Destiny was missing. Arthur was met by the uniformed custodian who led him silently through the abbey ruins to the high altar.
Years later, Arthur described what happened.
He told me: "There, a blue and white Saltire was covering a fairly bulky object which appeared to be sitting on a stonemason's barrow.
"I didn't need rocket science to deduce what it might be and when the custodian pulled away a corner of the Saltire, there it was ... the Stone of Destiny."
He took some photographs and the custodian gave him an envelope with a message from the four students.
Then Arthur Binnie hurried back to his office, puzzled about why no other reporters or photographers had been there.
Later he learned there'd been a mix-up.
A local councillor who'd been supposed to alert journalists had decided to let the police know first but the officer in charge in Arbroath that day took a while to establish the story wasn't a hoax.
Arthur Binnie had the discovery of the Stone of Destiny to himself.
The news went worldwide.
His picture of the stone was on the front pages of national papers in the UK and the United States.
He said the extra money he earned came at an ideal moment.
"I did rather well from all the stories and bits and pieces," Arthur said.
"So much so much so that I was able to get married the following year. So I was grateful for that."
Arthur Binnie moved to Aberdeen soon after his Stone of Destiny scoop.
There's been a debate over the years about whether the sandstone block left in Arbroath Abbey was the genuine article.
Arthur saw it close up and believed it was.
He was a meticulous journalist who advised young colleagues to stick to the ABC of the trade: accuracy, brevity and clarity.
He and his wife Bette celebrated 63 years of marriage in September.
The Stone of Destiny was returned to Scotland permanently in November 1996.
Hope not Hate has claimed UKIP failed to declare significant spending, saying the total was nearly twice as much as the party was allowed to spend.
Mr Farage strongly rejected the claims and told the BBC he had no reason to think that anything was wrong.
However, one whistleblower said UKIP payments to him were not declared.
In a separate development, Kent Police and the Electoral Commission are currently investigating Tory Party spending on the South Thanet seat - won by Craig Mackinlay for the Conservatives with Mr Farage coming second.
Hope not Hate said it wanted the Electoral Commission and Kent Police to investigate alleged "flouting of electoral law" by UKIP.
The left-leaning pressure group said South Thanet candidates were allowed to spend £15,087.30 in an election period between 9 April and 7 May, but UKIP spent at least £26,000.
It said its investigation found campaign staff, billboards and mobile ad-vans were omitted from the South Thanet electoral returns.
Mr Farage said: "I didn't do the returns myself, but I was deeply conscious the whole way through that we had to be desperately careful."
He added: "I have no reason to think anything's wrong.
"I must have asked the question ten times 'are we absolutely sure we've got this right?' and I was absolutely assured that we had done this as thoroughly and as professionally as we could."
A UKIP worker who asked not to be identified told the BBC he worked on the campaign canvassing for the party in the six weeks running up to the election.
He said he was paid more than £1,000 which he believes was not declared, and added: "I just think it's very, very bizarre that I know I was paid that sum of money and it's not registered anywhere.
"I know that I was specifically working in South Thanet so it can't be accounted on the national expense. But even so, it is not registered anywhere that I was paid that much."
The BBC checked returns signed off by Mr Farage and his election agent and was unable to find any entry that matched the payment.
The BBC has also spoken to three young activists who confirmed they were paid to work in South Thanet but it is unclear where their salaries have been declared.
UKIP has said it is confident it complied with all electoral regulations, but the party declined a further interview with BBC South East.
Under election spending rules, parliamentary candidates are limited to a maximum of £8,700 pounds plus up to nine pence for every registered voter, which gave a maximum spend in South Thanet of £15,087.
Overspending, or knowingly not declaring costs, can lead to criminal sanctions.
The "world-class" facility will be built at the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) near Rotherham.
Construction is due to start "in early 2017", with full production of advanced carbon fibre chassis by 2020.
The move represents a "significant" return of car chassis manufacturing to the north of England, the AMRC said.
McLaren Automotive apprentices will start training immediately to work in what will be called the Composites Technology Centre.
McLaren and the University of Sheffield, which will officially announce the deal on Thursday, said two years of research and development would be undertaken ahead of production.
Professor Keith Ridgway, of the AMRC, said the news was "tremendous" for the city and for wider UK manufacturing.
"It represents a new model that repositions manufacturing in Sheffield, taking it on from coal and steel to high performance components for the automotive as well as the aerospace sector," he said.
McLaren said it had been the first company to recognise the "exceptional properties" of carbon fibre and had built its road and racing cars from the material since 1981.
The first pre-production chassis, to be built using trial processes, is expected in the second half of 2017.
Mike Flewitt, of McLaren Automotive, said the Sheffield facility was a "logical next step" for the supercar manufacturer.
"We will have access to some of the world's finest composites and materials research capabilities and I look forward to building a world-class facility," he said.
Jill Thomas, of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, said it was "absolutely fantastic" and "incredibly good news".
"Let's acknowledge the incredible work by the university, council, and AMRC park and the work they have put in to bring McLaren to this region," she said.
"Creating jobs, but more importantly, the prestige of having a brand like that in the region."
The absence of the injured quartet is a major blow for the Irish province, who lie six points behind their opponents.
Rory Best and Paddy Jackson return after Ireland duty, with Best likely to captain the side at Kingspan Stadium.
Ulster lost away to Bordeaux in their first game, then beat Exeter at home.
Les Kiss's side failed to salvage a bonus point in France as they went down 28-13 to Bordeaux-Begles in their opening fixture, while a last-gasp drop goal from Paddy Jackson earned them a narrow 19-18 success over Premiership side Exeter a week later.

Best and Jackson both played in three of Ireland's four autumn internationals but were rested for last week's Pro12 win over Cardiff as part of the Ireland player welfare management programme.
Fellow Ireland players Payne and Trimble are ruled out with kidney and ankle problems respectively, both sustained in the victory over Australia at the Aviva Stadium on 26 November.
The fitness of Trimble, Payne and Gilroy will be assessed before the return fixture against the Top 14 leaders the following weekend.
Gilroy suffered an injury in the Pro12 game with Cardiff at the Arms Park.
On a more positive note, Robbie Diack is fit, while second row Alan O'Connor is being monitored as he recovers from a concussion sustained a few weeks ago.
Ulster lie third in Pool Five on four points and need a win to maintain realistic hope of progressing to the quarter-final knockout stages for the first time since 2014.
Clermont head coach Franck Azema can call upon an array of talented internationals, including French stars Wesley Fofana and Morgan Parra, as they aim to consolidate their dominance of the pool which has yielded 10 points from two outings.
The French side lost 40-35 to Pau in the Top 14 last weekend.
Ulster have however won seven of their last eight matches against French opposition in Europe's premier competition in Belfast, their only reverse coming against eventual winners Toulon in October 2014.
This time last year, Kiss's men put Toulouse to the sword at Ravenhill, scoring five tries in a 38-0 win, before triumphing 25-23 in France a week later.
Exeter host Bordeaux-Begles on Sunday at 17:30 GMT in the weekend's other Pool Five fixture.

At least 10 Indian and Pakistani soldiers and civilians have been killed in the violence over the past week.
Both sides have accused each other of starting the hostilities.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it.
The latest round of hostilities come days before US Secretary of State John Kerry is due to visit India. President Barack Obama is also due to visit India as the chief guest at the country's Republic Day celebrations on 26 January.
Some 10,000 civilians living in border villages on the Indian side have fled their homes since fighting began last week, a senior official named Shantmanu told Reuters news agency.
"We had a narrow escape and there is a war-like situation," Sham Kumar, 54, an affected villager said.
"Pakistani troops are using long-range weapons. It is the first time we have seen such intense shelling."
He said he had left his village after a shell landed in a school about 3.5km (2 miles) from the border.
India and Pakistan are continuing to exchange fire in the disputed region on Tuesday, reports say.
"The firing is going on and we are giving befitting reply to Pakistani shelling," an Indian official said.
Pakistan said on Monday that its soldiers were "effectively responding to India's [unprovoked] firing".
A Pakistani military statement said four civilians, including a woman and a teenage boy, had been killed by Indian fire near the city of Sialkot since Sunday.
India said one of its soldiers was killed by Pakistani fire in the Samba area on Monday.
Last week, Indian forces in Kashmir killed four Pakistani troops on the border after an Indian soldier was killed in an attack blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan said it had lodged a protest with the Indian high commissioner in Islamabad.
Hostilities between the neighbours have escalated in the past year.
In October, 16 people - nine Pakistanis and seven Indians - died when the two sides exchanged fire for several days.
Correspondents say 2014 saw an escalation in hostilities between the neighbours, with some of the worst violence in a decade. Both sides have accused each other of initiating the clashes.
Earlier in the summer, India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to his inauguration and there were hopes that relations between Delhi and Islamabad would improve.
But relations have deteriorated since then, with India cancelling scheduled talks with Pakistan in August and insisting that Delhi would "not tolerate acts of border violations by Pakistan" and that "ceasefire violations must stop".
Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and the South Asian rivals have fought two wars over the region.
The City of London tower is expected to fetch offers in the region of £650m, the firm said.
Savills and Deloitte Real Estate have been jointly instructed to sell 30 St Mary Axe, which is the building's formal title.
The skyscraper was placed in receivership in April.
The estate agents have begun marketing the building, with adverts placed in the specialist press, and a website for investors to register an interest, Stephen Down from Savills told the BBC.
"We've started the ball rolling," he said.
Interest is expected from Chinese, Hong Kong, Singaporean and North American investors, among others, he said.
"I suspect there will be an iconic element to this [sale]," Mr Down added.
After a vetting process on both sides, either one party will be selected, or a number of sealed bids will be accepted, by the end of September or the beginning of October, he said.
"We could see offers in excess of £650m," he added.
The tower was placed in receivership in April by its creditors after one of its owners was placed in insolvency.
Germany's IVG Immobilien, which co-owned the building with private equity firm Evans Randall, filed for insolvency last year.
Although Evans Randall said it was willing to buy a bigger stake in the tower, it was unable to agree a new ownership plan with IVG.
Deloitte was appointed a receiver in April of the 40-storey building.
The skyscraper, which was designed by Lord Foster, opened in 2004. It is currently let to around 20 tenants, including Swiss Re.

Shona is the musher, which means she directs the huskies and gets pulled along in the rig up to 18 miles per hour.
Just two years ago Shona had major heart surgery but working with the dogs helped her recover and get fit and active again.
Now Shona is getting ready to compete in one of the main husky dog racing competitions in Scotland later this year.
Watch Hayley's report to see Shona and the huskies in action...
The 33-year-old shot a four-under-par 68 that included five birdies to move to 13 under overall.
Jason Dufner had led by five stokes before Saturday's third round, but carded five over for the day to drop to tied third - four shots off the lead.
Americans Bubba Watson and Justin Thomas are also on nine under par.
Dufner ran up four early bogeys at Muirfield Village and compounded his misery by driving into a water hazard at the last for a closing bogey.
Former world number ones Rickie Fowler, at eight under, and Jordan Spieth, a stroke further back, remain in contention.

But authorities in Saudi are being urged to do more to protect people and improve safety after a tragedy on Thursday.
Hundreds of people died and many more were injured when huge crowds tried to get into an area close to Mecca.
Rashid Mogradia, of the Council of British Hajjis, a national organisation which looks after pilgrims who are going to Mecca, told the BBC "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been affected."
Watch Ricky's report to find out what happened.
The Republic of Ireland international, 24, made 36 appearances for the Canaries last season after joining from Hull for £7m in July 2015.
He could not prevent them going down and has been linked with Premier League champions Leicester after scoring against Italy at Euro 2016.
"We'll wait and see what happens with that situation," Neil told BBC Norfolk.
"But we're certainly in no rush to move Robbie, or anything like it.
"I think some people questioned the fee when I bought him, but I'm pretty sure nobody's suggesting that's a bad fee now."
Neil has made just one summer signing so far, with Spain Under-19 winger Sergi Canos moving to Carrow Road from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee, believed to be about £2.5m.
"We'll have (more) business done before the window ends," added Neil.
"We're making every effort to get things done, but what you can't allow to happen is you can't be bullied by price.
"You can't be bullied by some tactics that other clubs will deploy at times, so what we've got to do is be strong, brave and make sure we see it through and eventually get the bodies in, which we will."
It comes after US media criticised President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for not attending the demonstration.
The rally, which followed three terror attacks in Paris, was attended by an estimated 1.6 million people and some 40 world leaders.
The US ambassador to France was the highest ranking US official attending.
Speaking on Monday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Obama wished he could have attended, but the "onerous and significant" security preparations for a presidential visit required more than the 36-hour advance notice the White House received.
He added, however: "It's fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile."
Seventeen people died in attacks in Paris last week at a satirical magazine, on a police officer, and at a kosher supermarket.
Mr Kerry told reporters in India he would visit France to reaffirm US solidarity with the country, which he called America's oldest ally.
A fluent French speaker, he has visited the country 17 times since becoming secretary of state.
Among those linking arms in a symbolic gesture at the Paris march were UK Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
US Attorney General Eric Holder, in Paris for an anti-terror summit, did not attend the march because he was giving media interviews.
Mr Kerry was visiting India, for an international development trip, and Pakistan to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"I would have personally very much wanted to have been there," Mr Kerry said, but "it is important to keep these kinds of commitments".
Mr Kerry said US officials, including himself and Mr Obama, had been "deeply engaged" with French authorities since the first attack and had offered intelligence assistance.
"I want to emphasise that the relationship with France is not about one day or one particular moment," Mr Kerry said.
"It is an ongoing long-time relationship that is deeply, deeply based in the shared values, and particularly the commitment that we share to freedom of expression."
Mr Kerry is expected to arrive in Paris later this week.
Meanwhile, the White House announced there would be an international summit in Washington in February on countering violent extremism.
Eight gunmen on motorcycles fired at a group of three police guards and later at a van containing four officers, officials told the Pakistan Tribune.
Islamist militants oppose vaccination, saying it is a Western conspiracy to sterilise Pakistani children.
In January, 15 people were killed in a bomb attack on a vaccination centre in the south-western city of Quetta.
Polio workers called off the vaccination drive in Karachi following the attack, despite the home minister's order to continue, the Tribune reported.
According to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, police have offered a reward of 5 million rupees (£33,000) for information on the killers, and 2 million rupees (£13,000) compensation to the victims' families.
Talking to reporters at the scene, Sindh police Inspector General AD Khawaja said polio drops would be "administered to our children at all costs" and said security for polio teams would be increased.
Pakistan is one of only two countries, along with Afghanistan, where polio remains endemic. Militants have repeatedly targeted vaccination programmes, killing nearly 80 people since December 2012.
The country recorded more than 300 polio cases in 2014 - its highest number since 1999.
Most of the new infections were in north-west Pakistan, where militants regularly target roving health teams, and health officials blamed the rise in cases on several deadly attacks on police workers that year.
The number of cases fell to just 52 in 2015, largely because vaccination teams could reach areas that were previously off limits because of militancy.
Polio (poliomyelitis) is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus which invades the nervous system. It mainly affects children aged under five.
Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and limb pain.
One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis, and between 5-10% of those who suffer paralysis die because their breathing muscles are immobilised.
Cases have fallen dramatically since polio eradication programmes were introduced; from 350,000 globally in 1988 to around 70 in 2015.
Polio remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but Nigeria was removed from the list in October after a year with no new cases.
The station, which will serve the town centre, is part of an £11.5m project funded by the Welsh government.
Delivered by Network Rail, it features a new station building, 150m platform to fit up to six carriages, a car park, a waiting shelter and bicycle storage.
The 07:38 BST Cardiff Central to Ebbw Vale Town was the first train to arrive at 08:41 BST.
The station is located on the Ebbw Vale to Cardiff line and will be served by the existing hourly service.
Transport Minister Edwina Hart said: "The Ebbw Vale railway line is very popular, with some 300,000 journeys annually.
"Together with our investment in the track, the new Ebbw Vale Town station will improve access to jobs and services for more people along this busy route."
Wham! may have been considered a joke by critics who couldn't see beyond the schoolgirls clutching Smash Hits posters to their chests, but the band were a commercial phenomenon.
Their throwaway lyrics ("Club Tropicana, drinks are free") were full of communal, hedonistic escapism at a time when unemployment nudged three million. More importantly, the tunes had more hooks than a butchers.
Listen to Freedom: those cascading "I don't want your, I don't want your" vocals in the coda; or the doo-wop backing vocals after the second chorus.
George Michael, who died on Christmas Day aged 53, had ravenously devoured pop history as a child, and you can tell from the bounding, puppy-like energy of those early records how much he enjoyed getting the chance to put his own spin on it.
The band were managed by Simon Napier-Bell, who introduced Jimmy Page to the Yardbirds and co-wrote the lyrics to Dusty Springfield's You Don't Have To Say You Love Me.
"I saw something in Wham! that no-one else seemed to see," he told the NME, "which is the Hollywood thing of the two buddies, the two cowboys.
"You know, during the film, one falls in love, the other goes to a brothel, but at the end they always ride off together."
Of course, Michael was never really this carefree, happy-go-lucky character - but he and band sidekick Andrew Ridgeley definitely played up to it in their quest for success.
"I created a man - in the image of a great friend - that the world could love if they chose to," he once said, "someone who could realise my dreams and make me a star.
"I called him George Michael, and for almost a decade, he worked his arse off for me, and did as he was told. He was very good at his job, perhaps a little too good."
Indeed, Wham! made George Michael a millionaire by the age of 21 - at the same time most of his contemporaries from Bushey in Hertfordshire were graduating from university.
Beneath the surface, however, the duo were much more serious-minded than the shuttlecocks-down-shorts image suggested: They played miners benefit events with Paul Weller in the 1980s and split with Napier-Bell's management company when they discovered a dubious South African connection.
And even though they appeared on the original 1984 Band Aid single, Michael and Ridgeley went one further than many of the other participants - donating the royalties from Last Christmas to the charity as well.
The band split once Michael had the confidence he could carry a solo career without his old school friend and, although fans were devastated, the singer had an ace up his sleeve: Faith.
Released in 1987, the album opens with a church organ playing the melody to Freedom - a funeral for a friend - before launching into a genre-spanning, attention-grabbing slew of hit singles.
The title track rides on an infectious Bo Diddley groove, before the lights dim on a dreamily romantic Father Figure, after which Michael let his libido rip on the Radio 1-baiting I Want Your Sex.
In those three songs, the star spat his bubblegum past out of the car window, and set the benchmark for any boy band member looking to establish a solo career (a teenage Robbie Williams, listening to the album in his bedroom in Stoke-on-Trent was definitely taking notes).
Faith put him on a par with other 80s superstars like Michael Jackson and Madonna. In the US, it appealed equally to both black and white audiences, selling 20 million copies, and became the first album by a white act to top Billboard's R&B chart.

Six songs that defined George Michael's life
Obituary: George Michael
Michael was rightfully proud of the record's musical diversity. "If you can listen to this album and not like anything on it, then you do not like pop music," he told Rolling Stone magazine.
He went on to mount a defence of pop, in spite of his critics.
"If you listen to a Supremes record or a Beatles record, which were made in the days when pop was accepted as an art of sorts, how can you not realise that the elation of a good pop record is an art form? Somewhere along the way, pop lost all its respect. And I think I kind of stubbornly stick up for all of that."
Still, those brickbats took their toll - 1990's Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 was an attempt to be taken seriously as a musician. In Freedom 90, he even expressed regret at his earlier escapades - "When you shake your ass, they notice fast / Some mistakes were built to last."
In an attempt to shift the focus onto his music, the singer even refused to appear in his own videos: A move that only garnered him more (negative) press in the tabloids.
But his commercial instincts and pop craftsmanship were still in evidence, from the Beatles-esque harmonies of Heal The Pain to the mournful Praying For Time.
He was a trailblazer in other ways, too. Years before Prince scrawled "slave" on his face, Michael took Sony Records to court, trying to extricate himself from his contract and regain control of his career.
"There is no such thing as resignation for an artist in the music industry," he said, after losing the case. "Effectively, you sign a piece of paper at the beginning of your career and you are expected to live with that decision, good or bad, for the rest of your professional life."
He was also one of the first artists to realise the internet's potential - setting up Aegean Records in 1997 specifically to sell songs online.
"I really don't need the public's money," he explained. "I'd like to have something on the internet with charitable donation optional, where anyone can download my music for free."
Ultimately, however, the company failed to make much headway.
In later years, it seemed as though Michael's commercial instincts had abandoned him.
Certainly, the grief he suffered after the death of his partner, Anselmo Feleppa, and his mother, in the 1990s, derailed him personally and artistically for much of the decade.
Unexpectedly, his arrest on charges of public indecency in 1998 and his subsequent outing reinvigorated him. Outside, which poked fun at his arrest, was only kept off the number one slot by Cher's mega-hit Believe; while Flawless (Go To The City) is a discofied late-career highlight.
Just weeks before his death, the star had arranged to record a new album with in-demand British producer Naughty Boy.
If the sessions, which were due to take place next year, had come to pass, it is not unreasonable to suggest that George Michael would have enjoyed a new renaissance.

Khalid Baqa, 52, from Barking was charged on Wednesday with committing fraud by false representation.
The Pakistan International Airlines plane, on its way from Lahore to Heathrow, was diverted on Tuesday due to an unrelated disruptive passenger.
The plane was held in an area away from the main airport, which remained open.
Essex Police said the diversion had been due to reports of a disruptive passenger and was "not believed to be a hijack situation or terror matter".
In an unrelated matter Mr Baqa was due to be arrested by police on arrival at Heathrow, but because of the disruption was held at Stansted instead.
The RAF confirmed that Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon aircraft had been scrambled from RAF Coningsby, in Lincolnshire as the plane was diverted.
Stansted is a designated airport for dealing with hijacks and major security alerts.
Such incidents are dealt with in a remote part of the airfield to the north-west of the terminal building.
His body was discovered by fire crews at the Old Village Hall in Nenthorn near Kelso on Sunday morning.
The emergency services received a call at about 08:30, but said the blaze was fully developed when they arrived.
It is understood the building had been undergoing renovations.
But Evandro will miss a third consecutive game with a calf strain.
Swansea full-back Kyle Naughton is sidelined with a hamstring injury so Angel Rangel is likely to deputise.
Jefferson Montero and Ki Sung-yueng are set to return to the squad after hamstring and knee injuries respectively.
Alistair Mann: "Since getting new managers just days apart in early January, these two sides have made the encouraging improvements those appointments were designed to provoke.
"That said, while Paul Clement has steered Swansea some five points clear of the drop zone, Marco Silva's Hull still remain embedded within it.
"The Tigers still have to face the four sides immediately around them in the table, three of which - perhaps crucially - are at home, beginning with the visit of the Swans.
"Having taken seven of his eight points so far at the KCOM Stadium, Silva will be acutely aware of the potentially irreversible damage a defeat this weekend would inflict."
Twitter: @AlistairMann01
Hull head coach Marco Silva: "The last two games against them were two wins for us, but the next game is the most important. We need to win.
"We still have six games at home, and three over the next four weeks. We feel good when we play at home."
Swansea head coach Paul Clement: "The first thing is we go there to try and win the game. But if we don't it is very important not to lose based on the gap of points between us and them. A point there would not be a bad result.
"I have watched their games and they were ahead against Leicester, but they probably played them at a bad time compared to when we played them.
"They also lost against Chelsea and Arsenal, but I thought they played very well in both those games."
Swansea look like a different team under Paul Clement, in attack as well as defence.
Hull also improved when Marco Silva took over, but they have started to plateau a little bit and they are still in deep trouble at the bottom of the table.
I am going to back the Tigers to get something here, though.

The thrilling drawn series in New Zealand appears to have safeguarded future tours, and Phillips believes it is now time for the brand to embrace the women's game.
"Women's rugby is growing so quickly globally and definitely in Wales," Phillips told BBC Wales Sport.
"For me it would be a 'when' rather than an 'if'."
Phillips revealed his view is shared amongst other northern hemisphere unions.
"I think a couple of my colleagues elsewhere in the Lions have said it's not something they'd ever rule out," he added.
"As a player it's such a brilliant thing to be involved in.
"To see how much these players get out of this tour and how much they genuinely enjoy the experience, to think that there would be an option for women there at some point is something that we should absolutely consider."
Eloise Aimee Parry, 21, from Shrewsbury, died in hospital on 12 April after taking tablets believed to contain dinitrophenol, known as DNP.
Two websites that sold DNP were closed following her death but a BBC investigation found one had reopened under a different name.
The site has now withdrawn the pills.
Although the website is not the one thought to have supplied Miss Parry, it was one of two closed by Interpol following her death.
An Inside Out investigation for the BBC found the business was still running with a new web address.
Eloise's mother, Fiona, said she was appalled the site had continued to operate.
Together with Mrs Parry, the BBC confronted the man who runs the site from Turkey - Orhan Topcuer - who subsequently agreed to withdraw the pills.
In an online call with Mr Topcuer, Mrs Parry, a chemistry teacher, asked him: "It doesn't worry you that people die?"
Mr Topcuer replied: "If they don't know what they are using, they shouldn't use it."
Mrs Parry revealed: "The girl who died was my daughter and it bothers me that there are people like you out there who are quite happy to sell this stuff.
"There will be people who have died because of buying the stuff that you've sold."
She said she did not understand how "an industrial chemical, an explosive, can be made into tablets and sent around the world, keep killing people and not get stopped".
"I'm appalled and the fact that this stuff looks so professionally packaged may help to give it some legitimacy when we know what it really does."
In July, an inquest ruled Eloise's death was caused by an accidental drugs overdose.
Coroner John Ellery heard the student, who studied at Glyndwr University in Wrexham, sent a text message in which she said: "I think I am going to die.
"No-one is known to survive if they vomit after taking DNP. I am so scared."
The sale of DNP is the subject of an ongoing investigation, named Operation Pangea, involving police, Interpol - the international police organisation - and the Food Standards Agency.
The Food Standards Agency said: "This is a global trade and that requires a global response which is why we're working with international agencies."
Interpol's executive director of police services, Tim Morris, said the organisation had made "significant progress" by shutting down, "illegitimate online pharmacies and seizing illegal and counterfeit pharmaceutical products".
Inside Out is broadcast on BBC One West Midlands at 19:30 on Monday 7 September and nationwide for 30 days thereafter on the iPlayer.
The couple from Essex, aged 58 and 70, were looking after the girl, three, until she was removed by social services, the Echo reported.
The grandfather, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said age was "one of two factors" behind the decision.
Southend Council said age was not the "deciding factor" in its assessments.
The girl was staying with her grandparents after her mother was hospitalised with mental health issues.
But the child was then taken into foster care, and social services obtained a court order to put her up for adoption following reports on her mother's health.
"We're very much able to care for her. We feel as though we want to dedicate our lives to our granddaughter, we love her so much," the grandfather told the BBC.
"The other factor they said was that my wife suffered from depression a few years ago.
"I can't see why we are in this position - they know we care about her. It's devastating, it breaks our hearts to be like this."
Southend Council's Executive Councillor for Children and Learning, Anne Jones, said while the authority could not comment on individual cases, age was not a deciding factor in its assessments of prospective carers.
"Though placing children in the care of relatives is our preference in all cases, we can only do so when this is consistent with the welfare of a child," she said.
The girl's grandfather said they would be appealing the family court's ruling.
"We just hope we can go through with it and bring her home to her rightful place," he said.
Many ignored warnings they received, found the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Others were worn out by software updates and by the number of passwords they had to remember, NIST found.
This "risky behaviour" might make people more susceptible to attack, it warned.
"We weren't even looking for fatigue in our interviews, but we got this overwhelming feeling of weariness throughout all of the data," said computer scientist Mary Theofanos, one of the experts who co-ordinated the study.
Responses from subjects revealed that many felt "overwhelmed" by having to be alert for digital threats at all times, remembering to act safely online and by the different security and privacy policies on the sites they used.
Others were worn down by the number of passwords, Pins and other secure credentials they had to remember.
"Years ago, you had one password to keep up with at work," said Ms Theofanos. "Now people are being asked to remember 25 or 30."
Many were frustrated by the extra security steps they had to go through to get at "their stuff" in online bank accounts or on other websites.
"We haven't really thought about cybersecurity expanding and what it has done to people," she added.
The NIST study involved in-depth interviews with a broad cross-section of Americans aged 20-60, who lived in rural and urban areas and were in high and low-paying jobs.
Responses from interviewees revealed that many were fatalistic about what they could do to avoid being attacked and many were resigned to being caught out at some point, said Ms Theofanos.
Many questioned why they would be targeted by malicious hackers given that they did not work for a sensitive government department or for a finance company. Few said they could name a friend of relative that had been hit by a hack attack.
Others asked how they could possibly be expected to stay safe when massive corporations that spent huge sums on security were regularly caught out.
The NIST said it was planning a follow-up study with people who worked in the technology sector to gauge their feelings about security and to find out if they felt overwhelmed to the same degree.
The study said websites and online services needed to do a better job of co-ordinating how they approached security to lighten the load on users.
"If people can't use security, they are not going to, and then we and our nation won't be secure," said report co-author Brian Stanton. | Theatre staff have been stunned by accusations that their Christmas pantomime is "too black".

Fifa decrees that shirts should not carry political, religious or commercial messages.
But the Duke of Cambridge is "dismayed" by Fifa's stance in this case for Saturday's match against Spain.
Clarence House said: "The Duke's strong view is the poppy is a universal symbol of remembrance, which has no political, religious or commercial connotations."

In the letter Prince William, the president of the FA, demands Fifa makes "an exception in this special circumstance". The full contents of letter are being kept private.
Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister David Cameron said he would write to Fifa asking it to lift the ban ahead of England's game with the world champions.
On Tuesday, football's governing body rejected a second Football Association (FA) request to overturn the ban.
"It seems outrageous," said Mr Cameron. "I hope Fifa will reconsider."
As an alternative, the FA said England players will wear black armbands during the game and lay a wreath on the pitch during the national anthems.
Mr Cameron added: "The idea that wearing a poppy to remember those who have given their lives for our freedom is a political act is absurd.
"Wearing a poppy is an act of huge respect and national pride."
"Such initiatives would open the door to similar initiatives from all over the world, jeopardising the neutrality of football," it said.
Fifa has allowed a period of silence to be held prior to the game against Spain, which takes place the day before Remembrance Sunday.
During Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons, Mr Cameron said a clear message needed to be sent to Fifa from the government.
Asked about the matter, he replied: "I think [the questioner] not only speaks for the whole House, but in fact the whole country, [in] being completely baffled and frankly angry [at] the decision made by Fifa.

"If teams want to be able to put the poppy on their shirt, as many teams in our football league do, they should be able to at the national level, whether it is the English team or whether it is the Welsh team.
"I think this is an appalling decision and I hope they'll reconsider it."
England will wear poppies on their training kit and will stand for a two-minute silence during practice on Friday. The players will also wear poppy-embossed jackets during the national anthems on Saturday.
The Royal British Legion has backed the FA's efforts to mark Remembrance Sunday.
"There are other ways to honour the poppy than by wearing it on a shirt," said its director general Chris Simpkins.
"We are satisfied that England will enter the competition knowing they have shown proper respect for our Armed Forces."
Wales, who play Norway in Cardiff on Saturday, are set to wear a poppy on their training shirts for the warm-up and tracksuits for the national anthem, with the words "Cymru'n Cofio" ("Wales remembers") underneath the poppy.
The Football Association of Wales supported the FA's request to Fifa for permission to wear a poppy on their kit.
Scotland, who face Cyprus in a friendly on Friday, will also wear poppy-emblazoned training tops.
No poppies were worn when England played Brazil on 14 November 2009
England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce insisted that Fifa's ruling would not detract from the England squad's observance of the occasion.
"Whether I understand it or not, you ask the question, they give a decision and you get on with it. That is the nature of it. But whether or not you have anything emblazoned on your shirt, it is what is in your heart that matters," said Pearce.
"We would have liked to have done it as an organisation and a country, but the powers that be say they don't want us to.
"That is the end of it, but it will not diminish what is in my heart and the respect for those who have given their lives for this country."
Former England captain Alan Shearer condemned the decision.
"I think it's terrible, I really do. I think they should let it go ahead and I don't understand their decision at all," he said.
"Everybody seems to agree it is wrong but I don't think Fifa will change their mind.
"I don't think relationships between the FA and Fifa are great so I'd be surprised if they were to change their minds now, but I just think it is a terrible decision."
Former FA chief executive David Davies told BBC Radio 5 live that the policy was necessary but needed tweaking.
"Around the world, if you didn't have this rule, people would use it for political or religious or for personal slogans," he said.
The British public feel very strongly about this issue - it is not religious or political in any way
"One of the first countries screaming out in protest would be our home nations. [But] things have changed. People do respect it [the poppy].
"After the game the FA must campaign, perhaps with the Germans, against this far too draconian and ill-thought-through policy."
On Tuesday, Sports Minister Hugh Robertson wrote to Fifa seeking permission for the England and Wales teams to wear poppies.
He commented: "Wearing a poppy is a display of national pride, just like wearing your country's football shirt.
"The British public feel very strongly about this issue - it is not religious or political in any way."
British Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce added: "I think there has to be a bit of common sense used when requests like this come in.
England team should wear poppies on Saturday. It's the nation's tradition and it would be disrespectful not to
"Armistice Day is a very important day in the FA calendar, as it is with other associations, and I don't think it would offend anybody to have a poppy on the shirts."
Injured England midfielder Jack Wilshere tweeted: "My great-grandad fought for this country in WW2 and I'm sure a lot of people's grandparents did.
"England team should wear poppies on Saturday. It's the nation's tradition and it would be disrespectful not to."
England did not wear poppies for games close to Remembrance Day against Argentina on 12 November, 2005 and Sweden on 10 November, 2001.
But an FA spokesman said "a greater focus has been given to the level of support and respect shown by the national teams" over the past five years.
He said: "Since 2005, our clubs have all begun to wear poppies on their match shirts in domestic games for the early part of November as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives serving their country.
"The FA and England team have built very strong relationships with Tickets4Troops, Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion over the past five years.
"As part of this growing commitment, we wanted to show our respect and support this weekend by wearing the poppy and our players are very passionate and vocal about this."
On Wednesday, Fifa confirmed to the BBC that two protestors from the English Defence League were on the roof of their headquarters in Zurich to protest Fifa's refusal to lift the ban.
England and Wales' rugby league players will be wearing poppies this weekend, along with the other two teams - Australia and New Zealand - involved in the Four Nations.

He was speaking after his UK counterpart, David Davis, made clear the threat to walk out was genuine if the EU's "divorce bill" was too high.
EU ministers on Monday gave Mr Barnier the green light for talks to start in June, after the UK election.
"No deal" was not an option, he said.
UK ministers have reacted angrily to reports that the EU may demand as much as €100bn (£86bn; $112bn) from the UK.
The EU is also insisting that "sufficient progress" be made on the bill, citizens' rights and the UK-Irish border before talks begin on a future trade deal.
The first round of talks will start on 19 June and Mr Barnier will report to EU leaders at a summit three days later. In a communique on Monday, EU officials stressed that a key to the talks' success would be their transparency for all sides.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May emphasised the importance of the negotiations in the days after voters choose a new government on 8 June. "There will be no time to waste and no time for a new government to find its way," she said.
"If we don't get this right, the consequences for the United Kingdom and for the economic security of ordinary working people will be dire. If we do, then the opportunities ahead are great."
Mr Barnier told reporters in Brussels that the facts and figures behind Brexit had to be explained objectively, and it would not be "business as usual".
"We just need to be able to wind up the accounts - that's it. It's really a question of trust to build our future relations."
A range of figures has emerged for the amount the UK will be asked to pay when it leaves the EU, covering agreed commitments and liabilities.
Asked a second time what he would do if the British walked out of the talks, Mr Barnier said there would be moments of tension but things had to be put in perspective. "The new partnership is what's important. Nobody should lose that perspective," he emphasised.

Wing Blaine Scully's try put Blues ahead before Matthew Morgan and Tom James helped give them a cushion.
But tries by Zebre's Giulio Bisegni and Giovanbattista Venditti jangled Blues' nerves as the final whistle loomed.
The match was also notable for four sin-binnings.
Home hooker Oiviero Fabiani and visiting flanker Josh Turnbull each sat out 10 first half minutes.
After the break, home lock Federico Ruzza and Blues prop Rhys Gill fell foul of the match officials.
Blues went to Parma intent on making amends for their defeat in the corresponding fixture there in October 2015.
But the hosts provided a reminder of the danger they can pose at home as Palazzani squeezed over from close range after his half-back partner Carlo Canna had exchanged penalties with Steven Shingler.
The Blues fly-half missed his next shot, but put his third kick between the sticks.
Wing Scully profited from good forward work for Blues to go ahead for the first time.
Shingler added the conversion, but was off target after centre Cory Allen's grubber kick allowed Morgan to win the race to the touchdown.
Edoardo Padovani hit back with a penalty to make it 18-11 at the break.
Soon after the restart James stole possession and raced over unopposed for his third try of the campaign.
However, centre Bisegni put the hosts within a converted try of drawing level after Canna's long pass set him free.
Veteran replacement Gethin Jenkins' breakdown jackal relieved pressure on the visitors as Zebre piled on the pressure only for Blues to gift them the next try.
Number eight Nick Williams spilled the ball near his own line and the hosts made the most of the chance for Venditti to score, which went unconverted.
Blues head coach Danny Wilson told BBC Wales: "I didn't have to say too much when we got into the changing rooms.
"Sam Warburton and Gethin Jenkins in particular broke the game down and said 'look, it wasn't our best performance' and there was a bit of sloppiness to a number of areas of our game.
"However, we've come out here and won which is something the Blues haven't done for a while or done consistently and I think credit that we have come out here and won it.
"They're a different team at home. That doesn't take away from the fact we weren't as good as we've been recently."

Police said they believed it happened in a house in Vere Foster Walk at about 04:00 BST on Saturday.
It is understood the victim, who is 51, was stabbed in the abdomen but was able to make his way to Springfield Close on foot before emergency services were contacted.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
The group will play at the Etihad Stadium in their home city of Manchester on 17 and 18 June and at the T in the Park festival on 8 July.
Tickets for all three go on sale at 09:30 GMT on Friday.
There had been speculation about an announcement from the band after posters with their lemon logo appeared in Manchester earlier on Monday.
The group became indie legends in the late 1980s with their debut album, which included classic tunes like I Wanna Be Adored and I Am the Resurrection.
It was named the best British album of all time by the NME in 2006 and came second in a Channel 4 poll to find the best album of the millennium in 1997.
The quartet split up after the follow-up, 1994's Second Coming, but announced their reunion - and a new record deal - in 2011.
They played a series of major concerts in 2012 and 2013, but there has been no sign of new recordings.
Emergency crews were called to the Mereside Industrial Park at Fenns Bank, on the Wrexham-Shropshire border at 12:10 BST.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service from Whitchurch attended, however the man in his 30s was released before they arrived and died at the scene.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
Ali Raza Shah, 36, was found guilty of conspiracy to supply heroin and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Christopher John Leslie, 32, pleaded guilty to the same charge and was jailed for six years in January.
Police said the Birmingham men had arranged to take delivery of the carpets - flown from Pakistan - in Telford, Shropshire.
The packaged carpets arrived at Heathrow Airport on 2 August, 2013.
UK Border Force officers discovered heroin in hollow straws had been woven into some of the rolls.
They were found to contain 7.3kg of heroin at a purity of 45-50%, giving a potential street value of about £730,000.
The consignment was originally destined for an address in Leegomery, but the address was changed to a storage facility in Birmingham.
Shah, from Malmesbury Road, Small Heath, was convicted on Monday and sentenced at Hereford Crown Court on Thursday.
Leslie, from Kitchener Road, Selly Park, also pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply 9kg of cannabis, at Worcester Crown Court on 4 November 2014 and was jailed for one year on 21 January - to be served consecutively to the heroin supply sentence.
Craig McClelland, who lived locally, was stabbed in Tweed Avenue in the Foxbar area of the town at 23:20 on Sunday.
Detectives said he he was attacked during a confrontation and died later at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
Police Scotland's major investigation team are working on the case and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
James Morley, 42, had eight previous domestic abuse convictions for attacking Elaine Duncan, 46, when he killed her.
He attacked her at their home in Newmilns, East Ayrshire, in April 2014.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lady Scott sentenced Morley to serve at least 20 years in prison before he can apply for parole.
The court heard how Morley targeted Ms Duncan four days after he was released from prison.
He was in jail for breaching court orders which had been passed to protect her.
When he left prison, he went on an alcohol binge. He attacked Ms Duncan and left her body in the living room before visiting a local pub.
The court heard Morley repeatedly struck Ms Duncan with a cooking pot.
When she fell to the ground, Morley climbed on top of Ms Duncan and slashed her throat up to 20 times.
Lady Scott told Morley: "The violence of your attack was utterly savage. You struck your victim with such force as to cause significant bruising and a groove within her skull.
"Then, after she fell backwards, you knelt on top of her and cut her throat repeatedly according to the pathologist up to 20 times.
"In so doing you cut through the major muscles, larynx, thyroid bone and jugular vein.
"You committed this murder within four days of being released on licence for breach of court orders relating to the victim. You have left her son and family devastated."
Morley was convicted last month following a trial at the High Court in Paisley.
During his trial, the court heard Morley phoned 999 to tell officers he thought he had killed Ms Duncan. He gave operators the wrong address, prompting a frantic search for his victim.
When asked later where she was, he said: "Hanging off a leather couch in the living room."
Morley, who had been in a relationship with Ms Duncan for eight years, admitted culpable homicide but prosecutors refused to accept his guilty plea.
He denied murdering Ms Duncan, claiming he lashed out and killed her in a fit of rage during an argument.
Len Goodman will also continue as a judge on the tour despite announcing the current TV series will be his last.
Rani replaces Mel Giedroyc, who has already signed up to co-present a new BBC One talent show in 2017.
Giedroyc and Graham Norton will front Let It Shine - a nationwide search for singers and actors to play Take That in a new musical.
Gary Barlow, Dannii Minogue, Martin Kemp and Glee's Amber Riley will be judges on the show.
Giedroyc announced last week that she and Sue Perkins will leave The Great British Bake Off when the programme moves to Channel 4 after the current series.
Rani, who has also previously co-presented Watchdog and Four Rooms, competed on Strictly Come Dancing last year, finishing in fifth place.
Also appearing on the Strictly Come Dancing tour alongside Goodman will be Craig Revel Horwood and guest judge Karen Hardy.
The tour will also feature many celebrity contestants from the show, but it has not yet been confirmed which.
The live shows, which Revel Horwood will direct for the seventh year, will see the judges score the contestants' dances and arena audiences able to vote for their favourites.
Goodman said: "The live tour always has such a great atmosphere and the tenth anniversary tour will definitely be one to remember, especially as this will come as I complete my final year on the TV series as head judge."
The 30-show tour will open in Birmingham on 20 January.

The advert implied that the capsules directly targeted muscles in the head.
The company says it will not re-broadcast it following complaints that the ad was misleading.
BBC News understands the company has promised the Advertising Standards Authority it will not imply the product has a mechanism that makes it especially effective for headache pain.
The ASA has halted an investigation which could have led to the ad being banned.
Viewers were shown a huge head, that highlighted the muscles which tended to come under strain and caused headaches.
They were told that Nurofen Express "targets these muscles and gives you faster headache relief".
The advert was launched in February last year and has not been aired since June.
Details of the ASA investigation emerged before Christmas, after an Australian court ordered certain Nurofen products to be taken off the shelves.
The court said although they were marketed to treat specific pains, such as migraine and period pain, they were actually identical to one another.
Warburton has not played since injuring a knee against Ulster on 7 April.
Blues go to Stade Francais on Friday in their European Champions Cup semi-final qualifier.
"That is a bigger picture decision for Sam and the Blues and Warren," said Rowntree.
The Lions' first training camp is being held at Wales' training base.
Rowntree added: "He looked pretty fit to me this (Monday) morning."
He does not foresee any doubt over Warburton's fitness to play in the Lions' tour opener against New Zealand Provincial Barbarians on 3 June.
"I don't think there will be any trouble with him playing, certainly, the first game on tour, but as I keep saying, we are managing him coming back from injury," said Rowntree.
If Blues beat Stade Francais, they will go on to meet the winner of Northampton v Connacht for the chance to play in Europe's top tier in 2017-18.
Almost two-thirds of the 41-man Lions squad are currently with their clubs, regions and provinces ahead of Aviva Premiership, Guinness PRO12 and Champions Cup play-offs next weekend.
But Rowntree was delighted with the work done on day one in camp at Wales' training base in the Vale of Glamorgan.
"We've got 14 guys here," he said.
"Other guys are away in other competitions, which is great, because we want them on the plane going to New Zealand battle-hardened, playing in finals, preferably.
"We knew we would be missing a few guys in camp one. We knew what was coming, and we have catered for that."
Adobe unveiled Project Voco last week. The software makes it possible to take an audio recording and rapidly alter it to include words and phrases the original speaker never uttered, in what sounds like their voice.
One expert warned that the tech could further undermine trust in journalism.
Another said it could pose a security threat.
However, the US software firm says it is taking action to address such risks.
At a live demo in San Diego on Thursday, Adobe took a digitised recording of a man saying "and I kissed my dogs and my wife" and changed it to say "and I kissed Jordan three times".
The edit took seconds and simply involved the operator overtyping a transcript of the speech and then pressing a button to create the synthesised voice track.
"We have already revolutionised photo editing. Now it's time for us to do the audio stuff," said Adobe's Zeyu Jin, to the applause of his audience.
He added that to make the process possible, the software needed to be provided with about 20 minutes-worth of a person's speech.
Dr Eddy Borges Rey - a lecturer in media and technology at the University of Stirling - was horrified by the development.
"It seems that Adobe's programmers were swept along with the excitement of creating something as innovative as a voice manipulator, and ignored the ethical dilemmas brought up by its potential misuse," he told the BBC.
"Inadvertently, in its quest to create software to manipulate digital media, Adobe has [already] drastically changed the way we engage with evidential material such as photographs.
"This makes it hard for lawyers, journalists, and other professionals who use digital media as evidence.
"In the same way that Adobe's Photoshop has faced legal backlash after the continued misuse of the application by advertisers, Voco, if released commercially, will follow its predecessor with similar consequences."
The risks extend beyond people being fooled into thinking others said something they did not.
Banks and other businesses have started using voiceprint checks to verify customers are who they say they are when they phone in.
One cybersecurity researcher said the companies involved had long anticipated something like Adobe's invention.
"The technology is new but its underlying principles have been understood for some time," said Dr Steven Murdoch from University College London.
"Biometric companies say their products would not be tricked by this, because the things they are looking for are not the same things that humans look for when identifying people.
"But the only way to find out is to test them, and it will be some time before we know the answer."
Google's DeepMind division showed off a rival voice-mimicking system called WaveNet in September.
But at the time, it suggested that the task needed too much processing power to find its way into a consumer product in the near future.
For its part, Adobe has talked of its customers using Voco to fix podcast and audio book recordings without having to rebook presenters or voiceover artists.
But a spokeswoman stressed that this did not mean its release was imminent.
"[It] may or may not be released as a product or product feature," she told the BBC.
"No ship date has been announced."
In the meantime, Adobe said it was researching ways to detect use of its software.
"Think about watermarking detection," Mr Jin said at the demo, referring to a method used to hide identifiers in images and other media.
Ex-minister Liam Bryne, a member of the group called "Red Shift", said Labour needed to embrace an English identity.
He told the BBC the party had lost touch with its roots and people did not know who it stood for anymore.
Asked if Jeremy Corbyn could reconnect with voters, Mr Byrne said he "can definitely start us on the route back".
It comes after Jon Cruddas, who wrote Labour's 2015 manifesto and then led the review into its defeat, warned that Labour had "lost its connection with the English people".
He has called for the creation of an English Labour Party "to help identify the politics and policies we will need to win a majority of English seats", saying that "England will decide Labour's future".
Labour was reduced to its lowest number of MPs since 1987 at May's general election, after failing to breakthrough in England and suffering heavy losses at the hands of the SNP in Scotland.
The Red Shift group - which also includes shadow education secretary Heidi Alexander, Labour MPs Shabhana Mahmood and MP Nic Dakin and Labour councillor Caroline Badley - has been touring the country speaking to voters about why they did not support Labour in May.
In its report, the group outlines 10 "key shifts" it says Labour needs to make in order to win a majority in England.
Among its recommendations is for the party to fix its "badly damaged" brand, by becoming "proud of our roots" and embracing the "politics of English identity".
Labour also needs to address its "credibility deficit" on the economy and broaden its appeal "to include the successful, the self-employed and entrepreneurs, and the over 55s", the group says.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, shadow skills minister Liam Byrne said that at the time of the last election people did not know what Labour stood for.
"We had lots of people who just thought we had lost touch with our roots, we had lost our soul and they just weren't sure what to make of us.
"I'm afraid that went alongside distrust of our record and our plans for public spending."
Reminded that as outgoing Treasury chief secretary following Labour's defeat in 2010 he famously left a note to his successor saying "there is no money", Mr Bryne said it was a "regrettable" thing to have done.
The Birmingham Hodge Hill MP said the party lacked a plan on business and on the economy, which it needed to address if it was to win again.
Asked if Jeremy Corbyn was the right man to reconnect with voters who had deserted the Labour Party, Mr Byrne said he thought he was, saying the new leader had brought a bit of "soul force" back to the party.
"In many ways he is the craft ale of the Labour movement. He's authentic, he's got strong flavours and he's seen as something different to bland mediocrity of politics," Mr Byrne added.
But Labour also needed "a bold vision" for how it "owns the future", he added, saying it needed to become the party of the self-employed, entrepreneurs and high-tech jobs.
The Madrid government has reaffirmed its opposition to a vote on secession, noting that nationalists failed to get a majority of Catalonia's popular vote.
The main separatist alliance and a small pro-independence party won 72 of the 135 regional parliament seats.
Despite their parliamentary majority, separatists got 47.8% of votes cast.
Catalonia has 7.5 million people and provides about one-fifth of Spain's national output (GDP).
"Catalans have voted yes to independence," Catalan regional President Artur Mas told cheering supporters.
"We have a clear, absolute majority in the Catalan parliament to go ahead," Mr Mas added.
His "Junts pel Si" (Together For Yes) coalition has vowed to implement a "roadmap" to achieve an independent Catalan state within 18 months.
The future of Catalonia is expected to be a crucial issue in Spain's general election in December.
The turnout of 78% was a record for a regional vote in Catalonia.
A spokesman for Spain's ruling conservatives, the Popular Party (PP), argued that the separatists had "failed" by not securing a majority of votes.
The PP's Pablo Casado said "this election should serve to end the independence debate once and for all".
Junts pel Si won 62 seats. It can secure a parliamentary majority by combining with the far-left separatist CUP party, which got 10 seats.
Pro-independence Catalans argue that their region gets an unfair deal, contributing too much tax to Madrid in return for insufficient state investment. In terms of GDP theirs is the richest region in Spain.
The result was more ambiguous than the positive rhetoric suggests. The pro-independence camp continues to say they are ready to break away from Spain, even in the face of strong opposition from the Spanish government.
But they know that would be controversial and complicated. In truth, their aim is still to get a legally-recognised referendum.
So they will continue to pile the pressure on the government, safe in the knowledge that a Spanish general election is less than three months away.
A more fractured political landscape at the national level suggests there will either be a change in who holds power, or at least the position of the governing PP will be weakened. And that might lead to a change of stance over the Catalan question in Madrid.
Catalonia's quarrel with Spain explained
Independence debate gets personal ahead of Spain vote
Opposition parties in Spain have criticised the PP's stance on Catalan independence.
Pablo Iglesias, leader of the left-wing protest party Podemos, said: "Only if our party governs in Spain can we build a country called Spain where there is also a place for a nation called Catalonia."
Podemos supports Catalonia's right to hold a referendum on independence, but does not want the region to break away.
Opinion polls suggest a majority of Catalans favour a referendum on independence but are evenly divided over whether to secede.
Liz Castro, chair of the Catalan National Assembly - a pro-independence civil society organisation - said she hoped Spain's government would be receptive to a negotiated separation.
"We hope that it's not going to be loggerheads. We would like, very much, for it to be a stable negotiated agreement, not about whether or not there is independence, but about when," she told the BBC.
The pro-independence parties said ahead of the vote that they considered it a de facto referendum on independence from Spain.
They argue that the Spanish government has consistently refused to allow a legally recognised referendum to take place, ignoring an unofficial vote backing independence in November 2014.
The 19-year-old has appeared just twice for Premier League side Saints, having made his debut in last season's FA Cup fourth-round defeat by Crystal Palace.
The former England Under-17 striker, who has yet to feature in the first team in 2015-16, is eligible to play in Saturday's match against Millwall.
His arrival follows Thursday's sale of striker Ryan Colclough to Wigan.
Crewe stand second bottom of League One, seven points adrift of safety.
Crewe boss Steve Davis is still hopeful of bringing back former striker Ryan Lowe for a third spell at Gresty Road, before Monday night's transfer deadline.
The much-travelled Bury veteran, 37, who is just four short of 200 career goals with seven separate Football League clubs, spent two seasons with the Alex under Dario Gradi from 2006 to 2008.
He then scored twice in six games when he returned to Crewe on loan on 23 November, during which time the Alex recorded two of this season's meagre haul of five League One victories.
"If we can still do the one we want to do then we would," said Crewe boss Steve Davis. "I have spoken to them and we need a decision because we may have to look at alternatives if it can't be done.
"If we can find another one who can do a job for us then that is a possibility as well. We won't go out and find a replacement for Ryan Colclough but one or two new players would give us a lift."

The deal values the merged company at $130bn (£103bn) and is expected to lead to cost savings of $3bn.
The EC's approval is dependent on DuPont and Dow selling off some parts of their businesses to satisfy competition concerns.
The eventual plan is to split the merged company, DowDuPont, into three independent firms.
The three companies would focus on agriculture, materials and speciality products.
The EC had been concerned that the merger as originally proposed could have reduced price competition and choice in pesticides markets, as well as damaging innovation in new products.
Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said: "We need effective competition in this sector, so companies are pushed to develop products that are ever safer for people and better for the environment.
"Our decision today ensures that the merger between Dow and DuPont does not reduce price competition for existing pesticides or innovation for safer and better products in the future."
Dow said the "regulatory milestone" was a significant step towards completing the merger deal.
In addition to the cost savings, the transaction had the "potential for $1bn in growth synergies", Dow said in a statement.
"Longer term, the intended three-way split is expected to unlock even greater value for shareholders and customers and more opportunity for employees as each company will be a leader in attractive segments where global challenges are driving demand for their distinctive offerings," it added.
To get the go-ahead from the Commission, DuPont agreed to sell off parts of its global pesticide business, including its global research and development organisation.
Dow's divestments include two manufacturing facilities for acid co-polymers in Spain and the United States.
The new week-long round-robin competition aims to give more T20 tournament experience to the eight associate countries involved.
Ireland's second game will be against Namibia in Abu Dhabi on 17 January before they face hosts the United Arab Emirates a day later in Dubai.
The tournament's semi-finals and final will take place in Dubai on 20 January.
Experienced internationals Boyd Rankin, Stuart Thompson and Andrew Balbirnie return to the Ireland squad for the tournament.
Rankin (broken leg), Balbirnie (hip) and Thompson (performance anxiety) missed most of Ireland's 2016 campaign.
Niall O'Brien has been left out of the squad with the Ireland selectors opting to take Gary Wilson as the only wicket-keeper while Middlesex seamer Tim Murtagh is also omitted.
Jacob Mulder and Little retain their places in the T20 squad following their debuts in the format against Hong Kong, and Greg Thompson's impressive return in that game after an eight-year absence also sees him make the tour.
Ireland squad: W Porterfield (capt), A Balbirnie, G Dockrell, J Little, J Mulder, A McBrine, B McCarthy, K O'Brien, B Rankin, P Stirling, G Thompson, S Thompson, G Wilson, C Young.
The London Irish back row was man-of-the-match in Saturday's win over Tonga at Rugby Park.
"It's always something I wanted to do, not just turn up and play but prove myself and prove I'm worthy of the jersey," he said.
"Getting the man-of-the-match is something I'll always remember."
Cowan scored a try in the 37-12 triumph over Tonga, having also played in the win over Argentina and the narrow loss to New Zealand.
"I take each Test match as it comes and I think I'm progressing slowly," Cowan told BBC Scotland.
"I still think I've got a lot to offer but I hope people accept I'm worthy to wear the jersey.
"You've always got parts of your game you want to pick up, and there's been a few slight errors I'd like to improve on.
"I don't think any player's had the complete game, where they're 100% happy, so I'm still searching for that and hopefully one day I'll get it in a Scotland jersey."
In the wake of the weekend win, hooker Ross Ford backed Scotland to enjoy a successful Six Nations championship in the new year.
And 28-year-old Cowan also reckons Vern Cotter's side can lift the trophy.
"I know what we can possibly achieve, which is winning the Six Nations, but for me it's about us growing as a team and just keeping progressing," Cowan added
"If you don't believe you can win it what's the point of turning up? I definitely think we're capable of that and we're showing signs of being able to do that.
"If we start looking ahead of ourselves that's when we can slip up, so it's about progressing and just working on those positives, improving the little flaws we've got and you never know what can come."
The 24-hour action from 18:00 GMT on Sunday is expected to cause mass station closures.
The strike is organised in protest at plans to close ticket offices. LU has warned travellers to expect major disruption to services.
The TSSA said London Underground offered it a "new" deal during talks at the conciliation service Acas.
It will put the offer to members.
But in a message to RMT members, regional organiser John Leach said the talks had "failed" and the strike by his union would go ahead.
BBC London transport correspondent Tom Edwards said all previous warnings about strike action "still stand... whatever happens with TSSA" because the RMT represents nearly 10 times as many workers.
Talks between both unions and LU had previously broken down on Friday afternoon.
Mr Leach told members of the RMT that LU had "given exactly the same offer again" during Saturday's last-ditch talks.
"This is just not acceptable. The unsafe practices and pressure on staff and passengers have to be resisted and will be," he said.
Tom Edwards, BBC London Transport Correspondent
There is no doubt this is a blow to the Mayor Sadiq Khan who said he would reduce the number of strikes.
Just yesterday he said strikes were a sign of failure.
This acrimonious dispute though has been rumbling through three mayoralties and the unions have always hated the policy of closing ticket offices and reducing staff numbers.
And even now it's not over.
The TSSA said its talks with London Underground had ended, with a new offer being made.
General secretary Manuel Cortes said the union would now go back to its members and "seek their views" on whether to join the RMT on strike.
Transport for London (TfL) previously said it would address the recommendations of a recent report, which found the closure of ticket offices had caused "significant issues" for Tube passengers.
Before the talks Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer for LU, said there was "no need" for the strike as more workers were already being employed and "around 500 staff will be recruited for stations this year".
TfL told the BBC it was "still inviting the RMT" to the conciliation talks.
A source said the RMT left the talks before TfL had the opportunity to share any further proposals, a point the RMT disputed.
Humza Yousaf revealed the move after widespread criticism of existing ScotRail services.
He said the contract could be cancelled in 2020 and contingency plans were in place for the Scottish government to take over train services earlier.
ScotRail said it was working to implement a 246-point improvement plan.
Scottish Labour said Mr Yousaf was "running out of excuses".
Dutch firm Abellio took over the ScotRail franchise in April last year in a 10-year deal worth up to £6bn but with the option for the Scottish government to cancel it at the halfway point.
Since then it has been regularly criticised over punctuality and reliability, with a broken-down train in Edinburgh last week causing widespread disruption.
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, he said current performance levels were "unacceptable" and confirmed Abellio could be stripped of the contract if punctuality dipped below 84.3% for three consecutive months.
He said: "If the Scottish government, if Transport Scotland had to take over the railways tomorrow, we have contingency plans in place to do that."
According to the latest performance data from ScotRail, 86% of trains were on time or less than five minutes late between 16 October and 12 November.
Mr Yousaf confirmed the Scottish government's preference for a public sector operator to run the service, suggesting this could happen from 2020 when there is a break point in the contract.
He said: "My position is that we're going to put together a public sector bid.
"I'm going to be calling on the unions this week - and indeed other political parties - to join with me in a discussion about how we might put together a viable public sector bid."
The SNP has previously promised to open up the rail franchise to public sector bids, under powers devolved in the Scotland Act 2016.
Mr Yousaf refused be drawn on whether he favoured nationalising the railways in Scotland, pointing out that the Scottish Parliament does not currently have that power.
However, he said there was "a strong argument" for integrating the train operator and Network Rail should such powers be devolved in future.
A ScotRail Alliance spokesperson said: "We are concentrating on delivering rail services as detailed in our Performance Improvement Plan, which contains 246 individual actions to make things better, every single day.
"We are going through the biggest change and improvement in our railway infrastructure since the Victorian era. All of this will take time.
"While we are working on it, we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and to keep people moving. When it is all in place, we will have transformed rail travel in Scotland."
Scottish Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said: "Instead of questioning the motivations of trade unionists working on the railways, the SNP transport minister should hold his hands up and accept responsibility for his failure to deliver a railway network that passengers in Scotland deserve.
"When the SNP awarded the contract to run the railways to Abellio, ministers said it was a 'world-leading' deal, but now today Humza Yousaf has admitted the performance has been anything but.
"Overcrowded trains, delayed trains and cancelled trains: that's the SNP's record under Humza Yousaf. Passengers are fast losing confidence in him - the clock is ticking."
Police were called at 09:50 GMT to Kensington Park, in the Easton area.
The woman's death is being treated as unexplained pending the outcome of a post-mortem examination.
Avon and Somerset Police said a referral had been made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as there was contact with force before the woman's death.
That's the question we posed to users of the BBC Sport website, on the eve of Alastair Cook breaking Michael Atherton's record for the most Tests as captain of England.
Cook has now led his country 55 times, but is he the best? You've been voting for your top five for almost a week, and there's a very clear winner...
Mike Brearley appeared in 82% of the 55,000 lists submitted, and was ranked number one in 41% of them.
Michael Vaughan was the only other captain to be top of more than 20% of your rankings.
Based on your selections, the five best England Test captains of all time are (in ranking order):
Perhaps it is no surprise a man who authored a book titled 'The Art of Captaincy' came out on top.
Brearley, now 74, averaged only 23 with the bat in Test cricket and never scored a century - but his ability to mould a team and inspire them to success marked him out.
Indeed, Australia fast bowler Rodney Hogg once said Brearley "has a degree in people".
The Englishman's greatest moment came during the 1981 Ashes series against Australia.
England, under the leadership of all-rounder Sir Ian Botham, lost the first Test and drew the second.
Brearley stepped up for the third and engineered a quite remarkable turnaround in which England recovered from 135-7 following on to win the Test.
Botham was the catalyst in the middle, and the momentum shift saw England win the series in style by triumphing in the next two Tests.
Brearley took England and Botham from one of their lowest points to arguably their most famous victory in the space of a few days.
Vaughan, who won back the Ashes in 2005 after 18 years in Australian hands, was a clear second.
He actually appeared in marginally more top fives than Brearley, but was ranked number one only 24% of the time.
Continuing the theme of Ashes-winning captains, Andrew Strauss, who engineered victory in Australia in 2009-10, was third and Alastair Cook fourth.
Fifth place was less clear.
Douglas Jardine, who masterminded the revolutionary and controversial Bodyline tactics in 1933-34, was picked by 40% of respondents, with 5% having him top.
Yorkshire's Brian Close, statistically England's most successful captain with a win percentage of 86% in seven Tests, was first choice for 8% of people.
However, the fact he polled 4% less of the overall vote than Jardine saw him narrowly lose out on a place in the top five.

Sixty-one-year-old George Jamieson had been missing since Saturday.
His body was found inside a car in Ballintoy harbour on Thursday morning.
Insp Colin Shaw, of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said: "The body has been recovered and efforts are ongoing to recover the vehicle."
Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious.
Jonathan Le Tocq's original comments, where he expressed fears about negativity and an unwelcoming attitude, prompted a backlash.
States advocate Peter Ferbrache said the remark was "ill-judged" and islanders were "decent people".
Mr Le Tocq said his comments had been "taken out of context".
Guernsey was "not a xenophobic or Islamophobic community", he said in a statement.
"I certainly did not intend to accuse our community outright of 'xenophobia', and I apologise to those who have, rightly, been angered by the way those comments have been presented.
"However, it would be false to say there are not some people in our community who hold those views, and who have promulgated them on social media."
He said the rest of Guernsey's population should try to tackle such discrimination.
Some residents in Guernsey expressed their unhappiness with the chief minister.
Mel Symondson, a shop owner in the island, said she was "deeply ashamed" of Mr Le Tocq's comments, which had made her feel "hideous".
She said she had wanted Guernsey to accept Syrian refugees, and felt the minister had damaged the island's international reputation.
Mr Ferbrache told the BBC "Guernsey people are no more prejudiced than anywhere else" and he was glad Mr Le Tocq had apologised.
But Deputy Peter Sherbourne said though Islamophobia was an "unwise" term to use, he shared some of Mr Le Tocq's concerns.
He said there were some "extremely racist comments coming from people in the island" on social media, which had caused as much damage to Guernsey's reputation as the minister's comments.
It claims that the New Day is the first "standalone" national daily in 30 years.
The title, which has an "optimistic approach" and is politically neutral, is aimed at readers who no longer buy a paper.
The launch comes as Trinity reported a £14.4m fall in annual pre-tax profit to £67.2m in a "challenging" print market.
Two million copies of New Day are being distributed free on Monday. It will then cost 25p for two weeks before rising to 50p.
Trinity Mirror hopes to sell about 200,000 copies a day.
Chief executive Simon Fox said the new title "fills a gap in the market for a daily newspaper designed to co-exist in a digital age". It will not have a website.
The New Day is being edited by Alison Phillips, the Mirror's weekend editor.
She said she aimed to "cover important stories in a balanced way, without telling the reader what to think".
The title would be a standalone product rather than a cut-down version of the Daily or Sunday Mirror, Ms Phillips said, although it will take content from those titles along with Trinity's regional papers and the Press Association news agency.
It has just 25 staff and the publisher hoped it could become profitable quickly.
It is the first new national paper since the launch of i, a slimmed-down version of the Independent, went on sale in October 2010.
Trinity Mirror claims it is the first standalone title since the Independent's own debut in 1986.
The New Day arrives despite declining sales of newspapers as readers increasingly move online.
Earlier this month the owner of the Independent titles said the print versions would close at the end of March with only its online edition surviving.
Given the shrinking market Mr Fox told BBC Radio 5 live that more national newspapers could close or merge.
"Although print is difficult it is still a key part of what we do and we still want to protect it," he said.
Many newspaper publishers still make the bulk of their revenues from print editions despite the popularity of reading content online. Advertisers pay more for print rather than digital advertising and print titles also generate revenue from their cover price.
However, print advertising has suffered a sharp slide in recent months, with the Daily Mail owner reporting a 20% fall in print revenues at the start of 2016.
Mr Fox said there was still a significant demand for local news, which was one reason why Trinity Mirror had bought rival publisher, Local World, last year for about £187m.
The company said annual revenues were down 6.9% to £592m, but the better than expected figure helped send Trinity Mirror shares up 3.6% in afternoon trading to 158.25p.
However, the shares are still down about 20% over the past 12 months.
Trinity Mirror also said it had put aside £29m in relation to civil claims arising from phone hacking charges.
The trust said E.coli 0157 has been detected during routine sampling at the main kitchen at the hospital.
"No patients, staff or members of the public have shown symptoms of being affected by this bacteria," it said.
"We currently have stringent food safety measures in place and are liaising with all relevant agencies."
DUP assembly member Sydney Anderson said the news would cause concern among patients and staff.
"However, it demonstrates that the routine checks carried out in the kitchens are necessary and are capable of identifying the presence of this bacteria without anyone displaying symptoms of infection," he added.
The so-called "English votes for English laws" measures have been announced in response to devolution.
Commons Leader Chris Grayling said the change would bring "real fairness to our constitutional arrangements".
But former Tory Welsh Secretary David Jones said decisions on some services in England would affect Wales.
Under the proposals announced in Parliament on Thursday, all MPs would continue to vote on all key stages of legislation.
But English MPs - and in some cases English and Welsh MPs - will have a veto in Westminster when debating matters that have been devolved to administrations across the UK.
Mr Jones, MP for Clwyd West, raised the matter of cross-border issues, saying people in north Wales were "heavily reliant upon services provided in England, most particularly health services".
"They are already disadvantaged by the defective devolution settlement put in place by the party opposite, " he told Mr Grayling.
"Can he assure the House that they are not further disadvantaged by the measures he is putting in place?"
The minister responded by saying Welsh MPs would still be able to vote on, and to contribute to, decision making about health issues in England but added that "those matters cannot simply be imposed on the English against their wishes".
Newport West Labour MP Paul Flynn called for a constitutional convention to discuss setting up a federal UK, accusing the UK government of "staggering and stumbling with these ad hoc steps ... that will lead to the certain break up of the United Kingdom".
In response to a question from Plaid Cymru MP Hywel Williams, Mr Grayling admitted that there would only be a "relatively small" number of England-only committees needed to consider such bills, and that most Commons committees would continue to be made up of MPs from across the UK.
Wales became the only nation in the UK to introduce a "deemed consent" system in December 2015.
Kerry Smith, from Abergele, Conwy county, but now living in Cheltenham, said it could save even more lives.
The Department of Health in England said it was waiting to see how changes in Welsh legislation impact donations.
Ms Smith's daughter Megan Carson, 15, first became ill on a school trip last summer and medical tests revealed she had auto-immune hepatitis - a disease in which the body's own immune system attacks the liver.
She needed a liver transplant and luckily a donor was found within a couple of months.
Ms Smith told the BBC's Wales Today programme the experience made them realise the shortage of donor organs could be helped if England adopted the same system as across the border.
It means adults would be regarded as having consented to organ donation unless they have opted out.
The problem is particularly acute for children's organs, as those aged under 20 make up only 4% of those on the donor register.
"The more organs that are available, the more lives that are saved," Ms Smith said.
"My daughter Megan had to wait just less than two months, we were incredibly lucky to get a donor that quickly."
She added it would also "ease the decision that upset relatives have to make at that time".
Megan said: "There aren't enough people who are donating in England.
"One person can donate several organs and I think presumed consent can help so much more than just opting-in because not enough do."
Labour's Paul Flynn, MP for Newport West, has already called for change and has introduced a Private Members Bill that, if passed, would see presumed consent adopted across the UK.
"The system has proved to be a huge success and has saved a great many lives," he said.
"Every day that goes by, those in the rest of the United Kingdom have to suffer the anxiety of waiting for an organ and in many cases it's not available and they tragically die."
In a statement, the Department of Health in England said it had "no plans to introduce an opt-out system but were waiting to see how changes in legislation in Wales impact on donations".
It added that it would "continue to work closely with the Welsh Government to identify ways to build on the significant increase in organ donations already achieved since 2008".
"Ongoing work as part of the implementation of the Transplantation 2020 strategy aims to bring UK donor and transplant rates to a world class level, giving many more people the opportunity of a transplant," the statement said.
"We encourage everyone to discuss their organ donation wishes with their family and friends."
A 34th-minute strike by Joshua Sargent settled this Group F encounter in Incheon.
The 17-year-old's third goal of the tournament sent the Americans top of the group on four points with the Senegalese in second place.
Having won their opening game against Saudi Arabia, Senegal's destiny is still very much in their own hands.
Victory in their final group fixture against Ecuador will send them through. Even a draw might be enough depending on results elsewhere.
In the group's other game, Saudi Arabia beat Ecuador 2-1 to take all three point and move into third place.

Anderson, England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, has not played since the fourth Test loss to Pakistan in August because of a damaged shoulder.
Durham paceman Wood, 26, has been having treatment for an ankle injury.
England play three one-day internationals and two Tests on the tour, for which they leave on Thursday.
The first ODI takes place in Mirpur on 7 October, with the opening Test in Chittagong starting on 20 October.
Wood was named in both squads while Lancashire's Anderson, 34, was due to play only in the Tests.
Nottinghamshire's Jake Ball, 25, has been called up to the Test squad, and selectors will consider a further addition at a later date.
Middlesex's Steven Finn, 27, has been added to the ODI squad.
Anderson, who missed two Tests against South Africa last year with a calf problem, suffered a stress fracture of the right shoulder in the third Test draw against Sri Lanka at Lord's in June.
He was subsequently not selected for the first Test against Pakistan despite declaring himself fit, a row captain Alastair Cook called a "messy affair".
Anderson, who has taken 463 Test wickets, was rested when England last toured Bangladesh in 2010.
He hopes to be fit for the five-Test tour of India, which begins on 9 November.

BBC Sport cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew:
Anderson's injury was widely reported this morning, but Wood's withdrawal, also due to a recurrence of a previous problem - his left ankle - comes as a surprise and a disappointment.
This will be a tough enough series anyway without losing two men whose skill and experience in Anderson's case, and pace in Wood's, would have made a difference in the benign conditions England can expect in Bangladesh.
Both players hope to be available for the India Test series that follows.
The programme began in 2013 as Mr Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, decided to put pressure on President Bashar al-Assad to stand down.
The decision to halt it was made almost a month ago, by which time the flow of arms had already slowed significantly.
The officials said the move was part of an effort to improve ties with Russia.
Russia's military support has helped Mr Assad hold on to power during the six-year civil war that has left more than 300,000 people dead and displaced 11 million others.
The Washington Post newspaper was the first to report the end of the CIA weapons programme on Wednesday night.
Mr Trump made his decision after a meeting in the Oval Office with National Security Adviser H R McMaster and CIA Director Mike Pompeo and before he held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Germany on 7 July, according to the Post.
Two days after the summit, a truce brokered by the US and Russia took effect in three southern Syrian provinces. But the end of the weapons programme was reportedly not a condition of the negotiations.
US officials told Reuters news agency there had long been doubts about the programme's effectiveness. Despite a lengthy vetting process, some rebels had defected to so-called Islamic State (IS) and other jihadist groups, they said.
The CIA-backed groups have also been targeted repeatedly by Russian air strikes, which began in September 2015.
One official said Mr Trump's decision was not a major concession to Russia given Mr Assad's grip on power, adding: "It's a signal to Putin that the administration wants to improve ties."
But another called the decision "momentous", telling the Post: "Putin won in Syria."
A separate US military programme to train, arm and provide air support to an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters battling so-called Islamic State will continue.
The White House and the CIA declined to comment on the reports.
Mr Trump had suggested before he took office in January that he might end support for the rebels and prioritise the fight against IS in eastern and northern Syria.
In late March, the White House said it had abandoned the goal of forcing Mr Assad to stand aside, explaining that "there is a political reality that we have to accept".
But the next month, after the US accused the Syrian government of a deadly chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town, Mr Trump ordered a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base and his secretary of state said Mr Assad's actions suggested "there would be no role for him to govern the Syrian people".
Mr Trump's decision to agree to the Russian demand to end the weapons programme comes as he faces intense scrutiny by Congress and a special counsel investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
More than 3.7 million Rwandans signed a petition asking parliament to abandon two-term presidential limit - a change that will now be put to a referendum.
Mr Kagame has always said it is up to the Rwandan people to decide.
Rights groups have accused the Rwandan authorities of silencing the opposition and stifling the media.
BBC Africa Live: News updates
Pro-government Rwandan newspaper The New Times says hundreds of people turned up at parliament on Tuesday morning to watch the debate on presidential term limits.
Those who want Mr Kagame to stay credit him with "leading the struggle to stop the 1994 genocide", it says.
On Monday, a ruling party RPF message was circulated on social media in the capital, Kigali, urging people to take buses to parliament to support Mr Kagame.
The small opposition Green Party has been the only dissenting voice calling for the constitution not to be altered to allow for a third term, and petitioning instead for a single presidential term to be changed from seven to four years.
Last month, it went to the Supreme Court to try and stop the move to change the constitution, but the party was unable to get legal representation
The party has been given until 29 July to find a lawyer to take on the case.
In neighbouring Burundi, there have been violence clashes following a decision by President Pierre Nkurunziza to seek in a third term in elections next week.
The RPF's rebel movement took power in Rwanda after the genocide in which some 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.
President Kagame, who has won two elections, has been hailed by his supporters for driving rapid economic growth.
John Lowe, 82, from Farnham, denied the murders and a firearms charge, claiming the deaths of Christine Lee, and Lucy Lee were "a terrible accident".
But jurors at Guildford Crown Court heard he wanted the women "put down".
Police confiscated guns from Lowe nearly a year before the shootings but later returned them.
The firearms were taken by officers from Surrey Police in March 2013 after Christine Lee's other daughter, Stacy Banner, reported she had been threatened by Lowe.
Ms Banner condemned the decision to give Lowe his weapons back.
Speaking outside court after the verdict, she said: "John Lowe pulled the trigger but it was Surrey Police that put the gun in his hand."
The force apologised and said it commissioned two independent reports into the return of the guns, which both indicated "the decision was flawed and did not meet national standards".
It also revealed three police staff members had misconduct notices issued to them over the matter.
During the trial, jurors heard a frantic 999 call from Lucy Lee, 40, who told the operator: "I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum."
Mark Dennis QC, prosecuting, said police were met with a "scene of carnage" when they arrived at the farm in February.
The body of 66-year-old Christine Lee was found inside the main building, while the body of Lucy Lee was discovered outside, near the animal pens.
The mother had been shot in the chest from less than a foot away and her daughter received a fatal shot to the back of the head, according to post-mortem tests.
Talking about Lucy's actions on that day, Ms Banner said: "The courage of her final words inspire me. She was so very brave. I am trying hard to draw on her strength and live up to her high standard as I move forward with my life but it is hard.
"John Lowe brutally and deliberately murdered my mum and my sister by shooting each of them at close range with a shotgun - they did not stand a chance.
"My life stopped when their lives ended on February 23 this year."
Following the verdict, Christine Lee's sister, Julia James, said: "John Lowe will never pay for taking the innocent lives of my sister Christine and my niece Lucy Lee.
"Christine and Lucy put the needs of others first, my sister had a heart of gold and was full of life. Lucy believed in protecting life and being kind to others."
She added: "I witnessed on numerous occasions how caring Christine and Lucy had been towards Lowe. It has been heart-breaking listening to his lies."
Lowe told the court he never intended to kill the women and his gun went off three times accidentally due to the "ludicrous" way he was holding it because of his bad arthritis.
He had a "love-hate relationship" with the women and felt they were trying to control his affairs, it was said.
After the shooting, Lowe told PC Richard McEwan: "They had to be put down, there was nothing else I could do.
"I have had terrible problems with Christine. They wouldn't let me eat."
Another officer, PC Christopher Fairclough, was also told by Lowe: "I am not sorry. I am out of the problem. They are causing me problems every day."
Lowe also killed four dogs and following his arrest said to police: "I am sorry I put the dogs down but I couldn't leave them to anyone else to look after."
Jaswant Narwal, chief crown prosecutor for Crown Prosecution Service South East, said: "Anyone involved in this case cannot fail to have been moved by the extraordinary courage shown by Lucy Lee.
"On the day of the killings, she called the emergency services to tell them that her mother had just been shot and that, despite the clear threat to her own life, she would be going back for her.
"Tragically, Lowe killed her after she returned to the scene."
A police spokeswoman said: "Whilst the full investigation into this matter remains on-going, in light of these early findings we have spoken with members of Christine and Lucy Lee's family to apologise for this."
The IPCC said it was investigating the decision to return the guns to Lowe.
Lowe will be sentenced at Guildford Crown Court on 31 October.
The 25-year-old, who is joining for the start of the 2017 season, has scored 3,917 first-class runs at an average of 39.17, including seven centuries.
Head coach Pierre de Bruyn was "delighted". He said: "Colin is a quality top-order batsman who can also bowl some useful off-spin.
"He will offer us a good option in all three formats of the game."
The Dean of St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast, John Mann has said the annual Black Santa charity appeal is nearing its target of £200,000.
It is the sixth year the Dean has taken part in the sit-out.
He said he was overwhelmed by the public's response and that many charities will benefit as a result.
"This is the best year so far, in terms of the amount we have collected.
"Yesterday was a bit bleak for a couple of hours as the storm came through but it wasn't as bad as we thought it might be."
"In January we figure out which charity is getting what. Mostly they are local community based charities.
"About 15% of the money also goes abroad for humanitarian work," he said.
The traditional Christmas vigil was started in 1976 under Dean Sammy Crooks and millions have been raised since then.
Dean Jack Shearer, who died in 2001, was initially dubbed the Black Santa by the media in the 1980s.
This was because of his distinctive black warm woollen clothing and the name caught on with the public.

Home favourite Dean Burmester carded a 65 to win his first European Tour Title on 18-under.
Scotland's Jamieson shared the lead with Sweden's Alexander Bjork after rounds two and three at Pretoria Country Club.
But his hopes evaporated early when he bogeyed three of his first four holes.
The 33-year-old ran up a double bogey on the eighth on his way to a front nine of 39 and he double-bogeyed the 12th and 13th, eventually finishing in a tie for 22nd.
Bjork carded a 71 to end the tournament in fifth spot.
Burmester began the day one shot behind Jamieson and Bjork but his second successive 65 ensured he finished three clear of both Finland's Mikko Korhonen and Spain's Jorge Campillo.
"I can't believe it," Burmester, 27, said. "I sharpened my teeth as a youngster on the Big Easy Tour here at home and I think I had five seconds in one year and then two years later I had four wins on the Sunshine Tour.
"It's gone from strength to strength and now I'm a European Tour winner and that sounds great."

There are now several companies here in the US promising that their algorithms can get more bang for your investment buck at a fraction of the price charged by traditional investment managers.
Managing your portfolio, diversifying your investments and handling your tax liabilities can all be done automatically 24/7.
And machines aren't swayed by fear and greed, the primary emotions that often drive very poor investment decisions. They can crunch terabytes of data and take a global, long-term view, spreading your investments across geographies and asset classes, from bonds to equities, index funds to property.
Just don't call it "robo-investing", says Adam Nash, chief executive of Wealthfront, one of the leading companies in the field, managing more than $1.8bn (£1.2bn) of client assets.
"I've never actually heard a young person refer to robo-investing since I've been here." He joined Wealthfront in 2013.
"It seems to be uniformly a term used by older financial advisers to make fun of the new-fangled tech that these kids are using. Expedia is not a robo-travel agent; I don't buy movie tickets on my robot phone."
He suggests "automated investment service" instead. As a former employee of eBay, Apple and LinkedIn, who has a computer science degree from Stanford and a business degree from Harvard, he should know.
In fact, many of the people running the companies that are igniting this new generation of personal investing combine advanced software engineering skills with strong business acumen.
Inevitably, some are likely to end up as household names and on billionaire lists in the not-too-distant future if they can achieve their ambition of expanding investment to the masses.
Jon Stein, the founder and chief executive of Betterment, is another good example. Educated at Columbia Business School and Harvard, he went on to write the initial code for Betterment's website.
"We do everything from end to end," he says. "We do your statements and tax integration; we do all the ACH [Automated Clearing House] transactions; we do the accounting and record keeping.
"We are able to make that process much more efficient and optimised around trading personalised portfolios."
Betterment says 75% of its clients are under 50. At Wealthfront 60% are under 35. So far, this has mostly been a young person's game.
Perhaps that's not surprising, says Mr Nash, considering that the younger generations are much more aware of hidden fees, having seen phone, cable, airline and brokerage companies adopting such "revenue optimisation" models.
Quite simply, many customers regard these hidden fees as stealing, he says.
"Young people hate the idea of... eight pages of fees that you don't find out about until you are already in the system.
"At Wealthfront we have literally two price points. Under $10,000 is free with no commissions at all, and over $10,000 we charge one quarter of one per cent. It's not like the millionaires are getting a better deal."
The democratisation of high-quality investment performance is not necessarily new.
Low-fee index tracker funds attempt to replicate the performance of particular stock market indexes by copying in full, or in part, the constituent stocks making up that index. If the constituents of the index change, so will your tracker fund - automatically.
These tracker funds have produced better returns than almost any human-run fund, net of fees. And that's been proven over decades.
The Vanguard Group and its founder John Bogle have been shouting about their not-so-secret sauce for decades.
Vanguard spokeswoman Kate Henderson says the general advice for any kind of investment methodology, no matter how old or new, is the same.
"You need to do your homework no matter if you're working with an adviser face to face or a robo-adviser," she says.
"Check credentials and references, look at the financial disclosures. Understand where the fees are coming from. Ask the right questions. How is the adviser compensated?"
Vanguard says it has no plans to develop its own fully automated investment platform because its clients are generally older and have more complex portfolios. Such seasoned investors often need a helping human hand when retirement is looming.
But to fend off competition from new generation investment companies it introduced Personal Advisor Services in 2013, which offers low-fee advice and tries to mimic what "robo-investors" do.
Not that Vanguard has any reason to worry.
Many of the new automated services buy Vanguard ETF [Exchange Traded Fund] Index products as a core investment within their own portfolios. So Vanguard still dominates the industry, alongside the likes of Fidelity and Schwab.
But Wealthfront chief Adam Nash points out there is a huge difference between knowing what you're supposed to do and actually doing it consistently.
Only those with the ability, time and willingness to supervise their investments actively would find Wealthfront redundant, which is a tiny percentage of everyday investors, he believes.
So he has no qualms about being a relative newcomer to the industry.
"You are talking about 90 million millennials [people coming of age at the turn of the 21st Century] in America. Those businesses with a gold standard are not as shiny as they used to be after the [2008] financial crises.
"I don't think you'll find any survey of millennials that puts the brand of any brokerage or bank particularly high these days. Most of the brands that took decades or even centuries to build are exceptionally tarnished with young people. We are at a unique moment."
When Jon Stein started Betterment it was out of sheer frustration with his existing brokerage firms who made it complicated to sign up and difficult to navigate through their services.
These were financial businesses first and web entities second, he argues. That's why Betterment put a lot of effort into making its website simple to use.
"We have optimised that interface and we know that it helps people stay the course," says Mr Stein.
"They make better decisions. For example, we launched a new feature called Tax Impact Preview, which tells you what your taxes will be before you make a transaction. We found that when people see this, 62% of them don't go through with the transaction."
That suggests that across the sector an awful lot of people are transacting without knowing the full implications of their choices.
But the strength of the automated investment idea is also its biggest potential weakness.
Computers and algorithms can keep you on track as long as they know the track you are on. Deviate from it in any way - a divorce, a new baby - without telling the computer and suddenly your money may be going in a different direction to you.
But for an industry still in its infancy the concept is attracting a lot of attention from venture capitalists and consumers.
Eventually every financial transaction we make is likely to be monitored in real time with instant advice available at every moment.
A frightening or wonderful thought?
Mr López has been moved to house arrest after more than three years in jail.
He left a prison near Caracas and was reunited with his family on Saturday.
Mr López was serving a 14-year sentence for inciting violence during anti-government protests in 2014, a charge he has always denied. The Supreme Court said he was released on health grounds.
Mr Maduro said he "respected" and "supported" the Supreme Court's decision but called for "a message of peace and rectification" in the country.
Hours after being freed, Mr López urged supporters to continue protesting in the streets against Mr Maduro.
Venezuela's opposition and international powers have long pressed for his freedom. The head of the Organisation of American States regional bloc, Luis Almagro, said the court's decision offered an opportunity for national reconciliation.
Henrique Capriles, a former opposition presidential candidate, stressed "he must be given his full liberty together with all political prisoners", Reuters reported.
Giving a glimpse of his son's life behind bars, Mr López's father told Spanish radio "a few days ago they had punished him with solitary confinement without light or water for three days".
He said his son was now wearing an electronic tag so that the authorities could keep abreast of his movements.
His wife had complained that she had not been allowed to see him for more than a month, but on Friday she tweeted she had been allowed an hour-long meeting.
In May, a government lawmaker published a video of Mr López in his cell following rumours that he had been poisoned and taken to hospital.
In the video, Mr López - a Harvard-educated former mayor who has been prevented by the government from standing for public office - said he was well and did not know why he was being asked to prove he was still alive.
Venezuela has been experiencing a wave of anti-government protests similar to those over which Mr López was jailed.
The opposition is calling for early elections and the release of opposition politicians jailed in recent years, saying the socialist governments of President Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chávez, have mismanaged the economy since coming to power in 1999.
North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust was one of 11 put into special measures in 2013 after a review found higher-than-expected mortality rates.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said while improvements were being made, serious staffing issues remained.
The trust said it was working hard to tackle "recognised" issues.
Inspectors visited the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and the midwifery-led birthing service at Penrith Community Hospital between 31 March and 2 April.
They found that, despite efforts to recruit more senior doctors, the trust was still short of 50 consultants, with the majority of vacant posts at the West Cumberland Hospital.
The report concluded: "Despite efforts by the trust to improve the numbers of medical consultants employed, there were numerous vacant consultant posts.
"Vacancies were covered by locum doctors in some areas, however the high vacancy rate was having an adverse effect on the timeliness of treatment for patients and meant support for junior doctors was not robust or effective."
There was also a shortage of nurses, especially on medical wards, inspectors found.
The report described some elements of medical care at the West Cumberland Hospital as "inadequate", adding that improvements were required in several other areas.
While inspectors acknowledged that overall progress had been made since a similar visit in 2014, they said the trust would remain in special measures.
Trust chief executive Ann Farrar said: "The CQC has clearly recognised the deep-rooted problems faced by our hospitals, in particular the ongoing fragility of services at West Cumberland, which require NHS system-wide solutions and a clear clinical strategy to be agreed with urgency."
NHS England added: "We are working with partners to address the challenges highlighted in the CQC report to ensure patients receive safe, high-quality hospital services."
The acquisition of Arden Asset Management will boost its hedge fund unit's assets from $2bn to $11bn.
The deal follows Aberdeen's acquisition in May of US private equity firm Flag Capital Management.
The two deals combined will take assets on Aberdeen's alternatives platform to more than $30bn.
The value of the Arden acquisition was not disclosed.
The Arden purchase is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to approval by regulators, trustees and shareholders of certain mutual funds.
Aberdeen chief executive Martin Gilbert said: "Institutional investors are looking to hedge fund solutions to offer risk/return profiles not available via mainstream strategies and traditional asset classes.
"The acquisition of Arden emphasises further Aberdeen's commitment to diversifying its overall business and to growing its alternatives platform."
Here are some of the voices from Greece on how daily lives have been affected by country's money worries.
"I'm working 12 hours a day" - Theodoros Tzokas, Cafe owner
There seems to be a huge cloud of insecurity hanging over my head every day. My business which took me ages to build keeps suffering because I am losing customers every day. My loyal customers' behaviours keep changing on a daily basis because of this crisis.
I had to let all my good employees go, because I can't keep them anymore. I am working over 12 hours a day because I have no employees any more to help me out. It's really tough but there isn't much I can do.
I am not sure how long I can keep going like this. The only good thing is that I don't have to queue up for cash like most people because I have been putting money away at home for a long time. I knew we were going to have these crises so I made the decision not to save in the bank.
"There's simply no cash left" - Ilia Iatrou, former English teacher
Greece should continue to say no to the EU demands because the country can't take any more of the ongoing austerity measures. Frankly, the situation is unbearable over here.
My mother-in-law queued up for over an hour at the cash point just to be able to withdraw a small amount of money. I haven't tried to go to the cash machine myself, as we don't have much money left. There's simply no cash left in the system.
Some of us have been forced to now resort to a sort of barter system among ourselves because we have no money left. We just can't take any more of this, so we have to keep saying no to the EU masters. The EU can't afford to let us fail so we should continue to say no and they will blink and give us a better deal.
"This can't carry on" - Evi Stamou, Orthodontist in Athens
I run my own practice in Athens and am finding it hard to pay my employees. There is no cash in the system at the moment. My customers can't pay me so this is having an unfair knock on effect on my employees' pay.
Luckily, I took some money out a while back because I knew we would have this problem. The money is keeping me afloat at the moment but it's running out.
I queued at several cash points - which all ran out of cash - but eventually I managed to get money out from one of them. This can't carry on and I think we need a deal. Most people want out of the euro but I think it's a bad idea.
"We lost half of our employees" - Susan Benekos, British woman living in Greece for 28 years
My family business has suffered tremendously and we lost half of our employees, because of the ongoing crisis. Recently, I couldn't take cash out from the bank.
The situation is dire and we are running out of money. We went to the cash point yesterday but couldn't get anything. The problem is many businesses are now accepting only cash and no cards so it's really hard to do anything.
This crisis is really destroying our lives. I have friends who have had to go live with their parents because they can't afford to pay their rent.
"Everyone is really tense" - Panos Spiropoulos and Katerina Karneris, run a coffee distribution business in Greece
The economy was beginning to pick up again late 2014 but now we seem to have gone backwards after the elections. The uncertainty is damaging our business. We don't know how we are going to pay our suppliers in the coming month since our customers are feeling the pinch from the crisis.
Frankly we have survived the crisis so far because we have been very diligent and put lots of money away. Just like most people we are all fearful that we will lose our money if Greece crashes out of the euro.
The laid back atmosphere in the country has also taken a hit making it difficult to express your political point of view in public without some sort of backlash. Everyone is really tense here making it hard to enjoy this beautiful country.

Nine dead swans have tested positive for the H5N8 strain of the disease.
The swannery said about 80 birds had died so far this winter when it would normally expect about 30 to 40. The cause of most of the swans' deaths is not known.
The virus, which is different to the H5N1 strain that affected the colony in 2008, is considered low risk to humans.
Bird flu outbreak: What you need to know
Tourism general manager John Houston said: "It is spread through bird droppings. It has been in Europe on a wide scale for the last few months so we have expected it because you can't stop migratory birds crossing from the continent.
"This time of the year is a very difficult time of year for wild birds anyway and we would normally expect to see 30 to 40 [swan deaths] over the winter period but, as of Saturday, we have had 80 so far which is above the norm and is distressing for the staff who are very close to these wonderful birds."
There are about 600 birds at the site, the world's only managed colony of nesting mute swans.
The attraction, which is closed for winter, said it routinely sent any bird that died to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) for testing.
Avian flu has also been detected at other sites around the UK, including the Wildfowl and Wetlands Slimbridge reserve in Gloucestershire.
In December, poultry keepers were ordered keep their birds inside to protect them from the strain.
Samantha Baldwin, 42, from Newark, was last seen in Nottingham city centre on Monday and is believed to be with Louis Madge, 9, and Dylan Madge, 6.
Police said the case was being treated as abduction and confirmed Ms Baldwin did not have legal custody of the boys.
There have been several sightings and police are "open minded" over whether they had left the UK.
A 62-year-old woman and another woman, 36, both arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have been bailed.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
Supt Rich Fretwell said: "We've had eight sightings across the country, six of those we've discounted, two are still forming part of the live investigation.
"We have an all ports warning in place, that stretches over to Europe, however, there's no indication at the moment that they have left the country, but we keep an open mind.
"We've had numerous sightings... and we will go wherever the inquiries take us.
"The reality is we still do not know where Samantha and the two boys are."
Ms Baldwin has been urged to get in touch to confirm she and the boys are safe.
Detectives have been carrying out searches of properties, studied CCTV footage and used number plate recognition technology.
Ms Baldwin is described as being 5ft 7ins (1.7m) tall, of a slim build with shoulder length, highlighted blonde hair and green/blue eyes.
She has family connections in Lincolnshire and Manchester.
Louis is described as having fair hair, a fair complexion and blue eyes and Dylan has straight dark brown hair, a tanned complexion and brown eyes.
The two boys also use the surname of Taylor, police said.
Back in my schooldays, science meant Bunsen burners and the periodic table. I remember getting to type some script into an ancient computer about once a month.
The 3,000 schoolchildren who showcased their science, technology and engineering projects at the University of Ulster on Tueday are light-years ahead.
The sheer variety and invention of their 150 exhibits was breathtaking.
And that is good news for our local economy, as we send fewer young people to university to study science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects than other parts of the UK.
According to recent Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) figures, fewer than a quarter of students at universities and colleges in Northern Ireland study STEM subjects.
That compares to 25.2% of students in England, 28.1 % in Wales and 28% in Scotland.
Back at the science fair, the statistics were the last thing on Dearbhla McDonald's mind.
Instead, the Sacred Heart College, Omagh, student was busy checking that her school's electric car was ready to impress.
"It's a self-built car, the only one of its kind in Ireland," she said.
"We've raced it at Nutt's Corner, and we've qualified to do an international race at Rockingham in England in October."
The car can reach a top speed of just under 23mph.
It may not attract Louis Hamilton, but it feels pretty quick when you are driving round an exhibition hall full of pupils and their teachers with your legs inches off the ground.
Thankfully, I managed not to cause anyone serious injury during my spin.
Elsewhere there were apps aplenty, medical innovations including special clothes for eczema sufferers, and even a self-made DJ unit.
John Beattie and Arianna Brown from Cookstown High School, County Tyrone, were being kind to new pupils.
They had used the online game Minecraft to produce a virtual version of their school.
"It means that when first year [students] start school we can give them a virtual tour online, instead of just handing then a 2D map," said Arianna.
And John said that they planned to expand the project.
"We're going to create teachers to go into our virtual school," he said.
I wonder how the teachers feel about that.
As someone who still regards Twitter as new-fangled, I was feeling pretty low-tech by now, but help was at hand.
I spotted a large egg-shaped structure, made out of good old-fashioned wood with a little orange plastic lid.
Andrew Rourke from Lagan College, Belfast, is offering a taste of 'the Good Life'.
"I've designed an urban chicken coop for families living in the middle of the city who might only have small gardens."
"It helps them show their children the agricultural side of life, but a couple of chickens can live in it, and it means you might get fresh eggs for breakfast too."
As someone familiar with farming, which I'm not, Andrew assured me that chickens would be happy to jump up to enter his coop.
Some of the young people I met may go on to be the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but all of them are important to the Northern Ireland economy, according to Bill Connor, CEO of Sentinus, the educational charity who organised the fair.
"STEM subjects have never been more important as we seek to develop a strong knowledge economy here in Northern Ireland.
"This event is a centrepiece of our ongoing work to encourage more young people here to pursue these subjects, with a view to developing the necessary skills to underpin for our future economic success."
If this event is anything to go by, the future of innovation in Northern Ireland is in good hands.
As long as they're not mine.
CCTV footage released by Manchester City Council, shows a woman bending down to read messages at the memorial in St Peter's Square.
She then walks over and kicks several wreaths, which commemorate the Battle of the Somme, and leaves with a friend.
A woman, in her 20s, has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage, police said.
It is the second time the landmark has been targeted by vandals in weeks.
A man was fined £90 after he was caught on CCTV kicking one of the wreaths in July.
Another man was caught on CCTV urinating at the same memorial in February.
Rachel Fee's lawyers have told judges at the Criminal Court of Appeal in Edinburgh that the conviction is unsafe.
Last May, she was found guilty with her civil partner, Nyomi Fee, of the murder and ill-treatment of Liam.
Judges Lady Dorrian, Lord Turnbull and Lord Bracadale said they would issue the appeal ruling in the near future.
Defence advocate Brian McConnachie QC told the court that the judge who jailed her made mistakes when directing the jurors.
He said Lord Burns did not tell jurors they could find Fee guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.
Evidence that was led in court against Fee may have shown that she was not responsible for murdering the toddler at a house near Glenrothes in Fife, he added.
Instead, he said jurors may have concluded that the 32-year-old was responsible for the culpable homicide of Liam.
Mr McConnachie said evidence led by the Crown during the original case showed that it was conceivable that Nyomi Fee was the "main actor" in the murder of Liam.
He said: "The jury were entitled to convict the appellant of something less than murder."
Prosecution lawyer Alex Prentice QC told the court that Rachel and Nyomi Fee engaged in a course of criminal conduct which culminated in the death of Liam.
He told the court that, because Rachel did not do anything to alleviate or stop what was happening to Liam, the jurors were entitled to convict her of murder.
Mr Prentice added: "There is no room for culpable homicide in this case."
Lord Burns jailed Fee for 23-and-a-half years for murdering Liam at the High Court in Edinburgh in July 2016. Her civil partner Nyomi Fee was jailed for 24 years.
Jurors heard how the pair spent two years torturing the to before finally killing him at their home in March 2014.
The 26-year-old right-back arrived at Pittodrie on loan from Brentford in January and was in the League Cup final-winning side.
He will sign a two-year contract at the beginning of July, with manager Derek McInnes saying: "We're really pleased to get Shay.
"He will no longer be a loan player and will be an Aberdeen player and I think that's really important."
Logan, who joined Brentford in 2011, made 19 appearances for the Dons, scoring once.
And McInnes added: "I thought he showed enough in his loan spell with us last season in terms of his qualities and we're just looking for that consistency of performance going forward.
"We're delighted he sees Aberdeen as the place to play his football and we're looking forward to working with him again."
Catriona Bhatia claimed that despite major investment the service was failing to live up to its name.
She said there were big differences in speeds being received by homes and businesses covered by the provision.
BT said it had invested heavily to ensure the service reached premises which would not have received it on a commercial basis.
Ms Bhatia was speaking after a report highlighted the progress made and challenges faced in improving broadband access in the south of Scotland.
Scottish Borders Council has invested £8.4m in the rollout of services across the region.
You shouldnt be getting 2MB when somebody down the road is getting 20MB and youre paying exactly the same amount of money.
However, she said the results were variable.
"If you pay for your electricity, you get 240 volts delivered to your house - it should be the same for your broadband speeds," she said.
"You shouldn't be getting 2MB when somebody down the road is getting 20MB and you're paying exactly the same amount of money."
Ms Bhatia said she felt the local authority was not getting the provision it had paid for.
"We have also invested a large sum of public money in this to get a contract that would deliver 94% superfast broadband across the Borders," she added.
"Not everybody within that 94% is getting the same level of service - I think it is actually a bit of a scandal and some further investigation needs to be done."
A BT spokeswoman said it had invested £126m in the Digital Scotland rollout on top of its commercial investment.
She said that the four-year programme was only just past its halfway point and had already benefited more than 23,600 premises in the Borders and more than 41,000 in Dumfries and Galloway.
"Every phone line is different and many factors can affect the speed of broadband, ranging from the length of the line from the fibre-enabled street cabinet, to faulty routers and existing wiring or equipment in people's homes," she said.
"When someone decides to move to a fibre-based service, their service provider should give an indication of what speed they can expect.
"If their service doesn't meet expectation, this should be reported to the service provider in the first instance, so they can investigate the issue."
She added that work was ongoing to improve the service to some homes which might have slower speeds at the moment.
"Phone lines globally are subject to the laws of physics which mean the signal does deteriorate over long distances and we've always been very open about that," she said.
"BT is working on technology to deliver faster broadband speeds over long copper lines at the moment."

The claim: UKIP says it can fund a big increase in NHS spending by cutting the budget for overseas aid.
Reality Check verdict: UKIP could save significant sums by cutting overseas aid, but how much will depend on how the economy performs over the next few years.
"UKIP believes it's wrong to be spending £14bn a year on foreign aid when the Red Cross is describing the situation in our own hospitals as a humanitarian crisis," said UKIP deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans.
Under current legislation, the UK government is required to spend 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on overseas development assistance (ODA), better known as foreign aid.
The provisional figure for 2016 is £13.3bn, according to the Department for International Development.
In its manifesto, UKIP proposes a cut in the spending on overseas aid to 0.2% of GNI, which would cut last year's figure to £3.8bn, a saving of around £9.5bn.
However, UKIP plans to phase in those cuts, so in its manifesto it says the saving in the current financial year would be £6bn and that would increase to £11.7bn by 2021/22.
It also promised that the amount of overseas aid would not fall below £4bn a year and any projects that are under way would be completed.
According to its manifesto, the saving would allow UKIP to spend an extra £9bn on the NHS and £2bn on social care by 2021/22.
UKIP's figures do not seem unreasonable, although the size of future savings would depend directly on how the economy performs over the next few years.
Ms Evans also said that if UK was to spend 0.2% of its national income on overseas aid, then that would be the same as the US in percentage terms.
As the chart above shows that claim is correct, although the US economy is so large that it still dominates overseas aid in cash terms.
Ms Evans also claimed that the UK would still spend more, in cash terms, than Spain and Italy combined.
In the last year for which we have figures, 2016, Spain contributed in overseas aid £3.1bn ($4.1bn) and Italy £3.7bn ($4.8bn), according to the OECD.
So combined, in 2016, those two nations spent £6.8bn, which is substantially more than UKIP's guarantee of spending a minimum of £4bn.
However we don't know now what Spain and Italy will spend in 2017.

Four days after leaving the majesty of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium's Ardennes mountains, the sport decamps to the royal park of Monza in Lombardy for the oldest race on the calendar.
They are very different places, but they share two key characteristics - high speed and a tangible sense of history.
Spa faces a challenge from Japan's Suzuka for the claim to be the world's greatest race track, but nowhere rivals Monza for atmosphere.
All the greats have raced there; and some of them have died there, too. Legend has it that you can feel their ghosts, that the park's ancient trees whisper their secrets. And when you walk into the paddock, resplendent in golden early autumn light, you can almost believe it.
So little has changed at Monza over the years that there is a direct connection to yesteryear. In the concrete grandstand on the pit straight, the retro timing tower opposite the pits, the crumbing old banking, which in the 1950s used to form part of the race track.
Chicanes have been added to slow down what used to be a crazily high-speed blast, but the old corners remain, and their names alone stir the soul - Curva Grande, Lesmo, Parabolica.
A threat hangs over this amazing place, though. This year is the last of its current contract and the organiser and F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone have been arguing unsuccessfully over a new deal for years.
It's the age-old problem for tracks in Europe without vast government backing - Ecclestone wants more money than the circuit can afford to pay.
The word is that it has been worked out and Monza will be saved, but nothing has been officially confirmed. Until it is, there will be a lingering doubt and fear about what could happen.
It's almost unthinkable that Monza could be lost. If it was, a part of the sport would die.
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel said last year that taking this race away from the calendar for money reasons would be "basically ripping our hearts out".

Rene Marratier hid the risks to La Faute-sur-Mer to avoid putting off property developers, the court said.
The storm Xynthia hit western Europe in early 2010. The storm knocked down seawalls in La Faute-sur-Mer, leading to severe flooding.
Marratier called the verdict "unjust" and said he would appeal.
On Friday, the court said that Marratier knew La Faute-sur-Mer, a west coast resort in the Pays de la Loire region, was at risk of flooding.
However, he "deliberately hid" the risk so that he could benefit from the "cash-cow" of property development, the court added.
Marratier's deputy was jailed for two years.
Xynthia swept through Spain, Portugal and France in February 2010, killing at least 50 people in western Europe.
The pair were sent to the stands in the 11th minute of the first leg at Fratton Park after allegedly using improper language and/or behaviour.
The game finished 2-2, with the Pilgrims winning the return game 1-0.
Both have accepted the fine, which is the standard penalty for the offence.
Plymouth are in the play-off final at Wembley later this month where they will play AFC Wimbledon, who beat Accrington in the other semi-final on Wednesday night.
Despite creeping gentrification, this is an area that is still synonymous with urban blight.
It is the most socially deprived district in the United States, with over 40% of residents living below the federal poverty line. It is officially the least healthy place to bring up children in New York State.
And yet this is where high school teacher Stephen Ritz hatched a food-growing project with his students that has been adopted in schools across the US and way beyond, picking up numerous awards on its way.
When we say food-growing, we're not talking mustard-and-cress sprouting on blotting paper in the corner of a science room. Mr Ritz's Green Bronx Machine (GBM) project produces a harvest of fruit and vegetables.
They are cultivated in high-tech indoor tower gardens, creating vertical cornucopias, with edible walls of raspberries, columns of kale and cucumbers, barricades of blueberries and broccoli.
It has grown over 35,000 pounds (15,900kg) of food. Some of it feeds the students and the teachers; plenty is taken home, and more is sold in the community at GBM farmer's markets.
It all started by accident, and its origins are the stuff of legend.
Mr Ritz had been working as a special education teacher and dean of students at Walton High School in the Bronx when one day his class received a gift: a box of 250 daffodil bulbs.
More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch
"I had a class of 17 kids, over-aged, under-credited, with a lot of assorted baggage, whether substance abuse, or criminal background, kids who were marginalised... I was dealing with discipline problems, and these bulbs looked like something kids could throw. I wanted nothing to do with them. I put the box behind a radiator and forgot about them."
Some time later there was a "huge argument" in the classroom: "It looked like it was going from bad to worse". One student ducked behind a radiator and pulled out what was now "a box of blooming flowers". The heat and leaking radiator water had forced the daffodil bulbs.
"This was a game changer. The boys wanted to give them to the girls, the girls wanted to give them to the boys, some kids wanted to sell them. But therein was this very teachable moment, and we realised then that we could grow something greater."
Mr Ritz channelled this excitement into a project, growing flowers for ornamental community gardens in some of the roughest parts of New York.
"We went on to plant 25,000 bulbs across the city, we went into gang areas that I never expected to see."
At the same time Mr Ritz was becoming increasingly aware of the terrible food that both he and his students were living on. Over a third of his students came from "food insecure" homes.
As he pointed out, for some youngsters it was "easier to get hold of an automatic pistol than an organic tomato".
Child obesity was rampant: "Kids were getting fatter and getting sicker. I had 200lb [14 stone, 90kg] sixth graders, and I couldn't accept that."
Mr Ritz himself was overweight from eating too many "99 cent lunches".
His reaction was: "Wow! This is insane! We should be growing food - it was a licence to print money!'"
At first the growing was outdoors, rescuing neglected patches of land around the half-burned-out projects. The students thrived, and Mr Ritz began to lose weight.
Then Walton High School was closed, and Mr Ritz found himself teaching in the new Discovery High School on the same campus. Around this time he encountered indoor plant-growing systems, and realised these could be used to bring the project into classrooms.
"I needed the success I was having outdoors, indoors... I wanted to do something far more replicable and scalable. It made good sense not to be limited by seasons."
So the Green Bronx Machine was born. Apart from turning grim schoolrooms into attractive gardens and providing much-needed vitamins for all, the plant-growing also had a dramatic impact on the school performance.
Students wanted to see how their seeds were doing. Even those who didn't care were curious. Mr Ritz ensured that the sceptics had roles.
Apart from horticultural skills, there was the science of growing, such as the importance of the pH value of the water; the harvesting, weighing, packaging and distribution of produce; the preparation and cooking. Alongside these, the marketing, sales and distribution; and the documentation of everything.
Mr Ritz even had a promise for those who did not want to get their trainers muddy: "No Nike Air Jordans were damaged in the growing of this produce."
Discovery High's attendance figures soared from 40% in 2008 to 93% in 2014. It has now reached 96%.
Many students have found employment as a direct result of their work in GBM. The programme has helped to create well over 2,200 sustainable youth jobs. GBM alumni have gone on to work as teachers, landscapers, green roof and green wall installers, as well as grocery store employees and chefs.
"We had a system that was wholly dysfunctional and turned inside out. But sometimes the simplest solutions are the best."
There's another factor in this success: the persuasive skills of Stephen Ritz himself as "CEO" or "Chief Eternal Optimist", combining the rapid-fire wit of a stand-up with the soundbite-coining skills of a presidential campaign manager.
Mr Ritz was one of 10 finalists in the Global Teacher Prize earlier this year.
His persuasive powers have been vital in winning over doubters in City Hall, state and national government, and in corporations across the country. His students have installed green walls in some of the most prestigious buildings in New York, and have helped spread the word at events as far afield as Colombia and Dubai.
This year, Mr Ritz has taken the project into a new phase, moving into the fourth-floor of what used to be "PS55" (Public School 55), now re-dubbed Community School 55. Here, the GBM team is building what will become the first National Health and Wellness Center, with an indoor community farm, teaching kitchen and more.
Speaking from a meeting in Las Vegas, where he is hoping to open a similar centre, Mr Ritz explained he was "only just getting started" with this ambitious new project.
The aim of the National Health and Wellness Center is "to build concentric circles of success around the school... I don't want to build an oasis, but a rainforest", he said.
It would work with both children and adults to bring living-wage employment to the most embattled communities.
Every student would take home a bag of fresh fruit and vegetables every week - but they'd also be taking home the hope of real long term employment.
"A seed well-planted can bring you a crop of epic proportions and my kids are proof of that."
The Cyber Security Christmas Lectures are taking place for a fifth year, but this year on a larger scale than previously.
The scheme has been widened to include more schools and lectures will take place in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Pupils will be given information on how to indentify and avoid cyber crimes.
They will also be told of career opportunities in cyber security.
The lectures involve industry experts, Police Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University and its supporters include the Scottish government, SQA and Scottish Enterprise.

This is the jet stream and its path is the cause of the repeated flooding being suffered during a British summer that has so far been one of the most miserable on record.
It was first identified by Japanese researchers in the 1920s, and then experienced firsthand by American aviators flying new high-altitude bombers in World War Two.
The jet stream, a massive but mysterious driver of our weather, usually passes along a steady path from West to East across the Atlantic - sometimes a bit to the North of us, sometimes a bit to the South.
As a relatively small island, on the borderline between the Atlantic Ocean and the European continent, the precise location of the stream matters hugely to us and right now we're on the wrong side of it.
This giant flow of air is the result of a constant play of forces across the planet as energy passes from the warmer tropics to the cooler polar regions - and its basic direction is governed by the spin of the Earth.
What matters is where we are in relation to the stream as it surges overhead, particularly when its flow is not a neat curve but a series of massive meanders, like a river approaching the sea.
Our misfortune now is to be on the northern side of those meanders where conditions are cooler and wetter which means we in Britain keep getting hit by rain.
The bigger the meanders, the greater the chance of giant pockets of cooler, wetter air being drawn south, starting to rotate and so initiating the process that leads to storms.
However if you read this in the US, much of which lies to the south of the jet stream, your temperatures have been soaring because the air on that side of the line is far more settled.
Normally, we would expect the pattern of the jet stream to keep shifting, for its shape to switch every few days and for our weather to change as a result.
Instead for week after week - and possibly for weeks ahead too - the meanders of the stream are sticking to the same shape so repeated rainstorms have become the norm.
The implications are depressing. Without some unexpected force altering the stream's pattern, it looks set to continue for a while yet.
The big unknown is why this current pattern is so static. The high-altitude winds that make up the stream are themselves still racing along but their path remains stuck in place so our battering continues.
This is one of the major puzzles for weather specialists and the science behind this is fairly young.
Dr Mike Blackburn of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading admits that the reasons for a static pattern of the flow remain unclear.
"We haven't discovered why the meanders get locked into position as they are now," he told me.
One attempt at an explanation involves so-called Rossby Waves, named after the Swedish meteorologist Carl-Gustav Rossby whose research was published back in 1939.
This is no comfort as the forecasts continue to be grim, but it is a measure of the complexity of the physics involved - how air moves in waves, why certain patterns form - that more than 60 years later scientists are still wrestling with the question of how the jet stream operates and what shapes it.
Dr Blackburn and his colleagues studied the pattern of the jet stream during the floods in June and July 2007 and found it to be similar in appearance to now.
So it seems that if it gets locked into the wrong position, with a pattern of large waves, heavy rain is the result.
On top of this, there is the related question of climate change. Most researchers are extremely reluctant to attribute any single weather event to global warming.
But Dr Peter Stott, a leading climate scientist at the UK Met Office, says that since the 1970s the amount of moisture in the atmosphere over the oceans has risen by 4%, a potentially important factor.
That does not sound like much but it does mean that extreme rain storms may bring more rain than before - with more moisture in the air, what goes up must come down, and the odds are worse.
"That could make the difference between a place getting flooded or not getting flooded," he said.
So there are no exact answers, just some important strands in the science and a lot more research still needed to understand exactly why our weather is so bad.
When I rang the BBC Weather Centre this morning and said I wanted to talk about the rain, a colleague answered with a single word, as if the constant storms were her fault: "sorry."
Ben, from Sheffield, was 21 months old when he disappeared on 24 July 1991.
The items of are "low importance", Det Insp Jon Cousins, of South Yorkshire Police said.
They are investigating claims Ben may have been accidentally run over by a digger driver 25 years ago.
Police have extended their stay to search a second site, 750m from where Ben was last seen and close to the farmhouse where the dig started last month.
Det Insp Jon Cousins said: "There are over 60 items that need looking at and I'll engage with the magistrates here in Kos, to explain the significance of them.
"They are items I want to compare to other things, either information or items that were recovered throughout the past 18 months or in 2012."
Detectives are now focusing their efforts on the second site, where compacted material deposited over the last 30 years is being broken up before the soil is dug to a depth of about two feet.
Mr Cousins said on Saturday the team would remain on site for "at least two or three days".
Ben vanished from a farmhouse, which his grandfather was renovating, in the village of Iraklis.
Officers are working on the theory that Konstantinos Barkas, who died of cancer in 2015, might be responsible for Ben's death.
Maybe you'd decline the help of the talented amateur.
Let's face it, there isn't much of a history of successful brain surgery by non-medics.
But what if you were in the different but also desperate situation of trying to get a judge to allow you contact with your children, or attempting to get a court to agree to them living with you, following the breakdown of a relationship?
Would you be happy to use the services of someone with no legal qualifications, no insurance and who was not part of a regulated body? Well, here the talented amateur has something of a track record.
He or she also has a title - they are your McKenzie friend.
In 1970, Levine McKenzie was getting divorced and wanted Australian barrister Ian Hanger, who wasn't qualified to practise here, to sit next to him in court, prompt, take notes and suggest questions in cross-examination.
The judge ordered Hanger to sit in the public gallery and advise McKenzie only during adjournments. McKenzie lost and appealed.
The Court of Appeal ruled that he had been denied help he was entitled to and ordered a retrial. The McKenzie friend was born.
For decades they were largely relatives, family friends, law students or charities helping out free.
Such McKenzie friends still operate, but in April 2013 the market in fee-charging McKenzie friends got a turbo boost from the government.
It cut legal aid from a range of areas of civil law, including most family cases involving divorce, child contact and residence, as well as debt, housing, immigration, welfare and employment.
That left many with a stark choice. Go to court on your own or, if you can't afford a lawyer, phone a McKenzie friend.
Without much fanfare, McKenzie friends charging between £16 and £90 an hour have become an important part of the civil justice landscape.
Although their role is supposed to be limited, they are increasingly mirroring the end-to-end service traditionally supplied by qualified lawyers.
They are not allowed to conduct litigation, but there seems little to stop them advising and drafting documents in a way that amounts to the same thing.
And while they do not have rights of audience in court, many told me that if they ask to address the court and their client wants it, the judge generally agrees.
McKenzie friends
This April, in the first major report on fee-charging McKenzie friends, the Legal Services Consumer Panel summed up the divergence of views on them.
"One school of thought is that they improve access to justice by providing valuable support for litigants in person.
"Another view worries that such McKenzie friends may provide poor advice that harms their client and third parties, offer little in the way of consumer protection, prey on the vulnerable and exploit litigants as parrots to promote personal causes."
But who are they, this group of friends?
Some are professionals with experience of the justice system, such as former social workers or police officers.
Others have come to it through experience.
On a Monday night in a dingy function room with a broken door, at the rear of a vast pub in the City of London, I watch six men, all fathers, file into a meeting organised by Families Need Fathers, a registered UK charity that provides support to parents, mainly dads, who've divorced and are seeking contact with their children.
In the bar outside, City types slake their thirst. In the room, the men seek a different kind of solace and support from two McKenzie friends.
Both are veterans of titanic family cases of their own, qualified in the court of hard knocks.
They take details of cases, advise and share their knowledge of court forms, applications, judges and tactics.
It feels like triage, military doctors tending to the scarred and wounded of the family justice battlefield.
Their "clients" are generally grateful and full of praise for the help they receive.
Tom, a chef on low pay, told me that his wife made allegations of violence against him, before leaving the family home with his daughter.
The police released him without charge, but while his wife got legal aid, he didn't and used what money he had for a McKenzie friend.
Without his help, Tom believes he would not have seen his daughter again.
In the largely "post legal aid" civil courts, judges seem to regard McKenzies as their friends too.
Speaking frankly to me, some have confessed that is because something in the way of legal representation is better than nothing.
But they also acknowledge that, in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of family disputes, McKenzies do help litigants separate emotion from fact and can really help focus on the issues and progress cases.
It's entirely unrepresentative, but when I put a request on the BBC website for people to write in with their experience of McKenzie friends, those moved to respond were mainly positive.
Family lawyers had led me to believe that while some McKenzies were competent, many were more often agenda-driven, aggressive and dangerous by reason of lack of knowledge.
However, when pressed, few were able to give hard details.
There are clearly some rogues working as McKenzies and some worrying stories.
Privacy and data protection are issues. Clients' personal details have been put on social media or disclosed inadvertently through client testimonials.
I have been told of aggressive and intimidating behaviour by McKenzies.
And McKenzies themselves voiced concern that some of their number push their own agendas at the expense of the client's interests.
Recently retired High Court family judge Sir Mark Hedley generally welcomes the involvement of McKenzies, but told me: "Some have a deep animus against the family court and they're not anxious to conceal it.
"They can interrupt repeatedly and it really does the person they represent no good at all. It depends on the ability of the judge to control it."
There are good and bad McKenzies, just as there are good and bad solicitors and barristers.
The difference is that the client has remedies against the latter through professional bodies, regulators and ombudsmen.
The Legal Services Consumer Panel Report concludes that fee-charging McKenzie friends should be viewed as a source of potentially valuable support that improves access to justice and contributes to more just outcomes.
Though lawyers may find this extraordinary, it doesn't favour regulation, because the cost and administrative burden could drive McKenzies from the market or put their prices out of reach of consumers who use them for affordability.
Some, especially in the legal world, would say those are expedient conclusions driven by the near decimation of legal aid in civil cases.
But perhaps they haven't found themselves in the new world of litigation, with a broken family, little money and in need of a "friend".
Canada-based businessman Rich Donovan worked as a trader for Merrill Lynch for 10 years after he graduated from the prestigious Columbia Business School. It was competitive enough, but with cerebral palsy he felt he had more to prove.
"I was told to my face that I would never be a trader. They were wrong, but that's just the reality of having a disability. You figure out how to work around it."
He says he was asked at every job interview, "Can you physically do this job?" His answer was always the same: "I don't know, but we're going to find out."
Donovan was offered every job he went for and says there was "never a time that I hit a barrier, largely because I was 10 steps ahead of what I needed to be".
It is this attitude that has led him to identify a market worth $8 trillion (£6.4tn) and brimming with untapped talent: the disability market.
After he left the trading floor, Donovan set up the Return on Disability Group (ROD). The firm helps companies improve their products, customer experience and recruitment for disabled clients, as well as alerting investors to companies that target that market. Its slogan is "translate different into value".
He estimates the market comprises about 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide, plus an additional 2.42 billion people once their friends and family are taken into account, which Donovan describes as "huge".
It seems hard to believe that such a market could be overlooked, but he says it has largely gone unseen because people look at it from the wrong angle.
The key, he says, is not to consider disability a niche market, but as an "emerging market" - and to challenge the conventional because "companies and governments have no clue how to convert that size into value".
Donovan says traditional government schemes to get more disabled people into work or bespoke products made for disabled people fail to properly utilise the market.
For that, you need to think beyond lunches and motivational talks and remember business is always about money.
"Most companies think they need to be perfectly ready to provide an 'accessible' space for disabled workers. The reality is disabled people know what they need to be successful. Companies only need to listen and adjust to those needs," he says.
"Quotas and equity laws do not cause hiring, it's the promise of future profits that does. Companies, by their very nature, act in their shareholders' best interests, doing what will grow revenue in the fastest way possible."
Therefore, Donovan says, companies should "attack the market" as they would any other.
"Find out the desires of disabled consumers as they relate to your profitable enterprise, adjust your product and messaging to attract their business then execute this in line with your company's process and culture."
Donovan believes mistakes are often made when companies try to "disable" their business or do just enough to comply with regulations.
Listen to Business Daily on the BBC World Service to hear about the daily drama of money and work from the BBC with a special programme for the Disability Works season.
"Disabled people don't want 'special' products," he says. "But they are hungry to be included in the mainstream consumer experience.
"Most companies today look at this as a government regulatory mandate; they're not looking at this as a profitability opportunity, they're not looking at this as an innovation opportunity to improve products for users.
"They're looking at this as a charity effort," he says.
Donovan believes the key to cracking this market is to flip the disabled consumer experience to ultimately benefit the mainstream audience.
"We've learnt that people with disabilities use things very harshly, they use them in extreme ways, and if you can learn how they use things and use that information it makes that core product better for everyone. That way the returns really take off."
The former trader says there is one company that already does this: Google.
"The core of what they do is innovation and in most of their products there is some disability component. It's at the very core of what they do.
"Look at the Google [self-driving] car - you can imagine the head engineer walking into his team and saying 'OK, build me a car that a blind guy can drive' and that's exactly what they did.
"They're very focused on leveraging disability to make the core product experience better for everyone."
Donovan says the disability market has only really existed within the past decade continues to develop.
"They're still grappling with what that looks like and that process historically takes a few years," he says. "You look back at women and race and it takes a little bit of time to adjust to that reality and disability has just started to do that."
But it is not just the disability market that Donovan's company has been tasked with growing.
His clients have also asked him to apply the same ideas to sexuality and poverty.
Donovan's ambition is to move away from government regulations and to help companies serve non-traditional markets with the aim of ultimately increasing profitability - a process he describes as "figuring out how to 'eat that elephant'".

Hayley Batley, of St Giles Primary, was given a conditional discharge in November 2014 after admitting selling and offering trademarked goods.
An Education Workforce Council at Ewloe, Flintshire, heard she did not realise what she was doing was wrong.
The reprimand will remain on her record for two years.
The panel heard on Thursday how Batley was warned by the BBC in June 2013 that she was breaching trademark laws by making and selling her own Doctor Who items.
She asked the corporation for clarification, but before it responded, she relisted the items for sale.
Further investigations found she was offering more than 1,600 trademarked items for sale, including goods connected to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and James Bond.
Setting out the case, Rhiannon Dale told the education panel that Ms Batley told trading standards officers she would not have sold the items if she knew it was wrong.
She told them: "I'm a teacher. Teachers don't do this. You're not supposed to get bloody arrested."
Ms Batley was given a 12-month sentence at Caernarfon Crown Court in November 2014 after pleading guilty to selling and offering trademarked goods.
She was given a final written warning at a disciplinary hearing at her school following her conviction as it was felt her actions were prejudicial to the school's name.
John Till, representing Ms Batley, said: "She really didn't think she was doing anything wrong."
He said her comments to trading standards officers showed her "spontaneous reaction" and "her instinctive appreciation of what should be expected of a teacher".
Hearing chairman Steve Powell said Ms Batley's conduct was "serious and unacceptable and must not happen again".
Scientists believe this is the best time to be using drugs to stop Alzheimer's from developing further.
Finding a treatment that can combat the disease has been one of medicine's major challenges. Results from drug trials have repeatedly been disappointing.
This new study will involve up to 50 tests on 250 volunteers and will include brain scans, cognitive testing and measure the way people walk.
The difficulty that doctors face is that the disease can start to affect the brain several years before the symptoms are visible.
Patricia Latto, who is in her nineties, has Alzheimer's. Evidence from her diary suggests the disease had begun to take hold more than a decade before being recognised.
Patricia Latto was clearly upset and concerned about her mental deterioration in her mid-60s and kept a diary.
"I am writing this because I'm afraid I have Alzheimer's…" the diary entry begins, dated 12 May 1990.
"And now I have slipped into a no-man's land - no, a limbo, of not remembering and what has shocked me most - not being able to write clearly."
She seemed to be using the diary as a memory test. It is full of lengthy passages of poetry and Shakespeare.
"Tonight I have quoted Yeats, Masefield, Shakespeare word for word without hesitation… So why do I find it so difficult to sign my own name. It just doesn't make sense."
In one diary entry she writes: "My mind is full of holes."
Twenty years later Patricia was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
The diary was discovered by Patricia's daughter Cate Latto, when she was clearing out her mother's things after she was moved into a care home for specialist support.
"It must have been so frightening for her," says Cate, "To have her world shrinking, and being too scared to even talk about it."
Cate is now taking part in separate research by the Alzheimer's Society, called Prevent Dementia Study, which involves people with some risk factors for the disease, such as a family history or certain genes.
Patricia Latto's experience illustrates one of the key challenges of dealing with Alzheimer's disease. By the time it is clinically diagnosed, it can be too late to do anything about it, because by then the damage caused to the brain is irreversible.
The Deep and Frequent Phenotyping Study, involving eight UK universities and the Alzheimer's Society, and led by Prof Simon Lovestone at the University of Oxford, will aim to find the very earliest signs of Alzheimer's, between 10 and 20 years before the symptoms become more obvious.
The Deep and Frequent Phenotyping Study includes regular brain scans, cognitive and memory testing, retinal imaging, blood tests and the use of wearable technology to measure movement and gait.
Prof Lynn Rochester, from the Clinical Ageing Research Unit at Newcastle University, says tiny, almost imperceptible changes in the way people walk could be a very early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
"People think of walking as a task which involves muscles contracting and relaxing and you get from A to B," she says.
"But in fact walking is now considered as much a cognitive task as it is a motor task and we've got a really large body of research that shows that."
The researchers are using small devices, fitted to the small of the back, to measure movement over a period of a week. Small changes to the pattern of walking can be indicative of deeper problems in the brain, eventually leading to dementia. Scientists would be looking for variations in walking which could involve changes in speed, balance and unusual movements not explained by normal ageing.
"If you think about your footsteps in the sand, and how even and well placed they are. We're looking at very, very subtle changes in how those footsteps might appear," Prof Rochester explains.
The study, described by the researchers as potentially game changing, will monitor and measure small changes on the 250 volunteers over a period of a year. Some of those involved will be at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease because of their genes or age, and others will not be at risk.
The research will generate huge amounts of data and will use complex big-data mathematical analysis to determine which tests, or combination of tests, best predict later onset of Alzheimer's.
"We're going to be throwing the book at people, using all the things that we can measure," says Clare Mackay, Professor of Imaging Neuroscience at the University of Oxford.
"Pretty much everything we know might be sensitive, we're going to do them all in the one study, which has never been done before."
Andrew Bomford's reports on the new Alzheimer's study will be broadcast on Radio 4's World at One on 26 and 27 June 2017.

Mr Sharif, who was ousted in a 1999 coup, was later in the day sworn in for an unprecedented third term as PM.
He faces numerous challenges, including Taliban attacks and a crippled economy.
In his speech to parliament after 244 MPs approved him in the 342-seat chamber, Mr Sharif also pledged to tackle corruption and reduce unemployment and power cuts.
By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad
In his maiden speech to parliament, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chose his words and subjects carefully.
He did restate his election promise to stop US drone strikes in Pakistan, but made it clear that Pakistan needed to address the concerns that led to them.
Mr Sharif skipped any mention of his oft-repeated plan to hold talks with Taliban militants, or the normalisation of relations with India.
The prime minister is treading a fine line. The army has been shaping policies about militancy and India, and Mr Sharif feels he will need wider support across the political spectrum to handle these problems.
He must also deal with severe electricity shortages, a sinking economy and rampant corruption.
Such major challenges prompted Mr Sharif to make a strong appeal to all political groups and "other stake-holders" - which many assume means the military - to sit together and hammer out a joint strategy to resolve them.
He told MPs that it was necessary to work out a joint strategy to stop drone strikes.
"We must learn others' [American] concerns about us, and express our concerns about them, and find a way to resolve this issue," he said.
"These drone strikes that rain in every day have to stop."
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan - who was in parliament to hear Mr Sharif speak - says that the underlying message was that US concerns about militancy need to be addressed.
But the prime minister gave few details on how he might bring about an end to drone strikes, which many in Pakistan see an affront to Pakistani sovereignty. Washington regards the drone attacks as a vital weapon against militants fighting US-led forces in Afghanistan.
Mr Sharif also appealed for unity, while stressing that improving the economy will be his top priority.
But to do that he may need a bailout from the International Monetary Fund.
Our correspondent says Mr Sharif's desire to rejuvenate the economy and improve security are both areas that require some speedy but difficult decision-making in a geo-strategic environment which is shaped and controlled by the military.
While the new prime minister favours talks with the Pakistani Taliban, many expect that now he is in power he will accept the army's view that all past negotiations have failed and the only option is to fight the jihadis who attack domestic targets.

Why Pakistan voted for Sharif
He becomes prime minister at a critical time in the battle against the Taliban - as Nato forces begin the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan.
Infrastructure projects are another important priority for the new leader - he wants to stop power cuts and construct a bullet train between Karachi and Peshawar.
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by members of parliament, foreign diplomats and dignitaries, senior members of the judiciary and chiefs of the armed forces at the presidential palace.
Although other candidates from the Pakistan People's Party and from Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party stood against him, Mr Sharif's nomination was a formality because of his party's commanding position in parliament.
With the support of some independent MPs, the PML-N has an outright majority and has not needed to form a coalition.
President Asif Ali Zardari - his old political rival - administered the oath to him.
PML-N sources are reported in the Pakistan media as saying that the new prime minister wants to compose a cabinet of fewer than 24 ministers but at the same time is under pressure to have representatives from all the country's provinces within it.
Correspondents say that Mr Sharif's task is all the more complicated because most PML-N members come from Punjab, the country's most populous province. | "Robo-investing" - using computer algorithms rather than humans to manage your investments - is a white-hot sector attracting lots of start-up cash.

Aiba said that, after 239 bouts in Rio, "less than a handful of the decisions were not at the level expected".
The body has admitted it is in a "transition process", but said results of bouts already contested will stand.
The reaction to Irish fighter Michael Conlan's controversial defeat prompted action from Aiba.
Conlan lost by unanimous decision to Russia's Vladimir Nikitin when many observers felt he had won comfortably.
"We have a lot of educating to do and a lot of evaluating to do," Aiba official Tom Virgets told the BBC.
"Along the way we have to sharpen the blade with our officials, with more training, more evaluation."
The federation has since confirmed: "The concerned referees and judges will no longer officiate at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games."
Injured Nikitin has since pulled out of his semi-final bout, citing injury, but nonetheless will return to Russia with a bronze medal.
Aiba, which governs amateur boxing, has changed several rules for the Rio Games - allowing professionals to compete, removing the headguard, scrapping the appeals process and changing the scoring system.
Five officials judge each bout and a computer randomly selects three whose scores are counted.
Traditionally, judges would use a computer scoring system to count each punch.
But now the winner of each round is awarded 10 points and the loser a lower number, based on a criteria which includes the quality of punches landed, effective aggression and tactical superiority.
"We're getting better but Rome ain't built in a day and we're going to continue to raise that bar of excellence," insisted Virgets, a member of Aiba's executive board and chairman of its disciplinary committee.
Asked about the judges in Rio, Virgets said: "We're changing them from being robots who press the button to being analysts of the bout."

There was also controversy when Russian world champion Evgeny Tishchenko was awarded all three rounds in his favour against Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit in the men's heavyweight final, despite a cut to his head and spending much of the bout on the back foot.
Tishchenko was booed by the crowd after being given the unanimous points decision.
Irish official Michael Gallagher was one of the judges in the heavyweight final.
An enraged Conlan said after his defeat: "I came for gold and I've been cheated. I'll not do another Olympics. I would advise anybody not to compete for Aiba."
Virgets said of his reaction: "I can understand that frustration is heightened when there is a significant amount of media who also believe that he should have won.
"We will continue to evaluate to where the media is educated, the coaches are educated as to the criteria better and the officials are constantly getting better so that hopefully we will come to an Olympics in the future and 100% of the bouts will be accepted by coaches, media, athletes and officials."
Conlan's defeat prompted a five-year-old boy from Dublin to offer him his school medal as a consolation "because you are a winner".

Surrey Police re-investigated the army's original conclusion that Pte James, 18 from Llangollen in Denbighshire killed herself in 2002.
A potential suspect in her death was prompted by police to agree with a suicide theory, her inquest is told.
Ex-Det Ch Supt Craig Denholm denied the claims.
Lawyers for the James family said Surrey Police had "closed down" theories other than suicide, the hearing at Woking Coroner's Court was told.
Mr Denholm said his colleagues were "well briefed", "thorough" and did "a good job".
He said he had "badly expressed himself" in a meeting in which the minutes stated he had said the "spotlight" should be turned away from the role the army may have played in Pte James's death.
The court also heard another officer involved in the investigation resigned "before he could be sacked" after allegations he had inappropriately "chatted up" witnesses.
Alison Foster representing the James family, said a fellow soldier "should have been considered a suspect" because he was the "humiliated boyfriend of the deceased".
Reading out a transcript of an interview the police officer conducted with the soldier in 2002 Ms Foster said: "It's quite feasible she shot herself. I don't think all the conspiracy theories really count.
"I think she perhaps struggled with letting people down.
"It's only a theory, do you think it's possible?"
The soldier replied "Yeah, but I've been through it a few times and there was just nothing. I couldn't think of a reason."
The officer continued: "I can only say from experience with a friend of mine you never know what's coming."
Ms Foster put it to Mr Denholm: "He is a person who ought to have been treated as a suspect.
"It is quite wrong to answer him by anecdote with reference to suicide."
Mr Denholm replied: "The only way I feel I can give justice to your answer is to fully understand the context of the interview."
He later denied "briefing" journalists away from a murder theory.
"The way the media had reported the deaths at Deepcut was wrong - people lived in Deepcut and soldiers still served there. It was portrayed that there was a murderer loose," he told the inquest.
He said the investigation into Pte James's death was "well run".
There were things that weren't absolutely perfect but I completely hold firm on the belief that the people involved in this investigation were well briefed and thorough."
He said Surrey Police were under "immense pressure" at the time because of the investigation into the death of Milly Dowler and attacks by the serial rapist Antoni Imiela around the M25.
"I was taking officers off a the case of a serial rapist and one of the most high profile murders in the country. There was not a resource issue."
Pte James was one of four recruits to die from bullet wounds at the army base between 1995 and 2002.
An initial inquest into Pte James's death in 1995 recorded an open verdict but that was overturned by the High Court, which ordered the new hearing.
The inquest continues.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
Well for 9-year-old George that dream came true when he was allowed on to the pitch at Everton and slotted home a cheeky goal.
He dropped into the Newsround HQ to tell us all about his experience.
George has cerebral palsy, a condition which affects how your muscles work.
Now he's beaten his idols to take the prize for the best goal of the month.
George himself became the fan's favourite when Everton supporters voted his goal as the best.
Check out his award winning goal.
The results come from 150,000 UK adults aged 40 or older who agreed to be measured and weighed and fill in a survey about their typical journey to and from work.
Cycling came out as the best activity for staying trim, followed by walking.
But even those who used public transport were leaner than car users.
The authors of the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology study say the findings show even a little physical activity is better than nothing at all.
They reached their conclusions by comparing the bodyweights and lifestyles of the 72,999 men and 83,667 women in their study.
Even when they factored in differences such as leisure-time, exercise, diet and occupation, the trend between commute method and bodyweight remained.
And for both cycling and walking, greater travelling distances were associated with greater reductions in percentage body fat.
By their calculations, an "average" height man would weigh around 5kg (11lbs) less if he were to cycle rather than drive to work each day.
Likewise, the average height woman would weigh 4.4kg (9.7lbs) less.
iWonder: What's the easy way to get healthier?
In the study, 64% of men and 61% of women commuted by car, while 4% of men and 2% of women reported cycling or doing a mix of cycling and walking.
In England and Wales, 23.7 million people regularly commute to work and around two-thirds do so by car, according to census data.
Study author Dr Ellen Flint, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "We know that physical activity can help prevent obesity - absolutely we do - and yet, two thirds of the UK population don't achieve weekly recommended levels of physical activity.
"This study shows basically that people who do manage to build some level of physical exertion into their commute, even if it's just walking to a bus stop or cycling a short distance, they tend to be less heavy and have less body fat than people who drive all the way to work."
She said it was important that policy makers and town planners make it easy for people to walk and cycle to work.
"It's a win, win really for public health and the environment," she said.
Justin Varney, deputy director of Health and Wellbeing at Public Health England, said: "Physical activity can play a role in maintaining a healthy weight, and helps to prevent or manage over 20 long-term conditions such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
"Walking and cycling are some of the easiest ways for people to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives and it is never too late to start."
Children across China have reported suffering nosebleeds, headaches and coughing after using the tracks.
On Tuesday, state broadcaster CCTV released a rare undercover report revealing the use of industrial waste in their manufacture.
The ministry said inspections would take place nationwide this summer.
Incidents of children falling sick after using the tracks have been reported in Jiangsu, Guangdong and other provinces, in at least 15 cities across China.
When children in Beijing began to experience problems, the authorities there ordered the inspection of all sports tracks and fields in the province.
In many cases, they revealed high levels of potentially poisonous chemicals in new synthetic running tracks, including formaldehyde.
At least one Beijing school has already begun tearing up its track.
But parents in Beijing protested against the safety standards last week, and complained that in many cases, the toxic tracks had not yet been removed.
The Chinese television investigation into several track manufacturers revealed the use of substandard waste, including discarded tyres, to reduce production costs.
Now the Ministry of Education has said environmental protection and quality watchdogs will inspect tracks across the country, and remove any that do not meet safety standards.
It said it was taking the problem "very seriously," and added that those responsible for the negligence would "face resolute and serious punishment with no mercy given".
It said construction of new tracks had been suspended, and oversight of officials involved in the process will be increased.
The duo clocked a cumulative one minute 56.76 seconds from their two runs at a rain-lashed Sanki Sliding Centre.
Pacesetters USA 1 are 1.87 seconds ahead of the Britons.
Canada 1, piloted by defending Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries, are 0.23 secs adrift in second with USA 2 0.56s back in third.
The medal placings will be decided after the third and fourth runs on Wednesday.
GB's Walker, who was 11th at Vancouver 2010 with brakeman Kelly Thomas, drove two consistent runs to clock 58.36s and 58.4s respectively. The pair's fastest start time on Tuesday was 5.35s.
"I made it clear that this track hasn't been in love with me in training but it clicked with me today," said Walker. "Maybe tomorrow it can get even better for us."
"The second run felt much better and an improvement from training," added Wilson. "We might see a bit of movement in the rankings tomorrow and a top-10 finish would be good."
USA 1 pilot Elana Meyers, the Vancouver bronze medallist, and team-mate Lauryn Williams set the fastest time of the night with their first run of 57.26s. They also recorded the best start time of 5.12 secs on their second run.
Walker and Wilson won the World Junior Championship in 2011, and after Wilson took a break from the sport, the pair were reunited ahead of the Sochi Games at the expense of former world champion Gillian Cooke.
Chancellor George Osborne changed the system in December to ensure taxes rose more gradually rather than jumping at each higher property price band.
Stamp duty will be the first tax to be entirely devolved in 2018 and could raise £230m in the first year.
It is levied on property sold for more than £125,000 but the Welsh Tories have pledged to double the limit.
Launching the consultation, Finance Minister Jane Hutt told AMs on Tuesday the Labour Welsh government wanted to make a land transaction tax "more effective, more efficient, and better suited to the priorities and needs of Wales".
In Scotland - where a property tax replaces stamp duty in April - the threshold will be raised to £145,000.
Consultation begins on Tuesday and is open for 12 weeks.
Another consultation - on landfill tax - will follow at the end of February.
The taxes are among the powers being devolved under the Wales Act, in response to the findings of the Silk Commission.
The problem Welsh government ministers have is that George Osborne took the wind out of their sails a few months ago when he smoothed out the steep rises in a major overhaul of stamp duty.
This was something they had always intended on doing themselves when it's devolved in 2018.
The question now is whether they introduce any further changes.
Small alterations risk the accusation that it's tinkering and change for change's sake.
The temptation for the parties in Wales ahead of the next assembly elections will be to go down the same route as Scotland and try to take many first time buyers out of paying it altogether.
Play was scheduled to start at 17:00 BST, but further showers prevented Kent from bowling first.

Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb boasts not one, but three performances by Peter Sellers as different characters including the title character.
In Kubrick's film we know very little about the mysterious, wheelchair-bound 'director of weapons research and development'.
But a newly-discovered work finally reveals just who this enigmatic scientist really was.
The 8,000-word story, Some Notes on the Character of Strangelove Including Strangelove's Theory, was discovered by David George as he was going through his family's archive.
His father, Peter, wrote the original novel on which the film was based.
Published in 1958, Two Hours to Doom (known as Red Alert in the United States) was a sober tale exploring the global threat of nuclear annihilation.
It caught the attention of Kubrick, who had just finished shooting Lolita, also starring Peter Sellers.
He wrote to George suggesting they turn the book into a movie.
"It was a three page, handwritten letter," recalls David George.
"It said: 'Hello, my name is Stanley Kubrick, you may have heard of me. I've directed some films like Spartacus and Paths of Glory'.
"I've come across your book and I'd like to make a film about this subject. Yours is the first one that really fits the bill and really comes near to what I'm after.
"It smacks of sincerity and the technical aspects of it all: the planes, the bombs, the tonnage'.
"And, of course, being Kubrick that was that. The project just started rolling very, very quickly."
By this time, Peter George was already a bestselling novelist, known for his spy thrillers and murder mysteries.
Born in Treorchy, Rhondda Cynon Taff, he had served as an RAF pilot and navigator during World War Two.
His military experience would later shape his career as an author, lending his work an unerring level of detail and precision about the mechanics of warfare.
Inevitably, this fed in to the film.
According to Sellers' biographer Adrian Rigelsford, the filmmakers' vision was often too close for comfort.
"They very much got into trouble with the military authorities because they got too much information right," he said.
"They had guesswork that was so accurate they had the Ministry of Defence land on them like a tonne of bricks.
"For example, the plane that Major Kong is flying, they had no real idea what one looked like, they just guessed and they got it 100% accurate."
During the early stages of adapting Two Hours To Doom for the screen, Kubrick and George opted for a shift in tone.
The starkness of the source material was replaced by black comedy. It was during this process that the character of Dr Strangelove was born.
Although George's novel contains elements that also appear in the film, such as the war room and the doomsday machine, the titular scientist does not feature at all.
In fact, it is easy to forget that the character of Dr Strangelove, as memorable as he is, enjoys relatively little screen time in the final cut of the movie.
His motives and history are unclear, a purposely cryptic and tenebrous presence.
However, it seems George had provided a whole back story for the character.
None of the details made their way into the shooting script, but it all helped to flesh out the role of Dr Strangelove and may have provided Sellers with the foundations on which to base his characterisation.
For 50 years, that story remained unseen and unpublished, but that is about to change.
Cardiff-based publishers Candy Jar Books will bring out George's 'new' Dr Strangelove tale later this year.
Shaun Russell from the company believes it is cause for excitement.
"No-one, anywhere in the world, has really seen this before," he said.
"It's essentially Dr Strangelove: The early years. It's how he became Dr Strangelove, and how he developed the theories you see in the film.
"He's a lecturer at university, unhappy with his life and very unhappy about his relationship with women.
"So this story has a woman coming into his life and throwing everything up in the air.
"Then, because of something that happens with the female characters, he sits down and thinks 'how can I plan the end of the world?'"
The story will be published alongside George's novelisation of the movie, which he wrote to accompany the film's release in 1964.
Many of his books have been out of print for years and his son hopes the discovery of a new Dr Strangelove tale will spark renewed interest in his father's work.
"My quest in life has been to put him back where he needs to be," David George said.
"So Dr Strangelove is the entry point and the jumping off point, to be able to give people these really rather good books to read."
Kubrick's film gained four Academy Award nominations, including one for Peter George as co-writer of the screenplay, along with the director and comic novelist Terry Southern.
George killed himself just two years after the film's release, for reasons that have never fully been understood.
The return of Dr Strangelove marks the first in a planned series of re-issues that will eventually see the entirety of the Welsh author's back catalogue in print for the first time in decades.
The 29-year-old's tap-in from Lee Frecklington's cross saw the visitors walk away with all three points in the South Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough.
Michael Turner thought he had brought the hosts level before half-time but was adjudged to be offside.
Goalkeeper Lee Camp pulled off a number of saves as the Millers held on.
After a poor first-half display, the home side bombarded Rotherham's goal for the second 45 but Camp was equal to the task.
The 31-year-old shot stopper denied Gary Hooper and Lucas Joao before stopping Ross Wallace's stinging free-kick with his feet.
As the Owls continued to search for a much-needed equaliser, following Cardiff's victory in the early kick-off, Wallace was unlucky to see his thumping strike cannon off the woodwork.
Sheffield Wednesday remain in the play-off places, level on points with Bluebirds, and just a point ahead of Birmingham and Ipswich - who both have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, a win for ex Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock with his new club saw Rotherham register their first consecutive victories since December but they remain three points adrift of safety.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal: "It was frustrating we didn't score of course. We expected to win the game, we prepared for the game to win and it's a game that was a little strange for us.
"For the goal we had ruled out in the first half, to me it is not offside. There was one defender in line with him (Michael Turner) and that is why the referee gave it as a goal and the assistants didn't give offside at first.
"But I don't want to talk too much about referees. I love football and I just want to talk about football."
Rotherham manager Neil Warnock: "You don't overcome your rivals every week, so it is special, because they aren't a bad side. That makes it better for me.
"I thought we got it spot on tactically today, too. Other than the one they hit the bar with, I can't remember anything too clear-cut for Camp to deal with.
"I thought we restricted their play and it will probably be their most difficult game for the rest of the season.
That military aide will be carrying a satchel over his or her shoulder containing a briefcase known as "the nuclear football". Inside will be a piece of digital hardware measuring 3in (7.3cm) by 5in, known as "the biscuit".
This contains the launch codes for a strategic nuclear strike. The briefing for the incoming president on how to activate them will have already taken place out of public sight, but the moment President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office that aide, and the satchel, will move quietly over to his side.
Donald Trump will then have sole authority to order an action that could result in the deaths of millions of people in under an hour. The question on a lot of people's minds right now is, given his thin skin and impulsive temperament, what are the safeguards, if any, to prevent an impetuous decision by one man with catastrophic consequences?
First off, it should be said that Donald Trump has rowed back on some of his earlier, provocative comments on the use of nuclear weapons. He has recently stated he would be "the last person to use them", although he has not ruled it out.
Other senior figures are also involved in the chain of command, such as the incoming US Secretary of Defence, retired US Marine Gen James Mattis, But Mark Fitzpatrick, a nuclear non-proliferation expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, says that ultimately, the sole authority to launch a strike rests with the president.
"There are no checks and balances on the president's authority to launch a nuclear strike," he says. "But between the time he authorises one and the time it's carried out there are other people involved."
The idea of a rogue president taking such a monumental decision on his own is unrealistic. He gives the order and the secretary of defence is constitutionally obliged to carry it out.
The secretary of defence could, in theory, refuse to obey the order if he had reason to doubt the president's sanity, but this would constitute mutiny and the president can then fire him and assign the task to the deputy secretary of defence.
Under the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution a vice-president could, in theory, declare the president mentally incapable of taking a proper decision, but he would need to be backed by a majority of the cabinet.
So how would it work in practice?
Inside that briefcase, the "nuclear football" that never leaves the president's side, is a "black book" of strike options for him to choose from once he has authenticated his identity as commander-in-chief, using a plastic card.
Washington folklore has it that a previous president temporarily mislaid his identification card when he left it inside a jacket that was sent to the dry cleaners.
Once the president has selected his strike options from a long-prepared "menu", the order is passed via the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Pentagon's war room and then, using sealed authentication codes, on to US Strategic Command HQ in Offutt Airbase in Nebraska.
The order to fire is transmitted to the actual launch crews using encrypted codes that have to match the codes locked inside their safes.
The US and Russia both possess enough nuclear missiles to destroy each other's cities several times over - there are reported to be 100 US nuclear warheads aimed at Moscow alone. The two countries' arsenals account for more than 90% of the world's total number of nuclear warheads.
As of September 2016 Russia had the most, with an estimated 1796 strategic nuclear warheads, deployed on a mixed platform of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and strategic bombers.
Under a programme ordered by President Vladimir Putin, Moscow has recently invested billions of roubles in upgrading its strategic nuclear missile force, keeping an arsenal of constantly mobile ballistic missiles travelling through tunnels deep beneath the forests of Siberia.
America had, in September 2016, 1,367 strategic nuclear warheads, similarly deployed in land-based underground missile silos, which by their static nature are vulnerable to a first strike, at sea onboard submarines, where they are harder to detect, and at airbases, where they can be loaded on to bombers.
The UK has about 120 strategic warheads, of which only a third are deployed at sea. The Royal Navy always keeps a portion of the nation's Trident nuclear force somewhere in the world's oceans, maintaining what is known as the continuous at sea deterrent.
ICBMs travel at a speed of over 17,000mph (Mach 23), flying high above the Earth's atmosphere before descending towards their pre-programmed targets at four miles a second.
The flight-time for land-based missiles flying between Russia and the US is between 25 and 30 minutes. For submarine-based missiles, where the boats may be able to approach a coast covertly, the flight time could be considerably shorter, even as little as 12 minutes.
This does not leave a president much time to decide whether it is a false alarm or imminent Armageddon. Once ICBMs have been launched they cannot be recalled, but if they remain in their silos they will probably be destroyed by the inbound attack.
A former senior White House official told me recently that much would depend on the circumstances in which a nuclear strike was being considered.
If this was a long-term, measured policy decision to say, carry out a pre-emptive strike on country X, then a lot of people would be involved. The vice-president, National Security Adviser, and much of the cabinet would all be likely to be included in the decision-making process.
But if there was an imminent strategic threat to the United States, ie if an inbound launch of ICBMs from a hostile state had been detected and were minutes from reaching the US then, he said, "the president has extraordinary latitude to take the sole decision to launch."
A snapshot of the region's brewing industry by beer writer Pete Brown found Sheffield has 23 breweries.
"A significant brewing city" with one brewery per 24,000 residents, it has almost five times more breweries per capita than greater London, it said.
But here's the thing - Sheffield's beery brilliance has been a hidden gem with local drinkers for years.
Kate Major, chairman of the city's branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and landlady of The Three Tuns, said a glut of very knowledgeable beer drinkers helped explain why Sheffield had so many breweries.
"The report is very exciting but it is nothing we didn't know already in Sheffield," she said.
"Many of our breweries are tiny and we like the beer they produce too much to let a lot of it out."
The report, commissioned by the University of Sheffield, finds almost nine out of 10 of the city's brewers could be described as "microbreweries" - those that brew less beer than the threshold for beer duty.
They also focus on their core territory, keeping three quarters of production in the city.
It also claimed what makes the city's beer scene special is it produces 400 different beers, many of which are hard to find anywhere else.
But the city's brewing history goes back as far as 1758 when its first brewery was founded.
Over the next 100 years 30 brewers sprung up, making the steel city something of a brewing centre. But by World War One there were only around 16 breweries left and the number continued to decline for decades after.
Then, in the 1980s, something stirred: a brewing movement which made Sheffield a precursor to the more recent national explosion in "craft beer".
Dave Wickett was a polytechnic lecturer and real ale enthusiast who bought a run-down pub in a derelict area of Sheffield in 1981 and called it the Fat Cat.
His bar stocked lots of interesting beers and starting a brewery helped get the city's beer ball rolling, Ms Major said. He died in 2012.
"The general trend for Sheffield's new beer all started with the Fat Cat and the Kelham Island area" she added.
Sheffield University professor Vanessa Toulmin said beer and pubs are the "cultural glue that holds the city together".
"Sheffield has always been a city of makers and it's no surprise that this extends to beer too," she observed.
Eventhough the report concedes London, Manchester and Leeds are better known as exciting beer destinations, it could be the cat is out the bag when it comes to Sheffield's success as a centre of beer excellence.
Ms Major has the final say: "We have room in Sheffield for a lot more people to come and drink our beer and as a city we need to be telling everybody".
Police were called to East Lancashire Road in Salford shortly after 18:10 BST to reports of a pedestrian being struck by a bus.
Officers found a woman believed to be in her 70s with very serious injuries. She was taken to hospital where she died at about 19:40.
Police, who are appealing for witnesses, said officers were providing the woman's family with support.
Kerryanne Clarke, 38, pled guilty to transferring the money from Elmwood Construction Services Ltd into her own accounts between 2010 and 2014.
As a result, a number of employees were made redundant from the Glasgow firm, most of which were at Christmas 2014.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Clarke was remanded in custody and sentencing was deferred until next month.
The court heard how she made "duplicate" payments as a bookkeeper at the property development company based at Eagle Street.
Instead of paying the intended recipient twice, she transferred cash to her own accounts.
Clarke made more than 360 transactions between September 2010 and July 2014, paying £372,163 into four different personal accounts.
She handed in her resignation letter in June 2014, and after she left discrepancies were found within the company accounts.
Defence lawyer Ryan Sloan said the company had since gone into liquidation, and he was asked to provide further details about this.
He told the court Clarke had two young children and a drug problem.
Bristol Channel pilot cutters, all built between 1904 and 1909, will be taking part in a regatta off Mumbles on Saturday and Sunday.
They include the 56ft (18m) Olga, which is owned by Swansea council and has undergone refurbishments above and below deck thanks to lottery funding.
The other pilot cutters taking part are Alpha, Dolphin, Mascotte and Peggy.
They will be leaving their moorings at Swansea marina at about 08:00 BST on both days, with the races starting at 09:30.
Built for speed, the vessels were used to take pilots out into the Bristol Channel to intercept sailing barques and then guide them back to their home ports.
Frances Jenkins, from Swansea council, said the city has a rich maritime heritage and the races were a "fantastic spectacle" and a "great opportunity to be transported back to yesteryear".
The event is part of this summer's Enjoy Swansea programme.

Mum Claire was desperate to be at her daughter's career-defining moment but needed a little help from friends - and a crowd-funding page.
"My mum is a single mum and, ever since I was young, we've been putting everything into my swimming," the British 200m breaststroke record-holder said.
"Coming into Rio, the expenses are really expensive so me and my mum have been setting up meetings so I can have my photo taken with people, signing autographs.
"It's really sweet because the little kids love it. It's completely out of my comfort zone but I need to get used to it.
"We've been baking cakes and selling cakes and all sorts. I'm so grateful for everyone who's helped my mum. It means a lot to me, I'm glad she'll be there."
The 20-year-old's mum was able to successfully raise the amount required - £3,714 to be exact - and join her daughter in Brazil as the world number five will mix it with the best.
Tutton, who starts her campaign in Rio with the 200m breaststroke heats on 10 August, is the new kid on the block in British swimming.
She shot to prominence in April as she won gold in the British Championship to secure her Olympic qualification.
A month later, the Ystrad Rhondda swimmer helped Great Britain win 4x100m medley relay gold at the European Championships, having claimed an individual bronze in the 100m breaststroke.
Having turned 20 in July, Tutton travels to Rio with Olympic silver medallist Sharron Davies among those excited by her potential.
Tutton's selection caps a rapid rise from relative obscurity at the start of 2016.
However, she was earmarked for stardom early having developed a passion for swimming as a child and being pinpointed by renowned Cardiff swimming club coach Dave Haller, who coached David Wilkie and Duncan Goodhew to Olympic titles.
Find out how to get into swimming with our special guide.
"I started swimming when I was about three," she recalled. "On holiday I used to love getting in the water so my mum took me to Ystrad Swimming Pool for some lessons.
"At the age of 12, Dave Haller asked me to join Cardiff and, from there, my swimming just took off. It started off as a hobby and then it turned into more of a career."
Tutton is one of 24 Welsh athletes at the Olympics and joins fellow Welsh swimmers Jazz Carlin, the European and Commonwealth champion, Georgia Davies and Ieuan Lloyd in Rio.
"It's a complete dream for me. I'm on cloud nine right now and enjoying every moment," Tutton added.
"I love that there are four of us from the Welsh team on the British team. We'll be doing our country proud."

Speaking at a rally in Florida, Mr Trump said the campaign was "doing really well".
US media outlets said it was in turmoil after Mr Trump repeatedly attacked parents of a fallen US soldier.
Staffers told CNN that they "feel like they are wasting their time".
"I just want to tell you the campaign is doing really well," the nominee said in Daytona Beach.
"It's never been so well united... I would say right now it's the best in terms of being united that it's been since we began."
Earlier Mr Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort blamed reports of disunity on Mr Trump's opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"This is another Clinton narrative that she put out there and the media is picking up on," he said. "Mr Trump has appeared this week at crowds that are overflowing into the street."
The Donald Trump rollercoaster is picking up speed.
Thanks to a week with enough controversies for an entire election season, Republicans are flooding the media with reports of campaign chaos and an impending mass defection from their nominee if things don't turn around quickly.
Behind all these stories of political discord, however, is the simple fact that while insider establishment operatives may be looking for the exits, Republican officeholders who must eventually answer to the 13 million Trump primary voters have yet to break ranks.
Things will have to get very bad - much worse than they are now - to result in the sort of doomsday scenarios currently being pondered.
It is a simple political calculus. The key, as always, is in the polls and public sentiment.
If Mr Trump appears to have a reasonable chance to win in November, he will persevere, as he has all year.
If his poll numbers crash, and Republican politicians start worrying more about losing their own races in November than alienating their party's base, the Trump-coaster could careen off the rails at last.
Going against Mr Trump is still a risky bet. And when it comes to preserving their jobs, politicians are all about minimising risk.

The New York billionaire has been sharply criticised for his attacks on the bereaved parents of a US Muslim soldier killed in Iraq.
His ongoing war of words with Khizr and Ghazala Khan - the parents of Capt Humayun Khan - has intensified rifts within the Republican Party.
NBC News reported that senior Republicans plan to stage an "intervention" to get the campaign back on message, stressing issues such as jobs and trade deals.
The effort will be led, according to NBC, by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Trump allies former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
"I think some of what Trump has done is very self-destructive," Mr Gingrich told Fox Business Network on Wednesday.
Three prominent Republicans - including New York Congressman Richard Hanna - have said this week that they would vote for Mrs Clinton, saying Mr Trump was unfit to serve as president.
Many Republicans opposed to Mr Trump have stopped short of supporting Mrs Clinton, saying they would vote for a third candidate instead.
One person who did say he would back Mr Trump on Wednesday was Hollywood actor and director Clint Eastwood.
While stopping short of endorsing Mr Trump, Eastwood said he would vote for him. "I can understand where he's coming from, but I don't always agree with it," he told Esquire magazine.
Eastwood, 86, also said Mr Trump was an enemy of political correctness, adding: "We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist."
The planters separate the road and pedestrian route for cruise liner passengers arriving at the Albert Pier, in St Peter Port.
Residents have branded them "tacky" and have criticised the colour.
But, Deputy Scott Ogier said if people found them "so horrendous" they would be adjusted next season.
The States expects more than 130,000 people to arrive at the pier during the season.
Commerce and Employment Minister Deputy Kevin Stewart, who plans to make an official complaint, said: "They are really ugly planters. I also think they're the wrong colour."
Pat Johnson, from Floral Guernsey, which promotes island events, said: "I'm stunned. There were 18 colour choices, this is almost certainly the worst one.
He said that the planters "were something you wouldn't want to show the judges" of floral competitions.
Some people on the BBC Radio Guernsey Facebook page branded them "tacky", "a waste of money" and said they resembled "upside-down Lego bricks".
But, Deputy Ogier, Public Services Minister, said: "The colour was chosen to merge in with the backdrop of the harbour.
"The purpose is when people come ashore [from cruise liners] they'll see some beautiful plants and flowers.
"We're effectively talking about the colour of flower pots... it's a minor issue, but important."

Not everyone agrees with the new rules that have been introduced in England and Wales.
So, Newsround spoke to kids to get their views.
With the new law that bans smoking in vehicles carrying children coming into force in England and Wales, we went to see what children think of the issue.
Take a look at their thoughts here.
He joins Republican Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue, who in February proposed a bill to cut legal immigration by 50% over 10 years.
The Raise Act would end diversity lottery visas and curb the number of refugees offered permanent residency.
Immigration reform was a centrepiece of Mr Trump's presidential campaign.
But the bill has a long way to go before becoming law and would be likely to face resistance in Congress from members of both parties.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that the bill would have a "devastating" impact on the economy in South Carolina - the state he represents.
Joined by Senators Cotton and Perdue at the White House on Wednesday, Mr Trump framed the plan as "the most significant reform to our immigration system in half a century".
"This competitive application process will favour applicants who can speak English," he said, "financially support themselves and their families and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy".
The proposal would reduce the number of refugees admitted each year to 50,000 from the 110,000 that former President Barack Obama said he would welcome last year.
The bill also would eliminate the State Department's Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, a lottery programme that allows about 50,000 people to live in the US permanently each year.
An estimated 1,051,031 immigrants were granted permanent residence in the US in 2015, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The proposal would also no longer give green card preference to the extended family or adult children of immigrants who already live legally in the US.
During a fiery daily news briefing, White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said they were also proposing to limit family-based migration to spouses and children.
He said the administration planned to introduce an Australian-style, points-based immigration system.
Mr Miller described the policy as "pro-American immigration reform" that enjoyed "immense" support among the public.
He was asked whether the Trump Organization would stop hiring foreign workers to set an example for the rest of the country.
Mr Miller replied: "This bill, of course, doesn't deal with guest workers and temporary non-immigrant visas."
Mr Trump has long vowed to crack down on the US immigration system.
He launched his presidential campaign on the promise of building a wall along the US-Mexican border to halt illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The Trump administration marked a victory in June, when the US Supreme Court partially restored the president's controversial executive order temporarily restricting travel from six mainly Muslim countries and freezing the refugee programme.
The order had previously been blocked by lower courts since February.

Swiss third seed Wawrinka won their semi-final 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 in four hours and 34 minutes.
The Briton began the tournament short of matches after illness and injury.
"I was close to reaching another Slam final when I was not playing well and feeling really, really bad before the event," Murray told BBC Sport.
"I'm not happy - I'm disappointed, frustrated and tired after a long couple of weeks - but I'm proud I put myself into that position, when there were a lot of doubts coming into the event and I didn't feel great at the beginning of the tournament.
"I worked through it, accepted the position I was in, and gave a reasonable account of myself considering those things."
Wawrinka hit 87 winners in a gripping contest that pitted the 2015 champion's attacking prowess against the defensive skills of Murray.
The Swiss, 32, ultimately proved too strong as he made amends for losing to Murray at the same stage last year in Paris.
"He played too well in the end," said the 30-year-old world number one.
"Physically I didn't feel my best at the end. It is more like I didn't have enough weight on my shot at the end of the match to put him under any real pressure."
Murray struggled with shingles, two heavy colds and an elbow injury in the first half of 2017, and arrived at Roland Garros with just 16 wins to his name.
Over the course of six matches in Paris, he spent 18 hours and 17 minutes on court.
Victories over Juan Martin del Potro and Kei Nishikori gave particular encouragement as he looks ahead to the grass-court season.
"I do feel like having an event like this can give me a boost," said Murray, who will play his first match on grass at the Aegon Championships on 20 June.
"On the grass I'll hopefully move well, that's an important part of my game and something I struggled with at a few points during this clay season.
"And the serve. That's something I struggled with the last couple of months.
Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.
"I served fairly well at this event but on the grass it's obviously a huge part of the game - if you serve well it can make a huge difference."
The Scot will retain the number one ranking heading into the grass-court season, but has plenty of points to defend as reigning champion at Queen's Club and Wimbledon.
Asked how far he feels from his best level, Murray said: "I played pretty well these last few matches.
"Even when you're playing well, you're not going to win every match you play, but I put myself in a position to reach a Slam final, so I'm obviously playing pretty good."
More than 40,000 fans are expected to watch the kick-off of the world's biggest sporting event as Great Britain take on New Zealand in women's football at the Millennium Stadium.
The match comes two days before the opening ceremony in London on Friday.
Lord Coe said it was important the Games was not uniquely a London story.
In pictures: London 2012 begins
Following his tour of the stadium, he said: "One of the commitments we made when we were bidding, and I felt strongly about this as somebody who was not brought up in London, was this had to be about the whole of the UK, and this is a really strong signal to our commitment to that concept.
"A lot of the Games are in London but this is not uniquely a London story.
"When I came in this morning I felt I was arriving in an Olympic city, I have been to Cardiff plenty of times but it had a different feel about it today."
The Welsh capital boasted a festival atmosphere with Olympic events being staged across the city centre for an expected crowd of 40,000 at Wednesday's first game.
At around 14:30 BST the Team GB women passed along Westgate Street by coach on the way to the stadium to cheering, flag-waving crowds.
Fans started going into the stadium just after 14:00 BST, with queues forming for people to have their bags searched.
As the game was about to kick off, fans were still queuing to get in.
One of the security staff monitoring bag searches said it was taking anything from 45 seconds to three minutes to search each bag.
He said the biggest cause of the delay was bottles of water and that he "felt sorry" for the searches who had received "some flak simply because they were sticking to the rules."
There were virtually no queues for people who didn't have bags.
Figures provided by the Welsh government show Welsh companies have won Olympic contracts worth in excess of £38m.
This has come partly from investment in sporting facilities which the government say helped attract teams from 20 countries to Wales for pre-Games training.
Jonathan Jones, the government's tourism marketing director, said the Business Minister Edwina Hart had hosted a reception for business people and diplomats in London looking at more investment in Wales and would be attending a global tourism investment conference in London on Thursday.
He rejected criticism that the government had not done more to help businesses gain Olympic contracts, saying they had spent years providing seminars throughout Wales on how to get involved.
"Only the main one and two tiers of (companies who gain) contracts are allowed to mention they've got contracts," he said.
"If you dig down into those supply chains you will find lots of small businesses have had contracts with those large contractors but are not allowed to say anything about it."
FIFA president Sepp Blatter is among those attending the opening event of the Games.
It will be followed by Cameroon v Brazil at 18:45 BST - among 11 matches being held at the Millennium Stadium throughout the Games.
Meanwhile, the security operation around the city is being stepped up, while roads around the stadium have been closed.
South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Julian Kirby said the eyes of the world are on Cardiff .
"Wales is good at big events - the World Cup, FA Cup, football play-off finals and the Six Nations," he said.
"We've stepped up from that. Our ambition is that today's event goes off and the public don't notice us. At the moment everything is in place.
"It's an Olympic football match and what has brought it home to me this morning is on the national news that all eyes are on Cardiff.
"It's my job to make sure that Wales looks good."
In terms of organisation inside the stadium, manager Gerry Toms said everything was "ready to go".
"Let's get the show on the road," he said.
"It reflects the recognition that both the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff is an ideal centre for a worldwide event."
The exact number of tickets sold for both matches is not yet known but there have been large queues at ticket booths around the stadium.
At one of the sales points there have been up to 60 people standing in line since it opened at 10:00 BST.
A last-minute surge of people queued for tickets at gate three of the stadium with an hour and a half to go until kick-off.
A Locog spokesperson said he was "chuffed" with the size of the crowd.
"The women's World Cup Final had 48,000 people and the record for women's club game in the Champions League was 35,000," he said.
"This is a massive crowd for a women's international. It's a great way to start the whole thing off."
Should the crowd at the Millennium Stadium be higher than 48,000, it will eclipse the attendance for last year's Women's World Cup final in Germany, but still fall short of the 90,000 record set in the United States in 1999.
Because of the way football is scheduled with the number of games and rest periods, the tournament has to start before the opening ceremony of the Games.
Under International Olympic Committee (IOC) rules, no events can be held in the host city until after the ceremony takes place.
Roads in Cardiff city centre are closed on Wednesday for eight hours until 21:30 BST and there will be extra capacity on train services.
Music, comedy and sporting activities are taking place around the city centre until 19:00 BST, while fans without tickets will be able to watch the action on the big screen in the Hayes.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "In two days the eyes of the world will focus on the opening ceremony in London, but today Wales is in the spotlight and once again we have an opportunity to show people across the globe what a fantastic host we are for top sporting events."
The prime minister held talks with his Irish counterpart Enda Kenny, afterwards describing the countries as "close friends".
Mr Kenny said he was "very happy" that the relationship was developing.
Mr Cameron will attend a state dinner with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, who are on a four-day visit.
It is the first trip to the Republic of Ireland by a reigning UK monarch since the country gained independence.
After his meeting with Mr Kenny, Mr Cameron said the visit demonstrated that "the relationship can get stronger" between the two countries.
It was a "relationship about trade, investment and the economy" and a "relationship of opportunity between close neighbours and close friends".
He added that the Queen had shown "enormous sensitivity" to the troubled history between the UK and Ireland during her visit.
Mr Cameron met the Taoiseach in Downing Street in April, but this was the pair's first meeting on Irish soil since Mr Kenny came to office in March.
Mr Kenny earlier told the Irish parliament he would speak to Mr Cameron about the release of government files on the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings.
Relatives of those killed in the attacks believe there was British state collusion in the attacks.
No group claimed responsibility for the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which 33 people died, but loyalist paramilitaries were blamed.
However, the Justice for the Forgotten campaign, which represents survivors, believes secret British files could reveal evidence that actions by security forces and police amounted to collusion.
The group wrote an open letter to the Queen, coinciding with her visit, in which it appealed through her to Mr Cameron, asking him to commit to "a genuinely significant gesture of reconciliation" by opening the files.
"Without this move, deeply troublesome questions remain unanswered," the letter said.
Mr Mugabe, who is 90, drew applause when he denounced colonialism.
He also spoke of the "scourge of terrorism" from Boko Haram and said there needed to be "lasting solutions" to the issue in Nigeria and Cameroon.
Earlier, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned of the dangers of leaders clinging to power.
Mr Mugabe has led his country since independence in 1980.
He is subject to travel bans imposed by the US and the EU because of political violence and intimidation in Zimbabwe.
Within Africa he is a divisive figure, with some seeing him as a nationalist hero and others as a despot responsible for gross human rights abuses.
Western diplomatic sources said his election to the mostly ceremonial post of AU chairman was unlikely to have much impact on relations.
In his address to leaders, Mr Mugabe spoke of the need to take advantage of Africa's mineral wealth and agricultural potential, and guard against exploitation by foreigners.
He said African countries wanted relationships with "friends", but "colonialists and imperialists" had no place in the continent.
Later, he received applause when he referred to the long-running territorial dispute in Western Sahara between Morocco and the Algerian-backed Polisario Front.
"As long as our brothers in Western Sahara are under Moroccan occupation we are not totally free," he said.
The move could hasten impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff, correspondents say.
Opposition lawmakers want to remove Ms Rousseff over claims she manipulated accounts to hide a growing deficit.
Following Tuesday's vote, the embattled president cancelled a trip to attend a summit in Washington this week.
At its leadership meeting on Tuesday, the PMDB [Brazilian Democratic Movement Party] decided that its six remaining ministers in President Rousseff's cabinet must resign or face ethics proceedings.
Brazil tumbles like 'House of Cards'
Rousseff faces perfect storm
Brazil's bigger threats
What's gone wrong?
"The decision was taken by acclaim in a historical meeting marking the withdrawal from Dilma (Rousseff's) government," Senator Romero Juca tweeted [in Portuguese].
The announcement came a day after tourism minister Henrique Eduardo Alves from the PMDB stood down.
The BBC's Laura Bicker in Sao Paulo says President Rousseff could now be temporarily suspended from office by Congress as early as May.
She would be replaced by Vice-President Michel Temer, leader of the PMDB, while the Senate decides if she should permanently leave her post, our correspondent adds.
Speaking before the vote, Osmar Terra, a lawmaker from the PMDB, said he had little doubt which way it would go.
"It will be a goodbye to the government," he said.
Analysts say a considerable number of lawmakers from the PMDB have felt uneasy about their alliance with the left-wing Workers' Party for a while.
The impeachment process centres on the question of whether Dilma Rousseff used illegal accounting manoeuvres or not.
But in practical terms, MPs and senators are looking mostly on whether she has the strength and legitimacy to rule Brazil, as the country faces a severe economic crisis as well as a political one.
The PMDB was the first major coalition partner to jump ship. It is also the group that has most to gain should Ms Rousseff be impeached. Mr Temer has reportedly been talking to opposition leaders and working on forming a cabinet.
But despite her weakened stance, Ms Rousseff and her Workers' Party still have support from many in Congress and in the streets. There will be a lot to play for in the coming days.
Critical month for Rousseff
Their unease has been compounded by calls for Ms Rousseff's impeachment and a widening corruption scandal involving senior members in the Workers' Party.
The president needs one third of the members of the lower house of Congress to vote against her impeachment for the proceedings to be shelved.
Without the PMDB, she could lose as many as 69 votes at once in the 513-member Chamber of Deputies.
Another of Ms Rousseff's coalition partners, the centre-left Social Democratic Party (PSD) said it had given its lawmakers a free vote in any possible impeachment proceedings.
On Monday, Ms Rousseff's mentor and predecessor in office, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, likened the moves to impeach her to a coup.
But Lula himself is under pressure.
The Supreme Court suspended his appointment as Ms Rousseff's chief of staff earlier this month and is due to take a final decision on the matter next week.
Opponents of the government said the president had given Lula the post so he could escape investigation and possible proceedings over allegations of money laundering.
Under Brazilian law, cabinet members can only be investigated by the Supreme Court, not by lower courts.
There have been mass protests demanding the impeachment of President Rousseff in cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
But there have also been rallies in support of the government by those who say the president is the victim of a campaign to drive the Workers' Party from government.
The singer has opened up about the repercussions of the 2009 incident in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Pictures of her bruised face surfaced after the assault in Brown's car.
Asked about becoming "a poster child for victims of domestic abuse", she said she felt forced to relive the "very serious" incident by the media.
She told the magazine: "Well, I just never understood that, like how the victim gets punished over and over. It's in the past, and I don't want to say, 'Get over it,' because it's a very serious thing that is still relevant; it's still real.
"A lot of women, a lot of young girls, are still going through it. A lot of young boys too. It's not a subject to sweep under the rug, so I can't just dismiss it like it wasn't anything, or I don't take it seriously.
"But, for me, and anyone who's been a victim of domestic abuse, nobody wants to even remember it. Nobody even wants to admit it.
"So to talk about it and say it once, much less 200 times, is like… I have to be punished for it? It didn't sit well with me."
Brown was sentenced to five years of probation following the assault. But the pair got back together in 2012, and Rihanna told Vanity Fair she thought she could change him.
"I was that girl who felt that, as much pain as this relationship is, maybe some people are built stronger than others," she said. "Maybe I'm one of those people built to handle [things] like this.
"Maybe I'm the person who's almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they're not strong enough, when they're not understanding the world, when they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing.
"I was very protective of him. I felt that people didn't understand him. Even after… But you know, you realise after a while that in that situation you're the enemy.
"You want the best for them, but if you remind them of their failures, or if you remind them of bad moments in their life, or even if you say I'm willing to put up with something, they think less of you - because they know you don't deserve what they're going to give.
"And if you put up with it, maybe you are agreeing that you [deserve] this, and that's when I finally had to say, 'Uh-oh, I was stupid thinking I was built for this.' Sometimes you just have to walk away."
She told the magazine she does not hate Brown and would "care about him until the day I die". But she added: "We're not friends, but it's not like we're enemies. We don't have much of a relationship now."
The group seized the town of Akhtarin, 50km (30 miles) northeast of Aleppo city, where Syrian rebels are holed up.
The BBC's Rami Ruhayem says that if confirmed, it would be a significant expansion for IS fighters.
The group holds large swathes of Syria and Iraq, declaring the creation of a caliphate, or Islamic state.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) - an activist group that monitors the conflict - says IS took control overnight of Akhtarin and Turkmanbareh, another town close to the border with Turkey.
The militants also took a string of nearby villages from Syrian opposition groups who are fighting President Bashar al-Assad. They include Masoudiyeh, Dabiq and Ghouz, according to the SOHR.
Correspondents say the seizing of the towns and villages could threaten Syrian rebel supply lines into the city of Aleppo.
Opposition groups in Aleppo have been fighting President Assad for over three years, but are being squeezed by IS gains in the north and a government offensive from the south.
Diplomats say Syrian government forces have only recently begun taking on IS after the group seized more territory in the country and across the border in Iraq.
IS has had control of several parts of Syria since 2013 and used the northern town of Raqqa as its hub in Syria after capturing an army base there last month.
Syria's conflict began in March 2011 as a popular uprising against President Assad's regime, but has since turned into a brutal civil war that has killed at least 170,000 people.
Some nine million people, or a third of Syria's pre-war population, have fled their homes.
The staff at Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length council body, want better pay for shift work.
About 140 members of three trade unions - Unison, Unite and GMB - are expected to take part in the 48-hour action from 9 to 11 September.
Ahead of previous stoppages this year, CSG said it had "business continuity plans in place".
Unison Glasgow branch secretary Brian Smith said: "The trade unions believe that the payment levels are far too low compared to those in other parts of the Glasgow City Council family.
"For example, the nightshift payment in the council is almost double that which CSG intend to pay.
"The trade unions do not believe that the proposed payments adequately compensate workers who undertake shifts and our members have been left with no option other than to take strike action."
Five guards are also missing and are believed to have aided the mass prison breakout in Nuevo Laredo town.
Mexican police say the majority of those on the run are drug traffickers and members of armed gangs.
The prison system is struggling to cope with an influx of offenders arrested in a campaign against drugs cartels.
Correspondents say prison breakouts are not uncommon in northern Mexico, where more than 400 inmates have escaped since January 2010.
Nuevo Laredo, in Tamaulipas state, lies just across the border from Laredo, Texas.
The largest jail break so far was last December when more than 140 prisoners escaped from the same prison.
According to a statement from the Tamaulipas state government, the riot began on Friday morning in Nuevo Laredo's Sanctions Enforcement Centre, which houses an estimated 1,200 prisoners.
After the breakout, soldiers surrounded the jail and calm was restored, the authorities said.
The northern border region is the scene of rising lawlessness as the cartels fight the security forces and each other for control of smuggling routes into the US.
The main battle in Tamaulipas is between the Zetas and the Gulf cartels, the AFP news agency reports.
Their capacity for violence and ability to pay huge bribes gives them considerable power to subvert the prison system and get their people out.
President Felipe Calderon came to power in 2006 promising a war on drugs.
More than 35,000 people have died in drug violence since he began his campaign, which has involved launching an army assault on drug gangs.
They believe Zane Gbangbola was killed by hydrogen cyanide released from floodwater in their home, which they say came from a former landfill site.
The Chertsey family handed in a 16,000-signature petition.
The agency said it was working with police to investigate the matter.
Tests during the summer showed Zane died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but his parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, dispute the findings.
Mr Gbangbola, 48, a company director who was left paralysed by the same incident, said: "We are starting to believe the causes behind his death are being swept under the carpet.
"It has now been nearly 10 months since he died and still we have had no cause of death, no date for an inquest and no assurances that our case is being taken seriously."
He said hydrogen cyanide had been found in the family's blood and had been identified in the house.
Mr Gbangbola said the family met Environment Secretary Liz Truss last week and she would be investigating the matter.
He said the family wanted answers and action to protect others, with further flooding expected this winter.
Supporters of the family include fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who joined the march.
"It's so tragic what happened and there's no accountability for it even though the government are very well aware of what happened," she said.
"They've just turned away from it and left this man paralysed and his little boy dead."
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "This is a tragedy and our sincere sympathies are with the Gbangbola family.
"Along with other agencies we are working with Surrey Police who are investigating this matter."
Surrey Police said the force was trying to get answers for Zane's parents.
"The process is lengthy and we fully appreciate this is a frustrating and painful time for all concerned," it said in a statement.
The force said a pathologist had carried out tests after an initial inconclusive post-mortem examination and had given a result of carbon monoxide intoxication.
It said any evidence would be provided to the Surrey coroner for an inquest.
About 10,300 homes, which get their general waste collected on a Monday, will be affected by the change.
Collections in the rest of the council area will also change from being picked up every fortnight to every three weeks.
The council said recycling and food waste would still be collected weekly.
The move comes after a year-long survey found more than half the items placed in wheelie bins in the county should have been recycled - causing £1.6m of waste a year.
Conwy councillor Dave Cowans said: "More than 11,000 householders replied [to the survey], with the majority agreeing that the council should take steps to reduce waste.
"Respondents also confirmed that they could manage accordingly if refuse was collected less frequently and recycling collected weekly."
But Conservative Clwyd West AM Darren Millar described the plans as "absolutely ridiculous" and claimed it would lead to a rise in fly tipping, litter and pest control incidents.
"I don't want that laid at the door of the local authority, and that's why I want them to step back from these proposals and to crack on with the fortnightly collections that people have now," he said.
He said Conwy council could do more to increase recycling rates without cutting collections, adding: "... I think it's wrong that people are paying more and more in council tax and actually getting less and less in services - they feel ripped off."
Dawson Willcock, who is 20 months old, was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a form of liver cancer, in January but chemotherapy has failed to help him.
His parents want to take him to Cincinnati and have started the "Dollar for Dawson" campaign.
They were told the chances of getting the rare cancer are 0.9 in one million.
"You never think your child is going to get cancer. It always happens to other people - not to you," Dawson's mother Wendy Willcock said.
"Then on January 24 we got the official diagnosis - on my birthday - that it was cancerous hepatoblastoma. The hardest thing is hearing that your child is chemo-resistant and nothing is going to work."
Canadian singer Michael Buble's son Noah was diagnosed with the same cancer in 2016, but has reportedly responded to treatment.
Dawson, who is from Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, is currently receiving treatment at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
Source: Children's Cancer Research Fund
The family was told the cancer had spread to his lungs and the tumours were getting bigger.
"If there is someone who can save our son, then obviously we are going to go and fight to get there," his mother added.
Mrs Willcock said Dawson's consultant in Nottingham had contacted Dr James Geller, a paediatric haematologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, about possible treatments.
She added the exact costs of the treatment had not been confirmed: "Time is not on our side, we need to have this money in a very short time.
"Should we get the news he can't be saved, any money raised will go to good causes such as families like ourselves needing funding." | Police were under "immense pressure" during the investigation in to the death of Pte Cheryl James at Deepcut following the murder of Milly Dowler.

Five-year-old Samuel Walker was fatally injured in the hit-and-run collision in Chorlton, Manchester, in February 2003.
Nawnee Mackin, 35, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after police reopened an investigation in 2012 into the boy's death.
He was jailed for nine years after a trial at Manchester Crown Court.
The court heard how Samuel had been crossing Hardy Lane in Chorlton with his mother and 11-year-old sister as they made their way to his grandmother's house.
He was thrown on to the car's bonnet and killed instantly, days before his sixth birthday.
Mackin, who was 23 at the time, had no licence or insurance and was said to have reached speeds of up to 50mph in the Mitsubishi Gallant.
Despite an extensive investigation at the time, police were unable to identify the driver of the car, which had been taken for a joyride around the Merseybank Estate in Chorlton.
But Mackin was later identified after fresh information came to light.
He was also picked out by Samuel's mother Jacqueline Tocmak in an identity parade.
Mrs Tocmak said she would have "fought for justice until the day I died".
In a statement read to the court, she said: "The day Samuel was killed my heart was ripped out.
"There is not a day I do not think of Samuel. I often relive the events of that day. His sister then aged 11 saw him die. Twelve years later she still cries herself to sleep.
"Getting justice for Samuel has brought me a step closer for closure for my family and I."
Sgt Lee Westhead, of Greater Manchester Police, said he was sorry the case was not resolved sooner.
He paid tribute to Samuel's family for the "patience and dignity" they had shown.
He added: "In particular I would like to recognise the bravery of Samuel's mother who had to suffer the ordeal of giving evidence about the events of that tragic day." | A joyrider nicknamed "Monster" who struck and killed a schoolboy in front of his mother has been jailed - more than 10 years after the boy's death. | 34,901,512 | 443 | 42 | false |
Ms Rudd will argue that the UK faces an "electric shock" outside the EU, pointing to research suggesting energy costs could increase by £500m a year.
The UK, she will claim, is more at risk of Russian "hijacking" outside the EU.
Leave campaigners said the UK did not depend on the EU or Russia for supplies and EU membership pushed costs up.
EU vote: all you need to know
With three months to go until the referendum on the UK's EU membership on 23 June, both sides are focusing on the question of what leaving the EU would mean for employment, growth, domestic security and national sovereignty.
The government, which is backing EU membership, has been accused by its opponents of scaring people about the risks of EU exit.
In a speech in Kent, Ms Rudd will claim that EU membership has kept household energy bills down, providing access to cheap electricity from the continent and facilitating billions of pounds of investment in the UK's energy network and supply chain.
"Does anybody really think all of that investment would continue if we left the EU and with no extra costs," she will say.
She will highlight research commissioned by the National Grid which suggests that, although uncertain, the impact of leaving the EU on the UK's energy capability is "very likely to be negative".
The report, written by consultants Vivid Economics, warns that if the UK was to be excluded from the EU's Internal Energy Market after voting to leave, it could force up energy costs by up to £500m by the 2020s.
This, Ms Rudd will argue, is "the equivalent of British bills going up by around £1.5m and each and every day".
She will also portray life outside the EU as a direct threat to the UK's energy security, arguing that as the UK becomes more dependant on gas imports, the more EU membership is needed to minimise the risk of threats to supplies from other sources, particularly Russia, Europe's largest gas exporter.
"We have seen how countries such as Putin's Russia use their gas supplies as a tool of foreign policy, threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices," she will say.
"We can't let our energy be hijacked as a political pawn to bring Europe to its knees...As a bloc of 500 million people, we have the power to force Putin's hand."
The research makes clear the UK would be able to mitigate most of these risks if it remained a member of the Internal Energy Market. Countries outside the EU, such as Norway, are members.
It also argues the short-term risk to gas supplies are minimal since the UK has a diversified source of supply, obtaining much of its gas from Norway, and is one of the largest producers of liquefied natural gas in Western Europe.
While in the event of leaving the EU, the UK would be free to strike bilateral deals with major energy suppliers, it says there could be an impact in terms of higher financing costs and access to interconnectors.
Vote Leave said there was no evidence that the single market in energy would reduce prices, citing research suggesting EU energy regulation cost the UK between £86.6bn and £93.2bn
"Amber Rudd's absurd claims simply aren't backed up by her own research," said its chief executive Matthew Elliott.
"If we want cheaper bills, less commission interference and the ability to spend our money on our priorities, then the safe option is to Vote Leave."
And Grassroots Out said the UK would have £14bn to spend as it wished if it left the EU and major inward investments would still go ahead. "This is the Government's Project Fear taken to a whole new level," said director Alex Deane.
"The UK has one of the highest carbon resources in Europe. Putin does not have the power to switch off the lights in Britain, as the energy secretary implies. In any case, we can't decide our nation's future based on whether we think Putin will smile or frown."
The EU has sought to liberalise energy markets in the past 20 years to boost cross-border trade, increase competition and reduce wholesale prices but critics argue it is being held back by gaps in infrastructure and inconsistencies in market rules.
National Grid said it was not expressing an opinion one way or another about the UK's future in the EU but wanted to inform the debate by providing evidence about different scenarios.
State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced the revised charges on Thursday, but the most serious charges - including second-degree murder - remained.
Gray suffered a severe spinal cord injury in police custody in April and died a week later.
His death sparked weeks of protests and later riots and looting in Baltimore.
"As is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," Ms Mosby said.
The grand jury did not return charges on the false imprisonment charges that were brought against some of the officers.
Ms Mosby brought the false imprisonment charges earlier claiming that Gray's arrest was unjustified and illegal.
However, the grand jury did return new reckless endangerment charges that were not part of the original charges announced three weeks ago.
Ms Mosby has said that Gray's neck was broken while he was being handcuffed and placed into a police van. She also said that police repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical attention.
The officers are scheduled to appear in court on 2 July.
A lawyer for the six Baltimore police officers said they "did nothing wrong", after criminal charges were announced by Ms Mosby earlier this month.
Lawyer Michael Davey said the officers "at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training" and accused Ms Mosby of an "egregious rush to judgement".
"As all of the facts surrounding this case come out in the appropriate form, the officers' lack of wrongdoing will be made abundantly clear."
He also said that the defence team had "grave concerns about the fairness and integrity of the prosecution of our officers".
Ms Mosby rejected a police union request to step aside and appoint a special prosecutor to handle the case.
The grand jury's decision to bring charges largely similar to Ms Mosby's may quiet calls for her to step aside.
Gray's death is the latest in a string of high-profile cases in the US where unarmed black men have died after contact with the police.
After his funeral, riots broke out in sections of West Baltimore, prompting city and state officials to deploy thousands of extra law enforcement officers and National Guard troops to keep the peace and enact a citywide curfew.
Jamie Shaul went over to put Hull ahead, but Saints led at half-time thanks to James Roby's try from dummy-half and a penalty from Percival.
Percival went over after good work from Theo Fages, before Mahe Fonua crossed to reduce the visitors' deficit.
But Percival touched down acrobatically from Fages' kick, before Danny Richardson's drop-kick sealed the win.
Saints are now almost certain to finish in Super League's top eight, with only Catalans - six points behind with three games to play - able to catch them.
Hull, who lost 45-0 when the two sides met in May, were already assured of a top-eight finish, as they stay fourth in the table.
The result could have been different had Fetuli Talanoa not had a try correctly disallowed for a push on Tommy Makinson shortly before Percival's second try, but instead Saints held on for a sixth consecutive home victory.
St Helens: Lomax; Makinson, Morgan, Percival, Grace; Fages, Richardson; Douglas, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Peyroux, Knowles.

Several protesters were arrested during the dawn work to cut down eight trees in Rustlings Road last year.
The city council, which apologised, said it now planned to "work better with residents to get the job done".
The felling was part of a wider scheme to improve streets and remove diseased, damaging or dangerous trees.
There were angry scenes in November when work began to fell trees in Rustlings Road at 05:00 GMT.
Two women arrested were charged under trade union legislation and are due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court later in January.
It was the latest in a series of stand-offs between contractors and protesters in the city.
The Streets Ahead project is a 25-year agreement between the council and contractors Amey to upgrade Sheffield's roads, pavements, street lights and bridges.
The council said it wanted to work in a "collaborative way... to regain the trust of people in Sheffield".
The council had already promised that tree felling would not now begin before 07:00. The advice of an Independent Tree Panel is to be published before work begins on replacing other trees.
A working group is also to look at plans to chop down trees in the Western Road First World War Memorial, planted to honour school pupils killed in World War One.
The council is also "to retain and improve" four other war memorials containing trees.
"Our commitment to the street trees programme remains as strong as ever, and the job has got to be done. We know we have to do better when it comes to working with people," said the council.
The council plans to replace an estimated 10,000 trees out of 36,000 on the city's streets.
Felled trees are replaced and additional ones planted, said the council.

A minute's silence has been held at a football match in the home village of Gareth Willington, 59, and his son Daniel, 32, whose boat smashed into rocks and broke up on Thursday.
One man was rescued and taken to hospital, but was pronounced dead.
The other remains missing following the incident at St David's Head.
The search has been scaled down.
Secretary of Carew FC Jeremy Griffiths, said: "The tragedy has hit the whole village, we are a small and close community."
Five lifeboats, a helicopter and local fishing boats were involved in the search.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch is investigating the sinking off Aberreidy Beach, near St David's.
Wreckage from the boat - believed to be The Harvester - has been found over a four mile (6.4km) area.
The body of Sinead Wooding, 26, was discovered by joggers near Alwoodley Crags car park in Stairfoot Lane on 14 May.
Akshar Ali, 26, of Kings Road, Leeds, and Yasmin Ahmed, 27, of Reginald Mount, Leeds, both denied the charge during a hearing at Leeds Crown Court.
They were remanded in custody and will stand trial on 13 November.　
More on this and other West Yorkshire stories
At the same court hearing, Asim Ali, 20, of Kings Road, Leeds and Vicky Briggs, 25, of Throstle Road, Leeds both denied a charge of assisting an offender. They were released on bail.
On Thursday, the Independent Police Complaints Commission announced it was investigating West Yorkshire Police over its actions prior to the discovery of Ms Wooding's body.
Brig John Donnelly told an inquest into the death of Cheryl James the Army had not fully realised the risks of placing young soldiers on lone guard duty.
Pte James, 18, from Denbighshire, was found dead at Deepcut barracks in 1995, amid claims of bullying and abuse.
The inquest is the second into her death after new evidence was disclosed.
Brig Donnelly, the Army's director of personal services, told the coroner: "I recognise we didn't put sufficient guidance in place.
"In 1995 we didn't fully recognise the risk of relatively inexperienced trainees, putting them on armed guard in relatively isolated positions... the risk that people may have to other people in relation to discharging the weapons."
He added: "I owe Mr and Mrs James an apology for those failings."
Earlier, the family's barrister, Alison Foster QC, told the hearing a police officer called in to review the case had questioned the Army's view that Pte James had taken her own life.
She said the Surrey Police officer had cast doubts on the suicide theory because of the circumstances in which her body had been found.
Reading from the statement made by an officer who reviewed Pte James's death in 2002, she said: "There was no exit wound, the apparent lack of blood on the ground, the way in which the hood of [her] waterproof jacket was covering the face... any one of these indicators would not cause suspicion... but taken together, they ask questions about the way and the manner of Private James's death."
The teenager, from Llangollen, was one of four young recruits to die in shootings at the barracks in a five-year period.
A previous inquest, in 1995, recorded an open verdict, but a new one was ordered by the High Court after Surrey Police were ordered to disclose new evidence.
Pte James's father, Des, told the inquest that the police officer's statement had confirmed suspicions that he and his wife, Doreen, had had at the time of their daughter's death.
A statement from Mrs James, who was unable to attend the hearing, said Pte James had been a "caring and happy child" but had seen a psychologist after taking an overdose of paracetamol while at school.
She said she had bought her daughter a diary with a distinctive cover and said: "I believe she would have continued to keep a diary while in the Army... I've always found it strange that the diary has never been found."
The court heard there had been three potential suspects around the time Pte James died, including two "unknown males".
Pte James's schoolfriend, Lydia Daksh, told the hearing she hated the Army and had not wanted to return after her last visit home.
"She just wanted to go Awol," she said.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
Ms Daksh said her friend was happy and bubbly, but had come to hate life in the Army.
She also said Pte James had said she had been raped aged 13 or 14 after meeting boys at a party.
"She didn't speak about it much, but after that it really affected her," Ms Daksh told the court in Woking.
She was also asked about an incident of self-harming by Pte James.
Ms Daksh said: "It was definitely after the rape occurred but it wasn't with the intent to kill herself."
She agreed she had initially thought her friend had killed herself when told she had died, but she added: "Now I wouldn't say I felt certain."
Another friend, Kirstie Mansfield, said the conclusion that Pte James had died by suicide had been "inflicted on us", and restated her belief that the soldier had not killed herself.
The inquest continues.
Matt Smith will return to the Royal Court in Anthony Neilson's new play Unreachable, about an obsessive film director.
The play will be "created in the rehearsal room" and documented online as it evolves.
Billie Piper will star at the Young Vic in a new work based on Federico Lorca's Yerma.
Written and directed by Simon Stone, the play will feature Piper as a woman whose inability to have a child tears her life apart.
The actress, who played companion Rose Tyler in Doctor Who, has a stage CV that includes Great Britain and The Effect, both at the National Theatre, and Reasons To Be Pretty at the Almeida.
Matt Smith, who played the Eleventh Doctor from 2010-2013, was previously at the Royal Court in Fresh Kills and That Face.
His other theatre credits include American Psycho (Almeida), Swimming with Sharks, in the West End and The History Boys at the National.
Also in the cast for Unreachable are Amanda Drew, Tamara Lawrance, Jonjo O'Neill (who played opposite Piper in The Effect) and Richard Pyros.
The Royal Court said that throughout rehearsals content would be posted online "that will offer audiences an insight into the process of devising work, and the themes and images that will shape the finished production".
Unreachable will run at the Royal Court from 2 July to 6 August.
Yerma will run at the Young Vic from 28 July to 24 September.
The attack, which told place in an alleyway, was reported to police just after 21:25 GMT on Friday night.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.
The PSNI are appealing for information.
Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak and two of his guards were seized early on Saturday in the centre of the capital Sanaa.
The Houthis said they abducted him to prevent a UN-brokered deal between them and the presidency being broken.
The country has been plagued by instability since mass protests forced former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to step down in 2012.
Scores of people have been killed in clashes between the Houthis and Sunni militants.
A statement from the Houthis warned President Hadi of "a series of special measures" they were prepared to take to prevent the breaking of the deal.
The two sides agreed a truce in September last year after mounting clashes in Sanaa.
Negotiations are under way to secure Mr Bin Mubarak's release.
Houthi rebels blocked his appointment as prime minister last year.
The group was formed in 2004 to win greater autonomy for their home region of Saada, and to protect followers of Zaidism, the branch of Islam they adhere to.
Their critics say they are a proxy for Iran, a charge the rebels deny.
A video purportedly from al-Qaeda in Yemen (AQAP) said it planned and financed the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in France that killed 12, but did not provide evidence to support its claims.
There have been separate protests in Sanaa about the rising violence in the country and against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's decision to publish an image of the Prophet Muhammad.
The milestone was achieved 76 hours into the latest leg of its attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
Pilot Andre Borschberg is making steady progress as he attempts the first solar-powered crossing of the Pacific.
After leaving Nagoya, Japan, early on Monday (local time), he has now passed Midway Island and is heading towards his destination of Kalaeloa, Hawaii.
At 76 hours into the journey, he broke the record for the longest ever non-stop solo flight without refuelling.
The previous mark was set by the American Steve Fossett in 2006.
His jet-powered Virgin GlobalFlyer vehicle completed a full circumnavigation of the world in that time, travelling more than 41,000km.
In contrast, Mr Borschberg's Solar Impulse plane, which carries no fuel at all, had gone "only" some 5,500km in its 76 hours of flight.
Wednesday saw the Swiss pilot fly a holding pattern to time his encounter with an upcoming cold front to the optimum.
This will occur on Thursday, and Mr Borschberg needs good sun conditions to get his aircraft up and over the weather system so that he can navigate the final stretch into Kalaeloa on Friday.
Precisely when this historic landing will occur is somewhat uncertain.
Solar Impulse has some quite strict constraints to ensure the 72m-wingspan vehicle can put its wheels down safely.
These include a maximum cross wind of no more than four knots and a maximum overall wind speed of no more than 10 knots.
If it is too windy at ground level, Mr Borschberg will be instructed to circle overhead until the conditions calm down.
By then, he will probably have spent more than 120 hours in the air.
So far, he has coped remarkably well on very little sleep, and on Wednesday even made time to joke around in his cockpit by donning a wig and fake beard.
When he gets to Hawaii, he will be met by fellow adventurer and business partner, Bertrand Piccard.
The pair have shared the flying duties in the single-seater plane's round-the-world quest, which began in Abu Dhabi, UAE, back in March.
It is Mr Piccard – who famously made the first non-stop, global circumnavigation in a balloon – who will fly the next leg from Kalaeloa to Phoenix, Arizona.
That is not quite as far as the current stint, but it still likely to take four days and nights.
From Phoenix, Solar Impulse will head for New York and an Atlantic crossing that would eventually see the plane return to Abu Dhabi.
Borschberg and Piccard have used the various stopovers on their round-the-world journey to carry a campaigning message to local people on the topic of clean technologies.
Their Solar Impulse plane is not intended to be a vision of the future of aviation. Rather, it is supposed to be a demonstration of the current capabilities of solar power in general.
The vehicle is covered in 17,000 photovoltaic cells. These either power the vehicle's electric motors directly, or charge its lithium-ion batteries, which sustain the plane during the night hours.
LEG 1: 9 March. Abu Dhabi (UAE) to Muscat (Oman) - 772km; in 13 hours and 1 minute
LEG 2: 10 March. Muscat (Oman) to Ahmedabad (India) - 1,593km; in 15 hours and 20 minutes

It is thought someone tried to throw the items over the wall of HMP Bristol but they rebounded and fell into the playground at Bishop Road Primary.
Parents were warned that "illicit items" had been found in a letter from the deputy head.
Bishop Road Primary School told the BBC it did not want to comment.
One mother told the BBC: "It really concerns me that things like this are being found in the playground."
"I don't want my child touching these sorts of things. We're waiting to hear what the school and prison are going to do about it."
Bishop Road Primary backs onto HMP Bristol in Horfield, a category B men's prison, with some young offenders.
The school's deputy head Joe Emissah wrote to parents on Wednesday, praising the prison for its work with the school.
But he added: "Recently there have been a number of incidents in which items intended to be illicitly passed over the prison wall to inmates, have found their way into the Silverthorne playground.
"I am proud to say that children at Bishop Road always impress staff, parents and visitors alike with their great maturity, awareness and responsibility in raising any concerns of this nature."
Avon and Somerset Police said they were using dogs and officers to search people coming into the prison, which has security cameras on its perimeter.
Inspector Mark Runacres said: "We believe someone has tried to get these items into the prison by attempting to throw them over the prison wall.
"We always work closely with our partners at HMP Bristol. We are already aware of this issue and we are actively working to tackle it."
A prison source said they were working with police to catch those responsible.
The Poppies: Weeping Window installation has adorned the steps of St George's Hall since November and ends on Sunday.
A larger display of the poppies was on show at The Tower of London in 2014.
Created by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, the original artwork marked 100 years since the start of World War One.
The Weeping Window display was installed in Liverpool just before Remembrance Sunday and had attracted 301,500 visitors by the end of 2015.
The Liverpool Welsh Choral Union will sing at the site at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, before the exhibition is closed with a performance from a bugler from the Band of the Duke of Lancaster at about 16:45.
Councillor Wendy Simon, assistant mayor and cabinet member for culture, tourism and events, said: "These poppies will have been part of the city's fabric for 72 days and the reaction to the stunning work has been overwhelming to say the least.
"We bid to host the poppies six months ago as St George's Hall would be the perfect venue for the installation with its World War One connections, and as with all our events, we knew that as usual, the people of Liverpool would come out in their thousands to show support for the thought-provoking piece of work.
"But we didn't expect the response we've had, and it makes me massively proud to know so many people have taken the time to visit."
The winner of the award is decided by players across the football leagues and the Women's Super League who all have a chance to cast a vote.
This season Mahrez has helped to put his team at the top of the league, scoring 17 goals and making 11 assists in 34 games,
Mahrez and his team mates arrived at the ceremony in style when a helicopter brought them straight to the awards from their impressive 4-0 victory over Swansea City.
Mahrez was up against some top players, including his team mate Jamie Vardy, who set a new Premier League record scoring in 11 consecutive league matches.
He said to reporters that it felt great to be the first African player to win the award but that he didn't think it made him the best African player.
Other winners on the awards night were, Sunderland striker Beth Mead who won 'Womens Young Player of the Year' and Dele Alli of MK Dons who was also named 'Young Player of the Year'.
To get an overview of what they faced, disaster response coordinators needed satellite imagery, and the first picture to come in was acquired by a British-built, Nigerian-owned platform.
NigeriaSat-1 captured a wide-area image showing where the New Orleans levee system had been overtopped or breached. It laid bare the extent of the flooding in the city and all along the coastline.
NigeriaSat-1, which worked up until 2012, was part of the Disaster Monitoring Constellation of Earth-imaging spacecraft managed and operated from Guildford in southern England.
And one of the constellation's current members, called DMC-2, has been back to Louisiana and the Gulf region in recent days to take another picture to mark the 10th anniversary of Katrina.
At the resolution permitted on this page, the devastation may not be immediately obvious, but follow the path of the Mississippi River and you can begin to see where the red colour in the 2005 view literally turns a muddy shade, as compared with the 2015 perspective. This is St Bernard Parish, which was hit hard by the storm surge associated with the hurricane.
It is apparent also that the marshes beyond were severely inundated.
The "false" red is traditionally used to colour near-infrared wavelengths in which vegetation stands out particularly well in orbital photos.
Hurricane Katrina was the one of deadliest hurricanes to strike the United States in recent times. More than 1,800 people are thought to have lost their lives, and the cost of the damage exceeded $100bn.
Satellites are an invaluable tool in the wake of major natural disasters, be they cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or even bush and forest fires.
Their imagery provides important context for those trying to manage the response to the emergency, and will influence decisions on how best to move resources, such as medical supplies and logistics support, into a trouble spot.
The NigeriaSat-1 spacecraft was a compact imager weighing about 100kg. Built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd for the African nation, the platform provided multispectral (colour) pictures at a ground resolution of 32m per pixel, in a broad swath some 600km across. UK-DMC2, also assembled by SSTL and launched in 2009, is very similar in size, but has a slightly better resolution, at 22m per pixel.

The U's saw their League One play-off hopes dented in a 3-1 defeat by Fleetwood on Wednesday following their EFL Trophy final loss to Coventry.
"We've got to make sure we bounce back and end the season on a high," Ruffells told BBC Radio Oxford.
Oxford are seven points off the play-offs with five games still to play.
"It's all about the performances from now on and making sure the gaffer knows we're good enough to stay in the side," Ruffells added, after making six appearances in the space of 19 days for the club.
"It's been a difficult and disappointing few days for the club. I thought we gave a good account ourselves (against Fleetwood) and bounced back well from Sunday.
"I don't think they caused us too many problems and it's disappointing really."
The attack happened in Sanban, about 100km (60 miles) south-east of the capital, Sanaa, witnesses said.
It was not clear who was behind the attack but a Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air raids against Houthi rebels.
Last month an air strike on a wedding party near the Red Sea port of Mocha killed at least 130 people.
The coalition denied it was responsible for that attack.
The latest incident was said to have struck a wedding party being hosted by a tribal leader who is known to support the Houthi rebels. At least 25 people were reported to have been wounded.
About 5,000 people, including 2,355 civilians, have been killed in air strikes and fighting on the ground since 26 March, when Houthi fighters and allied army units forced Yemen's internationally recognised president to flee the country.
An estimated 21 million people - or 80% of the population - require some form of humanitarian assistance and almost 1.5 million people are internally displaced.
The Houthis - northern Shia Muslim rebels - backed by forces loyal to Yemen's previous President Ali Abdullah Saleh, forced the government into exile in March.
Yemen's UN-recognised President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi returned to the southern port city of Aden last month, where his government has set up a temporary base.
His forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, are pressing north towards rebel-held Sanaa.
The Next Einstein Forum wants to turn Africa into a global hub for science and technology by bringing the continent's top brains together with investors and policymakers.
As part of their quest to ensure the next Einstein comes from the continent, young African scientists were asked to come up with innovations that could "solve a big problem for humanity".
No pressure, then.
Here is a summary of the top three ideas, as chosen by the NEF's panel of expert judges.
Innovation: Medical drone network
Mr Bangura wants to use a fleet of electrically powered drones, which could be used to deliver treatment to patients in hard-to-reach areas.
The unmanned aerial vehicles could serve a double purpose, both delivering essentials like medicine or emergency fluids, and also taking away blood or other samples for testing.
The drones would be able to bypass traffic congestion, a major problem in many African cities, as well as reach rural areas with poor road networks.
They would be able to fly with an 8kg (17lb) payload for 40 minutes, covering a radius of 40km (25 miles).
"We believe that the geographical location of someone cannot determine whether they receive an available life-saving drug," Mr Bangura says.
Innovation: Transforming rubbish into building materials
Mr Thiam's plan is take plastic waste, the build-up of which is a massive problem for so many cities across the continent, and turn it into something that can be used for the public good, such as building roads or pavements.
Many of the plastics that end up in African landfills or clog up urban drainage systems take more than 100 years to biodegrade naturally.
The project would build on existing research showing that plastic waste can be used to create materials that act as a substitute or part-substitute for cement, when combined with sand and gravel.
"[The innovation would lead to] a healthier environment, with a reduction in both pollution and the cost of building materials," Mr Thiam says.
Innovation: Mobile health information service for mothers
Ms Mukasa's idea, named Afya Mama, is to use mobile phones to provide women with better information about health issues surrounding pregnancy, immunisation, family planning and HIV/Aids.
Pregnant women, healthcare workers and others would get health advice by SMS, or by making a phone call and selecting pre-recorded audio content.
The messages could be pre-recorded in any language and selected using Interactive Voice Response technology, meaning the service could cover the more than 40 ethnic dialects in Kenya.
"Our objective is to consistently sensitise mothers with information on healthcare and best practices, linking them up with an expert in the case of emergency," Ms Mukasa says.
Queen's University, Belfast, (QUB) was involved in a European project to solve the mystery of an "extraordinarily brilliant" light in a distant galaxy.
Last year, US scientists assumed that the light came from an exploding star.
But after studying it for 10 months, QUB astronomers believe the star was ripped apart by a spinning black hole.
Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so powerful that even light cannot escape.
The largest type of black hole is referred to as "supermassive" and the one under examination is believed to have a mass of "at least 100m times that of the sun", according to QUB.
The team from QUB's Astrophysics Research Centre was involved in gathering months of data from a selection of telescopes, both on earth and in space, including the Hubble space telescope.
The light source, named ASASSN-15lh, was initially categorised in the US in 2015 as the brightest supernova (exploding star) ever seen.
However, QUB Professor Stephen Smartt, said: "We observed it and thought: 'Nah, it doesn't look like a supernova to us.'"
Prof Smartt is the leader and principal investigator of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) project, based in Chile.
"We've a big group at Queen's," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme.
"We work in the School of Maths and Physics at Queen's and our speciality is looking for things that move - like asteroids that might hit the earth, or things that flash, which might be supernova or these black holes."
He said the light "puzzled us for months" but based on their telescopic observations, the QUB team proposed a new explanation for the object in a galaxy far, far away.
It believes the sun-like star wandered too close to the black hole and was "ripped apart", a phenomenon known in astronomy as a "tidal disruption event".
In the process, the star was "spaghettified and some of the material was converted into huge amounts of radiated light," said a QUB statement.
"This gave the event the appearance of a very bright supernova explosion, even though the star would not have become a supernova on its own as it did not have enough mass."
Prof Smart told Evening Extra that a black hole was the "densest form of matter we know".
"If you could take every person on earth and squeeze them on to a teaspoon - that would be the density of a neutron star, or neutron star material, and a black hole is probably 10 times denser than that.
"So it's an object from which light cannot escape, it's an object that is denser than any known matter that we can see or test in the universe."
He said the formation of black holes was still a mystery.
"We think they formed in the very early universe, as galaxies started forming, and there's quite a lot of evidence for that," he said.
"For example, our own Milky Way galaxy has got a massive black hole which is about one million times the mass of the Sun, and we known that because we can see stars going round and we can measure their velocities, so we know the mass must be there."
Prof Smartt paid tribute to Dr Giorgos Leloudas, from Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science, who published the research on Monday in Nature Astronomy.
"Our results indicate that the event was probably caused by a rapidly spinning supermassive black hole as it destroyed a low-mass star," said Dr Leloudas.
To date, this type of event has only been observed about 10 times, but Dr Leloudas added a note of caution on the findings.
"Even with all the collected data we cannot say with 100% certainty that the ASASSN-15lh event was a tidal disruption event, but it is by far the most likely explanation."
Pendyffryn Medical Group in Prestatyn announced it was terminating its contract as it was unable to recruit enough doctors to continue to run it.
The local board has had to take over three other practices in north Wales in the last 18 months due to GP shortages.
A doctors' leader said it was an "emerging trend".
Practices can be run by GPs who run them as their own business or by GPs employed by health boards directly, such as three practices in north Wales which are being run by Betsi Cadwaladr health board - in Wrexham, Conwy county and Gwynedd.
Earlier this year, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) in Wales highlighted a "desperate workplace crisis" with too many GPs leaving and a slump in the young medical graduates looking to train as GPs.
"It is a crisis but there are solutions," said Dr Rebecca Payne, chair-elect at RCGP in Wales, referring to health boards managing practices directly.
She said the Welsh government, which announced a range of proposals including an extra £4.5m towards recruitment and training, was moving in the right direction although action was needed sooner rather than later.
Analysis by Owain Clarke, BBC Wales health correspondent
Several GPs I've talked to describe it as a "perfect storm".
They say they're working harder than ever - partly because they're seeing more elderly patients who often have several health problems at the same time. As demand goes up also we see increasing concern about staff shortages especially in north and west Wales and some valleys communities.
It's not uncommon to hear of surgeries closing, or having to be taken over by health boards who have to employ temporary staff to keep them open. Several things are going on here.
A generation of GPs are retiring - with almost a quarter of GPs in Wales aged over 55.
Younger doctors often choose to stay near to where they trained at medical school or are drawn to the big cities, or even to work abroad.
Meanwhile, the traditional model, where a GP or a group of GPs own and run their own surgeries, is becoming less attractive to those who don't want the burden of paper work, don't want to commit to working in one place or want to work flexibly.
And, it's claimed, there's a perception that general practice isn't popular perhaps as specialist medicine or hospital care.
None of these issues are confined to Wales. Yet the effect here can be more pronounced, especially when you consider Wales has a higher proportion of elderly people than many other parts of the UK with many choosing to move to rural areas to retire - the very parts of Wales where the shortages are most acute.
In a joint statement with the Pendyffryn Medical Group, Betsi Cadwaladr health board said: "The health board is responsible for making sure that people in north Wales have access to these services.
"It is therefore working closely with Pendyffryn Medical Practice to plan how their patients will continue to get the local services that they need from April 2016 onwards."
A Welsh government spokesman said: "We are pleased the practice is working with the health board to ensure services are maintained while new management arrangements are put in place.
"We recognise the importance of primary health care, which is why this year we have allocated £40m new funding to work together with our new Primary Care Workforce Plan."
Geoff Ryall-Harvey, chief officer for patient watchdog the North Wales Community Health Council, said increasing numbers of salaried GPs to run practices for health boards was only one way forward and other solutions should also be indentified.
He said the situation going forward at Pendyffryn Medical Group would be watched by other GPs given it was regarded as the biggest practice in north Wales.
Gunmen shot Nisio Gomes in Mato Grosso do Sul and took away his body, which is still missing.
Police only confirmed his murder last week, after finding that a witness who claimed to have seen him alive had been paid to give false evidence.
Mr Gomes, 59, led a Guarani group which had returned to its land after being evicted by ranchers.
A spokesperson for the federal police in Ponta Pora, in the southern state of Mato Grosso do Sul, said they had arrested 10 people belonging to a private security firm suspected of having been hired to attack Mr Gomes's camp.
The spokesperson said another eight people, six of them landowners, were being held on suspicion of masterminding the attack.
Confession
The police official said there had been a breakthrough in the investigation into Mr Gomes's disappearance when two suspects confessed in exchange for a more lenient sentence.
The suspects said they worked for a private security firm and described being hired by a group of eight people to murder the indigenous leader.
Members of Nisio Gomes's Guarani Kaiowa group had all along described how masked gunmen had broken into their camp and shot their leader in the head, chest, arms and legs, before loading his body into a truck.
Police officials said that "at first we had doubts because there was very little blood in the camp and we had a witness saying he had seen Chief Gomes in Paraguay."
They said their enquiries showed the witness had been paid to give false evidence.
Medical examiners further said that Mr Gomes could have had a cardiac arrest, which would have explained the small amount of blood at the scene.
The Guarani are the largest indigenous group in Brazil, with approximately 46,000 members spread over seven states.
They say they are frequently forced from their ancestral land by farmers, and receive little or no protection from local authorities.
The first boat, which signalled for help early on Thursday, had nearly 50 people on board.
The second overcrowded boat, which sank much later, had about 400 passengers.
Officials said about 201 people had been rescued by the Libyan coast guard but many people appeared trapped in the hold when the boat capsized.
A detention facility for illegal migrants in Sabratha, west of Tripoli, received 147 people, an official told Reuters.
At least 100 bodies were taken to a hospital in Zuwara, west of Tripoli, a resident told the BBC.
The victims included migrants from Syria, Bangladesh and several sub-Saharan African countries, the resident said, but the information could not be independently verified.
About 2,400 migrants have died trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, the UN says.
More than 100,000 others have landed in Italy, whilst another 160,000 have crossed to Greece.
On Wednesday, the bodies of at least 51 people were found in the hold of a stricken ship off Libya's coast.
They were picked up by a Swedish coastguard ship that also rescued more than 400 survivors - among at least 3,000 migrants saved that day.
The Swedish ship, Poseidon, docked in the port of Palermo, Sicily, on Thursday.
On Saturday, about 4,400 migrants were rescued from boats off the coast of Libya, in one of the biggest single-day operations mounted to date.
Many of those who attempt the journey are fleeing conflict or persecution, and set off from Libya in unseaworthy boats organised by smugglers. Libya has had two competing governments for the past year and is largely ruled by rival militias.
The Libyan coastguard has limited capacity to undertake large-scale rescue missions at sea, BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad reports from Tunis.
Meanwhile, in Austria, police said they hoped to soon establish how many people died in a parked lorry near the Hungarian border. They suspected it could be as many as 50 people, almost certainly migrants.
The issue of the influx of migrants into Europe through land routes was raised at a summit in Vienna on Thursday.
Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz, highlighted the need to deal with the large number of migrants heading to the EU via Western Balkan nations.
He stressed the "whole idea of the European Union without borders inside is in danger" if the bloc's external borders were not secure.
Sky said operating profit for the nine months to the end of March was £1.025bn, up from £854m a year earlier.
The broadcaster, which merged with Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia last year, reported record third quarter growth in customers in Germany and Austria.
Sky UK posted the highest third quarter rise in users and the lowest churn - customers leaving - in 11 years.
Across the group, Sky added 242,000 net new customers in the third quarter. That was almost 70% up on the same period a year earlier.
But the "stand out" performance came from its UK market which saw a 41% increase in net new customers in the third quarter to 127,000.
The rise takes Sky's total number of customers across Europe to 20.8 million.
Sky said it also grew paid-for subscription products by one million, taking total product sales to 3.8 million for the year to date.
Chief executive Jeremy Darroch said: "As these results demonstrate, our teams are working well together right across the new Sky.
"Five months in, our integration plans are progressing well and we are well positioned for the expanded growth opportunity ahead."
Sky said group revenues for the nine month period grew by 5% to £8.453bn. The UK and Ireland saw revenues rise by 6% to £5.824bn, in Germany they rose 9% to £1.037bn, while revenues in Italy were flat at £1.592bn.

The Dragons are subject to a takeover bid from the WRU who have said they see Rodney Parade 'as a rugby venue.'
The League Two club has a lease to use the ground - and have first call on the venue if they remain in their current division - until 2023.
"The situation you have got with County is they have an agreement," Newport RFC chairman Will Godfrey explained.
In 2013 the Exiles agreed a 10-year lease to use the stadium after gaining promotion to the Football League from the Conference (now the National League).
"I haven't spoken to Newport County. We are the union of [rugby] clubs and we have put several million [pounds] in," WRU chief Martyn Phillips said at the launch of the proposed takeover.
"It is as rugby venue. We will have to talk to Newport County about where that leaves them.
"They have a licence to play there and we are aware about that. We would like to put a 4G pitch in.
"The fact we are putting a few million in means we get to call the shots."
The Football League does not allow teams to play on 4G pitches.
Godfrey says both Newport County and Newport Squash Club, who are also based at Rodney Parade, are protected under their current agreements and says the WRU have been made aware of that fact.

"The situation you have got with both the County and Newport squash club is they have got agreements," he confirmed.
"The WRU have been fully privy to what has been involved in those agreements.
"Those agreements will continue to stand."
Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies says if the takeover is ratified at a Newport RFC shareholders' meeting on 9 May, he will ensure discussions between the Union and Newport County.
The Exiles are already selling season tickets for next season on the basis of playing at Rodney Parade.
"We will put the two parties together and they will pick up (discussions)," Davies said.
"There has been full transparency in terms of the lease agreements that have been put in place.
"I think the Union now will contact the individual parties and pick up the discussions."
The 135 members have the power to sack interim President Michel Djotodia, also in Chad, who is under pressure to quit.
His seizure of power last year has led to 20% of the population fleeing their homes amid fighting between Christian and Muslim militias.
However, his spokesman has insisted he will not resign.
Leaders from the 10-nation Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) suspended their talks on Thursday as they awaited the arrival of the lawmakers in the Chadian capital N'Djamena.
ECCAS Secretary-General Ahmat Allami said members of the National Transitional Council (CNT) had been flown in at short notice to decide the leadership of their nation.
"No-one can speak on behalf of the Central Africans," he said.
Profile: Michel Djotodia
"That's why we have asked the CNT and representatives of political parties to come to N'Djamena to decide on the future of the transitional institutions."
Mr Allami said earlier that "regime change" was not the goal of the meeting.
The lawmakers met regional leaders while Mr Djotodia held separate talks with allies from his former Seleka rebel alliance, AFP news agency reported.
Under a deal brokered by regional powers last year, the CNT is charged with choosing a transitional leader to take CAR to elections due at the end of 2014. It formally elected Mr Djotodia to his position as interim president last April.
Chadian President Idriss Deby opened the meeting with a call for "concrete and decisive action" to stop the violence that has killed more than 1,000 people in the past month.
The talks are expected to continue on Friday, Chadian sources said.
Seleka rebels in CAR staged a coup last March, installing Mr Djotodia as the country's first Muslim leader.
The then-President Francois Bozize, from CAR's majority Christian population, was forced into exile and the country has since descended into chaos.
More than a million of the CAR's 4.6 million people have fled their homes.
The UN has warned of an impending humanitarian disaster.
Although Mr Djotodia has officially disbanded the Seleka rebels, he has proved unable to keep them in check.
Their actions have prompted Christians to form vigilante groups, sparking a deadly cycle of revenge attacks.
The AU has some 4,000 peacekeepers in the country and France has deployed 1,600 troops to try to end the violence.
With some companies paying £16m a year to protect themselves online, it will tackle a skill shortage in the area.
The first students will start at the University of South Wales' Newport campus in October.
It follows predictions four and a half million people will be needed worldwide by 2019, and is supported by Welsh Government funding.
Computer forensics and computer security undergraduates will work with businesses to identify cyber challenges. If this is successful, the course will be developed into a full-time cyber security degree.
The university's vice chancellor Prof Julie Lydon described cyber crime as "one of the four major national security threats" facing the country.
Details of alleged incidents have been broadcast by the country's public broadcaster, ABC television.
Police in Victoria state have confirmed they are investigating several allegations against the cardinal.
Cardinal Pell's office says he "unequivocally rejects any allegations of sexual abuse against him".
Read the full statement from Cardinal George Pell's office.
Two men, now aged in their forties, from Cardinal Pell's home town of Ballarat said he had touched them inappropriately in the 1970s by grasping them around the groin to throw them into the air while swimming.
In a separate incident alleged to have taken place in the 1980s, a man said he had found it "very odd" to find the cardinal standing naked in front of three boys in the changing rooms at a local surf club.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported another complaint from the 1990s involving two teenage choirboys. One of the complainants has since died, the ABC said, but no details were provided.
Cardinal Pell, who is treasurer to the Vatican and is based in the Vatican City, declined to be interviewed and said he had never abused anyone.
His office said in a statement: "Claims that he has sexually abused anyone, in any place, at any time in his life are totally untrue and completely wrong."
The ABC said the information contained in its report had not been leaked by police.
"The report was the result of our own on-the-ground journalism over the course of months, which included finding people who would be willing to talk to us on camera," the statement read.
Victoria Police chief Graham Ashton said it was clear from the ABC report that "the source of that information was from the [alleged] victims".
"We haven't provided the ABC with materials," Mr Ashton told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
"Anyone that saw the show last night, the victims, you could see their emotion, they are traumatised from what they are saying has happened to them, and are talking to the media about that."
In February, Cardinal Pell gave evidence to an Australian royal commission about whether he knew paedophiles were active in churches under his watch.
He was a priest in Ballarat and lived in a seminary with a notorious paedophile priest, Gerald Ridsdale, in the early 1970s.
Cardinal Pell, who was not accused of sexual abuse, denied knowing about paedophile priests being active in the Ballarat diocese.
"The Church has made enormous mistakes and is working to remedy those but the Church in many places, certainly in Australia, has mucked things up, has let people down," he said.
He matched critical acclaim with mass market popularity and wrote more than 25 books throughout his career.
He was best known for his novels The Wasp Factory, The Crow Road and Complicity.
In recent weeks, the Scottish author, who announced he was dying from terminal gall bladder cancer in April, had posted a series of blogs about his disease.
His final novel, The Quarry, which is due to be published on 20 June, also reflects on the emotional and physical trauma wrought by cancer.
Banks, born in Dunfermline, Fife, on 16 February 1954, was an only child.
His father was a naval officer in the Admiralty and his mother was a professional ice skater.
Banks decided to become a writer at the age of 11 and wrote his first novel at the age of 16. He studied English, philosophy, and psychology at the University of Stirling, before moving to London and living in the south of England until 1988.
He later moved back to Fife, where he lived next door to his parents for more than 10 years.
His debut novel, The Wasp Factory, was published in 1984 to a mixture of critical acclaim and controversy.
The book, which established Banks as an original voice in Scottish fiction, told the story of 16-year-old Frank Cauldhame, a self-confessed multiple murderer living alone with his father.
It was reviewed by the Irish Times as a "work of unparalleled depravity".
"I was a complete unknown, so although some of the reviews were quite bad, the fact it was reviewed at all was a great thing," he told BBC 6 Music's Cerys Matthews in 2009.
The book was ranked as one of the best 100 books of the 20th Century in a 1997 poll conducted by book chain Waterstones and Channel 4.
Banks' subsequent novels explored gothic settings, contemporary politics, pop culture and technology.
His 1987 book Espedair Street, a tale about a burned-out rock star, and which has shades of Pink Floyd's The Wall, was adapted for BBC radio in 1998. It was narrated by Paul Gambaccini and starred John Gordon Sinclair.
Complicity (1993) became a film, starring Jonny Lee Miller, in 2000.
His first science fiction book, Consider Phlebas, came out in 1987, this time using his middle initial - Iain M Banks.
Last month, the author told the BBC's Kirsty Wark the genre gave him "enormous freedom... you can just go anywhere and do anything".
He said it had been a "privilege" to be able to have a career that allowed him to write both science fiction and mainstream literature and he was "proud" of all the books he had written.
"There [are] ones that I think I could have done better with. I still think Canal Dreams is the runt of the litter but I'm still very, very proud of The Wasp Factory," he said.
The announcement of his illness was laced with typical dark humour, with the author stating he was "officially very poorly" and that he had asked his long-term partner Adele to do him the honour of "becoming my widow".
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "I just took it as bad luck, basically.
"It did strike me almost immediately, my atheist sort of thing kicked in and I thought ha, if I was a God-botherer, I'd be thinking, why me God? What have I done to deserve this? And I thought at least I'm free of that, at least I can simply treat it as bad luck and get on with it."
Politically minded, Banks was an open supporter of Scottish independence. In 2004, he campaigned to have former Prime Minister Tony Blair impeached for the Iraq war.
Following his diagnosis, Banks withdrew from all planned public engagements.
But writing on Banksophilia, a website set up by a friend, in April, the author said he was "deeply flattered and touched" by the messages of support he had received.
"Good grief! - what an outpouring of love, affection and respect. I honestly had no idea. I feel treasured."
In 2008, The Times named Banks as 38th in its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
In May, the author said he did not have many regrets in his life.
"I've had a brilliant life and I think I've been more lucky than unlucky, even including the news of the cancer. I've written 29 books. I'm leaving a substantial body of work behind me. Whether that'll survive, who knows, but I can be quite proud of that and I am," he said.
The 1988 champion, 59, starting at five over, dropped four shots on his front nine before a quintuple bogey on 11 and a double bogey on 14 left him 16 over.
Fellow Scot Russell Knox also missed the cut - a birdie at the last was no consolation as he ended eight over.
After an opening 76, Knox dropped four shots on the front nine before carding three straight bogeys from the 12th.
The cut came at six over, meaning defending champion Danny Willett will also miss the weekend after he finished seven over.

The action by members of the Irish National Teachers Organisation (INTO) was set to include a demonstration at Parliament Buildings at Stormont.
The strike was called over an ongoing pay dispute.
It has been delayed as "a mark of respect and recognition of Mr McGuinness's contribution to education", said INTO.
"Martin McGuiness was the first education minister of the devolved era and he made a hugely positive impact on the entire education sector," said the union's Northern Secretary Gerry Murphy.
"I want to extend the sympathies of the INTO to the McGuinness family, to his wife Bernie, his children and grandchildren and the wider family circle.
"His service as Education Minister was characterised by an intelligence and warmth that was accompanied by real investments in both the schools estate and the educational workforce.
"Martin attended a number of INTO Congresses and Northern Conferences. His contributions to these gatherings were insightful and at times challenging and was always warmly received," he added.
One leading scientist has even described the chemicals as "a frozen primordial soup".
This supports the theory that comets may have seeded the early Earth with the ingredients for life.
The findings came after the lander, known as Philae, touched down on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko 67P in November.
It was dropped by the European Space Agency's Rosetta "mothership" in the climactic stage of a ten-year mission.
Results from the lander's seven instruments are published in a special collection of papers in the journal Science.
One team running a device called COSAC found no fewer than 16 organic compounds, four of which had not been known to exist on comets before.
Prof Ian Wright of the Open University, who leads another instrument, Ptolemy, said the results were "really interesting".
"I see this cometary material that we're analysing as frozen primordial soup. It's the kind of stuff that if you had it, and warmed it up somehow, and put it in the right environment, with the right conditions, you may eventually get life forming out of it.
"What we may be looking at here is our abiological ancestral material - this is stuff that went into the mix to produce life.
"In many ways it's quite a humbling thing to be working on, because this is life before life happened."
One of Ptolemy's most significant discoveries is of a compound known as polyoxymethylene, a string of relatively simple molecules forming a polymer of formaldehyde.
Prof Wright said: "The simplest unit of this polymer is a single carbon, two hydrogens and a single oxygen, and this then repeats itself. That same ratio of elements occur in carbohydrates and sugars so it's very interesting and implicated in the biological cycle we have on Earth."
In a separate paper, Fred Goesmann and colleagues describe the 16 compounds found by their COSAC instrument, and their possible importance for the development of life.
Hydroxyethanal is "an efficient initiator in the prebiotic formation of sugars", they write.
And methanenitrile is "a key molecule in the prebiotic synthesis of amino acids and nucleobases and even offers an elegant pathway to sugars".
The authors conclude that the complexity of the comet's chemical makeup, and the presence of organics containing nitrogen, "imply that early solar system chemistry fosters the formation of prebiotic material in noticeable concentrations".
None of the papers suggests the presence of more sophisticated compounds such as amino acids - though further analysis of the findings may yield that.
Professor Charles Cockell, director of the UK Astrobiology Centre, was not involved in the mission but told the BBC the results were "very significant".
"Finding simple organic compounds on a comet out there in space, showing us that they could have been delivered to the early Earth, early in the history of our planet, is tremendously exciting.
"It gives us better ideas about how those building blocks of life may have formed and where they may have come from.
"It confirms there is organic chemistry throughout the universe, that carbon-containing compounds, some of which are very complex, could be being formed on comets in our solar system."
Prof Mark McCaughrean, the European Space Agency's senior science advisor, told BBC News: "Imagine you want to build a house and you go to a forest, where there are trees, mud and rocks. You could make a house out of that, but it would be hard work.
"Well, we've now discovered the comet is more like a hardware shop - lots of pre-made building blocks, like door frames, bricks etc. It gives you a head start.
"One of the big questions, though, is this material made on the comet? Or is it made first in space and then incorporated into the comet? We don't know the answer to that yet."
The data published today was gathered during Philae's chaotic landing on the comet. Ptolemy had been programmed to switch on ten minutes after touching down.
Prof Wright told the BBC: "The idea was we'd just have time for a sniff of the air - there was no great reason to do it, it was to check the instrument had survived landing, an insurance policy to get some data as soon as possible."
As things turned out, Philae did not anchor itself to its original landing zone but bounced back up which meant that Ptolemy's 'sniff' took place while the spacecraft was airborne.
Despite this, the instrument successfully got readings of whatever material had entered its vent pipe.
"We've just got a snapshot of some dust that was flying around as we landed but we've got some very significant data," Prof Wright said.
After a long silence, the Philae lander made contact last month but the link has been intermittent and the spacecraft's fate is unclear.
One theory is that it may have been dislodged or tipped over by a jet of gas emerging from the rocks beneath it.
And gas jets are becoming more intense as the comet approaches the Sun - with its closest approach, known as perihelion, coming up shortly on 13 August.
Another idea is that because Philae is believed to be sitting at the foot of a cliff, it may have been hit by falling debris, dislodged as the surface warms.
But those involved in the mission are determined to remain optimistic that the lander has survived and will resume contact.
Even if it does not, several loads of data, collected and sent back in the Philae's first 60 hours on the comet, are still being analysed and have yet to be published.
It says "hundreds of assailants" attacked a military post in the south-eastern town of Bosso, on the Nigerian border, on Friday night.
A counter-attack on Saturday morning allowed government troops to retake all positions in Bosso, the ministry says.
It says there were several dead and injured "on the enemy's side".
Boko Haram has not commented on the Nigerien defence ministry's statement.
The Islamist group is based in Nigeria but is being tackled by a multinational force, including soldiers from Niger.

Increasing numbers of young graduates are tempted by UK salaries up to three times what they might earn at home.
A body representing UK recruitment companies has admitted a few agencies "misrepresent" the work they offer.
Health Education England says it is increasing the number of nurse training places in England to fill NHS gaps.
In an HEE film, used to attract EU nurses, new arrivals to the NHS in the West Midlands are asked why they left Spain and Portugal.
They refer to the career and skills opportunities in the UK - as well as higher salaries.
But Portugal has its own nursing shortages.
The vice-president of Portugal's nursing regulator, Dr Bruno Gomes, told BBC News: "Some recruitment firms have very aggressive tactics.
"The companies - mainly from the UK - come to the nursing schools, and hold big conferences in the fourth year of the degree.
"Among the conditions they offer is free language training, and sometimes accommodation for three or even six months."
Spanish Council of Nursing president Dr Maximo Jurado told BBC News: "They lie - they fool nurses.
"Perhaps a group of nurses go to a country, rent a flat, and they think they are going to work at a particular hospital.
"Then that company organising temporary work sends nurses one day to a hospital in one city, another day to a different hospital in a different city."
Spain sends the largest number of nurses to the UK - about 2,000 last year.
Dr Jurado added: "There is a more general problem of poor planning by the NHS.
"Any health service in any country has to do appropriate planning for the future - because otherwise nurses will have to be recruited from other countries.
"We are all trying to plan for the future, in order not to have such a big gap."
Sometimes, the NHS enters into formal overseas agreements with local staffing boards - 150 nurses from Venice came to three hospitals in Manchester in this way.
Dr Genarro Rocco, who helps lead Italy's nursing colleges, said: "We have had just a few complaints, but these are from nurses who were told they would be working in a hospital - and they end up providing just basic care instead.
"On other occasions, they were maybe getting a lower salary than what was promised."
Samantha Hurley, from the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (Apsco), said: ""We are aware that misrepresentation can happen when recruitment firms engage professional healthcare workers from other EU countries.
"The issue is one of a lack of understanding of the process.
"In order to practise in the UK, healthcare professionals must register with the appropriate professional body and obtain a Pin number.
"Without which, for instance, a band-five nurse would not be able to work as such and would be in a position where they had to accept a band-two healthcare assistant role instead."
Apsco says foreign staff need comprehensive preparation and induction - as one study indicated up to a third returned home within a year.
Ms Hurley added: "We believe that the vast majority of recruitment firms which provide international staff are doing so in an ethical manner and are ensuring workers are properly inducted.
"But a minority of recruitment firms, based not only in the UK but also in other EU countries, are shipping over large quantities of workers without the appropriate support."
Having suffered the semi-final heartache of the 2015 World Cup in Canada, they have a chance to go one step further and even become the first senior England team to win a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup.
Taking home the Euro 2017 trophy has been a stated aim from head coach Mark Sampson and, as the highest-ranked team remaining, his team may not have a better chance of glory.
But what have been the crucial components that have propelled this England side to the brink of a major trophy once more?
Sampson has already become the first England boss since Sir Alf Ramsey to reach two major tournament semi-finals following the men's triumph at the 1966 World Cup and reaching the last four of the 1968 European Championship.
And the 34-year-old Welshman has revolutionised a Lionesses team that were at rock bottom after Euro 2013, where they crashed out at the group stage.
Having replaced authoritarian former boss Hope Powell after that tournament, he has been a breath of fresh air to the players, by empowering them and "treating them like adults", according to one.
He is more approachable too. Having appeared on an old episode of the BBC gameshow Pointless, the kit man recently showed it to the team during a quiz night, and they ended up laughing at Sampson as he struggled with the questions. "I didn't really understand the concept," he says sheepishly.
Yet having previously achieved success for Women's Super League club Bristol Academy, players were still questioning his inexperience at the start of his reign.
Despite his knack for chopping and changing the side, the bronze medal at the 2015 World Cup soon won doubters over, and he addressed long-standing psychology and fitness concerns.
Sampson is unconventional at times, choosing to name his squad three months early and his barbs towards opposition teams - accusing Spain of "dark arts" and the French manager of being "wet behind the ears" - have raised eyebrows.
He has risked his reputation, but so far he has shown that his judgement and decision-making are worthy of top-level international football.
One of the players Sampson brought in from the wilderness was Jodie Taylor, a striker ignored by Powell because she chose to play in the US where the football was of a higher standard.
Sampson soon addressed that paradoxical choice, and gave Taylor the belief she was desperate for, awarding her an England debut at the age of 28.
Sampson took another gamble, by selecting Taylor for the World Cup despite carrying a knee injury but she repaid his faith by scoring a crucial goal in the quarter-final win over hosts Canada.
And after another injury threatened to scupper her chances of making Euro 2017, Sampson still picked her despite a lack of games for her club Arsenal.
Now she is top scorer in the Netherlands with five goals, sleeping with the matchball after her hat-trick against Scotland and likely to win the Golden Boot, Sampson's assertion that he "always knew Taylor was world class" seems justified.
"I want to thank the medics for getting me in a good place, and Mark for still believing in me and having confidence in me because without that I wouldn't be here," she said after the Scotland win.

After banning women's football for 50 years, the Football Association's decision to introduce a semi-professional league in 2011 was long overdue in many minds.
Backing clubs with funds to pay players allowed them to become full-time footballers, avoiding previous scenarios where they would fit training around day jobs.
The FA also awarded central contracts to England players - now at about £25,000 a year - to supplement their club income which can now reach up to £50,000 per annum.
But it is the full-time training, and the chance to rest afterwards which is the richest reward.
In 2016-17, the FA spent £14m on women's football, more than any other European association, and that has helped Sampson recruit more than a dozen staff out at Euro 2017, including performance coaches, psychologists and video analysts.
That sort of budget puts pressure on the team to succeed, but so far they have delivered.
The route to the top of women's football has not been easy for many of the players in the England squad. Some of the older ones will tell you about coming from an era when they were laughed at for playing football, or even bullied because of it.
Then there are the personal stories. Fara Williams is England's record caps holder with 164 appearances but had periods of her life when she was homeless. Jade Moore found two holes in her heart through a routine screening but is one of the fittest players in the team, while Casey Stoney spent years hiding her sexuality yet came out in 2013 and now has twins with her partner.
Sampson tapped into this before the World Cup, showing his players that they were "street-fighters" for already reaching the top of English football, and he has used that message to inspire his players as they beat Germany for the first time at the World Cup, and France for the first time in 43 years in their quarter-final in the Netherlands.
"We do a lot of work off the pitch to bring us together," said right-back Lucy Bronze. "You don't have to be the best of friends, but have some sort of relationship, so that when you are on the pitch, you have each other's backs, no matter what."
If that was the social and psychological evolution of his team, the physical one came before Euro 2017 when a former rugby union fitness coach was brought in, encouraged them to lift weights in the gym three times a week and improved their fitness by 23%. The result? What Sampson calls the "fittest team in the tournament", and there has been little evidence to suggest he's wrong.

Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis remembers being in the tunnel for the Euro 2009 final against Germany and says the players went out expecting to lose. The result was a 6-2 defeat.
Back then, the gulf between the two teams was immense.
But this England team is driven by a core of younger players who won the Under-19 European Championship together in 2009, including Bronze, Jordan Nobbs, Jade Moore and Toni Duggan.
And Bronze has hinted that they have had to breathe confidence into the more senior players, who may have been scarred by past experiences.
"The older players have more to be confident about," said Bronze. "I just don't think they realise it."
For her, glorious failure in the semi-final is not an option. "We definitely haven't achieved anything yet," she said. "Our expectation coming into the tournament was that we would reach the final and come home with the trophy. If we were to lose, we would be devastated."

Based on their world ranking, England are clear favourites as their position (fifth) is seven places above the hosts (12th), 10 above Denmark (15th) and significantly higher than Austria in 24th.
They beat the Netherlands 1-0 last November, and in the Euro 2009 semi-final. And the Lionesses earned recent wins over Denmark (2-1) in June and Austria (3-0) in April.
In some ways it is England's to lose, but Brown-Finnis spins it the other way.
"This is England's to win now," she told BBC Sport. "Some might say that brings its own pressure but that is not affecting this team. They are not playing with hope or ambition, they are playing with a belief that they will win."
Nottinghamshire County Council wants to bar its 9,000 employees from smoking during work time.
The ban would prevent staff in uniform smoking on their way to and from work, and also extends to e-cigarettes.
Public sector union Unison said the rules would be unenforceable, but the council said it has a "duty of care to protect the health of employees".
The local authority said the ban, to include all buildings, land and vehicles, was aimed at boosting its workers' health, increasing time spent working and reducing levels of sick leave.
Its stance on e-cigarettes would be open to review pending legislation to officially license them, it said.
The council's deputy director of public health John Tomlinson said smoking was still "public health's number one enemy" and the local authority was committed to taking action.
He added: "We are trying to be a supportive employer and have a duty of care to protect the health of our employees as part of a wider remit to take a leading role in promoting better health in Nottinghamshire."
Neighbouring Gedling Borough Council is also proposing similar measures for its employees.
Leicester City Council introduced a ban on staff smoking in working time in 2007, but they can smoke during their lunch breaks.
Smoking breaks are not allowed at Derby City Council either.
Brian Fitzpatrick, Unison services conditions officer, said: "We're supportive of public health and we haven't got a stance on this, but we are balloting members asking whether they would be for or against."
Employees get a short morning and afternoon break, but no smoking will be allowed during these periods under the ban.
Smoking will be allowed during lunch breaks but not in uniform or anywhere near council property, according to the union. It said staff should be offered more help to quit.
Mr Fitzpatrick said: "Say you work in highways, if you want to smoke, you need to take all your uniform off and go as far away from site as possible and have a cigarette and then come back.
"If you're in the parks department, you won't be able to - even when you're outside.
"I don't see yet how they could enforce it."
Nottinghamshire County Council declined to comment on how it planned to enforce the ban, and what the consequences for staff breaking the rules would be.
It is currently consulting on the proposals.
The Academy Awards pledged to diversify its membership after complaints about the lack of ethnic diversity among this year's nominees.
The director said: "If a ruckus had not been raised, I believe the Academy would not have made those changes."
All 20 actors nominated this year for a best actor or supporting actor award are white.
In January, Lee - together with Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith - publicly said they would not attend the ceremony in protest.
Their comments prompted a number of high-profile Hollywood figures to join the debate and a social media campaign "Oscars So White" was launched.
In response, the Academy - which hands out the Oscar honours - announced it would double the number of women and ethnic minority members by 2020.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said: "The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up.
"These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition."
Actor Don Cheadle called the measures "a step in the right direction" while nominee Matt Damon added the industry had "a long, long, long way to go".
Discussing the controversy at the Berlin International Film Festival, Spike Lee said: "It was worth it. A week later they changed everything up."
"That would not have happened if people kept quiet."

The scheme will help people from abroad who are suffering from the effects of poverty.
Chris Page has been meeting asylum seekers living in Belfast to investigate why the need is there.
The BBC Radio Ulster documentary Nowhere to Go will be broadcast on Sunday 16 February 2014.
Twenty-four people were elected to serve in the House of Keys - the lower chamber of a parliament first established by Viking settlers more than 1,000 years ago.
The first historical references to Tynwald -the world's oldest continuously sitting parliament - can be found in the Chronicles of Mann.
The Latin manuscript, held at the British Library in London, makes reference to the original Tynwald meetings which were established sometime between the 11th and 14th Century.
The document was written at Rushen Abbey and is one of the most valuable sources of Manx history.
It tells the story of the Viking settlement on the Isle of Man which brought together Scandinavian Paganism and indigenous Christianity.
Despite this potentially volatile merger, experts tell us it was a relatively peaceful transition.
Andy Johnson from Manx National Heritage (MNH) said: "There is no evidence pointing to a bloody clash of culture.
"Instead the Vikings seem to have married into the population and exerted their influence that way.
"They absorbed Christianity from the indigenous population and very quickly they assimilated themselves.
"At the same time though, they did hang on to their language, place names and other traditions."
One such tradition introduced islanders to the concept of early democracy, played out in a ceremony which still exists today.
The Vikings established an annual public open-air meeting held at the height of summer.
In old Norse this gathering was called Thingvollr - 'thing' meaning assembly and 'vollr' meaning field.
The purpose of the meeting was to settle disputes between neighbours, something which morphed from a town meeting into what we would now call a parliament.
A similar event, Tynwald Day, is still held every year on Tynwald Hill in St. John's.
"Archaeologically speaking, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that this area of the island is important," said Mr Johnson.
"There is a Bronze Age burial ground nearby and if you imagine away the buildings you can get a sense of being cradled by the hills at a coming together of route ways to the North, South, East and West - it's like being in at a geographical and intellectual crossroads."
Over the years the Viking meeting is thought to have developed into a people's court where new laws were introduced and read out to the nation - a tradition still also observed today.
New laws cannot be introduced on the island until they have been "proclaimed" in both English and Manx on Tynwald Day.
Clerk of Tynwald Roger Phillips said it is a system which retains its legal impact.
"The idea was that if you were not present at the Tynwald meeting and you subsequently broke the law you had no defence.
"Even today, if a law is not proclaimed on the hill during the Tynwald ceremony it will lapse - that is a rather pleasing connection to our Viking ancestors.
"Everyone was expected to talk about how to end disputes - this was a very important part of keeping the peace and the beginnings of a very early form of democracy."
The Tynwald ceremony has continued unchanged, except in detail, for more than 1,000 years and for this reason Tynwald can claim to be the "longest continuous parliament" in the world.
Many other Thingvollr meetings were established in Scandinavia but none have endured.
"Its continued existence is of fundamental importance to the identity of the Isle of Man," explained Mr Phillips.
"Tynwald is the sole reason the Isle of Man never became a part of England - in the 18th Century this was certainly was on the cards.
"Without it the island may have been incorporated into an English county - somewhere like Cheshire.
"The fact that Tynwald still exists today means we don't look to Westminster- the UK is not entirely irrelevant to the island - but it is a neighbour rather than central government," he added.
It is this feature of Manx governance which attracts attention from all over the world.
The Death Row Records founder, accompanied by his lawyer, handed himself into police on Friday morning.
He was arrested on suspicion of murder after his pick-up truck hit two men, leaving one of them dead, on Thursday.
He is being held in West Hollywood on bail of $2m (£1.3m). His lawyer claims it was an accident and that Knight is an "innocent victim".
James Blatt added that he will get to see the video footage in the next 24 hours.
Suge Knight's friend, Terry Carter, 55, was killed and Cle "Bone" Sloan, 51, injured.
Sheriff spokeswoman Nicole Nishida confirmed police had seen the video but "they have made no such arrangements with the attorney".
Suge Knight, whose real name is Marion Hugh Knight Jr, is due in court on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department.
Mr Blatt seemed to confirm Knight had been driving at the time, but claimed it was an accident and that he was running away from attackers.
"He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape he unfortunately hit two (other) individuals," Blatt said.
"He was in his car trying to escape."
Knight founded Death Row Records in the 1990s, but later declared bankruptcy and the company was sold at auction.
He helped launch the careers of artists including Dr Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
Last August he was shot six times at a nightclub in Los Angeles. No arrests have ever been made.
In November, he pleaded not guilty to a robbery charge filed after a celebrity photographer accused him of stealing her camera in Beverly Hills.
He could face up to 30 years in prison because of previous convictions.
The music boss has previously been convicted of armed robbery and assault with a gun.
He has also served time for violating probation.

Drivers can expect up to two weeks of disruption while work on the Northern Inner Distributor Road (NIDR) occurs.
The work, starting on Wednesday, will see the closure of the northbound carriageway of Staplegrove Road beyond Richmond Road for drainage work.
The one-mile (1.6 km) NIDR will see Staplegrove Road, in the west, linked to Priory Avenue in the east.
The project, which will also see a bridge built over the River Tone and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal close to Priory Fields Business Park, is expected to be completed by the autumn.
Somerset County Council said the road would also help with the regeneration of the Firepool area.
Councillor Harvey Siggs, cabinet member for highways, said: "There will be some disruption, we are still asking everyone to be patient about it, to understand it's the end goal that's really worth having.
"Where we can we are running single lane traffic, but at times we will need to close roads completely."
Officials say nearly 1,700 people have died in the worst-hit states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, where temperatures rose above 45C (113F).
Clouds have formed over some parts of the two states and weather officials say pre-monsoon showers are likely to provide some relief on Friday.
The monsoon is due to reach Kerala, in the south, by the end of May.
It will then sweep across the country.
In the worst-affected state of Andhra Pradesh, where temperatures have hit 47C (117F), more than 1,300 people are reported to have died since 18 May.
The state's top meteorological officer YK Reddy told BBC Hindi that heatwave conditions "have reduced considerably" and temperatures have fallen in all but two districts.
In neighbouring Telangana, where officials say at least 340 people have died from heat-related conditions, temperatures have declined.
"For all practical purposes, the heat wave has now ended in our state," BR Meena, Telangana's disaster management commissioner, told BBC Hindi.
Meanwhile India's public hospitals are struggling to cope with patients of the heatwave.
"I have been posted here for seven years, but I am feeling a lot of heat this year. We have been seeing a dozen patients of heat wave every day," Dr Anjaya of Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Medical Sciences in Andhra Pradesh told the BBC.
Hospitals in the Indian capital Delhi, where temperatures have soared to 45.5C (113.9F) have also seen a large number of patients.
"Hospitals are overflowing with heatstroke victims," Ajay Lekhi, president of the Delhi Medical Association, told AFP news agency.
"Patients are complaining of severe headache and dizziness. They are also showing symptoms of delirium," he said.
Reports said there were long queues outside the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, one of Delhi's largest government-run hospitals.
"Last night there was no electricity for nearly five hours," Seema Sharma told AFP outside the hospital as she waited in line for her four-year-old son to be examined.
"You can imagine what we must have gone through. He just couldn't sleep and kept on crying. Now he has fever as well."
The Delhi-based research organisation Centre for Science and Environment said the high deaths this year could be because of the sudden onset of heat.
"This could be due to the sudden change in temperatures after a prolonged wet February and March that had kept the temperatures cool," said Arjuna Srinidhi, the group's programme manager for climate change.

The 21-year-old, who upset fifth seed Stan Wawrinka on Monday, lost 6-4 6-2 3-6 2-6 6-3 to Belgian Ruben Bemelmans.
The Russian led 2-0 in the decider but became angry at Alves' decisions as he lost five straight games and was docked a point by the umpire.
"I was just frustrated - it has no meaning, I apologise," said Medvedev.
As he was packing up, Medvedev took out his wallet and threw coins at the bottom of the umpire's chair as Alves departed. The world number 49 then left the court without retrieving the money.
He had asked for Alves to be removed in the fifth set but his request was turned down by the match supervisor. Medvedev claims he does not remember what he said during the match.
When asked whether he understood his actions could be interpreted as implying Alves was biased, Medvedev said: "I haven't thought about it and that's not why I did it.
"I was frustrated to lose the match - maybe there were some bad calls, it can happen in sports.
"I was just disappointed and [did] a stupid thing."
Medvedev added it was "not for me to decide" whether he will receive any sanction for his actions.
Bemelmans will face South Africa's Kevin Anderson in the third round.
The officer was taken to hospital after more than 40 officers were called to areas around Abbeydale Road.
Police said the actions were "appalling and extremely dangerous". Five people were arrested.
Elsewhere, a rocket was thrown at a house in Woodhouse wrecking the bathroom and fireworks were also hurled at passing cars.
Nasima Akther, a councillor for Nether Edge, who saw the trouble around Abbeydale Road, criticised the police's handling of the situation.
"Me and a few other volunteers had gone down to try and stop things kicking off," she said.
"We were talking to people and being really tough on them and then another gang came along and that's when the trouble started.
"I called the police but when they turned up they started harassing the volunteers who were trying to calm things down.
"The police seemed to make things worse by not acting quick enough and not being organised."
In a separate incident, South Yorkshire Police tweeted that while they were dealing with a call out in the Parson Cross area, a police vehicle was set on fire.
The force also received several calls about fireworks been thrown into passing cars in Tinsley.
South Yorkshire Police said: "The type of behaviour we have seen will not be tolerated and we would like to reassure people that we will take a very robust approach to anyone involved in using fireworks in a dangerous or anti-social way."
But Bradford's Stuart McCall will have more positives to take from his side's performance than opposite number Bruno Ribeiro as the home side dominated large chunks of the match without being able to supply a finishing touch to their attractive football.
The nearest City came to scoring was in the 12th minute when Billy Clarke saw his shot diverted on to the crossbar by goalkeeper Jak Alnwick.
Twice striker James Hanson just failed to connect with inviting crosses while Clarke again and new signings Nicky Law and Romain Vincelot also went close to breaking the deadlock.
Vale, who included five new signings in their starting line-up, rarely threatened the Bradford goal but almost snatched victory in the last minute of normal time when substitute Christopher Mbamba scuffed his shot with the goal at his mercy from Paulo Tavares' cross.

The Cherries were 3-1 down but fought back to claim a dramatic 4-3 win with an injury-time goal from Nathan Ake.
"It shows we still have that spirit of a Championship team," said Howe, who guided Bournemouth into the top flight.
"When we got promotion we didn't want to lose our honesty, togetherness and never-say-die attitude."
Howe said the win was a "huge day" that he wouldn't forget and that he was proud his players had retained the character he fostered from their days in the lower leagues.
"We needed to protect that. If anything we've enhanced it," Howe added.
Comparisons were immediately drawn with last season's home match against Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton, who had led 2-0, only for Bournemouth to make it 3-3 in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
"It's right up there with the Everton game," Howe said.
"We were in real trouble at half-time [when they trailed 2-0], as Liverpool were excellent and showed their quality, but our players never lost their self-belief.
"For everyone involved with the club, it's a very special day. We'd never been in the Premier League until last season so we're making history."

Bournemouth's inspiration was Scotland Under-21 winger Ryan Fraser, who put in a man-of-the-match display after he came on for the injured Junior Stanislas in the 55th minute.
Within a minute of his introduction Fraser was bundled over for a penalty that Callum Wilson converted, before he scored the Cherries' second, and crossed for Steve Cook to add a third as the hosts set up a grandstand finish.
"Ryan was absolutely magnificent," said Howe. "He's trained like that for the last three or four weeks and has been patient and waited for his chance."
Fraser first burst on the scene as a teenager with Aberdeen, before eyebrows were raised when he swapped the Scottish Premier League for England's lower divisions, joining Bournemouth in January 2013.
"As a very young player, he had to come a long way from home and come to a League One club. So it was a leap of faith and it's paid dividends for him," Howe added.
"We call him the 'Wee Man' - I heard the crowd singing his name which was nice - but he's got fitter and fitter since he's been with us. His physicality can be a strength as he has a low centre of gravity, and it was a great finish for his goal."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was philosophical afterwards, despite his side's implosion to lose a game which they had completely controlled for the first half.
"Even at 2-0 up, we weren't playing too well - the first half wasn't perfect. We kept the ball too long, and passed it too late," the German said.
"Nothing was decided at 2-0. The boys know now we gave it away - it was only because of us that Bournemouth came back. We opened the door, but Bournemouth had to run through it. It's a wonderful story if you're not on the wrong side of it. But we have to accept it and learn from it.
"We are not ice skating - it's not about how it looks. I know we can play football. Nothing happened today apart from losing three points. Everything else is OK.
"I'm not happy, but I am not angry. We made mistakes and missed chances, but I cannot change it any more so why should I be angry?"
Klopp also played down a second-half incident, when he appeared to be warned by referee Bobby Madley after tempers flared in the technical areas.
"There was no issue with Bournemouth. I was, not surprisingly, not happy about the penalty decision," he said.
"It was not possible for me to do nothing but obviously I did too much. I left my box and that was the issue."
And on Saturday morning UK time, Richie McCaw became the most-capped player in Test history when he made his 142nd appearance for world champions New Zealand, breaking the record he jointly held with former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll.
In perhaps the ultimate team game, flanker McCaw has earned his individual record by being the ultimate team man - the one who leads from the front, the one others want to follow.
"I've never seen a man play through what he plays through. The hits he goes through and injuries he plays with that people don't know about," veteran All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu told BBC Sport.
"You wouldn't be able to tell when you see him running out there, he always looks like Richie when he's in the black jersey, you know? And being a good man; a good Kiwi bloke... Skip's a skip."
Former All Blacks winger Rico Gear says it is McCaw's leadership that makes him extraordinary.
"Richie's probably not the most talented rugby player compared to other guys, but certainly what he has well above anybody else - which is why he's the captain - is his ability to lead the guys around," said Gear.
"He's uncompromising and he leads with his actions. His body is on the line and he somehow keeps going. That's inspirational."
Now 34 and a three-time winner of the world player of the year award, two poor Super Rugby seasons had seen some sniping at McCaw, but the lure of being part of the first team to retain the World Cup seems to have given him a new lease of life.
The All Blacks' most successful captain is happy to play down his role in the world champions' ongoing success.
"A lot of your talking and discussing is done before you're on the field, he said. "There are times where you just look at each other and know what you talked about is happening.
"You don't often need to say much, sometimes a look is enough, especially if you've played together a while. You understand the situations and then you know what to do."

McCaw's favourite victory is the 8-7 World Cup final triumph over France in 2011, when a broken foot meant every step he took during the match felt "like stepping on a red-hot lump of coal".
He also highlights the 48-18 second Test win over the British and Irish Lions in Wellington in 2005, when he was Tana Umaga's vice-captain, as one of his most memorable days in an All Black shirt.
All Test careers must come to an end at some point, even those of the greats, and Ardie Savea, the unbeaten 2013 European tour's "apprentice" to McCaw, says it is "surreal" being considered a leading contender - along with Sam Cane - for the captain's number seven jersey after the World Cup.
"Richie's a legend in the game. No-one will ever be a Richie again. What he's done with the seven jersey has raised the bar so high," said Savea.
The 21-year-old raised his formidable arms towards the heavens, adding: "It's a good challenge."
Whoever does succeed McCaw will have to replace "someone special", in the words of outside centre and vice-captain Conrad Smith.
He added: "You look at him and know he's not a guy you're ever going to worry about. His mind's in the right place."
McCaw's fellow Otago Boys' High boarders say he was hard-working back then, hitting the books at his desk till late every night.
His 99.4% for sixth-form maths is seen in his precise calculus between the white chalk lines during games.
"At my best, I live in that split second of time and space at the breakdown, a collision zone where 100kg-plus bodies are charging from diverse points of the compass towards a small ovoid focus. Success or failure can be measured in microseconds," as McCaw put it in his autobiography 'The Open Side'.
Kieran Crowley, part of the New Zealand squad that won the inaugural World Cup in 1987, was an All Blacks selector for McCaw's first World Cup in 2003.
"Richie is a great leader, he has the charisma that makes players want to follow him and play for him," said Crowley.
"On-field he always leads by example. Off-field his personality is natural and he has a genuine empathy for other people."
McCaw comes from a long line of "good Kiwi blokes" who were also "inspirational and uncompromising" leaders, with Smith naming iconic former All Blacks Colin Meads, Brian Lochore and Ian Kirkpatrick as the current captain's forebears.
During the middle of the challenging 2009 season, after South Africa beat the All Blacks three times in a row, McCaw invoked Lochore and co in a "moment of clarity" at an Auckland camp.
He laid an All Black jersey in front of his men at the Heritage Hotel and said: "There've been some great men who spilt blood for this jersey, made sacrifices. The toughness, ruthlessness, power, pace. The want. That's got to come from within, the inner desire to spill some blood if that's what it takes."
But while McCaw may be tough and ruthless on the pitch, Smith says that off it he remains firmly grounded.
"Whether it's [star fly-half] Dan [Carter] or Richie," Smith said, "they're normal people. That surprises some people.
"They think because they're a superstar they're going to be different, or do things differently, but they're just like anyone else.
"They have their quirky things about them in the same way anyone else does; and you realise they're fragile as well, they have feelings, they'll feel insecurities... they're still human beings."
On Saturday the All Blacks bounced back from last weekend's first loss to Australia for four years as they won the return Test in Auckland to retain the Bledisloe Cup.
Now comes the so far unconquerable challenge - to retain the World Cup.
Is New Zealand's captain confident of retaining the Cup? McCaw is ever crisp: "We're going to have a good crack at it."
Williams, 36, is the oldest Grand Slam semi-finalist since Navratilova lost in the 1994 Wimbledon final aged 37.
The American meets Angelique Kerber in her first SW19 semi-final since 2009.
"I didn't see her competing at this level again. I don't think she did," said 18-time Grand Slam singles champion Navratilova.
Here BBC Sport analyst Navratilova discusses Venus' remarkable revival, the prospect of meeting sister Serena in an all-Williams final and how top players manage to maintain longevity.
Many observers - including Navratilova - doubted the likelihood of Venus Williams ever competing for a Grand Slam title again.
She dominated Wimbledon for almost a decade between 2000 and 2009, winning five titles and finishing runner-up in another three finals.
But the seven-times Grand Slam champion had become a peripheral figure - until this year - after being diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an illness that causes fatigue and joint pain, in 2011.
She says she refused to consider retirement, despite her world ranking plummeting to 103 by the end of 2011.
Now she is back in the top 10 and just one more victory away from a ninth Wimbledon final.
"Her revival is astonishing," said 59-year-old Navratilova.
"We all thought she was going to quit and then she comes back into the top 10. Now she is two matches away from winning her sixth Wimbledon title.
"It is an amazing effort - most of all because of what she has gone through with this syndrome that is sapping her energy.
"It is so hard managing your energy when you get into your 30s anyway. So to be dealing with this disorder on top of that, and competing at the highest level, is extraordinary.
"Venus winning Wimbledon would be a Hollywood ending, no doubt."
Navratilova became the oldest female Grand Slam champion when, aged 33 years and 263 days, she won Wimbledon in 1990 - a record that stood until Serena Williams' victory last year.
The American won three major titles in her 30s, another record - alongside Margaret Court - until it was surpassed by current world number one Williams.
But, with multiple Grand Slam titles in the trophy cabinet and millions of pounds of prize money in the bank, what keeps the likes of Navratilova and the Williams sisters going?
"I still felt that I could play better tennis, was still learning about the sport and just the love of it," said Navratilova, who retired from the singles tour shortly after her 1994 final defeat by Conchita Martinez.
"That's obviously coming through with Venus. When you see that smile on her face after winning, it lights up the whole court.
"You know your time is running out - I knew 1994 was my last Wimbledon, Venus might still be here for many more years - but you don't have many more opportunities.
"She's enjoying herself."
So the fire stays in the belly of these great champions, according to Navratilova. But there is one opponent they cannot beat - the ageing process.
"Everything gets slower when you get older. Your legs, your mind and it takes longer to get ready," Navratilova said.
"So you have to get smarter. And that's what Venus is doing.
"Against quarter-final opponent Yaroslava Shvedova she had 15 winners and 12 unforced errors. They are numbers of a veteran who knows what they are doing and when to pull the trigger.
"Older players play safe within their ability. Venus is managing her energy and managing her winners/unforced errors percentage very well.
"It is maturity and knowing what your limits are."
Few would have predicted an all-Williams final at the start of the tournament. Now their first meeting in a Grand Slam final since Wimbledon 2009 is a possibility.
Serena must beat unseeded Russian Elena Vesnina, who had never even reached a Grand Slam quarter-final until this week, while Australian Open champion Kerber stands in Venus' path.
"It's hard to go against the Williams sisters both reaching the final because they have been there so many times," Navratilova said.
"Serena is the huge favourite to win the whole thing when she gets this far in a Grand Slam.
"She seems to get better and better as a tournament goes on and you cannot go against her."
Kerber, 28, has a 3-2 advantage over Venus Williams in their head-to-head record, although the American won their last meeting at the Montreal Open in 2014.
"For Venus, a lot of balls will be coming back from Kerber, but it is Venus' match to win or lose," Navratilova said.
"If she plays well enough she will definitely win the match. But Kerber is playing her best tennis since the Australian Open.
"I'd say maybe a slight edge to Venus."

The Angop state news agency says the flood water has reached 3m (9.8ft) in some areas of the city since Wednesday.
Scores of homes have been destroyed and rescue teams are still searching for missing people.
President Jose Eduardo Santos has ordered local authorities to provide assistance to the victims.
Large parts of Angola have been hit by heavy rains since January.
In the capital Luanda, at least one person died this week and hundreds of people were left homeless after 137 houses were destroyed by the rains, state media report.
The crossing near Tain will shut between 21:00 and 06:00 from 5 December to 13 December.
Transport Scotland said a diversion will be signposted, but added that the emergency services would still be able to use the bridge.
Bear Scotland is to refurbish the crossing's expansion joints.
Transport Scotland said the "essential maintenance works" were scheduled to start on 5 December.
The diversion involves taking traffic via the A936, Bonar Bridge and the A949. Pedestrians and cyclists are to be offered an escort through the site when it is safe to do so.
Tony Rucinski was suspended as head of the Board of Community Health Councils (CHCs) in February 2016.
Two senior officers are working in "acting chief executive" roles.
The board said it had nothing to add to a statement made by its chairwoman last month, which acknowledged an ongoing personnel process.
Dr Rucinski remains suspended on full pay. The role carries a salary of £90,000.
The details of the extra expenditure were revealed in a response to a freedom of information request from BBC Wales.
But the board has declined to put a figure on legal costs as a result of the suspension.
The reasons for Dr Rucinski suspension have not been given publicly. Alyson Thomas and Clare Jenkins are serving as acting joint-chief executives.
The Board of CHCs said: "The total additional salary costs incurred as a result of Mr Rucinski's suspension are £53,511 to the end of January 2017."
But the organisation said it "does not hold information" on the cost of legal services or the cost of the personnel process "in a format that would allow it to calculate the costs incurred as a result of the suspension, nor does it hold information that would allow it to give an estimate of such cost".
The organisation describes itself as the "independent voice of patients" in Wales.
It and the seven CHCs it oversees had an annual budget in 2015-16 of £3.8m.
Dr Rucinski was appointed as chief executive of the board in a newly-created role in July 2015.
At the time, he told BBC Wales he had been "put in place to make things happen".
Four months later the Welsh Government appointed Ms Merrill as the board's new chairwoman. Dr Rucinski was then suspended in February 2016.
Several sources have told BBC Wales there was tension between Dr Rucinski and Ms Merrill prior to his suspension.
In January, employment lawyer Damian Phillips said it was an "extraordinary period of time to suspend an employee".
In the statement made last month, the board's chairwoman said: "I can confirm on behalf of the Board of Community Health Councils in Wales that there are ongoing personnel processes relating to the chief executive officer and due process is being followed in respect of those matters."
British number one Andy Murray will lead the team against Belgium in Ghent.
Smith says he should have made up his mind "by the weekend" over Edmund, 20, or Ward, 28.
"I chew the fat with certain people at length over it," Smith told BBC Radio 5 live.
Edmund, ranked 99 in the world, won the Buenos Aires Challenger clay-court tournament last Sunday.
Ward broke into the world's top 100 in July but has since experienced a slump in form and is now ranked 155.
Smith said he had no concerns over Murray's heavy defeat by Rafael Nadal at the ATP World Tour Finals in London on Wednesday.
"We have a true champion and a winner in Andy who'll give everything irrespective of any fatigue that is there," he added.
The Davis Cup final takes place on clay from 27-29 November and is live across the BBC.
The city's residents have experienced brutality under IS but they may face even greater danger in the coming weeks.
The city is virtually sealed off and reports suggest IS is killing civilians who try to flee and using others as human shields.
IS reportedly hung 20 heads at Mosul's city gate as "blood propaganda" - a warning for soldiers or citizens not to enter or leave the city.
Other reports said IS fighters conducted house-to-house raids to confiscate mobile phones and record internet usage, making any communication with people outside the city extremely dangerous.
The BBC cannot independently verify the accounts but stories from Iraqis who have escaped the area corroborate reports of the risks involved in trying to flee.
Some of these accounts were provided to the BBC by the al-Ghad radio station, based in Erbil, Iraq, which encouraged listeners to call in with their experiences.
Others came via charities.
Omar, 50, said IS had threatened to shoot people who tried to leave. He managed to escape his village early one morning but his family almost died along the way, he said.
"It was extremely hot and we were dying of thirst, the sand was up to our ankles," he told Oxfam. "We finished our water just a quarter of the way into the journey and my wife and children couldn't go on anymore.
"I walked [ahead] by myself to fetch them water and carry it back to them. It took me seven hours. There were children dying on that journey. There were snipers shooting at our heads."
Mohammed said that the number of IS militants in Mosul is falling as fighters leave the city with their families. He said he expected Mosul to be "liberated with minimal fighting".
"I went around the city and I want to tell you their numbers have been massively reduced," he said.
Mohammed said that while a number of vehicles left Mosul, some cars and caravans in the city had been "filled with explosives".
Sarah, a resident of Mosul, said that while many people were "excited" about the Iraqi army's mission to regain control of the city, locals were also fearful of being caught in the conflict.
"I want to tell them that we have been waiting for you for over two years now, and we are hopeful you can liberate us," she said. "But please take care of the innocent civilians inside Mosul."
Arash, an Iraqi whose family lives in Mosul, said that when he contacts them, they are often afraid. "We can only talk for a few minutes," he said.
Arash said that civilians in Mosul began to rebel against IS when they heard that pro-government forces were advancing toward the city.
"They started this uprising," he said, adding: "They started burning IS cars and trying to kill as many family members of IS as possible.
"They try to use the instruments they have to take down IS. No one has a gun, so they have made homemade bombs with fuel and glass."
Ibrahim said two of his daughters had died while trying to escape from their home town of Qayyarah, south of Mosul.
One girl stepped on an explosive device and was instantly killed, and the other later died as he tried to carry her to safety, he told the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Two of Ibrahim's four daughters are still alive and one is captive in Mosul. He hopes the battle to recapture the city will help reunite his family.
"At least then I can get back one of my daughters," he said.
Mohamad runs a radio station in Mosul. He said that when IS arrived, the city became isolated and the station became a mouthpiece for people in the community.
"I think we have become the platform that helps people talk to each other," he said. His station's first broadcast was in March 2015.
"It was a big victory for us and was also appreciated by the people inside Mosul," he said. "We are updating them on what is happening and not only this, we are being their voice."
Mohamad said that conditions in Mosul were "very hard".
"Now it has become harder to get anything from outside the city. The only available food is what you can grow inside Mosul. Now medicine is very expensive, it's very hard to get it for the family."
Ahmed, another Mosul resident, spoke to the al-Ghad radio station based in Erbil, Iraq. Al-Ghad provided recordings to the BBC.
Ahmed said IS fighters were fleeing Mosul.
"The number of Daesh (IS) people on the streets inside city has reduced significantly," he said. "Some have left for Syria, and some have gone into the desert, west of Mosul.
"The number of their cars driving around the city has reduced, and we're seeing more of them using motorbikes at the moment instead of their regular cars."
Hassan, 28, said he saw his friend killed by IS militants.
"IS killed two of my best friends in the most horrible way because they tried to escape to territory held by the Iraqi security forces," he told the International Organization for Migration.
"[They] hit their heads against the roof of the car until they didn't resist anymore, and then lined them up and shot them."
Hassan said fighters had used him as a shield to play sport.
"IS would force us to go play football with them, because they knew that when they were among civilians the planes would not target them. So they would force us to go different places with them."
In a decree, President Nicolas Maduro has ordered the army to monitor food processing plants, and co-ordinate the production and distribution of items.
Venezuela is going through a deep economic crisis despite having the world's largest oil reserves.
Basic products are increasingly hard to find and many say they struggle to feed their families.
The Venezuelan Bishops Conference said the rise of the military is a "threat to tranquillity and peace".
Mr Maduro says the measure is to fight the "economic war" he claims is being waged against his government by political foes and businessmen, with US backing.
But the opposition says the government has mismanaged the economy, and has called for a referendum to oust the president.
Venezuela: Economy on the brink?
Mr Maduro announced on state television that the ports of Guanta, La Guaira, Puerto Cabello, Maracaibo and Guamache would be controlled by the army.
He created a government initiative called Great Mission of Sovereign Supplying, which will be headed by the country's Defence Minister, General Vladimir Padrino.
Among other things, it can establish how purchases and distribution of food, medicine and household goods are made.
Meanwhile, Mr Maduro accused Citibank of mounting a "financial blockade" on the country, after the US bank decided to close the government's international payments account with it.
Citibank said the decision followed a "periodic risk management review", but did not explain further. It would be implemented within 30 days, it added.
Due to strict currency controls in place since 2003, the Venezuelan government relies on Citibank for foreign currency transactions.
Madonna played an impassioned rendition of John Lennon's Imagine at an intimate acoustic concert in New York.
"This is a concert about unifying us, and it's about keeping America great, not making America great," she said, referring to a Donald Trump slogan.
Meanwhile, Gaga made a pledge for unity at a Clinton rally in North Carolina.
Will celebrity support help Clinton?
Speaking in Raleigh, the star called for Mrs Clinton's supporters to respect the people who voted for Republican nominee Mr Trump.
"We do not need to hate his followers," she said to a round of applause.
"If we are true, true Americans, then we must go from viewing his followers as our adversaries to viewing them as our allies."
The star, sporting the same jacket Michael Jackson wore to the White House in 1990, then duetted with Jon Bon Jovi on the song Living On A Prayer.
Dozens of musicians have come out in support of Mrs Clinton over the last few months, but Trump has struggled to win celebrity endorsements. Among those who have voiced support for his candidacy are country singer Loretta Lynn, boxer Mike Tyson and actor Jon Voight.
Others, including The Rolling Stones, Adele, Queen, REM and Elton John, have requested that the businessman and reality TV star stop using their music at his rallies.
Meanwhile a project called 30 Days, 30 Songs has seen dozens of artists release anti-Trump songs over the last month.
By contrast, Mrs Clinton has enlisted the services of Jay Z and Beyonce, who headlined a Get Out the Vote event in Cleveland last week, which also featured performances from Chance the Rapper, Big Sean, and J Cole.
Bruce Springsteen, meanwhile, performed a three-song set on Monday night outside Philadelphia's Independence Hall at a rally in support of Hillary Clinton.
The rock star, who has previously called Trump "a moron", took one final opportunity to knock the Republican nominee.
"This is a man whose vision is limited to little beyond himself, who has the profound lack of decency that would allow him to prioritise his own interests and ego before American democracy itself," Springsteen said.
"Somebody who would be willing to damage our long-cherished and admired system rather than look to himself for the reasons behind his own epic failure. And that's unforgivable. Tomorrow, those ideas and that campaign is going down."
The final day of campaigning saw the two main candidates preach divergent messages.
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mrs Clinton talked about bringing the country together after the election was over.
"We've got to heal our country, or, as the Bible says, 'repair the breach', because we have so much divisiveness right now," she said. "We've got to start listening to each other, respecting each other."
By contrast, Mr Trump issued warnings that the US was on a downward slope, repeated his assertion that the election was "rigged" and called his rival the "most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency".
He also promised to "bring back the auto industry bigger and better and stronger than ever before" and promised that, if he won the election: "We're going to have real change, not Obama change."
Election day voting began just after midnight in the small New Hampshire village of Dixville Notch. A record number of Americans - more than 46 million - have voted early by post or at polling stations.
Results are expected some time after 23:00 EST (04:00 GMT on Wednesday) once voting ends on the West Coast.

The coalition said the Syrian Su-22 had bombed US-backed fighters battling so-called Islamic State in Raqqa province.
Russia, the Syrian government's main ally, also said it was halting communications with the US aimed at preventing such incidents.
The White House says it retains the right to self-defence in Syria.
Spokesman Sean Spicer said it was important to keep lines of communication open with Russia.
It comes at a time when the US-led coalition and the fighters it is supporting on the ground attempt to oust IS militants from the city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the "caliphate" they proclaimed in 2014.
"Any aircraft, including planes and drones belonging to the international coalition operating west of the River Euphrates, will be tracked by Russian anti-aircraft forces in the sky and on the ground and treated as targets," the Russian defence ministry said.
However, it stopped short of openly saying it would shoot down coalition aircraft.
Reuters news agency quoted a US military spokesman as saying it was repositioning aircraft over Syria in the wake of the incident, to ensure the safety of American crew members.
Russia also denied the US had used a communications channel before the Su-22 fighter bomber was shot down, and said it was ending a memorandum of co-operation with the coalition aimed at preventing air incidents and guaranteeing flight safety.
But the chairman of US military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Joe Dunford, said it was seeking to re-establish the "deconfliction" communications line with Russia, adding that it had remained in use "over the last few hours".
It is not the first time communications have been suspended between the two sides - in April, the hotline was shut down after the US launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria's Shayrat airbase in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town in Idlib province.
The US and Russia had agreed to resume communications last month.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May called on Russia to continue using available measures to "reduce the chance of misunderstandings over what is a crowded airspace", Reuters reported.
Why are air combat kills so rare?
Russia's ministry of defence has responded sharply. In addition to the usual rhetoric - the charge that the US is violating Syrian sovereignty and breaking international law - there is a practical step - the immediate suspension of the co-ordination channel set up to avoid clashes between US and Russian forces.
There is a threat too, namely that in areas where Russian aircraft are operating, coalition drones and aircraft west of the Euphrates river will be tracked and "treated as targets". It should be noted that the co-ordination mechanism has generally worked well and its operation is as much in Moscow's as Washington's interest.
A previous "suspension" of the mechanism by Russia seems to have been by word only - behind-the-scenes contacts continued. But as the battle for eastern Syria steps up, Russia and its Syrian government ally seem intent on drawing a line in the sky.

The Su-22 fighter bomber was engaged by an F/A-18E Super Hornet after it dropped bombs near the town of Tabqa in Raqqa province on Sunday afternoon, the Pentagon said.
It is believed to be the first air-to-air kill of a manned aircraft by a US military jet since the Kosovo campaign in 1999.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters who are leading the offensive on Raqqa, were operating in the Tabqa area.
A statement from the coalition's Operation Inherent Resolve said pro-government militiamen had attacked SDF units, driving them from the town of Ja'Din.
The coalition conducted what it said was a "show of force" - a reported buzzing of the pro-government troops by jets - to stop the attack and then called Russia to try to "de-escalate the situation and stop the firing".
However, the Su-22 dropped bombs on SDF positions a few hours later, the coalition said, and "in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defence of coalition-partnered forces [the plane] was immediately shot down".
Attempts to warn the plane away using an emergency radio frequency failed, the US military's Central Command said.
Both Russia and Syria say the warplane was on a mission against IS about 40km (25 miles) south-west of Raqqa, when it came under fire.
Russia said in its statement that the Syrian pilot had ejected over IS-controlled territory and "his fate remains unknown".
Syria's army said the "flagrant attack" would have "dangerous repercussions".
Despite Hollywood blockbusters showcasing close-range aerial battles, they have almost vanished from modern warfare.
"The era of dogfighting is largely over," says Justin Bronk, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, specialising in combat airpower.
"After the totally lopsided kill-to-loss ratio attained by the US Air Force and US Navy during the First Gulf War, it is a very rare thing for regimes under attack by the US and its allies to send fighters up in defence - since they know how it will end."

Although this is the first time the coalition has shot down a Syrian jet, there have been an increasing number of incidents between the two sides:
Separately on Sunday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had launched several missiles into eastern Syria, killing a "large number" of IS fighters. They said it was in response to an IS-claimed attack on the Iranian parliament earlier this month which killed more than a dozen people.

Islamic State group: The full story
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. | A 20-year-old woman has died following a crash in Blaenau Gwent during the early hours of Wednesday.

She was finance minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government at the time of the compensation award to Bernard Tapie for the sale of a firm.
Mr Tapie supported Mr Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential election.
Ms Lagarde's lawyer described the court's decision as "incomprehensible", and said the IMF boss would appeal.
In a statement she said she had "always acted in this affair in the interest of the state and in respect of the law", according to AP.
Tapie affair: Background to case
Profile: Christine Lagarde, 'rock star' IMF head
Mr Tapie was once a majority shareholder in sports goods company Adidas but sold it in 1993 in order to become a cabinet minister in Francois Mitterrand's Socialist government.
He sued the Credit Lyonnais bank over its handling of the sale, alleging that the partly state-owned bank had defrauded him by deliberately undervaluing the company.
His case was later referred by Ms Lagarde to a three-member arbitration panel which awarded the compensation, causing a public outcry.
Investigators suspect he was granted a deal in return for his support of Mr Sarkozy.
Earlier this month, a French court ruled that Mr Tapie was not entitled to any compensation for that sale and should pay back the €404m with interest.
France's Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) decided that Ms Lagarde, 59, should be tried on the charge of "negligence by a person in position of public authority" over the compensation case, iTele TV channel and the Mediapart website reported on Thursday.
A court spokesman later confirmed the decision.
If convicted, she could be sentenced to one year in prison.
French media said the CJR investigation magistrates declined to follow the recommendation of another court which last year decided not to pursue the case.
"It's incomprehensible," Ms Lagarde's lawyer Yves Repiquet told iTele. "I will recommend Mrs Lagarde appeal against this decision."
A spokesman for France's attorney general said Ms Lagarde would have five days to appeal, once the court decision is made public on Friday or Monday.
Meanwhile, IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said the organisation - which represents 188 member nations - "continues to express its confidence in the managing director's ability to effectively carry out her duties".

Now serving his second term as Bucharest mayor, Mr Oprescu is accused of taking kickbacks from companies awarded contracts with the city.
Prosecutors allege he took a 10% cut from deals. He denies any wrongdoing.
It is the latest of several corruption scandals to engulf top political figures in Romania.
Mr Oprescu, 63, who is backed by Romania's governing Social Democrats, was taken into custody for an initial 24 hours.
Prosecutors will ask a court to extend this for a month while investigations continue.
Companies which won public works contracts kept up to 33% of the gross profit, prosecutors said in a statement.
"The rest was given as bribes to employees of the Bucharest mayor, with 10% of the contracts' value requested by the accused Sorin Oprescu."
The mayor was caught accepting a bribe from people who became informants, prosecutors allege.
His lawyer, Alexandru Chiciu, said his client had "never asked for money from anybody, directly or indirectly".
Several high-profile Romanians have lost their jobs recently over allegations of corruption.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta was charged in July with several counts of corruption in a long-running investigation.
He faces charges of fraud, tax evasion and money laundering dating back to when he was a lawyer before he became prime minister in 2012, the country's anti-corruption agency DNA said.
Mr Ponta, who resigned as Social Democratic party leader, also denies any wrongdoing but continues as PM despite opposition calls for him to quit.
Romania's reputation has suffered from allegations of corruption - it ranks 69th out of 175 on Transparency International's corruption perceptions index for 2014, where a low ranking suggests less corruption.
However, the DNA agency is stepping up efforts to combat corruption, earning praise from Romania's European partners, correspondents say.
Several famous writers were among his fans, including Philip Roth and Joseph Heller, but he never converted critical acclaim into commercial success.
A former US fighter pilot, he flew in the Korean War alongside future astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who became the second man to walk on the moon.
He died on Friday at a gym near his New York state home, his publisher said.
Salter wrote his first novel, The Hunters, in 1956 during the Korean War and became known for exploring masculine themes like conflict - provoking comparisons to Ernest Hemingway.
Speaking to the BBC in 2013, he said: "Having been to war satisfies a certain classical definition of manhood. To have seen war is some kind of pillar of manhood, and I felt that at the time."
The Hunters was made into a Hollywood film in 1958 starring Robert Mitchum but his five later novels received far less attention.
He published his final novel, All That Is, two years ago at the age of 87. It was his first for nearly 30 years and it made the New York Times best-seller list - but only for a week.
It might have fell short of the popular success he craved, says the BBC's Nick Bryant in New York, but the critical adulation cemented his reputation as a writer's writer, almost without peer.
Fellow novelist Richard Ford wrote in 1975: "It is an article of faith among readers of fiction that James Salter writes American sentences better than anybody writing today."
The 35-year-old, from London, was found at Old Street Station after police were called at 00:22 GMT on Sunday.
His 32-year-old brother from Manchester, who is thought to have accidentally fallen on to the tracks, is in a critical condition in hospital.
British Transport Police has described the man's death as a "tragic accident".
The names of the men have not been released. Officers are not treating the incident as suspicious.
London Ambulance Service said the man from Manchester had suffered multiple injuries.
Matthew Pabon, a consultant from Clapham Junction, told the BBC he was waiting on the platform on his way home from Shoreditch when he saw one of the men "jumping really close to the line".
"I was really close, on the same platform in front of them. Just waiting for the Tube," he said.
"One of them was jumping really close to the line and then he slipped on to the tracks.
"Before it happened I was really worried the man might fall.
"The train was just seconds from coming. That was what stopped me from trying to help. I froze."
"The guy who was trying to save him was on the edge of the platform trying to pick him up with his hands but it was too late, the train came 20 seconds later," Mr Pabon said.
Another witness, Robert Brown, said: "I'm a trainee accountant and I'm 24. Thirty-five is no age to die."
Mr Brown, who is originally from Manchester but now lives in east London, had been out for dinner in Shoreditch celebrating a friend's birthday and was catching the last Tube home.
He said: "I saw the train approaching from a distance and then saw the person fall into the tracks."
The person he was with "instantly" tried to pull him up before the train arrived, Mr Brown said.
He said the "rescuer" was then thrown back on to the platform from the impact.
"People tried to approach him and there were screams. Pretty much every girl was crying and I just stood there head in hands," Mr Brown said.
The injured men were treated by paramedics at the station and taken to the Royal Free Hospital, where the 35-year-old died later on Sunday.
The 29-year-old was hurt in the British and Irish Cup tie with London Irish at the Mennaye in December.
He initially had surgery on the problem, but needs more to help it.
"We'll be able to gauge a timeframe from that, but he'll be returning to play at some point next season," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"I don't want to speculate too much on it," added Cattle of Evans, who has scored four tries in eight Championship games this season and crossed the whitewash against Ireland in November.
"I know a lot of people want to know what's going on with Matt because he's a very popular member of our squad and been a star for us on and off the pitch."
In his 38 caps for Canada, Evans has scored 10 tries and played at the last two World Cups.
Mr Cameron's former director of communications Sir Craig Oliver said in a book that Mrs May was regarded by some as "an enemy agent".
But Mr Duncan Smith urged Remain campaigners to "get behind Theresa May instead of carping".
Sir Craig said the book was an attempt to explain "what went wrong".
In his book, Sir Craig claimed that Mrs May failed to back the Remain campaign 13 times and he also said Boris Johnson believed the Leave campaign would be "crushed".
Former Work and Pensions Secretary Mr Duncan Smith said in a statement: "In the past, a knight of the realm who had failed in battle and lost would have quit the field and retired in humility to better understand their own failings.
"How surprising then to find that far from that, Sir Craig Oliver, one of the leading lights of Remain, has decided to instead try to pin the blame for his failure on others, particularly the new prime minister.
"Craig Oliver's is one of a growing number of foolish attempts by ex-government Remainers who lost to shift responsibility for their failure.
"The grown-up thing for them to do, instead of carping, is to show some humility and get behind Theresa May as she seeks to get back control of migration with the EU as we leave."
Mr Duncan Smith said far from failing to support Mr Cameron in his bid to get a better deal with the EU, Mrs May made her backing for tougher migration controls quite clear.
In response, Sir Craig said Mr Duncan Smith appeared to have got the "wrong end of the stick".
"I have not made the specific allegations he claims," he said. "The book is a sincere and honest attempt to explain what went wrong; and I take full responsibility for the mistakes made by the campaign."
Sir Craig's book, titled Unleashing Demons: The Inside Story Of Brexit, is being serialised in the Mail on Sunday. Neither Downing Street nor Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson have responded.
Speaking on the Murnaghan programme on Sky News, Conservative Party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin said he did not think it was true "at all" that Mrs May had let down Mr Cameron.
"Theresa May during the referendum campaign made her position very clear, " he said. "This is a book that has been written after the event. You have got to have certain spicy things in a book to sell it.
"I don't blame Craig for doing that. At the time, Theresa was very much part of the Remain campaign."
However, former Northern Ireland secretary Theresa Villiers, a pro-Leave campaigner, said there were times when she "did wonder" if Mrs May was listening to both sides.
She told BBC One's Sunday Politics: "Her major speech of the referendum campaign expressed real concerns about the possibility of Turkey joining the EU. It also said that the sky is not going to fall in if we leave."
In the book, Sir Craig said Mr Cameron briefly considered staying on as prime minister, despite losing the referendum.
However, he said he decided against it, saying he feared remaining in Downing Street would have left him "being prepared for the slaughterhouse".
Mr Cameron resigned as prime minister the day after the result and was replaced by Mrs May.
Sir Craig said Mrs May only came "off the fence" in favour of Remain after Mr Cameron became "visibly wound up" and gave her a dressing down over the telephone.
Sir Craig's book suggests Mr Cameron was left uncertain over whether Mrs May favoured staying in the European Union.
He said Mrs May was referred to dismissively by aides as "submarine May" during the campaign.
The then home secretary's "sphinx-like approach" became difficult, he added in the book, as the press were questioning which way she would jump.
Sir Craig said matters finally came to a head after a newspaper warned Mr Cameron faced "last-minute opposition" from Mrs May to his deal for EU reform.

Briggs missed the Six Nations because of a hamstring injury but is named in a squad that includes 12 players with previous World Cup experience.
Claire Molloy, Marie-Louise Reilly and Nora Stapleton will be playing in their third World Cup.
Scrum-half Nicole Cronin, who has played for the Ireland sevens team, is the only uncapped player in the squad.
Ulster players Ashleigh Baxter and Claire McLaughlin are included while Stapleton is joined by fellow Donegal native Larissa Muldoon.
Molloy, Reilly, Stapleton, Ailis Egan, Heather O'Brien, Sophie Spence, Ashleigh Baxter, Paula Fitzpatrick, Alison Miller, Muldoon, Jenny Murphy and Briggs all featured at the 2014 tournament, when Ireland were beaten in the semi-finals by eventual champions England.
England also defeated Ireland in this year's Grand Slam decider in March.
Ireland coach Tom Tierney said the squad had been developed over the past three years with the World Cup in mind.
"As a result of the programme, many players have had the opportunity to prepare for this moment and play international rugby and show their skills at the highest level," said Tierney.
"We have named players who have been here before and are aware of the challenge that lies ahead.
"Then there are a number of players in the squad for whom this will be their first ever World Cup and I am extremely confident they will compete for starting positions throughout the campaign."
Ireland will take on Australia, Japan and France in their World Cup pool with only the winners guaranteed a semi-final place.
The three pool winners will be joined by the best second-placed team in the semi-finals at Kingspan Stadium with the final also taking place at the Ravenhill venue.
"The opportunity to play in a World Cup on home soil is a once in a life time opportunity," added the Ireland coach.
"While we are in a tough pool with Australia, Japan and our Six Nations rivals France, I am sure the players will rise to the occasion in front of their home fans."

Now Mount Stewart, the historic 18th century house in County Down, can add another accolade after winning a top UK prize for conservation.
It scooped the building conservation award at the 2016 RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) Awards.
The honour was for work carried out as part of a three-year £8m refurbishment.
Mount Stewart, which is located near Newtownards and has been owned by the National Trust since 1977, reopened last year after the refurbishment was complete.
Judges said the project used "highly innovative" techniques to "repair serious structural defects throughout the property".
"Judges were further impressed by the clear collaboration in pioneering the approach of undertaking the works whilst maintaining the building open to the public with the highly successful outcome of increasing visitor numbers and visitor experience," the judges said.
Mount Stewart won the award ahead of competition from projects across the UK including Cardigan Castle in Wales and the Garden Building at Oxford University.
The house has belonged to the Marquesses of Londonderry since 1740 and visitors to the residence over the years have included members of the Royal Family and Winston Churchill.
William Butler Yeats was a frequent visitor to the house and a friend of Lady Mairi Bury, the youngest daughter of the Marquess who died in 2009.
Lord Dunlop said that after the Tories' general election success in Scotland, it was a "good moment" for him to go.
He was given a peerage by David Cameron in 2015, allowing him to take on the role of Scotland Office minister.
The then-prime minister was forced to take that approach after the Tories won just one seat in Scotland in the 2015 election.
Following Thursday's vote, the Conservatives now have 13 MPs from north of the border - their best Scottish Westminster result since 1983.
But the party's success in Scotland stands in stark contrast with the situation in England, where the Tories lost seats leaving Prime Minister Theresa May forced to seek the support of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to continue in government.
She is now carrying out a cabinet reshuffle - although only has limited room for manoeuvre after the election resulted in a hung parliament.
Lord Dunlop announced his decision on Twitter, stating: "Joined govt 6 years ago to help keep the UK together. 13 Scottish Tory MPs & a 62% Unionist vote share seems a good moment to bow out."
He put on record his thanks to "all friends & colleagues in government", particularly Scottish Secretary David Mundell, as well as "those from across political parties with whom I've worked".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson was among those who replied to his announcement, thanking him for his "tremendous service".
Mr Mundell also paid tribute to his former colleague. He said: "Andrew Dunlop has been an outstanding minister for Scotland.
"He ensured the Scotland Act 2016 passed successfully through the House of Lords, delivering the Smith Commission powers in full. Since then he has taken forward a host of vitally important initiatives.
"Andrew played a key role in delivering UK City Deals across Scotland and he's provided a strong voice for Scottish business in the UK Government.
"From my personal point of view, Andrew was an invaluable source of support when I was the only Scottish Conservative MP, and I know he will also be greatly missed by everyone at the Scotland Office.
We all thank him and wish him well for the future."
When he took on his role in the Scotland Office Lord Dunlop denied claims from the SNP that he had helped impose the "hated poll tax" as an adviser to Margaret Thatcher, with the Conservative stating that was a "complete myth".
The bodies were excavated at Thornton Abbey in North Lincolnshire.
Between 1347 and 1351 the "Great Pestilence" swept westward across Europe killing millions of people. It later became known as the Black Death.
It arrived on Britain's shores in 1348 and is believed to have wiped out up to 60% of the population at the time.

Dr Hugh Willmott, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Archaeology, said: "The finding of a previously unknown and completely unexpected mass burial dating to this period in a quiet corner of rural Lincolnshire is thus far unique, and sheds light into the real difficulties faced by a small community ill-prepared to face such a devastating threat."
The large burial site suggests the community was overwhelmed by the Black Death and the number of people who died, he added.

"It's an incredible honour," said McCaw, who will be 35 on 31 December. "I've never been comfortable with titles, it's not who I am."
McCaw retired in the wake of New Zealand's success at the World Cup in England, as the All Blacks became the first country to win consecutive tournaments.
He played a world-record 148 Tests, winning 131, and is also a three-time winner of the World Player of the Year award.
"To have my rugby career recognised in this way is very special," said McCaw.
"I've been so lucky to have played with some truly awesome men and while I receive this award, my team-mates are a huge part of our success over the years."

Unveiling his first Budget to MPs, Mr Osborne said "tough but fair" action on debt was "unavoidable".
But Labour said it was "reckless" and would "throw people out of work".
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman said Mr Osborne's budget would stifle growth and hit hardest "those who can least afford it".

Readers' reactions to the Budget
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson described the financial statement as a "massive gamble economically and politically".
It represents a major departure from the previous government's economic policies, with business leaders saying they hoped it would be a "defining moment" in Britain's economic recovery.
But trade unions have warned hundreds of thousand of jobs could be lost in the public services, potentially wrecking local economies and sparking a "double-dip" recession.
Setting out his plans in the Commons, Mr Osborne said "decisive" action was needed to prevent a "catastrophic collapse" in economic confidence but stressed it would be done in a "fair" way with the better-off shouldering most of the burden.
"Everyone will pay something but the people at the bottom of the income scale will pay proportionately less than those at the top. This is a progressive Budget," he said to jeers from Labour MPs.
UK households, on average, will be about £400 a year worse off, Budget documents suggest, with the poorest 10% losing £200 and the richest £1,800, although the poorest will be hit harder than most as a percentage of their income.
Mr Osborne vowed to balance Britain's books within five years, with the bulk of the savings to come from cuts to benefits and public services rather than tax increases.
And he laid the blame for the state of the nation's finances squarely at the door of the previous Labour government, saying: "The years of debt and spending make this unavoidable."

Tax credits will be cut for families earning more than £40,000 a year - and there will be a two year pay freeze for public servants paid more than £21,000. Those earning less will get a £250 rise for two years.
Mr Osborne also announced real terms cuts across all government departments of 25% over four years - except health and foreign aid which are ringfenced.
Will Hutton, of the Work Foundation, who is advising the government on public sector pay, described the cuts as "brutal" and questioned whether they were achievable without wrecking the coalition government.
He described Mr Osborne's Budget as the "biggest gamble a post-war government has made".
The full details of the impact of the cuts will not be revealed until Wednesday 20 October, when Mr Osborne publishes his spending review.
The VAT increase, which Mr Osborne said would raise £13bn a year, is to come into effect in January.
Capital gains tax will be increased to 28% for top rate taxpayers - less than the 50% some Conservative backbenchers had feared. This will come into effect at midnight.
In other moves, Mr Osborne pledged to pledge to link pensions to earnings - or prices or 2.5% if they are higher.
Housing benefit will be reformed with a maximum limit of £400 a week, in a package saving £1.8bn a year by the end of the Parliament.
Other benefits to be cut include the health in pregnancy grant while the Sure Start maternity grant will be restricted to the first child only and lone parents will be expected to look for work when their youngest child goes to school.
But there will be an extra £150 a year for the poorest families, through changes to family tax credits.
The government is also to introduce a medical assessment for Disability Living Allowance from 2013 for new and existing claimants.
Mr Osborne also announced plans to help the low paid by raising personal tax allowances, taking an estimated 880,000 people out of the tax system and give millions of basic rate taxpayers a tax cut of £200 per year.
From January 2011, the government will introduce a bank levy, which will apply to the balance sheets of UK banks and building societies and the UK operations of foreign banks. Mr Osborne said the move would raise £2bn a year once it was fully in place.
Mr Osborne said public sector workers paid more than £21,000 a year would have a two year pay freeze with those paid less getting a flat pay increase of £250 for the next two years.
The plan is the first step towards a key Liberal Democrat coalition demand of taking all those earning less than £10,000 out of tax.
The chancellor must find £3.5bn to pay for the giveaway - which will be clawed back from top rate taxpayers - and Labour are likely to argue it is irresponsible in the current climate.
Mr Osborne also froze the Civil List payments to the Royal Family at £7.9m a year and said in future years they would be subject to scrutiny by the National Audit Office.

He stressed that the pain of his austerity measures would be shared by "everyone" - but said all would share in the proceeds of the "enterprise-led recovery" that he promised would follow.
"Yes it is tough, but it also fair," said Mr Osborne of his first budget, adding: "Everyone will share in the rewards when we succeed. When we say that we are all in this together, we mean it."
He said that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) now estimated growth this year of 1.2% and 2.3% next year - compared to its previous forecasts of 1.3% of 2.6%.
Giving her response to Mr Osborne's statement, acting Labour leader Harriet Harman poured scorn on the Liberal Democrats for providing a "fig leaf" for their Conservative coalition partners, arguing "this reckless Tory budget would not be possible without the Lib Dems".
"The Lib Dems leaders have sacrificed everything they ever stood for to ride in ministerial cars and to ride on the coat tails of the Tory government," she added.
Plaid Cymru also lashed out at the Lib Dems, with Treasury spokesman Jonathan Edwards accusing party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg of sitting next to Tory leader David Cameron "like a nodding dog, agreeing with every word as VAT was raised".
Lib Dem reaction to Budget
"They are running out of major election policies on which to U-turn," he added.
The SNP welcomed some Budget measures, such as the freeze on whisky duty and the restoration of the pensions and earnings link, but branded planned spending cuts "irresponsible".
In a message to Liberal Democrat supporters, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the government had "no choice except to clear up the financial mess that Labour left us".
And he said the Budget had taken "difficult decisions in an honest and fair way and with the clear stamp of Liberal Democrat values running through it," citing examples including the restoration of the pensions and earnings link and the tax boost for the low paid.
Lib Dem Deputy Leader Simon Hughes, who has vowed to protect the party's core values, issued a statement in support of Mr Clegg after the Budget statement, saying it would protect the "needy and vulnerable".
So far only one Lib Dem MP, Bob Russell, has publicly suggested he might vote against the Budget, as the party had campaigned against VAT increases at the election because "the low paid disproportionately pay more".
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I am not at all happy. I need to discuss with colleagues how it is we have got into this situation."
Dave Prentis, general secretary of public service union Unison accused the coalition government of "declaring war" on public services, saying the Budget would "raise the spectre of breadline Britain" in some parts of the country.
"Public sector workers will be shocked and angry that they are the innocent victims of job cuts and pay freezes".
But CBI director general Richard Lambert called the Budget "the UK's first important step on the long journey back to economic health".
Green MP Caroline Lucas called Mr Osborne's statement a "budget for pointless austerity" full of cuts that were "neither unavoidable or fair".
But in an e-mail to Conservative supporters, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "In this emergency Budget I believe you have the measure of this government.
"Will it provoke debate? Certainly. Will it cost our coalition some popularity? Possibly. But is this the right thing to do - for the health of our economy, for the poorest in our society, for the future of our country? I passionately believe it is."
A brick was reportedly thrown through the window of the Village Shop, in Magdalen Street, and a small fire started in the early hours of Friday.
Police said they were keeping "an open mind" after suggestions it could have been racially motivated.
A crowdfunding appeal on the JustGiving website has so far raised £28,509.
Officers were called to the shop, which sells "Eastern European and British products", at about 03:00 BST.
They said two people who were inside a flat attached to the shop at the time were unharmed, but that stock had been damaged and a window broken.
Maria Burgea, who works in the shop and was sleeping in the flat when the fire started, told the BBC via a translator she was "really, really scared".
The fundraising appeal was launched by Helen Linehan, who posted on the website: "While protesters rallied against Brexit in Norwich last night, an Eastern European food store was petrol-bombed.
"The owner was asleep upstairs with her daughter. She has no insurance. She could do with an act of kindness from her neighbours. Please donate. A small token will go a long way."
Det Insp Chris Burgess said: "We are aware of suggestions this may have been a racially motivated incident and whilst there is currently no information to suggest this to be the case we will of course keep an open mind."
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU) said patients could face significant difficulties seeing their doctor as the population grows.
The proposals would place GP, dental, research, fitness and library facilities under one roof.
ABMU said move was the best way to "promote good health".
Sian Harrop-Griffiths, ABMU's director of strategy said the proposals were still in the early stages and nothing was set in stone.
"The NHS is facing rising costs, increasing demand and an ageing population, by working across all sectors we aim to tackle these issues by putting prevention and improved health and wellbeing in a joined up way," she said.
Discussions are taking place to see if the wellness centre could be part of the Swansea city centre regeneration plans.
A report being considered by Swansea Public Services Board - a partnership of local agencies including Swansea Council and ABMU - says the hub would help ease pressures at GP surgeries, many of which are out-of-date and "unsuitable" for dealing with modern health care provision.
It warns that problems recruiting GPs teamed with increasing demand threaten the sustainability of primary health care in the city.
Earlier this month the British Medical Association (BMA) warned primary care was in "crisis" in Wales, saying more family doctors could quit unless surgeries get more support.
The proposed centre would provide GP services for 35,000 patients as well as housing dental, sexual health, podiatry, speech and language and mental health services for around 150,000 people.
A GP academy, library, fitness facility, art therapy and computer courses could also be based in the building.
Proposals for the 7,000 square-metre centre are being looked at by Swansea Public Services Board as part of the wider regeneration plans.
Tavare and Dent shared an 83-run second-wicket stand before the latter was caught behind off Paul Collingwood.
Captain Collingwood completed a double-wicket maiden as Graeme van Buuren fell for a duck as the hosts fell to 97-3.
Chris Rushworth had Tavare caught behind for 61 before Keaton Jennings took two wickets in two balls to leave the hosts 265-7 at Bristol.
Wicketkeeper Phil Mustard made a useful 38 in his first innings against his former club, and shared a 64-run sixth-wicket partnership with Jack Taylor as Gloucestershire looked to push on following Tavare's dismissal.
But Jennings had Mustard and Craig Miles caught at first slip by Collingwood to leave honours even as bad light brought play to an early close on day one.
The England Under-21 international scored nine goals for the Royals after joining from Chelsea last season.
Swift, 22, made 42 appearances in all competitions as he helped guide Reading to the Championship play-off final.
"Everybody knows the quality he has. He showed us all last season what a great player he is and the difference he can make," Reading manager Jaap Stam said.
In Morning Has Broken he will play a US TV producer brought in to save the show.
The six-part series will air in 2016 and is written by, and co-stars Julia Davis and Nick Mohammed.
Channel 4's commissioning editor, Rachel Springett, expressed delight that the broadcaster had landed Schwimmer.
"Julia is undoubtedly one of our most talented comedic writers and actresses and it's a testament to the quality of her writing that she can attract such a big star," she said.
Davis will play the role of Gail Sinclair, the Queen of Daytime and star of Good Morning...with Gail Sinclair.
She said she was "looking forward to experimenting with friends whose work I love".
Schwimmer, who has mainly been working behind the camera and on stage since his 10-year stint on Friends ended, added: "I've been a massive fan of Julia's for years, and I'm thrilled to be able to finally work with her and Nick on this fantastic comedy."
Schwimmer is the second former Friends star to appear in a British TV comedy.
Matt Le Blanc has achieved international and critical success in the BBC's Episodes.
The Spaniard has been linked to the vacant Mercedes seat alongside Lewis Hamilton in 2017, following world champion Nico Rosberg's retirement.
But on a visit to McLaren's factory in Surrey, he said: "I believe in this project.
"I'm committed and I want to be world champion with McLaren-Honda."
The team announced his remarks on their Twitter account.
Alonso had earlier posted on Instagram a photo he had taken of some of the team's iconic cars in the ground-floor display area at the factory, accompanied by emojis with hearts in their eyes.
The 35-year-old's comments follow an interview his manager Flavio Briatore gave to the Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport last week in which he said: "We have an agreement with McLaren and we are going to respect that. It's simple."
Alonso is contracted to McLaren until the end of 2017, the final season of a three-year contract in which he earns a salary of $40m (£31.5m).
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said last week that he "had to consider" Alonso as a replacement for Rosberg, who announced his retirement five days after winning his first world title in the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi last month.
But BBC Sport revealed on Sunday that Wolff's number one choice is Williams driver Valtteri Bottas.
Mercedes last week made an offer for the Finn which included a reduction of Williams' engine bill by €10m (£8.3m) - more than half the total amount.
Williams have rejected this initial approach but negotiations are expected to continue this week.
Williams also have the option taking Mercedes reserve driver Pascal Wehrlein as a replacement for Bottas, although that is not a requirement of the deal.
Mercedes are reluctant to promote the German because they feel after just one season in F1 he lacks the experience to score sufficient regular points finishes to help the team win the constructors' championship.
Williams' reluctance to lose Bottas is related to the same issue. Their other driver is the Canadian rookie Lance Stroll and they feel they need a reliable, experienced figure as their lead performer to guarantee points.
Mercedes' problem is that all the potential candidates with sufficient experience and ability are under contract to other teams.
The decision was part of an "ongoing comprehensive review" of security measures at the White House and its surrounding grounds, the agency said.
It comes one month after a man armed with pepper spray jumped the fence and was inside the grounds for 16 minutes.
Two Secret Service agents who were on duty that night were fired.
President Donald Trump was there at the time, but the intruder did not make it into the White House building.
The new restriction moves public view on the south side of the White House about 82ft (25 metres) farther back from where people were previously able to stand.
Secret Service Communications Director Cathy Milhoan said on Wednesday "that vantage point... is still there. It's just a few feet further back".
A higher fence has also been approved for the White House, she told WTOP News.
The White House will begin viewing bids later this year, with construction to begin next year.
In 2014, a second barricade was erected on the northern side of the building in response to a fence-jumper who was able to run through the doorway of the building while carrying a knife.
That incident prompted Julia Pierson, the first woman to lead the agency, to resign.
The Welsh county eased to a seven-wicket win over Surrey in Guildford, the first time since 2010 that they had won three four-day matches in a row.
Glamorgan reached their target of 247 with a session to spare, with Will Bragg making 83 and Ben Wright 68.
"I can tell you we will be pushing for promotion," Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport.
"I've played for Yorkshire in the first division and I've got a good idea what it's about.
"I've said to the guys from the start that if we can get onto a run, we've got the makings of a team that can play in the first division."
The top two teams are promoted to Division One.
Surrey stay second in the table but Glamorgan have a game in hand and remain the last unbeaten side in the division.
Bragg, who also top-scored last year in a 50-overs win in Guildford, paid tribute to his captain.
"It's not about ifs and buts, we're here to win whatever the situation in the game," said Bragg.
"A lot of people and the media write us off but we know how good we can be and we've got a strongly-knit team.
"With Jacques Rudolph coming in as captain, he's been fantastic and we're making big strides."
Rudolph admits Glamorgan are dependent on keeping their frontline players fit with a relatively small first-team squad facing a hectic schedule of four-day and T20 games.
"It's going to be tricky to keep the guys fit but they are up for the challenge.
"At the moment no-one's injured so we've been very fortunate.
"It's going to be tough but the guys are well aware of that, and as long as they keep managing themselves well and I'm managing the amount of overs they bowl, we should be ok."
Glamorgan move straight to Essex for a T20 Blast game at Chelmsford on Friday, and entertain Sussex at the SSE Swalec Stadium on Sunday, 21 June, before hosting Leicestershire in the Championship the following day.
The race at the Sepang International Circuit has been a fixture on the F1 calendar every year since 1999.
Razlan Razali, the chief executive of the circuit, said Sepang, which can hold 120,000 fans, drew just 45,000 to the 2016 race on 2 October.
"If there is no economic value, why should we continue?" Razlan added.
Malaysian Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said competition from other Asian venues was also taking its toll.
He tweeted: "When we first hosted the F1 it was a big deal. First in Asia outside Japan. Now so many venues. No first mover advantage. Not a novelty."
By contrast, organisers of last weekend's United States Grand Prix say a record crowd of 269,889 attended over the three days at the Circuit of the Americas.
Last month it was announced that US firm Liberty Media would take over Formula 1 for $4.4bn (£3.3bn).
The 25-year-old from Glasgow took control after the interval when the players were tied at 2-2, resuming with a break of 96.
A tight final frame was settled when McGill cleared up after potting the last red.
The win lifts him from 29th to 18th in the world rankings.
Having never been beyond the last eight in a ranking event, McGill is Scotland's first new winner at this level in a decade.
He defeated former world champions Stuart Bingham and Shaun Murphy en route to the final.

City lost 3-0 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday - their third league defeat in a row - and now trail surprise leaders Leicester City by 10 points.
Title rivals Arsenal and Tottenham also lost, but centre-half Kompany said: "We can't make any more mistakes."
City are at home to bottom club Aston Villa this weekend, while Leicester visit Watford and Arsenal face Spurs.
"It is an awkward season," said Kompany. "Good for the fans, but you can't predict anything, can you?
"If there is one guarantee for this season, it is nothing is sure."
City, who have a game in hand on Leicester, have now lost eight times in the league this season, while Leicester have lost just three.
The last time City suffered three league defeats in a row was in 2008.
"We will see what is happening at the weekend," said Kompany. "We need to get the three points and maybe Leicester will drop some points."
His comments at a rally in Ohio came hours after suicide bombers killed 41 people at an airport in Istanbul.
"You have to fight fire with fire," said the Republican's likely nominee, after referring to IS beheadings.
Waterboarding, described by President Barack Obama as torture, was banned by the US in 2006.
The Turkish authorities believe the so-called Islamic State was behind the attacks at Ataturk International Airport on Tuesday.
"We have to fight so viciously and violently because we're dealing with violent people," Mr Trump said.
At one point, he asked the crowd: "What do you think about waterboarding?"
They cheered as he gave his answer: "I like it a lot. I don't think it's tough enough."
The New York tycoon lamented that the US is prevented from waterboarding but "they [Islamic State] can do chopping off heads, drowning people in steel cages, they can do whatever they want to do".
Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton, who will face Mr Trump in November's election, said in response to the attacks in Istanbul that the US "cannot retreat".
"We must deepen our co-operation with our allies and partners in the Middle East and Europe to take on this threat".
Mr Trump has faced much criticism - even from within his own party - by calling on the US to close its borders to Muslim arrivals.
Recently there are signs that he is retreating from that and instead recommending a ban from people arriving from "terror nations" although it's not clear which countries they are.
Earlier on Tuesday, he compared the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement to rape and threatened to confront China in a trade war.
He says that free trade, which has been Republican orthodoxy for many years, hurts American workers.
The club announced a deal to acquire land at Bramley Moore Dock on which to build the new £300m ground on Thursday.
Mayor Joe Anderson said talks about using the stadium, which will seat 50,000, will happen "in due course".
Liverpool has expressed an interest in hosting the event in 2022 after the original hosts Durban pulled out.
It follows the city's announcement in 2016 that it would bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Mr Anderson said in a report to the city council's cabinet, who are due to discuss a deal which would see the authority acting as guarantor for the football club on Friday, that the new offer would be an "accelerated" version of that plan.
He added that the club could submit a planning application by the end of 2017.
A council spokesman said the new ground would be the city's Commonwealth Games stadium, but further details were not available as "at the moment, we are just discussing the deal".
Bramley Moore Dock was announced as the preferred site for the club's proposed new stadium in January.
Two other Premier League sides have taken up residence at stadiums built for international multi-sport events in recent years - Manchester City, whose Etihad Stadium was part of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and West Ham United, who moved to the stadium used in the 2012 Olympics.
Red or Blue, most Liverpool residents will be behind the idea of regenerating North Liverpool's docklands.
If a new stadium can do for Kirkdale Ward what Manchester's Commonwealth Games stadium did for East Manchester, far more people will benefit from the plan than football fans.
Taken alongside the council's ambitious plans for what it calls the "Ten Streets" - essentially the roads shooting off the main thoroughfare to Bootle - this could be transformative for the area.
It is already coming alive with art. The influential gang behind The Kazimier recently opened their new venue nearby, and there are tech start-ups and social enterprises springing up amongst the pubs and garages.
But, Liverpool has seen a few false dawns when it comes to massive regeneration projects - and stadiums - and there is the small issue of decent transport links to sort out before hoards of sports fans can be welcomed.
But a charity which helps farmers and rural families in Northern Ireland says there's been a 25% increase in the number of farmers calling them for help in the past year.
Rural Support's chief executive, Jude McCann, told the BBC the most common reason for calls was financial worries.
He was speaking at the Farmers Health Conference, in Cookstown, County Tyrone, on Thursday.
Health organisations and government groups came together to discuss the problems facing farmers.
Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill has blamed falling farm gate prices for some of the stress farmers face.
She says: "People are at the end of their tether.
"There is no doubt about it, this has been such a financially challenging year.
"The prices they're receiving are putting farmers out of business and the impact on them is obvious. I am engaging with farmers who aren't sleeping because of the worry and the stress they are under. It's just so important that we have this conversation."
The conference brought together people from across the agri-health sector to try and improve the support services currently on offer.
Community mental health worker, Mellissa Andrews, told delegates a more tailored support is needed to reach out to farmers.
"Not everyone is comfortable going to a meditation class, or yoga or even a computer class - that's not the farmers' way," she says.
"The best thing to do would be to get out there into their communities; the local shows and vintage rallies and meet them on their own level."
Cormac McKervey is agri-manager at the Ulster Bank and deals with farmers everyday.
He says that although the bank has to focus on the financial side of things, they need to be aware of what support services are out there too.
"There's all the social issues and the impact on the family inside the farm door, which we don't have access to.
"The biggest single thing we can do is to make our staff aware of the issues and the trigger points, to be aware that maybe this farmer needs more than purely financial help.
"If we can signpost them to rural support or other agencies that are trying to help them then hopefully we've done something."
The man had an accident at work in 2014 and went on sick leave.
Concerns were raised about the length of time he was off and the suspicion he could be exaggerating his condition to assist in a personal injury claim.
As a result a senior manager authorised covert surveillance.
In June 2015, the man was filmed laying several flagstones in the driveway at the front of his house.
As a result he was sacked for gross misconduct.
The tribunal found that this was a "reasonable response" by Bombardier.
The six, all from Birmingham, appeared at West London Magistrates' Court.
Irfan Nasser, 30, of Sparkhill, Irfan Khalid, 26, and Ashik Ali, 26 both of Balsall Heath, and Rahin Ahmed, 25, of Moseley, have been remanded in custody until 21 October.
Bahader Ali, 28, of Sparkbrook, and Mohammed Rizwan, 32, of Ward End, have been remanded until 24 October.
Mr Nasser, Mr Khalid, Mr Ashik Ali and Mr Ahmed are due to appear at the Old Bailey, while Mr Rizwan and Mr Bahader Ali - who is the brother of Ashik Ali - are to appear before Westminster magistrates.
Mr Nasser and Mr Khalid are accused of preparing for an act of terrorism, including travelling to Pakistan for training in terrorism, making a martyrdom video and planning a bombing campaign.
They are accused of "being concerned in constructing" a home-made explosive device for terrorist acts and stating an intention to be a suicide bomber.
Ashik Ali is accused of preparing for an act of terrorism, which involved planning a bombing campaign, providing premises for the planning of terrorist attack and stating an intention to be a suicide bomber.
Mr Ahmed is accused of helping fund terrorist acts, collecting money for terrorism and helping others travel to Pakistan for training in terrorism.
Mr Rizwan and Bahader Ali are both charged with failing to disclose information about potential acts of terrorism.
It is alleged that between 29 July and 19 September both men had information which they knew may help prevent the commission of an act of terrorism.
Mr Ali is also charged with "arranging the availability of property for terrorist purposes".
Mr Rizwan made no application for bail, while Mr Ali was refused bail.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between Christmas Day 2010 and 19 September this year.
The men were arrested after a police operation in Birmingham last week.
A seventh man from the city, aged 20, who was arrested on Thursday, continues to be questioned. Officers have until 29 September to charge, release or apply for further time.
The men were arrested as part of an operation carried out by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit. Police said the arrests were unarmed, pre-planned and intelligence-led.
Timeline: Justice for Rachel Nickell
Police 'errors' in Nickell probe
Serial rapist Robert Napper admitted killing Ms Nickell on Wimbledon Common, south-west London in 1992.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found Napper, 42, was identified as a threat to women in the mid-1980s.
The Met said it "regrets" that Napper "was able to carry out dreadful acts".
Colin Stagg, the man wrongly accused of murdering Ms Nickell said he was considering through his solicitor whether to pursue his own complaint through the IPCC.
His solicitor Alex Tribeck said his client wanted to ensure that the "professional negligence" of the Metropolitan Police should never be repeated.
But it said it did not intend to read out a statement of apology.
The IPCC said two other killings by Napper could have been prevented.
Samantha Bissett and her four-year-old daughter Jazmine were killed at their home in Plumstead, south London, in 1993.
Ms Nickell, 23, was sexually assaulted and stabbed 49 times by Napper in front of her two-year-old son Alex.
The IPCC says the Met apologised in private to Ms Nickell's partner, Andre Hanscombe, and to Alex but recommended it should now issue an "unreserved" public apology.
In a statement, the Met said Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick will write to Alex and Mr Hanscombe to apologise again and she has offered him a face-to-face meeting.
"The Met has accepted that more could, and should have been done, and had more been done we could have been in a better position to have prevented very serious attacks by Napper," the statement added.
A Met spokeswoman later made clear that it regards the statement it issued this morning about the Rachel Nickell case as a "public apology", as called for by the IPCC.
But she said the Met does not intend to read out a statement of apology.
Reacting to the report, Mr Hanscombe said the IPCC shared his "sense of shock and disbelief" at the police errors.
He added: "Nothing is going to bring Rachel, Samantha or Jazmine back.
"But having had some time to come to terms with this new reality, I now believe the best way to serve those who paid most heavily is to make sure all the lessons have been learned, to make sure that this could never happen again."
Samantha Bisset's step-father, Jack Morrison, said he was not prepared to criticise the Met.
"We have a very good police force, but we can all make mistakes," he said.
"The police have been extremely kind to me and my family since Samantha's death, right up until the present time."
By Dominic CascianiBBC News Home Affairs correspondent
Mothers don't usually contact the police to say their son is a rapist.
But had the Metropolitan Police acted on the 1989 call from Robert Napper's mother, they could have got him before he attacked more women and murdered Rachel Nickel and Samantha and Jazmine Bisset.
The IPCC's report underlines "gross errors of judgement", but it is largely symbolic because officers who could have been disciplined have retired.
The Met says it has changed. Modern detective work is less about hunches and card indexes and more about rolling reviews of what teams know, with computers to help join the evidential dots.
Investigators are trained and retrained and a national murder squad manual guides decisions in the incident room.
This modernisation has come from above.
The IPPC believes these changes have trickled down - and that the culture of officers who might come across another Robert Napper has changed too.
Rachel Cerfontyne, the IPCC Commissioner, said officers "inconceivably" eliminated Napper over a series of rapes on parkland in south London - known as the Green Chain rapes - because he was thought to be too tall.
She said: "It is clear that throughout the investigations into the Green Chain rapes and Rachel Nickell's death there was a catalogue of bad decisions and errors made by the Metropolitan Police.
"The police failed to sufficiently investigate after Napper's mother called police to report that he had confessed to her that he had raped a woman and, inconceivably, they eliminated Napper from inquiries into the Green Chain rapes because he was over 6ft tall.
"Without these errors, Robert Napper could have been off the streets before he killed Rachel Nickell and the Bissets, and before numerous women suffered violent sexual attacks at his hands."
Ms Cerfontyne said the mistakes by the force were "dreadful".
But she said no police officer will face disciplinary action because they had all retired, and one key senior detective has died.
Many of the mistakes had been publicised after Napper had been convicted.
But the IPCC said it had received fresh information from an ex-police officer that Napper had come to the attention of a police sergeant as a "serious threat to women" in the mid-1980s.
Another person said he contacted police two months after Rachel Nickell's death to say that he had overhead a conversation in a pub between Napper and a friend in which they were laughing about the killing.
A record on a police intelligence system in 2002 said Napper confessed to killing Rachel Nickell while he was detained in Broadmoor in 1997 or 1998.
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in December 2008.
Colin Stagg was cleared of her murder by the Old Bailey in 1994, after spending 13 months on remand.
He was subsequently awarded £706,000 in compensation from the Home Office in 2008 for wrongful arrest.
The Syria Solidarity Campaign said 10-year-old Ali "passed away today due to his injuries from the bombing of his house by Russia/Assad".
Russian and Syrian jets have carried out heavy raids on rebel-held areas.
Omran, five, was filmed caked in dust and blood after his home was hit.
The pictures - symbolising the suffering of Aleppo's trapped civilians - caused worldwide outrage.
An unidentified witness in Aleppo quoted by Reuters news agency said Ali Daqneesh had suffered internal bleeding and organ damage after the 17 August bombing.
And a tweet from Kareem Shaheen, a Middle East reporter, said: "Have confirmed with Omar Daqneesh's doctor, his older brother died from wounds sustained during strike that wounded Omran".
Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial centre, has been divided roughly in two since 2012, with the government controlling the west and rebels the east.
That is because the singer will play two concerts on the tree-lined Belfast street that gave its name to one of his songs to mark his 70th birthday.
People from around the world have descended on Morrison's home city for the shows taking place a short distance from where he spent his childhood.
Among them is one Vanatic who has travelled more than 10,000 miles for what will be his "dream come true".
For Andrew Robertson, from Adelaide in Australia, Morrison's lyrics on the song Saint Dominic's Preview that "it's a long way to Belfast city, too" ring truer than they do to most people who will be at the show.
He has had a near life-long obsession with Morrison's music, and along with his wife Gayle has secured tickets to both gigs.
"Some people think we're mad, others are amused," he said.
He has already seen Morrison in concert twice since he arrived in Northern Ireland, at two intimate gigs at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle, County Down.
Mr Robertson first heard Morrison's songs when he was a teenager and was immediately hooked.
"In the '60s, music was so exciting - the Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. But of everyone, the voice that stood out for me was Van.
"He has an amazing voice. He's often been called the best blues singer.
"His musical style, how he has embraced rock, soul, jazz, traditional celtic and other forms to create virtually his own version.
"He can write in a unique and simple way. "
Mr Robertson said he was aware of people from 18 different countries, including the United States, India and South Africa, that have journeyed to Belfast for the gigs.
It is the first time the Australian native has visited Ireland.
On Sunday, he will join about 200 others at a gathering of international fans who have arrived in Belfast for the sold-out Cyprus Avenue shows.

They include reducing the period of bankruptcy to three years from the current 12 years.
The reform of personal insolvency laws is a response to some of the problems thrown up by the country's banking and property crash.
High profile property developers and individual home owners have been saddled with huge, unpayable debts.
In many countries the solution for these people is to declare bankruptcy and then try to make a fresh start.
In the UK, the period of bankruptcy typically lasts for a year, after which former bankrupts can regain their financial freedom.
However the long bankruptcy period in the Republic makes it an unattractive option - in 2010 just 30 people were declared bankrupt.
"Bankruptcy tourism" is also becoming an issue with Irish people declaring bankruptcy in the UK. At least four major property developers have gone down this path.
Ireland's former richest man Sean Quinn also declared bankruptcy in Northern Ireland, a decision which was later overturned by the High Court in Belfast. He was then bankrupted in Dublin.
Making the announcement the Minister Alan Shatter said: "The bill will radically reform our insolvency legislation and, in particular, will assist those in unexpected difficulties as a result of the current fiscal, economic and employment conditions.
"When enacted, this legislation will be one of the key legislative instruments for addressing the financial difficulties of general insolvency, mortgage debt and negative equity."
Across the typically mild South, about 750,000 homes and businesses lack power, and about 6,500 flights have been cancelled.
The weather system has affected people in about 22 states from Texas to Maine and caused at least 18 deaths.
The storm dumped up to 15in (30cm) of snow in the Washington DC region and 8in around New York City overnight.
Snow-covered streets were deserted during the morning commute in the nation's capital, where the federal government shut down its offices.
As much as 10-20 inches of snow in total could fall from north-eastern Pennsylvania to New England on Thursday, said the National Weather Service.
Almost 6,500 flights were cancelled on Thursday, according to airline-tracking website FlightAware.com.
While temperatures at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, rose to 17C (63F), the US was shivering in bitter cold once again.
In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio was criticised for keeping schools open despite the snow piling on the ground.
"Why [aren't] schools all around NYC closed? It's going to take some kid or kids getting hurt before this goofball policy gets changed," Al Roker, a prominent meteorologist and television figure on NBC, wrote on Twitter. He is currently in Sochi, Russia, for the Olympics, but has a child in a city school.
Mr de Blasio responded that many parents depended on schools to watch over their children while they work.
Ironically, a celebration of winter tourism in the village of Lake Placid, New York state, was cancelled because of the storm.
Described by the National Weather Service as an event of "historical proportions", the storm leaves in its southern wake a wreckage of snapped tree branches and power lines coated in as much as an inch of ice, motorways turned to car parks, road accidents and residents shivering in darkened homes.
Forecasters said it was one of the worst storms to strike Atlanta, the largest city in the South, since 1973.
President Barack Obama declared a disaster in the state of South Carolina and all northern counties in Georgia, opening the way for federal aid.
On Wednesday evening, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it was moving supplies, including generators, meals, water, blankets and cots to an emergency centre in Atlanta.
At least 18 deaths have been blamed on the storm, many of them in traffic accidents.
Three people were killed on Wednesday when an ambulance slid off a west Texas road, flipped over and caught fire.
Meanwhile, a firefighter died when an out-of-control vehicle knocked him off an icy motorway bridge in Dallas, Texas. And a pregnant woman in New York City was killed after being struck by a snow plough. Her baby was delivered in critical condition via caesarean section.
A man in Georgia was killed after slipping and falling on a patch of ice.
On Wednesday, thousands of vehicles were stranded on snow-shrouded motorways around Raleigh, North Carolina, with some people abandoning their vehicles.
Soo Keith, of Raleigh, left her office shortly after midday, but after two hours had only driven a few miles.
She told the Associated Press news agency she eventually abandoned her vehicle and continued on foot, arriving home four hours later.
"My face is all frozen, my glasses are all frozen, my hair is all frozen," said Ms Keith.
Residents of Georgia appeared to have heeded official warnings, with motorways in the state clear but with many people stuck at home without electric power.
"Thanks to the people of Georgia," Governor Nathan Deal said. "You have shown your character."
Mr Deal asked those waiting for power to be restored to be patient, saying he was hearing of "good response times" from the state's utilities. | Olympic champion Jade Jones began the defence of her overall World Taekwondo Grand Prix title with sudden death defeat in the -57kg final in Moscow.

Channel Nine said Sally Faulkner and its four employees were headed to Beirut's airport to catch a flight.
A judge said they could leave the country after the children's father, Ali Elamine, agreed to drop all "personal" charges against them.
They could face trial in absentia if the "public" charges are not dropped.
Two British men and two Lebanese men also allegedly involved in the attempt to recover the children for Ms Faulkner continue to be detained.
Ms Faulkner says her estranged husband moved their six-year-old daughter Lahala and four-year-old son Noah to Lebanon from Australia last year without her permission - something he denies.
On Wednesday morning, Ms Faulkner and Channel Nine journalist Tara Brown appeared before the judge at a hearing outside the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Afterwards, lawyers confirmed that a settlement had been agreed in front of the judge that saw Ms Faulkner surrender any claims of custody for Lahala and Noah.
"She will accept that the children will stay with their father," Ms Faulkner's lawyer, Ghassan Moughabhab, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. "Taking into consideration the Lebanese law, he's in the right."
Mr Elamine told reporters: "We reached a point where it is enough for her [Ms Faulkner] being detained. It is wrong for the children and for her as a mother."
He said he would raise the children in Lebanon and allow Ms Faulkner to visit them, adding: "There's still a bit of tension, but at the end of the day, we have to come to some sort of balanced relation."
The judge, Rami Abdullah, said the state still had to review whether to drop the public charges, but that the Australians would be free to leave Lebanon.
"There is a crime that happened, and everyone has a role in the affair," he added.
Ms Faulkner was charged last Thursday with kidnapping and belonging to a criminal gang. Ms Brown, along with cameraman Benjamin Williamson, sound recorder David Ballment and producer Stephen Rice, were charged with kidnapping, physical assault, hiding information and criminal conspiracy.
The Channel Nine crew allegedly filmed the children being seized as they headed to school in southern Beirut on 6 April with a domestic worker and their paternal grandmother, who says she was knocked to the ground.
CCTV footage shows the children being bundled into a car by several men.
Asked whether he was angry with the TV crew, Mr Elamine said: "They were probably just doing their job, they probably didn't expect it to go that way."
However, Channel Nine reported that Mr Elamine did not want the charges dropped against the two British employees of the UK-based company Child Abduction Recovery International (CARI), Adam Whittington and Craig Michael.

It comes as all activities of the Sport Wales board were suspended.
It claims Sport Wales, which promotes Welsh grassroots and elite sport, "lacks transparency" and risks being broken up unless it agrees to change.
Sport Wales said: "We will continue to work with Welsh Government on this."
The review was commissioned and led by Sport Wales' chairman Paul Thomas, who was appointed in March, in consultation with Welsh Government ministers.
The findings are based on research by an independent firm, which provided the information for the 26-page document.
Sport Wales is in "danger of stagnating", suffers from a managerial "unwillingness to listen" and does not do enough to engage with people outside its Cardiff base, according to the findings.
Issues highlighted as needing to be addressed include communication, leadership, strategy, organisational structure and processes, relationships, governance and funding and collaboration.
The recommendations are to be formed into an action plan to be presented to the Welsh Government, with a view to implement them from January and April 2017 onwards.
"Fundamental change is not an option but a necessity," Thomas wrote in the review.
"The choice facing Sport Wales is very clear.
"Respond to the challenges faced by Wales and its Government and by communities and individuals in a way which acknowledges the views and needs of stakeholders as well as the key national objectives.
"Or, face being broken up into an elite organisation and a health driven body geared to increasing physical activity and wellbeing."
Sport Wales is the national organisation responsible for developing and promoting sport and active lifestyles.
Working alongside partners such as governing bodies for sport and local authorities, it says its aim is to achieve shared aspirations of getting every child "hooked on sport" for life and Wales being a nation of champions.
Sport Wales is the main adviser on sporting matters to the Welsh Government and is responsible for distributing National Lottery funds to elite and grassroots sport in Wales.
Welsh Government funding for sport is channelled through Sport Wales, which has a number of grants schemes to increase levels of physical activity and sport.
For 2016-17, the Welsh Government has provided Grant in Aid funding of £22.4m to Sport Wales.
Sport Wales has 160 staff members based across four locations in Wales - a head office in Cardiff and regional offices in Carmarthen, Deeside and Caernarfon.
An Olympic and Commonwealth Games coach was among those to speak anonymously in the review.
"Elite sport would function without Sport Wales, and we do, as I produce several Olympic and Commonwealth medallists, without any help from Sport Wales," the coach said.
"It is about time that this review has been created, as a nation to roll our sleeves up and make change happen for our communities and citizens and sport in Wales."
Another source speaking anonymously, the chair of a national governing body (NGB), said: "During my time, over 20 years, as a stakeholder in Sport Wales I have been repeatedly surprised by how insular Sport Wales is as an organisation.
"I do not believe the organisation is fit for purpose nor can it recognise the need to change indeed it has become institutionalised by its own insular culture."
Sport Wales has set medal targets for the past Olympics and Commonwealth Games, which were surpassed to produce Wales' most successful multi-games in history.
But writing in the review, Thomas argues medal targets should only be one part of the governing body's objectives.
"In all of this it must be stressed that the winning of medals at major games is not an overriding priority but one that must be balanced against all other competing priorities," he says.
"Sport Wales must satisfy a complex set of political, economic and social objectives.
"Sport Wales must have a culture of openness and transparency. A reliance on the status quo is probably the most significant risk facing this organisation over the next decade.
"The successful work Sport Wales has done in the past has meant sport already plays a significant and varied role in many people's daily lives in Wales and will continue to do so under my leadership. However this is no longer enough." | Sport Wales has been warned it must have a major overhaul and is accused of being "obsolete in its thinking" and "weak in vision" in a report seen by the BBC. | 38,068,508 | 883 | 44 | false |
The project will see better access to the sunken park in the city centre as well as a cafe and gallery space.
Glasgow-based architects LDA Design came up with the plans which were backed by 94% of those who responded to a public consultation.
The cost of the project has not been revealed - but earlier estimates put it at about £20m.
Work could begin on the redevelopment later this year.
The proposals include new access from Union Street and Union Terrace at the existing Burns Monument.
The central lawn space would be retained, and there would be a new café pavilion opposite His Majesty's Theatre.
Four years ago, councillors rejected plans for a £140m transformation of the gardens.

Back in 2010, Sinn Féin's former director of publicity Danny Morrison met the Prince of Wales in a field in Glastonbury.
BBC News NI online covered the story at the time but a conversation between the BBC's Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler and Mr Morrison on Wednesday brought to light photographs that had captured the meeting.
Mr Morrison was at the festival with an assortment of family members and it had been an annual event for the past 15 or 20 years.
He was relaxing with friends in the healing fields, an environmentally friendly area at the festival when he spotted Prince Charles.
"Bono and U2 had been due to play that weekend and Bono had fallen and hurt his back in Germany, so we were lying in this field and could see some sort of fuss and this group of people walking towards us and somebody said 'I bet it's Bono coming to apologise for not being able to play'," he recalled.
"I got up and Prince Charles was walking towards me along with Michael Eavis, the founder of the festival, so I just went over towards him and put my hand out and I said 'how are you' and he sort of scrutinised me and said 'do I know you?'
"I sort of told a white lie and I said 'yes, I had been at a dinner at Hillsborough Castle' to which he said, 'oh, right, right, right'.
"I don't think he was being right, I remember, I think he was just being courteous."
It was a brief encounter.
"He was only allowed to stay in the one spot, for about 25 to 30 seconds, then some of the plain clothes policemen moved in and said 'Your Highness we need to move on'," he said.
"At that stage I turned around and had a conversation with Michael Eavis because I was explaining to him that I wanted him to come to the West Belfast Festival to do a guest interview. Then he moved on."
Mr Morrison found the prince to be smaller than he expected, but "very, very warm and affable with everybody, comfortable".
"In fact I'm not even sure when the word selfie was brought into the lexicon but people were getting photographs taken left right and centre and he didn't object," he said.
Reflecting on Gerry Adams' meeting with Prince Charles in Galway, Mr Morrison described it as "extremely important, as a symbol of reconciliation".
"All sides have hurt each other," he said.
"Leadership is about leading and although we're republicans we have to recognise the fact that the British public revere, both the Queen and Prince Charles as the future king, they revere them as their heads of state so I think it was the right diplomatic thing to do.
"It also had greater significance because of the conflict here and because of Gerry Adams representing republicanism and Prince Charles representing the head of state."
The magazine said a profile of Mr Tsarnaev suited its "commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage".
But the mayor of Boston said the publication's cover "rewards a terrorist with celebrity treatment".
A number of US retail chains have announced they will not stock the edition.
Mr Tsarnaev, 19, pleaded not guilty last week to all charges in connection with the 15 April bombings, which killed three people, including an eight-year-old boy.
Janet Reitman, Rolling Stone's contributing editor, spent two months interviewing Mr Tsarnaev's friends and family for the forthcoming issue's article.
In a statement appended to the top of the story, the magazine's editors said on Wednesday their "hearts go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing".

Had this picture appeared on the front cover of a news magazine, like Time or Newsweek, there would not have been a social media backlash. Indeed, the same portrait featured prominently on the front page of the New York Times in May without controversy. Rolling Stone is different because it's done so much over the decades to shape American popular and celebrity culture.
To some, then, a bomb suspect is being depicted as a cultural icon. The sepia-tinted photograph, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appears rather dreamy and vacant, looks like a relic from the 70s. Again, it has fuelled criticisms that the magazine is softening, even glamorising, his alleged crimes.
This controversy also says a lot about the state of the American magazine market, and the pressure on publications to produce eye-catching and newsy images. This week Newsweek spliced together the portraits of the Florida teenager Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, the man acquitted last weekend of his murder. Bloomberg's Businessweek depicted a hedge-fund manager with a graph coming from his groin that intentionally looked phallic.
"The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day," it said.
It added that many of its readers are in the same age group as the bombing suspect, and it was important for the publication to explore the issue.
But two Massachusetts-based convenience store chains, Rockland and Tedeschi Food Shops, as well as Cumberland Farms, said on Wednesday they would not stock the edition.
Two national pharmacy chains, CVS and Walgreens, quickly followed suit.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said on Wednesday the Rolling Stone was "ill-conceived, at best, and reaffirms a terrible message that destruction gains fame for killers and their 'causes'".
Boston City Council President Stephen Murphy said the cover was "disgusting".
"Rolling Stone has marketed Tsarnaev as a hero, a misunderstood teen, a product of two incompatible cultures," he said in a statement.
"He is not. He is a coward and a murderer who is appropriately facing the death penalty for his crimes."
Commentators on social media networks also said the magazine cover was tasteless.
Some likened the picture of the suspect, which he posted online himself, to an old Rolling Stone cover featuring Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors.
More than 15,000 mainly outraged comments were posted on Rolling Stone's Facebook page.
Boston punk band Dropkick Murphys, who recently donated $300,000 (£197,000) to victims of the bombings, also expressed their anger.
"Rolling Stone you should be ashamed," the band tweeted. "How about one of the courageous victims on your cover instead of this loser scum bag!"
The Sunday Times has said Montgomeryshire's Glyn Davies, 70, was just seven miles (11 km) from Rochester when he played on a nearby course.
But he told BBC Wales he cannot canvass because he has a bad back and cannot walk far.
Mr Davies said he could play golf because he used a buggy.
Conservative Chief Whip Michael Gove is understood to have had ordered MPs to visit the area three times before Thursday's by-election against Mark Reckless, the Tory MP who defected to UKIP.
But Mr Davies admitted he had not visited the area once, but did go to the nearby Tudor Park Marriott Hotel and Country Club with his wife for bed and breakfast and a round of golf.
"It's a pretty silly story, really," he said.
"I don't like to make too much of a fuss of things that can go wrong really - but generally speaking I can't walk great distances and I can't stand up for very long."
He said no-one in the party had complained he had not followed Mr Gove's orders.
"I wouldn't have thought they'd want me to go down there and stand on the side of the street and not be able to walk round," he said.
"I can only play golf with a buggy and I tend to do it (canvassing) on the telephone."
He said a community meeting in his constituency prevented him from going to Rochester after his golfing trip.
Mr Baird was not hit, though some eggs struck his motorcade.
Canada is considered one of Israel's closest allies.
It voted against the Palestinians' successful UN bid to become a non-member state and has opposed their recent move to join the International Criminal Court.
Mr Baird was in Ramallah to meet Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki, during a five-day trip to the region. His visit came a day after the ICC said it was opening a "preliminary examination into the situation in Palestine".
Mr Baird said he and Mr Malki had held "cordial and constructive" talks that included "candid and frank exchanges on areas where we differ in opinion".
"I asked that the minister strongly reconsider the consequences of moving forward with any action that may be counterproductive to a negotiated solution with the state of Israel."
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat, who did not meet Mr Baird, issued a statement expressing his anger at Canada's backing for Israel.
"We regret the Canadian government's decision to stand on the wrong side of history by blindly supporting the Israeli occupation and its apartheid policies," he said.
Harsh critics of Israel level the charge of apartheid - the system of state-sanctioned racial discrimination once practised by South Africa - against the Jewish state over its treatment of Palestinians and Israeli-Arab minority. Israel says the accusation is baseless and a part of efforts to demonise it.
He criticised Mr Baird for meeting Israeli officials in occupied east Jerusalem in 2013.
Later on Sunday, Mr Baird met Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in Jerusalem. Arriving there, he said an ICC decision to open its preliminary examination was "deeply regrettable".
Mr Lieberman thanked Canada for its support. "The opposition of one of the founders of the ICC is very important, maybe crucial," he said.
The Palestinians will formally join the ICC on 1 April and have asked it to investigate Israeli "crimes" since June 2014.
This covers events prior to and during last summer's conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza.
Israel and the US have strongly criticised the Palestinians' move.
The governors say that they are writing in response to a previous letter signed by 28 teachers which, they allege, was critical of school inspectors and the acting-principal and vice-principal.
Despite the governors writing that "we do not expect it to see it on any website or other media," the letter has been obtained by the BBC.
An inspection by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) published on 9 January highlighted "poor working relationships" at the 1,100 pupil post-primary school.
The governors' letter to all members of the teaching staff is also dated 9 January.
It alleges that "comments regarding the acting principal and vice principal" made in the previous letter were "totally unacceptable and potentially libellous".
It also said that there is "resistance to improvements by a small group of staff who consider they have no obligation or responsibility for the difficulties which the school has encountered".
The letter also criticises those teachers "with a post of responsibility in the management structure" who signed the earlier letter for failing to see their involvement in shaping the current situation.
It concludes by inviting teachers who feel "that they do not have the qualities or commitment necessary to professionally address the obvious deficiencies in the school" to "carefully consider their position".
The letter also mentions that the "school is subject to monitoring by Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) because of malpractice in the operation of De La Salle as an examination centre in 2016".
There have been a number of difficulties at De La Salle over the past year including staff disputes and protests by some parents.
Northampton Borough Council sold the 4,000-year-old Sekhemka statue in July.
Arts Council England has ruled the council ineligible for a series of grants because of the sale.
The funding was being sought for an exhibition of designer shoes dating from the 19th Century to the present. The council said it was "disappointed".
As well as losing Arts Council "accreditation", the Museums Association has decided to ban the council from membership for five years.
But the authority said it had already decided to resign its membership.
Arts Council England said the sale of Sekhemka breached the accredited standards for how museums managed their collections.
Money from the auction at Christie's was shared with Lord Northampton, whose ancestors donated the statue to Northampton Museum.
The HLF said it had rejected Northampton Council's Collecting Cultures application for £240,400 because it was ineligible for that particular programme.
This programme requires Arts Council eligibility as part of its criteria, a spokeswoman said.
"We would assess any other future applications from the council on their own merits," she said.
The borough council received £130,000 in 2008 from the HLF for a Collecting Cultures project called Trainers, Sneakers, Pumps and Daps.
The council said it understood the HLF had a duty to fund a wide range of projects and was disappointed to miss out.
The proposed Digital Bill of Rights would protect personal information and impose tougher penalties on theft and illegal sale of data.
The party has pledged to introduce it within six months of a new coalition government.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the bill would "stop information about our lives being misused".
"We need to ensure that consumers, businesses, journalists and our children are protected in the online world," he said, launching a consultation on the plans.
The party said the bill would "beef up" powers for the Information Commissioner to inspect companies that break data protection laws.
It would give legal rights to compensation for consumers from companies which get people to sign up online to deliberately misleading or unreadable terms and conditions.
Other measures contained in the proposal include a code of practice for websites to correct defamatory or inaccurate information.
It would also enshrine in law the responsibility of the government to defend press freedom for journalists and citizen journalists online.
Julian Huppert, the Lib Dem's election candidate for Cambridge, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that individual rights could be enforced without harming freedom of expression.
"Yes you want free speech but we've said for many, many centuries, that there should also be the right not to be defamed," he said.
"I think it is right to protect the citizen from having that sort of attack."
In 2013, more than 500 writers from around the world signed an open letter to the United Nations urging it to create an international bill of digital rights.
The letter condemned the scale of state surveillance after whistle-blower Edward Snowden leaked information about surveillance carried out by the US Government.
The 58-year-old victim was in Church Street, Workington, on 15 July when she was targeted by Jack Walker, 18.
She was beaten so badly during the assault she suffered two swollen eyes and needed stitches, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
Walker, of Dean Street, Workington, admitted rape and grievous bodily harm. He was jailed for 11 years.
He also admitted sexual assault and attempted rape.
Det Con Jim Grattan, of Cumbria Police, said the victim had "shown true bravery" throughout the investigation.
"There is no excuse for Walker's unthinkable actions and I am glad that he is now facing a significant sentence for his crimes", he said.
"His victim was innocently walking her dog when Walker forced himself upon and conducted his brutal attack.
Walker will also go on the Sex Offenders' Register indefinitely.
This debate, as well as recent differences of opinion between the leader and his shadow cabinet, have focused attention on the complex process by which policies will end up in Labour's manifesto.
Here's a guide:
Labour Party policy is the result of consultation with members, elected representatives (MPs, MEPs and councillors) and the trade unions.
The main body for shaping policy is the National Policy Forum, an elected group of over 200 people representing councillors, trade unions, socialist societies and MPs. It produces reports on the different policy areas, which are presented at annual conference and either accepted or rejected in a vote.
For manifesto policy, there is a formal consultation process which culminates in a meeting of the forum the year before the general election to agree the final details of what will form the foundation of Labour's next manifesto.
This document is then put before conference for adoption as Labour's policy programme. No proposal is included in the party programme unless it is adopted by a majority of not less than two-thirds of a conference vote.
Importantly, conference votes whether to accept or reject large policy documents as a whole - not on individual policies or line by line.
When Labour is not in government, the final say on which items make it into the manifesto is made at a meeting of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC), the shadow cabinet and key figures from both the Parliamentary Labour Party and the National Policy Forum.
Day to day policy-making on Labour's position on votes that arise in the House of Commons is slightly different. It relies on a looser and more informal process based on consultation and consent with the shadow cabinet, Labour MPs and the NEC.
The annual autumn conference is described by Labour as "the ultimate authority in the party".
Labour's Conference Arrangements Committee oversees the agenda and sets the timetable. If it accepts a motion, they are grouped into topics and conference delegates choose four topics submitted by local Labour parties and four topics from trade unions.
Once the broad topic headings have been picked, all the representatives of the local Labour parties or trade unions who tabled a motion on each topic must get together and put all their different motions into one "composite" motion that is acceptable to everyone.
The final composite motions are then scheduled for debate on the conference floor.
Roughly 10,000 people are expected to attend this year's Labour Party conference but only around 1,000 of these are delegates eligible to vote.
Delegates come from three places: local Labour parties, trade unions and socialist societies.
Crucially, these delegates will not include any of the 62,000 new members who have joined Labour since Jeremy Corbyn became leader. That's because to be a delegate you must have had 12 months' continuous party membership at the delegate registration deadline, which was in June this year.
The local parties and trade unions (along with other affiliated socialist societies) each make up 50% of the vote on the conference floor.
Delegates can vote for something to be included in the party programme based on a majority of not less than two-thirds.
But remember, only eight topics are chosen for debate at conference. Since, as explained above, all groups who submitted motions on a certain policy area have to get together to agree a final draft motion acceptable to everyone, what's adopted often ends up being quite vague and agreeable to everyone.
Affiliated trade union members get half of the votes at conference, but this is on a one member, one vote basis. Former Labour leader John Smith abolished the trade union bloc vote and replaced it with individual votes for each union delegate.
This meant union bosses could no longer wield huge numbers of votes which would sway party policy. Unions have also drastically reduced in size from the days when they would dominate Labour policy-making.
Any leader has scope to influence policy through personal authority.
Jeremy Corbyn, for example, can refer to his decisive mandate of being elected by almost 60% of voters in the Labour leadership election. But that doesn't mean he can dictate policy.
Members of the shadow cabinet and Labour MPs are well represented on Labour's key policy-making bodies.
The threat of shadow cabinet resignations is a serious consideration for any leader. Lord Falconer has already publicly threatened to quit as shadow justice secretary if the Labour leader campaigns for the UK to leave the European Union.
And Labour MPs could simply choose to rebel against official party policy in any Commons votes on issues they are at odds with Jeremy Corbyn on, with likely clashes set to include military intervention in Syria and Trident renewal.
Some Labour MPs argue they were elected in their constituencies on their own mandates according to the policies outlined in Labour's 2015 general election manifesto.
Yes. Policy is made collectively in the Labour party, not by any single individual.
Politically all Labour leaders have no doubt been constrained at times by the overwhelming view of the shadow cabinet, or threats by the trade unions to cut off their funding.
Both those who support and oppose Jeremy Corbyn seem agreed on this point.
However, the leader's office exerts a significant degree of influence, and is on occasion able to bend the ear of the party's policy-making institutions and representatives.
During the Labour leadership contest Mr Corbyn repeatedly said he wanted to "democratise" Labour's policy-making process and "empower party members".
As leader he has suggested decisions taken at party conference will become binding policy. Asked whether scrapping the Trident nuclear weapons system would become party policy if conference votes that way, he told The New Statesman: "Well, it would be, of course, because it would have been passed at conference."
However, the Labour Party's rule book appears to stipulate that if Mr Corbyn does want to change the process (as Ed Miliband and other opposition leaders have tended to do), he must first ask the National Executive Committee to put any such changes on the conference agenda. These must then by passed by delegates in a vote at conference.
Brian Webb, owner of Webbs of Leverington, Cambridgeshire, began offering customers in nearby villages a 30p next-day service in March.
Since then he has sold 80,000 stamps at half the cost of the Royal Mail's first-class postal service.
Deliveries have doubled to 2,000 items per day since 1 December, he said.
"It's really snowballed. It's like Christmas is going out of fashion and everyone is sending cards," Mr Webb said.
His service was initially offered only to customers of his newsagent business in 20 villages in the Wisbech area.
Mr Webb does not use post boxes but instead people order his custom-made stamps and his staff of 14 pick up their post and deliver it while on their newspaper rounds or at pre-arranged times.
Businesses in the area soon became aware of his cut-price service and sales of stamps rocketed within a couple of months.
"I'm supporting their businesses and they're supporting mine," Mr Webb said.
He now collects and delivers to 25 local businesses every day.
"The three doctors' surgeries in the area are also using me now. Between them they send out about 500 letters a night."
Before starting his business, Mr Webb had to seek approval from Ofcom, the independent communications services regulator.
Webb's Postal Service is thought to be only the second such private scheme in the country.
A similar postal service is operated in Wellington, in Somerset.
Having seen the problems encountered by a parcel delivery company in the UK in the pre-Christmas season, Mr Webb is considering branching out and next year offering to deliver those as well as letters.
Spanish-born Nsue, 24, has been capped by Equatorial Guinea and is expected to complete a three-year deal.
"He is a versatile player who I have known for five years. He is a good lad with a good mentality and approach to the game," Boro boss Aitor Karanka told the club website.
"I know the type of person he is, and that is important."
He added: "As a player he can play in different positions and I am delighted we have agreed a deal to sign him."
Nsue's selection for Equatorial Guinea proved costly as the player failed to meet eligibility requirements, with Cape Verde awarded a technical 3-0 win for the two matches in which he played.
They say the move at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital could be made as part of a review of Shropshire's health care.
Gill George, Shropshire Defend our NHS chair, said it would be "life-threatening" for some patients forced to travel 18 miles to Shrewsbury's A&E.
NHS bosses said they were appraising things but had not made a decision.
This was "months away", they said.
For more on this story and other Shropshire news
The NHS Future Fit programme was launched in 2014 to review the health system across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid-Wales, and is set to finish in spring 2017.
The Defend Our NHS group said a decision to close the A&E and have a single department for the county at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital was taken at a "non-financial appraisal" meeting on Friday.
Ms George said: "An area of this size needs both A&Es and both hospitals, and we have opposed the closure of either A&E. But this is a particularly catastrophic outcome for people in Telford and Wrekin who are going to face journeys of over 18 miles in a medical emergency."
Campaigners say all planned care, such as routine surgery and cancer care, will be at Telford, meaning most people in Shropshire and Powys will face "unacceptable journey times".
An NHS Future Fit spokesman said the findings of two appraisals would go before its board next month. This would then make a recommendation to the Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups.
"The NHS Future Fit programme still has a long way to go before a final decision is made. This includes a full public consultation that will run for a minimum of 12 weeks," he said.
Telford & Wrekin Council's Leader Shaun Davies said the proposals "make absolutely no sense" and the authority would consider seeking a judicial review if the decision was confirmed.
He said police acted in a "militarised and aggressive manner" in detaining him and nearly 200 other people last month.
The protests were against the killing of Alton Sterling, a black man, in the Louisiana city.
State governor John Bel Edwards has previously said the police's response was appropriate.
Mr McKesson was held on 9 July on a charge of obstructing a highway.
In the lawsuit, he and two other fellow protesters claimed that police were unnecessarily aggressive during the arrests.
It said that "defendants used excessive force in attacking, battering, beating and assaulting plaintiffs and class members without provocation or the need for defence".
The three arrested protesters said they wanted the lawsuit to have class action status.
The shooting of Alton Sterling was one of a string of police killings of black people by white police officers in recent years that triggered mass protests and rekindled debates about race relations in the US.
Henry Moloney worked at the time as a choirmaster and music teacher at Rockwell College, near Cashel, County Tipperary.
The 77-year-old, of Kimmage Manor, Dublin, was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on the schoolboy.
He had denied the charges.
The victim had told Clonmel Circuit Court how the abuse began near the start of a school year after Moloney asked him to join the choir.
He said although he knew what had happened was wrong, he thought no-one would believe him instead of a priest.
The offences all took place in the course of one school year, in the college's chapel and in Moloney's room there.
Moloney is due to be sentenced on 15 December.

Italy took an early lead as number eight Sergio Parisse finished off a flowing counter-attack but France hit back as his opposite number, Louis Picamoles, powered over.
Luciano Orquera's boot saw the hosts stretch clear but Benjamin Fall's try and Frederic Michalak's kicks put the visitors 18-13 up 10 minutes into the second half.
France looked set to pull away but Martin Castrogiovanni's converted try put Italy back in front and Kris Burton's drop-goal and some ferocious defence saw the hosts secure a dramatic victory.
The two nations may consider themselves friends and equals off the rugby pitch, but on the field of play it has always been a wholly unequal relationship.
(provided by accenture)
Going into the game France led their head-to-head 31-2 and were in great form after a November clean sweep against Australia, Argentina and Samoa.
France had lost the last time the two sides met in Rome, with Italy pulling off a famous 22-21 victory in 2011, but French pre-match talk of a possible repeat seemed designed more to take the pressure off their team, rather than genuine fear of Italy.
However, the Italians were determined to prove they were more than deserving of the respect offered to them by their visitors.
Their pack has always been able to mix it with the best, with it including the likes of the world-class Parisse, but this time Italy's backs stood up to be counted with Orquera turning in a man-of-the-match performance at fly-half and winger Giovanbattista Venditti proving a real handful.
Captain Parisse started the ball rolling, although Orquera was the architect of the score.
Luke McLean began a counter-attack and, when the ball came into midfield, Orquera saw he was up against France prop Nicolas Mas and took full advantage, slicing through the visiting defensive line.
Parisse was ranging up in support and had the pace to out-run the cover and cross for a cracking try, with Orquera adding the extras to get the game off to an explosive start.
The opening two matches of the championship on Saturday had both been exciting encounters, and it was soon clear this match was to join them.
France were rapidly on the scoreboard as Picamoles, who had been driven back by opposite number Parisse earlier in the move, this time got the upper hand and showed his immense power to go over for an unconverted score.
A drop-goal and penalty from Orquera put Italy 13-5 up but Michalak trimmed the margin with a penalty and then put France ahead after Fall finished off a fantastic French move.

Ten minutes into the second half veteran play-maker Michalak, starting his first Six Nations game at fly-half for seven years, slotted a penalty to put France five points ahead and it looked as though the momentum was with them.
But Italy had other ideas. The hosts looked to have blown their chance of a try after failing to exploit an overlap inside the France 22, but from a ruck near the line, Orquera sniped around the fringes, somehow managed to free his arms from the gasp of two giant French forwards and fed Castrogiovanni to plunge over.
Orquera converted and when his replacement Burton added a drop-gal with 12 minutes to go, the hosts led by five points.
France had been under the cosh but they finally roused themselves and looked as though they might sneak victory with a late attack.
Italy saw prop Davide Giazzon yellow carded but managed to hold out when France subsequently went for a pushover try from a scrum, forcing the visitors to attack through their backs.
They were repelled in the right corner and when they spun the ball back to the left, Fall was swept into touch by a tide of white shirts.
Italy coach Jacques Brunel set his side a target of at least two wins in this year's Six Nations, while captain Parisse said before the game that one day he wants to win the competition, adding "why not this year?".
On the evidence of the Stadio Olimpico, that may not be the unlikely dream most imagined it to be at the start of the day.
Italy: Masi; Venditti, Benvenuti, Sgarbi, McLean; Orquera, Botes; Lo Cicero, Ghiraldini, Castrogiovanni, Geldenhuys, Minto, Zanni, Favaro, Parisse.

Police said items were taken in the Moyraverty Road West area of Craigavon last weekend.
It is understood the arrests were in connection with the theft of £80,000 worth of jewellery from Argento.
The pair, aged 41 and 63, have been released pending further inquiries.
Ted Trim, from Theydon Bois, was declared the winner after final heats in Essex and West Sussex on Saturday.
More than 200 people competed in six-car 10-lap races around a 28ft (8.55m) circuit at the events, but no-one could beat the best time of 2015, set by Ted.
He won with 24.49 seconds. His time was recorded in Harlow in August.
He said he had come across the competition while out shopping and had just decided "to have a go".
"I'm happy and surprised because I'd never played before," Ted said, adding that he would be defending his title next year.
The teenager said he had since bought a Scalextric set.
Other heats during this year were also held elsewhere in the UK and Europe.
The final rounds took place at the English Martyrs Church Hall in Goring-by-Sea, and at Marquee Models in the Harvey Centre, Harlow.
Competitors raced against each other using Maserati Trofeos, a Bentley Continental and a Chevrolet Camaro.
They used the same Scalextric Digital layout as the other championship events and use the same models of Scalextric cars and controllers.
Prizes were awarded for the fastest time each hour and to the overall winner and top under-16 racer of the day.
Local schoolboy Vlad Howe was the winner in Goring-by-Sea, having set the fastest time of the day of 32.53 seconds.
His father said: "I've got boxes of Scalextric in the loft. Maybe it's time to get it down."
In Harlow, the winner of the day was 66-year-old Colin Gill, with the fastest time of 29.3 seconds.
The 60-year-old Democratic Congressman represented the state of Pennsylvania for 22 years, and was one of Congress' most senior black lawmakers.
The penalty was handed down by a federal judge in Philadelphia, the city that he represented until June 2016.
Fatah vowed to appeal the conviction. He will report to prison next month.
During sentencing Fatah told US District Judge Harvey Bartle that he had "helped tens of millions of people" during his 37-year political career.
Calling his crimes "astonishing", given that Fatah and his TV anchor wife already had a $500,000 annual income, the judge handed down the second-longest prison sentence ever given to a US congressman for corruption.
He said he was sorry that the jury "found him on the wrong side of these questions" and expressed gratitude for the work he was able to do during his time in Congress.
Fatah was convicted in June 2016 of taking bribes that he used to enrich himself and preserve his political career.
"He chose to violate the trust of his constituents and the taxpayers to line his pockets and advance his personal and professional goals at their expense," Special Assistant US Attorney Eric Gibson accused.
The jury found that he had taken an illegal $1,000,000 (£788,000) loan in order to launch a failed 2007 bid to become the mayor of Philadelphia.
When his candidacy failed, he used federal funding including Nasa grant money to pay off his campaign debts.
He also used charity funds to pay down his son's college loans, and took a bribe from a friend and former campaign aide in order to lobby President Barack Obama to make him an ambassador.
Prosecutors alleged that he even hand-delivered a letter to President Obama in order to support an ambassadorial appointment for his former campaign aide, Herbert Vederman.
He was also found guilty of disguising a lobbyist's bribe as payment for a car that he never sold.
Four of his aides have been found guilty as well, and will be sentenced later this week.
Fatah's son, Chaka Fatah Jr, is serving a five-year sentence on bank and tax fraud charges.
His prison term begins on 25 January 2017.
Police confirmed the driver was killed on Monday morning and workplace safety officials were investigating.
Witnesses described how the woman lost control of the bike, jumped a kerb and crashed into a building.
The Marvel Comics sequel stars Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and has been filming in his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, since June.
In a statement posted on the actor's Twitter feed, he wrote: "Today we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool.
"We're heartbroken, shocked and devastated... but recognise nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment."
20th Century Fox said: "Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time."

The Vancouver Sun reported that city centre streets had been closed since last week to film motorcycle and scooter scenes.
Local media say the stuntwoman had successfully practiced the stunt several times before the fatal accident.
End of Twitter post by @VancityReynolds
Witnesses tell CTV in Vancouver that the driver lost control, narrowly missing pedestrians, and then crashed through a glass window pane.
The network adds that an Advanced Life Support ambulance responded and remained on scene for about 45 minutes before leaving without its lights or sirens activated.
The name of the stuntwoman has not yet been released.
The driver may have been filming a scene for the female character Domino, played by Zazie Beetz.
Photographers had spotted Beetz in costume riding a motorcycle last week.
The boat sustained significant damage after the submarine snagged its fishing nets and pulled it backwards 18 miles off the County Down coast in April.
Its skipper said at the time his crew were lucky to escape unharmed, and the damage would cost about £10,000 to fix.
The MoD has now said a British submarine was involved in the incident.
It had previously said it did not comment on submarine activity.
But "new information" had emerged to show a UK submarine was responsible for damaging the boat, named the MV Karen, the Royal Navy said.
In a written statement to the House of Commons, Minister for the Armed Forces Penny Mordaunt said: "The incident, the delay in identifying and addressing the events on that day, and their consequences are deeply regretted.
"This incident occurred because the submarine did not correctly identify the Karen as a fishing vessel with nets in the water, and thus did not give her the berth she would otherwise have had."
Ms Mordaunt added that had the submarine crew been aware of the incident, protocols required it to surface and remain on scene while the matter was investigated.
Paul Murphy, the trawler's skipper, was told of the development in a letter from the Royal Navy on Monday morning.
The Royal Navy apologised to Mr Murphy and his crew for causing what it said was a "frightening incident", and said the MoD would be contacting him to discuss compensation.
At the time, Mr Murphy said the boat almost capsized as it was dragged through the sea.
The four crew members on board reacted quickly to release the safety net, Mr Murphy said, but were left shaken.
Northern Ireland's Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said she was "appalled and astonished at the actions of the MoD".
She added: "Why does it take the MoD almost five months to come clean and admit what it has done?
"We were told there was no allied submarine within 150 miles of the incident.
"We were led to believe this was an unsanctioned action by an unidentified nation."
The SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said the government should have admitted its involvement "immediately" after the incident.
She was told in June by Ms Mordaunt that the Royal Navy had "confidence that no UK submarine was involved".
Ms Ritchie said: "The minister's confidence was very clearly misplaced and it's imperative that she appears before the Commons to offer a full explanation."
Madala Washington died at the Bisley prison after being assaulted at about 13:00 BST on Friday.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed the death of the 25-year-old at the category C jail, which houses about 500 inmates.
Surrey Police said his death was being "treated as unexplained" and detectives were trying to determine the circumstances of his death.
A spokesman added: "Officers attended the address shortly after 1pm today today following reports of a serious assault on an inmate at the prison."
In a statement, the MoJ said as with all custody deaths there would be an investigation by the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.
In 2015, a report by Coldingley's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said staffing cuts had led to an increase in illegal drugs and weapons at the prison.
The annual publication also said prisoners were locked in their cells for up to 15 hours a day.
HMP Prison Service said in a statement Coldingley had safe and decent staff levels and extra prison officers had been recruited.
Sea Trust says the area's importance as a "porpoise stronghold" should be internationally recognised.
Research shows sightings there are consistently higher than in other UK and European areas.
Trust director Cliff Benson says protection would be based on preserving the area as it is at the moment.
"Obviously the porpoises are undeterred by our local fishermen and recreational boaters," said Mr Benson.
"But the importance of this areas as a porpoise stronghold should be internationally recognised so that any future developments which might affect their status here would be subject to stringent environmental assessments.
"Let's make 2013 the year we put them on the map".
In recent years research by Sea Trust and other conservationists has established that the north Pembrokeshire coast and such inshore islands as Skokholm, Skomer and Ramsay are strongholds.
They are not uncommon in Welsh waters, Mr Benson added, but there are few if any similar recorded concentrations in UK waters.
"It is something we in west Wales should be very proud of," he said.
He said this year the Trust aimed to make a determined effort to make the case that several places in Pembrokeshire meet the criteria to be "porpoise hotspots" and be included in the designation of Marine Protection Areas.
"The designation of and inclusion of harbour porpoise into the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is long overdue and it needs extending," he added.
Strumble Head, just west of Fishguard and outside the SAC, has consistently attracted concentrations of scores and occasionally hundreds of porpoises.
"They are there on a daily basis throughout the year and we have plentiful records of them feeding and breeding there," said Mr Benson.
The Sea Trust campaign is supported by Elfyn Pugh, a director of the cetacean conservation organisation Orca, who described the waters off Strumble as "like porpoise soup," he said.
But in her statement announcing her resignation, Ms James suggested some at the upper echelons were never fully on board.
She said while she had won the support of members, she did not have the full backing of UKIP's MEPs or party officers to implement the changes she felt necessary, prompting her decision to step aside.
The statement also referenced personal reasons - thought to be family illness, as well as abuse she received since her election.
It was largely unexpected though, even among some senior party figures who expressed surprise or even shock at the timing.
Ms James took over UKIP at a time when it was beset by rifts and infighting.
There were different factions within the party that were struggling to come together and agree on its future direction.
When elected, she made a point of saying that the focus for her was on unity - the party needed to get behind her and rally around.
She wanted to make some changes about the way the party was governed, how its ruling body, the national executive committee, ran things.
Reading between the lines of her statement, it seems she does not feel she can continue do that.
We can assume she thinks the job was just too big or she did not have the support of her colleagues within UKIP.
UKIP members have gone through a strange period.
They won the EU referendum in their eyes. They got what they wanted. The party after that moment was on a real high.
At their conference in Bournemouth you could really sense that euphoria but at the same time they had Nigel Farage - the man people credit with UKIP's success - resign.
So people looked to the next leader for some sort of stability and viewed Ms James as the best option for that.
She was the clear frontrunner and yet has decided she cannot continue so this now will throw UKIP back into a state of turmoil and division.
The legislation creates a government body with powers to force internet service providers to block sites.
It comes as the US plans to adopt similar tough new rules.
The crackdown on piracy has been welcomed by the creative industries but criticised by net activists.
Under the Sinde Law, named after the former Spanish Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde, rights holders can report websites hosting infringing content to a newly created government commission.
The intellectual property commission will decide whether it wants to take action against an infringing site or the ISPs providing infrastructure to it, and the case will then be passed to a judge to rule on whether the site should be shut down.
The aim is to complete the process within 10 days.
The Spanish government said that the legislation was necessary to bring it in line with international crackdowns on piracy.
It had been put on hold by the previous government but the ruling party, Partido Popular, decided to move ahead and implement it at one of its first meetings since coming to power in November.
Deputy PM Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said that the aim of the law was "to safeguard intellectual property, boost our culture industries and protect the rights of owners, creators and others in the face of the lucrative plundering of illegal downloading sites."
Campaigners said that it set a dangerous precedent.
"This is another example of bad copyright law eating away at the safeguards around freedom of expression," said Peter Bradwell from the UK's Open Rights Group.
"The same overblown demands to pare down proper legal processes are being made to the government here in the UK. Our policy makers must not throw away the keys to the internet simply because copyright lobbyists are quite good at complaining."
Opposition has been strong in Spain, with bloggers, journalists and tech professionals staging a series of protests, including writing an anti-Sinde manifesto.
Last year hacktivist group Anonymous organised a protest at the Goya Awards - Spain's equivalent of the Oscars - which saw several hundred people in Guy Fawkes masks booing the minister of culture while applauding Alex de la Iglesia, then president of the Spanish Film Academy.
The movie director had previously voiced opposition to the Sinde law on Twitter and later resigned over the issue.
The creative industries around the world have been frustrated with delays in implementing laws designed to crack down on piracy such as the UK's Digital Economy Act.
Instead many are finding new ways to use existing laws to crack down on piracy. In the UK, the movie industry body MPA (Motion Picture Association) used copyright law to force BT to block access to Newzbin, a members-only site which links to pirated material.
Following the success of the case, Sky has also agreed to block access.
In France, the government is pursuing a three strikes policy for persistent pirates. Hadopi, the body set up to administer the policy, said in mid-2011 that over the previous nine months it had been tracking 18 million French IP addresses.
It sent a total of 470,000 first warnings by email, with 20,000 users receiving a second warning through the mail.
About 10 people who appeared to ignore the two warnings were asked to come and explain their actions to the agency.
Across the Atlantic, the US law Sopa (Stop Online Piracy Act) is proving equally controversial. A series of tech firms have removed their names for a list of supporters following widespread opposition from high profile tech leaders such as Eric Schmidt.
Sopa aims to stop online ad networks and payment processors from doing business with foreign websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement.
It could stop search engines from linking to the allegedly infringing sites. Domain name registrars could be forced to take down the websites, and internet service providers could be forced to block access to the sites accused of infringing.
The founders of Google, Twitter and eBay were among a large group of signatories to a strongly worded letter to Congress criticising the legislation as censorship.
US pressure was in part responsible for Spain's current tough anti-piracy stance, following a 2008 report that found it to be one of the worst countries in Europe for piracy.
A later IDC report - The Observation of Piracy and Consumption of Digital Content Habits - commissioned by a coalition of Spain's rights-holders suggested that piracy in Spain cost legal content rights owners 5.2bn euros ($6.8bn, £4.3bn) in the first half of 2010.
It claimed that 97.8% of all music consumption in Spain was driven by illegal downloads, with 77% of movie downloads and 60.7% of game downloads taking place illegally in the first six months of 2010, according to a study conducted by IDC Research for the Madrid-based Coalition of Content Creators and Industries.
"The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists," the State Department said.
The event is being hosted from 10 June to 10 July at various venues.
France is already under a state of emergency following last year's Islamist-claimed attacks in Paris.
The near-simultaneous assaults on a stadium, concert hall, bars and restaurants left 130 people dead and many more wounded.
In March, 32 people died in neighbouring Belgium when suicide blasts hit Brussels airport and a metro station. So-called Islamic State said it was behind both the Paris and Brussels attacks.
Up to one million foreign fans are expected in France for the tournament, which involves the continent's top national teams.
In its travel alert for US citizens, the State Department warns of the dangers of militant attacks throughout Europe.
The attacks could hit tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centres and transportation, it warns, with large events such as Euro 2016 singled out.
2.5m are expected in stadiums for the games
1m foreign visitors
51 matches are taking place
10 venues across France are hosting games
90,000 security staff deployed
The warning also cites the Tour de France cycle race and the Catholic Church's Youth Day in Krakow, Poland, which is expected to draw up to 2.5 million visitors.
An unnamed US official told the Reuters news agency they had no particular threat information that gave rise to the latest alert.
Britain's Foreign Office warns of a high threat from terrorism in France.
Asked if it wanted to comment on the warning from the US, it said it had specific advice for football fans travelling to the competition.
France's state of emergency was extended to included the tournament, and it also plans to deploy anti-drone technology as another precaution.
More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security agents are being deployed as well.
Rita King, 81, died at De La Mer House in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, on 28 December last year.
Her husband Ronald, 87, is on trial at Chelmsford Crown Court. He denies murder.
After shooting his wife, jurors heard, Mr King turned the gun on himself but told staff "I cannot do it".
Prosecutor Andrew Jackson told the jury there was "no dispute" Mr King, who was born with a disability in his left arm, had shot his wife of 50 years.
Live: For the latest on the Ronald King trial and other Essex stories
He shot Mrs King through the eye with her father's World War Two Enfield service revolver, using a bullet dating back to 1943, the court heard.
When he left the lounge area of the home, the jury was told, Mr King was approached by staff.
He told staff: "I've just shot my wife. She had suffered enough."
The court heard the couple lived in Ilford until 2012 when they moved to a bungalow in Walton.
Shortly after they moved to the town, Mrs King began showing signs of dementia.
By the time of her death, jurors heard, Mrs King could make simple decisions about eating and drinking but could not have made big or far-reaching decisions.
Mr Jackson told the jury she could not have entered into what is commonly called a suicide pact because she did not have the ability to retain information.
He said: "Prior to the killing of Mrs King, Mr and Mrs King had been a devoted couple. This is an extremely sad and tragic case.
"Mr King admits that he shot his wife dead. There is no dispute about that.
"As you will hear in a tape recorded interview in the presence of an independent person, he admitted he had intended to kill her."
The trial continues.
The polls suggest there may be a hung parliament after 7 May, raising the possibility of a coalition or a deal between different political parties.
Labour has called on the Tories to "come clean" over whether they would team up with UKIP, in that event.
And the Tories have warned a Labour-SNP deal would destabilise the country.
Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown said Thursday's inconclusive seven-way leaders' debate suggested another coalition was inevitable.
The televised event featured David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg alongside UKIP leader Nigel Farage, the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, Green leader Natalie Bennett and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood.
The opinion polls suggested there was no clear winner from the debate, but commentators said it made the British political system look very different from the traditional two or three-party set-up.
With the polls pointing to there being no overall winner on 7 May, there has been pressure on the parties to say what they would do if they did not win a majority.
Nigel Farage has described David Cameron as "somebody we can sit down and talk to" but he said UKIP could "could never" do a deal with Ed Miliband because of his stance on the EU referendum.
Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the public deserved to know whether the Conservatives planned to do a deal with Mr Farage's party.
He has written to David Cameron urging him to set out his intentions.
It comes after both Mr Cameron and his Conservative chancellor, George Osborne, refused to rule out a deal during separate media appearances.
For much of this campaign, the battle has been largely between the Conservatives and Labour. And they've been happy to keep it so.
Both parties want voters to see the contest as a binary choice, above all between two potential prime ministers, David Cameron and Ed Miliband.
But the seven-way debate has reminded voters of other possibilities.
The polls currently suggest that no one party is likely to win an outright majority. And so the smaller parties are keen to talk up the idea they may play a role in the next government.
So the SNP claims they could curb Labour cuts. UKIP hints they could speed up a Tory EU referendum. And the Lib Dems argue they could keep any government honest.
The question is whether these arguments will sway undecided voters.
Traditionally in election campaigns, support grows for larger parties as polling day gets closer and minds get focused. The smaller parties hope they can break that tradition and persuade people that this time, for once, they really could make a difference.
In a post-debate clash with Labour frontbencher Douglas Alexander on BBC 2's Newsnight, Mr Osborne was challenged to "look down the lens" and dismiss the prospect.
Mr Osborne said the Conservatives were aiming for a majority on 7 May - a response echoed by Mr Cameron in a Sky News interview the following morning.
Meanwhile, Tory chief whip Michael Gove was pressed on the issue during BBC Question Time, and said "nein danke" ("no thanks") to any deal with UKIP.
'Lethal cocktail'
"For 24 hours, a stream of Cabinet ministers have failed to rule out UKIP and the Tories doing a deal," wrote Mr Burnham in his letter to the PM.
He claimed a pact was supported by large numbers of Tory MPs and activists, and warned it would be a "poisonous proposition" which would harm the NHS,
"It is now essential that you come clean about your plans," he demanded.
Last month, Labour leader Ed Miliband ruled out the prospect of a formal coalition deal with the SNP if the party were to fall short of a majority on 7 May.
But the Conservatives say Labour has not rejected the idea of a more informal arrangement with the Scottish nationalists, such as support on a vote-by-vote basis - an idea Mr Cameron has described as "despicable".
Mr Gove told Sky News it was clear the SNP would pull Mr Miliband "well to the left" if he was forced to rely on their votes in the House of Commons.
"I think that people appreciate that there would be an inherent instability in that arrangement," said.
He said people would not like the "potential chaos" of Mr Miliband as prime minister having to run every decision past the SNP who would only work in the interests of Scotland and Scottish nationalism.
"If the country chooses to it could vote for a patchwork coalition... I prefer to say a lethal cocktail of different parties which all have different objectives - there would be an automatic instability," Mr Gove added.
But Mr Burnham told the BBC Labour had been clear it would not want to see any deal "that furthered the prospects of the break up of the United Kingdom".
He accused the Conservatives of "talking up" an SNP-Labour pact to "distract attention" from the prospect of a Tory-UKIP arrangement.
Liberal Democrat campaign chief Lord Ashdown said only the Lib Dems could provide stable coalition partners in a hung parliament.
"You have got three choices," the former party leader said.
"You have got the SNP working with Labour determined to break up the country, you have got the mad, right-wing, far fringes of extremism of Mr Farage, or you have got a Nick Clegg."
"If you accept the case there is going to be a coalition and no-one is going to govern by themselves, the choice between these three seems to me a no-brainer."

The BBC has learnt New York-based Teneo Holdings has been retained in the wake of the criminal investigation launched into football's world governing body by the US Department of Justice in May.
The company's president is Doug Band, who served as a director on the US 2022 World Cup bid committee.
Band, together with Fifa executive committee member Sunil Gulati and others, made the final World Cup bid presentation to high-ranking officials in Zurich in 2010. He served as a close adviser to President Bill Clinton during his years in the White House.
Band then stayed with Clinton after his presidency ended, helping him establish in 2005 the Clinton Global Initiative, which has raised billions of dollars for worthwhile causes.
Clinton acted as honorary chairman for the US 2022 bid committee and initially served as a senior advisor to Teneo. He stepped down from the position in 2012.
The US made it through to the final round of the 2022 World Cup vote in December 2010, losing out to Qatar.

Teneo is believed to have been hired by Fifa following advice from Quinn Emmanuel, the American law firm working on its behalf.
Teneo describes itself as "a global advisory firm" which "is focused on working with clients to address a wide range of financial, reputational and transformational challenges and opportunities".
It's understood the firm's links with senior politicians and with the US Department of Justice were a motivating factor for Fifa's choice as it seeks to mitigate the legal and financial threats facing it.
The indictment from the DoJ in May led to the arrest and detention of 14 football officials and sports marketing executives on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The DoJ insists its investigations are only just beginning.
Teneo's links with the upper echelons of US politics are well established.
Senator George Mitchell is listed as a senior adviser to the firm.
Mitchell is a former Senate majority leader and was appointed as special envoy to Northern Ireland by Clinton in 1995. In 2009, Hilary Clinton, in her capacity as US Secretary of State, appointed him as US special envoy to the Middle East.
Mitchell is also known for his work in baseball, having led a 2006 investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs by players.
Teneo has expertise in handling companies that face investigations and has a specialist sport practice which lists Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James as clients.
The company recently bought Blue Rubicon - a PR firm that has worked closely with the Qatar 2022 World Cup supreme committee for a number of years.
A Fifa spokesperson told the BBC: "Fifa has retained global advisory firm Teneo to work across operational and reputational priorities."
Teneo declined to comment.
And a third of more than 2,000 students questioned feared being unable to get to their polling station on the day.
The referendum, on 23 June, is outside term time, so many students will need to re-register at their home address, says the National Union of Students.
NUS vice-president Richard Brooks urged students "to think ahead".
"The EU referendum is a once-in-a-generation vote," said Mr Brooks.
"The decision made on the 23 June will impact young people and students the most, as they are the ones that will live with the consequences for the longest.
"If students don't want their future decided for them, it is essential that as many as possible get out and vote."
Mr Brooks urged students to think about where they would be on referendum day and to make sure they register or re-register at the right address.
"If they are unsure about where they will be, students can register at both their term-time and home address, providing they only vote once," he said.
"If they are going to be on holiday or are heading to Glastonbury, they should apply for a postal vote."
People had until 17:00 on 7 June to register if they wanted to vote in the referendum, he added.
It is also possible to apply for a postal or proxy vote by 17:00 on 8 June.
The interviews, carried out this month on a representative sample of students from across the UK by YouthSight for Universities UK, found:
Universities UK and the Association of Colleges are holding voter registration drives at institutions across the UK.
Students will be advised to register, re-register or apply for proxy or postal votes, according to their circumstances.
UUK chief executive Nicola Dandridge said it was of "real concern" that so many students were unaware of the referendum date and that they might have to re-register to vote at another address.
"From this week, universities will be scaling up their efforts to encourage students to register to vote, and to make sure they do so in the right location," she said.
"With nearly two million UK students eligible to vote in the referendum, it is vital that they have all the necessary information to make sure they can take part in this hugely important decision."
Rizlaine Boular, 21, her mother Mina Dich, 43, and Khawla Barghouthi, 20, all from London, are alleged to have planned a knife attack in Westminster.
The women are accused of conspiring together to murder a person or persons unknown between 11 and 28 April 2017.
They were remanded in custody ahead of a preliminary hearing on 19 May.
Ms Boular, from central London, is also alleged to have engaged in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, while the other defendants are accused of assisting her.
The women, who appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court, spoke to confirm their names, addresses, and dates of birth.
Ms Boular and Ms Dich wore Islamic dress, including full-face veils, which were partially lifted to show their eyes at the request of chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot.
Ms Bargouthi wore Islamic dress, but her face was visible.
The women were arrested following a counter-terrorism operation last month in Willesden, north-west London, in which Ms Boular was shot by police.
Another seven people arrested during the investigation have been released with no further action taken.
Irvine will compete for Aqua Blue Sport in 2017, along with team leader Lars Petter Nordhaug and fellow Irishmen Matt Brammeier and Conor Dunne.
Irvine, 31, retired from the sport after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics but has had a change of heart.
"It took a really special offer to coax me out of retirement," said Irvine.
"But the opportunity to compete at this level with an Irish backed team is something I couldn't pass up.
"Very few Irish athletes get the experience to ride at this level so I feel very lucky to be getting this opportunity," added the County Down man.
Brammeier is a five-time Irish champion and Dunne a former Irish trial champion.
The remaining riders who will form the line-up for the 2017 season will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Aqua Blue Sport's goal is to eventually participate at a World Tour level and compete in the Tour de France, but for now sights are firmly set on the 2017 Professional Continental season which so far includes Milan-San Remo, Amstel Gold and the Tour of Britain.

Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013.
The Northern Irishman also won a World Cup gold in Manchester in the same year.
It was a rollercoaster year for Irvine, who also won silver in the points race at the World Championships and a European bronze medal in addition to sustaining a couple of injuries.
A month after his Belarus triumph, Irvine suffered a leg fracture during the Tour of Taiwan road racing event later in 2013 sustained leg muscle injuries at a track event in Belgium.
However, Irvine finished 2013 as number one scratch rider in the 2013 UCI world rankings and claimed a scratch silver medal in the 2014 Track Cycling World Championships.
His achievements in 2013 led to him being named as the BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year.
After winning silver in the scratch race at the 2014 World Championships in Colombia, Irvine was regarded as a strong medal contender at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and improving on the team pursuit bronze that he won with Northern Ireland in Delhi in 2008.
However, Irvine produced disappointing performances in Glasgow and struggled to regain form thereafter, with a number of injuries not helping. | A revamp of Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens has been approved by city councillors.

Mr Laws told the National Association of Head Teachers it was "time to end the period of real pay cuts" for public sector staff.
He said the Lib Dems would "draw a line in the sand" on public sector pay in any post-election negotiations.
NAHT leader Russell Hobby has warned whoever is in office to expect to hear "there is still no money".
Mr Laws, addressing the annual conference of the NAHT in Liverpool, promised that a coalition including the Liberal Democrats would increase teachers' pay from 2017.
"We will show teachers that we value you through your pay packet," he said.
"Austerity has been tough and public sector workers have made a significant contribution to balancing the books and rebuilding the economy.
"So, as we return to economic growth, from next year onwards, it's time to end the period of real pay cuts."
This election issue includes funding for schools, university tuition fees and early years education.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Mr Laws repeated his party's commitment to protect the education budget - arguing that this was a more watertight assurance than the promises of either Labour or the Conservatives, because it took into account both the rising number of pupils and the need for spending to rise with inflation.
"Neither the Labour party nor the Conservatives are prepared to put the money where their mouth is on education," said Mr Laws.
And he said that creating an independent standards authority to decide on the curriculum would end the problem of excessive political interference.
"It's not up to us to determine which exact works of literature or periods of history are taught," he said.
His experience as schools minister had made him "believe even more strongly that government interferes too much and too regularly in our school system".
"It should never ever be a case of us and them, politicians versus the profession.
"A culture of criticising teachers, often for nothing more than cheap headlines, is a lose-lose situation for everyone - particularly for the children passing through the education system."
Labour has campaigned on stopping academy and free schools from employing teachers without teaching qualifications - and Mr Laws said that the Liberal Democrats would also make it a requirement for teachers to have qualified teacher status.
He also said that Ofsted should be able to inspect the groups running academy chains, a move that has been opposed by their Conservative former coalition partners.
Speaking to the head teachers' conference on Friday, Labour's Tristram Hunt warned of the importance of protecting funding for early years education and claimed that 750 Sure Start centres had been forced to shut.
In response to the speech from Mr Laws, Mr Hunt said: "You can't trust a word the Liberal Democrats say. They broke their promise on tuition fees and people will not believe a word that they say on education spending."
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has argued that the Conservatives will protect spending on education, expand the number of academies and raise standards.
A future Conservative government is promising to introduce a new re-sit test in secondary school for 100,000 pupils who get poor results in English and maths tests at the end of primary school.
The NAHT's Russell Hobby has warned that schools face a looming funding shortage and increasing difficulty in recruiting teachers and school leaders. He has also warned that schools now have to do much work that would usually be associated with social services, such as feeding and clothing children.
"What do the next five years hold for us? What do we expect and what will we do? Much that we face will happen whoever gains power," said Mr Hobby.
"To paraphrase a famous note, there is still no money. We are merely halfway through austerity and half a million more pupils are coming our way. Expect tight budgets and make every penny count."
The force said since the start of 2014 it received 60 calls about crimes at The Earl of Dudley Arms in Wellington Road, Dudley, including five serious assaults and an attempted murder.
A closure notice was served at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court.
The licensee was also ordered to pay costs of £750.
Det Ch Insp Chris Hanson, from West Midlands Police CID, said: "The licence holder of Earl of Dudley has a duty to protect his customers but he has failed to do that: he has allowed members of a local gang to frequent his premises and commit serious acts of violence towards innocent customers.
"In the latest incident earlier this month a man was badly beaten inside the premises. Two men have been charged in connection with that attack and await trial."
The 28-year-old England international has extended his current contract by four years in a deal worth up to £300,000 a week.
Rooney told his website: "I'm happy everything is now finalised and I can carry on concentrating on my football."
"Manchester United's decision to award Wayne Rooney the most expensive long-term contract in the club's history is more than about just keeping one of their most influential players at Old Trafford.
"This is about a demonstration - some might even say desperation - to show that United under David Moyes can still keep their best players even at a time when their own status in the domestic and European game is reduced, no matter how temporarily."
Rooney moved from Everton in 2004 and is 42 goals shy of passing Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 United goals.
He has scored 208 goals in 430 games in all competitions for the Red Devils, and will be 33 at the end of his new deal. He will become a club ambassador when he retires from the game.
Rooney said of potentially breaking Charlton's record: "This is definitely something I would like to achieve. If I managed to do it it'd be something I'd be very proud of. My aim is always to score and create as many goals as possible, so if I can continue to score regularly and break the record then I would be delighted."
Manchester United boss David Moyes added on United's website: "I said last July that Wayne has an outstanding chance to be a true legend of this club's long and rich history. He is just 42 goals away from overtaking Sir Bobby as our record goalscorer and becoming the first United player to hit 250 goals for the club.
"These opportunities only come to special players and I'm confident Wayne will set a new record that will take decades to reach."
Rooney, whose previous £250,000-a-week deal would have expired next year, had looked set to leave Old Trafford last summer after former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he had asked for a transfer - something the player denied.
Chelsea had more than one bid for him rejected but new boss Moyes insisted he wanted to keep his former Everton player at Old Trafford.
The new deal involves a basic wage of £250,000 a week, but with commercial rights making it more lucrative for the player, up to £300,000.
Moyes told BBC Sport: "We always felt Wayne wanted to stay. He's a great player and hopefully we can keep him at a really high level which he has showed this season.
"We're all delighted. It's part of the rebuilding and part of it is also to make sure you keep the players you really want to keep.
"The record signing of Juan Mata from Chelsea in January was the first part of what Woodward and Moyes hope will be a three-step strategy back to the top.
"Rooney's new deal is part two while the summer is phase three. That's when we will really be able to judge how serious the owners are about rebuilding United's under-powered squad.
"Mata's arrival and Rooney's decision to stay - having been courted first by Manchester City and more recently Chelsea - will surely help the club attract top talent before the start of next season."

"Everybody would want him, you could see the clubs who did want him but there was never a chance he was going to leave Manchester United, certainly not on my watch."
It seems likely that next season will be Rooney's first out of the Champions League since his move from Goodison Park 10 years ago.
United are 11 points off the top four, although they could still qualify by winning this season's tournament.
But Rooney said he was not concerned, preferring to concentrate on the club's long-term future.
The Liverpudlian said: "I know that's what some of the press thought but it's not a massive concern for me. This is because I know the direction that this club is going in, and if we don't make it this season then we will come back stronger and claim a Champions League spot next season.
"Let's not forget we still have a chance this year, some of the other teams are playing well but we have a strong squad here and if we have a positive end to the season then who knows what can happen."
Rooney has won five Premier League titles and the Champions League in his time at Old Trafford.
The forward, who returned to first-team action at the end of January after nearly a month out with an injury, has made 28 club appearances this season and scored 11 goals.

State-run telecommunications company Etecsa will install internet in some 2,000 homes in the capital's colonial district, Old Havana.
The company has also reduced by 25% the fee charged to connect to the web, which most Cubans can only access from public wi-fi hotspots.
Cuba has one of the lowest online connectivity rates in the world.
Dissidents accuse the government of not providing affordable home internet access for political reasons.
The Cuban government blames the US for the poor state of telecoms infrastructure, which it says is caused by the American economic embargo imposed in the 1960s.
Details of the news scheme are scarce, but the authorities say the experiment will be extended if it is approved after the two-month trial period.
Many Cubans hope the country's communist government will eventually expand the scheme, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana.
Last week, Etecsa signed an agreement with Google to provide faster access to content including Gmail and YouTube.
Google will install local servers that will speed up connection to its services.
Much of the island's internet infrastructure is obsolete.
Google and Etecsa reached agreement in the final weeks of Barack Obama's presidency, but it is not clear whether his successor, Donald Trump, will change US policies towards Cuba.

In his conference speech, Mr Khan said Labour needed to be "not just talking the talk, but walking the walk too".
The winner of May's mayoral election used the word "power" 38 times in his speech, saying being in opposition would "never ever be good enough".
Mr Khan supported Owen Smith in his unsuccessful leadership bid.
Asked whether the winner of the contest, Jeremy Corbyn, could win a general election, he told the BBC: "Sure he can."
Labour could not be a "protest party", he said, adding that "we are not a party set up to make ourselves feel better".
"I just do not think we should have a situation where we are in our comfort zone being in opposition."
Gavin Stamp, BBC political reporter in Liverpool
People streaming out of the hall have been giving their views on Sadiq Khan's speech.
Martin Hodges says it was a "good rallying call which went down very well" and hopes the message about the importance of being in power to get things done "will be carried through".
Aaron Rice says it was an "inspirational" address and it was "good to hear from someone who is actually in power for Labour".
But one other delegate says that while she enjoyed the speech, it had a "pretty unhelpful subtext" that some in Labour would rather be sitting on the sidelines than making decisions.
Mr Khan received a standing ovation after his speech, during which he said having Labour in power meant more affordable housing and transport, less polluted air and better pay and conditions for workers.
He said the scale of rough sleeping was a "stain on our nation" and vowed to clean up London's "filthy" air.
"The people who need us the most are those who suffer the most when Labour is not in power," he said.
He hailed Labour's victory in the Bristol mayoral election and the party holding onto power in Wales, but added: "Labour is not in power in the place that we can have the biggest impact on our country - in Parliament.
"It's in government that Labour can make the biggest changes to people's lives, and every day now we see what happens when Labour's not in power."
He said government plans to expand grammar schools would "deepen inequality" and accused ministers of having "no plan" for how to leave the EU.

Having captained England in over 200 matches, Edwards brought an end to her 20-year international career in May.
The 36-year-old will now lead the Southern Vipers as the tournament gets under way on Saturday.
"If I had just retired and not had an immediate focus I would have struggled," Edwards told BBC Sport.
"It would have been a very big gap to fill, as county cricket does not have any training programmes in place.
"With the Vipers we have two training sessions a week and a fitness and conditioning coach so I haven't really missed much from not being in the England set-up."
Edwards has spent the summer living with Vipers team-mate and New Zealand captain Suzie Bates and said being surrounded by top quality cricketers had kept her motivated.
While the women's game has grown a huge amount since the Huntingdon-born player's England debut in 1996, the Kent batter feels the Super League is one of the biggest developments to date.
The Super Fours - a limited-overs tournament played annually and designed to bring together the best 48 female English cricketers - preceded the Super League but it was a competition Edwards felt could not be sustained.
"The KSL is brilliant as it will further prepare our England players for international cricket as well as expose many young girls to high level cricket," she added.
"So often women's cricket in this country is judged by internationals and how the international team do but I think people can form an identity with the Super League teams.
"Hopefully it can grow women's cricket not just at international but grassroots level too."
The illness restricted Burke to six games for Ross County, but he signed a one-year deal at Rugby Park after proving his fitness as a trialist.
"There were times when I did think, 'am I going to get better'?" said Burke.
"I'll appreciate having football in my life so much more now after what I've been through these last eight months."
Burke, 33, played in pre-season win over Livingston and had been training with the Ayrshire club. After agreeing terms, he made his competitive debut as a substitute in the 4-2 win over Clyde in Scottish League Cup Group E.
That was Burke's first game since featuring against St Johnstone last November. Burke spent the rest of the campaign suffering from a viral condition.
"There was times when it did get me down because all I know is playing football," the former Rangers, Birmingham and Cardiff City winger said.
"It's all I've done since I was a kid and I'm fortunate enough that I've gone on to become a professional footballer.
"Throughout that whole time I've been lucky enough to be fit. But then all of a sudden, something hits you like the illness I had and I was just floored. I couldn't do anything.
"I'd try to come back and It'd just floor me again. Hopefully I've come through the end of it now.
"Fortunately, I've managed to get myself re-booted now and have done most of pre-season with Kilmarnock. I'm still looking to gain full fitness. I'm not 100% but I'm getting there."
Capped seven times for Scotland, Burke was part of the Rangers team which won the 2004-05 Scottish Premiership title, and also was in the side which won the 2007-08 Scottish League Cup.
Rugby Park manager Lee McCulloch told the Kilmarnock website: "Chris has had a great career to date and has played at the highest level. With his experience, Chris can pass this on to the youngsters coming through."
"Chris had many options available to him so I'm thrilled that he will be a Kilmarnock player for the upcoming season," said manager Lee McCulloch. He's a great signing for the fans and the dressing room."

A reports shows Stoke-on-Trent City Council planned to cut 14 of its 37 senior bosses, to save more than £1m.
A report revealed a salary in the top tier would have become £131,500 on average under proposals, compared to £128,667 on average currently.
But the council's leadership has now withdrawn the plans.
The authority has wider plans to save £33m.
Under proposals in a leaked report seen by the BBC, the 23 remaining managers in the top two tiers would have earned more than £2m between them, compared to more than £3.3m spent on such salaries currently.
It revealed in the second tier, which would have been cut from 31 people to 19, the average salary would have fallen to £80,526, compared to an average of £84,419 currently.
In a statement, Councillor Mohammed Pervez, leader of the Labour-led coalition council, said a report was due to go to a committee on 30 November "which was addressing the issue of job evaluations for tiers 1 and 2 within the organisation".
He said: "One of the implications of the report would have been a pay rise for senior officers by increasing the upper limits of the salary grades, a position which quite simply I do not support.
"Hence a decision was made to cancel the meeting and withdraw the report."
The council is a four-way coalition of Labour, the Conservative and Independent Alliance, the Liberal Democrats and City Independents.
Mick Salih, from the Community Voice group on the council, said: "That report should never have been put together.
"We're talking about cutting services and cutting jobs and then one report actually saying about increasing senior officers' salary.
"It's absolutely ridiculous."
John Brown, 25, from Motherwell, admitted carrying out the offences at two separate games at Ibrox stadium.
He targeted Cowdenbeath's Kudus Oyenuga as he celebrated a goal on 28 March, and disabled Falkirk fans on 3 October.
Brown was also given a community payback order and told to carry out 70 hours unpaid work.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Brown "made monkey gestures using his arms and directed them towards the Cowdenbeath football player" as he celebrated a goal.
Police then approached Brown at the stadium and told him he was being arrested.
Brown committed the second offence after Falkirk scored and equalised at the game in October.
The court heard that he reacted by shouting towards the Falkirk away fans and gestured towards the disabled section.
Following sentencing, Stephen Ferguson, football liaison prosecutor for the west of Scotland, said: "Brown's behaviour was utterly reprehensible and choosing to vent this kind of hateful abuse at football matches is no excuse at all.
"There is absolutely no place in modern Scotland for individuals who commit crimes motivated by prejudice towards a person's race or disability.
"Police and prosecutors take such offences very seriously and will continue to do all we can to bring those who persist in committing them to justice."
A feasibility study has found the land at the old Earlston High School could host 55 new homes.
Scottish Borders Council is being advised to allow the Eildon Housing Association to redevelop the site.
Council leader David Parker said the project could make a contribution towards affordable housing targets.
The market value of the site has been estimated at £700,000.
However, the council is being recommended to dispose of it for the affordable housing valuation of £450,000.
If it agrees to do so, the local authority has been advised to transfer £250,000 from its affordable housing budget to its capital budget to make up the shortfall.
Named as Chris Harper Mercer, the gunman opened fire on Thursday inside a classroom at Umpqua Community College.
Mercer was shot and killed by police officers who arrived at the scene.
President Barack Obama has expressed frustration over the "routine" response to mass shootings, saying the US had become "numb" to such attacks.
Stacy Boylan, who's daughter survived the shooting, told US television network CNN that his daughter described to him how the gunman asked his victims to state their religion before shooting them.
"'Are you a Christian?' he would ask them, 'and if you are a Christian stand up,'" the father recalled.
Mr Boylan said the gunman told the victims: "because you're a Christian you're going to see God in just about one second".
Another student who survived the shooting, Kortney Moore, gave a similar account to a local newspaper, The News-Review.
The attacker was identified by unnamed officers, as local police refused to release his name.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said he did not wish to give the gunman "the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific and cowardly act".
However, the sheriff has come under fire for his stance opposing gun control measures in the past.
Hours after the attack, President Obama reiterated demands for tighter gun laws, saying prayers are "no longer enough".
"We are not the only country on Earth that has people with mental illnesses or want to do harm to other people.
"But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these mass shootings every few months."
Referring to a BBC interview in which he talked about this, he said countries like the UK and Australia showed that effective legislation was possible.
Candidates vying to replace Mr Obama in office have begun to weigh in as well.
Shortly after the shooting, Republican front-runner Donald Trump called the Washington Post and described the "terrible tragedy" as sounding like "another mental health problem". He added that it appeared mass shootings were more frequent.
The Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton said "we are seeing these mass murders happen again and again and again" and called on people in the US to "get the political will to do everything we can to keep people safe".
US gun violence in numbers - Shootings have become increasingly commonplace.
What we know about Chris Harper Mercer - The alleged gunman reportedly supported the IRA.
Oregon shooting: The '4chan' thread - Did the gunman give a warning on the Internet?
Suspect's father speaks out - Ian Mercer says he is shocked and appealed for privacy.
The gunman was reportedly born in the UK and moved to the US as a young boy.
A man identified as the gunman's father, Ian Mercer, told US media he was "just as shocked as everybody" by his son's actions.
The killer's motive is not known, although police said they were investigating reports that he had warned of his intentions on social media.
Lorie Andrews, who lives opposite the campus, said she heard what sounded like fireworks and when she came out of her home she saw students streaming out.
"One girl came out wrapped in a blanket with blood on her," she said.
Hannah Miles, 19, said that she and fellow students were led to a nearby bookshop, where they hid in a back room.
The 3,000-student school is located in Roseburg, Oregon, a rural area about 175 miles (280 km) south of Portland.
Hundreds of people gathered for a vigil in a Roseburg park on Thursday evening.
In audio from police radio channels an officer can be heard saying the suspect was down and that there were "multiple gunshot wounds", and calling for multiple ambulances to go the scene.
The suspect supposedly used a "long gun".
According to Umpqua Community College's website, the average age of students is about 38.
Unions linked to President Nicolas Maduro have forced the closure over a pay dispute with the brewer Polar.
The company makes up to 80% of Venezuela's beer. Half of their breweries are now shut, with others already running at reduced capacity.
For the past years there have been shortages of milk, toilet paper and medicines in Venezuela.
In previous disputes, the government has threatened to nationalise Polar.
Workers are striking at Polar's breweries in Caracas and Anzoategui state, as well as at 16 distribution centres.
The striking unions say that pay is at the heart of the dispute.
"They've delayed our collective contract for over 20 months, and the company refuses to recognise our union," spokesman Jose Rojas told Reuters news agency.
Venezuela has strict controls on the cost of food and hygiene products to guarantee that the poor can afford basic goods. However, some analysts say that these controls contribute to food and material shortages.
The 17-year-old boy was arrested in the Redhill area of Surrey on Tuesday, and is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Surrey Police said he had been charged with three counts of disseminating terrorist publications and one count of preparation of terrorist acts.
A 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences has been released while inquiries continue.
The former Arsenal centre-half joined Swansea in 2012 and has now committed his future with the Premier League side until 2021.
Bartley spent last season on loan with Leeds and played 45 Championship games.
The 26-year-old has agreed terms with manager Paul Clement and will battle for a starting spot with Alfie Mawson, Federico Fernandez and Mike van der Hoorn.
"I gained a lot more confidence and experience from my loan spell last season," said Bartley.
"I feel a better person and a better player.
"I want to be able to express that on the pitch and fight for a first-team place.
"Federico and Alfie did fantastic last season, particularly towards the end, I thought they were our two star men."
Many people will have "prolonged disorders of consciousness" - either in a coma or vegetative state, where they show no awareness of their environment, or a minimally conscious state, like Paul Briggs, where they show very limited awareness.
However, the NHS does not publish data on these patients, so this autumn the BBC requested the information from all individual CCGs and NHS bodies across the UK.
The responses showed that more than 100 people with prolonged disorders of consciousness are currently being cared for by the NHS.
Many of the 105 patients declared by health authorities have been in this state for more than six months.
The data comes from a BBC Freedom of Information enquiry, but gives a very incomplete picture, as only a quarter of all bodies responded.
In the most extreme of these cases uncovered by BBC Radio 4's Today programme, a patient cared for by the Western Health and Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland had been in a minimally conscious state for 20 years.
Treating patients with long-term consciousness disorders takes up a considerable portion of some of the continuing care budgets of Clinical Commissioning Groups, the NHS bodies responsible for arranging their care in England.
One expert in neurological rehabilitation has told the BBC he believes these figures suggest the NHS could be spending millions on such patients, often for many years.
Ever since the House of Lords ruled in 1993 that doctors could end treatment for Tony Bland, the fan injured at Hillsborough, withdrawal of food and water has been approved case by case by the Court of Protection.
However, lawyers say there have been relatively few cases over the past twenty years, almost always brought by the NHS Trust or Clinical Commissioning Group.
The case of Paul Briggs was exceptional: the family brought the case, and the judge agreed Mr Briggs could be named.
The Court of Protection deals with cases where a person, usually referred to as "P", lacks capacity to manage their own affairs.
A disorder of consciousness can occur after a person suffers brain damage.
It usually leads to a person being in one of three states - coma, vegetative state, minimally conscious state.
- A coma is when a person shows no signs of being awake or aware
- A vegetative state is when a person is awake but is showing no signs of awareness.
- Somebody in a minimally conscious state shows clear but minimal or inconsistent awareness and may have periods where they can communicate or respond to commands, such as moving a finger when asked
You can find more information on the NHS Choices website.
Freedom of information requests have shown that Lambeth CCG and Southwark CCG each spent more than £1m on caring for these patients in the 2015/16 financial year. These costs took up 7.5 and 9% of their continuing care budgets respectively.
In Lanarkshire NHS Board, one patient suffering from a prolonged disorder of consciousness has spent the last seven years in an acute hospital bed, at an estimated cost to the NHS of £1.15m.
However, figures on these kinds of patients are not regularly recorded by CCGs and other health bodies.
Only 62 of the 238 health authorities approached by Today could provide any information on how many patients were their responsibility.
Most authorities refused our requests, saying that providing a response would be too expensive, or that they simply did not hold this information.
Many of those who could provide us information on the amount they spent on caring for these patients refused to state the numbers they were caring for, over fears for patient confidentiality.
Prof Derick Wade, of the Oxford Centre for Enablement, said he believed the responses suggested many commissioning organisations were caring for at least five, and possibly 10, people who were in a minimally conscious or permanent vegetative state.
He said "I think that these figures provide reasonable evidence that potentially the NHS is spending very large sums of money on caring for people with a prolonged disorder of consciousness, often for very many years."
He said the CCGs and Trusts should embark on a "much more rigorous" collection of data.
Hawkins, 37, looked in control at 5-1 ahead, only for King, 42, to win six straight frames in Belfast.
2013 World Championship finalist Hawkins levelled at 7-7 and then 8-8 after a re-spotted black in an unbelievably tense 16th frame.
However, a break of 42 helped King clinch victory amid emotional scenes.
World number 35 King was beaten by Stephen Hendry in the 1997 Welsh Open decider and his only other ranking final came at the 2004 Irish Masters when he was edged out by Peter Ebdon.
Essex's King picked up the £70,000 first prize and the inaugural Alex Higgins Trophy in the first staging of the tournament at the Titanic Exhibition Centre.
Before receiving the trophy from Lauren Higgins, the daughter of the late Belfast snooker great, King spoke about his struggles in overcoming a gambling addiction.
"My wife (Sally) has been unbelievable. I used to compulsively gamble and she stuck with me. She has been an absolute rock," King told Eurosport.
King's wife and three children embraced the Romford man after Sunday's final and he spoke of what that moment meant.
"I've been dreaming of that since they (his children) were born and I never thought it would happen."
The 42-year-old also paid tribute to his 83-year-old father Bill, a well known personality in snooker circles, who was unable to travel over for Sunday's final because of illness.
"I'm gutted he couldn't be here. He's spent his last money on me all through the years.
"Before this competition, he even lent me money to come here because I was skint."
After winning the final two frames of the afternoon session to cut Hawkins' lead to 5-3, King produced breaks of 62, 100, 45 and 54 to move into a 7-5 lead as the Kent man began to struggle badly.
But after the mid-session interval, Hawkins was on course for a maximum in frame 13 before missing his 10th black while on 73 and and another run of 76 then levelled the match.
King moved ahead by winning a scrappy 15th frame before Hawkins won on a re-spotted black after a 62-minute 16th after the Essex man had hit the middle pocket jaws with a double attempt which would have landed the title.
A 42 break gave King an early advantage in the decider and he eventually clinched victory after both players missed straightforward opportunities amid high drama.
The killing took place in north-western Badghis province. There are some reports that the woman's husband had authorised the separation from abroad.
But when he returned to Afghanistan, he petitioned a self-appointed Taliban court against her remarriage. The Taliban deny carrying out the killing.
Divorce is taboo in the country, especially for women.
Officials said the militants forced the woman, whose name has been given as Aziza, to go to her father's house, where they shot her.
Local politician Naser Nazari said the woman, thought to be 25, was killed on Saturday.
"Her former husband authorised one of his relatives here to divorce Aziza," he told Pajhwok news.
It reported that she then married another man but when her husband returned from working in Iran he denied divorcing her and went to the militants.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmadi told the BBC the cause of the killing was a family feud.
He said the Taliban had already detained two men involved in the case and pledged to "punish them according to Sharia law".
There are regular reports of the Taliban putting women to death in areas they control after accusing them of adultery or other alleged transgressions.
They carried out the public killing of women - usually over alleged adultery - in the main stadium in the capital, Kabul, when they were in power in the country in the 1990s.
The money includes £10m in loans for GP practices to upgrade and expand their premises, and £300,000 to meet the ongoing costs of these new surgeries.
Up to £3.1m is being invested in out-of-hours GP services, while £300,000 goes towards recruitment and retention.
GPs will also receive £1.2m to carry out blood tests and other diagnostic work in the community.
Mr Wells said: "This package of investment will help to address some of the current difficulties and plan for future challenges in general practice."
He said the extra money for out-of-hours GP services would "help ensure that there is an alternative to our stretched Emergency Departments for those who cannot wait to see their own GP".
The minister said he was also cutting bureaucracy.
"GPs will now have 15 fewer government indicators to meet, meaning more time to spend with patients and less time filling in forms," he said.
BMA NI chairman Tom Black said while he welcomed the additional funding, "Northern Ireland needs a long-term commitment of recurrent funding if we are to see a positive impact on GP services".
"Even with this investment, funding for general practice in Northern Ireland will continue to lag behind that of the rest of the UK," he said.
Royal College of GPs Northern Ireland chair John O'Kelly said it was a "welcome first step in addressing the GP workforce crisis, as well as the underinvestment in general practice".
"GPs in Northern Ireland are working harder than ever, making 12.7 million consultations a year - an increase of 76% in the last decade," he said.
"Yet despite our spiralling workloads, real terms funding for general practice has been cut and it's our patients who have been bearing the brunt by having to wait longer and longer to see their GP.
"This promise of new funding shows the government has acknowledged the severity of our concerns."
Hani Khalaf, 21, of no fixed address, appeared before magistrates in Wimbledon earlier.
Jairo Medina, 62, a professional carer from Chelsea, was found near Speakers' Corner on the morning of 12 August by a member of the public.
A post-mortem examination did not find a cause of death, but showed that he had been assaulted, police said.
Mr Khalaf was unshaven and wore a grey prison-issue tracksuit when he appeared at the magistrates' court, speaking through an interpreter to confirm his name and date of birth.
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
The baby, which is yet to be named, was born at Drusillas Park in Alfriston to parents Lotfi and Clementine.
The pair have been at the zoo since 2009 as part of the European Endangered Species Programme.
Black lemurs are native to Madagascar and are vulnerable due to hunting and deforestation.
Clementine and Lotfi came to Drusillas from zoos in Portugal and Tunisia.
A Drusillas spokeswoman said they could not tell yet if the baby was male or female but that it would become clear when their markings and colourings appeared.
She said: "Males are all black with striking orange eyes, whereas females are brown with long white ear tufts.
"Once this has been established, the zoo team will get on with the very important business of naming their beautiful little lemur."
In Northern Ireland, learning a second language is not a statutory part of the primary school curriculum.
In England and Scotland, by contrast, primary school pupils are expected to learn a foreign language.
The review of primary languages in Northern Ireland has been carried out by researchers from Stranmillis University College.
The authors surveyed language learning at over 100 schools.
They found that Spanish and French were most popular in schools where languages were taught.
Some pupils also learned German or Mandarin.
However, not all primary schools taught an additional language.
This led the authors to conclude that there was "a lack of equity in provision for children" across the country.
They also found little consistency in how often languages were taught to pupils, and when they began to learn a language.
Some primary principals also expressed concerns about the amount of support and resources available to their teachers and pupils.
However, the majority of principals and teachers who participated in the study agreed that learning an additional language was important and valuable.
But they also said teaching foreign languages was not a priority for schools as it was not assessed or measured.
The report's authors said that the development of language skills was "vital for economic prosperity, social cohesion and the acceptance of diverse cultural identities".
"It is hoped that the findings of this study may encourage policy makers, business and educational providers to support the revision and improvement of current curriculum provision in additional language learning," the report said.
It also said that language learning was "conducive to economic growth and that can enhance the lives and future employability of children and young people".
Across the European Union (EU) more than 80% of primary pupils learn an additional language.
The research was commissioned by the Northern Ireland Languages Council.
It is a body established by the Department of Education, and over 20 organisations are represented on the council, from business, education and the community sector.
The former Republic of Ireland youth international, 35, has committed to a 10th season for the Shrimps after his move from Chesterfield in 2008.
The ex-Nottingham Forest stopper memorably scored a last-minute goal in February 2016 against Portsmouth.
"Barry had another excellent season last year and is a big member of the squad," said boss Jim Bentley.
GB lead on 113.90, ahead of Germany (123.00) and Sweden (128.50) in Strzegom, going into Sunday's showjumping finale in Poland.
British rider Nicola Wilson, aboard Bulana, is fourth individually behind the German 1-2 of Ingrid Klimke and Michael Jung after the cross-country.
GB's Gemma Tattersall is fifth, with Tina Cook sixth and Ros Canter eighth.
Cook, who won individual European gold eight years ago, delivered a stunning clear round inside the time on Billy the Red.
Her fellow London 2012 team silver medallist Wilson collected just 0.4 of a time fault and Canter 1.6 aboard Allstar B.
It meant that Britain could discount Oliver Townend's score - he collected 40 jumping penalties on Cooley SRS.
"The team needed a clear round, and I am delighted that we delivered that," said Cook.
Britain, whose new coaching chief is former Germany team boss Chris Bartle, can afford to have two showjumping fences down between their team members and still win, even if the German riders all go clear.
German Bettina Hoy, the leader after the dressage stage, was eliminated in the cross-country after a fall, while France are out of the team competition after two of their riders fell.
Leading individual positions after cross-country: 1 Ingrid Klimke (Ger) (Horse: Horseware Hale Bob OLD) 30.30, 2 Michael Jung (Ger) (fischerRocana FST) 32.80, 3 Sara Algotsson Ostholt (Swe) (Reality 39) 35.00, 4 Nicola Watson (GB) (Bulana) 35.50, 5 Gemma Tattersall (GB) (Quicklook V) 36.70

David Ungi, 24, is accused of killing Vinny Waddington, 18, in July 2015.
The teenager was found with gunshot wounds following a crash between a car and a scrambler bike in Banks Road.
Suspects from Liverpool, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Nottingham are also wanted. Several were involved in drugs-related offences.
Merseyside Police said David Ungi is the son of David Ungi Senior, who was killed in a notorious gangland shooting in the Toxteth area of Liverpool in 1995. The killing prompted a spate of other shootings in the city.
Also on the list of suspects, drawn up by the National Crime Agency and Crimestoppers, is alleged murderer Shane O'Brien, 28.
He is accused of killing Josh Hanson in front of his girlfriend in the RE Bar in Hillingdon, west London, in October 2015.
A £10,000 reward is on offer for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
Officers are also looking for Shazad Ghafoor, 29, who allegedly stole a car from a Land Rover dealership in Manchester in August 2013 using a false name, sparking a high-speed police chase with his wife and children in the car.
The pursuit ended with him rolling the car in Halifax, West Yorkshire, before police found up to £100,000 in cash in the vehicle.
He is accused of a string of offences for the chase, and supplying cannabis.
David Walley, 40, is alleged to have smuggled MDMA and cocaine into the UK in parcels delivered to Manchester.
Ahmed Dervish Omer, 45, from Nottingham, is wanted after fleeing in the middle of his trial for drugs offences in November last year. He was found guilty in his absence and sentenced to 10 years.
The remaining suspects are Michael Moogan and Robert Gerrard, both 52 and from Liverpool, who are accused of being part of an international drug trafficking ring; and Mark Liscott, 55, from Birmingham, who is wanted for allegedly dealing drugs while out on licence for a jail term for dealing cannabis.
Convicted rapist Rezgar Zengana, 33, is also on the list for posing as a minicab driver in Glasgow in 2006, and picking up a 25-year-old woman who he attacked. He was convicted for rape but has yet to be sentenced.
There were 904 arrests under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) between 2009 and 2015, data from the National Crime Agency reveals.
Spain accounted for the most arrests overall in that period, 245 in total, with 49 in 2014-15.
The Netherlands saw 129 arrests of people wanted by the UK since 2009.
The most common reason for arrest was drugs trafficking, with 154 for such offences.
The Metropolitan Police, the biggest force in the UK, made the most arrests abroad under the EAW in 2014-15, with 16 out of 161 arrests that year.
Dave Allen, from the NCA, said: "Those who believe they can use the Netherlands to evade capture or continue illegal activities soon find out that it is not a safe haven."
The hosts were 4-0 up within 31 minutes through Nelson Oliveira's penalty, Wes Hoolahan's chip, Alex Pritchard's 25-yard shot and Russell Martin's tap in.
Pritchard slotted in his second before Yann Kermorgant pulled one back, only for Hoolahan to tap in for 6-1.
Mitchell Dijks hit the bar for the Canaries before substitute Cameron Jerome slotted in number seven late on.
Reading, who had won their previous three games, stay fourth in the table with five games left to play, six points ahead of seventh-placed Fulham, who beat Ipswich 3-1.
Norwich, who confirmed on Friday that caretaker boss Alan Irvine will remain in charge for the rest of the season, had lost their previous two games without scoring a goal.
But they ripped the Royals apart to become the first side since Portsmouth hammered York in November 2015 to score six goals in one half of an English league game.
Oliveira started the rout from the spot in the third minute after being fouled by Chris Gunter, before Hoolahan chipped over Ali Al-Habsi from six yards from Timm Klose's pull-back.
Pritchard made it 3-0 with a snap-shot from 25 yards into the top corner and steered the fifth into the bottom corner, with Martin having added the fourth from close range after Oliveira's shot was parried.
Kermorgant headed in from a few yards out to pull one back but Hoolahan immediately restored the Canaries' five-goal advantage by tapping in from two yards.
The second half was played at a slower tempo, but Norwich saw Al-Habsi deny Pritchard, Jacob Murphy and Klose before Jerome completed the rout.
Norwich caretaker manager Alan Irvine:
"It was an excellent performance. Bearing in mind the quality of the opposition I think it's the best display since I have been here.
"The lads were absolutely spot on in the way they played both with and without the ball and to be honest we could have had a few more goals.
"To be fair the home form has been good this season - it's just a shame that our away form has been so poor. It's difficult for a side to challenge when you have an away record like ours."
Reading manager Jaap Stam:
"It was a tough afternoon for us - we needed to make it far more difficult for them than that. No-one plays badly on purpose but we needed to be more aggressive out there, we needed to show more.
"It was just one of those days when all their shots on target seemed to go in, every loose ball seemed to fall to them although we didn't help ourselves.
"I don't think it will affect the confidence of the players - all they can do now is learn from what happened to do and then move on, because we have some more very big games coming up.
"We are obviously not happy with this result - but we are in a good position because of the way we play the game, and the way the players have been performing over the course of the season, and you have to remember that."

With two thirds of results in he has 55% of the vote against 44% for his rival, Raila Odinga, figures show.
Mr Kenyatta is hoping for a second term in office but faces a tough challenge.
Voting has passed off largely peacefully and the electoral commission has urged people to wait calmly for all the results.
"During this critical phase, we urge all Kenyans to exercise restraint as we await official results from the polling stations and indeed as they start trickling in," the commission said.
Many fear a repeat of the violence that followed the disputed 2007 election. More than 1,100 Kenyans died and 600,000 were displaced.
Some polling stations remained open after the scheduled 17:00 (14:00 GMT) closing time in areas where heavy rain and other problems had hampered voting.
Despite Mr Kenyatta's early lead, the BBC's Tomi Oladipo says it is too early to tell which way Kenyans have voted.
To win outright, a candidate needs more than 50% of the vote, and at least 25% in 24 of Kenya's 47 counties. If that threshold is not met, a run-off vote between the top two candidates will be triggered.
Voting for the national and local assemblies has also been taking place.
People started queuing early to ensure they could cast their vote. Long queues could be seen, and video footage at one polling station showed people injured after an apparent stampede.
There was also the failure of some voter-identification equipment and one in four polling stations were apparently without mobile phone coverage meaning that officials would have to drive to the nearest town to send results.
There were reports that one man had been killed in clashes in the Kilifi area.
But there was one heartening moment when a woman gave birth to a baby girl as she queued in West Pokot to cast her ballot. New mother Pauline Chemanang called the circumstances of the birth a "blessing" and called her baby Kura, Swahili for "ballot", according to local radio.
Casting his vote in his hometown of Gatundu, north of Nairobi, Mr Kenyatta said he would accept the outcome of the election.
"To my competitors, as I have always said, in the event that they lose, let us accept the will of the people. I am willing, myself, to accept the will of the people," he said.
Opposition leader Mr Odinga cast his ballot in the Nairobi slum of Kibera.
Speaking outside the voting centre, he told his supporters: "Let's turn out in large numbers and vote."

The queues were long and the voters impatient. Many arrived in the middle of the night to cast their ballots early and the electronic system is taking quite a while to verify voters.
If fingerprints don't register, ID card numbers have to be typed in to the electronic tablets and then there's a manual backup.
The responsibility lies with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to deliver a free and fair election.
The test will come when the polls close, the votes are counted and the results have to be transmitted to the tallying centres.
The presidential race is expected to be close.
Mr Odinga, 72, has run for president three times and lost each time. President Kenyatta, the 55-year-old son of Kenya's founding president, beat him in the last election in 2013, but their rivalry is generations old - their fathers were political opponents in the 1960s.
Mr Kenyatta and his running-mate William Ruto were indicted by the International Criminal Court for their alleged roles in the bloodshed a decade ago. The case ultimately collapsed due to lack of evidence, and after key witnesses died or disappeared.

Chief EU observer Marietje Schaake said much would depend on the faith people hold in the new electronic voting system.
Before election day, a top election official was murdered, there were claims of vote-rigging and hate speech flyers and rhetorical text messages began circulating.
Some nervous Kenyans stockpiled food and water, while police prepared emergency first aid kits in the event of violence.
The 24-year-old was attacked on Friday night at about midnight.
Officers say the woman was walking near the train station when she was approached by a man and then attacked in a lane.
The suspect is a white Scottish man aged between 25 and 30, slim, with short dark hair. He was wearing blue jeans.
Det Insp Graeme McLachlan said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the young woman and she has been left traumatised by what happened.
"Our officers are currently working with her to establish exactly where the incident occurred however we understand that it was in a lane near to Central Station.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the surrounding area around midnight on the Friday and who saw or heard anything suspicious to get in touch."
New skin tones have appeared, along with lots of different flags and gadgets, for anyone who has updated to the latest software, iOS 8.3.
A whole load of new-look faces, families and hand gestures are available at the bottom of the keypad too.
For example, you can now get the man in the hat in six different colours. The hat stays the same though.
Meanwhile that woman with the crossed arms is now doing ninja moves across a variety of ethnicities.
And you can now send little pictures of a family with same-sex parents - although there's no choice in skin tones, as far as we've worked out.
The variations don't apply to all the person emojis, but you can have a princess in several different skin tones.
You can paint the nails of different hands, but you're still stuck with pink varnish!
The new emoji set will also let you share a whole new stack of flags, no longer just China, Russia, the US and Europe.
Does the new set of diverse emojis get the thumbs up with you?
I think that creating emojis of different skin tones shows respect to different races, different couple/family emojis allow people to use exactly the emoji they want to use.

The 27-year-old met up with the squad on Monday morning as they gathered ahead of their match against England.
Webb made his comeback from injury for Ospreys in mid-February and has not played for Wales since injuring a foot against Italy in September.
He led the team and played 80 minutes in Ospreys' 19-16 defeat by Leinster.
Webb established himself as Wales' first-choice scrum-half ahead of Mike Phillips after crossing for three tries in the 2015 Six Nations Championship.
However, he left the field on a stretcher in Wales' final warm-up game before the World Cup, where his place was taken by Gareth Davies.
The Scarlets number nine has since gone on to score six tries - five of them in the World Cup - and was named man of the match in Wales' 19-10 win against France.
Webb suffered a setback on his return for Ospreys when a clash of heads ruled him out for a week.
But he has looked assured in two matches since, and completed the full game against Leinster.
Both teams are unbeaten in this season's Six Nations, with England on course for a first Grand Slam since 2003 and Wales likely to be tournament favourites if they win at Twickenham.
The 136-year-old Friar Gate bridge has been closed for 50 years, but previous restoration efforts have failed, city councillor Martin Rawson said.
He said the council is asking for money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
English Heritage said the Grade II listed bridge, built in 1878, was a "nationally important" structure.
Mr Rawson said: "The best option for us going forward is to put a bid into the National Heritage Lottery Fund and to be able to get that money to bring the bridge back to its former glory.
"There have been a number of schemes over the years (to get support from developers) ... but unfortunately they have not come to fruition.
"There is no plan to reopen the bridge to rail traffic but the aim is to make it more visually attractive and perhaps to eventually use it as a pedestrian bridge."
The cost of the work on the ornately-decorated bridge would vary depending on the extent of the repairs, but could exceed £1m if tree clearance, drainage improvements and stone work are included, a council report said.
The railway bridge was closed in 1964 and later sold to Derby City Council by British Rail for £1 on the understanding that it would be maintained by the local authority.
Friar Gate Bridge Action Group has been lobbying for its restoration since the 1970s.
Police said a suspicious object found in the Rockfergus Avenue area on Saturday morning was an "elaborate hoax".
Elsewhere, a number of people were moved from their homes at Main Street in Cushendun, County Antrim, after a suspicious object was found.
It was also declared a hoax.
This would replace the current Ryanair route to London Stansted due to disappear from March 2017.
The funding would come under a government scheme known as a Public Service Obligation (PSO).
It would be the first UK-government backing for a PSO in Northern Ireland, the Department for Transport has said.
Derry City and Strabane District Council can now begin a tendering process to secure an airline.
Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said it would be key to the City of Derry's future.
"We're sending a very, very clear signal that the airport has a future and, not only has it a future, but it will get assistance where assistance is appropriate," he said.
"We in the region have always argued the need for a strong airport to attract foreign direct investment and tourism.
"I have all confidence in the management of City of Derry Airport to deliver for us in the future," Mr McCartney said.
Lord Ahmad, the aviation minister, said the UK's airports were vital in supporting local economies.
"That is why the UK government has agreed in principle to support the air route between City of Derry Airport and London," said Lord Ahmad.
"In terms of process, it is important that Derry City and Strabane District Council take forward the tender process to secure this route."
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire said it was good news for travellers in the north west and the wider regional economy.
"Having talked to local business leaders, I know the air link with London plays a vital role," he said.
"I am pleased the UK government has been able to step in to help, as part of our commitment to build a Northern Ireland that works for everyone," he said.
He has swooped after Keystone Group, which ran the operation, went into receivership and put the franchise up for sale.
Mr Oliver said he was "excited" about bringing the six restaurants back in-house.
The TV-chef has 42 restaurants in the UK and more than 25 abroad run under his name.
Financial adviser Ferrier Hodgson, which is handling the sale, said Mr Oliver was the preferred bidder and that his return would be the "ideal outcome".
Mr Oliver said the Australian restaurants - located in Sydney and nearby Parramatta, Perth, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide - were among the best performing of his global chain and that he planned putting more money into them.
"This will be a really exciting moment for me personally and I know the guys will be ecstatic to be back in-house," he said.
"It will allow us to invest even more time and money in people and restaurants, celebrate great Aussie produce and be even more creative."
Collapsed Keystone Group's other venues include a range of pubs, restaurants and hotels across Australia, some of which have already been sold since the firm went into receivership in June after failing to renegotiate loans with its investors.
It partly blamed strict alcohol and lock-out laws in Sydney for the failure of some of its ventures.
Two advisors, appointed by South Derbyshire District Council, will call at houses during the next five weeks to discuss recycling face to face.
Officials said they hoped this would help residents find out more about how this and the composting scheme work.
The advisors will also be gathering views on a new cardboard and plastics collection initiative.
The council said it hoped being able to talk to someone face to face would help both novices and existing recyclers.
Peter Watson, chairman of Environmental and Development Services at the council, said: "This campaign provides the perfect opportunity for residents to find out more about recycling and ask questions about all aspects of our schemes.
"Our households have consistently shown their commitment to helping the environment and we want to encourage them to continue their efforts.
"Our experts will clear up any uncertainties and help more people to recycle and compost more of their household waste."
He was pulled over by police in Northampton on Saturday while driving the white Toyota at about 12:00 BST on Wellingborough Road.
Officers, who seized 30 cars that day as part of a road policing operation, said it was an "interesting concept".
PC Dave Lee said the driver would likely be fined or face a court appearance for the misdemeanour.
"Interesting concept for this Toyota that was driving along. #PeePo," PC Lee wrote on Twitter.
Northamptonshire Police added: "Our central ticket office will write to him giving him various options from a fine through to a court appearance."
The Black Cats have also added former Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena, 31, from Napoli on a one-year deal.
Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio rates Borini highly, although the 22-year-old has scored just twice since becoming Brendan Rodgers's first Reds signing.
The Italian, who played for Rodgers at Chelsea's academy and Swansea, moved from Roma in July 2012 for £11m.
Liverpool's signing of Victor Moses from Chelsea on loan pushed him further away from first-team contention.
Capped once by Italy, against the United States in February 2012, Borini has made 20 appearances for the Anfield club.
Dossena, who made 31 appearances during an 18-month spell at Anfield from 2008, helped Napoli to second-place in Serie A last season. | Teachers should be valued "through their pay packet", says Liberal Democrat schools minister David Laws.

In a statement the ministry said the attempt was made on Sunday night in Taichung prison in central Taiwan.
The statement added that he had used a towel in the attempt but was stopped by guards in a prison bathroom. He is now said to be in a stable condition.
Chen Shui-bian, 62, was the island's president from 2000-2008. He is serving a sentence for corruption offences.
According to the statement, Mr Chen said he tried to take his own life to protest against his conviction.
"No serious abnormalities were found after a health check," the justice ministry said.
The jail had arranged for a psychologist to see Mr Chen and his mood was "gradually improving", it added.
Mr Chen had been receiving medical treatment in recent months for health problems, which according to local reports include severe depression.
His office has been seeking medical parole for him.
The former president, who angered Beijing while in office by pushing for Taiwan's independence, was jailed in 2009 for corruption.
In 2011 he was given an additional sentence for money-laundering and forgery. He says the charges are politically motivated and a punishment for his pro-independence stance.
Chen's election as president ended more than 50 years of rule by the Kuomingtang, which is now back in power.
The information was previously used by the police and the MI5 intelligence agency.
However, the Telegraph newspaper cited industry sources, in a report on 25 April, saying the government's access had been "blocked".
Twitter declined to comment on the matter.
"We are protesting this decision. We are in talks with Twitter on getting access to this data," a government spokesman said, according to the Reuters news agency.
The BBC understands that the data in question is available to private companies but the Home Office has now been denied access to it.
Recent reports of Twitter data being used for surveillance had caused the company "great concern", vice president Chris Moody wrote in a blog post last November.
"Our commitment to social justice is core to our mission and well established," he wrote.
Prior to that, the firm had already blocked the CIA from purchasing data on Twitter users from the data-gathering service Dataminr.
Dataminr confirmed to the BBC that it is not the third party previously used by the Home Office to access Twitter data.
"Dataminr is committed to privacy and civil liberties protections," the firm said in a statement.
Stormont has the potential to introduce a 12.5% rate - in line with Ireland - from 2017.
It is seeking to attract thousands of new jobs from overseas firms.
The Treasury has previously calculated the cost to the block grant at £325m, annually, by 2020.
But Grow NI, a lobby group in favour of the tax cut, believes the cost "may be closer to £192m".
It says its estimate is based on an analysis of newly-released 2014/15 Treasury and HM Revenue and Customs figures.
Corporation tax is the tax companies pay on their profits.
The current UK rate is 20%, but it will fall to 19% in 2017.
An even lower corporation tax rate locally would mean less revenue for the Treasury.
Under rules, Stormont has to surrender a slice of its block to make up for that - this is where the calculation comes in.
Corporation tax powers were devolved to Stormont earlier this year.
But a clause was built in meaning it can only implement a cut from 2017, provided it resolves the dispute over implementing welfare reform and other budgetary issues.
Stellenbosch University condemned "racial superiority and any attempts to polarise" the campus, a spokesman said.
The posters, reminiscent of Nazi propaganda to rally support for Hitler, called for a "Fight for Stellenbosch".
The university has been fraught with racial tension since white minority rule ended in 1994.
During apartheid, it was an elite institution for Afrikaans-speaking white people.
The university has been hit by protests over language policy, tuition fees, and alleged racism.
Following calls for Afrikaans to be replaced with English as the main language of instruction, the university says it has adopted a multilingual policy and no student is excluded on the grounds of language.
Most black people in South Africa prefer to speak English than Afrikaans.
The posters were issued in the name of "The New Right", and called on "Anglo-Afrikaner" students to attend a meeting on Thursday to "Fight for Stellenbosch".
The images were a recreation of the Nazi-era League of German Girls, and of slogans such as "The German student fighting for the Fuhrer and the people".
The posters have caused outrage, with people saying they were the latest example of racism and inequality at the prestigious institution, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in the main city, Johannesburg.
In a statement, the university said it had so far identified three individuals who were allegedly linked to the "totally unacceptable" and "highly offensive" posters.
Investigations, led by the university's Equality Unit, were continuing, it added.
"There seems to be deliberate mischief-making involved and, if that should be the case, disciplinary steps will be taken," Vice-Chancellor Wim de Villiers said.
"Stream+ is a loyalty points system where players can earn points by watching streams," said Patrick Gilmore of Amazon Game Studios.
He said points could be used in "polls and wagering" and could be spent on items to use in games.
The studio's forthcoming multiplayer game Breakaway will be the first title to use Stream+.
Breakaway is Amazon's answer to rival studios Blizzard, Valve and Riot, which have all developed similar team-based battle games.
"Over recent years Amazon has invested significantly into its first-party games development capability but has yet to make a commercial impact on the market," said Piers Harding-Rolls of the IHS Markit consultancy.
"Amazon's acquisition of Twitch back in 2014 laid the foundation for the development of its own games that were built from the ground up to engage Twitch viewers.
"Breakaway does look to be an interesting addition to the competitive play arena with it mixing some sports elements with more traditional action elements. We've seen with Rocket League that it's possible to make a break out hit in the esports scene against the incumbent titles."
Mr Gilmore said Stream+ points could be accrued by watching other gamers' video streams on the Twitch website.
A demonstration video showed a player betting on the outcome of a Breakaway tournament for the chance to win more points.
However, Amazon and Twitch have not revealed exactly how the virtual currency will work.
Video games and esports are under close scrutiny from gambling regulators, after unofficial and unlicensed betting websites were developed around popular titles such as Fifa and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
The UK's Gambling Commission has said it is "paying close attention to the growing popularity of virtual or 'in-game' items, which can be traded, sold or used as virtual currencies to gamble".
The ability for players to buy virtual currency using real money, and the facility to turn virtual coins back into something with "real world" value are thought to be an important distinction.
Online retail giant Amazon bought Twitch in 2014, in a deal worth $970m (£747m).
The man was driving a car on the A449, near junction 2 of the M54, on the Staffordshire/West Midlands border, when he hit the HGV at about 04:40 BST.
He suffered multiple, serious injuries and died at the scene, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
No-one else was hurt in the collision, which closed the road for a time. Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
The US president-elect said he wanted to avoid "even the appearance" of any conflict of interest.
New York's attorney general is looking into suspected "impropriety" at the Foundation, which Mr Trump denies.
The attorney general's office said Mr Trump could not shut the Foundation while the investigation was continuing.
Mr Trump's statement on Saturday said that "the foundation has done enormous good works over the years in contributing millions of dollars to countless worthy groups, including supporting veterans, law enforcement officers and children.
"However, to avoid even the appearance of any conflict with my role as president I have decided to continue to pursue my strong interest in philanthropy in other ways."
Mr Trump will be inaugurated on 20 January, succeeding President Barack Obama.
The Republican billionaire beat his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the 8 November elections.
Why has the Trump Foundation become controversial?
New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in September that his office wanted to ensure the Foundation was "complying with the laws that govern charities in New York".
"We have been concerned that the Trump Foundation may have engaged in some impropriety from that point of view," Mr Schneiderman told CNN at the time.
US media say Mr Schneiderman's office has been investigating the Trump Foundation since at least June, when it formally questioned a donation made to a group backing Republican Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in 2013.
The $25,000 (£20,350, €23,920) payment was made at a time when Mrs Bondi's office was reportedly considering whether to open a fraud investigation into Trump University.
The fraud investigation never happened, although Mrs Bondi denies the decision was influenced by the donation she received.
Aides to Mr Trump have already admitted the donation was a mistake resulting from clerical errors, according to reports.
The Donald J Trump Foundation is a private charitable organisation started by Donald Trump in 1987 with money he earned from his best-selling book, The Art of the Deal.
Up until about 2005, the foundation was primarily funded by Mr Trump himself, including a million-dollar contribution in 1989. Since then, however, it has been bankrolled almost exclusively by donations from Mr Trump's friends and associates.
According to its 2014 filing with the Internal Revenue Service (the most recent on record) the foundation claimed assets totalling $1,273,895 and brought in $500,849 - almost entirely from a gift from New York ticket-reselling mogul Richard Ebers, a regular contributor. The foundation gave out $591,450.
Other past prominent Foundation donors include Vince McMahon, the professional wrestling impresario and NBC Universal (which aired Mr Trump's show, The Apprentice).
Many of the contributions to Mr Trump's foundation appear to be in lieu of payments to Mr Trump himself. People Magazine gave $150,000 after it received rights to publish photos of Mr Trump's son, Barron. Comedy Central donated $400,000 after Mr Trump appeared on one of its celebrity roasts.
Several dozen charitable groups received contributions in 2014 - about an average number for the foundation. They included the Alliance for Lupus Research, the American Skin Association, the Anti-Defamation League and a variety of veterans' charities.
Pay rates for cleaners, whose numbers have been slashed in recent years, remain frozen at 2012 rates.
The United Voice union said the low pay rates were particularly hard to take in light of revelations about MPs abusing taxpayer-funded expenses.
Former lower house speaker Bronwyn Bishop resigned earlier this month because of her use of expenses.
The union is pushing for a pay increase of A$1.80 per hour, bringing pay rates up to A$22.90 ($16.90, £10.80) per hour.
Last year, changes introduced by the Abbott government pushed pay rates for full time contract cleaners who work in government offices back to 2012 levels, said the union.
"The Coalition's treatment of government cleaners is unfair and unwarranted," union representative Lyndal Ryan said in a press release.
"Frankly, it's not a good look ... Self-indulgence and waste of taxpayers' money could not be more stark," said Ms Ryan.

The stock market's rise over the year ranks it among the world's best-performing major indexes.
For the day, it closed up 0.3% to 19,033.71, taking the strong lead from Wall Street overnight.
The index's performance over the year was driven by the economic recovery in the US, a weaker yen, along with the Bank of Japan's asset purchases.
Japanese markets will be closed on Thursday for a public holiday.
The rest of Asia also headed mostly higher, following US shares where rising oil prices led to a rebound in the market.
The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones indexes both gained over 1% as oil prices rallied overnight to climb by around 3% after Monday's declines.
Encouraging economic data such as housing and consumer confidence in the US also boosted investor sentiment.
In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed up 1% to 5,319.9, hitting a two-month high and leading the gains in the region.
The index also finished higher for the ninth consecutive session - marking its longest winning streak since January.
Chinese shares traded mixed. The Shanghai Composite closed up 0.3% at 3,572.88 points. However, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended down 0.5% at 21,882.15 points.
Investors are looking ahead to manufacturing data due on Friday for clues on the extent of the slowdown in the world's second largest economy.

Factory output fell a seasonally adjusted 2.1% from a month earlier, according to Statistics Korea.
The Danish striker, then 20, arrived for a club record fee of an initial £7.5m but failed to score in 11 games.
Cardiff owner Vincent Tan believes the club paid too much - and has instructed lawyers to take a detailed look into the transfer. Tan says he has new information on the matter.
It comes as Tan renewed his attack on former boss Malky Mackay.
Tan called Mackay an "idiot" over the Cornelius signing.
The striker was Scotsman Mackay's first purchase after guiding Cardiff to promotion to the Premier League, but he rejoined FC Copenhagen after just six months in Wales.
Cornelius rediscovered his form at Copenhagen with a tally of 45 goals over his two spells with the club.
Cornelius joined Italian Serie A side Atalanta this summer.
"It was unfortunate that we only stayed in the Premier League for one season," said Tan.
"You know the main reason, I always say, and I have told Mehmet [Dalman, Cardiff's chairman] the same, is that we spent a lot of money there - I think it was £50m.
"What did we get? We paid £10.5m [based on add-ons] for Cornelius who didn't even play 45 minutes and then the manager said he was a project.
"I'm in the Premier League, I need to survive. What an idiot he [Mackay] is."
Tan added, "You pay for a big striker £10.5m you should play him 90 minutes, not 45 minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes. Because he's a project he [Mackay] says, finally, he says he [Cornelius] is a project.
"How come I'm in the Premier League and you're finding time to do a project for the future? What rubbish is that? And you pay £45,000 a week for a project? Rubbish!"
Chris Nott, a senior partner at Cardiff law firm Capital Law, confirmed he's been instructed to look into the Cornelius transfer.
"Mr Tan has asked for this particular transfer to be looked at in micro detail," said Nott.
Mackay's representatives told BBC Wales Sport they had nothing to say regarding the new investigation.
Tan's acrimonious sacking of Mackay - who is now the Scottish Football Association's performance director - was one of several flashpoints in what has been a tumultuous tenure since the Malaysian businessman bought the Welsh club in 2010.
Cardiff subsequently sent a dossier to the Football Association alleging that Mackay and former head of recruitment Iain Moody shared racist and sexist texts, with the governing body deciding that both men would face no action.
The club engaged law firm Mishcon de Reya, whose investigators obtained a search order from the High Court to enter the property seizing work computers and phones and taking electronic imagery of evidence.
This came as the UN published a report saying that Israeli commandos used excessive force when they boarded an aid ship. Nine Turkish activists died.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said it was "time Israel pays a price for its illegal actions".
Israel has refused to apologise and said its troops acted in self-defence.
"Israel, like any other country, has a legitimate right to protect its citizens and soldiers," an Israeli government official told the BBC.
The report was leaked to the New York Times on Thursday, the day before it was delivered to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's office.
"The secretary general's idea was to help bring these two countries back together again. He deeply regrets the fact that this has not been possible through this report," said deputy UN spokesman Eduardo del Buey.
"I imagine he will want time to read the report, to discuss it with his officials and then take a decision as to future steps."
US state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Washington hoped Turkey and Israel "will continue to look for opportunities to improve their longstanding relationship, and we will encourage both to work towards that end", according to the AFP news agency.
The nine pro-Palestinian activists who died were on board the Turkish-flagged ship, Mavi Marmara, when it was intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters as sailed towards Gaza's coast on 31 May 2010.

The Palmer report was seen by the media in Israel as a rare vindication by the UN.
Crucially it accepted that its naval blockade of Gaza is both legal and "a legitimate security measure" to stop weapons reaching militants by sea.
An Israeli inquiry reached the same conclusion, while a Turkish one found it to be unlawful and a collective punishment of the people of Gaza.
The dilemma that remains for Israeli officials is how to handle the deepening of the rift with their long-time regional ally, Turkey, with which it has trade, military and strategic ties.
This report was meant to mend relations but has achieved just the opposite.
Turkey wants an apology and compensation for the families of the victims. Israel has expressed only regret but may consider payouts. It believes a full apology would demoralise its citizens and project weakness.
At the time, the Israeli military said its commandos fired live rounds only after being attacked with clubs, knives and guns. But activists on board said the commandos started shooting as soon as they hit the deck.
The UN inquiry chaired by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer found the Israeli troops faced "significant, organised and violent resistance from a group of passengers" and were therefore required to use force for their own protection.
But it said Israel's decision to board the vessels "with such substantial force at a great distance from the blockade zone and with no final warning immediately prior to the boarding was excessive and unreasonable".
The report noted "forensic evidence showing that most of the deceased were shot multiple times, including in the back, or at close range".
The inquiry also found Israel's naval blockade "was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law".
The report was completed months ago, but its publication was delayed several times as Turkey and Israel attempted to repair their diplomatic relations, which have been frozen since the flotilla incident.
But on Friday, hours before the report was released by the UN, Turkey' announced that diplomatic relations had been reduced to the level of second secretary and all military agreements had been suspended.
"The time has come for Israel to pay for its stance that sees it above international laws and disregards human conscience," Mr Davutoglu said. "The first and foremost result is that Israel is going to be devoid of Turkey's friendship."
"As long as the Israeli government does not take the necessary steps, there will be no turning back," he warned.
Mr Davutoglu said the report "displayed the violence committed by the Israeli soldiers", but added that some of its findings were questionable.
"Turkey does not recognise Israel's blockade of Gaza. It will secure the study of this blockade at the International Court of Justice."
He added that Turkey would take all necessary measures to protect its shipping in the eastern Mediterranean.
Asked to comment on the UN panel's decision not to recommend that Israel apologise, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said: "To be frank, the report is null and void for us."
Turkey's embassy in Washington later said in a statement that it was "determined to defend the rights of its citizens and will take legal actions against all those responsible for the crimes committed".
Hamas, whose decision to seize control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 led to Israel imposing the blockade, applauded the Turkish move.
"This is a natural response to the Israeli crime against the flotilla," spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told the BBC.
The Israeli official said the government accepted with "reservations" the UN report, which it considered "professional, profound and serious".
"During the events of the Mavi Marmara flotilla, Israeli soldiers boarded the boat with non-lethal means. They had no intention to hurt anyone," the official said.
"Once the Israeli soldiers were viciously attacked by dozens of violent IHH activists, armed with batons, knives and steel pipes, the soldiers had to defend themselves," the official added, referring to the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, which Israel has banned for supporting Hamas.
"As recommended in the report, Israel again expresses regret about the loss of life but will not apologise for acts of self-defence by its soldiers."
Head of the Army General Sir Nick Carter said the move was about trying to operate "smarter".
The 77th Brigade, made up of reservists and regular troops and based in Hermitage, Berkshire, will be formally created in April.
It has been inspired by the Chindits who fought in Burma in World War Two.
An Army spokesman said the unit would "play a key part in enabling the UK to fight in the information age" and that it "consists of more than just traditional capabilities".
He said: "77 Brigade is being created to draw together a host of existing and developing capabilities essential to meet the challenges of modern conflict and warfare.
"It recognises that the actions of others in a modern battlefield can be affected in ways that are not necessarily violent and it draws heavily on important lessons from our commitments to operations in Afghanistan amongst others."
Recruitment for the brigade, 42% of whose personnel will be reservists, will begin this spring.
Its members will come from the Royal Navy and RAF as well as from the Army.
One former commander of British forces in Afghanistan has warned the new operation should not mean fewer troops on the frontline.
Colonel Richard Kemp said: "My view is that this should not be done at the expense of combat troops. Where are these 2,000 people going to come from?"
"They are likely to come from savings made in combat troops. I think that's a mistake.
"I think the British forces have already been cut far too much in a very uncertain and increasingly dangerous world.
He acknowledged the need for this type of innovation, but said "it should be added to the forces, not created out of savings found elsewhere."
The creation of the new unit is part of a major restructuring of the military under the Army 2020 plan, which will see the military scaled down to around 82,000 regular troops in the next five years.
The unit will also seek "new ways of allowing civilians with bespoke skills to serve alongside their military counterparts".
The Army spokesman said it would share the "spirit of innovation" of the Chindits in the Burma Campaign of 1942 to 1945.
Chindits was the name given to the Long Range Penetration (LRP) groups that operated in the Burmese jungle behind enemy lines, targeting Japanese communications.
The new unit will also use the old Chindit insignia of a Chinthe, a mythical Burmese creature which is half-lion and half-dragon.
Tony Redding from Kent, whose father was in the Chindits, told the BBC he was disappointed by the move. He said: "Sadly the Ministry of Defence didn't inform the surviving Chindit veterans of the decision to use the badge in this way.
"I've tried very hard to look for similarities and the only common denominator I can find is that the Chindits 70 years ago were a highly unconventional force. Perhaps this new force are to use some unconventional means of warfare."
By BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale
The Army says it's learnt valuable lessons from Afghanistan - not least that it can't win wars using pure military force alone.
The brigade will be made up of warriors who don't just carry weapons, but who are also skilled in using social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and the dark arts of "psyops" - psychological operations.
They will try to influence local populations and change behaviour through what the Army calls traditional and unconventional means.
Civilians with the right skills will work alongside regular troops and reservists and could be sent anywhere in the world to help win hearts and minds.
It can be seen as proof that the Army is adapting to modern asymmetric warfare, and that it remains relevant at a time when there are fears within the British military of more cuts after the election.
Paul Rogers, a professor of international security at the University of Bradford, said the announcement represented a "big expansion" of the Army's psychological operations and was an "attempt to rebrand and update" this area of its work.
"We had so much difficulty in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's about trying to learn the lessons of how these groups are using social media," Prof Rogers explained.
He added: "In some senses it's defensive - trying to present the case from this side against opponents who hold many of the cards.
"We've seen with Islamic State, its incredible capability on the net, Facebook, Instagram and all the rest."
A former Army officer involved in psychological operations in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq, Simon Bergman, predicted it would help build "the Army for the future".
"For example, 77 brigade have a large component of civil affairs soldiers who'll be operating in populations, working with them, achieving military effects - and a broader effect, because as we know from Afghanistan, the military doesn't work in isolation. It works as a component of government."
The man, in his 20s, was found in Moseley Street, Highgate, with suspected stab wounds on Saturday morning. He died on the way to hospital.
A murder investigation is under way and part of the street was cordoned off for forensic checks. CCTV is also being checked.
Anyone with information is urged to contact West Midlands Police.
Det Insp Paul Joyce said: "We are looking into reports there was an altercation, but I would urge anybody with any information to get in contact with me and my team as soon as possible."
On a joint visit to British Gas offices in Cardiff, Mr Cameron said the referendum campaign was very close with many people genuinely undecided.
Mr Jones said Britain had to be "on the pitch" for the world to take notice.
Vote Leave Cymru said it was "another stage-managed event, organised away from real members of the public".
It is believed to be the first time the two heads of government - one Conservative, one Labour - have campaigned together.
Mr Jones was first to speak at the pro-Remain event on Wednesday, making his case for continued EU membership in football terms.
"Let's make sure we are on the pitch, let's make sure we are at the heart of Europe, and let's make sure people take notice of us," he said.
Mr Cameron said voters should not be suspicious of political rivals coming together on a common cause.
"When Labour and Conservative politicians are prepared to stand together on an issue .... I don't see that as some establishment stitch-up," he said.
"I see that as a reason really to listen to what is a very strong case that Britain will be stronger, safer and better off if we stay [in the EU]."
A spokesman for Vote Leave Cymru said it was "yet another stage-managed event, organised away from real members of the public", asking: "What are the remain camp afraid of?
"It's also highly unusual to see the Prime Minister sharing a platform with Carwyn Jones, having only recently declared that the most damaging thing for Wales' future would be another five years of Labour in government," the spokesman added.
"For Carwyn's part, during the general election he claimed that Conservatives at Westminster would do irreparable damage to Wales.
"It just goes to show how desperate the remain camp has become and they will say or do literally anything to instil fear in Welsh voters.
"The fact is, the safe choice is to vote leave on June 23 so that we can take back control of our own affairs and thrive and prosper as a truly independent nation."
This is a big moment in the EU referendum campaign in Wales and a clear attempt by the two men to try to rise above party politics.
Sharing a platform will be unpalatable for some in their respective parties.
After all, on the Labour side, Carwyn Jones has spent the best part of six years blaming a Cameron government for a huge range of problems.
And there is the deep-seated animosity between both parties that has developed over decades of tribal politics, from the miners' strike onwards.
There will be the fear in Labour ranks of the danger of sharing a platform with Conservatives, as has been seen in Scotland in recent years.
But, in the here-and-now, the question will be what can be achieved?
Many traditional Labour voters are going to vote to leave because they feel disengaged with politics and deeply concerned about immigration.
The leader of Welsh Labour sharing a platform with David Cameron is unlikely to change their minds.
But Labour itself admits there is confusion about the party's stance on the EU, and this appearance will help at least identify Labour with the remain cause.
Leave campaigners will inevitably see this as a desperate move by a campaign waking up to the reality of weakening public support.
Action Fraud - part of the City of London Police - said members of the public reported losses of £4.7m in May.
That compares to losses of £1.4m in April, and £932,000 in March.
However Action Fraud said it was too early to conclude that the increase was a direct result of the introduction of new pension freedoms in April.
That is because victims may report the losses many months after they were actually defrauded.
"With regards to the recent pension reforms, and the effect that this will have on pension liberation fraud, it is at this stage difficult to draw any conclusions," said a spokesperson for Action Fraud.
The pensions minister, Baroness Ros Altmann, agreed with that analysis.
She said she was "not convinced" that the pensions freedoms have led to a rise in fraud.
"People are a lot more aware of it, and are starting to report it. It can take a long time for people to realise they've lost their money," she told BBC Radio Five Live.
Pension liberation fraudsters typically contact those with pension pots, and persuade them they can release the money - for a fee.
However they usually do not make it clear that by doing so, the victims can be subject to large tax bills.
Anyone under the age of 55 is liable for tax on their liberated pension at a rate of up to 55%. Following the pension reforms, which came in at the beginning of April, those over 55 are liable for income tax on 75% of their savings.
Anyone whose income exceeds £150,000 in one year- including the amount taken out of their pension pot - could have to pay up to 45% in tax.
The losses reflect the amount the victims owe in tax, plus the fee they have paid to the fraudsters.
The figures show that, on average, victims lost £60,500 - in some cases more than half their pension.
However, even though the amount of fraud has increased, the number of cases being reported has actually fallen.
There were 78 cases of reported fraud in both May and April, down from 82 in March, and 240 in February.
Project Bloom has been set up by the government to try and combat such pension fraud.
Further tips on how to avoid being scammed are available on the Serious Fraud Office website, as well as elsewhere.

The new banknotes are slightly smaller than the existing paper £5 notes and have new security features to make them harder to copy.
The Bank of England, who make the bank notes, say they will be cleaner, more secure and longer lasting.
Paper £5 notes are still okay to use if you have them or are given them. The Bank of England plans to gradually withdraw them as they are paid into banks by people and businesses.
More than 30 countries around the world already use polymer banknotes, including Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
New polymer £10 notes are planned for release in summer 2017, and polymer £20 notes will be available by 2020.
She revealed her mental illness during a visit to a homeless shelter for young LGBT people last month.
In a TV interview about the visit, she said: "I suffer from a mental illness - I suffer from PTSD. I've never told anyone that before."
Lady Gaga, now 30, first spoke publicly about the rape two years ago.
She has since admitted she blamed herself and did not tell anyone about it for seven years.
Her interview with the Today Show, which was broadcast on NBC on Monday, is the first time she has talked about having PTSD.
During her visit to the Ali Forney Centre in New York, she told the homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teenagers that her trauma helped her understand others.
"The kindness that's been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it's really saved my life," the singer said, after bringing presents to the astonished teenagers at the centre.
"Meditation helps me to calm down," she said, adding that she was struggling with her mental illness "every day".
Lady Gaga later tweeted: "Today I shared one my deepest secrets w/ the world. Secrets keep you sick w/ shame."
A tearful young person from the centre she visited said: "Lady Gaga's act of kindness today was a reminder that love still exists - and that there's still some for me."
On social media, her fans opened up with their own experiences in response.
"I remember how your music and your spirit got me through really hard times," one user tweeted back to the singer. "Now I'm 1723 days self-harm free."
"I have something to tell you. I also suffer from PTSD. This is the first time I say it too. I love you and I admire you so much," another replied.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder which can develop after a very stressful, frightening or distressing event, or a prolonged traumatic experience.
People naturally feel afraid when in danger, but the legacy of some traumatic events is a change in perception of fear.
They may feel stressed or frightened in day-to-day life.
It can be caused by any traumatic event - including military conflict, serious road accidents, natural disasters, sexual assaults, and muggings.
Sufferers typically tend to re-experience the event in flashbacks, avoid talking about it, have trouble sleeping, or experience a change in mood.
Lady Gaga is one of the world's most successful contemporary artists, with a string of hits across her first five albums. Her sixth, Joanne, was released in October.
The star has long been an advocate for the LGBTQ community; campaigning for Hillary Clinton during the election and protesting outside Trump Tower when the results were announced.
Last week, she gave her backing to gay rights during Donald Trump's presidency, telling the BBC "we are going to do everything that we can to protect the social progress we have made over the last eight years".
The 23-year-old RAF gunner disappeared after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds in September.
Despite a high-profile missing persons campaign, detectives revealed in March he may have ended up in a bin lorry.
About 3,500 tonnes of waste has been searched at a landfill site at Milton, Cambridgeshire, in the last 10 weeks.
In a statement, Suffolk Police described the operation as "so unusual".
Officers have now pinpointed rubbish dating from around the time Mr Mckeague went missing and waste from the Bury St Edmunds area.
A force spokesman said: "In view of the dates on items still being found and advice from officers on the ground... it is likely the search will continue for at least three further weeks to ensure that the area holding waste from the relevant period is comprehensively examined."
The search would then be taken "week-by-week", he added.
On an island where speeds limits range from 15mph on lanes to 40mph on main roads, the news may surprise mainland motorists accustomed to faster traffic.
The news has provoked a social media road safety debate on the island.
BBC News surveyed parish constables, who are locally elected, to highlight Jersey's biggest road safety worries.
St Helier
Researchers looked at data from 2003 to 2011. Recent years show similar results
Source: States of Jersey Transport & Technical Services
Jersey's only town bears the brunt of the island's road safety problems, says Constable Simon Crowcroft.
He entered politics after his son was knocked down by a car in 1994, breaking a leg, and says the situation has improved little since.
"You can drive at 30mph through central St Helier, which is a higher speed limit than you have in many of the rural parishes.
"The States have to put in place a walking and cycling infrastructure, which is lamentably overdue."
Grouville
"It's bad driving that causes accidents here rather than speed," says Constable John Le Maistre. "The coast road is difficult for pedestrians because it has no pavements.
"You can have a 30mph limit but unless it's heavily policed people ignore it. We have boy racers in the middle of the night and there's no stopping them."
Trinity
A penalty points system would discourage bad driving, says Constable John Gallichan.
"With road safety, 95% of people are fine but for the remainder, it doesn't matter what the speed limit is, they ignore it.
"I think a points system would definitely be a deterrent."
St Mary
One of Jersey's smallest parishes will introduce a traffic-calming scheme this year.
Constable Juliette Gallichan says: "Traffic volumes and speed make it difficult for pedestrians and cyclists to safely access the amenities in St Mary.
"The junction at St Mary's Church is the scene of numerous shunts and speeding through the existing 20mph stretch near the school is always an issue."
St Peter
Harsher penalties might improve motorist behaviour, says John Refault, Constable of St Peter.
"Unfortunately, speed limits in themselves do not influence those that speed regularly."
"Financial penalties are not habit-changing. Points and licence suspensions that severely inconvenience habitual speeders are more likely to bring about a change of habit."
St Martin
Le Grande Route de Rozel between The Royal pub and Le Clos du Viviers worries Constable Michel Le Trouquer.
"It is a busy main road but narrow. It is used by pedestrians and may be suitable for a 'Pedestrian Road' similar to those at West Hill, La Grande Route de Mont A L'abbe, and Jambart Lane."
He also highlighted rush-hour traffic and said the variety of speed limits is confusing.
St Clement
Safety issues are less of a concern in St Clement, says Constable Leonard Norman.
"It's improved a hell of a lot over the past few years because of the activity of the honorary and states police doing speed checks, but you'll always get the odd ones.
"You could argue that some of the smaller roads could have a lower limit than 30mph but there are very few where you can do more than 20mph so it's not top of our priorities."
St John
"Our biggest problem is the surface of the roads," says Constable Philip Rondel.
"Around the church and school is the most important area. We have thousands of traffic movements a day, even up here in St John's.
"It's quite a considerable number of vehicles, 3,000, and we've already extended 30mph limits and we are looking at putting in a footpath from the village towards the supermarket."
St Lawrence
By some measures, road deaths are rare in Jersey, although St Lawrence witnessed one in December last year.
"Victoria Avenue is part of our parish and there have been fatalities there," says Constable Deidre Mezbourian
"We're looking to make improvements to the historic village centre on the main road. It may not necessarily include traffic calming but I'd be surprised if it didn't include some form of measures to slow traffic down."
St Saviour
Safety of schoolchildren is a recurrent theme in Jersey's road safety debate, although one constable views some pupils as part of the problem.
"Most of the children in the upper sixth have cars or motorcycles and they're all coming through St Saviour," says Constable Sadie Rennard.
"It's a nightmare. I don't have the answers but all I know is that they're riding through my parish and I feel sorry for my parishioners who pay rates in the parish and have to put up with the traffic."
St Ouen
"We're a bit of a leisure parish so we have to accommodate car rallies, horse rallies, cycle races and all sorts," says Chef de Police Roy Le Bas.
"We do have a lot of petty, careless driving. I can see an increase in those numbers over the past 18 months and that concerns me. Eventually someone will get really hurt."
St Brelade
Constable Stephen Pallett says a parish-wide speed limit of 30mph is likely.
"Certainly on Route Orange there have been some quite serious accidents, especially at the bottom corner. It's at school times when young people are cycling and walking to school.
"We'll be looking at an all-parish limit of 30mph with some exceptions. I don't think that's a million miles from what we should be looking at island-wide."
"What has gone against him is his man- management style. There are issues other than the performance that have undermined him.
"When you look at the flashpoints Mancini has had this season, that gives you an indication of the difference in holistic approach that City are looking for."
Mancini, 48, was sacked on Monday after three-and-a-half years in charge.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said the club needed to "develop a holistic approach to all aspects of football at the club".
"There wasn't the togetherness between player and manager," Mills told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Basically, Mancini just ignored players from day one. He was the manager, he made decisions, he made no attempt to have any sort of relationship with the players, didn't take them under his wing. It was very much, 'I'm the manager, I'll do my thing, I'll pick the team and then I'll disappear'.
"You speak to the players and you know there's a lot of discontent in that dressing room. They'll say it wasn't a particularly happy camp at times, there were a lot of different factions in that dressing room."
Mancini, who signed a new five-year deal last summer having won the Premier League title, has been involved in a number of high-profile altercations with his players since he replaced Mark Hughes in December 2009.
The Italian's most notable quarrel was in January when he was involved in a training-ground bust-up with Italy striker Mario Balotelli.Photos showed the pair having to be separated by staff and team-mates at Carrington training ground.
Mancini also clashed with Carlos Tevez. In September 2011, Mancini said the Argentine was "finished" at the club after accusing him of refusing to play as a substitute in the Champions League game against Bayern Munich.
After a disciplinary hearing, fines, a suspension, an unauthorised return to Argentina and an apology, Tevez returned to the City fold five months later.
There were further instances of unrest between manager and players.
Midfielder Samir Nasri criticised Mancini after the manager claimed he wanted to "punch" the Frenchman for his inconsistent displays earlier this year, while goalkeeper Joe Hart was rebuked for criticising the side following a 3-2 Champions League loss at Real Madrid in September.
Mills added: "You need to understand the players, you need to know what makes them tick. You have never heard the players come out and back their manager and that sticks in the mind.
"You cannot come out and criticise your players publicly. Arsene Wenger doesn't do it at Arsenal and Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't do it at Manchester United. We know he kicks boots, or gives them the hairdryer, he might even have had the odd punch-up, but in public he protects his players.
"Why didn't those top players, such as Robin van Persie, who City were linked with, go there in the summer?
"They were in the Champions League, they were the champions of England, they pay more money than anybody else. Why would you not go there unless it wasn't a happy place to be?"
Mancini's sacking means the Premier League's major trophy winners from 2011-12 have now all been sacked. League Cup-winner Kenny Dalglish was dismissed by Liverpool last May and FA Cup and Champions League-winner Roberto di Matteo by Chelsea in November. In addition, Championship-winner Brian McDermott was sacked by Reading in March.
That view was endorsed by BBC Radio 5 live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis.
"What has gone against him is his man-management style," said Dennis.
"It is other issues other than performance which have undermined him. When you look at the flashpoints that Mancini has had this season, that gives you an indication of the difference in holistic approach that City are looking for."
Former City player Kit Symons told BBC Radio 5 live that he believed an element of stability would benefit the club.
"I don't want City to go down that road and become like that, where managers come and go at the drop of a hat," he said. "Long-term success is what clubs and fans want, rather than this short-term fix of changing the manager as soon as they don't win a trophy for a season."
Kevin Parker of the Manchester City supporters club expressed his disappointment at Mancini's departure.
"City fans are particularly upset, not just with the manner in which this has been dealt with, but also the day that he has been sacked," he said.
"The 13th of May should be a day that is remembered for lots of fantastic reasons, including winning the Premier League for the first time in 44 years, and now it has been associated with the sacking of our second most successful manager ever."
Assistant Brian Kidd will take charge for the final two games of the season - against Reading on Tuesday and Norwich on Sunday - as well as the summer tour to the United States.
Malaga's Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini has been strongly tipped to replace Mancini.
After Saturday's shock FA Cup final defeat by Wigan, Mancini criticised City for failing to publicly deny media reports identifying former Real Madrid coach Pellegrini as his likely replacement.
Former Tranmere trainee McGurk joins Shaun Derry's side after just one year of a two-year deal at Fratton Park.
The 27-year-old joined Pompey last summer after helping Burton win the League Two title and scored six goals in 36 games last campaign.
However, following Pompey's play-off semi-final defeat by Plymouth Argyle, McGurk was placed on the transfer list.

The Newlyn-based vessel reported taking on water on Friday afternoon.
A search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose was scrambled but stood down when the RNLI's Sennen Cove Lifeboat towed the vessel to shore.
Large salvage water pumps were used to get the situation under control. The outcome "could have been very nasty," the UK coastguard said.
Brian Simpson, a spokesman for the Sennen Cove Lifeboat, described it as a "serious situation" and said the boat had a "bad leak."
"They they could have lost their lives had the lifeboat not got there quickly or had they been further out at sea," he said.
TAS Racing confirmed on Wednesday that Martin and William Dunlop will ride for them in next year's roads campaign, including the TT and North West 200.
The team will be the German manufacturers' official representatives at all international road races.
"It's a new bike and I've never ridden it before, but we all know its pedigree," said 33-year-old Martin.
The Grimsby racer had contemplated retirement before agreeing the new deal and he added: "I'll always give it my all and to be with a quality manufacturer like BMW is mega."
The team's schedule will also include the Ulster Grand Prix, plus selected national races.
Dunlop said: "We have a top team and I'm happy to be working with Guy again at the TT, where I think together we can be even stronger with this exciting new package."
The Moneymore-based team ended a 14-year association with Suzuki to team up with the German manufacturer.
And manager Hector Neill said it was a "great honour" to be chosen to spearhead BMW Motorrad's campaign.
Martin achieved two podiums at the 2014 TT, while Dunlop was running in a podium place in the Senior before crashing on the third lap.
But how a business responds when things go wrong can mean the difference between a swift resolution and making the problem a whole lot worse.
After rigging its vehicles to cheat pollution tests, VW has seen billions wiped off its market value and its reputation left in tatters.
To its credit, say public relations professionals, the former chief executive Martin Winterkorn said sorry quickly and stepped down.
But a lack of consistent messaging on social media and a failure to reassure customers quickly has done the firm few favours.
"A few weeks into the crisis and a lot of customers are still confused," says Dave Mason of Mentor Training, a consultancy that specialises in crisis communications.
"We are still only getting some reassurance it won't cost us to fix the issue."
Of course, history is littered with corporate crises, and yet firms all too often fail to learn from each other's mistakes. So how should they best prepare for the worst?
According to Rod Clayton, vice president of crisis at Weber Shandwick, they should start with some proper contingency planning.
"Companies are often quite well prepared operationally for emergencies - if something blows up they know what to do - but they don't know what do when the blow-up is more metaphorical or legal because they don't have robust communications plans in place.
"And even when they do, sometimes they haven't actually tested those plans or run simulation exercises," he says.
Rebecca Gudgeon, a managing director at Grayling, says it is "blatantly obvious" this is where VW went wrong.
"If you're a car company or train operator you are responsible for public safety, and so you are expected to have a plan in place if something goes wrong.
"But VW just looks like it's in disarray, which makes it even harder for consumers and regulators to trust them."
Malaysia Airlines was similarly caught on the hop following the tragic disappearance of Flight MH370 last year.
Chinese state media criticised it for waiting "almost 13 hours" after losing contact with the plane to hold a press conference.
And relatives were outraged by the lack of transparency and communications they received from the airline about the missing passengers in subsequent days.
When the firm finally told them to assume "beyond doubt" no one had survived, it did so in a text message.
According to Mr Mason, it is vital that a chief executive - not their communications team or more junior members of staff - takes ownership of a crisis and speaks to the press.
He adds they should always start by expressing care for those affected, and then explain how they plan to solve the problem.
"Many chief executives start by trying to reassure people their company can be trusted, and that's a huge mistake," he says.
Take Eileen Downey, a manager at Britannia Hotels, who appeared on the BBC's consumer affairs programme Watchdog in 2011, following criticism of Pontins holiday parks.
The show had received more than 100 complaints over issues such as stains on bedding and mould in apartments.
But Ms Downey went on the defensive arguing that "99.9%" of Pontins apartments were of a high quality, and refused to say sorry.
"It was a master class in how not to deliver the message that you care about your customers," Mr Mason says.
Even when companies do say sorry they can make a mess of it, as Thomas Cook showed this year.
In May, the tour operator finally apologised to the parents of two children who died of carbon monoxide poisoning at one of its holiday apartments in 2006. But this was only after an inquest found it liable.
Chief executive Peter Fankhauser later said delaying the apology was his "biggest mistake".
But Weber Shandwick's Mr Clayton has some sympathy with companies expected to show public remorse.
"People often underestimate what a challenge it is to communicate very quickly about something very complicated when you don't know enough about what happened, and when there could be a lot of implications in what you say.
"The lawyers may tell you to say nothing about something - but if you end up being excessively conservative you can end up winning in the courtroom and losing all of your customers."
Ms Gudgeon believes VW can restore its reputation, just as carmakers Toyota and Lexus have survived their own scandals.
But she says it will take a huge amount of "investment and engagement" as well as a rethink of where it stands in the car market.
"Are they going to be a company that absolutely plays whiter than white and takes climate change very seriously, or are they going to be one that trades on performance and price? I don't know if there is any middle ground for VW to own."
That said, popular brands can be surprisingly resilient to crises.
Apple faced a backlash last year when it added the U2 album, Songs of Innocence, to 500 million iTunes users' libraries without their consent. But the company's sales have continued to rise, and the album has become one of the most successful of all time.
Mr Mason adds the public are often willing to forgive if a company "says sorry and moves on". That is as long as they demonstrate they have genuinely learned their lesson.
After the Bangladeshi clothes factory Rana Plaza collapsed in 2013, killing 1,134 people, a number of fashion companies that used the facility came under attack.
But since then, companies including H&M and Primark have ploughed millions of pounds into improving safety across their supply chains, and duly received praise for it. Late-to-donate brands faced vocal protests conversely.
"Ultimately, if there is a problem that needs fixing, people will judge you more on what you did about the situation than what the situation originally was," says Mr Clayton.
"And if you deal with an issue well then ultimately you get credit for that."
British Transport Police said officers were called to the collision at about 12:30 BST at Roudham, near Thetford.
They said the tractor driver has been taken to Norfolk and Norwich hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
The train driver is also being treated in hospital for a non-serious injury, thought to be to his hand.
The East of England Ambulance Service said it treated 10 people at the scene.
Three people were taken to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds with minor injuries.
Norfolk Fire Service also attended.
There were 135 passengers on board the Abellio Greater Anglia train, which was travelling from Norwich to Cambridge.
A company spokesman said the train was not derailed in the crash.
The road has been closed and train services between Norwich and Cambridge have been suspended.
A joint investigation has been launched by the British Transport Police and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.
The Gloucester back-rower played every minute of the series in the absence of injured Ospreys flanker Dan Lydiate.
"I've had a bit of time off and I've thought about what I have to do to compete at the highest level," he said.
"The first game was a big shock, it shows you the pace that the southern hemisphere teams - well, especially New Zealand teams - can play at."
Having started in only one of his first five international appearances, Moriarty hopes his performances in New Zealand will lead to more starts for Wales.
"The experience has made me a bit more of a mature player I think," Moriarty told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"I'll definitely be able to handle myself a lot better on the pitch with different situations and different teams I come up against so hopefully it will help.
"It was nice to get the three 80 minutes in New Zealand and hopefully I've done enough to make the coaches think when everyone is fit 'Ross, is he ready to play every game for us'."
Wales' next game is against Australia in Cardiff on 5 November.
With 2013 British and Irish Lion Lydiate on the mend after the double injury which ruled him out of the summer tour, Wales coach Warren Gatland will have more back row resources at his disposal for the autumn internationals.
But Moriarty believes the New Zealand experience will stand him in good stead when it comes to selection.
"We probably didn't achieve too much as we didn't win a game in New Zealand," he said.
"But it was obviously good on a personal level to be able to play against the All Blacks and test myself against the best and hopefully it's made me a better player."
A new engine fitted to the Spaniard's McLaren for first practice on Friday developed a water leak and Honda decided to replace the whole unit.
As that means he will be using a sixth example of all the six constituent parts of the engine, it will incur a 35-place penalty and relegation to the back of the grid.
Alonso, 35, becomes the third driver to land a penalty for using more than the permitted number of engine parts at this race.
World championship leader Lewis Hamilton has already been handed a 30-place penalty for using his sixth turbo and MGU-H in the first session, and is expected to earn another one when a further new engine is fitted for the second session.
Mercedes are taking all the necessary penalties in one go for giving Hamilton the engine parts he needs to finish the season and may yet take a third engine ahead of final practice on Saturday.
And Sauber's Marcus Ericsson will receive a 10-place grid drop for using his sixth turbo. The driver with the highest number of penalties will be the one who starts last on the grid on Sunday, although one of them may choose to start from the pit lane.
The new engine fitted to Alonso's car includes the major development upgrade Honda has introduced for this race.
This includes improvements to the internal combustion engine, turbo and compressor which Honda say should amount to a lap-time improvement of about 0.2 seconds.
The idea was proposed in May but investigations revealed it would lead to a drop in on-track overtaking and too little variation in strategies.
It was dropped at a meeting of the strategy group of leading teams and officials on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is pushing to impose an engine freeze in a bid to make racing more competitive.
The 84-year-old's proposal is to impose an upper limit on the performance of engines and allow manufacturers who are not yet at that level to develop until they meet it.
The idea is to give Renault and Honda, who are lagging behind at the moment, the chance to catch up with Mercedes and Ferrari.
Mercedes are pushing against the idea.
These were just two of the issues to emerge from the strategy group meeting on Wednesday at which bosses have agreed to reduce driver aids so the role of the driver is enhanced in F1.
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "The racing drivers are the main cast of the show, so let's put more responsibility back to the racing driver.
"We want more variability and less predictability. In order to achieve that, maybe there should be less scientific approach to racing, and more the race driver responsible for his racing."
Some changes on this front are planned for as soon as the Belgian Grand Prix on 21-23 August.
"What is feasible for Spa we will do to reduce to the minimum," Wolff said. "Whatever is not feasible we will do properly for 2016."
By next year, information such as tyre pressures and temperatures and brake condition will be available to the driver on his dashboard but not fed to him by the team.
Bosses also discussed ways of changing the format of race weekends, among them the possibility of a shorter race on a Saturday in addition to the main grand prix on a Sunday.
Ecclestone is said not to be in favour of introducing a second race for all the field, but one idea that could be pursued is a race for third cars and junior drivers, with the best allowed to then take part in the grand prix on Sunday.
The 52-year-old shot a six-under-par 65 to sit alongside four other players, including American defending champion Lexi Thompson.
Davies has not won an event on the LPGA Tour since 2001.
Spain's Carlota Ciganda, See Young Kim of South Korea and South African Paula Reto are also six under par.
Former world number one Davies has fallen to 275th in the rankings and has not finished higher than 54th in an event this year.
She was three under after eight holes and, though she dropped a shot just before the turn, four more birdies on the back nine left her well placed.
Thompson, who started at the 10th, had nine pars in her opening nine holes before an eagle at the par-five first, three successive birdies from the third and another at the eighth.
World number one Lydia Ko is one of seven players on four under.
Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP or Common Man's Party) has seen many twists and turns in it's short history
The party was born out of an anti-corruption movement that swept India in 2011, and made a spectacular debut in Delhi assembly elections in 2013.
Mr Kejriwal became the chief minister of Delhi and the media at the time had termed this "common man's rise" to power as the "new dawn in Indian politics".
But he quit from the post after serving 49 days in office, disappointing many of his followers and media commentators. The party went on to lose badly in the 2014 general elections.
He was written off and the party disappeared from the front pages of Indian newspapers.
But Mr Kejriwal continued working in Delhi and surprised many political pundits by winning 67 out of 70 seats in the fresh polls for the Delhi assembly in February this year.
He returned to front pages and social media once again hailed him as a crusader against corruption.
But a month later, the story is very different.
Papers and TV channels have been reporting the infighting in the AAP, often with details leaked by different factions in the party.
On Saturday, the AAP sacked its founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the National Executive - the party's top decision-making body.
"Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan tried to defeat AAP in Delhi polls. Prashant Bhushan betrayed my trust, cannot work with him," the NDTV website quotes Mr Kejriwal as saying.
The Delhi chief minister gave an emotional speech to his followers before the duo were sacked from their key positions in the party.
Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav rejected their colleague's allegations, saying the AAP has forgotten its basic idea of upholding democracy within the party.
"He has displayed today that is that he is willing to use his dictatorial powers to ruthlessly stifle dissent and ruthlessly stop any discussion or opposition to what he wants," Mr Bhushan said.
Papers say the people of Delhi voted the AAP into power with high hopes of clean governance and fast development.
For many, Delhi is losing its battle against pollution, traffic congestion and corruption because top leaders of the ruling party are busy dealing with "personal issues".
The Asian Age says the AAP "has presented an unprepossessing sight in the past month".
"The AAP today is a house divided against itself in a manner that just did not seem thinkable in the first flush of its formation," it says.
The paper finds faults in Mr Kejriwal and his inability to keep the party together.
"Mr Kejriwal was the charismatic figure around whom everyone coalesced for a time and swept to a famous victory. But his severe limitations have been exposed. The language he has used for senior colleagues, and the tactics he has shown himself capable of in his drive to power and then staying put, mark him out as no different from the clever politicians of the older parties who are widely disdained," it adds.
For The Times of India, the "fracas has exposed the lack of internal cohesion within a party that lacks a well defined ideological glue to hold it together".
"Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan should have recognised that Mr Kejriwal was the leader with the mass connect and backed off from a public confrontation, rather than put on an appearance of misplaced martyrdom. With neither side willing to compromise, a credibility loss and break-up became inevitable," it says.
And finally, papers praise Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal for "breaking a jinx" to win the India Open badminton championship in Delhi on Sunday, The Hindu reports.
Saina, who is currently the top woman player in the world, defeated Thai shuttler and former champion Ratchanok Intanon.
"Saina's previous-best performance in five previous appearances since 2011 was the quarterfinal finish last year," the paper reports.
Meanwhile, Indian shuttler K Srikanth defeated Denmark's Viktor Axelsen to win the men's singles at the tournament.

Darren Turk, 54, hanged himself while on trial accused of 16 offences against boys at Frewen College in Northiam, East Sussex, between 1996 and 2002.
He was found guilty on 10 counts and was acquitted on six.
His mother Jasmine Botting has maintained his innocence and hopes next week's hearing will clear his name.
"I know for a fact my son is innocent," she said.
"All I would like to think is that this hearing will go some way towards clearing his name," the 76-year-old, from Etchingham, said.
Live: More news from Sussex
The judicial review follows criticism from Turk's family that the judge at his trial at Lewes Crown Court allowed jurors to return verdicts after he died.
It is believed to be the first time a dead man has been convicted of a crime in England.
At an inquest in January, a coroner heard Turk had been prescribed anti-depressants and had left suicide notes.
His body was found by his stepfather at his home in Fontridge Lane, Etchingham, on 16 June.
Unmarried Turk was a member of care staff and later head of care at the boarding school, but was not a teacher.
Farren's family want to raise around £25,000 which would enable him to travel to a cancer centre in Germany.
In his most recent operation, surgeons removed over 80% of Farren's tumour but the 33-year-old's speech and mobility have been affected.
A biopsy after the surgery indicated that the tumour was highly aggressive.
The ex-Derry City striker turned 33 on Friday and a statement from his family said his former team-mates Kevin McHugh, Ruaidhri Higgins and Ciaran Martyn would be leading a number of fund-raising activities in the coming weeks.
"The six-week treatment programme is his best chance of saving or at least prolonging his life," added the Farren family's statement.
"Treatment will cost approximately €30,000. This is the one goal with which Mark needs our help, any contribution is greatly appreciated."
On Friday night, Farren's former Derry City team-mate and current Republic of Ireland international James McClean was reported to have pledged £1,000 for the fund.
Donegal man Farren was named the League of Ireland players' player of the year in 2005 and went on to become Derry's record goal-scorer in 2012 before joining Glenavon in 2013.
He was initially diagnosed with a benign brain tumour in December 2008 but continued to play on for Derry City until October 2009.
After undergoing surgery, Farren returned to Derry City colours in the summer of the 2011 and broke the club's scoring record a year later shortly before signing for Glenavon.
Farren was named the Irish League's player of the month in April 2013 but had to stop playing later that year in order to undergo more surgery. | Taiwan's imprisoned former President Chen Shui-bian has tried to take his own life, the justice ministry says.

The Military Aviation Authority (MAA) said a crash between a Typhoon and a commercial jet was "improbable" but could cause "substantial loss of life".
Collision avoidance systems should be installed "with full haste", it said.
The Ministry of Defence said programmes to fit the systems had begun.
The MAA's advice follows a critical report issued last year into a mid-air collision between two RAF Tornados over the Moray Firth, off the coast of Caithness.
Three men were killed and another seriously injured in the incident in 2012.
Accident investigators concluded that the lack of a collision warning system onboard had contributed to the accident.
The MAA's annual air safety report published on Wednesday praised "good progress" by the MoD overall, but said failure to upgrade safety equipment on Typhoons was "unsustainable".
The director general of the MAA, Air Marshal Richard Garwood, said anti-collision software should also be fitted to the new F35 fighter.
AM Garwood said there were "well documented failings over the fitment of an airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) to Tornado GR4".
He added: "In the worst case, which is judged improbable but catastrophic, a Typhoon colliding with commercial air traffic could result in severe consequences for the MoD because of the likely substantial third party loss of life."
Such a crash, he warned, could result in more than 50 deaths, and "would have adverse repercussions for the institution responsible, in this case the government of the day".
AM Garwood said: "Ultimately, the Typhoon will be in service for many years, and if the MoD elects not to fit an ACAS, the decision will need to be well documented and the risk held at the highest levels of defence."
The MoD said a collision avoidance system was being fitted to the Tornado GR4, the type of aircraft involved in the 2012 crash.
Work was also under way to have a system developed for Typhoons, the MoD said.
It added that "further technologies" and "planned upgrades" were proposed for the new F35 fighter.
An MoD spokesman said: "The department has welcomed the MAA's report, and is acting upon its comments and recommendations.
"Air safety is at the core of all our aviation activity and we take very seriously our obligations to our people and the wider community to ensure that our activities are both as safe as reasonably practicable and comply with relevant policy and legislation."
SNP Westminster leader and Defence spokesperson, Angus Robertson MP - whose constituency includes RAF Lossiemouth, home of Tornados and now Typhoons said: "This is a hugely damning report for the MoD.
"Twenty years after it was proven and recommended that these systems would save lives they remain to this day uninstalled.
"It is clear that the MoD with its cavalier approach to safety has learned no lessons as it has not even made the systems mandatory on new fast jets it acquires, while it drags its feet installing them on the ones they use already."
In 2012 the chief executive of one of Britain's oldest High Street retailers admitted that Marks & Spencer could have sold more of the fashion item of the moment, if only if it had more supply.
In retail, that's like admitting that you could have sold more tights or bananas or tables if only the staff had remembered to open the shops at the right time every morning.
Never, ever leave your customers looking at empty shelves when their purses and wallets are open.
The black ballet pump miss seemed to sum up everything that was wrong at M&S. Even when the store picked a fashion hit - and for many in the fashion world that simply wasn't regularly enough - it still managed to mess it up.
Total sales of UK clothing that year were down 0.3% (it also had problems with popular knitted jumpers). I remember talking to one board member at the time who expressed astonishment that he couldn't find a suit in his size at his local M&S.
For the last decade M&S has struggled with a host of legacy issues, of which an over-complicated supply line was just one.
Dowdy stores characterised by endless racks of "black slacks" had turned customers off, the quality of the clothing was described as "variable", it had too many sub-brands which confused shoppers, price-cutting promotions - which hit profit margins - were used like a drug to shore up faltering sales, a clunky online site (based on an old off-the-shelf Amazon model not built for the modern world of retail online) was an irritant, the success of food was not replicated across clothing or homeware.
Marks & Spencer was not clear on whether it was fighting new arrivals Primark and New Look - appealing to a younger, highly price sensitive audience - or John Lewis. It appeared to have forgotten that its average shopper was over 50, not 18.
On Wednesday, M&S will reveal its half-year results. Profits are likely to be down and sales flat or falling. But step back, those close to Mr Bolland insist, and there is evidence that the tanker is turning around.
For the first time allies of Mr Bolland say that the former chief executive of Morrisons now believes he has a shop close to his vision of what M&S should be.
Some of that vision was unveiled at a glittering launch of its new upmarket store in the Westfield shopping centre in west London on Monday night. There Mr Bolland rubbed shoulders with analysts and journalists, threw his arms wide and said - this is what we want to offer customers.
With a share price that has fallen 15% this year, M&S has tested investors' patience, a fact Mr Bolland alluded to at M&S's new "deli bar" at the heart of the shop.
"You have been patient with me because I always say step by step, and it will always be step by step," Mr Bolland said. He told me as we looked around the store that turning around a brand takes at least five years.
The new store has a nail bar, a baby department, men's tailoring and fewer clothing sub-brands. By the way, 70% of all menswear purchased in an M&S store is bought by women - they are the key shopper.
The brute amount of clothes on sale has been reduced by 10% to allow for more space, tackling the long term "black-slack" problem neatly summed up Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, director of marketing for M&S, who said that customers complained that "too much was being thrown at them".
The shop branding has also been revamped so that it matches the feel of food, online and television advertising. Remarkably, Mr Bolland admitted that this was the first time M&S could be seen as a "one channel" retailer in its 130-year history.
And, for investors - who might stomach falling like-for-like sales as long as profit margins are protected - there was one vital thing not on show. In the whole store there was not a whiff of promotion anywhere, no sale items, no screaming money-off offers and no two-for-one offers.
Customers, investors and analysts will be clearer now on where M&S is going - John Lewis at mid-market prices.
The problem is, the new M&S will only be wholly available in 70 of M&S's flagship stores. The rest of the 350 store estate will show "elements" of the new look but they are simply not large enough to handle the full makeover.
And this goes to the heart of M&S's relationship with its customers, who have complained that the most popular items - like last year's pink overcoat - are too limited "limited editions".
Jamie Merriman, retail analyst at Bernstein Research, often holds focus groups of M&S shoppers. They tell her that the standard of shops is too variable and that many are still cluttered and unappealing places to be.
"There is room for improvement," Ms Merriman says diplomatically. And improvement means expenditure, which can mean a weaker bottom line.
0.6% fall
in clothing sales 3 months to June 2014
1.7% rise
in food sales 3 months to June 2014
8.1% fall in trading on marksandspencer.com following re-launch
4.7% rise in international sales
150 Simply Food stores opening over next 3 years
What is that bottom line likely to look like? Three figures are vital tomorrow.
The first is clothing. In June M&S announced clothing like-for-like sales down by 0.6%, although there was a marked improvement in women's wear.
A warm autumn is likely to maintain that downward pressure, straining Mr Bolland's pledge that gross margins will improve.
Those close to him say that the results have to be considered in the light of a very tough market. Next and H&M have already reported slower sales growth.
Second comes food, a success story for M&S. Has the retailer maintained the momentum of the summer when it announced that sales were up 1.7%?
Third is online. M&S re-launched its website earlier this year, a move which saw a significant drop in activity as customers had to migrate and "re-join" the new website. To some criticism, M&S refused to spend money on marketing, saying it wanted time for the new site to bed in.
In June the retailer announced sales on marksandspencer.com were down a stomach lurching 8%. Investors will be looking for marked signs of improvement.
Mr Bolland took over M&S in 2009 and those around him say that turning around the retailer has been tougher than he thought. There have been mis-steps on range availability, chasing the wrong low-end markets and reaching for the drug of price-cutting promotions too readily.
Some analysts believe if M&S's sales figures do not turn markedly positive in the next 12 months, pressure will grow on the board to find a replacement at the top. Analysts have been saying that for a while, but Mr Bolland has so far done enough to keep the wolves from the door.
Mr Bolland insists that all the pieces are in place (although investors might argue it has taken him an awful long time to get there). It is now all about execution, he says, and ensuring that M&S can take advantage of an improving UK economy.
That, and making sure there are enough ballet pumps on the shelves. And pink coats on the racks.
Scot Peter Campsie, 48, was killed by two gunmen in Rio de Janeiro as he returned home to his family following a business meeting.
The operations manager for Diamond Offshore Drilling International was shot twice, the Aberdeen-based Press and Journal newspaper reported.
Mr Campsie, from Montrose, Angus, had worked in Brazil for 16 years.
He lived in the city of Macae, north of Rio, with his wife and 10-year-old daughter. He also has two sons.
It is understood Mr Campsie died at the scene of the attack in the late afternoon of Wednesday in the Niteroi municipality.
News of the shooting came as the government in Brazil deployed federal troops to tackle crime in Rio de Janeiro.
Nearly 3,000 Brazilian troops are being used to confront powerful drug gangs in key areas of the city ahead of the football World Cup.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We were made aware of the death of a British national in Brazil on 2 April.
"We stand ready to provide consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
People with mental illness and psychiatric disorders are excluded too.
Last year, the Canadian Supreme Court struck down a law banning doctors from helping someone die.
This bill, which is backed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, must now be studied by committee and then voted on by both House and Senate.
It seeks to protect "the conscience rights of medical practitioners", said Canadian Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.
Asked why foreigners would be excluded from the new legislation, she refused to answer.
"We have considered this question in the context of Canada and Canadians," she said at a press conference.
Cases brought on by the families of two deceased British Columbia women spurred last year's decision by the court to strike down the law.
The court said outlawing assisted suicide deprives people of dignity and autonomy. Prior to that, counselling, aiding or abetting suicide was illegal in Canada.
The Liberal government had four months to come up with a new law, a time period that was extended.
Last year Quebec's top court ruled that the province can allow terminally ill patients the right to die with medical help.
Currently, assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland, Germany, Albania, Colombia, Japan and in US states Washington, California , Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico and Montana.
What different countries say about assisted dying
More US states introduced aid-dying legislation last year, but only California's became law.
The move ordered by Governor Rick Snyder comes after recent tests found elevated blood-lead levels in children living in the city.
Old plumbing leaked lead into homes after the city switched water sources.
More than 30 Guardsmen will be in place by Friday in Flint, which has 99,000 people.
Mr Snyder has described the situation as a "crisis" and declared an emergency last week.
The city switched its water source from the city of Detroit to the Flint River in 2014, in order to save money.
The water from the river leached lead off old plumbing, which then made its way into people's homes.
They have since switched back to Detroit's water.
In October, testing revealed increased lead levels in water supplies and in children's blood. Lead exposure can cause learning disabilities and behavioural problems in children.
According to the Mayo Clinic, young children are especially vulnerable, and exposure "can severely affect mental and physical development".
The clinic says that at high levels, lead poisoning can cause death.
A task force set up by the governor and the state auditor general have blamed the state's Department of Environmental Quality for not mandating that the city treat the water for corrosive elements and for downplaying residents' concerns.
The director of that agency resigned last month.
On Monday, the governor issued a directive that created a committee to work on long-term solutions for resolving the crisis and addressing health concerns.
On Tuesday, braving cold temperatures and 3ins (7.62cm) of snow, eight teams of volunteers fanned out across the city under the escort of state troopers and sheriff's deputies to deliver bottled water, filters and lead test kits.
The New York Times has reported that the National Guardsmen could hit the streets as early as Wednesday.
The paper said that the troops would take over distribution sites currently being manned by American Red Cross volunteers, allowing the volunteers to begin door-to-door operations.
Gains for energy and industrial companies failed to offset the losses, which spread to other sectors.
The Dow Jones fell 36.3 points, or 0.2%, to 21,235.6 points, while the wider S&P 500 index dropped 2.3 points, or 0.1%, to 2,429.3.
The tech-focused Nasdaq index fell 32.4 points, or 0.5%, to 6,175.4.
Apple fell 2.5% after Mizuho Securities cut its rating on the tech giant to "neutral" from "buy" - its second downgrade in a week.
Netflix dropped 4.2%, Amazon shed 1.4%, Alphabet dropped 0.9% and Facebook was down 0.8%.
Tech stocks have risen rapidly since April following strong results for many firms.
Neil Wilson at ETX Capital said the recent surge had left investors wondering "if there is anything left in the tank".
"It looks like it's just a pause that allows for some profit-taking before another push higher, but it certainly has the potential to rattle markets if it continues," he said.
Shares in McDonald's fell 2% after the fast food chain said it planned to hire 250,000 people, aiming in particular at younger workers via Snapchat.
Among the risers, General Electric added 3.6% after it said Jeff Immelt was retiring from the US industrial giant after 16 years as chairman and chief executive.
He will depart on 31 December and be replaced by John Flannery, the head of GE's healthcare division.
Farmers said the Welsh Government's regulations were too strict and too expensive, and would be "disastrous" for agricultural shows.
Farmers would have to register a quarantine unit (QU) on their farm in order to move livestock on and off, and avoid six-day standstill rules.
The government said the system was developed with the farming industry.
Currently, if farmers bring new stock on to their farm, the whole farm is subject to a six-day lockdown, where no animals can be moved off.
But there are exemptions for seasonal events like agricultural shows.
A field or a shed separated from other livestock, known as an approved isolation unit, can be used to avoid the rules.
But these isolation units cannot be used under the new rules and farmers must apply and pay for the new quarantine units.
The Welsh Government said it was delaying implementation until after the show season, following representations from unions and industry bodies.
Total's Elgin platform, 150 miles east of Aberdeen, was evacuated when the gas began leaking in March 2012.
The leak was stopped by pumping heavy mud into the well, followed by the use of cement plugs.
The case is due to call at Aberdeen Sheriff Court next week under offshore installations regulations.
The watercolour, attributed to Queen Victoria's favourite artist Sir Edwin Landseer, is being sold by JP Humbert, of Whittlebury, Northamptonshire.
Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert decided to pull the picture from an auction in 2012 so more research could be done.
Mr Humbert said he believed the picture to be of "national importance".
If the painting is of the Brontes it will be only the second known group portrait of the literary sisters in existence - the other is in the National Portrait Gallery.
Mr Humbert said: "Interesting new evidence has now come to light that a black bracelet featured in the painting worn by Anne Bronte is known to now be in the Bronte Parsonage Museum Collection.
"This link to a known museum artefact supports the other well-documented facts that this painting is a bridge between the literary and art worlds and is indeed a painting of national importance."
He said the Brontes and Landseer are known to have met when he visited the area in the 1830s.
Leading Landseer authority Richard Ormond OBE has concluded it "undoubtedly related" to a pastel drawing thought to be of the Brontes made two years earlier by Landseer, an image of which is held on file at the National Portrait Gallery.
Mr Humbert said the portrait was acquired by mistake when the current owner purchased a painting from an auction house in the South West which could not be found and the Bronte painting was produced in lieu.
The portrait is being offered "without reserve" in a timed online-only auction which finishes on Sunday. Already £9,850 has been bid for the work.
Landseer was a popular Victorian painter best known for his animal portraits and designing the bronze lions in Trafalgar Square in London.
The Bronte family moved to Haworth, West Yorkshire, in 1820 where the Reverend Patrick Bronte was appointed Curate of Haworth.
They lived at the Haworth Parsonage from 1820 to 1861, which is now the Bronte Parsonage Museum.
Fraser Gibbon, 20, of Cuminestown, is thought to have been working by the side of the B9170 road near the village when he was struck by a car.
Although police officers and the ambulance service attended the scene, they were unable to save him.
His relatives described him as "a gentle giant" and said his death left "a massive hole" in their lives.
A statement issued through Police Scotland said: "Fraser was ripped from our lives and has left a massive hole that can never be filled. Fraser was described by all who knew him as a gentle giant, very much a family person who would do anything for anyone."
They added that he was a "proud father, a doting uncle to two nieces and brother to three sisters who all loved him dearly.
"He was the precious and deeply loved only son of Anne and Donald, and has been taken from us far too soon.
"We would also like to offer sincere thanks to all who assisted at the scene."
Talisman Sinopec had not been given approval to delay 159 of the orders on the Clyde platform.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out an inspection last November.
The company has been given until the end of May to comply.
The inspector's report said the operators had failed to properly implement its procedures and had failed to effectively control its preventative and protective safety measures.
A Talisman Sinopec spokesperson said: "We have made substantial progress in addressing the issues raised by the HSE and are well ahead of the target of complying with the terms of the Notice by the deadline of May 2015.
"The safe operation of all TSEUK sites is our number one priority.
"The facility remains fully operational and the safety of all those on-board is not compromised by the matter identified by the HSE."
WWF Scotland has expressed concern that a number of work orders were able to build up on the Clyde platform.
The charity's director Lang Banks said: "It's good to know that the HSE is doing its job well. However, it's extremely worrying to learn that Talisman Sinopec has allowed such a large list of safety critical work orders to build up on this one platform.
"It's critical that regulators do not allow oil and gas operators to use the current difficulties being faced by the industry as an excuse to cut corners when it comes to protecting people or the environment."
Earlier this week, Talisman announced plans for 300 job losses from its North Sea operations.
It said 100 staff and 200 contractors would be affected, from a workforce of about 3,000.
The company said it needed to take appropriate action to offset the declining oil price and increasing operating costs.
BP, Shell, Chevron and Conoco Phillips have all announced reductions to their workforces recently.
Women and children were among those killed when the vessel was hit near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, the IOM said.
Images from the scene showed a boat strewn with bodies.
In a separate incident on Friday, at least 22 people died in an attack on a mosque inside a military base in Yemen.
Two missiles were fired at the mosque, in the Kofal military camp west of Marib, officials said.
Among the dead on the boat were Somali refugees carrying identity documents issued by UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency.
About 80 survivors were rescued and taken to hospital, according to the IOM. It is also not known where the boat was travelling to and from.
It remains unclear who carried out the attack. A Yemeni trafficker who survived the attack told the Associated Press that the boat was fired at by a helicopter gunship and a military vessel.
Saudi Arabia, which is leading a US-backed coalition in the war in Yemen, has US-built Apache helicopter gunships. The coalition, which in general controls Yemen's airspace, has not commented on the incident.
A port official told AFP that dozens of Somalis who survived, as well as three Yemeni traffickers, were taken to the city's prison.
Eric Christopher Wyss, of the International Committee of the Red Cross, described the scene at the port as "gruesome and heartbreaking".
"I saw many men, women and children either killed or horribly wounded," he said. "Survivors told us that many of the passengers were refugees from Somalia or Yemen, fleeing conflict."
Despite a humanitarian crisis which has brought Yemen to the brink of famine, migrants from Africa continue to travel to the war-torn country.
UNHCR officials said the people in the boat may have been heading towards Sudan or other countries to the north to escape deteriorating conditions in Yemen.
Somalia is also currently at risk of famine, according to the UN, with 2.9m facing food insecurity - following decades of civil war and a previous famine in 2011.
Hindu Council UK said it was "very comfortable" with the description. The Muslim Council of Britain said the UK was a largely Christian country.
He said the UK must be "more confident" about its Christianity, a view Downing Street says he has stated before.
It comes after a group of public figures warned the PM risked causing "alienation" with his comments.
Writing for the Church Times earlier this month, Mr Cameron said: "Crucially, the Christian values of responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility, and love are shared by people of every faith and none - and we should be confident in standing up to defend them."
This did not mean "doing down" other religions, he said.
The prime minister also spoke of his faith in his Easter message, saying he found "peace" in Christianity.
Public figures, including authors Sir Terry Pratchett and Philip Pullman - in an open letter published in Monday's Daily Telegraph - said: "We object to his characterisation of Britain as a 'Christian country' and the negative consequences for politics and society that this engenders.
"Apart from in the narrow constitutional sense that we continue to have an established Church, Britain is not a 'Christian country'.
"Constantly to claim otherwise fosters alienation and division in our society."
Other signatories - led by British Humanist Association president Prof Jim Al-Khalili, president of the British Humanist Association - include performer Tim Minchin, journalist Polly Toynbee and philosopher AC Grayling.
Andrew Copson, chief executive of the British Humanist Association, told the BBC: "I think it's a bit off to try and say we're a Christian country which is hospitable to others, instead of to try and reflect the truth, which is that we're a country with a great plurality of identities."
Muslim Council of Britain secretary general Farooq Murad said nobody could deny the UK remained a largely Christian country with "deep historical and structural links" to Christianity.
"A sense of the sacred is to be cherished", he said, adding the UK would be stronger by "recognising and celebrating" people of multiple faiths and of no faith "living in harmony".
Anil Bhanot, managing director of Hindu Council UK, said he was "very comfortable" with the UK being described as a Christian country, adding many Hindu people celebrated Christmas and Easter.
"People can secularise those traditions but it doesn't take away from the fact that the country was based in Christian traditions," he said.
Christina Rees, a member of the General Synod, the highest governing body of the Church of England, said she was glad Mr Cameron had the "confidence" to talk about his faith.
The UK had "historically and culturally" been a Christian country for "many hundreds of years", she added.
Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was "not factually accurate" to call Britain a Christian country.
He said a YouGov poll found 65% of people questioned described themselves as "not religious", while 29% said they were. He said those people would have come from a range of faiths - not just Christianity.
His claims come after figures released by the ONS following the 2011 census found that, despite a drop of four million in the number of people who said they were Christians in England and Wales from 2001, 59% of residents still described themselves as Christian.
A Downing Street spokeswoman made reference to a 2011 speech in which Mr Cameron said the UK was a Christian country "and we should not be afraid to say so".
"He has said on many occasions that he is incredibly proud that Britain is home to many different faith communities, who do so much to make the UK a stronger country," she added.
After 10 years in power and three election wins, President Correa will not be running again, so change at the top is inevitable.
When he was first elected in 2007, Mr Correa was one of a group of left-wing leaders in power in Latin America, including Argentina's Nestor Kirchner, Bolivia's Evo Morales, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Cuba's Raul Castro, Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
Some observers spoke of a "pink tide" sweeping across the continent.
A decade on, Argentina and Brazil are led by conservative presidents, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro faces a hostile legislative and Evo Morales is on his last term after Bolivians rejected a proposal to change the constitution to allow him to run again.
Will Ecuadoreans follow the lead of Argentines and Peruvians and turn their backs on left-wing politics and favour a conservative candidate?
Or will they favour the man who served as Mr Correa's vice-president?
With Mr Correa not running again, his governing leftist Alianza PAIS (Country Alliance) party threw its weight behind former vice-president Lenin Moreno.
Despite having been a key figure in Mr Correa's cabinet between 2007-2013, Mr Moreno has sought to differentiate himself from the outgoing leader.
Challenged when he disagreed with the president about tax policies, Mr Moreno simply stated: "The President has the right to think differently. Each one decides in his own government."
Observers say the 63-year-old's style is less confrontational than that of Mr Correa and they suspect Mr Moreno may try to jettison some aspects of his predecessor's socialist policies.
As vice-president, Mr Moreno, who became paraplegic after being shot in the back in 1998, set out to improve the rights of people with disabilities.
Not only did he give motivational talks, he also published books on humour and happiness with titles proclaiming: "Being Happy is Easy and Fun".
Most recently, he served as UN Special Envoy on Disability and Accessibility.
Among his main campaign promises are increasing employment opportunities and ensuring that all Ecuadoreans have the chance to go on to higher education.
Most polls suggest Mr Moreno is likely to get a majority of the votes on 19 February, but not the 40% needed to win outright in the first round.
His main rival is centre-right businessman and former presidential candidate Guillermo Lasso.
The 61-year-old is running for the Creando Oportunidades (Creating Opportunities) party.
A banker, Mr Lasso wants to create jobs by promoting foreign investment and has promised to cut taxes for big companies.
He also has plans to make Ecuador's central bank independent of the government. The youngest of 11 children, he says he wants to "create an Ecuador with opportunities for all".
Hot on his heels in the polls is Christian-Socialist candidate Cynthia Viteri.
The 51-year-old lawyer has also pledged to cut taxes to promote job creation. She wants to slash government spending by at least $700m (£560m) on existing programmes she calls "luxuries".
If whoever wins the first round on 19 February does not get 40% or more of the vote, a run-off will be held on 2 April.
The eventual winner of the election will be sworn in to a four-year term in May.
Economic recovery is likely to be a top priority for Ecuador. The oil-exporting country has suffered from a drop in international oil prices and has seen its GDP contract 1.7% in 2016.
Corruption is another major problem with officials from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht recently revealing that they paid close to $35.5m in bribes to Ecuadorean officials in exchange for contracts.
Officials of Mr Correa's government, including his former energy minister Jorge Pareja, are also under investigation over the granting of contracts by state-owned oil company Petroecuador.
In foreign policy, the new president will have to deal with US President Donald Trump and his potentially more protectionist economic policies.
He or she will also have to adapt to a shift of alliances in the region, following the departure from power of left-wing governments in Argentina, Brazil and Peru over the last two years.
Rafael Correa was elected in 2007 on a promise of bringing radical social and political reforms to Ecuador.
During his tenure, Mr Correa increased government spending on social programmes and looked to diversify Ecuador's trade and political relationships.
He forged close ties with the left-wing regional group Alba, which includes Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela among others.
He also moved Ecuador much closer economically to China, which is now one of the country's major creditors and trade partners.
Mr Correa has been credited with reducing poverty until 2014, when the oil price slump hit government revenue and its ability to finance poverty reduction programmes.
But recent corruption scandals and Mr Correa's frequent clashes with the media have produced some disillusionment.
One poll suggests 70% of Ecuadoreans want "important changes" to be made.
Voting is mandatory and more than 12 million people are entitled to vote for the president, the vice-president and also 137 seats in the legislature.

Bartra, 26, had surgery on his right hand and wrist after the blast before a Champions League tie with Monaco.
He played 90 minutes as Dortmund edged Werder Bremen 4-3 to beat Hoffenheim to third place in the Bundesliga.
Hamburg avoided a relegation play-off with a late win over Wolfsburg.
Spain centre-back Bartra, who joined Dortmund from Barcelona last June, was the only player to receive serious injuries in the blast on April 11.
Three devices containing pieces of metal exploded shortly after Dortmund left their hotel to travel to the home leg of their quarter-final tie against the Ligue 1 side.
Police in Germany have charged a man suspected of being behind the attack. Prosecutors say he was a market trader hoping to make money if the price of shares in the team fell.
Dortmund started the final day of the Bundesliga season level on points with fourth-placed Hoffenheim, knowing a victory against eighth-placed Bremen would seal third because of their superior goal difference.
They secured the three points - but it required an 89th-minute penalty from top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to defeat an away side that had led twice.
Aubameyang, who also scored a spectacular volley to put Dortmund 2-1 ahead, was crowned the Bundesliga's top scorer after taking his tally to 31 goals for the season.
Marco Reus also netted twice as Bremen, who scored through Zlatko Junuzovic, Fin Bartels and Max Kruse, missed out on European qualification.
Hoffenheim drew 0-0 against Augsburg and will go forward to the Champions League play-offs in order to gain entry to the group stage.
Hamburg are the only club to have never been relegated from the Bundesliga since the league was founded in 1963 - and they made sure that run continued with a dramatic 2-1 win against relegation rivals Wolfsburg.
Hamburg started the final day of the season fourth bottom, knowing they had to beat Wolfsburg - the team directly above them - to avoid a two-legged play-off against the side that finishes third in Bundesliga II.
Wolfsburg took the lead on a tense afternoon when Robin Knoche headed in after 23 minutes, before Filip Kostic fired in Hamburg's equaliser nine minutes later.
The home side knew they needed a winner to survive and it eventually arrived when substitute Luca Waldschmidt - on his 21st birthday - kept them up with his first goal of the season.
It sparked ecstatic scenes in the Volksparkstadion, with thousands of Hamburg fans pouring onto the pitch to celebrate at the final whistle.

Dyfed-Powys Police called in the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team just before midnight on Friday, after the group of four bikers from Kent became lost.
The party was found at the Claerwen Reservoir, near Rhayader.
A helicopter evacuation had to be abandoned, with a boat needed to ferry the bikers across the reservoir.
The Brecon rescue team said their members had to struggle 4.5km (2.8 miles) over difficult moorland, before reaching the lost party at about 03:00 BST on Saturday morning.
Due to the remote nature of the location, their team was also joined by rescuers from the Longtown Mountain Rescue Team.
The motorcyclists were cold and exhausted when discovered, and one had a medical condition which meant they could not walk back to safety.
Poor weather saw a coastguard co-ordinated helicopter forced to return to Caernarfon in Gwynedd.
However, with the aid of a Mid and West Wales Fire Service boat from Aberystwyth, the party was finally taken across the reservoir to a 4x4 vehicle.
A Brecon rescue team spokesperson added that it was "another example of rescue services, mountain rescue, fires Service and police, working together to effect a rescue in difficult terrain".
Myles Bradbury, a paediatric haematologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, committed sexual offences against boys aged 8 to 17 between 2009 and 2013, Cambridge Crown Court heard.
The 41-year-old from Herringswell, Suffolk, pleaded guilty to 25 offences including sexual assault and the making of more than 16,000 indecent images.
He was bailed and is due to be sentenced at a later date.
As he left court, Bradbury told reporters "I'm so sorry" and refused to answer further questions.
The offences involved 18 complainants, prosecutor John Farmer said.
The court heard the blood cancer specialist had worked at the hospital for five years.
He was suspended after a complaint about his behaviour in November last year.
A spokesman for Addenbrooke's Hospital said Bradbury no longer worked for Cambridgeshire University Hospitals Trust.
In total he pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual assault and 13 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child.
Bradbury also admitted three counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, one count of voyeurism and two counts of making indecent images of a child.
Sources: General Medical Council, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
He pleaded not guilty to a count of sexual activity with a child and a count of sexual assault, which Judge Gareth Hawkesworth said would likely remain on file.
The judge said the doctor could expect a "substantial" custodial sentence and would have to sign the sex offenders register.
Addenbrooke's Hospital said it had contacted the families of the children it was aware of that Dr Bradbury saw. It has set up a helpline for anyone else affected by the case.
Dr Keith McNeil, its chief executive, said: "Our most abject and sincere apologies go out to any and all of our patients and their families who are affected by this in any way.
"There is a very ancient and sacred trust that exists between a doctor and his patients, and quite frankly, it sickens me to think that trust has been breached."
Chief nurse Ann-Marie Ingle, said: "His cold and calculating abuse of trust has deeply shocked us all, including staff who worked alongside him to care for these vulnerable and sick children.
"As soon as we were alerted, we took immediate action to suspend him from clinical practice."
Cambridgeshire Police said "there are likely to be more victims" and asked affected people to call the hospital's helpline.
Det Sgt Shane Fasey, said: "Bradbury's offences were an appalling breach of trust committed against vulnerable victims who had been placed in his care.
"The families believed the boys were in his safe hands but they were actually being abused by Bradbury, who carried out examinations purely for his own sexual gratification and with no medical justification whatsoever."
Shaymanonda Das was preparing for morning prayers at a temple in the south-western district of Jhenaidah when he was attacked.
Police said he was hacked on the neck several times with machetes.
More than 40 people have been killed in attacks blamed on Islamist militants in Bangladesh since February 2013.
That includes secular bloggers, academics, gay rights activists and members of religious minorities.
Who is behind the Bangladesh killings?
Hundreds arrested in Bangladesh crackdown
Is extremism on the rise in Bangladesh?
Police said the motive behind the latest attack was not clear.
But local police station chief inspector Hasan Hafizur Rahman told AFP news agency "the pattern of the killing is similar" to ones carried out by local Islamist militants.
Last month, a 70-year-old Hindu priest was hacked to death in a rice paddy field in the same district as Friday's attack.
The government says it has launched a drive against militants by arresting thousands of people.
Some of the killings have been claimed by so-called Islamic State or al-Qaeda linked groups.
However, the government has disputed these claims, and says IS does not have a presence in the country.
Instead, government members have blamed opposition parties and local Islamist groups. Bangladesh's home minister has suggested an Israeli link to the killings, describing an "international conspiracy" against Bangladesh.
Both the opposition and the Israeli government have denied any involvement - and Israel described the accusations as "utter drivel".
This week, Bangladeshi police charged seven people, including an opposition politician, over the murder of an Italian aid worker who was shot dead in Dhaka in late September.
They have written to all their local MPs asking how they should cut spending - whether they should lay off teaching staff, reduce school hours or close counselling services.
The government last month launched a new funding formula for England's schools to tackle "unfair" and "inconsistent" funding levels.
But about 300 head teachers, representing almost every state school in the authority, have written to local MPs and to parents to say that the overhaul has not resolved budget shortages.
"The proposals made under the new national funding formula do not provide a meaningful remedy," the head teachers have told MPs.
The West Sussex head teachers - who have previously taken a petition to Downing Street - have told MPs that "no matter how clearly we state our position or how reasonable our approach is, no improvements are made to either the financial or associated staffing crises".
They say that the national funding formula is "giving with one hand whilst taking away with two".
The West Sussex heads, who had complained of long-term underfunding, say they will still be among the worst-funded authorities in England.
The heads have put specific questions to MPs, including asking how their local schools should proceed with cuts.
The options for cuts include "staffing reductions, further increased class sizes, withdrawal of counselling and pastoral services, modified school hours, reduction in books, IT and equipment".
The heads ask MPs what happened to £500m announced as part of the abandoned plan for compulsory academy status for all schools in England.
They also ask about how during "chronic funding shortages" the Department for Education can afford to expand grammar schools and to open free schools.
Last month, Education Secretary Justine Greening revealed how the National Funding Formula would reallocate school budgets.
It was designed to remove inequalities that saw schools in different parts of the country, with similar intakes, receive different levels of per-pupil budget.
"We need a system that funds schools according to the needs of their pupils rather than their postcode, levelling the playing field," said Ms Greening.
But head teachers complained that reallocating the budget did not resolve the overall lack of funding, with school budgets not keeping up with rising costs.
An analysis last month from the National Audit Office said state schools in England would have to reduce spending by £3bn by 2019-20.
The Department for Education has said that the core school budget has been protected in real terms - and that funding for schools in 2016-17 is at record levels of over £40bn.
The department has argued that the new funding formula will provide a much fairer basis for allocating funds to schools and will give head teachers more certainty over their future budgets and long-term planning.
Superintendent Andy Parsons said there was no statistical evidence to compare attacks in Cologne on New Year's Eve to nights out in Birmingham.
Jess Phillips, Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, said women on the city's Broad Street were "baited and heckled".
Mr Parsons said it was "something we simply don't know is taking place".
The police commander for Central Birmingham said: "There are numerous opportunities and points at which people could report such conduct.
"And I think that's the important point - that we would urge people if they have been subjected to that to do so.
"The fact is we're not seeing that come forward."
More than 800 women reported being sexually assaulted or robbed during Cologne's New Year celebrations.
Latest figures from West Midlands Police show that, in the past 12 weeks, five serious sexual assaults have been reported in Broad Street.
Inspector Gareth Morris said: "Like any city centre we have issues linked to people out drinking, but the types of attacks reported in Germany are a million miles away from anything my team encounters in Birmingham."
Ms Phillips - who said she had not reported attacks and "learnt to live with it" - faced widespread criticism after her comments on Thursday's BBC Question Time.
She was speaking during a debate about how many refugees should be allowed into Britain, in which an audience member suggested events in Cologne - said to have been carried out by migrants - proved mass immigration did not work.
She told the audience: "A very similar situation to what happened in Cologne could be describing Broad Street in Birmingham every week, where women are baited and heckled."
Defending her comments, Ms Phillips told the Birmingham Mail: "Every woman I have spoken to this morning has said 'yes, I've had bad experiences'."
And she added: "I bet you if you were to look through the back catalogues of your newspaper, you could find incidents of people being dragged into taxis in every night spot in Birmingham."
Patrick O'Connell died in poverty in London in 1959, but his rich soccer history was recognised at Windsor Park on Tuesday.
The former Manchester United captain skippered Ireland to their first British Home Championship.
He coached extensively in Spain and led Real Betis to their only La Liga title.
The Patrick O'Connell Memorial Fund has been responsible for raising money for the bust which was made by Irish sculptor Joe Moran.
The group was previously instrumental in obtaining a memorial for O'Connell's grave in London that had been unmarked for more than 50 years.
Alan McLean from the fund said it was fitting the bust was unveiled at Windsor Park, where O'Connell inspired Ireland to a one-all draw with Scotland to claim their first British Home Championship in 1914, despite suffering a broken arm.
"I think it is another milestone in the story of remembering Patrick O'Connell as one of the greatest ever Irish soccer men," he said.
"I think the bronze bust is wonderful, Joe Moran has done a fantastic job.
"You not only have to produce the bust, but you have to capture the spirit and personality of the man and Joe has done that.
"I was blown away by how striking it was when I collected it at the foundry in Dublin."
When FC Barcelona almost folded in the 1930s, O'Connell, their manager, helped organise a money-spinning tour to Mexico and the US.
He was inducted in the Catalan club's hall of fame in December 2015.
The former Belfast Celtic player, who was dubbed 'Don Patricio', had joined FC Barcelona after a successful spell as coach of Real Betis Balompié.
During a four-year period, he masterminded the Seville side's promotion from the second division before securing their sole La Liga title in 1935.
Mr McLean said the bust would be presented to Real Betis ahead of their home game against Real Sociedad on 3 March.
"One of Patrick's greatest achievements was as manager of Real Betis when he coached them to their only La Liga title," he added.
"Real Betis have been very supportive and Fergus Dowd and myself from the fund as well as Patrick's grandson Michael O'Connell will present the bust on 3 March at their game against Real Sociedad.
"It means there is a lasting legacy in the stadium at Real Betis where he produced that huge success."
Kane made it five for the season just when 10-man Inverness CT looked like escaping with a draw.
The Highlanders' captain Gary Warren was sent off for two yellow cards in the space of five second-half minutes.
The second came when he took down Danny Swanson in the penalty box but David Wotherspoon's penalty was saved shortly before Kane's close-range winner.
Victory moves Tommy Wright's side above Dundee into fifth place and level on points with Ross County.
It was just reward for a much improved performance in the second half.
Illness rather than injury restricted the attacking options open to John Hughes as Miles Storey and Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo were sidelined with flu.
That denied the Caley Thistle manager his top scorer and the man whose late goal at Easter Road on Sunday booked the Scottish Cup holders a replay against Hibernian.
Former Cambridge United striker Liam Hughes was given a first start up front but it was Jordan Roberts who missed a great chance to give the visitors an early lead.
Liam Polworth's wickedly curling cross from the right was begging to be headed home only for Roberts to steer it the wrong side of the back post.
St Johnstone full-back Darnell Fisher flashed a 20-yard shot over while, at the other end, Iain Vigurs curled a free-kick on to the roof of the net.
The entertainment quotient increased after the interval with St Johnstone in particular showing greater intensity going forward.
Steven MacLean nearly set up Kane for a tap-in while Wotherspoon twice got into good positions only for some brilliant blocking from Caley Thistle defenders to avert the danger.
The pressure clearly unnerved Warren, who picked up two quick cautions that means missing the visit of Hamilton Academical on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams bailed the defender out when Wotherspoon stepped up to take the spot-kick that resulted from Warren's foul on Danny Swanson.
The Welshman dived to his right to pull of a terrific block and got a deserved break when the Saints midfielder sent the rebound wide.
But a composed piece of play by Fisher finally helped break the visitors' resistance as he picked out Kane at the back post to clip in the winner.
A controlled explosion was carried out on the device at the Crumlin Road junction with Brompton Park.
The PSNI are blaming dissident republicans for the bomb and said it could have caused "carnage".
Ch Supt Nigel Grimshaw said it was a "fairly substantial cylinder-type device" that was "designed to do one thing - kill".
"It was clearly placed in a position that was designed to attack police who may have been in the vicinity," he said.
"Without question, even at this stage, I am absolutely convinced it would have killed or seriously injured police had it detonated."
He said it was totally reckless to place the bomb in the area, but that had been compounded by "an absolute lack of information" to help police pinpoint where it was.
"These people have no regard for their own community," he said.
"I'm very grateful at this point in the evening that we're not dealing with severe casualties.
"We have shops to our right hand side, we have the Holy Cross monastery across the road - people would have been going about their normal business and could have been caught in an absolutely horrendous blast."
In a tweet, Chief Constable George Hamilton said: "Small minded people creating risk for communities as they attempt to kill police officers."
Officers carried out a number of searches on Friday after the alert began at about midnight.
North Belfast priest Fr Gary Donegan received a warning call on Thursday night.
He said: "It was literally one minute past 12 when I got the call, just a male voice stating that there was a device near the bookies.
"I asked for a codeword, there wasn't one forthcoming, and they said [the device was] at the top of Brompton Park."
Fr Donegan said he then cleared people from the area where he believed the bomb to be.
"All day there's been lockdown here until eventually the device was discovered this evening," he added.
"We've had the situation where public mass this evening, for the first time since 1869, was actually cancelled in Holy Cross church."
The late 14th/early 15th Century structure had suffered from rotting timbers and damage to the roof angels caused by death-watch beetles.
The year-long restoration, by the Churches Conservation Trust, was part-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The church is known for the "stunning angel roof", said the trust.
Crispin Truman, chief executive of the trust, said: "I couldn't be more proud of the partnership between the people of King's Lynn and The Churches Conservation Trust which has made the rescue of this internationally important building possible. The roof angels of St Nicholas' were in danger of being lost forever before the community mobilised to help us save the chapel.
"Thanks to funds raised locally and the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, St Nicholas' is now once again open for all to see in its full glory.
"As well as re-roofing of the building to preserve the incredible carved angels beneath it, the restoration work has included the installation of solar panels on the roof, and a state-of-the-art kitchen and toilets, which will help to breathe new life into the chapel."
Founded in about 1140, the chapel was re-built in the 14th and early 15th centuries from new wealth which came to the town from the Baltic maritime trade.
King's Lynn was once one of the most important ports in England, trading with the Baltic, northern Europe and beyond.
Dendrochronological analysis shows oak used in some of the woodwork tracery at the chapel is from trees felled about 600 years ago in Eastern Europe and imported to King's Lynn for use in the chapel.
A Chapel of Ease is in the parish of another church and was built to meet an expansion of a town for the convenience of parishioners.
Carl Sargeant said there was "no ambiguity" about a moratorium and Welsh government opposition to fracking.
He also defended the timing of his announcement on his position last month - before he has the powers to stop it.
There are no licence applications to drill for shale gas in Wales but if there were any, they would be decided in Westminster.
Fracking is a process of hydraulic fracturing of rocks deep underground to pipe gas to the surface.
There is no fracking for gas in Britain at the moment but it is a huge industry in the United States.
It is controversial though with concerns about the environment and underground water especially.
There have been protests against applications for test drilling for gas in both the Vale of Glamorgan and Wrexham.
Under the St David Day's Agreement, more powers on energy could be devolved to the Welsh government in the future.
Mr Sargeant, who is also the planning minister, had told the assembly's environment committee that his ability to stop councils from backing fracking applications amounted to a moratorium.
His letter to the 25 planning authorities in Wales last month said where a local planning authority "do not propose to refuse an application for unconventional oil and gas development, the authority must notify the Welsh ministers."
That directive follows a vote in the Senedd, instigated by Plaid Cymru and supported by Labour AMs for the Welsh government to do everything in its power to prevent fracking from taking place in Wales.
Several members of the assembly's environment committee claimed the minister and the government were being vague.
But Mr Sargeant said opposition politicians were confusing fracking with exploratory drilling, which could be for different reasons.
"There's to be no determination of fracking in any local authority in Wales," he told BBC Wales.
"They will have to inform me. There's a moratorium in all planning authorities - that's very clear."
Mr Sargeant said he had some doubts about the evidence surrounding fracking and he had to be convinced about it.
He said licensing around fracking rests with the Westminster government but this could be devolved after the next general election whichever party is in power.
Fracking and the drilling to explore for gas is becoming an electoral issue in areas like Wrexham and the Vale of Glamorgan, where developers have already received permission from local authorities to drill to look for gas.
Other permits will be needed in future if these boreholes are to produce natural or unconventional gas in future.
Bowe is preferred to Luke Fitzgerald as Keith Earls switches from wing to partner fit-again Henshaw at centre.
Earls takes over from injured Jared Payne in midfield while Simon Zebo will again start at full-back as Rob Kearney is not risked following his hip injury.
The Ireland side shows 11 changes from the win over Romania while Italy include their star man Sergio Parisse.
Victory over the Azzurri will secure Ireland's place in the quarter-finals.
Inspirational number eight Sergio Parisse missed the opening defeat by France and unimpressive win over Canada as he recovered from a calf haematoma.
Jacques Brunel's side shows five changes from the Canada game with Andrea Manici replacing injured hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini and Matias Aguero, Simone Favaro and centre Michele Capagnaro also drafted in.
Connacht star Henshaw is the only member of Ireland's 31-man squad not to have sampled World Cup action so far after missing the opening two games because of a hamstring injury.
Half-backs Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray return to the backs along with Dave Kearney for the game at London's Olympic Stadium.
Captain Paul O'Connell, Rory Best, Iain Henderson, Seanie O'Brien, Mike Ross, Peter O'Mahony and Jack McGrath are recalled to the pack by coach Joe Schmidt as Cian Healy has to be content with a place on the bench.
Healy made his first start since undergoing neck surgery in May in last weekend's game against the Romanians.
Centre Payne has been unable to train this week because of a bruised foot and is continuing to receive treatment.
Full-back Kearney did resume training on Wednesday after sustaining a hip injury following his introduction as a replacement against Romania.
However, Schmidt has opted to retain the talented Zebo at full-back after the Munster flyer's impressive display against the Romanians.
"Jared's injury is just inflammation and discomfort and he's able to walk around freely now and jog on it but he hasn't been able to prepare himself for the game," said Schmidt.
"Rob is probably fit for play but he wasn't fit at the start of the week. There are no real doubts about him for next week."
Lions star Bowe scored two tries in Ireland's 44-10 victory over Romania after missing the win over Canada and that impressive display proved enough to keep him in the team.
Ireland: S Zebo; T Bowe, K Earls, R Henshaw, D Kearney; J Sexton, C Murray; J McGrath, R Best, M Ross; I Henderson, P O'Connell (capt); P O'Mahony, S O'Brien, J Heaslip.
Replacements: S Cronin, C Healy, N White, D Toner, C Henry, E Reddan, I Madigan, L Fitzgerald

Baleka Mbete made the ruling after opposition parties took the case to the Constitutional Court.
They believe that in a secret ballot, MPs from the governing African National Congress (ANC) would be more likely to vote against the president.
Mr Zuma has survived several previous votes of no-confidence.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other African news stories
The ANC has governed South Africa since the end of white-minority rule in 1994, and has a huge majority in parliament.
Ms Mbete's decision took many by surprise and injects a new element of uncertainty into the proceedings against the president, reports the BBC's Nomsa Maseko in Cape Town.
The question now is whether enough ANC MPs are prepared to make a stand against the president, she adds.
At least 50 out of the ANC's 249 MPs would need to vote against the president in order for the no-confidence motion to pass.
ANC MP Makhosi Khoza received death threats last month after she said she would vote against the president, and branded him "a disgrace".
Opposition Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane told journalists that now with the secret ballot, the ANC MPs "have no excuse".
In a statement, it added that the ANC will vote against the motion and not back the attempt to "collapse our democratically elected government".
The ANC has described the no-confidence motion as a "political ploy" designed to remove the government "outside of general elections".
This latest attempt to unseat Mr Zuma came after he fired his widely respected Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and other ministers in a major cabinet reshuffle in March, sparking nationwide protests.
The president has also faced allegations of corruption and accusations that he has become too close to the wealthy Gupta family, who are accused of trying to influence political decisions, including the sacking of Mr Gordhan.
Mr Zuma and the Guptas have denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Zuma is due to step down as ANC leader in December. Several candidates are vying to succeed him as party leader, with the winner standing a strong chance of becoming South Africa's next president after elections in 2019.
The current favourites are deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and Mr Zuma's former wife, and favoured candidate, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

The photograph is of a town in Algeria, North Africa, called Ain Sefra which is right on the edge of the Sahara desert.
The town is known as the "gateway to the desert" and in the summer it can get as hot as 37 degrees Celsius.
It's not actually that unusual for the desert to get freezing cold temperatures during the winter.
But for snow you need water as well, and the area usually only gets a few centimetres of rainfall in an entire year, so snow is really rare!
In fact, this is the first time it's been seen since 1979.
There wasn't much time to build snowmen though - it was all gone by the next day.

Its latest forecast says the UK economy will grow by just 1.5% this year and by 1.2% in 2018, compared to 2% last year.
The Commission says the slowdown is prompted by uncertainty following last June's Brexit vote in the UK.
By contrast, the eurozone of 19 countries is predicted to grow faster than the UK, by 1.6% this year and 1.8% the next.
However the latest forecasts by the Commission, for both the UK and the eurozone, represent an improvement on its previous one made last November, which suggested that the UK would grow by just 1% this year.
Explaining its view, the Commission said: "Business investment is likely to be adversely affected by persisting uncertainty while private consumption growth is projected to weaken as growth in real disposable income declines."
Inflation is also predicted to rise this year in the eurozone, reaching an annual rate of 1.%, up from just 0.2% in 2016.
The view of the Commission on the UK was shared recently by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
Earlier this month it also predicted an economic slowdown in the UK, with the country growing by 1.7% this year and 1.9% in 2018.
But as Malaysia's prime minister says a piece of aircraft debris that washed up on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion is "very likely" to be from a Boeing 777, family members are reflecting on whether the development will answer long-held questions about their loved ones' fate.
"There are two parts, one is that [if] they have found the aircraft, then we can have some sort of closure. Then I can give my husband the peace that he needs.
"The other part is, no, let it not be true, because then we can still have hope that there is a chance the plane is still out there and they all can come home.
"We don't know yet, we are still on pins and needles."
"Well of course we're very shocked and anxious and you just feel like you've been thrown back into that loop one more time, all over again.
"We are not... taking it as the truth, because it's happened so many times before. We're wary of the information. I think we're also holding out hope until it's confirmed. We understand that there's a high likelihood that this might be it.
"But until then we still have to hold out hope."
"The most difficult part is not knowing anything.
"We're all longing and waiting so much for any sort of news that is, you know, valid... but when we get it I think it's going to be another emotional roller coaster as well."
'It has been more than one year and now they claim to have found debris of the MH370 on an island?
"We don't accept this, we do not believe what they claim, the finding does not constitute anything.''
"I'm hopeful, in another respect, I'm not. I guess while you don't know, you still hope.
"We need to know what happened... at least if it's confirmed as a part of the plane then we can go on to the next stage which is still pretty similar to where we were before - what happened, where's the rest of the plane and where's my brother?"
"I want to say that the families of the passengers of MH370 are suffering and hurting.
"On one hand, we are hurt from the plane accident itself, on the other hand we are hurt from the inhumane, illegal, cruel and harsh attitude from the Malaysian government and Malaysia Airlines, which hurts more than the accident.
"We can't go back to our original life any more."
"We need to find the main frame of the aircraft and the bodies. Until then I will continue to believe that my son is alive." | Typhoon fighter jets should be fitted with collision warning devices to avoid a "catastrophic" mid-air crash, the UK's military aviation watchdog has warned the Ministry of Defence.

Boro ensured their top-flight place with Saturday's 1-1 draw with Brighton.
Not even head coach Aitor Karanka's walk-out in March derailed the bid, as the Spaniard returned to lead Boro on a 10-game unbeaten run.
"When you live everyday with the lads, it gives you extra confidence," Konstantopoulos told BBC Tees.
"Even after Charlton (a 2-0 defeat on 13 March), where everyone thought 'that's it, they've blown it', I knew it was a matter of one win that was it and going on a good run which is what happened.
"When you train with the lads everyday that the people outside the group can't see, you can see the togetherness, the quality and the character, I had no doubt."
Boro missed out on escaping the Championship last season, when they lost to Norwich City in the play-off final at Wembley, having dropped from first to fourth in the final two games of the campaign.
However, that disappointment was a motivator for the Teessiders, with a core of north east players in the squad such as Ben Gibson, Stewart Downing and Grant Leadbitter desperate to restore top-flight football for the first time since 2009.
"After last year I knew the strength and character we had," Gibson said.
"I knew the chairman would back the manager again and invest in more experienced and talented players, from minute one I think if you asked any of your players we believed we'd go up.
"There were times where people said we bottled it, we'd fell away and our moment had gone and it shows our character which you see in times of adversity.

The reports of the UFO, known as "The Warminster Thing", came from many people who heard mysterious sounds and saw objects in the night sky in 1965.
The mural, by a "secret" artist, was organised by the Warminster Information Centre which said the "utterly unique event" should not be forgotten.
The artwork is on the old police station wall by the information centre.
George Rich, from the Warminster Information Centre, said: "[The mural] has attracted lots of attention. People are already taking lots of pictures.
"And that's what we want them all to do, come along and stand in the beam, do selfies and get it all on Facebook."
Leslie Blain, also from the information centre, said it had taken eight months to plan and organise the mural.
She said: "It's a secret as to who actually did the painting. He said it's still not finished, so you might be able to catch him in action.
"He said he's going to add some other elements. There is going to be some glow-in-the-dark paint. So over the day when it's sunny, the wall will heat up and at night time the picture will glow."

The accident happened shortly after midnight on the A638 at Rossington, Doncaster, leaving the Great North Road closed.
The two women, aged 59 and 52, were passengers in a black cab heading towards Bawtry, said police.
The other taxi carried six passengers and a driver. It was travelling in the opposite direction to Doncaster.
Two men, both aged 58, also travelling in the black cab, sustained minor injuries.
The six passengers in the other taxi were three men aged 22, 25 and 29, and three women, aged 21, 25 and 26.
The drivers of the taxis were men aged 40 and 58.
All 10 were taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries, South Yorkshire Police said.
The road was closed for a time but has since reopened.
Typically of his country's record Test try scorer there was one last touchdown to take Williams' tally to 58, although he left it until the final play of the game.
Australia already had the contest won as the clock ticked past 80 minutes, spoiling the full fairytale ending for the 34-year-old who was desperate to sign off with a win at the Millennium Stadium.
But still Wales continued to hammer at the Wallabies and after the forwards had made the hard yards, replacement scrum-half Tavis Knoyle released his backline.
Williams had come off his left wing into midfield and spotted Australian centre Berrick Barnes coming quickly out of defence, a pace or two ahead of his team-mates.
Media playback is not supported on this device
As he had on so many other occasions, Williams sensed his opponent's minor error and shifted himself a step right out of the direct line of the charging Waratah.
Williams' namesake Scott, who had started at 13 instead of the injured Jon Davies, played his part by putting extra pace on his pass to find the little wing on the outside shoulder.
A shimmy completed the toreador's feint, leaving Barnes sprawling on the Cardiff turf, and Williams was through the gap.
Barnes' midfield partner Anthony Fainga'a made a desperate dive but his fingers brushed past Williams' shoulders as he stamped on the accelerator.
The 69,537-strong crowd were already on their feet and their roar of approval echoed off the rafters as a somersaulting Williams touched down, treating his adoring public for one final time.
If ever there was a moment that encapsulated a man's career that was it, with Williams showing all the vision, athleticism, determination and joy of playing the game that has marked his 11-year Test career.
"There has been no better place to play than at the Millennium Stadium... it's where it started for me and where it has finished," Williams said.
"The support at the end was fantastic. Because of them I was bawling my eyes out."
After the game, Australia coach Robbie Deans said that Williams is a "once-in-a-generation player", while Wales boss Warren Gatland believes the Ospreys wing is a "catalyst" for those around him.
Williams's Wales try record puts him some distance clear of previous holder Gareth Thomas, who scored 40.
Two more tries for the 2009 British and Irish Lions against South Africa brings Williams's full international total up to 60.
That leaves only Australia great David Campese (64 from 101 Tests) and Japan's Daisuke Ohata (69 in 58 Tests, including 29 plundered against the minnows of Korea and Chinese Taipei) ahead of him in the world standings.
That is not bad for the Amman Valley product whose 5ft 7in, 12st 8lb frame is anathema in the professional game where size and power dominate.
Fellow wing great Ieuan Evans, who scored 33 tries for Wales, said the national side will miss Williams' ability to conjure scoring chances.

"Shane is a magician, so many wonderful images throughout his career. His ability to score tries from nothing, his wonderful balance, his sheer will to win belied his size," Evans said.
"That acceleration, that explosiveness was what marked Shane out, with the ability to beat people inside or on the outside - that just puts defenders ill at ease at all times.
"His talent was there for all to see and Shane had the ability to put a smile on three and a quarter million people whenever he pulled on that jersey for Wales."
Gerald Davies, another revered Wales great who like Williams was all about poise and pace, added his praise for his fellow wing's accomplishments.
"Shane was a brilliant, scintillating player, swift, agile, quick-thinking, clever and brave," said Davies.
"He was an unique talent in the modern game and I've always thought that because of his subtlety and side-stepping he was the small man's revenge!
"It's important to have the physical abilities… but it's important also to be in the right place at the right time to support the player with the ball, and to pick the correct angles to run."
Rugby fans will still be able to see Williams bamboozling opponents for the Ospreys for some time to come, but the number 11 shirt in the red of Wales will now be handed to another.
It is a small jersey to get into, but very big boots to fill.
"The company has acquired world publication rights for two books, to be written by President and Mrs Obama respectively," the publisher said.
Titles and other details have not been disclosed but the deal is believed to be worth over $60m (£48m).
Mr Obama is the author of the bestsellers Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope.
Mrs Obama has written American Grown - a book about food and gardening.
"With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish at Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same," Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle said.
"Now, we are very much looking forward to working together with President and Mrs Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance."
The £153m loss for the six months to the end of June compares with a £1.43bn profit a year ago.
Restructuring costs almost tripled to £1.5bn amid efforts by chief executive Ross McEwan to cut staff and refocus the bank on the UK.
The lender set aside £1.3bn for lawsuits and customer recompense.
Another £459m was earmarked mainly for litigation costs in the second quarter. Most of those are likely to arise from sales of mortgage-backed securities in the US, said the bank.
In May, RBS and Japanese bank Nomura were ordered to pay $806m between them for making false statements when selling the mortgage-backed bonds to US agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The bank's net profit rose to £293m for the three months to the end of June.
"There's a lot of noise," Mr McEwan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, referring to fines and probable lawsuits, "but underneath is a very strong bank."
"These things are very distracting," he added, "so we need to face into these and put our energies into creating a better bank here in the UK."
RBS was one of six banks fined a total of about £2.8bn for failing to stop traders trying to manipulate currency markets last year.
RBS has already paid £399m in fines to US and UK regulators over the forex scandal.
The bank's capital strength improved after selling a stake in US lender Citizens.
Costs for the bank have fallen, which finance director Ewen Stevenson attributed to smaller staff costs and "getting out of expensive real estate" on a conference call with journalists.
Huddersfield dominated possession in the first half and took the lead when full-back Chris Lowe gathered Elias Kachunga's pass and fired in.
Barnsley equalised when Alfie Mawson headed home Marc Roberts' throw-in.
Stefan Payne shot against the post for Barnsley before Kachunga's pass found Hogg, who shot into the top corner.
The Terriers deserved their win, with Nahki Wells twice having efforts saved after the break and Rajiv van La Parra firing over from a good position.
Barnsley remain without a win at Huddersfield in more than 10 years, with their last away victory coming in May 2006.
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "What the table says at this stage doesn't matter. We have 10 points from four matches and every single point has been deserved because of the work ethic of the players.
"It's a good run and we have to keep it going. We can only influence results with our performance.
"We can't promise a result every game but what we can promise is we will keep fighting and working hard."
Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom: "It is always about the result but we came up against a good side in Huddersfield. For us to be disappointed shows how far we have come.
"It was a game of two halves for us. We didn't play well in the first half and let them dictate and didn't pose much threat.
"We responded well in the second half but we couldn't dwell on it at half-time with the players. We just came up with a new game plan. There are a lot of positives to take."

The bill represents a slight drop on 2014-15, when £138.6m was spent on legal assistance.
Donald Findlay QC tops the list for payments in the Scottish Legal Aid Board's annual report, earning £288,000 - an increase of £30,000 on last year.
Advocate Anthony Lenehan, who saw his payments rise 15% to £278,000, takes second place on the list.
In third place was Mhairi Richards QC, who saw her legal aid earnings rise by 63% to £274,000.
Of the total amount, £84.3m was spent on criminal legal assistance and £42.4m on civil cases.
The remainder went on children's legal aid (£5.1m) and grant-funded projects (£5.4m).

Colin Lancaster, chief executive of the Scottish Legal Aid Board (Slab), said: "Slab has a strong track record of effectively administering the legal aid system and delivering an increasing range of priorities for Scottish ministers.
"Good performance in 2015-16 has been evidenced through the delivery of a range of key activities set out in this annual report and accounts, along with the full achievement of our current suite of key performance indicators.
"Through our effective consideration of legal aid applications and accounts, we have delivered our key function of managing the legal aid system."
As well as managing the legal aid fund and deciding whether to grant applications, the board is responsible for advising ministers on the operation of legal aid.
Fiscal depute Gary Aitken made the comments during his closing submission in the fatal accident inquiry into the death of 12-year-old Keane Wallis-Bennett.
The first year pupil died at Liberton High School on 1 April 2014.
A free-standing modesty wall in the PE changing room crushed her.
Mr Aitken told Edinburgh Sheriff Court the inquiry had heard evidence the wall, said to have been built in the 1950s, was cracked before the incident, and it had fallen as a result of having "lateral force" applied to it which pushed it beyond its "tipping point".
That was the question posed by a BBC reader, following a report on how children struggle to cope online.
There is plenty of information about how to deal with cyberbullies, but far less about what to do if you find out that your own child is the source.
The BBC took advice from experts and a mother who found out her daughter had been cyberbullying her school friends.
Few parents would want to admit that their child was a bully but Nicola Jenkins has gone on record with her story. You can watch her tell it here.
"Nobody thinks that their own child is saying unkind things to other children, do they? I let them go on all the social media sites and trusted the children to use it appropriately.
"Our form tutor phoned me up during school hours one day to tell me that there'd been some messages sent between my daughter and two other friends that weren't very nice. One of the children in particular was very upset about some of the things that had been said to her.
"Her friend's mum spoke to me about it and showed me the messages that had been sent. When I approached my daughter about it, she denied that there had been anything going on. It took a while to get it out of her, but I was angry with her once I actually found out that she had been sending these messages.
"I spoke to her teacher and to the other parents, and between us we spoke to the children to let them know that they can't be saying unkind things and to just make them aware that whatever they do is recorded and can be kept. And they all did learn a lesson from it.
"I removed all the social media websites from her so she wasn't able to access them for a while and then monitored her input and what she's been saying to people.
"But it did make me feel angry and quite ashamed that my daughter could be saying things like that to her friends, but she has grown up a bit since then and she's learnt her lesson.
"You want to trust your children, but they can get themselves into situations that they can't get out of.
"And as they get older, they look at different things. I know my son looks at totally different things to what my daughter does, so it's just being aware of what they are accessing and make sure that they are happy for you to look at what they are looking at as well."
According to not-for-profit organisation Internet Matters, one in five 13-18 year olds claim to have experienced cyberbullying but there are few statistics on how many children are bullying.
Carolyn Bunting, general manager of Internet Matters, offers the following advice:
"First, sit down with them and try to establish the facts around the incident with an open mind. As parents, we can sometimes have a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of our own children - so try not to be on the defensive. Talk about areas that may be causing them distress or anger and leading them to express these feelings online.
"Make clear the distinction between uploading and sharing content because it's funny or might get lots of 'likes', versus the potential to cause offence or hurt. Tell them: this is serious. It's vital they understand that bullying others online is unacceptable behaviour. As well as potentially losing friends, it could get them into trouble with their school or the police.
"If your child was cyberbullying in retaliation, you should tell them that two wrongs cannot make a right and it will only encourage further bullying behaviour. Stay calm when discussing it with your child and try to talk with other adults to work through any emotions you have about the situation.
"Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.
"As a role model, show your child that taking responsibility for your own actions is the right thing to do. Above all, help your child learn from what has happened. Think about what you could do differently as a parent or as a family and share your learning with other parents and carers."
Many critics blame social media for not doing enough to deal with cyberbullying. Abuse is prolific on Twitter and it has pledged to do more, including improving tools that allow users to mute, block and report so-called trolls.
Sinead McSweeney, vice-president of public policy at Twitter, explained why the issue is close to her heart:
"As a mother of a seven-year-old boy, I've always tried to strike the right balance between promoting internet safety and encouraging the type of exploration, learning and creativity that the internet can unlock."
She offered the following advice:
"If you find that your child is participating in this type of behaviour, a good first step is to understand the nature of the type of material they're creating, who is the target, and try to ascertain their motivations.
"If the bullying is taking place on a social media platform, make sure to explain to them why the behaviour is inappropriate and harmful, and to supervise the deletion of the bullying content they have created. If it continues, it may be worth seeking additional advice from a teacher or trusted confidant."
The circuit bosses are poised to activate a break clause in its contract that would cancel the British Grand Prix after 2019.
A source close to Silverstone owners the British Racing Drivers' Club said: "The BRDC is ready to sit down with (F1) to work out a solution that ensures a long-term, financially viable future for the British Grand Prix."
The source added: "However, for negotiations to go anywhere there must be sensible offers made by both sides, based on a better understanding of the numbers."
The clause to end the race has to be activated before the British Grand Prix weekend from 14-16 July. This is all but certain to happen.
The BRDC was not available for comment on the matter. It has said it cannot afford to keep the grand prix under the terms of the current contract and will have to drop the race if it cannot agree new financial terms with F1.
The comments from the source close to Silverstone are a response to information leaked to Reuters news agency last week, which said Silverstone had rejected an offer from F1 to take over the race for five years, which would absorb annual loses of between £2-3m.
The story also said an offer to delay the deadline for a decision until the end of July had been rejected.
The BRDC turned down the offer because it did not make financial sense for the organisation, the source said.
It would have meant handing Silverstone over free of charge to a third-party promoter for three weeks every year to run the grand prix.
This would have put the BRDC in a worse financial situation than it is already because it would earn no revenue from the grand prix but still carry all costs of maintaining the circuit.
The BRDC rejected the chance to extend the deadline because it did not want to add to the uncertainty surrounding the situation given that it is widely known a decision had to be made before this year's British Grand Prix.
F1 chairman Chase Carey told BBC Sport that he regarded a British Grand Prix as "critically important" to F1.
"We are very much determined to have a race in the UK and our priority would be to try to find a solution with Silverstone but we are not there today," he said.
"We have a race in place through 2019, so you are talking three years. So there has to be a little bit of a reality check of the timeframe we are dealing with."
Carey said there was "interest from other places that would have appeal" in the UK in holding a race.
One of these is believed to be a bid to run the race on a street circuit in the Docklands area of east London.
Carey said: "I don't want to get too far into it. This sport in the past has been a sport that likes to talk first and act second and I am not sure that is always healthy in trying to move forwards.
"In business life I have usually tried to get things done and then talk publicly about why we did what we did. Negotiating and posturing in public is not a practice I am a great fan of. the conversations are better had privately.
"We want these to be partnerships, long-term partnerships and the best way to get there is to develop a level of trust and understanding and engagement with each other."
She was with a Dublin-based scout group at Hook Head, County Wexford, when a large wave swept them off rocks and into the water on Sunday afternoon.
Two of the four managed to swim to shore, but the girl and a 15-year-old boy were winched to safety by an Irish Coast Guard helicopter.
They were both taken to hospital.
Coast Guard director Chris Reynolds told the Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, that the girl was unconscious when she was taken from the water.
He said he understood the boy tried to keep her afloat and that he was in distressed condition, with mild hypothermia, when the emergency services arrived.
In a separate incident, footage has emerged of the moment two men jumped off Blackrock diving board in Salthill, County Galway during the storm.
The pair have been widely criticised for risking their own lives.
A judge ruled that the case was not strong enough against the officers who put down the riot in the notorious Carandiru jail.
He said although the evidence was not conclusive excesses had been committed.
No police were injured as they took back the jail but 111 prisoners died.
The trials of most of the officers took place in 2013 and 2014 almost 20 years after the event but none had begun to serve sentences.
The judge, Ivan Sartori, said the prosecution had failed to identify what the police had done when they entered the jail.
"In this case we don't know who killed who and who did what."
The police officers were convicted of having executed prisoners in cold blood although their defence had argued they had only fought back during a violent uprising.
Prosecutors have argued that many of the prisoners were found naked in their cells and had been killed after they had been disarmed and overpowered.
The local prosecutor's office said it was "perplexed" by the ruling and that it would appeal.
The police officers received sentences of between 48 and 624 years in prison but none have served any part of their sentences.
The leader of the operation, Colonel Ubiratan Guimaraes, was sentenced to 632 years in prison in 2001, but was acquitted on appeal in 2006.
He was murdered that same year in suspicious circumstances.
The game was played with Blackpool Air Show taking place in the skies above Bloomfield Road and the hosts were soon flying high.
They were ahead after just five minutes when on-loan Newcastle midfielder Longstaff picked the ball up 15 yards out and rifled a right-footed shot low into the far corner.
And the Seasiders had a chance to double the lead when Bright Osayi-Samuel broke inside the area but his square ball to Viv Solomon-Otabor was poor and the chance was lost.
MK Dons had their best chance after 36 minutes when Ethan Ebanks-Landell rose highest to glance a header from six yards inches wide of the far post.
The visitors had goalkeeper Lee Nicholls to thank for keeping them in the game as he twice denied Osayi-Samuel from close range after 74 minutes.
And his opposite number Ryan Allsop secured Blackpool the points by parrying away Kieran Agard's fierce late drive.

The assembly is due to return next Monday after the summer recess.
First Minister Peter Robinson said after allegations of an IRA role in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr, it "cannot be business as usual".
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said he took strong exception to anyone who questioned his commitment to peace.
The DUP's attempt to stall assembly meetings was overruled by other parties.
Mr Robinson is meeting Prime Minister David Cameron and will ask him to intervene in an attempt to solve the crisis at Stormont.
Their discussions will centre on the political fall-out from Mr McGuigan Sr's killing and the subsequent decision by the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) to leave the executive.
Mr McGuigan, a former IRA man, was shot dead in east Belfast last month. The police believe IRA members were involved.
In the wake of the shooting, the head of Northern Ireland's police service said that the IRA still exists.
But the chief constable added that there was no evidence that the murder had been sanctioned at a senior level in the organisation.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Mr Robinson said: "These issues will not be resolved unless there is a talks process, but to allow that talks process I think we have to recognise that we can't simply do business as usual in the assembly, nor will we.
"Our view is that the prime minister and the government should suspend the assembly to allow the talks to take place."
Mr McGuinness said his party had a strong record of condemning violence and said those who went armed with a gun were "no friend of Sinn Féin".
He described the killers of Jock Davison and Kevin McGuigan as "criminals" and "violent dissidents".
He also criticised the UUP's withdrawal from the executive and said Mr Nesbitt's party were "playing fast and loose with the peace process".
He said the UUP action was "all about the election" and said if the DUP followed suite and left the executive it would show a "massive failure of leadership" which would leave a "vacuum" of a "very real prospect of an increase in violence on our streets".
The DUP's proposal for an assembly adjournment was brought before Stormont's business committee on Tuesday.
Stormont's power-sharing government returned in 2007, headed by then Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley as first minister and Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness as deputy first minister.
The two men had been bitter enemies for many years, but the decommissioning of IRA weapons in 2005 and Sinn Féin's endorsement of policing in Northern Ireland paved the way for Stormont's return.
In the last assessment by the Independent Monitoring Commission, an official body that monitored paramilitary activity that was wound down in 2010, it said it believed the Provisional IRA had "maintained its political course" and "would continue to do so".
With Northern Ireland's chief constable now saying the Provisional IRA still exists and some of its members were involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan, renewed focus has been placed on the stability of the institutions at Stormont.
Q&A: UUP withdrawal
But it was opposed by the UUP, Sinn Féin and the SDLP.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said his party did not support it as "other parties need to get on with governing".
DUP MLA Peter Weir said the UUP opposition was hypocritical.
"On the one hand, Mike claims to have withdrawn [from the executive] because of Sinn Féin denials on the IRA while on the other he is happy to vote with them to continue a normal business approach," Mr Weir said.
The UUP's sole minister Danny Kennedy submitted his resignation from the executive on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers met the Irish foreign and justice ministers in Dublin to discuss the crisis.
She said it was important that political parties in Northern Ireland had "real dialogue" and worked together to resolve the future of the executive.
She added that it was "well worth considering" bringing back a body similar to the International Monitoring Commission to monitor paramilitary activity.
She also said it was important to bring paramilitarism to an end.
After the two-hour meeting, Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said "no best interest was served" in allowing Northern Ireland's political institutions to collapse.
He said "a number of options" were on the table over how to rebuild trust among the parties, and added that there was a need for them to re-commit to "the spirit and the letter of the Good Friday Agreement".
The Labour peer, who died in December 2015, is alleged to have abused youngsters over a 30-year period.
His family said that, following Lord Janner's death, the inquiry would be a "proxy trial".
Inquiry chair Prof Alexis Jay ruled a hearing was not necessary as she had already dismissed the family's fears.
Prof Jay, chair of the Independent Inquiry Into Child Sexual Abuse, said the investigation of the evidence would continue but no hearings would take place until it was clear they would not duplicate investigations being carried out by other agencies.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the way the Janner case was dealt with by police.
Daniel Janner QC, Lord Janner's son, said the the inquiry has "inexplicably and unfairly" turned down his request to make oral representations.
"I am certain this is because the inquiry is afraid that their decision to hold a separate strand investigating my wholly innocent late father would not stand up to scrutiny forensically," he added.
"This is pure Alice in Wonderland - sentence first, verdict afterwards."
The major inquiry into historical child sex abuse in England and Wales will examine claims made against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces, public and private institutions and people in the public eye.
Officials say most of those who died in the central town of Dekoa were civilians hit by stray bullets.
The predominantly Christian anti-Balaka militia attacked positions held by mainly Muslim Seleka rebels, they say.
CAR exploded into violence in early December amid mounting resentment toward a Muslim-led government.
Muslim rebels seized power in March 2013 by overthrowing President Francois Bozize - who had been in power for a decade.
CAR's peacemakers
The rebel leader who replaced him, President Michel Djotodia, was accused of failing to prevent his forces from raping, torturing and killing civilians - particularly among the country's Christian majority.
When Mr Djotodia's government fell in January, Christian militia fighters began attacking Muslim civilians in retaliation.
Thousands have been killed since the conflict began and tens of thousands more have fled the country. The UN says that about 1.3 million people - a quarter of the population - are in need of aid.
The UN Security Council is due to vote on Thursday on expanding the nearly 5,000-strong African mission in CAR into a UN peacekeeping operation.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has warned of "ethno-religious cleansing" in CAR, with lynchings, decapitations and sexual violence all going unpunished.
Some 6,000 African and 2,000 French peacekeepers are currently struggling to keep the violence in check.
Correspondents say that they face a hugely difficult task as Seleka rebels, who have been pushed north from the capital, Bangui, attempt to regroup.
French military police have, however, begun patrolling the streets of Bangui as the first part of a new European Union combat force which is expected to number 800 troops by the end of May.
In the latest violence, police said that the anti-Balaka militia attacked Seleka positions early on Tuesday morning in Dekoa, about 300km (180 miles) north of Bangui.
They said that the fighting escalated when the Seleka called in reinforcements and went on for more than four hours.
"Most of the victims were civilians who were hit by stray bullets," a police source told the AFP news agency.
Meanwhile the US ambassador to the UN on Wednesday urged more support for African and French troops in CAR ahead the UN peacekeeping vote.
Ambassador Samantha Power - currently in CAR - said that the African peacekeeping mission was working hard to fill the gap left by the departure of about 850 troops from neighbouring Chad and were being deployed into the areas they previously guarded.
CAR is rich in gold, diamonds and other natural resources but decades of unrest and mismanagement have left most of its people stuck in poverty.

Liam Foster, a musician in the play, said: "It's a massive piece of local history none of us knew about."
The production, starring students aged 15-18, was written by Jane Thornton and features music by Dave Rotheray, lead guitarist for The Beautiful South.
Andrew Young, of Hull International Brigades Memorial Group, said: "It is incredible to think eight ordinary working class guys put their life on the line to take a principled stand against fascism."
Four of the Hull men, Jack Atkinson, Jim Bentley, Morris Miller and Robert Wardle, died.
Joe Latus, Richard Mortimer, Sam Walters and Bert Wilson all returned.
All are commemorated on a plaque in the city's Guildhall.
Mr Wilson is recorded wrongly on the plaque as Leslie, because he was only 17 years old and used the passport of his older brother, Leslie, to get to Spain.
Although full details of the men's service in Spain are unclear, Jack Atkinson died on 21 January 1937 in Jarama.
Robert Wardle, aged 28, left his wife and two children to go to Spain and both he and Jim Bentley, 24, died near Calaceite on 31 March 1938 less than a month after they had arrived.
Morris Miller, 22, who had written articles for the International Brigade newspaper, was the last of the four to be killed during a battle on Hill 666, near Gandesa in the Ebro offensive of 1938.
He is remembered on a concrete memorial on the hill. His cousin Jonathan Miller previously told the BBC: "It's a long way from Hull and it looks a lot different but there's a big connection, and Morris is the connection."
Some of the Hull men went from London to Paris before going south to the Spanish border, followed by a tough climb on foot across the Pyrenees mountain range to join the war.
Joe Latus arrived on an unknown beach carried by a fishing trawler, according to his daughter Dilys Porter.
She has a box of her father's mementoes including his identity card and one with the motto "It is better to die on our feet as a free man than live on our knees as slaves".
He returned to a career in the Merchant Navy, took part in the Dunkirk evacuation in World War Two, and later became a director of rugby league team Hull FC.
Mrs Porter said: "They are real heroes I think and ought to be celebrated as such."

The play opens at Archbishop Sentamu Academy on 27 June and is to be performed in various venues before going to Barcelona in July.
The probe centred on Mr Duggan's associate, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, who beat a man with a gun in east London.
Six days after the attack he gave the same gun to Mr Duggan, who was shot 15 minutes later by armed police.
The police watchdog found errors in how an officer, named only as DC Faulkner, conducted the initial investigation.
The officer was dismissed without notice.
Mr Duggan, 29, was shot by police in Tottenham, north London, on 4 August 2011.
Hutchinson-Foster was found guilty of supplying a gun to Mr Duggan, which was found near to his body, and was jailed in 2013 for 11 years.
However, he admitted using the same gun to beat barber Peter Osadebay six days earlier.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission's report found DC Faulkner, who was initially investigating that assault, did not contact witnesses. It also found blood swabs were not subjected to forensic analysis for several months.
CCTV which clearly showed an individual carrying out the assault was also not circulated at the earliest opportunity.
DC Faulkner was also found to have attempted to deceive his supervisor several months later by saying that the CCTV had been circulated when it had not.
However, the IPCC found that even if the assault had been promptly investigated, it would have been highly unlikely that Hutchinson-Foster could or would have been identified before he provided the gun to Mr Duggan.
The investigation followed a referral from the Met in November 2011, after it identified failings in its original investigation into the assault.
In May 2015 a police sergeant was found at a misconduct meeting to have failed to adequately supervise the investigation but no sanction was imposed by the Met.
The man, aged in his 40s, was found dead at a house in Thornton Road, Morecambe, at about 22:00 GMT on Friday.
An investigation is under way after police were called by paramedics.
A woman had also apparently taken the substance but survived and is helping officers with their inquiries, Lancashire Police said.
Legal highs produce the same, or similar effects, to drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, but are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
They cannot be sold for human consumption, but are often given labels such as "plant food" to get around the law.

Terrence George, 72, died in January 2016 at the Royal Cornwall Hospital after an attack of pancreatitis caused by gall stones.
He was admitted to hospital with mild pancreatitis five months before, but had not had his gall bladder removed.
He was discharged a week later with a plan for him to be reviewed after six weeks, but there were delays.
Senior Coroner for Cornwall, Dr Emma Carlyon, read a statement from Melanie Feldman, a consultant colorectal surgeon who was responsible for Mr George's care until discharge in August 2015.
She was asked: "Do you agree that death could have been avoided in this case if an earlier operation had taken place?"
In a written response Mrs Feldman said "yes".
The court heard a statement from Mr George's son Kevin George, who said his father had "led a full and active life".
In describing his father's death he said "devastating is a huge understatement".
He said it was a "tragic waste of life" and a "simple operation could have prevented it".
The inquest continues.

William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, said she was a "wonderful actress" who could make make you laugh and cry.
Julie Goodyear, who starred as Bet Lynch in the soap, said she was an "amazing actress" and an "absolute joy to play scenes with".
Alexander died peacefully in hospital aged 90 on Friday, her niece said.
She portrayed Hilda Ogden, a sharp-tongued, put-upon housewife who was one of Coronation Street's best-known characters, from 1964 to 1987.
Roache, who has been in Coronation Street since its first episode in 1960, said: "Jean created one of the most iconic Coronation Street characters in Hilda Ogden.
"She could make you laugh, particularly with Hilda's comedy singing, but she could also deliver incredibly moving performances and make you cry. She was a wonderful actress."
Goodyear added: "Jean Alexander was the exact opposite of the character she played, Hilda Ogden. This proves what an amazing actress she was. Jean was a very private person and meticulous in her work. Hilda will be remembered forever as one of the best characters in Coronation Street."
Obituary: Jean Alexander
Coronation St star Jean Alexander dies
Sally Dynevor, who is known for her role as Sally Webster, described her as an "inspiration" and said Hilda would always be her favourite character.
Dynevor worked alongside Alexander after joining Coronation Street in 1986 when her character Sally moved in with Hilda and Kevin Webster, played by Michael Le Vell.
In a tribute on twitter, she wrote: "Jean Alexander, RIP. What a wonderful woman, and such an amazing and talented actress."
She went on: "Michael and I loved her, and any scenes we did with her we always wanted to do our very best."
Le Vell, who plays Kevin Webster, said her death had come as a "shock" and described Alexander as "the biggest iconic soap character to walk the planet".
He added: "My proudest and most exciting moment on the show was when Kevin and Sally moved in with Hilda as it meant I would have loads of scenes with her.
"She was such a warm, caring person and a joy to work with. She was also great fun. We used to watch snooker in the green room with her as she loved snooker.
"For such an iconic character she was always one of the first people to make a new arrival feel so welcome."
Other cast members have expressed their sadness at the news of her death.
Jennie McAlpine, who has played Fiz Brown on Coronation Street since 2001, tweeted: "So sorry to hear about Jean Alexander. I would have loved to work with her. Thankful to have met her though. Rest in Peace Jean x."
Antony Cotton, who joined the cast as Sean Tully in 2003, said Alexander was "magnificent", adding: "My favourite episode of Coronation Street ever, was Hilda singing 'Wish Me Luck...'"
Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle McDonald in the soap, wrote: "RIP Jean Alexander. A true soap icon. Never will you be forgotten."
Former Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote, who played Katy Armstrong between 2010 and 2015, tweeted: "Such an incredible actress. My thoughts are with your family."
Daran Little, Coronation Street script writer from 2000 to 2010, said Alexander "reached into the hearts of viewers - she was everyone's nan, everyone's nosy neighbour".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: "I think the great thing about Jean playing Hilda is that Jean was absolutely nothing like Hilda - she was sophisticated and quiet, she was an ex-librarian, she used to love doing crosswords and she used to pad up coat hangers for charity.
"And when she put the curlers on, she became something else."
Alexander left the soap in 1987 and went on to join the cast of Last of the Summer Wine as junk shop owner Auntie Wainwright, who she played for 22 years until 2010.
Actress Kate Robbins, who appeared alongside her in an episode of the sitcom, tweeted: "Acting with Jean Alexander was, for me, a dream come true. Diminutive in size but a giant of talent. #RIPJean."
Other stars took to social media to pay tribute to the actress.
Sherlock Holmes actor Eddie Marsan said Alexander was "one of the best" while Homeland star David Harewood described her as a "legend".
John Whiston, creative director at ITV Studios, said fans of Coronation Street will "know how sad it is" to hear the news of her death.
He added: "Hilda Ogden was the earthy heart of the show for very many years, and the brilliance of Jean as an actor was that she could shift from high comedy to deeply emotional and moving drama in a heartbeat.
"That takes real skill and real acting but also real humanity. That is what the world has lost with her passing."
Irish voters will decide on Friday whether or not gay and lesbian unions should be recognised by the constitution - a question that has led to weeks of emotive debate.
Celebrities, sports stars, journalists and bishops have all had their say. BBC News looks back at some of their most memorable quotes.
The Dublin-born film star added his support to the Yes campaign, saying he was "sad and disappointed" that his brother had to leave Ireland to get married, because he was gay.

US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres shared his comments with her 43 million Twitter followers.
Writing in the Irish Times, Dr Diarmuid Martin, said he did not wish to "stuff his religious views down other people's throats", but he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman.
"Marriage is not simply about a wedding ceremony or about two people being in love with each other," he said.
"I ask you to reflect on why humans exist as male and female? It is not an accident or a social construct... I believe that this complementarity belongs to the fundamental definition of marriage."
The presenter recorded a message in the Irish language (Gaeilge), asking people to vote in favour of same-sex marriage. He married his fiance Elliot Spencer earlier this year.
"I want the same happiness I have found to be afforded to those in Ireland too. Give people a chance to marry and have their love celebrated."
The Dublin Gaelic Games star is one of the few Irish sportsmen to speak out against same-sex marriage. He said he had concerns about gay married couples raising children.
"It would have been easier to keep my mouth shut and not rock the boat. I know I'm not homophobic; my gay friends and family can attest to that.
"I am voting 'No' because I don't want our constitution to deny that it is a good thing for a child to have a mother and a father."
The political journalist received widespread praise for coming out ahead of the referendum. The 54-year-old spoke of her pain at growing up in a country where homosexuality was illegal until 1993.
"In the privacy of my head, I had become a roaring, self-loathing homophobe, resigned to going to my grave with my shameful secret.
"And I might well have done that if the referendum hadn't come along."
Keith Mills, an openly gay man, has said he is against same-sex marriage, arguing that homosexual and lesbian couples are already well served by the Irish Civil Partnership Act.
"It upsets me when those promoting same-sex marriage try to portray civil partnerships as a 'second class marriage'," he said.
"That is most certainly not how I and most people that I know view them."
The ex-head of state, who is a devout Catholic, has spoken about her son Justin's battle for acceptance as a gay man in Ireland.
She said he endured "torture" when he discovered what the Church taught about homosexuality.
"A Yes vote costs the rest of us nothing. A No vote costs our gay children everything," she added.
Mr Conroy is a member of Catholic advocacy group the Iona Institute and has been openly critical of the Yes campaign.
He told the BBC: "It is fuelled by a climate that says 'No' people... are haters, bigots or homophobes and I think that in itself is a reason to be really sceptical about a Yes movement that says it is all about tolerance."
Mr Conroy's mother, Breda O'Brien, has written columns in the Irish Times, vehemently arguing against changing the constitution.
"There is no human right to same-sex marriage. Countries can decide to vote it in, but it has been established by the European Court of Human Rights that there is no human right to it."
The nine-time Wimbledon champion has championed gay rights for decades.
Over the past few weeks she has retweeted numerous comments and articles about the referendum debate in Ireland. On Monday she added her own voice to the Yes campaign, calling the vote "Ireland's equality moment".
"Ireland will be the first country in (sic) the right side of history," she added.
He was speaking after a summit with the six biggest power firms, consumer groups and regulator Ofgem.
The summit discussed whether bills were higher because of lack of competition.
The prime minister said that the government needed to work "harder and faster" to bring down energy bills.
David Cameron called for a "trusted, simple and transparent" market.
"We should be checking to see whether or not we're on the cheapest tariff," Mr Huhne said after the summit.
"We should be switching if we're not on the cheapest tariff and taking the opportunity ahead of this winter to really make sure that we're insulating so that we can save money."
British Gas, Scottish Power, Npower and EDF have pledged not to raise prices again this winter.
SSE has already said prices will not rise again until August 2012 at the earliest.
However, Phil Bentley, the managing director of British Gas, the UK's biggest domestic energy supplier, warned that prices in the longer term would keep on rising because of the rising cost of gas on the international market.
"We are importing 50% of the gas that comes into Britain and we are having to compete for sources from the Middle East - Japan is importing huge amounts of gas on ships and that was gas that used to come into the UK market," he said.
By Norman SmithChief political correspondent, BBC News
If anybody thought that at the end of today their energy bill was going to come rocketing down, then that absolutely was not the case.
Chris Huhne's argument seemed to be that at the end of the day it's up to us, the consumers, to shop around and we should not expect the government to somehow resolve the issue of high energy prices.
The difficulty is there is a limited number of levers the government can pull because these are private companies - they're not charities.
Chris Huhne has been going around today saying, "They're not the Salvation Army," and that pretty much is the bottom line.
"It is an inconvenient truth that unit prices of energy are going to go up.
"In my opinion unit prices will only go one way unless someone discovers huge amounts of gas and imports it into the UK: the international price for gas I am afraid is going up," Mr Bentley added.
Last month, Labour leader Ed Miliband attacked the "rigged" market in Britain, while Energy Secretary Chris Huhne said he planned to "get tough" with the firms.
Regulator Ofgem has predicted a rise in firms' prospective profit margins from £15 to £125 per customer - figures challenged by the industry.
Ofgem has also announced plans to simplify tariffs in order to allow customers to compare prices more easily.
Last week one firm, SSE, said its power would be sold on the open market rather than going straight to its supply arm.
Experts say if the other five big firms followed suit it could save customers a lot of money.
In a joint statement with Mr Huhne on the MoneySavingExpert.com website, Mr Cameron said they could not control volatile world energy prices, "but we can still help people get their bills down".
"The easiest ways to get energy bills down quickly are to get people paying the lowest possible tariffs and to reduce the amount of energy that is wasted," the statement added.
"Our intention is for today's summit to be the start of a much more active engagement with consumers, with us all working harder and faster to deliver an energy market that is trusted, simple and transparent."
But shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint insisted the government's "warm words" wouldn't "heat homes during a bitter winter".
"They're unable to take on vested interests, they won't tackle the spiralling prices imposed by the energy giants, they won't investigate the mis-selling of energy and they won't help the pensioners whose winter fuel payments have been cut," she said.
The cost of gas and electricity has risen by up to 18% in the past few weeks, with the cheapest dual-fuel deals - for those with online deals - having risen above the £1,000 level for the first time.
This prompted the Department of Energy to call the summit to examine ways in which customers can take action to save money.
But the consumers' association Which? said the meeting should look at more fundamental factors affecting the market.
"We need commitments from suppliers and the government to put an end to practices that harm consumers and action to create a competitive energy market that works for everyone," said executive director Richard Lloyd.
Mike O'Connor, chief executive of watchdog Consumer Focus, said: "Government, energy firms and consumer organisations have a responsibility to make sure that consumers get all the help they need to cut their bills."
Last week, the regulator, Ofgem, published its simplification plan, which said suppliers would be forced to have no-frills tariffs, which would consist of a standing charge - fixed by the regulator - plus a unit charge for energy used.
It means the only number consumers would have to compare between suppliers would be the unit energy charge.
Ofgem will publish its detailed proposals for consultation next month and hopes to have implemented some of its reforms in time for winter 2012.
The panel declined to bring charges against Officer Daniel Pantaleo for putting Eric Garner in a chokehold that led to his death.
The prosecutor opposes the move, saying it will hamper witness co-operation.
Similar records were released for a Missouri grand jury investigating the death of an unarmed black teenager.
St Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch released the records, with witness names redacted, after the jury declined to charge Officer Darren Wilson for the killing of Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson.
Brown and Garner's death sparked protests across the US about police killings and police relations with black and other minority communities.
Eric Garner, 43, was stopped by police for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes in Staten Island in August and placed in a chokehold by Mr Pantaleo.
In a witness video, Garner, who had asthma, is heard saying "I can't breathe". A city medical officer later ruled the death a homicide stemming from the effects of the chokehold.
The US justice department has launched a civil rights investigation in the case.
The New York Civil Liberties Union and other groups who are suing cited the outcry over the Garner grand jury's decision not to indict despite the video of the incident, as a compelling exception to the normal secrecy of the grand jury.
Disclosure is needed "to restore public confidence in our criminal justice system and to inform the current debate that has begun regarding the role of the grand jury as an instrument of justice or injustice" NYCLU argues in court documents.
But the office of Richmond County District Attorney Daniel Donovan said grand jury witnesses in the case came forward to testify "with full assurances of secrecy".
Making the records public, they argued, would bring an "inevitable result of harassment or retaliation" and a "chilling effect on the very type of witness cooperation that is most desired and the most difficult to obtain".
Judge William Garnett will hear arguments in the case on Thursday.
The NYCLU cites the decision of Missouri prosecutors to release panel detail in the Wilson case as precedent, but Mr Donovan says that was also the wrong decision.
News outlets, he argued, compromised witness anonymity in Missouri by their reporting of the grand jury proceedings and the same could happen in New York.

Campaigners including Mind Cymru say some mothers who need support have had long journeys to England for treatment.
The last Welsh unit closed in Cardiff in 2013, but reopening a unit has been now proposed as a potential option for the future of perinatal mental health services in Wales.
No decision has yet been made.
Mother and baby units (MBUs) provide specialist care to women with mental health problems such as severe postnatal depression and postpartum psychosis, in a place where they can be treated and stay with their newborn child.
Further evidence is being sought by Welsh Health Specialist Services Committee (WHSSC) following a study which suggested three possible ways forward:
The last MBU in Wales existed until 2013 when it was closed due to an insufficient number of women using the service, as well as staffing and resources issues.
From 2014 mothers who have needed specialist care have been placed at MBUs in England, at a cost of £798,000.
Many women who need support face a choice "between receiving inpatient care more locally but being separated from their infant, or remaining with their infant in a specialist unit but needing to travel away from their support networks", according to a report drawn up for WHSSC.
"As there is no single contract in place, securing a bed can be a lengthy process for the referring clinician and access is totally reliant on the availability of a bed," the report said.
A further document, seen by WHSSC's joint committee on Tuesday, said in many cases women choose to access local acute psychiatric services that are "not fit for purpose and lack specialist knowledge".
As the committee decided to seek further evidence, WHSSC's acting managing director Stuart Davies said: "Issues for further consideration included the availability of evidence of current outcomes, the demand for an in-patient service and the sustainability of a local unit."
A spokeswoman for WHSSC added that, given no decision had been made, all three options were still open.
The Welsh Government allocated £1.5m per year in 2015 to improve care for women with or at risk of perinatal mental health problems.
The money is being used to set up specialist community mental health services in Wales' seven health boards. | Two women died and 10 people were injured in a crash involving two taxis in South Yorkshire.

In an interview with the Reuters news agency, Mr Fico said Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia would be uncompromising in negotiations.
His comments come a day after the EU's first major meeting without the UK.
Brexit, though not formally discussed, overshadowed the Bratislava summit.
At an end of the summit on Friday, Mr Fico said that he and other Central European leaders whose citizens make up much of the EU migrant population in Britain would not let those people become "second class citizens".
But in the interview with Reuters news agency on Saturday, he went further.
"V4 [Visegrad group] countries will be uncompromising," he said. "Unless we feel a guarantee that these people are equal, we will veto any agreement between the EU and Britain."
However, a Slovak foreign ministry source told the BBC Mr Fico had been referring only to those EU citizens living in the UK at the time of the referendum.
The Czech ambassador to the UK, Libor Secka, pointed out this was not an "official statement" of the Visegrad countries' common position on their approach to Brexit negotiations.
He said that while he respected Mr Fico's opinion, it was for Poland - which holds the Visegrad presidency - to speak on behalf of the group.
"We are not going to provide a running commentary on these negotiations," said a British government spokesman when contacted by the BBC. "That approach won't help us get the best deal for Britain."
All the EU leaders have insisted there will be no formal Brexit talks until Britain triggers the two-year divorce process and says what it wants.
European Council President Donald Tusk, said the British Prime Minister Theresa May had recently told him that might be in January or February 2017.
The Bratislava summit was intended as a discussion about the best way forward, following Britain's vote to leave the bloc.
In particular, leaders tried to find common ground on the best way to deal with the numbers of migrants coming into Europe, and how to deal with the after effects of several years of economic crisis.
The Visegrad group has consistently opposed EU efforts to introduce mandatory quotas for migrants.
But in the interview, Mr Fico said the EU had shifted from a debate over mandatory quotas to a new principle of "flexible solidarity" over the migrant crisis.
He said he did not get everything he wanted, but he was happy that a debate had begun on flexible solidarity, allowing countries to offer what they can to tackle the migrant crisis.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. | A group of Central European EU members known as the Visegrad Four is ready to veto any Brexit deal that would limit people's right to work in the UK, Slovakian PM Robert Fico says. | 37,396,805 | 648 | 45 | false |
Police said a car bomb exploded outside the Banadir Beach Club in the Lido area and gunmen then stormed the building.
Security forces say they killed two attackers and arrested another after a six-hour operation overnight.
The militant Islamist group al-Shabab stages regular attacks in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia.
Earlier this year, 17 people died when the group stormed a restaurant on Lido beach.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, was ousted from Mogadishu in August 2011 but still has a presence in large areas of southern Somalia.
Frances Cappuccini suffered a "gush of blood" several hours after giving birth to second son Giacomo at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in October 2012.
Senior registrar Dr Gabriella Gray said she twice managed to stop the bleeding but there were further complications.
Last year the hospital trust and a consultant were cleared of manslaughter.
Dr Gray told the inquest she had responded alongside two other doctors to an emergency buzzer sounded for Mrs Cappuccini.
She was informed there had been a postpartum haemorrhage, she said, which led her to observe and assess the mother of two.
After a second buzzer was sounded around 90 minutes later, Dr Gray said the decision was made to take Mrs Cappuccini back to theatre because there was "ongoing" bleeding.
She discovered blood clots and removed a 4-5cm piece of placenta still in Mrs Cappuccini's womb, the inquest heard.
The 30-year-old schoolteacher also had problems breathing, "alarming high" blood-acid levels, and high CO2 retention levels, she added.
On Tuesday Mrs Cappuccini's husband Tom told the inquest she endured a 12-hour labour after hospital staff refused an elective Caesarean section.
A locum consultant anaesthetist Errol Cornish was cleared of gross negligence manslaughter and Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust was cleared of corporate manslaughter two weeks into a trial last January.
The inquest, at Gravesend Old Town Hall, continues.
Bernardo Tercero was sentenced to death in 2000 for the 1997 murder of a school teacher in Texas.
A Texas court ruled on Tuesday that the execution be postponed until an appeal is resolved.
Lawyers for Tercero said that a witness for the prosecution had come forward to say she gave false testimony. A court will now review the claim.
Tercero, 39, was found guilty of shooting dead 38-year-old teacher Robert Berger in Houston, Texas.
Mr Berger was in a dry cleaning shop when Tercero came in to rob it and shot the teacher dead in front of his three-year old daughter.
Tercero said that the gun had gone off accidentally as he struggled with Mr Berger, who tried to thwart the robbery.
But an acquaintance of Tercero's told the court that he had given her various reasons for killing Mr Berger, including that he had seen his face and would be able to identify him.
Tercero denied saying this.
According to Tercero's lawyers the witness has signed a sworn statement saying that part of her evidence was false.
They argue that Tercero was denied his rights to a fair trial and due process when the prosecution unknowingly used the false testimony to secure his conviction.
They also say that he was denied his right to speak to the Nicaraguan consulate after his arrest.
Tercero has been on death row in Texas for the past 15 years.
He was scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday at 23:00 GMT.
Nicaraguan Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes wrote to Texas Governor Greg Abbott asking for clemency for Tercero.
A spokesman for the governor said that "when anyone commits a crime in Texas, they are subject to Texas law".
Ten people have been executed in Texas so far this year.
Campaigners have claimed institutions such as the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts could be "let off the hook".
But Education Secretary Angela Constance said the scope of the inquiry was "very far reaching".
And she said religious organisations were covered when they had looked after children in a residential capacity.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has been tasked with "raising public awareness of the abuse of children in care, providing an opportunity for public acknowledgement of the suffering of those children and a forum for validation of their experience and testimony."
But survivors' organisations, who are due to meet Ms Constance on Thursday, have called for its remit to be extended amid claims that institutions such as the Catholic Church would be excluded from its investigations.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Ms Constance told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that "religious organisations and orders are included in the inquiry where they have looked after children in a residential capacity".
She said the scope of the inquiry had already been widened, and that the definitions of "in care" and "abuse" were very broad.
She added: "What we have tried to do is to try to strike the right balance.
"We want to ensure that survivors don't actually lose hope and that the inquiry will report back within a reasonable timescale - we have set four years - and actually be able to make clear and meaningful recommendations."
The inquiry has been tasked with investigating the nature and extent of abuse of children while in care in Scotland, and to consider the extent to which institutions and bodies with legal responsibility for the care of children failed in their duty of care.
When she established the inquiry last year, Ms Constance said it would "aim to shine a light in the dark corners of the past, to shape how we respond in the present and guide how we go forward in the future."
She also said that "we need to learn all we can to ensure no institution becomes a hiding place for those who abuse positions of trust to prey on children."
The inquiry's remit currently allows it to investigate cases of children being abused while in institutional care "within living memory" up to December 2014.
It classes "in care" as being:
But it does not cover children who were abused while living with their natural or adoptive families, while using sports and leisure clubs or attending faith based organisations on a day to day basis.
The inquiry will also not examine allegations of children being abused in non-boarding schools, nursery or day-care centres.
The definition of "abuse" for the purpose of the inquiry is taken to mean primarily physical abuse and sexual abuse, with associated psychological and emotional abuse.
The inquiry has been instructed to publish its report and make its recommendations by October 2019 - four years after it was established.
But the White Flowers Alba (WFA) survivors' organisation said Catholic victims were being discriminated against because the inquiry had not been given the necessary powers to investigate allegations of abuse carried out in parishes or day schools.
It has called for the inquiry's remit to be extended to match that of one being led by Justice Lowell Goddard in England and Wales, which is investigating abuse carried out within the Catholic Church and other religious orders.
WFA spokesman Andi Lavery said: "Survivors continue to suffer. Why does a child raped by a priest in Cumbria, matter more than one in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Motherwell?"
He added: "When as children we said: 'No, please stop doing that', we say together resolutely as adult abuse survivors: 'This current inquiry is not fit for purpose'."
His comments were echoed by the In Care Abuse Survivors Scotland (INCAS) group, whose spokesman Alan Draper said the inquiry should "fit the purposes of survivors, not those institutions that have failed generations of children".
Mr Draper added: "We do know, for example, that the Boy Scout organisation and the Catholic Church have failed generations of children and we asked her (Ms Constance) to extend the remit.
"She is currently letting them off the hook. This is not justice."
In a letter to Ms Constance, Mr Draper argued that this "failure" to extend the remit had effectively resulted in the government becoming complicit in the cover-up of abuse."
The attack on the government came as the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry announced special measures to prioritise the testimonies of elderly or seriously ill people.
Its chairwoman, Susan O'Brien QC, said: "We are not quite ready to issue a call to all survivors and witnesses to come forward, as we are arranging to put support in place for people who will find giving evidence upsetting.
"Unfortunately, not everyone can wait even a few more weeks, so we have decided to take evidence from a small number of survivors as a matter of urgency."
The inquiry also said it was dropping the word "historical" from its title as it was prepared to hear allegations of abuse from as recently as December 2014.
The giant block is estimated to cover an area of roughly 6,000 sq km; that's about a quarter the size of Wales.
A US satellite observed the berg on Wednesday while passing over a region known as the Larsen C Ice Shelf.
Scientists were expecting it. They'd been following the development of a large crack in Larsen's ice for more than a decade.
The rift's propagation had accelerated since 2014, making an imminent calving ever more likely.
The more than 200m-thick tabular berg will not move very far, very fast in the short term. But it will need to be monitored. Currents and winds might eventually push it north of the Antarctic where it could become a hazard to shipping.
An infrared sensor on the American space agency's Aqua satellite spied clear water in the rift between the shelf and the berg on Wednesday. The water is warmer relative to the surrounding ice and air - both of which are sub-zero.
"The rift was barely visible in these data in recent weeks, but the signature is so clear now that it must have opened considerably along its whole length," explained Prof Adrian Luckman, whose Project Midas at Swansea University has followed the berg's evolution most closely.
The event was confirmed by other spacecraft such as Europe's Sentinel-1 satellite-radar system.
How does it compare with past bergs?
The new Larsen berg is probably in the top 10 biggest ever recorded.
The largest observed in the satellite era was an object called B-15. It came away from the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000 and measured some 11,000 sq km. Six years later, fragments of this super-berg still persisted and passed by New Zealand.
In 1956, it was reported that a US Navy icebreaker had encountered an object of roughly 32,000 sq km. That is bigger than Belgium. Unfortunately, there were no satellites at the time to follow up and verify the observation.
It has been known also for the Larsen C Ice Shelf itself to spawn bigger bergs. An object measuring some 9,000 sq km came away in 1986. Many of Larsen's progeny can get wound up in a gyre in the Weddell sea or can be despatched north on currents into the Southern Ocean, and even into the South Atlantic.
A good number of bergs from this sector can end up being caught on the shallow continental shelf around the British overseas territory of South Georgia where they gradually wither away.
What is the significance of the calving?
In and of itself, probably very little. The Larsen C shelf is a mass of floating ice formed by glaciers that have flowed down off the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula into the ocean. On entering the water, their buoyant fronts lift up and join together to make a single protrusion.
The calving of bergs at the forward edge of the shelf is a very natural behaviour. The shelf likes to maintain an equilibrium and the ejection of bergs is one way it balances the accumulation of mass from snowfall and the input of more ice from the feeding glaciers on land.
That said, scientists think Larsen C is now at its smallest extent since the end of the last ice age some 11,700 years ago, and about 10 other shelves further to the north along the Peninsula have either collapsed or greatly retreated in recent decades.
The two nearby, smaller shelves, Larsen A and Larsen B, disintegrated around the turn of the century; and a warming climate very probably had a role in their demise.
But Larsen C today does not look like its siblings. Prof Helen Fricker, from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, told BBC News: "The signs we saw at Larsen A and B - we're not seeing yet. The thinning we saw for Larsen A and B - we're not seeing. And we're not seeing any evidence for large volumes of surface meltwater on the order of what you would need to hydro-fracture the ice shelf.
"Most glaciologists are not particularly alarmed by what's going on at Larsen C, yet. It's business as usual."
Researchers will be looking to see how the shelf responds in the coming years, to see how well it maintains a stable configuration, and if its calving rate changes.
There was some keen interest a while back when the crack, which spread across the shelf from a pinning point known as the Gipps Ice Rise, looked as though it might sweep around behind another such anchor called the Bawden Ice Rise. Had that happened, it could have prompted a significant speed-up in the shelf's seaward movement once the berg came off.
As it is, scientists are not now expecting a big change in the speed of the ice.
One fascinating focus for future study will be a strip of "warm", malleable ice that runs east-west through the shelf, reaching the ocean edge about 100km north from the Gipps Ice Rise. This strip is referred to as the Joerg suture zone. There is a large queue of cracks held behind it.
"Calving of the iceberg is not likely itself to make the existing cracks at the Joerg Peninsula suture zone more likely to jump across this boundary," observed Chris Borstad, from the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS).
"At this stage we really don't know whether there is some larger-scale process that might be weakening this zone, like ocean melting at the base of the shelf, or whether the current rift was just a random or episodic event that was bound to happen at some point.
"We know that rifts like this periodically propagate and cause large tabular icebergs to break from ice shelves, even in the absence of any climate-driven changes.
"I am working with a number of colleagues to design field experiments on Larsen C to answer this specific question (by measuring the properties of the Joerg suture zone directly). But until we get down there and take some more measurements we can only speculate."

The Jet2 service had been due to leave for Prague in the Czech Republic at about 15:15 BST on Good Friday.
But its departure was delayed when the cabin crew called for police assistance
The airline apologised to affected customers and said it would "not let the behaviour of a disruptive few spoil the flight for everyone else".
Stuck with stag dos: Your stories
A spokesman for the carrier said the Boeing had to return to the airport's parking stand shortly before its scheduled take-off.
Several passengers went on social media to describe the scene. One, Lauren Sian, said the group had been "damaging property, swearing and being disruptive" before they were escorted from the flight.
Ailsa Illingworth tweeted: "Stuck on the Tarmac at Manchester Airport as some idiot stags and their luggage are removed. Don't envy the jet2 staff at times like this."
Ms Illingworth, who is visiting a friend in Prague with her husband, told the BBC: "The stags were under the influence and being loud. It was only some members of each stag being disruptive. The majority of one group left, but I think a lot of the other stayed on.
"Staff were very good with the rest of the passengers, they were patient, friendly and handed out water.
"I think it is usually fun, but there is a line and these guys obviously crossed it. It was impacting on a lot of other travellers, and that's not fair. Staff shouldn't have to deal with the abuse either."
The pilot announced he had a zero tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour towards the cabin crew and police spoke to the remaining stags about their behaviour before take off, Ms Illingworth added.
Jet 2 said police arrested one passenger while two others were "issued with public order offences".
"We apologise to all other customers for the inconvenience that this has caused at the start of their bank holiday weekend.
"However, as a family-friendly airline we will not let the behaviour of a disruptive few spoil the flight for everyone else."
The flight eventually departed at 17:57 - a delay of more than two hours.
Uhuru Kenyatta added that Kenya was "20 times more wonderful" than Israel, but "all we ever do is complain".
Kenyans were also abusers, and promoted tribalism, he said, in an address to Kenyans living in Israel.
Mr Kenyatta has been accused of failing to do enough to curb corruption and of stirring up ethnic violence.
His comments were seen as an attempt to encourage Kenyans to develop their country, like Israel, says the BBC's Wanyama Chebusiri in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
He seemed to question why Kenya was lagging behind, and had to even learn about irrigation from a desert country, our correspondent adds.
However, many Kenyans believe that the president's speech was just rhetoric, and he was not serious about tackling corruption or ethnic divisions in the East African state, our reporter says.
They complain that ethnicity determines whether they get government jobs, and bribery and corruption are endemic in government, he adds.
Mr Kenyatta was accused by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of crimes against humanity for allegedly inciting ethnic violence after elections in 2007, in which more than 1,200 Kenyans were killed.
But the case was dropped in 2014 after the prosecutor's office said it did not have enough evidence against him.
He always denied the charges.

Koeman last month warned the England international, 23, that with a year left on his deal he could be sold.
Everton face Watford on Friday before finishing their Premier League campaign at Arsenal on Sunday, 21 May.
"Either he accepts the contract or we sell the player," said Koeman.
"But if you need so much time then you have doubts - I like to work with players who like to stay."
The Dutchman said the Everton board had tried "for a long time" to get Barkley to sign and were already looking at replacements in attacking positions.
He added: "We don't wait till August - next weekend we need an answer."
Barkley has scored four goals and provided eight assists in 34 Premier League appearances this season.
BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty:
Koeman has used tough love to get the best out of Barkley this season - from public criticism, removal at half-time at Sunderland, praise for improvement but then back to dropping him at Swansea City last weekend. The latest message was just tough - no love involved.
Ruthless and pragmatic, the Everton boss delivered the ultimatum with the air of a man who would not lose a single second of sleep should he have to sell Barkley, making it clear he questions his long-term commitment because of his apparent reluctance to sign a new deal.
Barkley now faces a dilemma. The boyhood Everton fan seems to believe the grass might be greener elsewhere, perhaps for Champions League football at Tottenham. But would Barkley even get in a Spurs team that already has Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen? Could he risk being a bench-warmer with a World Cup looming and England looking certain to qualify?
For Koeman's part, this unsentimental and single-minded individual clearly believes Barkley has had long enough to decide if he wants to stay at Everton and if he wishes to leave seems perfectly content to show him the door.
High winds have whipped up desert sands, severely reducing visibility and causing residents to suffer breathing difficulties.
The storm has led to flight diversions from Dubai's International Airport, leaving many passengers stranded.
Abu Dhabi police say the storm has caused a serious traffic accident and forecasters predict it could last days.
Although sandstorms are not unusual in the region, the extreme weather has shocked some locals.
"Last time, I have seen [a storm], it was not up to this," said one Dubai resident. "I felt very bad, and I hear that there were some accidents already on Dubai's roads."
Abu Dhabi police say a 24-year-old has been airlifted to hospital after being seriously injured in the traffic accident caused by the reduced visibility.
The United Arab Emirates' National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology warned of reduced visibility of as little as 500 meters.
Butler won the IBF world title from 37-year-old Hall on a split decision in Newcastle in 2014.
The winner of the re-match in Liverpool on 30 September will be in line to challenge for the WBA title, held by another Briton, Jamie McDonnell.
"If I lose this that's boxing finished for me, I'm retiring." Hall said.
"But I feel like this is just the start. Jamie McDonnell - that's the fight I've wanted."
It is not the first time that retirement has crossed Hall's mind, having previously said he would consider his future after his IBF title fight defeat by Lee Haskins last September.
Hall returned to the ring last month by outpointing Jose Aguilar and his second meeting with Butler represents the chance to avenge his previous loss to the 28-year-old.
"I'm buzzing, there's no pressure on me," he told BBC Tees.
"I don't want it going to the judges, I'm going to do everything in my power to knock him out."
Butler stopped Mexico's Carlos Ruben Ruiz in his most recent contest and has a record of 24 wins and only one defeat.
He will have home advantage for the re-match with Hall, who he says will be walking into "the lions' den".
Butler told BBC Merseyside: "I went to his backyard and took the title off him. This time I plan on doing a right number on him."
Fifa ethics investigators are likely to have recommended the sanctions over a "disloyal payment" that saw Platini, 60, receive £1.35m from Blatter, 79.
There was no written contract for the consultation-work payment, which Platini received nine years later.
The adjudicatory committee intends to announce its verdict by Christmas.
Both Blatter and Platini, who is also the president of European football's governing body Uefa, are serving 90-day provisional bans. The pair have denied any wrongdoing, stating they had an "oral contract" for the work.
However, they are thought to be facing additional charges including mismanagement, false accounting and failure to co-operate with the ethics committee.
The adjudicatory committee, led by German judge Hans Joachim Eckert, opened proceedings on Monday, although a verdict will not be announced until next month at the earliest.
Fifa said the reports had been studied "carefully" but that it would not publish details of the sanctions requested, though its ethics investigatory committee is likely to have pushed for a minimum seven-year ban for both Blatter and Platini.
This is based on the similar length of time that Harold Mayne Nicholls - the man who wrote the technical inspection reports for 2018 and 2022 World Cup candidate nations - received for breaching "conflict of interest" rules.
Meanwhile, Platini, who still hopes to replace Blatter as the next Fifa president in the February election, has taken his case against his suspension to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Swiss Blatter, who has had recent heath problems and claimed on Monday that he had been "close to dying", is also likely to appeal to Cas.
Frenchman Platini wants his suspension overturned, his case heard quickly and his ban lifted pending Eckert's final judgement.

Our very own doubles team, Ricky and Hayley, went to check out what fashion on the court can do for your game.
Bowe scored two tries in the 47-17 win over Zebre on 16 April, his first appearance of the season for Ulster after being ruled out by the injury since the Rugby World Cup in October.
Number eight Nick Williams has played his last game for the province.
Williams will undergo surgery on his shoulder injury this week.
The Kiwi back-rower has been unsuccessful in his bid to rehabilitate his recent shoulder injury and will undergo surgery to repair a labral tear.
The former Pro12 player of the season will miss the remainder of the season and will turn out for Cardiff Blues in the next campaign.
These two latest injury setbacks will come as a major blow to Ulster coach Les Kiss, who is already faced with a lengthy list of absentees.

Prop Wiehahn Herbst has begun to reintegrate into team training sessions and the province's medical staff are confident he will be available for selection within the next two weeks.
Full-back Louis Ludik remains unavailable for selection as he continues his recovery from a groin injury, while Ian Humphreys has seen a spinal specialist and had a recent injection for his ongoing back injury.
Second row Alan O'Connor had surgery 10 days ago following his recent shoulder dislocation, but is expected to be fit for the beginning of next season.
Centre Sammy Arnold is continuing rehabilitation from a hamstring injury but is unlikely to be available for the remainder of the campaign.
Dan Tuohy (ankle), Peter Nelson and Willie Faloon (both midfoot) continue to rehab their respective season-ending injuries.
Ulster lie fourth in the Pro12 table ahead of their final two fixtures against Leinster and the Ospreys.
The pilot said the decision to return to Perth 90 minutes after leaving was made because of "technical issues" with the passenger plane.
"I could tell by the cabin crew's reaction that it was really bad," passenger Sophie Nicolas told ABC News.
The plane landed safely at 10:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Sunday.
"I was crying a lot, a lot of people were crying, trying to call their mums and stuff but we couldn't really do anything just wait and trust the captain," Ms Nicolas told ABC, adding: "Everybody burst into applause when we landed."
Police said marine emergency services north of Perth were put on standby to prepare for a possible water landing, the news network reports.
A number of passengers on board the budget flight said the plane had suffered an "engine seizure" causing it to shake.
AirAsia X did not give details about the technical issue behind the incident.
In a statement, it said the safety of passengers was "our utmost priority".
Earlier this month an Airbus A330 belonging to China Eastern Airlines was forced to make an emergency landing in Sydney after a huge hole appeared in one of its engine casings.
Several terrified passengers later described hearing a very loud noise soon after leaving Sydney for Shanghai. Images were posted on social media showing the extent of the damage.
In December 2014, an AirAsia plane crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people on board after the aircraft's rudder control system malfunctioned during the flight.
Jack Gordon from Corsemalzie Estate near Port William was one of Scotland's leading ornithologists.
He spent a lifetime meticulously researching local bird life but died in 1938 before it could go to print.
His notes survived and RSPB regional manager Chris Rollie and co-editor Richard Mearns have now published them.
Mr Rollie said Birds of Wigtownshire remained relevant to this day.
"It always makes sense to consider information in the current context against what happened in the past," he said.
"It provides a fascinating insight, not only into the birds and their numbers but into the land use and the changes in land use that have happened in Wigtownshire over that period."
Mr Gordon left five ring-bound volumes and a huge range of other notes which have been pieced together to produce the book.
"He was very, very thorough in everything he did but in particular in getting information from any source he could," said Mr Rollie.
"That included shooters, gamekeepers, the aristocracy, lighthouse keepers, country people and well-known ornithologists of the day as well.
"He meticulously gathered all that information together and his life work became setting this down."
The co-editors said they hoped they had done justice to the author's work.
"I hope that he would have been very pleased that we have completed that work because this was clearly his magnum opus," said Mr Rollie.
"He did many things, published various articles in various journals but clearly this was his big project.
"I think it is great that it has been brought to fruition now for posterity."
The plane, carrying Chapecoense to what had been billed as the biggest match in their history, came down on Monday.
Brazilian daily Meia Hora's football pitch emoji symbolises the sad end to the fairytale rise of Chapecoense, a small club from the southern town of Chapeco.
The Rio daily Extra portrays a tragic twist to Chapecoense's green strip.
"Who understands?", asks Brazil's Correio Braziliense. It says the face of a young Chapecoense fan "reflects the feeling of millions of people" following the crash that killed 71.
Brazil's Folha de Sao Paulo shows residents of Chapeco at a special Mass for the victims of the plane crash.
"A major tragedy in football" is the headline of Brazil's Agora newspaper.
"And somewhere between the stars..." reads the headline of Brazilian paper Correio Braziliense's cartoon featuring the team's logo in a night sky.
"Forever Champions" is the headline of Colombia's El Espectador, which says that the Chapeco stadium has become a centre for tributes to the team.
"Chain of errors likely cause of plane tragedy", says Colombia's Vanguardia.
"Farewell champions" reads the headline of El Pilon, below a team photo of Chapecoense.

The money will cover a visit for at least two Year 10 pupils and a teacher from each post-primary school in Northern Ireland.
The Department of Education and Department for Communities are jointly funding "the battlefields project."
Education Minister Peter Weir said the scheme would help young people learn more about "the realities of war."
The project is now open for schools to express an interest in, with the first trips to take place in June 2017.
Mr Weir said that he hoped schools from all sectors would apply to take part.
"This scheme will be open to children from all backgrounds and is a unique opportunity to learn about our past," he said.
"Millions of people lost their lives during the First World War and that must never be forgotten."
"That is why I believe it is so important that our young people should be encouraged to remember those who died."
Pupils will visit battlefields in Belgium and France like the Somme, where thousands of soldiers from Ireland died.
The battle of the Somme lasted from July to November 1916 and cost more than a million casualties on all sides.
Communities Minister Paul Givan said that the scheme would give pupils a better understanding of the sacrifice that so many men made.
"They will be able to visit places of significance to our community memory including cemeteries, memorials, battle remains and museums.
"It also gives young people in Northern Ireland the same opportunity as schools in England who are already receiving financial support to visit the battlefields."
The scheme will be administered by the Education Authority, who have written to all schools inviting them to express an interest in taking part.
It means GB will head to the Rio Paralympic Games this summer with the full contingent of six boat places.
Emma Wiggs won gold in the women's KL2 200 with Nicola Paterson second.
Anne Dickins took KL3 200 gold while there was KL1 200 silver for Jeanette Chippington and bronze medals for Nick Beighton and Martin Tweedie.
Beighton was competing in men's KL2 200 final, and Tweedie in the men's VL3 200.
Steve Harris, British Canoeing's paracanoe programme manager said: "The main aim coming here was to qualify the remaining two quota places, so to do so is fantastic."
Wood converted Pablo Hernandez's quick free-kick before half-time, although the visitors felt defender Bailey Wright had been fouled in the build-up.
Hernandez doubled Leeds' advantage when his deflected shot beat Fabian Giefer.
Milan Djuric scored a last-gasp consolation for City, who lost striker Tammy Abraham to a first-half injury.
But Garry Monk's side were worthy winners, ending their two-game losing run to strengthen their position in the play-off places.
Their margin of victory may have been even greater if Wood had not wasted a fine opportunity after rounding Giefer, while Leeds also had strong appeals for a penalty against Aden Flint turned down.
The Robins' misery was compounded when top goalscorer Abraham, on loan from Premier League leaders Chelsea, limped off injured during the opening period.
City have now won just two of their last 17 Championship matches and remain 20th, while Leeds are fifth, six points clear of seventh-placed Norwich City.
Leeds head coach Garry Monk:
"It was a good response and pleasing to get the three points. There was a little bit more pressure and expectancy on us to get the result tonight.
"It was the first time we had suffered back-to-back defeats since the start of the season, so we are happy to get the win.
"I thought we did very well in the first half in particular and we are pleased to get back on track."
Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson:
"The first goal is always going to be big, especially at a big away club like this. The first goal is a clear foul. Wood has clipped Bailey Wright's heels and pushed him in the back."
"Tammy Abraham has done something to his thigh. He'll have a scan over the next day or two.
"Tammy is gutted because he feels like it might be a bad one but hopefully that won't be the case."

Following a derby defeat by Manchester City last weekend and the midweek Europa League loss to Feyenoord, Mourinho and United have had a rough eight days.
It is the first time Mourinho has lost three consecutive games in a season since February 2002, when he was Porto boss.
But the self-proclaimed "Special One", who has won eight league titles across Europe and the Champions League twice, has now lost 11 of his past 21 Premier League games in charge of Chelsea and Manchester United.
Mourinho made five changes to his starting line-up from the trip to the Netherlands, with Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic restored to the side, but United were disorganised and ineffective, particularly in the first half.
The United boss looked unhappy with the home side's opening goal, feeling Anthony Martial was fouled by Miguel Britos, but he will surely need to look more closely at his own side's failings as they drifted six points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Rooney, Ibrahimovic and £89m Paul Pogba all struggled to make an impact on the game and at the back United failed to cope with Watford's energetic pressing and the crosses from wing-backs Janmaat and Jose Holebas.
Pogba, who returned to Old Trafford from Juventus in the summer, continued to look far from being the most expensive player in the world, although he was deployed in a deep midfield role alongside Fellaini that did little to get he best out of the France international.
He did have United's best effort in the first half, hitting a 25-yard dipping shot that struck the crossbar.
But his attacking talents were wasted so far away from the opposition's goal and, after starting the past five games, Mourinho will have to consider dropping Pogba or changing his system to accommodate the 23-year-old.
While most of Mourinho's side toiled, the rise of Rashford continued, as the 18-year-old England striker scored on his first Premier League start of the season, taking his tally to 10 in 23 games.
He even started the move for his goal, playing a one-two with Ibrahimovic, whose cross dropped to Rashford's feet for an easy finish from five yards out.
Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri, who managed Zuniga at Napoli, leapt for joy when the midfielder applied the finish to Roberto Pereya's cut-back with his first touch.
Mazzarri had numerous run-ins with Mourinho during their time in Italy - with former Inter manager Mourinho saying the Italian was a hard-working "donkey" that would "never become a thoroughbred".
Mazzarri, who took over at Vicarage Road in the summer, insisted before the game that he and the Portuguese get on fine now, but he could not hide his delight when his side went 2-1 up and danced on the side of the pitch.
With numerous chances in the first half, including an open goal for Odion Ighalo after keeper David de Gea dropped the ball, Mazzarri's men should have been further ahead at the break, but scored a thoroughly deserved opener when Martial was dispossessed and Janmaat teed up Capoue.
Watford looked like their pressing game had taken the energy out of their performance as United improved in the second half, but they responded late on for their second win of the season and first at home.
Watford boss Walter Mazzarri:
"It is a very important three points to give my players the confidence to go ahead.
"We were playing well, we conceded a goal and we stop playing. We were afraid then we made the changes and everything went the right way - it is something we need to work on.
"I don't look too much at results but how we play. We have been improving dramatically."
And what about a drink with Mourinho after the game? "If he has time we will do it. We spoke before the game - even one day next week we can go out for dinner."

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho:
"I reflect on three factors from the match, but only one of them I can improve.
"The first factor depends on ourselves, it relates to our individual mistakes and collective mistakes as individual players and as a team. We have to improve something, it is in our hands.
"At 1-1 everyone thinks we are going to win the game. We were showing complete control, intensity, creation.
"But their second goal is a mistake that goes against our plan and our training, because our intention was for their wing-backs to be pressed and not let them progress.
"And what happened was the guy gets the ball 20-25 metres away from our box and instead of being pressed, we give him the space to progress. Nordin Amrabat receives the ball and our left-back Luke Shaw is 25 metres from him instead of five.
"The second factor is the referee and I can't control their mistakes.
"The third factor is luck, we didn't have it. We were the best team when we lost."

Pippa McManus, 15, weighed about 4st (25kg) when she was being treated at The Priory in Altrincham.
She was released in December 2015 and later died after stepping in front of a train near Stockport.
A lack of support available to her family contributed to her death, Stockport Coroner's Court heard.
The jury returned a conclusion of suicide but found the care plan when Ms McManus was discharged was inadequate and there was not enough communication with the family about her suicide risk.
Inadequate community care and specialist support and a lack of cohesiveness amongst agencies were also contributory factors to her death, the court heard.
Speaking after the conclusion, her mother Marie said there should have been more help available and "too many of our children are dying from this terrible illness".
"Effective treatment is needed more quickly and if this had been available to our beautiful daughter, maybe she would still be alive today, maybe we would not have needed this inquest," she said.
Paula Stanford, hospital director at The Priory, said: "Our heartfelt sympathies are with Pip's family and we will now carefully consider the findings of the jury."
During the inquest, the hospital said her anorexia was one of the most severe cases it had seen.
The coroner, Andrew Bridgman, said he will write to all of the agencies involved in her care.
The inquest heard Ms McManus had a history of self-harming and had previously written a number of goodbye notes to her family, doctor, and The Priory hospital.
By the age of 13, she had been diagnosed with severe anorexia and was obsessed with diet and exercise and in September 2014, was sectioned and treated at The Priory.
She was released in December 2015, by which time she was not considered high risk, though she remained under hospital care.
But following a family row five days later, the teenager walked to Gatley train station near her home and killed herself.
Her father, Jim, said his daughter's anorexia "had too strong of a grip."
"She used to say she had bad thoughts and wasn't allowed to do things - she couldn't even lick an ice-cream. She'd turn around and say I'm not allowed.
"Whatever was going on in her head was so strong she just couldn't comply."
Her mother, Marie, said it "was just horrific" and "a nightmare."
"[Pippa] hated herself. She thought she was the ugliest person in the world. Whatever you said, it didn't make a difference because that's what the anorexia was telling her.
"We needed some trained mental health workers to work with us but they weren't there to do that... We were let down by everybody I think. Everybody had a part to play."
Deborah Coles, director of INQUEST, a charity that supported the family during the court process, said her parents' "concerns were dismissed and minimised throughout".
"Pip's death has exposed a mental health system which pushed through the discharge of a highly vulnerable child without any of the support or care in place to make sure she would be safe," she said.
Jim White told BBC Radio Wales: "This is a sale of shares, there's no other way to describe it at the moment.
"The reality is we have not seen any details of investment."
Ex-Swans assistant boss Colin Pascoe said the club have been "frightened" into seeking new investors.
Swansea confirmed after Saturday's 1-0 win over Chelsea that American businessmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan are looking to take a "controlling interest" in the club.
The Swans hope an agreement, reported to be worth up to £100m, will be reached in a matter of weeks.
"We believe we have a proposal which helps Swansea progress both on and off the field," said chairman Huw Jenkins.
Pascoe, who was also assistant boss to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, worked under American owners at Anfield.
"It would have been a massive decision for Huw Jenkins to take to sell, they [the board] have achieved so much," Pascoe told BBC Radio Wales.
"But to compete in the Premier League, you need the money, everything is inflated.
"This year may have frightened Swansea, things haven't gone right on the pitch.
"Maybe they feel they don't want to be in this position again, so they need investment."
However, the supporters trust's White feels a lack of information means it is unclear whether the move would lead to increased spending power for the 2013 League Cup winners, who have been linked to overseas investment before.
"We have not been party - and are disappointed about that - to the same level of information as other shareholders have had, but from what we have seen, this is a share sale," he added.
"We know the club needs to move forward, the trust is not against investment, we know the club needs to move on and progress.
"But we have not seen any details or further information around investment as such.
"No one doubts investment is needed, but look at Leicester City - they have a similar wage bill to what we at the Swans have.
"They have shown you can compete without billions of pounds."
The Trust currently own a 21% stake in the club.
White says the trust wants to be reassured that they are not going to be squeezed out of the club in the long term.
"What we understand is the new owners are looking for a 75.1% share in the club and in the UK, under company law, when you get to that, then you can start to make other decisions that hold sway over other shareholders," he explained.
"So I guess we are looking for assurances. For example, what could happen, is any new owners could continue to issue new shares.
"If they were to do that and the trust, as the major share holder left in that case, couldn't match that investment, the trust could be diluted and eventually diluted pretty much out of existence.
"That is the type of condition we are looking to prevent in any agreement with the new owners and that's the kind of thing we are looking to get protection on."
It will mark the first time stalls within and around the venue are not selling any meat products.
The singer and animal activist said: "I don't look upon it as a victory for me, but a victory for the animals."
The venue and promoter Goldenvoice will also donate a portion of the ticket sales to the UK-branch of charity Peta.
The decision came after the former Smiths singer urged the venue to close down their McDonald's outlets and to banish the sale of "flesh as food".
The 53-year-old star recently postponed a string of concerts due to a bleeding ulcer.
He resumes his US tour on 26 February with a performance on Live with Jimmy Kimmel.
It is not the first time Morrissey has asked venues hosting his gigs to take meat off the menu.
The animal rights activist walked off stage at the Coachella festival in California in 2009 after saying he could smell "burning flesh".
Weymouth Pavilion Community Interest Company (CIC) and Greenhill Community Trust have been granted 30-year leases by the borough council.
The latter will take over the running of Greenhill chalets, gardens, tennis courts, putting green and cafe.
Councillors have agreed to pay £250,000 to repair Weymouth pavilion's roof.
Weymouth and Portland borough councillor James Farquarson, said the building - which had been ear-marked for demolition four years ago - had not been a "top priority" for the council and it had suffered.
He said the lease would allow the group to apply for grants to carry out repairs and the pavilion now had "a good future ahead of it".
Councillor Andy Blackwood said deteriorating metalwork in some of the beach huts was a "major concern".
However, he added the authority was handing over responsibility for management and maintenance to the trust "in the hope it will secure the future of the chalets".
Weymouth Pavilion CIC has not yet responded to a BBC request for comment.
Net income at the company fell to $223.8m (£145m) in the three months to September, down from $331.8m a year earlier, while Barbie doll sales fell by 4%.
The stronger dollar also hurt revenue from overseas markets.
The chief executive, Christopher Sinclair, said the results were "broadly in line" with expectations.
The company has been struggling as children increasingly turn to electronic games and tablets. This is the eighth consecutive quarter of declining sales for the 56-year-old Barbie brand.
"We're very encouraged by the progress we are making on reenergizing the company," Mr Sinclair said.
"As we continue our turnaround efforts, we remain comfortable with our full-year outlook."
Nearly half of Mattel's revenue came from international markets last year and Mr Sinclair expects the strong dollar to "continue to be a headwind".
Gabriel, 24, was sent off by referee Mike Dean for violent conduct after a clash with Chelsea's Diego Costa during the 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal appealed successfully against a three-match ban for the red card.
The charge related to the Brazilian failing to leave the pitch immediately after being sent off.
Chelsea striker Costa, meanwhile, was found guilty of violent conduct and banned for three matches following an altercation with Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny.
ECB President, Mario Draghi has already indicated another stimulus package could be unveiled as soon as March.
The figures from the European Union's statistics office, Eurostat showed consumer prices were up 0.4% in January compared with a year earlier.
It is double the rate of inflation in December.
In the year to January energy prices fell 5.3% although that was less steep than in previous months.
Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose to 1% from 0.9% in December.
The ECB has taken drastic steps to try to bolster price growth.
Is deflation such a bad thing?
It has introduced negative interest rates, which means commercial banks have to pay it to keep their money rather than the reverse.
This is designed to encourage banks to lend money, rather than sitting on cash.
It has also spent billions buying assets from banks, under its quantitative easing programme, to push more money into the economy.
What is quantitative easing?
In December, the ECB extended its €60bn-a-month stimulus programme by six months to March 2017.
Timo del Carpio, European economist at RBC Capital Markets, said: "Rather than representing the start of a convincing, upward trend, we view today's upturn as a transitory hiccup in an otherwise lifeless path for inflation."
Fluctuating oil prices will continue to create uncertainty about price growth in the months to come.
At the beginning of 2016, oil prices plunged on the back of concerns about the Chinese economy, global trade, uncertainty in the Middle East and oversupply.
Oil prices have recovered slightly following speculation that the Opec cartel and other suppliers are considering cuts to production.

Moore has yet to make his debut for the Cod Army, having signed for the club in February last year.
He will be available for Torquay's trip to Aldershot on Saturday.

In the letter, he urges the rich to change their lifestyles to avert the destruction of the ecosystem.
Environmentalists hope the message will spur on nations ahead of the UN climate conference in Paris in December.
But parts of the document, leaked earlier this week, have already been criticised by some US conservatives.
It has been dismissed by two Republican presidential candidates.
The encyclical, named "Laudato Si (Be Praised), On the Care of Our Common Home", aims to inspire everyone - not just Roman Catholics - to protect the Earth.
The 192-page letter, which is the highest level teaching document a pope can issue, lays much of the blame for global warming on human activities.
Pope Francis writes that: "We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will.
"The violence present in our hearts, wounded by sin, is also reflected in the symptoms of sickness evident in the soil, in the water, in the air and in all forms of life."
He criticises what he calls a "collective selfishness", but says that there is still time to stop the damage, calling for an end to consumerism and greed.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi launched the pontiff's second encyclical at a news conference on Thursday.
The teaching is more evidence of a pontiff determined to act as a catalyst for change, and a powerful diplomatic player on the world stage, says the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt.
The release comes six months before international leaders gather in Paris to try to seal a deal to reduce carbon emissions.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the document, saying climate change was a "moral issue requiring respectful dialogue with all parts of society".
It has also been widely praised by environmental groups, with WWF president Yolanda Kakabadse saying it "adds a much-needed moral approach'' to the debate on climate change.
Greenpeace leader Kumi Naidoo highlighted passages calling for policies that reduce carbon emissions, including by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
But a leak of the document, published by Italy's L'Espresso magazine on Tuesday, had a frosty response from sceptical conservatives in America, including two Roman Catholic presidential candidates.
Jeb Bush said he did not get his economic policy from his bishops, cardinals or pope - so why his policy on the environment?
Meanwhile Rick Santorum questioned whether the Pope was credible on the issue of climate science.
US Senator, Jim Inhofe, chairman of the US Senate Environment Committee, said he disagreed with the Pope's "philosophy" on global warming.
"I am concerned that his encyclical will be used by global warming alarmists to advocate for policies that will equate to the largest, most regressive tax increase in our nation's history."
However, many academics have welcomed the pontiff's input.
Prof Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science at the University of Oxford in the UK, said: "If Pope Francis can't speak up for our unborn grandchildren, then God help us all."
The UN's climate change chief Christiana Figueres says the Pope's message will influence talks in Paris this year on a deal to tackle global warming.
Developing countries are demanding firmer promises of financial help from rich countries so they can adapt to inevitable changes in the climate and get clean energy to avoid contributing to further warming.
Ms Figueres said their position would be strengthened by the Pope's insistence that this was the clear moral responsibility of the rich.
The encyclical will be welcomed by poor countries in Africa and Latin America.
The big question is how it will play in the USA, where it has already been dismissed by a Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who is a Catholic.
Leading Republicans have warned the UN that they will undo President Barack Obama's climate policies - so if the encyclical sways any of the conservative Catholics in Congress that could prove significant.
Smokers caught flicking their stub on the pavement now face a €68 (£50) fine.
An estimated 350 tonnes of cigarettes are discarded on the streets of Paris each year, city officials say.
France's ban on smoking in public places was extended to include bars and restaurants in 2008. About 28% of people in France are regular smokers - a relatively high rate for the EU.
Some observers say the ban in bars and restaurants has increased littering as smokers are forced outside.
Cigarette butts can take years to decompose, during which time they release heavy metals and pollutants.
"These toxic substances are harmful to surrounding flora and fauna, and when swept or thrown into gutters they also pollute the water," the city authorities said in a statement.
On Thursday, the fine for dropping cigarette butts increased from €35 to €68.
Other measures planned for the city include distributing some 15,000 pocket ashtrays free of charge to Parisians and visitors.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo has made it her mission to target "incivility" on the capital's streets, boosting powers for officials to fine people for anti-social behaviour and setting out plans to banish cars in certain areas.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the high rate of tobacco use in Europe means that it has one of the highest proportions globally of deaths caused by smoking.
It says more people smoke in France than EU member states including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
Spain and Greece have higher rates, according to its report.
Tobacco kills more than 73,000 people in France every year, according to the ministry of health.
The 23-year-old joined the Magpies for £12m from the French side last summer.
However, he made just 16 appearances before ending the season back on loan at Marseille.

Under-20s coach Murty, 42, has been in charge of the Ibrox first team since Mark Warburton's departure this month.
He has won one and lost one of his two games in charge.
"The feeling will be and has been that I'm going to take this period to assess whether I am cut out for it or not," Murty said.
"I don't mean in terms of tactical or technical knowledge, just in terms of temperament, whether this is an environment I want to operate in or whether I want to be more of a developmental person.
"But I will take my own time in assessing that."

Murty was animated on the touchline as Rangers lost 2-1 at Dundee on Sunday, seven days after beating Greenock Morton by the same scoreline in the Scottish Cup.
At one point, the former Scotland defender crouched to the ground and ended up standing on his head as he bemoaned a missed chance.
"I normally transition out of that into a handstand and it normally looks quite smooth," he joked.
"I was certain we had just got back to 2-2, and I kind of wanted just to curl up into a ball and hide, and it didn't turn out that way.
"Personally, I am absolutely mortified but professionally I think I have larger concerns than how I looked on the sideline.
"If you ask any football person, this game grips you. It gets you deep in your soul, and the way you express that depends on the person.

"At that moment in time, that's the way it came out. As I grow more experienced and I decide whether I want to do this full-time or not, I'm sure I will have much better control over it.
"Imagine what would have happened if we had scored?"
Rangers, who visit Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Friday, have reportedly held interviews to fill both the manager's job and a director of football post.
And Murty explained: "They [the club] have not put any timescale or any pressure on me, the only communication I have had from all members of the board is: 'Keep doing what you are doing, can we help you at all?' So that's been great.
"If it's tomorrow that it changes, if it's next week, whenever it is, I will just be continuing on and making sure I do the best for the players.
"It's a great opportunity for me to take my coaching to another level."
The 22-year-old has joined on a one-year deal with the option of a second, and is Barrow's sixth summer signing.
He started his career at Fulham before moving to QPR where he failed to make a first-team appearance.
Fitzpatrick moved to Wimbledon in 2014 but only played 13 games, and had a loan spell in the National League with Torquay last term, scoring three goals.

The British Olympic heptathlon champion, 29, was racing for the first time since July 2013 following injuries and the birth of her son, Reggie.
Tiffany Porter won in 12.86 seconds, with fellow Briton Lucy Hatton second and Ennis-Hill third in 13.14.
Olympic champion Greg Rutherford won the long jump with a leap of 8.01m.

Ennis-Hill, who claimed gold at the London 2012 Olympics, is targeting the defence of her title in Rio next year.
But her preparations have been hampered by a recurring Achilles problem.
Returning to the track in a four-woman field in her favourite discipline, Ennis-Hill was always unlikely to challenge European champion Porter, but she declared herself satisfied with her performance in front of an appreciative crowd on Deansgate.
"You always put pressure on as an athlete, and that can take the enjoyment and fun out of it, but I enjoyed that," Ennis-Hill told BBC Sport.
"I loved soaking up the atmosphere. It's a starting point. I'm a bit disappointed to not get sub-13 but I can build on this and get sharp."
In the women's 200m hurdles, Ennis-Hill's heptathlon rival Katarina Johnson-Thompson was pipped to the line by her fellow Briton Meghan Beesley.
Beesley won the event for the second year in a row in 25.28 seconds, just 0.03 secs ahead of European Indoor pentathlon champion Johnson-Thompson.
"It's a bit daunting - it just looks so far up the straight," said Johnson-Thompson after running the distance for the first time. "But it's a bit of fun and I got there in the end."
In the women's 150m, Britain's Dina Asher-Smith pulled off a surprise victory over European 100m and 200m champion Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands.
Asher-Smith pulled away in the closing stages of the race to win in 16.82 seconds.
Rutherford, who will look to add the world title to his Olympic, European and Commonwealth crowns later this year, won the long jump with his first leap of the competition.
"You always want to jump further but the weather conditions aren't great," he said. "I just couldn't quite get what I wanted. I love doing these events when you are so close to the crowd and it's always good to win."
Michael Rodgers of the United States won the men's 100m in 10.25 secs, with Britain's Richard Kilty 0.04 secs behind in second.
The slab of ice separated from the Petermann Glacier, on the north-west coast of Greenland.
It is the largest Arctic iceberg to calve since 1962, said Prof Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware.
The ice could become frozen in place over winter or escape into the waters between Greenland and Canada.
If the iceberg moves south, it could interfere with shipping, Prof Muenchow said.
Cracks in the Petermann Glacier had been observed last year and it was expected that an iceberg would calve from it soon.
The glacier is 1,000 km (620 miles) south of the North Pole.
A researcher at the Canadian Ice Service detected the calving from Nasa satellite images taken early on Thursday, the professor said.
The images showed that Petermann Glacier lost about one-quarter of its 70km-long (43-mile) floating ice shelf.
There was enough fresh water locked up in the ice island to "keep all US public tap water flowing for 120 days," said Prof Muenchow.
He said it was not clear if the event was due to global warming.
Patrick Lockerby, a UK engineer with a background in material science, told the BBC he had predicted the calve on 22 July, posting images on the science2.0 website.
"I was watching the floating ice tongue wedged between two walls of a fjord for three quarters if its length with the last part at the outlet end wedged by sea ice. I thought once the sea ice was gone, the pressure would be too great and the tongue would calve."
He said there could be a beneficial outcome if the calving drifts to block the Nares Strait and effectively prevents the loss of more ice from the Lincoln Sea.
The first six months of 2010 have been the hottest on record globally, scientists have said.
The Supreme Court will hear an appeal by the UK government against a High Court ruling that Theresa May must consult Parliament over the process.
Counsel General Mick Antoniw welcomed news of the permission to intervene.
He said it was not about whether the UK leaves the EU, but to "reinforce the importance of Parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law".
The UK government claims that the prime minister can invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to launch the formal two-year process of leaving the European Union using crown prerogative.
But Welsh and Scottish ministers have objected, claiming the same method could be used to undermine devolution unless the appeal fails.
"This case raises issues of profound importance not only in relation to the concept of Parliamentary Sovereignty but also in relation to the wider constitutional arrangements of the United Kingdom and the legal framework for devolution," said Mr Antoniw, AM for Pontypridd and the Welsh Government's senior legal adviser.
"This case is not about whether the UK leaves the EU or not," he added.
"The people have voted for the UK to leave the EU, and the UK will leave.
"The sole legal question at issue is whether the UK government can, as a matter of constitutional law, use the prerogative powers to give notice of withdrawal from the European Union.
"In the Supreme Court, the Welsh Government will seek to reinforce the importance of Parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law: core, established principles of British constitutional law."
At the original hearing, lawyers for the Welsh and Scottish governments had been allowed a watching brief but today they've been given permission to take part.
They will have the opportunity to put before the court their concerns and they won't necessarily be the same issues.
For me, the real surprise today would have been if the Supreme Court had said to the Welsh and Scottish governments "no, you can't take part".
It would have been pretty unthinkable for the Supreme Court when considering probably the important constitutional issue to affect the UK in the last 100 years to refuse to hear the views of two of the United Kingdom's governments.
Neil Hamilton, the leader of UKIP in Wales, said it was "fair enough" for the devolved administrations to have their say in court, but he believed too much legal "mumbo-jumbo" was getting in the way of Brexit.
"The people of the UK and Wales have voted for Brexit. No ifs, no buts. What is the point of another vote in the House of Commons?" he asked.
"The Supreme Court should give effect to the decision of the British people".
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "What's important is that the UK government is allowed to trigger Article 50 by the end of March, so that we can begin the process of negotiating our withdrawal from the EU.
"I think that most people just want the prime minister's team to get on with the job now, whatever side of the debate they were on during the campaign."
Plaid Cymru's external affairs spokesman Steffan Lewis welcomed the development, saying: "Wales' voice must be heard as crucial decisions are taken over our country's future."
The Supreme Court is expected to start its deliberations on 5 December. The case will take about four days with a ruling in the new year.
Mr Antoniw will not take part himself but will be represented by leading counsel Richard Gordon QC and junior counsel Tom Pascoe.
A spokesperson for the UK government said: "It is a matter for the Supreme Court which applications to intervene are accepted.
"The UK government's position remains the same, and we will be taking strong legal arguments to court next month."
The park's new Galactica ride, which simulates space travel using virtual reality headsets, came to a halt at the Staffordshire theme park on Monday.
Twenty-eight riders were stuck lying face down near the top of the highest drop of 20m (66ft) for 20 minutes.
A spokeswoman for Alton Towers said heavy rain had obscured a sensor and the ride automatically stopped.
"This is a standard safety feature on this ride and the ride was working exactly as it is designed to do," she said.
Amelia Watkins, from Shrewsbury, had attended the theme park with a friend the day before her 14th birthday.
Her mother Debbie went to meet them at Galactica and watched as the ride was halted.
She said: "I thought 'oh dear they're up there'. I could see all these people just hanging there."
The friends said they were able to take off their virtual reality headsets when they felt the carriage stop, before realising they were stuck.
People in front of them were crying and shouting for help, they said, but staff climbed up to reassure them.
Mrs Watkins said: "They were shaken and wet because it was hammering it down with rain. Their hands were icy cold."
Galactica opened last month and is a £12m upgrade from a previous rollercoaster attraction called Air.
Monday's incident comes less than a year after the Smiler rollercoaster crash, which left two women needing to have legs amputated.
The theme park's owner, Merlin Attractions, later admitted a health and safety breach.
Mount Rokatenda, on the island of Palue some 2,000km (1,250 miles) east of Jakarta, spewed ash and rocks 2km into the air.
Disaster officials said hot ash covered a nearby beach, leaving four adults and two children dead.
The volcano had been rumbling since late last year, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people.
A 3km exclusion zone was set up after an eruption last October.
But Surono, a spokesman from Indonesia's volcanology agency, said many villagers had become accustomed to the volcanic activity and ignored the mandatory evacuation order.
Palue has a population of some 10,000 people.
Mr Surono said the latest eruption had begun at 04:27 on Saturday (20:27 GMT Friday) and lasted for nearly four hours.
He urged villagers to stay clear of the affected area, saying it was difficult to predict if there would be further eruptions.
Palue is about 4km wide and lies a short distance off the north coast of Flores, the main island in East Nusa Tenggara province.
The ACT Alliance humanitarian group reported in April that eruptions in Palue in October and again in March this year had forced hundreds of people from their villages, with significant losses of income in farming, trade and fishing.
Much of the Indonesian archipelago lies on the Pacific "ring of fire", an area prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
At least 350 people died and 250,000 were displaced when Mount Merapi in central Java erupted in 2010.
The Irish Turf Club's chief medical officer Dr Adrian McGoldrick, speaking on Fallon's behalf, said the jockey had "lost the motivation" to keep riding.
"Hopefully we can get him managed and get him ready for the next stage of his life," he added.
Irishman Fallon rode 16 British Classic winners and also won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice.
McGoldrick said the jockey's depression had gone undiagnosed in both England and America.
He added: "I first became aware of it when he came to see me for his licence earlier this year and he was obviously very significantly depressed.
"It got worse and I met with him on Sunday and have arranged to have it managed.
"It's quite profound depression. As soon as I can get a bed organised for him, he'll be going to hospital here in Ireland."
Trainer Michael O'Callaghan, for whom Fallon had been riding this season, said the jockey had fallen from a horse last week.
"He had a fall on the gallops and he said he's 51 and doesn't bounce like he used to," said O'Callaghan.
"It's been great to have him here and he is going to remain here as a work rider and adviser, hopefully for a while to come - he's just giving up the race riding.
"He's had an amazing career on the track - he must be one of the best jockeys of all time."
Retired 20-time champion jump jockey AP McCoy tweeted: "Best wishes to Kieren Fallon in his retirement, one of the most naturally talented/gifted jockeys I've ever seen."
Having begun his apprenticeship in 1982, Fallon claimed his first winner at Navan two years later.
His first British winner came aboard Evichstar at Thirsk in 1988, but it was another nine years before he became champion jockey for the first time.
He went on to win that title a further five times over the next six years.
Fallon's racing career was not without controversy.
In 2004 he was the subject of a News of the World investigation into race-fixing and later faced trial for conspiracy to defraud. He was banned from racing in Britain for 18 months - before a trial at the Old Bailey cleared him and five others of any wrongdoing.
He also served two drugs bans, and was given a six-month suspension for pulling jockey Stuart Webster off his horse.
BBC Sport's Frank Keogh
"Kieren Fallon brought new meaning to the words 'rollercoaster career'.
"He got knocked down, and he came back again, and again.
"A supremely gifted jockey, he was a big-race master and for many years the go-to rider for top trainers.
"But he was often in the headlines off the track, serving two drugs bans and being dramatically cleared at the Old Bailey of race-fixing allegations.
"Fallon mastered the tricky contours of Epsom to win the Derby three times, and earned the nickname 'King Kieren' among punters."
He and his wife, Peng Liyuan, will take part in a procession down the Mall to Buckingham Palace later, ahead of a state banquet held by the Queen.
Mr Xi will also address both Houses of Parliament and meet PM David Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The PM's spokeswoman said "nothing is off the table" in talks with Mr Xi.
She said she expected China's dumping of cheap steel on the world market - blamed by UK industry figures for collapsing prices and subsequent job cuts - and the threat from cyber attacks to come up during two planned rounds of "substantial" talks.
The trip, the first UK state visit by a Chinese leader since 2005, has been hailed by officials from both countries as the start of a "golden era" of relations.
The UK Treasury hopes to make China Britain's second biggest trading partner within 10 years.
Chinese companies are to be allowed to take a stake in British nuclear power plants, and a trip by Mr Xi and Mr Cameron to Manchester later in the week is expected to see the announcement of further investment into the so-called Northern Powerhouse project.
But the visit comes as China's economy grew by just 6.9% in the third quarter, the weakest rate since the global financial crisis.

The president will begin Tuesday by being greeted at the Royal Mandarin Hotel in London by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
He will then inspect a guard of honour at Horse Guards Parade, where he and his wife will also be given a ceremonial welcome by the Queen and Duke Of Edinburgh.
A state carriage procession will then take place down a flag-decked Mall to Buckingham Palace.
Mr Xi will later travel to Westminster where he will address MPs and Lords at the Palace of Westminster.
He will then visit Clarence House for a further engagement with Prince Charles and the Duchess Of Cornwall, before arriving back at Buckingham Palace for meetings with the Duke Of Cambridge and, afterwards, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The Queen will round off the day by hosting a state banquet in the president's honour, which will be attended by members of the Royal Family, including Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Mr Cameron and Mr Corbyn.
Prince Charles, a friend of the exiled Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, will not be attending, but no official reason has been given for his absence.
China's ambassador to the UK has said he doubts Mr Corbyn will raise the issue of human rights at the banquet, but the Labour leader's spokesman said he would be "using the opportunity" of Mr Xi's visit to raise his concerns.
Amnesty International and other groups have announced their intention to hold protests during the visit over censorship and human rights violations in China.
It is also expected that there will also be a pro-China rally.

Kim took a six-shot lead into the final round but a course record-equalling 64 from England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff took her to within two shots of the lead.
But Kim, 29, maintained her form to post a 71 and win by two shots.
Another Englishwoman, Georgia Hall, had to settle for a tie for third after a 70, alongside American Michelle Wie (66) and German Caroline Masson (67).
A superb run of scoring saw Ewart Shadoff follow a birdie on the second hole with five in a row from the sixth and another on the 13th.
The 29-year-old from Northallerton then birdied the 17th to close the gap to two and parred the last to complete a 64, equalling the record set on day one by Wie and matched by Inbee Park in round three.
However, Kim, who famously missed a one-foot putt to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship - now called the ANA Inspiration - in 2012, was able to par the final five holes for a winning total of 18 under par.
Ewart Shadoff's runners-up finish is her best result in a major and secured her place on Europe's Solheim Cup team to take on the United States in Iowa from 18-20 August.
Wie closed with a six-under 66 to post her best major finish since winning her sole major title at the 2014 US Open.
Sally Watson, the only Scot left in the tournament, had a disappointing 76 to finish four over par in her last tournament before retiring.
Andrew Kieran now has an ileostomy bag after the surgery to treat his Ulcerative Colitis.
Andrew, a former Ulster Minor Championship winner with Monaghan in 2013, was diagnosed with the condition in May 2014.
The initial symptoms included fatigue and passing blood.
In the difficult years that followed, he would at one point weigh just seven stone, almost die from sepsis and spend one period of seven and a half weeks in hospital.
Several different treatments were tried - including drugs, steroids and blood tranfusions - until he decided to undergo surgery in January of this year.
Just five months later, the 22 year old played his first game of Gaelic football for three years for his club team Killanny in a Monaghan Senior Football League victory over Truagh Gaels.
Now, he says, he wants to help others with similar conditions.
"I had very dark days where I didn't really see a way out, but if you can hold onto those positive thoughts, even if they're very small, they will blossom and there will be hope at the end of the day," he said.
"I'd just love to be that person that they can look up to and say 'There's that guy, look what he's doing with his life, look what he's doing with something that historically has been surrounded by a stigma'".
The eight-hour operation involved the removal of his whole large bowel, which was ulcerated, and then a piece of his small intestine was brought through his abdomen to create an opening called a stoma.
Everything he digests now goes through that and into an ileostomy bag.
Andrew said the decision to undergo the operation has given him his life back.
"At times there were periods of remission, but they were very very short, only weeks of remission, before I just relapsed into symptoms of bleeding, of losing weight, fatigue," he said
He said this continued until he returned from a trip to Glasgow with friends with food poisoning - the only one of the group to get it.
"I ended up in hospital and I just said 'I can't go on with my life like this, can't go on missing these opportunities, missing living life like a normal young lad'."
Andrew said while the years not being able to take part in the sport he loved - and played alongside his twin brother Adam - had been difficult, he never gave up hope.
"There were times when I was told 'don't get your hopes up too much, you probably won't get back to football'," he said
"I took that advice, but inside my head I thought 'I'm getting back, I don't need any of this negativity around me'.
"I never fell into a sort of depressed daze or a dark area, because I knew I was going to kick football again - didn't know when - but it was always going to happen, I had that inside me."
After his surgery, Andrew began work with a personal trainer to get his weight and fitness back.
"It started off very slow and hard and to be honest I wasn't too sure how I was going to cope with it, with this new addition to my body [the ileostomy bag].
"But there's so many belts out there, weights belts, there's belts there for daily use, for gyming, for playing football, for swimming. There's so many varieties out there for people with an ileostomy that there's nothing holding you back," he said.
Andrew's father, John, said when his son was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis they read about the condition, visited forums and made some friends among people in a similar situation.
"We reached out and got some help from people. Now it's about how can we help," he said.
Mr Kieran said that to see his son playing again was very emotional.
"It was a fantastic day for the family," he said.
"So far the reaction and reception he's received for being so brave is just fantastic."
Andrew said he has a new perspective on life: "I just want to enjoy life, go back to my education and, at the same time, try to help other people who are going through some dark days, who don't really see any hope or way out of the difficulties they're in."
It will bring its payroll in the city to 400 and most of the jobs involve administrative work.
Economy Minister Jonathan Bell said the posts paid combined salaries of £1.2m.
He said they were being created "in this location against competition from other Grant Thornton offices in the Republic and the rest of the UK".
Invest NI is giving the company £202,000 in grants.
Grant Thornton has two offices in Belfast and operates in more than 120 countries.
The company said the jobs ranged "from school leavers to experienced professionals".
King Kigeli died last October, aged 80, in the United States, where he had been living since 1992.
The former monarch had reportedly not wanted to be buried in Rwanda as long as the current government was in power.
However, a US court ruled in favour of relatives in Rwanda who wanted his body returned there to be laid to rest.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other news
"We are very happy to have him back in his country of birth," said James Vuningoma, executive secretary of the Rwanda Academy of Language and Culture (RALC), who was at Kigali airport when the king's remains arrived.
A number of relatives, including King Kigeli's half-sister, were also there.
Earlier, the king's Royal Council had said Kigeli had not wanted to be buried in Rwanda "as long as the current government administration that was hostile to his majesty in life was still in power".
Born Jean-Baptiste Ndahindurwa, Kigeli ascended to the throne in 1959 but ruled for less than a year before being forced into exile.
Rwanda abolished the monarchy in 1961.
King Kigeli lived in several other African countries before eventually settling in the US where he set up a charity helping Rwandan refugees and orphans.
A 2013 profile in Washingtonian magazine found him living off food stamps in subsidised housing.
King Kigeli was the last in a line of monarchs from the minority Tutsi ethnic group, which had dominated Rwanda for many years, but the Belgian former colonial power favoured the majority Hutus and backed a coup.
When Rwanda was proclaimed a republic, a Hutu, Dominique Mbonyumutwa, was made president.
Tens of thousands of Tutsis went into exile after King Kigeli and for three decades the country endured ethnic violence.
It culminated in the 1994 genocide, in which some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
Current President Paul Kagame came to power at the end of the killings, as the head of a Tutsi rebel group.
King Kigeli held onto the hope that he could return to the throne in Rwanda, at the head of a constitutional monarchy.
A small opposition party argued that the king could be a force of unity in a country still torn by the legacy of the genocide.
But the government was willing to let him return only as a private citizen.
A Derby City Council report said that on average each employee took 11 days off sick this year.
A cabinet member at the Labour-run authority said increased sickness was down to stress over extra workloads.
Staff will hear about more job losses later as next year's budget is set, the BBC understands.
The average number of working days per employee per year lost through sickness was 11.2, based on figures from the second quarter of 2014, compared to 7.4 in 2011/12.
Cabinet member for governance Baggy Shanker said the figures were not acceptable.
"There are a number of reasons I'm told why these figures are increasing from a previously good position and a lot of that is around stress existing members of staff are facing in their daily jobs," he said.
Nearly 450 staff have been made redundant over the last two years. About 100 of the redundancies have been compulsory.
Tigers were hammered 43-0 in their final Champions Cup tie of the season.
Speaking ahead of their return to Premiership action against Gloucester on Saturday, Youngs said the loss provides both pain and motivation.
"It sat very heavy in my heart and a lot of the boys' hearts. It hurt big time," he told BBC Radio Leicester.
"A lot of stuff has been thrown at us as a group. It will make us stronger in the long run, but short-term it will probably knock us a little bit.
"I have never wanted a game to end early in a Leicester shirt, but I really wanted that to end early. Everything we said to do we didn't do."
Hooker Youngs said his side's inadequacies, coupled with facing an in-form Glasgow side, made it difficult to keep their heads up in the days that followed.
"We could have done things better, but they were in one of those bubbles you get in sometimes in rugby," Youngs added.
"They got the momentum and got the squeeze on us. It was very hard, after the losses we have experienced, to keep heads up and keep going.
"It does take it's toll. It was pretty hard. There were lots of disappointed people and we have to take it on the chin."
As well as bowing out of Europe, Tigers are fifth in the Premiership, having lost seven of their past nine games in all competitions.
Youngs added: "I said to guys to watch the game against Glasgow again because you have to learn from that sort of game, and understand, and make sure it doesn't happen again.
"You have to draw a line in some regards, but you also have to learn from it. We need a win against Gloucester."
The PM said the union "would not work" if it could not show "flexibility".
Mr Cameron was speaking after formally launching his bid to renegotiate the UK's membership ahead of the in/out membership promised by 2017.
He also said Greece would be likely to leave the euro if it rejects its bailout terms in a referendum.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Cameron said Britain's interests would be best served by an agreement between the Greek government and the eurozone.
"If they vote no, I find it hard to see how that's consistent with staying in the euro because there would be a very significant default and a very significant problem," he said.
Mr Cameron said the EU had to be flexible enough to work for countries inside and outside the eurozone.
"If it can't show that flexibility it won't work as an organisation and I believe the British people will see that," he said, adding: "This needs to have the flexibility of a network not the rigidity of a bloc."
Asked about raising his demands for reform during a summit dominated by the Greek and Mediterranean crises, the PM said there had been "very long" discussions about those two issues.
"In the middle of that there was a brief discussion about the British situation," which "got a very good reception", he said.
The PM said there were many negotiations to come - "but every journey starts with a single step, as they say".
Resuming on 53-2, Rob Keogh (88 not out) helped the home side to 343 in their second innings, leaving Worcestershire needing 148 to win.
Opener Daryl Mitchell followed his first-innings 161 by scoring 78 not out to guide his team to victory.
The visitors utilised the extra eight overs of play to wrap up an eight-wicket success at Wantage Road.
Mitchell finished the match in style with three fours and a six off Steven Crook to complete a win which keeps Worcestershire in touch with Division Two leaders Nottinghamshire.
Their maximum 24-point haul lifts them to second, within 13 of fellow three-day winners Notts, but Steve Rhodes' side have a game in hand.
The day was marred slightly by an injury to Northants batsman Richard Levi, who retired hurt after being hit on the helmet by a Josh Tongue bouncer.
Levi was taken to hospital for a precautionary scan, which revealed he was suffering from a mild concussion, but he was later allowed to return home.
Northants captain Alex Wakely told BBC Radio Northampton:
"Worcester have outplayed us. Their disciplines were much better than ours. We fought well, but we lost that game in the first innings with both bat and ball.
"Our statistics are pretty poor with the bat. You're not going to win games of cricket with that.
"We're making the same mistakes over and over again. We've got to find a way to not do that."
Worcestershire captain Joe Leach told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"I challenged the guys at the start of the week to get us a position to win the game and we've done that.
"Hats off to Mitch for two fantastic innings in this game and the bowlers have toiled away well too.
"12 months ago we probably played similar cricket but didn't win a game. This time we've managed to kill sides off when we've had the chance."
Former soldier Dean Henderson-Smith, 46, had been working on skylights at Great Park Farm Cottages, Besselsleigh, Oxfordshire in October 2012.
John Binning, 65, of Great Park Farm, pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court to a health and safety offence on Tuesday. A manslaughter charge was dropped.
He was fined a total of £72,500.
His son, James Binning, of Binnings Farm, Besselsleigh, had also faced a manslaughter charge, which was dropped in November.
Mr Henderson-Smith suffered multiple injuries in the fall on 18 October 2012 and died later in hospital.
The court heard neither he nor his colleague, Benjamin Baker, wore hard hats, gloves or harnesses while on the roof.
In mitigation, defence lawyer Ben Compton QC said John Binning "acknowledges his obligation to inquire and do more about the work undertaken".
In a victim impact statement, Mr Henderson-Smith's partner Sacha Roberts said losing him had been "forever life-changing".
"I was blissfully happy and believed I'd found my soul mate. In one moment my life was wrecked and will never be the same again," she said.
Nor is it a new technology like virtual reality - compared with last year, there seem to be fewer VR headsets around.
No, the biggest thing in Barcelona is something invisible that doesn't yet exist, 5G.
The hype about the potential of the next generation of mobile networks has reached new heights, with every major company exhibiting here eager to explain how it will be at the cutting edge of the coming 5G revolution.
Governments too have decided it is now technologically correct (can I coin the term TC?) to rave about the importance to the economy of being 5G-ready.
On the UK stand, the Trade Minister, Greg Hands, told me funds would continue to pour into 5G research post-Brexit.
Over at the Intel stand, they had gone as far as to build a prototype 5G network to give us a feel of what this new connected paradise would be like.
There was an autonomous car, a connected home, and a smart lamppost all talking to the network at breakneck speed.
Visitors were invited to don a Microsoft HoloLens headset for an augmented reality display of seas of data flowing round the stand and up into the sky.
It was easy to forget there was still no agreement on exactly what constitutes 5G, and most countries still had to work out what spectrum would be needed and how they would allocate it.
More important, perhaps, there is no sense that consumers know anything about it or have any sense that they want it - in fact my sense is that most would prefer to see a bit more of the 4G vision realised before the next revolution comes along.

But Intel's Aicha Evans did a good job explaining why we should be excited about the promise of 5G.
She told me: "Think about what was life like without smartphones - start there," and then explained that just as that revolution had connected people, so this next one would allow everything else to get connected, enabling all sorts of advances in the way we live.
Now, Intel is a hardware company that stands to benefit as the telecoms industry has to retool for 5G, but I came away from the exhibit almost convinced.
But then I ran into two 5G sceptics.
The first was a senior executive at one of the world's biggest mobile operators, who took a very cynical view of his industry's current state.
"Who's going to pay for it?" he asked me, adding operators were already seeing their margins squeezed, as they battled with nimble newcomers such as WhatsApp, and had little appetite to pour money into 5G without seeing much of a return.
The second was a chief technologist at a major networking equipment company - one that could stand to benefit from the 5G rollout.
But he described the hype around the technology as "irrational exuberance" - the same term used by an economist warning in the late 1990s about the dot-com bubble.
He believed that current advances in 4G - what's known as Gigabit LTE, which enables much faster data rates over existing networks - offered a more practical and affordable solution.
Nevertheless, he said, there was such a head of steam behind 5G that it was likely to happen, just as the dot-com bubble had led to vast and unaffordable investments in fibre networks.
But the result was likely to be another radical reshaping of the telecoms industry,
So the 5G revolution is coming.
But who will benefit and who will end up going bust as a result of it is far from clear.
Funai Electric has been producing VHS-playing VCRs for 33 years, most recently in China for Sanyo.
But last year it sold just 750,000 units, down from a peak of 15 million a year, and has been finding it difficult to source the necessary parts.
VCRs were introduced in the 1970s but were superseded by DVD technology.
Last year, Sony announced it would stop selling Betamax video cassettes - a rival to the VHS. VCRs were required to play or record such tapes.
It was 12 years ago that UK High Street retailer Dixons decided to phase out the sale of VCRs due to the popularity of DVD players.
Some vintage technologies - such as vinyl - have enjoyed a renaissance.
However, Tania Loeffler, an analyst at IHS Technology, does not think the same nostalgia will ever be felt for VCR-playable formats.
"I don't see VCR becoming like vinyl, where a lot of people appreciated the warmness of how something sounds on vinyl," she told the BBC.
"The quality on VHS is not something I think anyone would want to go back to."
However, she added that a niche market for accessing VHS content, perhaps for archival purposes, would probably mourn the loss of VCRs if they became unavailable.
The 23-year-old, who spent three years with Dungannon, signed for the Mallards in 2016 after a spell with Dergview.
"From the minute I left I've always wanted to get back here - I feel I can bring a lot to the Swifts," Mayse told the Dungannon website.
Mayse scored 10 goals for Ballinamallard last season.
"I'm delighted with the signing of Ryan," said Dungannon manager Rodney McAree.
"I've known him for a long time and he'll be a terrific addition to the squad. He is a very talented player with an eye for goal - I can't wait to start working with him in pre-season."
Mayse's exit from Ferney Park comes five days after the Fermanagh club signed midfielder Richard Clarke from Crusaders.
Amir Makhoul, 52, admitted to the charges in a plea bargain that will see him jailed for seven to 10 years.
Under the deal, prosecutors dropped the most serious charge - assisting an enemy in a time of war - for which he could have faced life in prison. He will be sentenced in November.
Makhoul was arrested in May, along with Israeli Arab activist Omar Sayid.
Charges against Mr Sayid were reduced in a plea bargain and he was freed last month after serving a seven-month jail term.
The Israeli press was initially barred from reporting on the case, but when the gag order was lifted, Israeli Arab pressure group Adalah said their arrest and interrogation had been conducted "in gross violation of their fundamental rights to due process".
Makhoul's lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein, said he agreed to a plea bargain because of the difficulty of proving his innocence.
He said the information that Makhoul shared was common knowledge and available on the internet.
In May, Makhoul and Sayid confessed that they passed information about Israeli bases to the Lebanese militant and political group, Hezbollah, which is blacklisted by Israel as a terrorist organisation.
Prosecutors said they sent information to their Lebanese contacts over the internet using sophisticated encryption programmes.
In 2006, Israel and Hezbollah fought a devastating war that killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, most of them civilians, and more than 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.
Makhoul is the director of Ittijah, the Union of Arab Community-Based Associations, the brother of a former Israeli-Arab member of Israel's Knesset, or parliament, and an outspoken critic of Israel's treatment of Palestinians and Israeli Arabs.
Prince Charles joined members of the Saudi royal family for the Ardah - or sword dance - in the capital Riyadh.
The prince wore a traditional ankle-length garment, known as a "thobe", for the all-male ceremony which is usually performed at events such as weddings.
He is touring the Middle East, where he is visiting Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
It is his second visit to the two nations in just under a year and his 10th official trip to Saudi since he first toured the nation in 1986.
The Ardah features hundreds of Saudi Arabian men and boys dancing and singing in formation with swords in hand.
The ceremony was performed to celebrate the Janadriyah Festival, an annual cultural event lasting about two weeks which marks all aspects of Saudi life and is being held this week in Riyadh.
The prince's host was Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, the former head of the Saudi intelligence service who was named as the second deputy prime minister by King Abdullah last year.
The Associated Press news agency reported a Buckingham Palace statement that said the prince had also planned to meet the Saudi king before he heads to Qatar for a two-day visit.
British ambassador to Saudi Arabia Jon Jenkins had said in a statement prior to the prince's visit that the royals were expected to discuss the need for reconciliation in the region and their hopes for its future, AP said.
On Tech Tent this week we reflect on the growing tensions between Europe and the United States over the regulation of tech giants - and mounting global anxiety over cyber-crime.
...or does it? When news broke this week that a new cyber-attack was under way, affecting businesses and government organisations around the world, it sounded very similar to the Wannacry ransomware which afflicted NHS hospitals in May.
But it is becoming clear that this was rather different. For one thing, the attack seems to have been focused on Ukrainian businesses and state organisations, and has spread rapidly within networks but not hopped from one to another so easily.
Experts are also pointing to the fact that the attacks seemed to destroy data rather than just locking it up - which means that it is unlikely to garner many ransom payments as victims will get nothing in return for paying up.
The show debated what conclusions we can draw about who was behind the attack - and whether it is more or less worrying than Wannacry.
Type anything you might buy into Google's search engine - say, leather shoes - and at the top of the results you will see a box with images of products and links to where you can order them. This is an advertising service called Google Shopping, and this week the European Commission decided it amounted to an abuse of the search giant's market power.
The European Commission slapped a record 2.4bn euro ($2.7bn; £2.1bn) fine on Google and ordered the company to change its ways and stop favouring its own services above rival shopping comparison services.
Depending on your point of view, this was either a long overdue move to trim the sails of an over powerful monopoly - or it was Europe throwing a hissy fit because it can't produce a company as innovative as Google.
The second view is expressed forcefully on our programme by the media academic Prof Jeff Jarvis, long an admirer of Google. He says there is little evidence of harm to consumers from Google's behaviour and sees this week's fine as sour grapes:
"I think Europe has constantly been in the position of feeling jealous that it doesn't have a Google," he tells us. "But you're not going to get there by regulating and passing protectionist legislation."
Of course the irony is that the EU ruling has been applauded by the likes of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and the British tabloid press, usually sceptical about regulation and anything else that comes out of Brussels.
But in the view of Prof Jarvis that is because they have watched impotently as the innovative web giant steals their advertising business - so they have decided that their enemy's enemy is their friend.
Another area where Europe and the United States see things differently is on where to draw the line between free expression and protecting people from racist and violent language.
The German parliament has just voted to approve a law which could see social media firms face big fines if they fail to remove illegal hate speech within 24 hours. A country where there are strict laws against anti-Semitic and other racial abuse has struggled to apply those rules online.
Now, according to Justice Minister Heiko Maas, Germany has acted to end "the internet law of the jungle".
The American social media giants had lobbied long and hard against what looks like the strictest law yet to be applied about online behaviour in a democratic country
And even some German organisations which monitor online hate speech and fake news are worried. Alexander Rabe from Eco, which was consulted about the drafting of the law, told us that it was difficult to define hate speech and he was concerned that repressive regimes might take inspiration for a crackdown on free expression..
So why did lawmakers vote it through?
Our correspondent in Germany, Joe Miller, tells us there is a simple answer - the idea of curbing hate speech and taking on what are seen as irresponsible American web firms is hugely popular.
More than 100 drivers in Weymouth and Bridport in Dorset, are currently involved in an eighth week of industrial action.
Bus firm First Dorset said a further walkout was "unnecessary".
The union Unite said it had contacted the conciliation service Acas, but accused First Dorset of not yet agreeing to the terms of reference.
First Dorset said it welcomed Unite's request for formal arbitration but added a date had not yet been set.
Unite has said Weymouth and Bridport drivers earned £8.80 an hour and it wants this to rise to £9.50 over three years to match the wages of drivers in Yeovil, Somerset.
But First Dorset has said the pay increase is "unaffordable".
The first round of action began on 20 June, with the current round due to end at 04.29 BST on Monday.
However, further action will now take place from 04:30 on Monday until 04:29 on Tuesday, from 04:30 on Wednesday until 04:29 on Thursday, and from 04:30 on 26 August until 04:29 on 29 August.
First Dorset said the firm was providing more than 90% of its services and running an emergency timetable during the dispute.
Marc Reddy, managing director of the firm, said: "We simply cannot understand the rationale for further strike action.
"Typically, when both parties agree to resolve a dispute through collective arbitration, as in this case, industrial action ceases, on the basis that the arbitrator will resolve the dispute with a decision.
"The decision to strike this week and next is completely unnecessary and will have no bearing on an arbitrator's decision."
Unite regional officer Bob Lanning said: "We are keen to get the arbitration process rolling, but the company has yet to agree the terms of reference."
He added drivers "won't even consider suspending the strikes until we have a copper-bottomed agreement for a date for the Acas talks".
The Astana rider finished 52 seconds ahead of Colombia's Esteban Chaves (Orica) in the overall standings with Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) third.
Fellow Italian Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek) was stripped of victory in the final stage after deviating from his sprint line in a bunch finish.
Germany's Nikias Arndt (Giant) was handed the victory.
Nibali was battered and bruised after a terrible performance in last Sunday's uphill time trial and Tuesday's mountain stage to Andalo, but when all seemed lost he hit back in style.
He won solo in Risoul on Friday when overall leader Steven Kruijswijk crashed, and he put the hammer down on Saturday by dropping his closest rivals Valverde and Chaves, who had been wearing the leader's pink jersey.
Nibali is one of only six men to win all three Grand Tours - the 2013 Giro, 2010 Vuelta and 2014 Tour de France crowns.
His team considered pulling him from the race earlier this week after his mediocre form saw him slip out of contention.
Stage 21 result:
1. Nikias Arndt (Ger/Giant) 3hrs 48mins 18secs
2. Matteo Trentin (Ita/Etixx-Quick-Step) Same time
3. Sacha Modolo (Ita/Lampre) Same time
4. Alexander Porsev (Rus/Katusha) Same time
5 Sean De Bie (Ger/Lotto) Same time
Final general classification:
1. Vincenzo Nibali (Ita/Astana) 86hrs 32mins 49secs
2. Esteban Chaves (Col/Orica) +52secs
3. Alejandro Valverde (Spa /Movistar) +1min 17secs
4. Steven Kruijswijk (Ned/LottoNL) +1min 50secs
5. Rafal Majka (Pol/Tinkoff) +4mins 37secs
The drugs were found after a car was stopped on the Great Northern Road shortly before 15:00 BST.
Police said about 13kgs of suspected cutting agent for a class A drug were also found.

The May Morning festival, whose origins are unclear, has been a tradition for more than 500 years.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Mr Trump pondered whether Scotland would "go for the vote".
He said that this "would be terrible", adding: "They just went through hell."
The president then noted that "they'd no longer have the British Open" golf championship, saying: "Scotland. Keep it in Scotland."
SNP MP Angus MacNeil suggested that Mr Trump's comments would actually be a boost for the cause, writing on Twitter: "Goodness, Scottish independence must have a whole raft of new global supporters as Donald Trump says 'bad'."
Mr Trump's interview with the Wall Street Journal, a transcript of which was released by Politico, also discussed the UK's prospects of securing a trade deal with the US after Brexit.
Having been asked about "trade talks with Britain", the president is noted as saying: "We're going to be very involved with the UK. I mean, you don't hear the word Britain any more. It's very interesting. It's like, nope."
He then changed tack to ask: "Is Scotland going to go for the vote, by the way? You don't see it. It would be terrible. They just went through hell."
The newspaper's editor in chief Gerard Baker interjected that "the first minister's already made it clear she..." before Mr Trump interrupted.
The president then added: "One little thing, what would they do with the British Open if they ever got out? They'd no longer have the British Open.
"Scotland. Keep it in Scotland."
Mr Trump then asked Mr Baker if he was "a member there", before embarking on a discussion of golf, including the prospects of 2017 Open champion Jordan Spieth.
The tournament is scheduled to be held in Carnoustie in Angus in 2018. Other active venues in Scotland include the Old Course at St Andrews, Muirfield, Royal Troon and Turnberry, the latter course having been bought by Mr Trump in 2014. He visited the course during his presidential campaign.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has put plans for a second referendum on Scottish independence on hold after announcing a "reset" of her proposed timetable.
However, she has said it remains "likely" that a vote will be held by 2021, stressing that she is "strongly committed" to Scots having a choice on their future at the end of the Brexit process.
Animal researchers say that it will be impossible to stop all animal tests.

Matthew Carapiet, 23, from Kent, had been trekking north of the capital Kathmandu just before the disaster.
His family said the architecture student was "kind, happy and caring" and "made a huge impression" on others.
More than 7,500 people were killed in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake which struck on 25 April.
The architecture student from Bearsted was trekking in the Langtang valley as part of his gap year.
In a statement, released through the Foreign Office, his family said: "Matt was touring Asia in a gap year before planning to continue his architecture studies in the autumn.
"He spoke to us regularly about how much he was enjoying his travels and we know he was doing something that he loved."
They added: "Matt is loved by his family and friends who all have countless memories of how kind, happy and caring he was.
"He made a huge impression on the lives of everyone he met."
The news of Mr Carapiet's death came as the UK government said 92 more Gurkhas had been deployed to Nepal to provide aid.
The Gurkhas, from the 36 Engineer Regiment based in Kent, will boost the total number of UK military personnel in the region to almost 300.
Aid from the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has reached more than 60 villages, towns and camps in the weeks following the earthquake, which has also left more than 14,500 injured.
More than 4,000 aid workers from around the world have been helping with relief and rescue operations.
The Gurkhas, who arrived in two groups on Friday and Saturday, will focus on providing support to the villages of serving and veteran Gurkhas and their families, the Ministry of Defence said.
They are expected to stay for about three months.
A separate team of Gurkha engineers has already been deployed to set up a water purification system in Kathmandu.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "The British Army Gurkhas deploying have a unique set of local knowledge, language skills and engineering experience, making them a vital element of the international response.
"We recognise that this terrible disaster will have directly affected our own Gurkha community and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
The DEC appeal, fronted by Absolutely Fabulous star and Gurkha campaigner Joanna Lumley, has raised £45m to date.
The UK government's humanitarian response now stands at £23m, which includes a pledge to match the first £5m raised by the public for the DEC appeal.
DEC chief executive Saleh Saeed said: "The overwhelming generosity of the UK public will help families get through the next few months and rebuild their lives over the coming years.
"Our members' teams have been are working around the clock to provide essential aid. However, a huge amount of work remains to be done before the monsoon rains make the response even more difficult and the risk of disease outbreaks increase."
The Department for International Development has flown out 54 tonnes of humanitarian aid supplies, including more than 1,100 shelter kits and some 1,700 solar lanterns, while the RAF has been transporting supplies and equipment from India to Kathmandu.
India seems to be climbing down from a stiff position that not an inch of its land can be given away to China to resolve the border dispute that has dogged the two Asian giants since the 1950s.
"It is important to solve the India-China border dispute and for that some give and take is necessary," said retired General JJ Singh.
"India will have to move away from our position that our territory is non-negotiable," he said.
Gen Singh did not specify the "give-and-take" he thought necessary, but specialists feel that he was hinting at India accepting some of the Chinese positions on the disputed Himalayan border and vice-versa.
Gen Singh is now governor of the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh, the whole of which is claimed by China as its own.
Chinese maps mark the state as Southern Tibet and when the Chinese claim line was posted on Google earlier this year, it led to a furore in India.
Both countries have frequently accused the other of border incursions, but Gen Singh said they occurred because both armies go by their own conflicting versions of the border.
Giving the inaugural speech at a national seminar on Indo-China relations organised by the Indian Council of Social Science Research and Rajiv Gandhi University, Gen Singh made a strong plea for normalisation of Sino-Indian relations.
"The world has changed and we are a much more confident nation now. It is important to realise that we need a speedy resolution to the Indo-China boundary dispute and for that some give-and-take may be necessary."
However, he did not spell out where India might need to concede to Chinese positions and vice-versa.
"By and large, the McMahon Line will help resolve the boundary of the two countries but some incongruities apparent on the ground might have to be amicably resolved and there is no scope for conflict as we have agreed to resolve the issue peacefully," the Arunachal Pradesh governor said.
The McMahon Line was drawn up by British India's Foreign Secretary, Sir Henry McMahon, in 1914 but is not accepted by China.
The way Gen Singh lashed out at those who predict a future Sino-Indian war indicates that the Indian establishment is keen to build bridges with China by controlling the tensions that have cropped up in recent months.
"A governor of a state bordering China would not make such an important statement unless he had been cleared to do so by Delhi," said CJ Thomas of the Indian Council of Social Science Research's North-eastern chapter.
Predictions of a looming Sino-Indian war were "utter nonsense", Gen Singh said.
"I must tell these futurologists and experts to stop this nonsense of predicting a Indo-China war, first in 2010, then in 2012 and now in 2020. They will be proved wrong as we will not fight. We are competitors, not rivals," he said.
"These experts have no ground knowledge, they don't know that Chinese and Indian soldiers actually play volleyball on the borders.
"We have plans for extensive military-to-military interactions between the two countries," Gen Singh told the conference. "That includes joint military exercises."
He said India will nevertheless not compromise on its military preparedness.
But the governor said there was no scope for a purely militaristic approach and it was equally important to develop Arunachal Pradesh by utilising its considerable resources so that the "very patriotic Arunachalis" feel more and more strongly about defending their land against any possible aggression.
Talking of Chinese territorial claims on the area, Gen Singh said: "Our Chinese friends should come here and find out for themselves what the Arunachalis feel about China and India. Nobody here wants to be part of China."
Many China specialists in India have welcomed Singh's statements.
"We need a pragmatic approach to resolve the border dispute, said CV Rangnathan, a former Indian ambassador to China who also attended the conference.
"We can't keep the matter hanging and a give-and-take approach is the best way to do it."
"It is high time the sabre-rattling and one-upmanship stopped and China and India find a way to resolve the festering border dispute," said China specialist Shrikant Kondapalli. "That will take both countries forward."
China claims about 90,000 sq km (35,100 sq miles) of what India says is her territory, mostly in the eastern part of their shared border.
India has been reluctant to part with any portion of the disputed territory since the 1950s. It rejected a swap offer made by China's former Prime Minister Zhou Enlai in 1960, asking India to recognise China's control of Aksai Chin in the west as a quid pro quo for China's recognition of the McMahon line.
After rejecting that offer, India initiated a "forward policy" to control the disputed territories in the Himalayas.
Many specialists like Neville Maxwell, author of India's China War blame this policy for the 1962 war between the two countries, in which the India army was routed and the Chinese almost reached the plains of Assam before withdrawing to their present positions on the Tibet-Arunachal border.
The channel picked up eight out of a possible 13 awards at Monday's ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank.
Also among its haul was Liz Mackean's Dispatches programme, Hunted, about the persecution of gay people in Russia.
The BBC won two prizes, including best historical documentary.
That award was given to BBC Two's The Iraq War: Regime Change.
And BBC Four won best art documentary for Colin Davis in His Own Words, a tribute to the late conductor who died in 2013.
Channel 4 also won best presenter for Rupert Everett's Love for Sale, looking at why people buy and sell sex, best international contemporary documentary for Dispatches: Children on the Frontline and best entertaining documentary for Our Gay Wedding: The Musical.
It was also honoured for Last Chance School, which collected the new documentary award. The programme followed pupils at an academy for boys who had been excluded from school.
Educating Yorkshire, which follows the lives of staff and pupils at a secondary school in Dewsbury, was a double winner, also picking up the Radio Times Readers' Choice award.
Lorraine Heggessey, chairman of The Grierson Trust, said: "Watching this year's entries is a fabulous reminder of how the documentary is alive and kicking in this digital age - there are funny, uplifting and moving films alongside those that pack a punch and expose the darker underbelly of our society.
"The richness of the human condition and the complexities of 21st century life are celebrated and scrutinised."
Hosted by TV presenter and comedian Sue Perkins, the ceremony can be seen on Sky Atlantic HD on Friday 7 November. | Graeme Murty says his spell as interim boss at Rangers is teaching him whether he has the "temperament" to be a first-team manager.

Zakariya Ashiq, 20, of Coventry, was "tortured" by unidentified "shadowy figures", the Old Bailey heard.
The court earlier heard he left the UK in November, but was forced to return after failing to cross the border from Jordan into Syria.
Mr Ashiq denies preparing acts of terrorism.
He was arrested at Heathrow Airport on 20 November.
Giving evidence, Mr Ashiq said he had been "pestered and "harassed" by members of MI5, meeting officers 12 times.
He said he told intelligence officers he would inform them if he heard about a terror attack planned in Britain, but would not spy on other Muslims.
Mr Ashiq told the court he was also abducted five times between July and November by "shadowy figures" in balaclavas with London and American accents. He said they had blindfolded and handcuffed him.
On the first occasion he said he "thought it was a joke", until they demanded the names of leaders in Syria.
"They showed my mum's prescription, my fingerprints. They said 'We know everything about you, there's nothing you can hide from us'," Mr Ashiq told the court.
On other occasions he said he had been tortured.
"They would put a towel on your face, pour water on you and you get a drowning sensation," he said.
"I was choking up the water. I thought I was going to die. Then afterwards, they do the same thing again but I took a gulp of air before they did it and it was the same questions again and again.
"I just said, 'Just kill me now. I prefer death than torture'. This country hates Muslims, the way they tortured me."
Asked by his lawyer Paul Hynes QC why he never mentioned these abductions to the police, he said he "didn't trust them" and feared seeming "like a mad man".
The trial continues.
The 21-year-old has played in eight events since returning from a 17-month lay-off in June, and had to end her season early after suffering a relapse.
She played in an exhibition in Los Angeles last weekend and is planning to return to the WTA Tour in the new year.
"It's going to be a long way back. But if I didn't want to do it I would have quit a long time ago," she said.
"I'm very happy with the progress that's been made.
The former British number one - now ranked 553 in the world - decided not to use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into January's Australian Open.
She will miss the first Grand Slam of the year and instead is aiming to build up her ranking at smaller events in preparation for the French Open in May.
"I get two Slams with my protected ranking. One I used in New York (at the US Open). I figured I'd get as many matches behind me as possible and use the second one in Paris," she told WTA Insider.
"I could have asked for a wildcard but, at this point, I think it's better for me to get in as many matches as I can and get my ranking up to where I can get into tournaments by myself."
The 32-year-old was part of the men's four who claimed gold in Rio, having also been part of the team who won in London four years earlier.
He also claimed five World Championship golds in his 12-year career.
"My life as I've known it ever since I can remember has now changed forever and really, honestly, there's no coming back from this," he wrote in his blog.
"I feel now, after 32 years on this big blue planet, that I've reached that point in sport and much to my relief I'm satisfied, happy and content.
"There's probably more I could do but I've reached my limit and this is as far as I'm prepared to go."
George Nash, who was also in the victorious men's four in Rio, announced his retirement in November.

The woman had links with the Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh (JMB) group, Bangladesh's Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said.
The case is believed to be the first of its kind in the country involving a female suicide bomber.
A man was also killed in a shoot-out in Saturday's raid in the capital, Dhaka.
Authorities said two other women and two children had earlier surrendered at the address, which was surrounded by police early on Saturday morning.
The identities of those who died and those arrested are not yet known.
The government said that the operation focused on a property described as a "militant hide-out".
In July, gunmen attacked a cafe in Dhaka killing 22 people. Officials said the attackers belonged to the JMB group, although so-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attack.
Mr Zuma was widely quoted in the media as saying that "this is Johannesburg. It's not some national road in Malawi".
He made the comment as he tried to convince people to accept plans to impose tolls on highways around Johannesburg.
On Wednesday, Malawi summoned South Africa's top diplomat in Lilongwe to protest about the remark.
South African high commissioner Cassandra Mbuyane-Mokone explained to Malawi Foreign Affairs Minister Ephraim Mganda Chiume that Mr Zuma had been quoted out of context, said Malawian foreign ministry spokeswoman Quent Kalichero.
"As far as we are concerned the issue is resolved. It's now water under the bridge. Malawi and South Africa enjoy good relations," Ms Kalichero told the BBC.
Malawi is one of Africa's poorest states, with many of its nationals working in South Africa, the regional power.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the governing African National Congress (ANC) on Monday, Mr Zuma reportedly said: "We can't think like Africans in Africa, generally. This is Johannesburg. It's not some national road in Malawi."
South Africa's public broadcaster, SABC, reports that Mr Zuma's spokesman Mac Maharaj has apologised to those who felt offended by the comments.
International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa will never look down on another African country, SABC quotes her as saying.
While South Africa has many toll roads, the government is facing strong public opposition to its plan to introduce, for the first time, electronic tolling for roads between Johannesburg and the capital Pretoria.
Many commuters, backed by businessmen and unionists, say it will increase travelling costs exorbitantly, something they cannot afford.
The government upgraded existing motorways in and around Johannesburg for the 2010 football World Cup.
It says the work was not free, and it now wants the electronic tolling system to retrospectively finance the roads.
The Giants won Saturday's game against the Yorkshire team in a SSE Arena double-header and Chris Higgins put the hosts ahead less than 24 hours later.
Sheffield hit back with first-period goals from Luke Ferrara and Ben O'Connor to move in front.
Mathieu Roy made it 3-1 in the second period and Colton Fretter sealed victory with 71 seconds left.
The Giants started the game three points behind leaders Cardiff Devils and they took the lead midway through the first period.
Higgins shot past Ervins Mustokovs as the Giants exploited a power-play after the Steelers keeper had incurred a delay of game penalty.
But the visitors then stunned the Giants with two goals in the space of 35 seconds in the last minute of the period - Ferrera scoring the equaliser and O'Connor smashing home the go-ahead goal.
The Steelers were a much stronger proposition in the second period and extended their lead when Roy slammed the puck home in the 31st minute of the match.
Tempers flared before the end of the period as Giants captain Adam Keefe fought with Sheffield's Zack Fitzgerald, the former being ejected from the game after much discussion between the officials and player.
The Giants came back strongly in the third period as they tried to get a foothold back in the match but they were caught out as they chased the game.
With Belfast keeper Stephen Murphy pulled, the Steelers applied the coup de grace, Colton Fretter with the 'empty net' goal.
The second-placed Giants are five points ahead of the Steelers in the table but Sheffield still have three games in hand.
He said they would be accusing the Remain camp of "faking the moon landings" next, as he claimed an EU exit would risk £200bn a year in trade.
He was sharing a platform with former political foes Ed Balls and Sir Vince Cable who are backing the Remain cause.
The Leave campaign accused Remain of resorting to "lurid scare stories".
Vote Leave, meanwhile, was backed by 306 business figures who signed a letter published in the Daily Telegraph,.
Voters will be asked to decide whether they want the UK to stay in or leave the European Union on 23 June.
In a speech at Stansted Airport on Monday, Mr Osborne unveiled what were billed as surprise guests, Ed Balls and Sir Vince Cable, as he warned that it would be a "huge mistake" to quit the EU.
He said leaving the single market - in which there are no tariffs, quotas or taxes on trade and where there is free movement of goods, services, capital and people - would cost Britain £200bn in a trade a year - as well as £200bn overseas investment.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
"There is a reason the three of us are standing here today putting aside our political differences," said the chancellor.
"It's not a conspiracy, it's called a consensus," he said, adding: "Britain will be worse off if we leave the EU."
Mr Osborne said the economic consensus that had emerged, that "Britain will be poorer" outside the EU, was shared by organisations including the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England and by figures including US President Barack Obama.
But he said the Leave camp "say it is all a massive conspiracy" and claim it is "all part of some global stitch-up to give misinformation to the British people".
"The next thing we know, the Leave camp will be accusing us of faking the moon landings, kidnapping Shergar and covering up the existence of the Loch Ness monster," he said.
Just as the chancellor is trying to claim victory in the economic debate his colleagues on the other side like Boris Johnson are digging in, characterising the debate as nothing less than a struggle between fat cats and the common man.
George Osborne can claim the economic debate is over, but voters will decide who and what they want to hear.

Responding to Mr Osborne's comments, Conservative cabinet minister and Vote Leave campaigner Chris Grayling told BBC News: "The reality is there's no conspiracy here at all.
"In fact, the conspiracy theories around the European Union are there in black and white, you don't need any hidden elements to it - there is a clear plan to create a federation of the eurozone."
This would leave Britain "on the fringes, with them making our laws for us" and the UK would not be able to do anything about it, Mr Grayling said.
In reference to the IMF's warning, he said the organisation had got its economic forecasts wrong in the past and it was "getting it wrong now", and claimed its chief, Christine Lagarde, was an "avowed, devoted Euro federalist".
But former Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls - once described by David Cameron as "the most annoying person in modern politics" - said the EU single market had been "great" for consumers while Sir Vince, Lib Dem business secretary under the coalition, said British businesses and workers "stand to lose substantially" from leaving.
Ryanair chief executive Mr O'Leary said the company was creating 450 new jobs in Britain as part of the $1.4bn it invests in the UK - but he warned this could have to be scaled back if the UK left the EU.
He also said it was a "certainty" that air fares and the costs of holidays would rise - although he has previously said ticket prices would not be affected by an EU exit and in 2004 described the EU as an "evil empire".
In February, he told ITV News: "I don't believe leaving the European Union will cause air fares to rise. The thing that will drive up air fares in Britain is the UK government's travel tax."
Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "George Osborne appeared today alongside one man who thinks that the EU is an evil empire and another who said that the chancellor does not understand economics.
"George Osborne is panicking about his failing campaign so he is resorting to ever more lurid scare stories."
Meanwhile, signatories to the letter backing Vote Leave include Superdrug founder Peter Goldstein, former Sony vice-president Steve Dowdle, Goldman Sachs managing director David Sismey, Tim Martin, chairman of pub chain JD Wetherspoon and Adrian McAlpine, from construction firm Sir Robert McAlpine.
Full roll-out of the welfare reform is now forecast in March 2022, an extension of a year - and 11 years after it was first announced.
Universal Credit, which replaces six current benefits with a single payment, is being rolled across the country.
It was originally scheduled to be completed in 2017 but has been beset by IT delays and costs have spiralled.
The revised scheduled, revealed in a written ministerial statement, is being attributed to extra work created by changes announced in the 2015 summer Budget, including limiting the child element of tax credits to two children.
Universal Credit currently has 279,000 claimants, and is available to new single jobseekers in every job centre across the UK.
Giving evidence to the Commons Public Accounts Committee, Robert Devereux, the permanent secretary at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), rejected MPs' suggestions the project could have been delivered quicker, saying: "The complexity of this undertaking is probably the largest thing this department has ever done."
His DWP colleague Neil Couling told the committee another of the reasons for the delay had been time spent planning for an "emergency brake" on migrants' welfare entitlement, which was part of former prime minister David Cameron's EU negotiations.
This is no longer a consideration following the UK's vote to leave the EU.
The Resolution Foundation think tank, which has long supported Universal Credit, said the government should consider whether the "current design is right for the new economic conditions Britain faces".
"With most independent economic forecasts pointing to higher inflation and lower real wage growth in the coming years, implementing Universal Credit in its current form risks deepening the squeeze on living standards facing low and middle income families," said the foundation's senior economic analyst David Finch.
After growing up in Armadale and Broxburn in West Lothian, he had studied painting at the Edinburgh College of Art and photography at the Royal College of Art in London. He then moved to New York to follow his dreams.
Those dreams became a reality. Graham travelled the world to take portrait pictures of celebrities including Michael Jackson, Tony Bennett and the White Stripes for Q magazine, The New York Times and the Guardian.
Graham had it all, but the pressures of his life resulted in an addiction to alcohol, cocaine and heroin. He was eventually sent to jail for four months for drugs possession, and spent a further five months in an immigration detention centre.
"I was drinking heavily," reflected Graham.
"People were doing drugs - something I had never done before. I was just like 'I'll try that'.
"What started off as partying and using sometimes with friends turned into a real serious habit, which turned into addiction and then became something I was totally incapable of dealing with."
The instinct of a photographer never left Graham, even at his most vulnerable point. As he spiralled further and further into his bleak, lonely addiction, he started taking pictures of himself. He didn't do it for anybody else, or for any reason, but - like many artists before him - he just instinctively expressed what was happening to him through his work.
Graham MacIndoe: Coming Clean is an exhibition of 25 of these photographs, and will be on display at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery until November.
Graham said: "I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror once, when I was in somebody's apartment when people were using drugs.
"I looked at myself and thought 'Wow - this is how bad I look'. I realised that photographing myself was more relevant than photographing other people."
Annie Lyden, International Photography Curator at the National Galleries of Scotland, said: "One of the compelling reasons for acquiring the works was they are really like nothing else I have seen.
"As a subject, you see it appearing in the history of photography. There are plenty of photographers who turn their attention to drug-taking, but normally the position is one of voyeurs and what was so interesting about Graham's work was that the camera was turned on himself, so there wasn't any sense of him exploiting anybody at their weakest and vulnerable moments.
"It was him in control entirely and, therefore, it was a rare insight into what his life was like."
With the help of his partner, the journalist and author Susan Stellin, he managed to escape the vicious grip of drug addiction.
Graham has been clean for nearly eight years and is back taking pictures of the world's most famous faces such as actor Matthew McConaughey. He also teaches photography at Parsons college in New York, the city he lives in with Susan.
The pair wrote Chancers: Addiction, Prison, Recovery, Love: One Couple's Memoir about their story.
Susan said: "I first saw these pictures when Graham accidently posted some online. It was during the period when we were not together.
"When I first saw them, it was really devastating for me. This was his life that I hadn't been privy to. I am really proud that he has put them out there and the reaction has largely been very positive."
Graham added: "I am certainly not glamorising it. I'm showing it, very bare bones, as to what it was like for me.
"What I really want people to take away from it is you can fall really far but you can get back on your feet and get clean and healthy and find recovery."
Fundraiser Derek Russell, 53, who regularly helped himself to collection cash, was reported to police by wife Jacqueline.
Russell, of Clover Court in Willesborough, Kent, stole £605 from the Royal British Legion.
He was given a six-month sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to repay the money.
Magistrates in Folkestone also sentenced him to 250 hours' community service.
Russell organised the annual appeal in Ashford from 2014 until November last year, collecting money on the streets and knocking on people's doors.
The court heard how the father-of-three, who had recently lost his job, regularly helped himself to £10 and £20 notes last year.
He spent the money on a mobile phone, dolls and a pram.
Emma Wright, defending, said he had been under great stress after losing his cleaning job, and had wanted to support his young family.
"He bitterly regrets what he's done. He's absolutely ashamed and disgusted in himself for betraying the trust invested in him," she told the court.
Russell said: "I've betrayed the trust to (sic) the Royal British Legion, and I'm very, very sorry."
Mrs Russell said "It was very hard for me to drop my husband in it."
Speaking in the Senedd chamber during tributes to 77-year-old Mr Morgan, she told fellow AMs: "He loved this place."
Mrs Morgan, who is AM for Cardiff North, added: "Losing Rhodri is a terrible personal blow to me and to the family... It is an aching loss."
Later the assembly confirmed Mr Morgan's funeral would be held in the Senedd on 31 May.
Former AM Lorraine Barrett, now a humanist celebrant, will conduct the public ceremony, which will begin at 11:00 BST.
A service of committal will be held at the Wenallt chapel, Thornhill Crematorium, the following day on 1 June at 14:00, and the assembly said all are welcome.
Mrs Morgan watched colleagues deliver praise for the former Welsh Labour leader from her seat in the Senedd chamber on Tuesday as other family members looked on from the public gallery.
"We've had, I would say, a roller coaster sort of life," Mrs Morgan said. "It's been rosettes, rosettes all the way."
"He had a wonderful life and he enjoyed every minute," she added, to the applause of her colleagues.
The tributes the family had received from all over Wales "had been a huge comfort", she said.
Rhodri Morgan's successor, Carwyn Jones, told AMs: "Last week we lost one of our nation's giants.
"He may be gone, but his name is written into our history."
Mr Jones was speaking after making a statement on Monday night's Manchester Arena suicide attack, which left 22 people dead.
To an emotional Senedd chamber, the first minister said Mr Morgan had "served with distinction" as first minister for nearly 10 years.
"He was somebody who commanded such respect but, of course, he was somebody who was down to earth," the Welsh Labour leader said.
"No ceremony, no airs and graces."
Mr Jones described Rhodri Morgan as a "hugely intelligent man with a fine mind" but who was "at home with anybody".
"He was a great mixer and a great character and he will be missed by his family, of course, but so many people around Wales and beyond," he said.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "He was a man who had a willingness to want to know, a thirst to understand and above all he was a genuine, decent and upright individual."
Referring to Mr Morgan's role after the turbulent first nine months of the Welsh Assembly, Mr Davies added: "We as a country owe him a great debt of gratitude for the way... he stabilised the ship, along with others, when this institution's future wasn't secure and there was a huge question mark.
"We are fortunate that he was there, at the helm, working with others, making sure that devolution did turn into a permanent part of our democracy".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said Mr Morgan well deserved to be called a "man of the people".
"He was always willing to engage, he was quick thinking. He was a real character and he was a patriot," she said.
His mantra was to do things differently in a "unique Welsh way", Mr Wood said.
"Without Rhodri Morgan Wales wouldn't be the country it is today," she added.
UKIP group leader and a former MP Neil Hamilton said he was in the House of Commons with Mr Morgan from 1987 to 1997.
"I warmed to him because it was immediately clear that whilst fiercely loyal to his own party he was always going to be his own man and a fully paid up member of the awkward squad," he said.
"As a selfless public servant he was universally respected across the political spectrum and loved as the warmest of human beings by legions of people he encountered in all walks of life."
He called him one of "the most admirable men I've had the pleasure to know".
In an emotional speech Liberal Democrat AM Kirsty Williams said Mr Morgan "stood out, and he stood taller than us... as a politician, as a leader, as a father figure and friend to those of us from the class of '99 and in the communities across Wales,".
"When my mother passed away he wrote not only to me but to my late father.
"My father couldn't believe that the first minister of Wales had taken the time to write to him about his loss," she told the Senedd, fighting tears.
Presiding Officer Elin Jones said Cardiff Bay would "never see the like of Rhodri Morgan again".
"For those of us who have served here since 1999, we will not forget his courage and boldness in creating and leading the Welsh Government.
"Rhodri ploughed his own furrow, and did so in order to do what he believed was best for this nation."
Former presiding officer Dafydd Elis Thomas told the chamber that he was "delighted that we are to celebrate his passing in this place, appropriately in this building next week".
"It's the building of the people of Wales," he said, adding: "Rhodri Morgan built the politics that made it possible."
The statue would be designed by Paul Kidby who illustrated many of the book covers for the Discworld books of Sir Terry, who lived locally.
Mr Kidby said: "It would be beneficial for Salisbury to have a permanent sculpture of Terry because he had such a big influence on popular culture."
The hope is to install the statue in the marketplace or Elizabeth Gardens.
Although Salisbury City Council's services committee has backed the plans, money still needs to be raised to build it and planning consent also needs to be obtained.
Sir Terry died last March aged 66, eight years after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
He lived in Broad Chalke, near Salisbury and played an active role in the community, visiting schools and supporting the local hospital.
His comic fantasy series sold millions around the world but he was also known for supporting research into the causes of Alzheimer's.
In 2009, he also became a campaigner for assisted suicide.
The campaign to build the statue is being led by Mr Kidby with the support of Sir Terry's family.
"Terry was always like, 'I don't want pigeons sitting on my head'," Mr Kidby continued.
"His take on it was always off on a tangent but we hope he will be pleased if it goes ahead."
The aim is to pay for the statue through crowd-funding and sponsorship from local companies.
A initial sketch has been made by the artist, but it will take about six months to build the life-size sculpture.
"It would be Terry, life-sized standing on a granite base which will have a depiction of Discworld on it.
"People would hopefully be able to stand next to Terry and hopefully interact with it," said Mr Kidby.
The Ring of Gullion team will check two rivers in County Armagh at Creggan and Forkhill.
They will be looking for eight specific river flies that are an indicator of the health of the water.
Their larvae live in the gravel and silt of the riverbed and are sensitive to pollution.
If they are not present, it indicates there is a problem.
Organisers have said the main problem in the area's watercourses are nutrients linked to farming.
The volunteers will receive training and will check the rivers once a month, reporting back the data.
The training is being provided by the Ballinderry Rivers Trust, the Riverfly Partnership and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency.
The Riverfly Partnership is a UK-wide scheme to monitor river quality, involving 100 organisations.
They include anglers, conservationists, entomologists, scientists and river managers.
The training is free.
The Foxes were bottom of the table in April, but seven months on, led by the goals of prolific striker Jamie Vardy, they have lost only one of their first 13 league matches.
Claudio Ranieri's in-form team host second-placed Manchester United next weekend, with the chance to extend their unlikely lead at the top.
Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who has been at the King Power Stadium since June 2011, tells Match of the Day 2 what is behind his team's remarkable rise.
Leicester's impressive form began in April when they were bottom of the table with 19 points, four points adrift of safety with eight games to go. Starting against West Ham on 4 April, they won six and drew one of their next eight games - if the league had started then, they would be even further clear at the top.
Kasper: "The way we finished last season has played a massive part in how we have started this one.
"For starters, we came into it with a lot of confidence, in contrast to last year when we were finding our feet in the Premier League and found it very difficult to win games at all - before Christmas we went more than three months without a victory.
"At the end of season, we found a style of play that works - it can be a bit scruffy because we are open, expansive and fast and we concede more goals than we want to, but it is effective and we are entertaining to watch.
"Manchester United are probably still reeling from what happened to them at our place last season when we beat them 5-3 and they will want some sort of revenge.
"But we will go into the game believing we can win it and our mentality at the moment is that we will always get at least a point.
"More than anything, though, we know what has got us here is hard work. We will not stop doing that.
Claudio Ranieri replaced Nigel Pearson as Foxes manager over the summer and added Paolo Benetti to his staff. But he also retained Pearson's right-hand men Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh as his assistant managers and has not made sweeping changes to the team. Of the Leicester side that started against Newcastle, only N'Golo Kante joined since Ranieri took charge.
Kasper: "It is to the manager's credit that he did not just come in with all his own people and change absolutely everything.
"He saw that he had a team and a style of play that was working quite well, and he also inherited a backroom team that were very good at what they did too and who knew the players already.
"There was a meeting early doors when he arrived where we said 'have a look at what we are doing - we have got a way we have been doing things for a few years'.
"Claudio has used it to his advantage. He does some things differently, of course, but part of the reason we have got the results we have is because he realised he did not have to alter too much, too soon."
Ranieri is known for being a hard taskmaster in training but he has given his Leicester players plenty of performance-related incentives, such as pizzas for clean sheets and, after Saturday's win at Newcastle, beers for the coach journey home.
Kasper: "Everyone is enjoying playing under Claudio - he is a very personable guy when he talks to you and gets his message across.
"What definitely helps is that he is able to speak to each player individually in their own language, something he does in team-talks when he is addressing the whole squad.
"He has the language skills to speak Spanish or French when he has to and make sure he is understood.
"That makes a big difference. For players coming to a new country things can be difficult enough even enough anyway, but not speaking the language makes thing very difficult. It's not a problem with Claudio, though."
Leicester have picked up 10 points from losing positions in six Premier League matches this season, more than any other top-flight team. Since their only league defeat of the season - against Arsenal on 26 September - they have won five of their last six league matches, including the last four.
Kasper: "We don't want to have to come back in matches, but it is testament to the character in our squad that we can do it when we have to.
"There was no specific match or moment when it started, it has been more of a gradual thing.
"We have a lot of players in our squad that have been here for three or four years, including myself.
"Sven-Goran Eriksson brought me here but the manager who signed a lot of us - Nigel Pearson - had the mentality that we should never stop and keep going until the end, and he looked for the same attitude in the players he brought in.
"When we fight back, we play really well but we played really well from the start against Newcastle on Saturday and it was nice to show we could take the lead and control a game - there is no need to come from behind when you do that.
"Of course we will lose some games but it is the way it happens that is important. Claudio has always said that he does not mind if we lose as long as it is in the right manner.
"Against Arsenal, they were ruthless but we never gave up and gave ourselves a chance in the game. It is easier to accept a defeat when you have given absolutely everything."
Jamie Vardy's goal against Newcastle meant he equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games - his next target is the all-time top-flight record of 12 consecutive games by Sheffield United's Jimmy Dunne in the old First Division in 1931-32.
Kasper: "I've known Jamie since he joined Leicester from Fleetwood in May 2012. The only thing that has changed about him since then is that he actually works even harder now than he did then.
"He struggled at first with the step up to the Championship but with hard work he made it, and now he is in the form of his life.
"At the moment Jamie thinks he is going to score every time he plays, and the rest of the team thinks he will too.

"To score as many goals as he does, you have to put yourselves in the right position and he does everything he can to give himself as many opportunities as he can.
"He hunts down loose balls and balls he has no right to win, and he wins them because of his endeavour. He makes a bad ball into a good ball and a good ball into a great one.
"That is so important to the success of the team. When we are in trouble, we know we can play the ball into the channel and Jamie will run it down.
"Not only does that mean the ball does not come straight back towards us, he puts the opposition defenders under so much pressure that it often leads to chances for us, and Jamie is sticking them away too."
Kasper Schmeichel was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Richard Walton met the officer in 1998, allegedly obtaining information about the family and their supporters.
The watchdog said he would have faced a disciplinary hearing but had retired.
Mr Walton said the Met had rejected the watchdog's findings and "did not plan to bring misconduct proceedings".
In January lawyers for Stephen's father Neville Lawrence unsuccessfully urged the force to halt Cdr Walton's retirement.
More on this story and other news from London
Mr Walton was temporarily moved from his job leading the counter-terrorism command in 2014, following the publication of the report by Mark Ellison QC into possible corruption and undercover policing linked to the Stephen Lawrence investigation.
Stephen was 18 when he was stabbed to death in April 1993 by a gang of white youths in Eltham, south-east London.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) examined allegations that Mr Walton, then an acting detective inspector, met an undercover officer known as N81.
He allegedly "obtained information pertaining to the Lawrence family and their supporters, potentially undermining the inquiry and public confidence".
The IPCC said if the fact the senior Met officer met the undercover officer had become public at the time, it "might well have caused very serious public concern".
The commission also looked into the role played by former Det Insp Robert Lambert, former Commander Colin Black and two other officers in arranging that meeting.
It found only Mr Lambert had potentially "played a part" and would have faced disciplinary proceedings if he too had not retired.
The other former officers, including former Commander Colin Black, were found to have no case to answer.
IPCC deputy chair Sarah Green said: "The force's reputation may have suffered immense damage had the meeting become public knowledge at the time.
"The IPCC found that Robert Lambert and Richard Walton both had a case to answer for discreditable conduct in that their actions could have brought the force into disrepute.
"As neither of the men are now serving police officers, it is not possible for misconduct proceedings to take place to determine whether or not the case would be proven."
On the IPCC's findings Mr Walton said: "It has taken the IPCC two years to investigate a single meeting I attended as a sergeant 18 years ago.
"The report makes clear that no information was passed to me about either the Lawrence family or its campaign. The Met formally rejected the IPCC's findings about me and did not plan to bring misconduct proceedings.
"In making its finding the IPCC has failed to understand racist crime and violent public disorder in London in 1998.
"The public have a right to be protected from groups who commit serious violent disorder. I have always made that my priority."
In a statement Mr Lawrence said the report "makes it clear that my family were wrongly spied upon" but spoke of his frustration that Mr Walton would avoid any disciplinary action.
"The police and the IPCC should have ensured that this investigation was concluded in good time to ensure that former Commander Walton could not have avoided disciplinary proceedings", he said.
In 2012, Gary Dobson and David Norris were found guilty of murdering Stephen and jailed for minimum terms of 15 years and two months and 14 years and three months respectively.
But first off, watch out "boy racers" - you could be hauled off for a surprise MOT test.
The Mid-Ulster Mail reports that the new initiative saw 21 cars get hit with out-of-the-blue inspections in Cookstown and Magherafelt, leading to a number of fines and a court day for one driver.
The move by PSNI and motor authorities came in response to reports of anti-social driving, but the paper says that many took to Facebook to complain that they were hauled off for an inspection despite their cars having no faults.
Could we see more of these surprise MOTs in the future?
Drivers in County Down also have problems, this time of a parking nature.
The Newry Reporter says a city centre trader is up in arms over plans to hike up on-street parking charges.
"Enough is enough" is the headline, with businessman Jack Murphy accusing Stormont policies of "driving people away from the city centre" and "failing Newry".
Crossing over to the west, one driver has been disqualified from driving - after it was discovered he hadn't carried a valid licence for 20 years.
The Fermanagh Herald reports that the 71-year-old in question had collided with the pillar of a house and said he couldn't remember what happened.
A court heard that the man's GP had suggested he "had a bit of a stroke". The elderly man, from Kesh, was fined £400 and disqualified for six months.
The paper also looks at the future of health services in the area, with the South West Acute Hospital the subject of a "heated public meeting" in Enniskillen.
The meeting, which no constituency MLAs attended the paper adds, was part of a consultation on what changes to the health service could mean to the local hospital.
Meanwhile, the South Belfast News this week leads with a sickening account from a 72-year-old man who was beaten on the street in broad daylight.
Charlie Hill was driving in his car when a "man came to the door and started roaring and shouting" before "battering" him.
Charlie, who was left with head and jaw injuries, added: "I didn't know him from a bar of soap. I have never been hit so hard in my life and I played hurley long before a helmet was required."
The victim's daughter, who came across him on the street shortly after the attack, said: "It wasn't a hijacking because his wallet and that was still in the car. It's just disgraceful that pensioners aren't even safe in their own streets anymore"
Elsewhere in the paper - can you help find a long-lost brother?
The South Belfast News reports on appeal from 77-year-old Gerald Marcootes, a Canadian, who visited Belfast to try to track down his brother, John Millar.
Gerald said their father was a wrestler in Belfast in the 1920s before moving to Canada. "I doubt there was many wrestlers living in Belfast so I would like to think someone would remember him."
After his half-brother was born, his father returned to Ireland with John. Now, Gerald is trying to track him down.
Up on the north coast, are "jobs in jeopardy?"
It's the question posed by the front page of the Coleraine Chronicle, with a report the town could miss out on 50 jobs if a new discount store is not given the go-ahead for a retail park.
Coleraine traders, however, say the Home Bargains store will affect the town centre and that the company should look at a more central site for the store.
Store access is also a hot topic elsewhere in the newspaper, after a man carried his wheelchair-bound mother through the doors of a building society in protest at the lack of a wheelchair ramp.
Mark McGregor, from Portstewart, said he was forced to carry his mother up the steps for an appointment.
The paper reports that Halifax had asked his mother, Sylvia Simpson, to travel to Ballymena for the appointment instead. Previously she had to conduct her appointments with staff on the street.
The front page lead of the Portadown Times is dedicated to anti-social behaviour, under the headline: "Efforts to stamp out trouble continue".
The paper says that the PSNI od expected to maintain a zero tolerance approach in the Meadow Lane and Garvaghy Road areas after consecutive weeks of trouble - but that it won't be able to sustain the level of patrols because of a lack of resources.
Speaking of noisy neighbours, the quiet forests of County Tyrone could be set to get a lot less quiet.
The Mid-Ulster Mail says that the rat-tat-tapping of woodpeckers can be heard in the Parkanaur, Drummanor and Caledon forest areas, an "exciting development" for birdwatchers.
While woodpeckers are common in continental Europe, in Ireland people are more accustomed to that blue animated lad on TV with the annoying laugh.
Hopes are high the (real-life) woodpeckers could make Tyrone a permanent home.
From forests to parks, and concern that a plan for Newry's future does not carry enough green spaces.
A campaign group says that a strategy document for the city centre does not include any plans for a park, a revelation that came as a "real shocker", the Newry Reporter says.
And finally, if slow news is your thing then how about the man who travelled from County Armagh to Switzerland on a tractor?
Step forward Chrisy Smart and the Portadown Times. We don't want to spoil it, but his 1,000 mile, three-day journey at 35mph has everything any good Irish travel story should have.
Incredulous French cops, confused hotel guests and a slow dash across the Swiss border after our driving hero realised he didn't have the right documents.
Chrisy, who told the paper he's "pretty laid-back", says "it was the best way to see Europe".
We don't know if intertractoring is set to take over from interrailing but, Chrisy, we salute you. Just watch out for a surprise MOT on the tractor.
David Woodhouse, 65, of Rothwell Avenue, Grimsby, was found guilty of three counts of rape and 12 indecent assault charges following a trial at the town's Crown Court.
Humberside Police said the girls were abused over a six year period.
Woodhouse, who denied all the charges, was also placed on the sex offenders register for life.
Det Insp Peter Thorp said the conviction followed a "painstaking investigation" led by Det Helen Garrod.
"His two victims suffered the most unimaginable experiences that no child should ever have to and showed incredible courage and bravery throughout the investigation.
"I sincerely hope the victims will now be able to rebuild their lives again."
He added he hoped it sent a "strong message to those victims who have never come forward but suffered abuse at any point in their lives."
The veterans, led by Cayle Royce will take on the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge later this year.
Trooper Royce, 29, from Dartmouth in Devon, suffered serious injuries serving in Afghanistan that put him in a coma for several months.
He will be joined by Paddy Gallagher, of Cambridgeshire, Nigel Rogof, from Hereford and Devon's Lee Spencer.
"Sixty per cent of rowing is all leg work. In that sense we will have to work a bit harder," said Trooper Royce.
The Row2Recovery team will be competing against about 16 other teams in the race, which is scheduled to start in December from La Gomera in the Canary Islands and finish about six weeks later in Antigua.
Trooper Royce said: "The amputations shouldn't have too much of an effect on us.
"I think we will still be competitive.
"Sea conditions will dictate a lot of how the race progresses, so I think it will be an exciting challenge and I think the other crews will have a bit of competition."
He will be joined by:
Ms Sturgeon, who is bidding to lead the SNP after Alex Salmond's resignation, said the Smith Commission had to go a long way to deliver on promises made.
The main UK parties have said they were committed to devolving new powers, expected to include welfare and tax.
Ms Sturgeon said the parties would face a backlash if they were not delivered.
She told the Sunday Times: "I've said it directly to Lord Smith - we go into this in good faith. We won't get everything we want from it.
"It is not going to deliver independence but it has to go a very long way to deliver what people out there think was promised to them. It has to be a comprehensive package.
"Between the 45% who voted 'Yes' and a sizeable number who voted 'No' because they thought that was the route to more powers, there is a powerful public majority out there for change.
"In the few days before the referendum the language being used was the language of substantial radical change - devo max, something close to federalism, home rule. That is the expectation that has been generated.
"Unless we end up with a package that is substantial the backlash against the Westminster parties is going to be severe."
Earlier this week Lord Smith - whose appointment was announced by Prime Minister David Cameron in the wake of the referendum - warned it will "not be easy" to get agreement from political parties.
He said those involved in the talks would require "courage" and "compromise" - but he was confident they would rise to the challenge.
The Smith Commission aims to get agreement between the SNP, Scottish Labour, the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Greens on the way forward by 30 November.
A "command paper", setting out the issues, is also due to be published by 31 October, with draft legislation unveiled by 25 January.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, thousands of supporters of Scottish independence took part in a rally outside the Scottish parliament.
The rally, organised under the Voice Of The People banner, heard from speakers urging people to carry on with the campaign.
Speaking at the event, SNP MSP Marco Biagi said: "True power has not been given back to Westminster, it has been lent to them and one day we will take it back."
At an event in Perth on Saturday for Liberal Democrat activists, Scottish Lib Dem leader, Willie Rennie, has warned independence supporters not to seek an "ultra-extreme" form of devolution.
He said: "An attempt from nationalists to redefine home rule and federalism in an ultra-extreme form is perhaps understandable but it is not something that will create a sustainable settlement that will stand the test of time."
Sergeant Guy Bates said he heard the "whoosh" of a Javelin anti-tank missile, seconds before it landed.
Capt Tom Sawyer, 26, of Hertfordshire, and Cpl Danny Winter, 28, from Stockport, were killed in the explosion in central Helmand in January 2009.
Two other soldiers were injured in the blast, which was ordered by the Danish Army, the inquest heard.
The men were among a group of British troops taking part in a joint operation with the Danish against the Taliban, the inquest heard.
Sgt Bates, one of the men injured in the explosion, said the team were providing covering fire from a rooftop when mortars fired by the Danes started landing closer to their position.
"This was when the hairs on the back of my neck started to stick up," he said.
Sgt Bates, who has since left the Army, said that Capt Sawyer was on a radio alerting his superiors to the imminent danger when small arms fire started.
"At that point I was on my knees waving. It was not automatic, it was deliberately single shot and quite accurate," he said.
"I was pretty sure that we were going to get hit by something..."
"There was quite a bit of cursing: 'What do these plonkers think they are doing?'" he said.
"That message seemed to have got through because the small arms fire stopped."
But Sgt Bates said, a couple of minutes of later he heard a "whoosh" sound.
"I saw a light go into the air and I assumed that it was a flare," he said.
"Just after that I remember seeing the impact and just for a split second everything illuminated and I saw it hit Danny and everything went orange.
"I could hear Tom and I was scrabbling around in trying to find him. I applied a dressing to his head. I was also calling for a medic.
"I was expecting something else to come back down on us and I was trying to get everyone off the roof."
Investigations into the incident have shown that the missile was fired by British personnel, but that the order was given by a lieutenant in the Danish Army - referred to only as Soldier A.
The Danish soldiers have declined to attend the inquest and their evidence will be given through witness statements.
Sgt Bates told Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner David Ridley that he had concerns about a previous joint operation with the Danes.
British forces had created a "restricted fire area" to reduce the chances of friendly fire, he said.
Sgt Bates explained to the coroner that there was a "robust procedure" that British troops went through before firing artillery, mortar shells or calling for air support to target an enemy.
Asked whether the British troops were "properly resourced" in January 2009, Sgt Bates replied: "Not ideally.
"I think we were given enough to get on with the job.
"Were we properly resourced? We would always want something extra. The Americans call us 'The Borrowers' and we would make do with what we could get.
"Should we have had more specialist kit and more boys? Yes."
Capt Sawyer was serving with 7 (Sphinx) Commando Battery, 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery.
He was in Helmand province deployed on operations as a fire support team commander attached to Zulu Company, 45 Commando Royal Marines.
Cpl Winter was a specialist mortar fire controller and was serving in Helmand province with the mortar troop of Zulu Company, 45 Commando Royal Marines.
His move came ahead of several extraord inary general meetings, which had been called to remove him.
However, Mr Mistry said he would pursue "governance reform" at Tata, and work to "regain lost ethical ground".
Mr Mistry was ousted as chairman of holding company Tata Sons by the board in October.
He had led the conglomerate since December 2012.
When the holding company unexpectedly replaced Mr Mistry with his predecessor Ratan Tata on 24 October, it gave no explanation or details about its decision.
But analysts said there had been a clash over strategy, with the Tata family unhappy at Mr Mistry's policy of looking to sell off parts of the business - including Tata's European steel business - rather than holding on to assets and extending the firm's global reach.
Tata Sons subsequently moved to force Mr Mistry out of all parts of the business.
It had called four extraordinary general meetings for this week to remove Mr Mistry from the boards of Tata Steel, Tata Motors - whose brands include Jaguar Land Rover - Tata Chemicals and Indian Hotel Group.
In his letter of resignation to shareholders on Monday, Mr Mistry said the events of the past eight weeks had been about saving a legacy. "A legacy of values and ethics inherited from the founder of the Tata group, Jamsetji Tata".
He said that: "Unknown to the outside world, I had confronted and was grappling with serious governance problems and ethical issues for a considerable period of time."
Mr Mistry said it was now time to "shift gears, up the momentum and be more incisive in securing the best interests of the Tata Group", which was why he had decided to step down.
Tata Sons is one of India's oldest conglomerates and is made up of more than 100 companies, including Tata Motors, Tata Power and the IT giant, Tata Consultancy Services.
In a statement, it said Mr Mistry's resignation was a "deliberate strategy on his part, knowing fully well that the overwhelming majority of the shareholders were not in support of his actions".
The holding company went on to say that Mr Mistry continued to make "baseless, unsubstantiated and malicious allegations".
Mr Mistry had been a director of Tata Sons since 2006, it added, and had been fully involved in all key decisions.
The eight-story building in midtown Manhattan is being demolished to make way for a high-end hotel.
The incident happened about 10:30 local time (14:30 GMT), sending dozens of firefighters and emergency workers to the scene.
It is unclear what caused the collapse. The scaffolding and netting on the front of the building were undisturbed.
A 27-story, 170-room luxury hotel is planned for the site.

Thomas had been out on his own after making a break 50km from the finish before being caught in the final 5km.
Three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome was content to ride in the peloton, with the Olympic road races starting next Saturday.
Two crashes in the earlier amateur ride saw the race delayed by 30 minutes.
When things got back under way Thomas made a move to break up the peloton and catch up with the six-man breakaway.
Thomas then made a second break going up Box Hill and soon found himself on his own.
With the peloton seemingly in total disarray after Thomas' first move it looked like Team Sky would have their first win in the event.
However, the chasing riders slowly ate into his lead in the final 20km and eventually overtook the Team GB man in the final 5km.
He told BBC Sport: "I wanted to get rid of a few people at Box Hill and I ended up on my own.
"I had to bite the bullet and try and go. I could have done with just someone with me to try and give me a breather.
"If maybe I'd stayed with the group a bit longer I might have had more of a chance, but it's great to ride here in Britain."

In court was David James Carlton, 26, from Great Victoria Street.
He faces a number of charges including attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm and possessing a weapon - a crutch - with intent to cause GBH.
A judge said it was "one of the worst types" of domestic violence he had seen.
"I'm not even going to dream of entertaining a release on bail," he added.
Mr Carlton is also accused of causing criminal damage to various items including a TV and mobile phone, stealing his alleged victim's keys and SIM card, false imprisonment, causing actual bodily harm, common assault and breaching a non-molestation order on dates between 24-26 March this year.
Giving evidence to the court, a detective constable said a neighbour of the alleged victim called police to report that his neighbour had been beaten up by her boyfriend.
She said when officers arrived at her property in the Cregagh estate, they noticed multiple injuries including - cuts and bruises to her head, "footwear marks" to her head and stomach and multiple bruises to her hands, arms and stomach.
The officer said the alleged victim had claimed that Mr Carlton, who appeared in the dock with his foot in plaster and walking with a crutch, had used the crutch and injured foot to "hit her repeatedly" before damaging her TV, a radiator and a vase.
A defence solicitor said his client's case was that his ex-partner called him claiming to have been attacked by three men so he went "to comfort her" even though that was a breach of the non-molestation order.
Refusing the bail application however, the judge said that "on the face of it, this is one of the worst types of domestic violence".
Remanding Mr Carlton into custody to appear again on 17 April, the judge also declared there was "no way in the world" that the case should stay in the lower courts but should be prosecuted in the Crown Court.
But it can still make for some interesting comparisons.
There is Nigeria, for example - a country of around 175 million people, and the 2013 African champions - which has been unable to field a team capable of qualifying for this year's finals.
And then there is the tiny island nation of Cape Verde - population 500,000 - which will be at the Nations Cup for the second tournament in its history, and the second in a row.
Last time around, Cape Verde got through a group containing hosts South Africa, former champions Morocco and Angola, before putting up a decent fight against Ghana in the quarter-final.
Ranked seventh in Africa, above Nigeria and South Africa, they are rated 40th in the world, above the likes of Turkey and the Republic of Ireland.
They have achieved the feat in much the same way Algeria has climbed up the rankings, by luring Europe-based professionals to play for a country with which they have ancestral links.
This time around, the team from the islands that lie 500km (310 miles) off the west coast of Africa will be up against three former champions: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tunisia and Zambia.
Just like Cape Verde, Burkina Faso and Zambia have shown that anything is possible at a Nations Cup - with Burkina Faso unexpectedly reaching the 2013 final, having never won any of their previous 21 Nations Cup matches away from home.
When Chipolopolo won the championship against all expectations in 2012, they were driven on by an unseen power - namely, their determination to reach the final in Gabon to honour the 18 players, and 12 other officials, who died in a plane crash shortly after taking off from the capital, Libreville, in 1993.
Should the same sort of inspiration work this time around, then South Africa - already revitalised under coach Ephraim "Shakes" Mashaba - could be a force to be reckoned with following the death of their captain Senzo Meyiwa in October.
He was shot dead during a botched robbery and his replacement, Dean Furman, has already said Bafana Bafana want to win the tournament for the late goalkeeper.
First, they will have to get out of one of the toughest groups in Nations Cup history, with four-time champions and perennial favourites Ghana, Africa's highest-ranked side Algeria and 2002 runners-up Senegal, who conceded once in qualifying.
That will be a draining exercise, but so will any sort of progress because of the logistical challenges facing most of the teams in Equatorial Guinea, which is unexpectedly hosting the competition.
Congo-Brazzaville have already been told their hotel does not have enough rooms for them, prompting coach Claude LeRoy to describe the experience as unlike anything he had seen at eight previous Nations Cups, which must be saying something.
Burkina Faso found their accommodation so bad they left and looked for another hotel just 48 hours before their first game - while DR Congo's hotel had no hot water and not enough food to feed the squad.
Did you know?
Africa Cup of Nations: Group by group stats
The carrot for teams prepared to fight is that the accommodation will only improve the further they go - with the pick of the best hotels becoming available as the losers go home.
Ivory Coast, as ever, will fancy staying a long time, as will Cameroon, revitalised after a disastrous World Cup.
How long Cape Verde stick around depends on whether the David-beating-Goliath element that has been so prevalent in recent African football history continues in Equatorial Guinea - another nation of less than a million who reached the quarter-finals when co-hosting the tournament three years ago.

The service for Marjorie and her husband, Michael, both 83, was held in Drumcree Parish Church in Portadown.
The pensioners' bodies were discovered by their daughter and son-in-law at their house in the town last month.
Paddy Cawdery told the funeral his brother "possessed a bright and inquisitive mind".
He said he used it to benefit others through the medical and veterinary communities in Britain and Ireland.
In his eulogy, Marjorie's nephew, Colin Wilkins, said: "She loved life and made everyone around her happy, with her positive sense of fun - and the fact that she was always more interested in other people rather than herself.
"Nobody who knew Marjorie will ever forget how special she was - we will carry memories of her in our hearts forever."
Rev Gary Galway told mourners that no-one could dispute that a horrible act had been committed and the family had been devastated by it.
However, he said they were there to celebrate the couple's lives and not the "unspeakable evil and wickedness" which took those lives away.
"A person once said that it is not words, but actions that speak louder and to witness love in action is a beautiful thing," he added.
"I have witnessed this love in action through the family, through friends, through the church and through the community and I have to say it is beautiful."
The funeral was told the couple met while working in Uganda and had spent a happy lifetime together. They married in Entebbe in 1962 before moving to Northern Ireland.
A 40-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murders.
Thomas Scott McEntee, from Moorfield Court in Kilkeel, County Down, is due to appear in court again on 23 June.
Didier Deigna, known by the stage name Pepito, drowned at a beach in the small town of Jacqueville in southern Ivory Coast on Sunday, it said.
Magic System are particularly popular in French-speaking West Africa and in France.
Reports say Pepito died while trying to save another person who was drowning.
"For the last 16 years, Pepito was our backing vocalist, our drummer, but above all the conductor with our group Magic System," the band added in a statement.
Pepito's tragic loss comes a week after the sudden death of influential Congolese musician Papa Wemba, who collapsed on stage while performing in Ivory Coast's main city, Abidjan.

A military spokesman said "surgical air strikes" were targeting about 30-40 militants in the city of Marawi.
The violence erupted after a failed army raid to capture a top militant leader. Gunmen are said to have taken hostages and freed prison inmates.
Thousands of people are reported to have fled the city.
Marawi is a mainly Muslim city in Lanao del Sur province on the southern island of Mindanao. The province is a stronghold for the Maute group, which has pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group.
On Tuesday, Philippine troops tried to capture Isnilon Hapilon, a leader of the Abu Sayyaf militant group who has also pledged allegiance to IS. He is on a US terror watchlist.
But the raid failed and dozens of gunmen came out on to the streets of Marawi, reportedly flying IS flags.
At least 20 people, including 13 militants and five soldiers, are reported to have been killed in subsequent fighting.
About a dozen hostages are also reported to have been taken from a church and troops say they are investigating reports of civilian deaths.
The militants have also freed more than 100 inmates from two prisons. Reports said gunfire and explosions could be heard across the city, and some buildings had been set on fire.
"The military is conducting precise, surgical operations to flush them out," said military spokesman Jo-Ar Herrera. "The situation is very fluid and movements are dynamic because we wanted to out-step and out-manoeuvre them."
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte imposed martial law in Mindanao on Tuesday in response to the violence, and cut short a visit to Russia.
Martial law allows the use of the military to enforce order and the detention of people without charge for long periods.
This is only the second time martial law has been declared since the fall in 1986 of President Ferdinand Marcos. | A British Muslim man accused of trying to joining Islamic State has told a jury he fled the UK after fearing for his safety.

The brewer said revenue growth in 2015 would have been "much higher" if it had had the capacity to meet demand for its beers.
BrewDog has invested more than £20m in its Ellon brewery, increasing brewing capacity from 200,000 hectolitres per year to one million hectolitres.
It is also establishing its first base in the US, building a new 100,000 sq ft brewery in Columbus, Ohio. The facility, which is part of a $25m (£17.6m) expansion project in North America, is expected to be ready in September this year.
In its results statement, the company said: "As well as growing at 51%, 2015 was all about putting the capacity, people and infrastructure in place for our next five years of sustained fast growth and we are now in a position where we have 1.5 million hl (hectolitres) of brewhouse capacity.
"To put this in perspective, our 2015 output was 134,000 hl so we now have capacity to burn.
"In addition, brewing on our bigger system in Ellon in 2016 should have a significant and positive impact on our 2016 gross margin as we are able to brew our beers more efficiently."
BrewDog also reported it had now raised more than £14m in the fourth round of its UK Equity for Punks crowdfunding scheme.
It has set a target of £25m by the time the round closes later this month.
The 35-year-old from Glasgow began his impressive round with six successive birdies at Victoria Clube de Golfe, and made just one bogey.
English trio Eddie Pepperell, Matthew Baldwin and Callum Shinkwin are in a group of five at seven under.
Ireland's three-time major winner Padraig Harrington and Scotland's 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie both hit 65s.
Defending champion Andy Sullivan ended the first day on four under, the same score as Sweden's Alex Noren, who is trying to win for the fourth time in nine European Tour events.
Warren, who was a high as 48 in the world rankings last year, has struggled this season but a fifth place at the recent Alfred Dunhill Links Championship made sure he would keep his European Tour card.
The Scot moved up to 67th place in the Race to Dubai with a share of 22nd at last weekend's British Masters.
"I think I've had six or seven birdies in a row but never at the start of the round," he said.
"It's an absolutely perfect start. Everything was going right for me, just the right numbers and landing it close and a couple of tap-ins.
"You really have to control your expectations I think more than anything else. You kind of want to just keep hitting it close and making birdies and realise golf is not that easy.
"There are going to be a few holes you're going to have to dig in and overall I was pleased to keep moving forward on the back nine and come back in two under."
Greater Manchester Police were called to the Westcoast Train Care facility on Kirkmanshulme Lane, Longsight, just before 02:30 BST.
A cordon was put in place while the bag was examined.
Police at the scene later said there was "not believed to be any threat to the public" and the investigation was passed to British Transport Police.
However, delays of up to 30 minutes to and from the station were expected until 11:00.

Rossco Stern, 23, Charlie Hill, 33, and Gary Thoms, also 33, carried out the attack after turning up uninvited to the Halloween party in Dundee.
Sheriff George Way described the three men as "feral thugs".
Stern and Hill both admitted the charges and Thoms was found guilty by a jury following a trial.
Stern and Hill were each jailed for three years and two months, while Thoms was sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
A trial at Dundee Sheriff Court heard that the men were thrown out of the party on 1 November 2015 after sparking an argument.
CCTV footage showed victims Liam Holt, Fraser Nicoll and Michael Craib being attacked as they tried to flee the attackers.
Mr Holt was seen being thrown to the ground before one of the gang repeatedly struck him on the head with a baseball bat while another, identified as Thoms, kicked his head.
Knives were seen being brandished and repeatedly used on the victims, who eventually escaped.
Stern, from Glasgow, and Hill, from Dundee, each admitted two charges of assault to severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Thoms, 33, from Dundee, was found guilty of assaulting Liam Holt to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Kevin McCarron, defending Stern said: "He fully accepts custody is merited and he acknowledges the consequences could have been far more serious.
Solicitor advocate Jim Laverty, for Hill, said: "He is utterly ashamed of himself and utterly ashamed of watching the CCTV."
Mike Short, defending Thoms, said his client realised there was no excuse for his behaviour but insisted the death of his father had an impact on him as well as terminal cancer suffered by his grandfather.
All three will be supervised for a year in the community following their release.
Sheriff Way said: "The attack I saw on CCTV footage was absolutely atrocious.
"They were being pursued by you like a pack of vicious dogs.
"They were no threat to you or any of your friends."
Falcon and Pointer, based in Swansea in South Wales, used automatic dialling technology to make the calls.
An investigation by the Claims Management Regulator (CMR) found the firm had set out to "plague the public and rip off consumers".
Meanwhile the government has confirmed that a promised crackdown on nuisance calls will be in place by the spring.
The CMR said that Falcon and Pointer had coerced people into signing contracts without giving them enough time to understand the terms and conditions.
It described it as a "serious breach" of the rules, and stripped the company of its operating licence.
It had previously been warned about its practices by both the CMR and the Information Commissioner's Office.
"Falcon and Pointer has demonstrated the worst excesses of the industry," said Kevin Rousell, head of the CMR.
"This firm clearly set out to plague the public and rip off consumers."
"They ignored warnings by us and the Information Commissioner's Office, and today have had their licence revoked as a result of that wilful ignorance." he said.
Under new laws being introduced by the government, direct marketing companies will soon have to display their phone numbers to customers, so preventing anonymous calls.
Research for the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has shown that around 20% of marketing calls do not provide a valid caller ID.
Companies that do not show numbers will face fines of up to £500,000.
The government said the new rules would make it easier for consumers to refuse unwanted calls, and then to report them.
It will also help the ICO take enforcement action against persistent offenders.
"Being pestered by marketing calls is annoying at the best of times, and at its worst it can bring real misery for the people on the receiving end," said Baroness Neville-Rolfe, the minister for data protection.
"There is no simple solution to the problem of nuisance calls, but making direct marketing companies display their phone number will help consumers and regulators take action."
Since January 2012, the ICO has issued fines totalling £2m for nuisance calls.
In 2015, there were 170,000 complaints.
The Department of Culture Media and Sport has launched a consultation on the issue, which will close on 23 February.
Measures will be in force by the spring, the government promised.
They had received complaints from politicians about the video, posted by comedian Tanmay Bhat on Snapchat.
Unlike in the US where it is the second most downloaded app, Snapchat is not popular in India, except among teenagers. As of 1 June, it was only 89th on the Google Play store according to App Annie, a company that ranks apps by downloads.
The offending video would probably have had only a few views, but for the explosive backlash it faced on social media which was then picked up by mainstream media.
Reposted on other platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, and linked to news reports by local and global media, the video ended up getting well over 200,000 views.
This is the latest in a list of examples of the Streisand Effect in India, where an attempt to suppress something has the unintended effect of publicising it more widely.
The phenomenon is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, after she sued a photographer and a website for $50m, demanding the removal of an aerial photograph of her home from a collection of 12,000 pictures taken to document coastal erosion.
Only six people had seen the photo before Streisand's failed lawsuit. Over 420,000 people viewed the photo in a single month soon after.
Authors in India such as journalist Rana Ayyub, who recently launched her book Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a Cover Up, are also experiencing this phenomenon.
The book title refers to the 2002 riots when the Gujarat government, under then chief minister Narendra Modi, was accused of having supported violence against Muslims.
Mr Modi's famously thin-skinned supporters went after the book. Even before it was available, 200 negative reviews had been posted on the Amazon page that listed the book, according to the author.
As of 1 June, the page had 1,300 customer reviews of which 70% were strongly negative, with the lowest possible rating of one star. Some of those reviews were identical.
Ms Ayyub said the online attack increased the buzz around the book. "It got picked up by the global media, so it was great for a self-published book that was launched without fanfare. I've had thousands of downloads, and there are 15,000 copies in the market in the first week."
Similarly, television journalist Barkha Dutt's memoirs This Unquiet Land faced the "attack of the trolls" earlier this year. As of 1 June, the Amazon page listing her book had 4,100 reviews, 95% of which were strongly negative with one-star ratings.
Twitter users have known this phenomenon for years.
In 2012, an unknown businessman called Ravi Srinivasan in southern India tweeted that a young politician linked to the then-ruling Congress party had amassed a lot of wealth. The politician filed a complaint, and the police arrested the businessman the next morning.
There was an explosion of support for Mr Srinivasan, who became a hero on prime-time television and other media.
His Twitter following grew from 16 to 2,300 in 48 hours and the tweet, originally seen by a handful of followers, reached hundreds of thousands, via television, newspapers and social media.
Heavy-handed legal action that aims to suppress information frequently has the reverse effect.
In April 2014, a book called Gas Wars: Crony Capitalism and the Ambanis was self-published by three authors.
Two companies headed by the Ambani brothers, who are among India's richest men, sent four legal notices for defamation to the authors, websites Amazon and Flipkart which had listed the book for sale, and even a publication that had carried a review of the book.
One notice demanded damages of 1bn rupees ($15m; £10.3m).
This legal notice helped catapult a book on the arcane subject of gas pricing into the global media spotlight, with stories in Newsweek and the New York Times, among others.
"The newspapers and television channels had ignored Gas Wars, but the legal notices made news," co-author Paranjoy Guha Thakurta says. "Many rushed out to buy the book before it got banned."
The episode led to another book by two of those authors. Sue The Messenger, also self-published, focused on the "legal harassment by corporates" that shackle reporters and writers.
A more recent case involved a ponytailed, self-styled management guru called Arindam Chaudhuri and his Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM).
The IIPM was the focus of much controversy, which it partly drowned out with enormous spends on large newspaper ads.
Its favourite tool, however, were legal threats against authors and journalists, usually filed from remote parts of India, forcing respondents to travel to those courts.
One such notice got Penguin to remove a chapter on Mr Chaudhuri from a book it had published in 2011.
Not everyone caved in. Maheshwer Peri, whose publication Careers 360 faced over a dozen lawsuits from Mr Chaudhuri and IIPM, fought every one of the cases in courts across the country.
Every new case filed by IIPM brought renewed attention to the three articles published in 2009 that Mr Chaudhuri was trying to suppress, Mr Peri pointed out.
Over the years, Mr Chaudhuri may have finally learnt about the Streisand Effect, but at a high cost.
Last year, after a series of adverse orders in various courts, IIPM announced it was shutting down all its campuses in India.
The Streisand Effect had found its mark again.
And then it didn't happen. Europe breathed again and even dared to believe that faith in the European project had been restored. Yet the story of 2017 is actually how little has changed.
The great mobiliser for the European cause has been Donald Trump.
Whatever their frustrations with Brussels, those who argue for deeper European integration see the rollercoaster of his presidency as strengthening their case, and some EU nations have sought to tighten the European embrace.
The year's turning point was judged to be the election of Emmanuel Macron.
He had campaigned for the French presidency on an openly pro-European ticket.
He promised change: to reform the sclerotic French economy, to re-engineer the European project and to revive the Franco-German relationship.
Now, in the dog days of summer, momentum has been lost. The honeymoon has passed. President Macron's popularity has slumped below 40%. After the first three months in office, Nicolas Sarkozy's approval rating was 67%.
In France, a familiar script is unfolding. A new president plans to reform the "code du travail", the weighty labour code, making it easier to hire and fire workers. Some unions fear their collective bargaining rights are being undermined. Strikes and protests are planned.
Even as Mr Macron prepares to unveil the details of his plans this week, he cannot hide his doubts. "France," he says, "isn't a reformable country. It's a country that hates reforms." His party has a large parliamentary majority but, as in the past, the battle for France's future will play out on the streets.
President Macron's fortunes are a reminder that the anti-establishment mood has not abated; voters' loyalties have shallow roots and shift easily.
Another test of European opinion arrives on 24 September, when Germany goes to the polls. The debate, so far, is muted. Little has changed from 2013, when the campaign was fought around Angela Merkel's safe pair of hands. She is again ahead in the polls, the candidate not of reform but stability.
There is much to argue over, however; low wages; the failing infrastructure and the deceptions of parts of the auto industry. Some of the big German carmakers are facing new allegations of collusion following the diesel emissions scandal.
Abroad, there is no inclination to exert German leadership beyond being the anchor of the EU.
Crises are being managed rather than addressed. Mrs Merkel has insisted that accepting a million refugees, as happened in 2015, will never be repeated.
The German chancellor is dependent on President Erdogan of Turkey keeping refugees off the front pages. If he doesn't approve of what Berlin is doing, his coastguard can turn a blind eye towards boats leaving Turkey for Greece.
It is no coincidence that in the past week the numbers of migrants arriving in Greece has edged up again, with the recent souring of German-Turkish relations.
In Italy, there is utter weariness and anger at the failure of the rest of Europe to share the refugee burden. The Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti says that unmanaged migration from Libya is "threatening the social and democratic fabric of Italy".
So, Italy has been active in Libya, helping the Libyan coastguard prevent migrant boats leaving North Africa.
There are reports of traffickers being paid off and of tribes in southern Libya being funded to turn back economic migrants heading north.
In the past couple of months, the numbers arriving in Italy have fallen.
Europe seems to be edging towards setting up refugee reception camps in Africa.
Italy will be the next test case to determine whether populism in Europe has reached its high-water mark.
It will hold elections in 2018, and Europe will be on the ballot.
Since joining the euro, the Italian economy has stagnated.
Despite recent flickers of improvement, it has the second lowest growth in the EU.
The government in Rome wants Brussels to ease the rules on tax and spending.
Waiting in the wings are a raft of anti-European parties, and Silvio Berlusconi could yet re-emerge as a politician of influence.
New fault lines have emerged between countries in Eastern and Central Europe and the rest of Europe.
Poland and Hungary are chafing at directives from Brussels.
Poland continues to ignore protests from the European Commission over plans to change its judiciary.
Negotiations over Brexit continue but are marked by accusations. Brussels is urging the UK to start talking "seriously". The UK is calling on the EU to show greater "flexibility".
It is possible that the EU will decide in October that sufficient progress has not been made on issues such as the UK's bill for leaving the EU so blocking a move to the next and crucial phase of Brexit - deciding the future trading relationship between the UK and Europe.
Some officials are speaking of the need for both sides to peer over the cliff edge, to feel the sweat of a breakdown, before there is real progress.
In the UK, the Bank of England has downgraded growth forecasts for this year and next. Major international companies, such as BMW, IBM and Google, are continuing to invest in the UK but the Bank's governor, Mark Carney, has warned business investment has been slower than it would have been.
The Germans say their exports to the UK are down by 3%. The business communities are urging putting "shared economic interests first".
But that is not the priority for Europe's leaders. They want to safeguard European unity, and, whatever the economic benefits, they are adamant the UK must not end up better off than if it had stayed inside the EU.
The eurozone economy has revived, but it has removed a sense of urgency in Europe. It grew 0.6% in the second quarter. Unemployment is falling, even in France.
The popular mood in Europe is less Eurosceptic.
The fear of other countries leaving the EU seems overstated. For some, President Trump threatens to erode the international liberal order, but that only encourages Europe to be bolder in looking after its own interests.
But most of the factors that gave rise to Europe's anti-establishment parties have not disappeared: those left behind by globalisation, inequality, the insecurity of the middle class, the failure to manage migration and the terror attacks that since the start of 2015 have killed more than 300 people in Europe.
Europe's leaders, especially President Macron, have spoken of reforming the EU by strengthening bailout funds, by bolstering the eurozone with a finance minister, by greater supervision of national tax and spending.
But Europe's crisis grew out of a gap between what people wanted and what governments and European institutions were delivering. That gap isn't narrowing. Europe is still struggling to manage the range of crises it is facing. What hasn't emerged is a vision to drive the European project forward.
It had been alleged that data-gathering centre GCHQ circumvented the law to gain information on UK citizens.
The Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) reviewed the GCHQ reports produced with US intelligence.
The ISC said the evidence showed that any intelligence sought had "conformed with GCHQ's statutory duties".
Prism is a programme through which the US Government obtains intelligence material - such as communications - from Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
Details of the highly classified programme run by the US National Security Agency (NSA) were leaked by former US intelligence analyst, Edward Snowden.
Now wanted by the US, Mr Snowden is in Russia where he has applied for temporary asylum.
The ISC, chaired by former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, took detailed evidence from GCHQ for its investigation, including a list of counter-terrorist operations for which the UK was able to obtain intelligence from the US.
It also examined a list of 'selectors' (such as email addresses) that requested information on a list of UK nationals or individuals who were under surveillance in such operations.
The committee, which reports directly to the Prime Minister who also chooses its members, then looked at a number of UK intelligence reports that were produced as a result of this activity.
In a statement on the allegations against GCHQ, the ISC said: "The legal authority for this is contained in the Intelligence Services Act 1994."
The Director of GCHQ, Sir Iain Lobban, was questioned "in detail" by the committee, it said.
Members of the committee also met the US National Security Agency (NSA) and their Congressional counterparts to discuss Prism on a recent trip to the US.
The ISC added that in each case where GCHQ sought information from the US, a warrant for interception - signed by a minister - was "already in place".
While the committee found that GCHQ had acted within the law, it expressed concern that legal frameworks in some areas were expressed in "general terms".
"More detailed policies and procedures have, rightly, been put in place around this work by GCHQ", in order to comply with the Human Rights Act, it said.
The next step for the ISC was to further examine the "complex interaction" between the Intelligence Services Act, the Human Rights Act and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, and the policies and procedures that underpin them.
Foreign Secretary William Hague welcomed the committee's findings. He said: "I see daily evidence of the integrity and high standards of the men and women of GCHQ. The ISC's findings are further testament to their professionalism and values.
"It will continue to have the full co-operation of the government and the security and intelligence agencies."
Mr Trump told the New York Times on Wednesday he would never have appointed Mr Sessions if he had known he was going to recuse himself from leading a Russia investigation.
He also said Mr Sessions had given "bad answers" at his confirmation hearing.
Mr Sessions recused himself after admitting meeting Russia's ambassador.
Associated Press news agency quoted a Trump adviser as saying the president's comments did not mean he was going to sack the attorney general but the adviser questioned whether such a public dressing-down might prompt him to quit.
However, Mr Sessions said on Thursday he would not resign but would continue running the justice department effectively.
"I have the honour of serving as attorney general," he said.
"It is something that goes beyond any thought I would have ever had for myself.
"We love this job, we love this department, and I plan to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate."
Mr Sessions would have headed the justice department's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the US presidential election. Congress is also conducting inquiries.
His recusal ultimately led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to lead the investigation.
The Times interview reflects the anger the president feels at this development.
He said: "A special counsel should never have been appointed in this case... Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else."
Mr Trump said Mr Sessions had given him "zero" notice of the recusal.
He then reflected on the "bad answers" Mr Sessions gave at his Senate confirmation hearing in January at which he denied meeting any Russians. He later revealed he had met Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
With Donald Trump, loyalty will only get you so far.
Mr Sessions was the earliest and most enthusiastic of Mr Trump's top-tier political supporters, and he was rewarded with a plum Cabinet appointment. Now, however, that position of power appears not quite as golden a prize.
While the former Alabama senator has toiled to implement the president's agenda as attorney general, Mr Trump personally blames him for the ongoing independent counsel investigation that has bedevilled his presidency.
The irony is that while Mr Trump views Mr Sessions's recusal from the Russia probe as a betrayal, the attorney general made clear during his confirmation hearings that he would likely do just that if he were implicated in an investigation that had not yet begun in earnest.
It was only later that then-FBI Director James Comey - himself a target of the president's scorn - revealed the Trump campaign itself was under the microscope.
Now the president has made clear that Mr Sessions lacks his full confidence. While the attorney general says he loves his job and plans to keep it, how secure can his position be when his boss lobs bomb after bomb his way from the White House?
The teenager, believed to be named Jack Susianta, fled after smashing a window at his home in Clapton, east London, after officers were called there.
He was missing for about 40 minutes before being seen, running away again and entering the canal, the Met said.
A police officer followed the teenager into the water and tried to rescue him but was unable to. The death has been referred to the police watchdog.
Police said they were called to the boy's home on Wednesday afternoon because family members were concerned for his welfare and officers arrived at 15:12 BST.
At 15:38, Hackney Police tweeted: "Jack Susianta, 17yrs missing from E5. Last seen wearing a T-shirt, shorts and socks."
The boy was seen on Hackney Marshes at about 15:50 and when he ran away again he ended up in the canal at Lea Bridge Road in Hackney.
His body was recovered from the water at about 17:20 BST. The cause of death is not yet known and a post-mortem examination and formal identification are still to be carried out.
Dog units, a police helicopter, Marine Police and London Fire Brigade were all deployed in the search.
The Hackney Police account had also tweeted appeals over the disappearance of Jack in the early hours of Tuesday, followed about an hour later by a message saying he had been found.
The incidents leading to the teenager's death have been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A spokesman said: "We deployed investigators to the scene and we are currently assessing it to determine the level, if any, of our involvement.
"We haven't yet determined whether it will be necessary for an independent investigation."
Preston struck nine minutes into the second half to hand the Shots their first National league defeat since December 17.
Home goalkeeper Jonathan Maxted produced a fine save to tip Shamir Fenelon's close-range effort on to the crossbar as Aldershot had the better of a goalless first half.
But the hosts took the lead nine minutes into the second period when Preston's forceful run ended with him slotting past Jake Cole.
Cole produced a fine save to prevent Will Hatfield making it 2-0 soon after, while Aldershot were denied an 81st-minute equaliser when Jake Gallagher hit a post.

The National Association of Head Teachers claims education is being seen as a cost rather than an investment.
Ahead of next week's Spending Review, the NAHT is calling for a fair national funding formula for education.
The Department for Education says it is "protecting the schools budget, which will rise as pupil numbers increase".
In his letter to Ms Morgan, NAHT general secretary Russell Hobby asks the government to match the overall level of funding to the "real cost pressures in schools".
He writes: "As you will know, we have recently launched our Breaking Point report looking at funding.
"It found that nearly two-thirds of school leaders are making 'significant' cuts or are dipping into reserves to stave off deficits, with four in five reporting that budget cuts would have a negative impact on standards.
"Flat cash education spending at a time of rising costs - employer costs for National Insurance, an increase in teachers' pensions to name just two - shows that the money coming into schools is not keeping up with the costs they face."
The letter also calls for:
Mr Hobby adds: "For too long, education has been seen as a cost - in fact, education is an investment, in both children and society as a whole.
"We would urge you, in conversations with Chancellor George Osborne, to call for progressive funding arrangements for education. It's time that funding reflects the true realities on the ground."
Last month, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said spending per pupil in England's schools was likely to fall by 8% in real terms over the next five years.
The IFS says this will be the first time since the mid-1990s that school spending has fallen in real terms.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We are protecting the schools budget, which will rise as pupil numbers increase.
"This government is committed to making sure schools are funded fairly so all pupils have access to a good education - a key part of our core mission to raise standards across the country and make sure every child reaches their full potential.
"We have made significant progress towards fairer funding for schools, through an additional £390m allocated to 69 of the least fairly funded areas in the country - the biggest step toward fairer schools funding in 10 years."
To advance his cause he has had to engage in the most profound and tricky discussions on religion and death.
Many Orthodox rabbis have described the act of taking organs from a brain-dead person as retzicha - tantamount to murder.
This view is also supported by some non-religious Jews who have been brought up with the tradition of protecting the wholeness of the human body.
In the modern Jewish state of Israel, this remains a controversial and emotive topic.
The country has one of the world's most sophisticated medical systems but a decade ago it was expelled from the European Union donor scheme for taking organs but not providing many. Only 3% of the population had donor cards.
A religious Jew leads his life according to the rules - known as the halacha - that are laid out by the Talmud.
As head of the Halachic Organ Donor Society, Robert Berman argues that organ donation is permissible under Talmudic law.
In a busy cafe in West Jerusalem, Mr Berman tells me he is often shocked to hear the views of more liberal sections of society.
"I went over to an Israeli at a McDonald's who had a tattoo on his shoulder, which is forbidden by Jewish law. He was eating a cheeseburger, which is forbidden.
"I asked, 'Do you have an organ donor card?' He said no, because Jewish law doesn't allow for it. I said, 'You don't seem to care about Jewish law,' so he said, 'When it comes to death, I do!'"
The faith in the resurrection of the dead - known in Hebrew as Techiat Hamaytim - may have contributed to the traditional belief that the body must be buried whole, with all the organs intact, says Mr Berman.
"A lot of people say, 'Well, we need our organs for the resurrection.' And my response is, it's theologically problematic that God wants to resurrect six million Jews who were cremated in the Holocaust and he can't - does that make any sense?"
Mr Berman started searching in the Torah and the Talmud for directions with which to convince a sceptical population.
"Three biblical prohibitions in the Torah basically say that you cannot mutilate a corpse, delay burial of a corpse, or get benefit from a corpse. When you donate organs, you're doing all three, right?"
He decided to use a piece of ancient oral law, which says if a person's head is severed from his body, he is dead, explaining to people that being brain dead was effectively equivalent to having been decapitated.
So it all comes down to when, according to the religion, a person could be certified dead.
Traditionally, rabbis came to the deathbed of a person and held a feather or a mirror next to the nostrils to make sure the last breath had departed the body.
Yitzhak Gispan, an Orthodox Jew of Yemeni origin, shares with me a story about his mother, Batia, who came to Jerusalem from Sanaa in 1949.
"My mother nearly died in Yemen. The rabbi came with a feather to see if she was breathing. It was Friday - her parents wanted to bury her quickly before Shabbat and brought the gravediggers.
"Eventually she opened her eyes and saw the light of the candles. She told her parents she heard everything they were saying. They were preparing a funeral for her, digging a grave!"
The definition of death, however, is changing rapidly in Israel, says Jacob Lavee, president of the Israel Transplantation Society and director of the heart transplant department in Tel Ha Shomer hospital near Tel Aviv.
He is one of the pioneers pushing forward the 2008 legislation, known as the Brain Circulatory Death law, under which a brain-dead person is legally and clinically dead.
"[It] accepts the idea of brain death specifically, and the law has been accepted by the parliament. It has been endorsed both by the medical community and the Chief Rabbinate in Israel."
As an incentive, under the law people are granted priority for an organ transplant if they had signed up for a donor card three years before joining the waiting list.
This has helped raise the number of organ donors in Israel from 3% to 15%.
And the number of Israelis perishing every year waiting for organs has fallen from 120 to 80.

West Yorkshire Police said it was believed the Nissan had been travelling towards Hemsworth when it struck the rear of the quad bike.
Det Ch Insp Richard Holmes said: "Widespread investigations are continuing into what is a significant incident on the district's roads, which has now tragically resulted in the loss of four lives.
"Painstaking investigative work is continuing at the scene and the road itself will not be re-opened until tomorrow."
He said the victims were all from the local area.
"Their families are currently being supported by specially-trained officers and we are not in a position to release any further details of those who have lost their lives at this time," he said.
Farmer Ben Kidson, who lives near the site of the crash, said he had heard loud cars late on Saturday evening.
"From about 11, for a good hour, I could hear cars some racing up and down the road.
"You do hear it now and again at weekends but it seemed to be a lot louder last night.
"It just seemed different and it continued until about 12:30 when I heard the police helicopter."
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Mr Holmes said they were also keen to speak to anyone who saw an unregistered quad bike being ridden around the Hemsworth area on Saturday evening.
"Similarly I would appeal for any witnesses who saw a bronze-coloured Nissan 350Z driven in the Hemsworth area on the evening of 26 September and up to 00.30 on the 27 September to come forward," he said.
Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism officers say they are now connecting the two attacks based on evidence.
The Bardo Museum attack saw 22 people killed, while 38 tourists, including 30 British nationals, were killed in the resort of Sousse in June.
The militant group Islamic State (IS) have said they are behind both attacks.
Tunisian authorities have arrested 150 people to date over the Sousse attack.
Of those, 15 have been charged with terrorism offences.
Those charged face allegations including being involved in a terrorist plot, not informing police of a plan and providing logistical or other support.
A trial in relation to the murders is not expected to take place for up to 18 months.
Commander Richard Walton, of the Metropolitan Police, which supplied officers to help the Tunisian investigation into the massacre, gave no details of the suspected connection between the attacks but said it was based on "strong" evidence.
Tunisian authorities have also drawn a connection between the attacks, saying that the Sousse attacker likely trained at the same Libyan jihadi camp as the two Bardo attackers.
In Sousse a gunman, who was later identified as Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui, opened fire on the beach after coming in from the sea using a jet ski or speedboat.
After shooting on the beach, he entered the Hotel Imperial Marhaba, where explosives were detonated and more tourists were shot. Rezgui then ran out of the hotel and police shot him dead.
Tunisian authorities believe the 23-year-old's suspected accomplices provided a Kalashnikov assault rifle and helped Rezgui get to the scene, interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told AP.
Mr Walton also disclosed that Rezgui's body has not been claimed due to the shame his family feel and fear of reprisals if they do so.

The announcement by the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit is not surprising, but it provides some credence to what has so far remained cryptic rhetoric from Tunisian officials.
Less than a week after Saifeddine Rezqui's rampage in Sousse, authorities here said the gunman had "likely" trained in Libya at the same time as the Bardo Museum assailants.
How and why they reached that conclusion was unclear.
By mid-July security services here had arrested more than 100 people they describe as being "suspected members of terrorist gangs" - in the majority of these cases, it's unknown what happens to these detainees or what "gangs" they belong to.
The Bardo Museum in Tunis was stormed by three gunmen on 18 March. British, Japanese, French, Italian and Colombian tourists were among the 22 they killed.
Witnesses said the gunmen, carrying assault rifles, opened fire on tourists outside the museum in front of a row of buses before charging inside and taking hostages.
Two of the gunmen - identified by the authorities as Yassine Laabidi and Hatem Khachnaoui - were killed by security forces.
Nine people have now been arrested in connection with the museum attack.
The car left the motorway near the Milnathort junction at about 12:00, ending up upturned on an embankment.
A man in the car with her was able to leave the vehicle without assistance. Neither of them are thought to have life-threatening injuries.
Police said there had been a number of minor accidents in the area, possibly due to ice.
They urged drivers to take extra care.
However, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said promised tax cuts for small firms would go ahead in the 12 May budget.
The government would also not increase taxes on superannuation (pension funds) during this term, he said at a business lunch in Sydney.
He said the goal was to cut taxes but there would be no new spending in the budget that was not offset by savings.
"On July 1, the tax arrangements previously flagged - a general company tax cut coupled with an offsetting levy to pay for a more generous parental leave scheme - won't go ahead," he said.
"I can confirm, though, that the budget will have measures to cut small businesses' tax bills in ways that will stimulate investment, boost productivity, generate new jobs and make existing jobs more secure."
The announcements come as the government faces a huge blow-out in budget finances because of a plunge in commodity prices.
Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said on Sunday that a recent steep drop in the price of iron ore had wiped as much as A$25 billion (£13bn; $19bn) from government revenue over the next four years.
The change in heart on tax cuts for big business is one of a number of promises broken by the government in the past year.
In February, Mr Abbott dropped one of his signature policies - a paid parental leave scheme - because it was deemed too expensive for the private sector to fund.
The government's initial policy said mothers would be provided with half a year's paid parental leave at their actual wage or at the national minimum wage, whichever was greater, but with a cap at A$150,000 ($116,500; £77,254).
Women would also be paid pension funds and the whole scheme was to be funded by a 1.5% levy on companies with taxable incomes in excess of A$5m ($3.8m; £2.6m).
But members of Mr Abbott's own party said it was too expensive and it received only a lukewarm response from women's groups because it did not address rising child care costs.
A Premier League collision between two of Europe's A-list coaches ended in a 2-1 win for Klopp's Liverpool that was far more comfortable and convincing than the Stamford Bridge scoreline suggests.
Conte, in contrast, suffered his first loss since taking over at Chelsea to complete an indifferent week after they had to battle to get a point at Swansea City last Sunday.
So what are the early lessons for Klopp and Conte as Liverpool's season continues to gather pace and Chelsea's suffers a setback?
Klopp made his intentions clear with a bold claim when Liverpool opened their new Main Stand at Anfield recently.
"We want to go to the best teams in the world and give them hell," said Klopp as his managerial mission statement - and he has made good on his promise on the domestic front at least.
Liverpool's three trips to London this season have yielded seven points from this win at Chelsea, with a 4-3 victory at Arsenal and a 1-1 draw at Tottenham that should have brought the maximum return.
While it may be stretching the point to call this a hellish experience for Chelsea, it was certainly uncomfortable from first to last on a night when much of the early-season optimism around the new Conte regime was suddenly tempered by a heavy dose of realism.
Liverpool's win should have come as no surprise given the manner in which they have performed against the teams that are widely accepted as the Premier League's most powerful since Klopp was appointed manager.
In 14 games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Spurs since arriving at Liverpool almost a year ago, Klopp has lost only twice. He suffered a 1-0 home defeat by Manchester United in January and lost the League Cup final on penalties to Manchester City at Wembley in February.
The sequence has included a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge and a 4-1 triumph at Manchester City last season - as well as victory over two legs against Manchester United in the Europa League, which included a 2-0 win at Anfield and a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
The only flaw in Klopp's masterplan is when Liverpool throw in the sort of dismal performance that saw them deservedly lose 2-0 at Burnley this season.
This latest win at Chelsea was Klopp and Liverpool putting down another marker that they are more than capable of competing with the best - and if they can put things right against the rest then their growing momentum will become even more ominous.

The meeting between Conte and Klopp did not just carry heavy Premier League significance - it was a game where eyes were trained on the technical area as well as on the pitch.
Conte and Klopp are two of the game's most charismatic and animated managers, so it was always going to be an eventful evening for fourth official Bobby Madley.
Madley crossed swords with both, delivering an early warning to Conte for straying outside his designated area as well as being in regular conversation with Klopp.
Italian Conte prowled his technical area throughout, dark-suited and with shiny back shoes glinting in the floodlights. Klopp opted for a black Liverpool tracksuit.
In what might have been a sign of how the early phases were developing, Conte was all agitated, nervous action, while it took Klopp until the 13th minute to even leave his seat - and that was only to offer up a minor tweak at a Liverpool corner.
The real Klopp was unleashed when Jordan Henderson's magnificent 25-yard strike curved and dipped beyond Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois after 36 minutes.
Klopp leapt from his dugout with the exclamation "boom" as the shot flew in and Liverpool took control. It was a control they never seriously threatened to relinquish.
The goal may even be part of Klopp's wider plan because, since he took charge, Liverpool have scored 15 Premier League goals from outside the box, five more than any other side in that time.
The German was, however, furious at the manner in which his defenders, Joel Matip in particular, went to ground far too easily and allowed Nemanja Matic to set up Diego Costa's goal that gave Chelsea brief, albeit unfulfilled, second-half hope.
There was an air of increasing desperation about Conte, including one impromptu "Riverdance" jump on the spot when a decision went against Chelsea.
In the end he was as subdued as his Chelsea side and at the final whistle it was Klopp who embraced his Liverpool backroom staff before going around all of his players, back-slapping, bear-hugging and chest-beating before pumping his fists in the direction of their fans.
On this night, Klopp overcame Conte on all levels.

Klopp's tried and trusted "gegenpressing" style and the pace provided by the likes of Daniel Sturridge and new £34m forward Sadio Mane appeared to leave Chelsea overcome with caution from the kick-off.
Conte's side, missing the influence and direction of injured captain John Terry, simply sat too deep and did too little, especially in the first half. It was an invitation to assume superiority that Liverpool, tactically progressive and proactive under Klopp, were never going to pass up.
Liverpool looked mobile, competitive, quick and fluent. Conte's Chelsea were laboured and lacking guile, with Matic and Branislav Ivanovic in particular looking like two players close to outliving their usefulness at Stamford Bridge.
The important Roberto Firmino was out with a groin injury but Klopp utilised a front three of Sturridge, Mane and Philippe Coutinho in a manner that compensated for the Brazilian's absence.
David Luiz looked exactly the same player that left Stamford Bridge for Paris St-Germain two years ago, although blame for this defeat could certainly not be apportioned to him.
Klopp's substitutions were more structured and logical than Conte's. Divock Origi came on to replace Sturridge just before the hour as the striker appeared to pick up a knock, while the tiring Coutinho was replaced with the more defensive-minded Lucas to lock down the 2-1 result with eight minutes left.
Conte, surprisingly, waited to make changes even after Costa, who spent the night isolated and toiling alone, pulled one back after 61 minutes. Chelsea failed to cash in on that rare moment of supremacy.
In the end, it was the 83rd minute before Conte made a change, with the odd voice in the stands having demanded them earlier - and then he made all three at once.
Cesc Fabregas was belatedly introduced for Matic, while Victor Moses and Pedro replaced Willian and Oscar. The big surprise was that £33m summer signing Michy Batshuayi remained unused as Chelsea chased a goal.
Conte has not made a substitution in the Premier League before the 71st minute this season - Moses at Watford - so he is clearly not a natural exponent of the early change.
In Conte's defence, though, his substitutions have generally been positive and helped get late wins against West Ham and particularly at Watford, where Batshuayi scored an equaliser and fellow sub Fabregas set up Costa's winner.
Here, though, Klopp's Liverpool were more organised and seemed more tactically aware of what their gameplan was.
As Liverpool's team coach pulled out of west London and headed back to Merseyside before midnight, it would have been accompanied by a growing sense of confidence, even excitement, about their prospects this season.
The loss at Burnley will act as the check on over-optimism, but Liverpool and Klopp can take great encouragement from Friday's win, as well as those performances at Arsenal and Spurs and the 4-1 dismissal of champions Leicester City at Anfield.
Matip, with the same languid gait and build of the young Rio Ferdinand, has started solidly in central defence and was given few problems by the poorly served Costa, while Dejan Lovren grows in stature alongside the free transfer from German side Schalke.
Klopp's big summer buys have also settled well. Georginio Wijnaldum was a solid, steady presence and the pace, verve and tireless running of Mane gives Liverpool the sort of defending from the front and menace they have lacked since the departure of Luis Suarez - although it should be stressed this is not to compare the two in terms of quality.
Liverpool's players clearly have faith in Klopp and the bond was shown by the warmth of the embraces between team and manager at the final whistle.
This has been - Burnley apart - a highly impressive start by Liverpool. It is too early to talk in title terms but they have no reason not to already set their sights on a place in the top four.
As Klopp also said when that imposing new stand was opened: "If there is one part of life where you can challenge the best in the world then it's football. It depends on your attitude.
"If always the people with the best circumstances would win, this world would be an ugly place. We all have the chance to fight for everything. It's not about having a guarantee; it's about having the opportunity."
Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea will do the same. So why not Liverpool after emerging unscathed, and with seven points, from those three trips to the capital?
In the 10 years that have followed, nearly 140,000 people have entered into one, while more than 9,000 same-sex couples have since married.
Two couples whose lives were changed by civil partnerships describe what it meant to them.
When Percy and Roger met on a blind date in 1966 homosexuality was still illegal.
As an actor and an academic in their 20s and 30s, the image of "Swinging London" and its sexual liberation was largely a myth.
They lived their lives in private with sympathetic friends, or in "sub rosa" nightclubs where you gave a false name and kept one eye on the exit in case of a raid.
Burglaries at their home went unreported for fear the authorities would be more interested in their relationship. At any one moment they risked arrest, prosecution and jail for falling in love with the wrong person.
"We were young and it was exciting in a way and almost an adventure," Roger Lockyer, 88, a former history professor at Royal Holloway, University of London, told the BBC.
"But looking back at it from now one realises that potentially it could be awful. The subject of homosexuality was really taboo it was so awful that you couldn't discuss it with anybody."
Nearly 50 years later, the couple, whose relationship spans many significant stages of gay liberation, are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their civil partnership.
They made history by becoming one of the first same-sex couples in the UK to say "I do" in a legally-recognised ceremony.
Last year, they converted their civil partnership into a marriage.
Sitting in the book-lined Marylebone home he shares with his 76-year-old husband Percy Steven, Roger said: "I remember distinctly walking down the street after the ceremony thinking, 'I am as legal a person as anybody else, I am a full citizen at last'.
"I never believed that moment would come. I thought 'good God is this a fantasy?'"
Their ceremony captured the imagination of the world, and interviews were broadcasted on UK, US, Australian, French, German and Italian television.
Roger added: "I think it was a revelation for the government, who thought a few couples might sneak out of the woodwork, and there was almost a flood; a great number of people asserting their rights after living in the shadows for as long as half a century."
The passing of the Civil Partnership Act 10 years ago this week - with cross-party support in Parliament - marked a sea-change in gay rights.
Across the UK, hundreds of gay and lesbian couples were granted many of the same legal and civil rights as married heterosexuals, albeit with a few outstanding differences around issues such as pensions in the private sector.
Couples could no longer be kept out of hospital rooms where their partner lay dying. They would no longer lose their home or business because of unjust tax laws and they had parental rights over children.
By 2015, more than 138,000 people had a civil partnership - with more than 18,000 people joining their hands in marriage since the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 came into force in England and Wales in March 2014 and in Scotland in December of that year.
Last month, two gay couples in Northern Ireland took the Stormont administration to the High Court, claiming the ban against gay marriage breached their human rights.
Ben Summerskill, former chief executive of the group Stonewall, said civil partnerships were a vital "test run" that paved the way for many of the gay rights granted in the last decade, including those around fertility treatments and adoption, as well as marriage.
"We shouldn't forget, it was a pretty tough battle at the time," he said.
"Great swathes of the House of Commons and House of Lords were doggedly opposed to civil partnerships. The Church of England was doggedly opposed to civil partnerships.
"I think probably David Cameron would not have been persuaded to be quite so radical if he hadn't seen ages earlier that this had been introduced and the sky hadn't fallen in.
"The world for young LGBT people has changed transformatively in a generation."
Two of those young people are Megan Evans and Whitney Bacon, who run a blog and post on YouTube, with 40,000 subscribers.
Their relationship - and subsequent civil partnership - has made them into online role models for young gay women around the world.
But when they met on social media site MySpace in 2006 they were more than 7,000 miles apart in the UK and the US.
Megan, 28, a gay rights activist who works in HR in Windsor, Berkshire, said: "I set our blog up in 2009 called What Wegan Did Next, because we're 'Whitney and Megan - Wegan' - one of our friends gave us that name a few years ago and it's just stuck.
"Initially I just wanted to document our long-distance relationship and also put ourselves out there as a feminine lesbian couple and that we're proud to be gay."
She added: "I couldn't live in America with Whitney because gay marriage wasn't legalised then. And for four years every time I went back home to the UK without her, it was really sad.
"I think I always hoped that equality would catch up and that by the time I was able to get engaged and get married that it would be legal - and luckily enough it was."
They had a small civil partnership ceremony in a register office in Windsor in September 2012, followed by a champagne tea with family and friends.
Thanks to their legally-recognised union - bolstered by years of YouTube footage and blog posts - Whitney's visa was finally approved and the pair moved into a cottage in Windsor.
They are planning to convert to a marriage in 2017 and have children.
Whitney, 27, who grew up in Kentucky, added: "When I was young I always had this vision of meeting this amazing, blonde, beautiful girl with a nice British accent, but I never thought it would become a reality.
"It was amazing to know that I could have a civil partnership, which is pretty close to a marriage and it would also pave the way for me to move to the UK for she and I to live happily ever after.
"If it wasn't for that who knows where we would be."
Some of the world's greatest cyclists will ride through Middlesbrough's Stewart Park on Sunday during the final leg of the event.
In honour of the tour, a sculpture showing explorer Captain James Cook emerging on wheels from a wall at his birthplace museum has been installed.
It was made by artist Keith Peacock and also features a bike chain and cogs.
Senior museum curator Phil Philo said: "As a legacy of the Tour it seems to pose the question, had the bicycle been invented, would Cook have embraced the technology and the thrills and spills that it offered, and had the ambition to cycle farther than any man? - we certainly think so."
The three-day cycle race began on Friday.
The navigator and explorer was born in 1728.
Ward D4 at Royal Bolton Hospital has been hit by the illness and several appointments have been cancelled.
The hospital said there had been a rise in the number people suffering sickness symptoms in the area.
Norovirus can be potentially serious for the elderly and very young, and those who are already unwell.
Andy Ennis, chief operating officer at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, said: "The illness is largely spread by members of the public who either come in with the illness or are visited by others with symptoms.
"We ask people not to visit with current or recent symptoms and for everyone to wash their hands thoroughly in the sinks on each ward and not just to use the alcohol gel.
"We will be monitoring the situation carefully."
The analysis by the Dr Foster research group looked at three key procedures - knee, hip and cataract operations.
For much of the past decade, patient numbers have been rising as would be expected with an ageing population.
But since 2010, the numbers have levelled off - with just one in eight areas now doing more hips and knees and one in five seeing rises in cataracts.
It comes amid mounting pressures on the health service.
The challenges facing A&E units have been well documented, but reports have also been emerging that non-emergency care is being squeezed too.
These findings - to be published on Monday in Dr Foster's annual hospital guide - provide perhaps the most comprehensive picture yet of what is happening.
The health care analysts looked at the number of operations being carried out for the three types of procedures - among the most life-enhancing done by the NHS - for the past decade.
It found virtually no change in the overall numbers over the past two years with the total numbers hovering around the 475,000 mark each year.
Hip replacements were the only treatment out of the three that were still going up - although the rate of increase has slowed.
Meanwhile, the number of cataract operations is at its lowest level for five years and 2012-13 saw the first fall in knee replacements for a decade.
The review also provided details of what local areas were up to by looking at the individual figures for the 200-plus clinical commissioning groups which are now in charge of local health budgets.
The data showed that just 27 (13%) areas saw a significant rise in knee replacements over the past two years, 27 (13%) a rise for hip replacements and 40 (19%) a rise for cataracts.
Roger Taylor, co-founder of Dr Foster, said the findings suggested the squeeze on spending was having an impact on these "highly effective" treatments.
"There has been a sharp slow-down in activity. We are seeing some operations fall when normally we see them increasing by 4%, 5% or 6% a year."

The review will also highlight other areas of concern.
Dr Foster analysed data on what it called "ineffective operations".
These include procedures such as tonsillectomies and knee washouts where the benefits are marginal.
While overall the numbers being done had fallen by 8% in the past five years there are still 124 areas where their use has increased since 2010-11.
Mr Taylor added: "Money is being wasted on care that is of no benefit."
Colin Howie, vice president of the British Orthopaedic Association, said the findings were "very concerning".
"By trying to save money in the short term, it will cost the NHS and society in the long term. These are highly effective operations because they restore mobility and reduce disability.
"What is more, the research shows it is the most vulnerable in society - the elderly and poor - who are most likely to miss out."
A spokesman for NHS England said: "While the data raises important questions, we should be wary of leaping to the answers.
"Cataracts, knees and hip replacements are generally 'good' but it is still the case that they can be overused.
"We do a very significant number of these operations all over the country and it should not be taken as a given that this figure should automatically increase."
The 12 men were accused of waging war against the nation, conspiracy and murder. One man was acquitted.
The serial bombings on 11 July 2006 killed 189 people and injured more than 800.
The attack was blamed on Islamic militants backed by Pakistan, an allegation that Pakistan has denied.
Sentencing is expected to be pronounced on Monday after judge Yatin D Shinde hears arguments from the prosecutors and defence lawyers. The guilty face the death penalty or life in prison.
"Justice has been done for the people of Mumbai. I will ask for the strictest punishment when I argue for their sentences," public prosecutor Raja Thakre told reporters.
During the attack, seven blasts ripped through trains in the evening rush hour.
The bombs were packed into seven pressure cookers and put in bags. The co-ordinated explosions were detonated within 15 minutes Convictions in Mumbai train blastsof each other.
The blasts took place in the areas of Matunga, Khar, Mahim, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Mira Road, with most on moving trains and two at stations.
The bombs appeared to have targeted first-class compartments, as commuters were returning home from the city's financial district.
More than 200 witnesses were examined during the eight-year-long trial, which concluded in August last year.
Prosecutors say the attack was planned by Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI, and carried out by operatives of Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba with help from the Students' Islamic Movement of India, a banned Indian group.
Pakistan had rejected the allegations and said India had given no evidence of Pakistani involvement in the attacks.
Mumbai's suburban train system is one of the busiest in the world, carrying more than eight million commuters a day.

The mob attacked the 21-year-old woman and her three friends - all Tanzanians - as they were passing by the accident site a little later.
The crowd chased the young woman and "removed her top", police said.
Tanzanian embassy officials have sought a report into the incident.
The incident took place on Sunday night, but was first reported only on Tuesday.
Police told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi in Bangalore that a mob gathered in Hessarghatta area after an allegedly drunk student from Sudan ran his car over a woman sleeping on the roadside.
The mob beat up the man and set fire to his car, but he managed to escape.
"About 30 minutes later, the four [Tanzanian] students, including the woman, were passing by when they stopped to inquire what had happened. That was when they were attacked," Bernandoo Kafumu, president of the Tanzanian students' association at the local college, said.
"The woman did not even know the [Sudanese] man who was involved in the accident," said a member of the association who did not want to be named.
"After they were attacked, the Tanzanians ran back to their car and tried to drive away, but there was an obstacle on the road. So they got down and ran. She ran for her life. The local people chased her and removed her clothes," he added.
The mob also set the women's car on fire.
A senior police official confirmed that "her top was torn and removed, but there was no sexual assault".
"After the news appeared in a section of the local media on Wednesday, we asked her to lodge a complaint. We are now following all procedures, we are getting her medically examined," TR Suresh, deputy commissioner of police for north Bangalore, told BBC Hindi.
Bangalore, often called India's Silicon Valley for being the hub of global software firms, is home to hundreds of foreign students, including 150 from Tanzania.
But, there have been clashes between them and locals.
"We are living in fear. The government and the police must do something about it," an African woman studying in the city said.
"There have been small incidents. It largely relates to some students playing loud music at night," Mr Kafumu said.
Mr King, 72, from Bayswater, west London, is accused of carrying out the offences between between 1970 and 1986.
He was charged by Surrey Police as part of Operation Ravine, which has been looking into allegations linked to the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames.
Mr King has been released on bail and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on 26 June.
The International Council on Monuments and Sites (Icomos), which advises Unesco, has expressed concern over plans for the project in Wiltshire.
The group wrote to Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin earlier in November.
An announcement about upgrading the whole A303 is expected in the chancellor's Autumn Statement.
The options include a 1.6-mile (2.5km) tunnel or two longer 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnels that would run south of the current A303 route.
Proposals to build a tunnel beside Stonehenge were dropped seven years ago because of cost, but lobbying has continued from local councils.
Despite the road layout at Stonehenge being changed, the stretch of single carriageway still has many traffic jams.
In a letter seen by the BBC, the UK branch of Icomos said it wanted the government to "fully engage" with the World Heritage Committee to find a solution that "respects and maintains" the value of the "iconic and unique site".
"We appreciate the very real need to address the issue of the A303 and recognise that a tunnel could have beneficial impacts on parts of the World Heritage property," Icomos said.
"However, we are concerned that associated portals and dual carriageways could have a highly adverse impact on other parts of the World Heritage landscape that cannot be set aside, however great the benefits of a tunnel."
The Department for Transport said it had "worked closely with key organisations" and "no decisions" had yet been made.
English Heritage, which runs the Stonehenge site, said the bottleneck road was "highly detrimental" to the ancient monument.
"We have met with a representative of Icomos UK to explain the work we've done and sought feedback on it," a spokeswoman said.
The motorist reached 154mph (247kmh) along the A11 at Elveden in Suffolk on Monday night, according to traffic officers.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing Unit tweeted about the incident after the driver was stopped in a Seat Leon Cupra car.
The motorist, a man in his 20s, will now face court action, they said.

Jacqui Thompson, from Llanwrda, Carmarthenshire, was sued by Mark James over five posts she made on her blog.
Mrs Thompson also faces a £230,000 legal bill after losing a bid to sue Mr James for libel.
Mr James said he was pleased that the Appeal Court had "dismissed completely" Mrs Thompson's case.
The legal spat developed in June 2011 after Mrs Thompson was removed from a council meeting and arrested after refusing to stop filming it.
The case led to a critical report by the Wales Audit Office (WAO) after Carmarthenshire council indemnified Mr James in his libel counter-claim against Mrs Thompson.
Carmarthenshire has paid out more than £26,000 in external legal costs since 2012 under the decision.
A WAO report found that Carmarthenshire council's decision to pay the court costs of its chief executive in the case was unlawful.
The council said it had taken external legal advice and had consulted the WAO prior to deciding to cover Mr James's court costs. It said the WAO had not raised concerns at that time.
In February councillors agreed to accept the WAO findings but they have not withdrawn the indemnity provision.
Announcing on Wednesday that she had lost her appeal, Mrs Thompson said she found the judgement against her a "miscarriage of justice which I cannot accept but will have to live with".
In a statement via Carmarthenshire council, Mr James said: "I am obviously pleased that Mrs Thompson's appeal was dismissed completely, and that the court agreed with the original judgement and views of the judge. They also awarded her to pay further costs for the appeal.
"Mrs Thompson has conducted a long-running campaign of harassment and defamation.
"It is time Mrs Thompson finally realised that she has done wrong, has been found by the High Court and Court of Appeal to have done wrong and cease her pointless campaign against the council and its officers."
The deal, which has been approved by the boards of both companies, will create the second-biggest firm in the oilfield services industry.
It comes as oil firms react to weak prices by cutting back on exploration.
As a result, they have less need for the hardware and other technology that oilfield service companies provide.
Under the terms of the deal, GE will own 62.5% of the merged company, while Baker Hughes shareholders will own the rest.
The new company will have annual revenues of $32bn (£26bn) and have operations in more than 120 countries.
"Oil and gas customers demand more productive solutions," said GE chief executive Jeff Immelt, who will be chairman of the new business.
"This can only be achieved through technical innovation and service execution, the hallmarks of GE and Baker Hughes."
Singapore has been gripped by the plight of a holidaying Vietnamese factory worker scammed of two months' wages when trying to buy an iPhone 6.
The case and subsequent attempts by Singaporeans to help him have made headlines regionally.
Singapore has long prided itself on being a safe tourist-friendly spot.
An advisory posted on China's Consular Services website noted that there had been "many cases last year" where Chinese tourists were cheated when buying electronic goods.
It said that Chinese tourists who wish to buy mobile phones or other expensive electronic devices in Singapore should first check if the shops they are patronising have had complaints lodged against them.
The Consumer Association of Singapore maintains a list of errant retailers.
China is the fastest growing source of tourists to Singapore, which is also popular with other Asian visitors.
Earlier this week, Singaporean media reported a case where Vietnamese tourist Pham Van Thoai was tricked into signing a phone warranty contract at a mobile shop in a well-known electronics shopping centre,.
The same shop had previously made the news for refunding a Chinese tourist hundreds of dollars in coins.
Concern had already been mounting in Singapore of persistent tourist scams.
But Mr Pham's case provoked nationwide sympathy and outrage at the shop when newspapers published a photo of him sobbing and a video of him begging on his knees for a refund, filmed by shop staff, surfaced online.
Though he called in the police and consumer association officials, he still lost S$550 (£266; $440) - the equivalent of more than two months' worth of wages - and left without a phone.
The incident sparked concern about consumers' rights and apparent damage to Singapore's image as a tourist destination.
Frustrated at the lack of punishment, some netizens have named and shamed the shop's owner and published online his personal details, including his address, phone numbers and photos of him posing shirtless.
Others donated to a crowdfunding campaign started by a Singaporean to reimburse Mr Pham, which has gathered nearly US$12,000. "This is not okay. This is not right. We are not a nation of thieves and cheats," the campaign website said.
Mr Pham however has reportedly said a Singaporean businessman gave him money for a phone, and declined to accept more donations.
The response has been widely covered by Vietnamese media, as well as other South East Asian news outlets, and has drawn appreciative comments from the Vietnamese.
"Thank you Singaporean people... I really admire your kindness and devotion to foreigners like us," said one on Facebook.
Tom Adeyemi gave Rotherham a surprise lead in the 19th minute when he turned in a rebound from keeper Ali Al-Habsi.
Lewis Grabban swept in a powerful volley to level against his former club just two minutes after coming on.
The hosts completed the comeback when John Swift turned in Chris Gunter's cross at the back post to move past Huddersfield into third place.
The Terriers will have a chance to reclaim their position when they play Derby at 17:00 BST, but with Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham both winning, this was an important result for Jaap Stam's side.
Reading were made to work for their win, with Rotherham, who had taken just one point from their last 22 away league games, going in front when Adeyemi bundled in a rebound from Josh Morris' initial header.
The hosts responded with Yakou Meite threatening and Millers defender Semi Ajayi producing a goal-saving challenge on Swift to keep out a rebound off goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell.
Roy Beerens, Yann Kermorgant and Swift all had chances before the one-way traffic finally told; Grabban running onto Garath McCleary's deep cross to smash it low past O'Donnell.
Gunter then overlapped and squared for Swift to tap in and make it 2-1, extending Rotherham's rotten form and keeping Reading in the mix for promotion.
Reading manager Jaap Stam:
"We need our fans even more when we are behind. They need to know that they should support their team, not boo them, when they come off the pitch.
"Compared to what the team has done in the past two seasons, they should appreciate what the players are now doing for them. But if they react like that, I'm not very happy with it.
"The fans need to stick with their team and help them out."
Rotherham manager Paul Warne:
"We tried to keep it and cause Reading problems. To go in 1-0 up at half-time was a good thing.
"I thought that if we could ride the first 20 minutes of the second half, we might be able to get a positive result and then Grabban comes on and scores a worldie and Reading put a lot of pressure on us.
"We didn't keep the ball as well in the second half. We didn't have the ball a lot and when we did get it back, we were a bit fatigued."

Kenny, champion at London 2012, came out on top in the first two races to win the best-of-three final.
Russian Denis Dmitriev beat Australia's Matthew Glaetzer to take bronze.
"It is special, really special," said Kenny, who has now won as many Olympic golds as rower Sir Steve Redgrave and fellow cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Only Sir Chris Hoy, also a cyclist, has won more but Kenny, 28, can equal his mark when he races in the keirin on Tuesday.
"I'm really grateful," he told BBC Sport. "When we win, it feels like the team is winning and we have everyone behind us, pushing us."
"A Great Britain one-two is amazing," said BBC pundit Hoy. "Jason had so much in the tank. He had phenomenal power."
Victory takes Kenny's gold tally in Rio to two after he and Scottish rider Skinner were part of the British team that won the men's team sprint on Thursday.
As well as winning the individual sprint title in 2012, Kenny also claimed a team sprint gold in London.
He also won the team sprint at the 2008 Games, with his solitary silver coming in the individual sprint in Beijing, when he was beaten in the final by Hoy.
The Bolton cyclist's success also continued Britain's track cycling dominance in Rio. They have won four of the six events entered.
Kenny is engaged to Laura Trott, who became the first British woman to win three Olympic golds after helping win the team pursuit title on Saturday.
Trott, 24, won gold in the team pursuit and omnium at London 2012.
She will add a fourth if she defends her title in the latter event, which starts on Monday and concludes on Tuesday.
By the time the Rio Games are over next weekend, the pair could have amassed 10 Olympic golds between them.
After Kenny's win, Trott tweeted: "Ohhhhh myy!!!!! Jason Kenny you are my superhero!! Two down one to go. Can he do the triple?"
British badminton player Chris Adcock: "Fifth Olympic GOLD medal. Unbelievable!!! Absolute Monster. And huge congrats to @CallumSkinner on an amazing Silver!"
British BMX cyclist Liam Phillips: "If only you could see the state of @JasonKenny107 & @CallumSkinner's room... Deffo not Olympic standard!!! #Bombsite."
British cyclist Dame Sarah Storey: "Great job by Jason Kenny & Callum Skinner. That was brilliant."
Former Bolton striker Kevin Davies: "Well done to Bolton's finest Jason Kenny, another gold to add to his collection!!"
Younger people are leading a trend towards buying products without dairy and gluten in particular.
UK supermarkets are increasingly stocking aisles with wide ranges of the products, from biscuits to bolognaise.
"Consumers are associating 'free from' with a natural form of health in general," said Fraser McKevitt of the consumer research firm.
He said that while only about 5% of the population needed to avoid certain food groups for medical reasons, 54% of households joined the trend in the first three months of this year by buying at least one product from the category.
In recent years, a fashion for "clean eating", paleo, vegan and other diets popularised online has boosted the market for specially manufactured products and encouraged supermarkets as well as specialist stores to stock more of them.
Compared with last year's survey, 3.3 million more people had purchased a "free from" product, said Mr McKevitt.
Households containing people aged under 45 were 20% more likely to buy from these ranges. Sales of "free from" products grew 36% compared with a year earlier, he said.
Kantar monitors shoppers' habits using a sample of 30,000 households.
"The majority of products are bought by people who do not identify as having an intolerance," said Mr McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar.
He said shoppers used the label as a short-cut to identify products they believed would be healthier.
Ursula Philpott, a dietician at Leeds Beckett University, said that for the section of the population that did suffer from allergies and intolerances, the increased availability of these products was very helpful, but most of people did not need to avoid any specific food groups.
"A lot of people will be buying these because they've been sold the idea that gluten or dairy are in some way bad for you and that that's science-based, which for most people just isn't the case," she said.
"If we look at studies over the long term, we know the types of diets that lead to us having longer lives or having less disease states are things like Mediterranean diets, which don't include cutting out lots of things."
Kantar Worldpanel's survey also indicated that sales of "free from" products were higher amongst a more affluent demographic, reflected in higher sales of the products at Waitrose and Sainsbury's, compared with those grocers' market share.
But discounters Aldi and Lidl were also selling significant amounts of these products, said Mr McKevitt.
"Meanwhile, inflation shows no signs of abating. The price of everyday goods is up by 2.3% compared to this time last year, and rising prices cost the average household an additional £21.31 during the past 12 weeks," he added.
"We expect inflation to continue to accelerate, and as a result, we're likely to see consumers looking for cheaper alternatives."
The latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel indicate that prices for butter, fish, tea and skincare have risen in the 12 weeks to 26 March, while categories including crisps, bacon, chocolate and fresh poultry have seen prices fall.
Discount retailers Aldi and Lidl have continued to increase sales by about 15%, whereas Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda saw their sales decline slightly. Iceland has also seen a boost to sales.
Aldi and Lidl now account for 11.7% of the UK grocery market.
US comedian Ari Shaffir is 15 minutes late for our interview.
"I get lost a lot," he says apologetically. He is in Scotland, performing at the Edinburgh fringe festival.
He couldn't map app his way to the BBC studio because, for the past 20 months, he has been without a smartphone.
In December 2014, Shaffir was growing concerned about the amount of time he was spending using his iPhone - especially on social media - and was considering abandoning his data plan so that he could only access the internet via wi-fi.
"I was noticing a lot of distraction on my part - constantly checking social media, not to mention email and text," he says.
"You need some of it for work and the rest is distracting you from doing your work. If you post a photo on Instagram you don't need to watch the people saying, 'Yeah I like it' - people are constantly checking their 'likes'."
So when one evening he accidentally left his handset in the back of a taxi, he decided to go cold turkey.
The first six months were difficult.
"I felt withdrawal symptoms at first, kind of the way I felt when I quit smoking," he said.
But he says he now sleeps better, talks to more people and takes more interest in his surroundings as a smartphone-free individual - and jokes that he feels "superior" to his smartphone-absorbed friends.
"I see myself as a sober alcoholic - I can't handle it," he says.
"A lot of my friends said, 'Just use [the phone] less', but that's like walking around with a pack of cigarettes in your pocket and saying just don't smoke."
Dr Andrew Przybylski, an experimental psychologist and research fellow at Oxford University's Internet Institute, thinks the comparison is a little strong.
"There is no scientific evidence that smartphones are addictive in the clinical sense," he told the BBC.
"But because they put so many possibilities at our fingertips they are very attractive."
Dr Przybylski added that there "isn't any good research" as yet to suggest that heavy use of social media causes changes in the brain.
"If anything, brain activation is analogous to having a good conversation with friends or having a chocolate," he added.
Shaffir is not so sure - and he is not alone. Hollywood actor Bill Murray is said never to have had a smartphone and Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur Steve Hilton has written about his decision not to own any sort of mobile phone for the last three years.
"I find the idea that we should all be connected and contactable all the time not just bizarre but menacing," said Mr Hilton, a former adviser to David Cameron.
He admitted to borrowing other people's phones "four or five times a month".
"That's the sum total of the times I find I really need a phone's functionality," he wrote.
Meanwhile Ann Makosinski gave a TEDx Teen talk at the age of 18 about never owning a smartphone.
Like many others, the young Canadian inventor argued that they stifle creativity.
"Creativity was born out of necessity because I didn't have many things to play with," she said of her childhood.
"I think in terms of creativity these technologies are a net positive," said Dr Przybylski.
"Looking at the way that younger people use Snapchat and apps to create mash-ups is probably a step forward."
For Ari Shaffir, the constant attention demanded by handsets needs rebalancing.
"It's every moment of your life," he says.
"There needs to be an etiquette built around it and we haven't built it yet."
Perhaps that revolution is under way.
A cocktail bar in East Sussex has "banned" mobile devices by building a Faraday Cage into its walls to block phone signals and Apple has patented technology to prevent smartphone cameras from working at concerts.
Meanwhile, Shaffir is now using a six-year-old Samsung Gravity 3.
"It can text, you can make the font bigger or smaller, and it has over 10 different ring tones," he jokes.
"You cannot get on email, you cannot get on any website. You can tweet via your texting, you just can't check responses."
Should the smartphone industry be worried? Analyst Ben Wood from CCS Insight doesn't think so.
"The smartphone has become part of the fabric of today's society," he said.
"It is the most prolific consumer electronics device on the planet and it seems most people can't live without one.
"As if to underline how pervasive they are as a phenomenon we've now reached a point that there are more smartphones than people in the UK. It seems like the whole population is hooked."
Aguero, who scored five goals in City's win against Newcastle on 3 October, was carried off after 22 minutes.
The 27-year-old is set to have a scan and looks likely to miss Argentina's game against Paraguay next week.
Aguero had only just returned to fitness after a knee injury earlier in the season.
A statement on the City website said: "The striker pulled up holding his left hamstring while chasing a long ball downfield."
The Premier League leaders are next in action against Bournemouth on 17 October.
Elsewhere in South America, Brazil were beaten 2-0 by Chile in their World Cup qualifier, with Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and Eduardo Vargas scoring the goals.

Forbes' annual survey of National Football League teams' valuations put the Cowboys at £2.6bn.
It means the American Football side go above Real Madrid, who had topped the magazine's annual poll of the world's most valuable franchises in July.
The Spanish club now trail the Cowboys by £500m according to the new figures.
Last year the Cowboys' revenue was £402m, a record for a US sports team.
Forbes also puts the Cowboys' rise to the number one spot down to the "shrewd" marketing of owner Jerry Jones and the revenue from their home ground, the AT&T Stadium.
The team have the highest NFL average attendance (90,000) and the stadium brings in £78m in revenue from matchday tickets every season and £19m from other events.
The Cowboys have not reached the Super Bowl for 19 years but this is the ninth consecutive year that the Cowboys have been the most valuable NFL team.
The average NFL team is now worth £1.3bn according to Forbes, a 38% increase on last year.
Forbes say one reason is the revenue from their TV deal which last year saw the 32 teams share £2.9bn in national broadcasting revenue.
The team at CR Archaeology discovered the bones in a stone cist grave beneath a wall at Old St Mary's Church, Nefyn - now a maritime museum - 18 months ago.
Tests confirmed she was aged 60 when she died and was buried around 1180.
The team are now working to find out more about her lifestyle and diet.
Archaeologist Matthew Jones, who helped uncover the remains, said the discovery was unusual because while part of the rib cage and spine no longer remained, most of the skeleton was still intact.
This is not often the case for discoveries of this age in Wales because the acidic soil erodes bones, he said.
Mr Jones believes the grave could be one of only a small number of a similar date known in the UK.
Initial tests show the woman was in relatively good health when she died but had arthritis. She had strong bones and muscles but would probably have had a "hard life", Mr Jones said.
Analysis of her bones showed her diet lacked fish, which was unusual as Nefyn was a famous port town at the time she lived.
Further tests are continuing with the hope of finding out more about where the woman came from.
The departures of Opeti Fonua to Newcastle and Jordan Crane to Bristol has weakened Tigers in the back row, but Lachlan McCaffrey and Ed Slater have both played as a number eight.
McAffrey started the first Premiership match of the season against Gloucester.
"We have got good coverage," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"We have guys doing a very good job there but they are probably a hybrid of all three [back-row] positions.
"But we are looking for someone to potentially come into that starting slot.
"When we find the right person we will try to make that signing. If we don't find the right fit, then the lads that are there now are doing a great job and will get better the more they play.
"There is no point rushing in and getting the wrong person. The quality of the person and the dynamic of the fit with the profile of the player we want is the key part."
Jim White told BBC Radio Wales: "This is a sale of shares, there's no other way to describe it at the moment.
"The reality is we have not seen any details of investment."
Ex-Swans assistant boss Colin Pascoe said the club have been "frightened" into seeking new investors.
Swansea confirmed after Saturday's 1-0 win over Chelsea that American businessmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan are looking to take a "controlling interest" in the club.
The Swans hope an agreement, reported to be worth up to £100m, will be reached in a matter of weeks.
"We believe we have a proposal which helps Swansea progress both on and off the field," said chairman Huw Jenkins.
Pascoe, who was also assistant boss to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, worked under American owners at Anfield.
"It would have been a massive decision for Huw Jenkins to take to sell, they [the board] have achieved so much," Pascoe told BBC Radio Wales.
"But to compete in the Premier League, you need the money, everything is inflated.
"This year may have frightened Swansea, things haven't gone right on the pitch.
"Maybe they feel they don't want to be in this position again, so they need investment."
However, the supporters trust's White feels a lack of information means it is unclear whether the move would lead to increased spending power for the 2013 League Cup winners, who have been linked to overseas investment before.
"We have not been party - and are disappointed about that - to the same level of information as other shareholders have had, but from what we have seen, this is a share sale," he added.
"We know the club needs to move forward, the trust is not against investment, we know the club needs to move on and progress.
"But we have not seen any details or further information around investment as such.
"No one doubts investment is needed, but look at Leicester City - they have a similar wage bill to what we at the Swans have.
"They have shown you can compete without billions of pounds."
The Trust currently own a 21% stake in the club.
White says the trust wants to be reassured that they are not going to be squeezed out of the club in the long term.
"What we understand is the new owners are looking for a 75.1% share in the club and in the UK, under company law, when you get to that, then you can start to make other decisions that hold sway over other shareholders," he explained.
"So I guess we are looking for assurances. For example, what could happen, is any new owners could continue to issue new shares.
"If they were to do that and the trust, as the major share holder left in that case, couldn't match that investment, the trust could be diluted and eventually diluted pretty much out of existence.
"That is the type of condition we are looking to prevent in any agreement with the new owners and that's the kind of thing we are looking to get protection on."
Denise Caisley, 32, brandished two knives during the incident at Costcutters in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, on 1 March last year.
The High Court in Glasgow heard how she failed to get any cash after being unable to get a till open.
Caisley, who admitted carrying out the robbery, was jailed for three years and 10 months.
She will also be subject to a 12-month supervised release order once she is freed.
The court heard how Caisley had been spotted "creeping" outside the Costcutters about 19:00.
Her hands were behind her back and she had a blade in each.
Once inside she went behind the counter and tried to force open the till.
Prosecutor Mark McGuire said shoppers escaped as the "increasingly irate" robber stabbed at the till to get money.
Caisley then came outside to demand that staff open the cash register - but they refused.
CCTV footage played in court showed Caisley return and begin to tear off covers from a cigarette display.
Mr McGuire said: "She then took her time apparently perusing the selection before removing a number of packets."
She eventually also took some alcohol before leaving the store.
When caught by police, she was still wearing the bin bags and mask. Two knives were also discovered.
Caisley, of Barrhead, initially told police that two mystery men had made her commit the crime.
John McElroy, defending, said Caisley had spoken of "hating herself" for what she had done and feeling "ashamed".
The German was overseeing his first game since replacing the sacked Brendan Rodgers - and he will have seen plenty to please him as Liverpool battled fiercely to secure a point.
Liverpool showed plenty of the pressing intensity Klopp demands but it was goalkeeper Simon Mignolet who did most to ensure the near-hysteria engendered by the new manager's arrival was not punctured by defeat.
Mignolet saved superbly from Spurs substitute Clinton Njie and from Harry Kane in each half and was busier than opposite number Hugo Lloris.
Liverpool also had chances to win as Belgium striker Divock Origi, in for Daniel Sturridge who is injured again, struck the bar with an early header but neither side could break the deadlock.
And the manner in which Klopp went around embracing his new charges at the final whistle suggested he was well satisfied with his opening 90 minutes in charge.
Follow reaction to this game here.
Relive Klopp's first game in charge here.
Liverpool's players will be hearing a lot from Klopp - and not just on the training ground at their Melwood headquarters.
The 48-year-old German prowled his technical area within inches of the pitch offering encouragement, especially when they came within earshot. They can expect no respite from his demands.
Klopp is well-known for his heart-on-the-sleeve style and it seems clear already that fellow countryman Emre Can is someone he believes can produce big things after a mixed Liverpool career so far.
The 21-year-old Germany international has figured at right-back and central defence more than in the midfield role he was accustomed to when he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in a £10m deal in 2014.
So it was of significance that Can, who Klopp will have studied in the Bundesliga, was immediately played in midfield and responded with an energy and commitment that brought regular gestures of approval from his new manager.
Liverpool had not kept a clean sheet in any of their eight games before their visit to White Hart Lane - and it was easy to see why when Spurs applied pressure.
The hosts were pushed back by Liverpool's determination to implement Klopp's pressing style in their early stages but when they got a foothold Klopp needed the intervention of goalkeeper Mignolet, who saved superbly from Njie and Kane, while only a desperate stop from defender Mamadou Sakho blocked Dele Alli.
Klopp greeted all those incidents with a clenched fist salute. He will, however, want to get to work quickly on ironing out the defensive flaws and uncertainties that the Reds have demonstrated his season.

Klopp felt Liverpool's performance gave him a good foundation, and said afterwards: "0-0 is not my dream result but it is OK.
"I am happy because I saw many good things, in the first 20 minutes we were pressing and were very aggressive.
"We will get stronger. We were a little bit nervous when we got the ball because the pulse was a little too high at this moment.
"There were many full-throttle moments in the game. We need to improve but after working with the players for three days I am completely satisfied."
The styles may be different - one stone-faced and suited, although occasionally highly agitated, the other in a tracksuit and all animated body language - but Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino and Liverpool counterpart Klopp have much in common.
They are both unashamed advocates of intense, pressing tactics and want their players to be super-fit to carry out their wishes.
Liverpool, understandably, are newcomers to Klopp's approach although predecessor Rodgers played the pressing game.
Spurs, in contrast, are now becoming accustomed to Pochettino's preferred style in his second season at the club. It is no coincidence they have won many games late on during his tenure.
At times at White Hart Lane, this was a match where Pochettino and Klopp turned their similar styles on each other, possession suddenly switching sides as the pressing game worked just as they wanted.
It will be intriguing to track the progress of Spurs under Pochettino and Liverpool with Klopp in charge - the clubs share similar aspirations.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino felt his side had looked more likely to win, saying: "Both teams played with a very high tempo and it was an exciting game.
"I am a little bit disappointed not to win because we created four good chances to score and the only clear one Liverpool had came when we were down to 10 men because Nacer Chadli was off the field getting treatment.
"In football you need to be clinical. We weren't but I am still very happy with the performance."
Liverpool return to action when they host Rubin Kazan in the Europa League on Thursday - this will be Klopp's first game in charge at Anfield. Spurs are also involved in Thursday's European action, playing at Anderlecht.

The cut represents about 13% of staff in the roles affected, the supermarket chain said.
But the reduction in staff could affect more people as the supermarket abolishes some jobs and moves workers to other roles.
In November, Sainsbury's said it planned to make £500m of savings in the next three years.
There will be a consultation process to decide precisely which jobs will go.
"We want to work through this period of uncertainty as quickly as possible, while making sure we consult with colleagues who are affected by these changes," chief executive Mike Coupe said in a letter to staff.
"We're committed to treating all impacted colleagues with respect, during what we know will be a difficult time."
Britain's biggest supermarkets are trying to claw back custom from discount stores such as Lidl and Aldi and are cutting costs to reduce prices.
Tesco has said it will close 43 unprofitable stores across the UK - more than half of which will be local convenience shops, known as Tesco Express.
The firm is also shelving plans to open a further 49 new "very large" stores.
Morrisons said it would close 10 loss-making stores in 2015.
The owners of Felixstowe Pier want to turn it into a multimillion-pound entertainment and conference venue with restaurants and retail units.
Officers at Suffolk Coastal District Council are recommending councillors approve planning permission next week.
Designer Haydn Evans said the new pier could be open by Easter 2014 if the plans are approved.
Stan Treadwell, the pier's owner, said: "It's great news it's being recommended for approval.
"It's our intention to proceed, but the devil is always in the detail in planning."
The council said it had had nine letters of objection, including complaints from the South Hill Residents Association that the new pier would obscure the sea view, the extra height would mean it overlooks houses and it had the potential to create extra noise.
Seven letters of support were received saying it would boost tourism and trade and regenerate the existing pier and boating lake.
Officers are recommending that outline planning permission is granted to rebuild the existing promenade so that it would be level with the entrance to the new pier.
It is also proposed that a square or plaza is created at the entrance to the pier, which could be shared with the neighbouring leisure centre.
Part of the boating lake would be turned into car parking.
Wales' Williams, 40, faces five-time champion O'Sullivan in The Masters first round at Alexandra Palace on Tuesday.
Englishman O'Sullivan, 40, returned to the professional tour in December 2015 after an eight-month sabbatical.
"It's just a freak how good he is," Williams added.
"There's not a player around that can play like him. He's nearly 41 and he's a country mile in front of any other player."
Five-time world champion O'Sullivan did not defend his UK Championship title in October but made his comeback at the German Masters qualifiers in December.
He beat Pakistan's Hamza Akbar 5-1, but lost 5-3 in the second qualifying round to world number 62 Stuart Carrington.
It was his first tournament since losing to winner Stuart Bingham in the World Championship quarter-finals in April.
Williams, Masters champion in 2000 and 2003, returns to the invitational tournament three years after his last appearance.

"I haven't been here for a few years now and whatever happens, whatever the scoreline, either way I'm just going to enjoy it," said Williams, who is ranked 14th in the world.
"I'm going to enjoy this one probably more than I have done for the last few times that I've been here. My game's OK but it's not in really good shape compared to what I used to be."
Stephen Sangster senior and his son Stephen junior carried out the attack on Fraser Winton, 41, at a house in Bathgate, West Lothian.
Mr Winton suffered a fractured skull, vertebra and forearm and multiple wounds during the assault.
Prosecutors at the High Court in Edinburgh described it as "a ferocious and sustained attack".
Sangster senior and junior had denied attempting to murder Mr Winton at an address in Owen Stone Street on 31 August 2014, but were convicted by a jury.
The assault began when three men, including the Sangsters, rushed into the flat armed with weapons and the father struck the victim on the head with the sledgehammer.
The court heard that Mr Winton was repeatedly struck and slashed and suffered potentially life-threatening injuries.
As he was being attacked, a woman threw herself over the top of Mr Winton and pleaded: "Don't kill him. Please don't kill him."
During the attack the older Sangster said: "Let's go. We have done him. We have done him."
But his 24-year-old son took the Stanley knife from an accomplice and ground the weapon into his victim, shouting at his father: "He has to die. He has to die. He knows too much."
The victim told the court that Sangster junior had been grinding the knife into the back of his legs.
Advocate depute Alan Mackay told the court: "This was a ferocious and sustained attack carried out on an unarmed man by three individuals, two of whom were the accused.
"The three who took part arrived armed with weapons. They arrived together and went away together.
"This has all the hallmarks of an organised and concerted assault by these men."
Mr Mackay pointed out that the victim had known the pair "for some years". He said Mr Winton had suffered "a very, very serious attack on that evening".
The Sangsters, from Armadale, West Lothian, were later identified as the perpetrators by a witness at an identification parade.
After the verdict, the court heard that both father and son had previous convictions for assault and possession of weapons.
The pair had been on bail but the trial judge, Lord Glennie, remanded them in custody following the jury's decision and called for background reports ahead of sentencing next month.
Thompson, 25, has been back in the side since mid-January after recovering from long-term injury and his return has coincided with a good run of form that has lifted the Robins up to 11th.
"He's absolutely key, he's the most important player at the football club for sure," Williams told BBC Wiltshire.
"The quality of his play is far above League One level."
Williams added: "His leadership qualities and his inspiration to the rest of the group is immeasurable."
Boss Williams also praised 18-year-old forward Ellis Iandolo, who made his second career start in the 2-0 win over Doncaster on Tuesday.
"I think that we could be looking at a player that's going to become part of the furniture at Swindon," he said.
"You watch training and he might have one particular session where he just looks outstanding and he gives you that feeling that you want to see him on the pitch.
"We're fortunate to have a very experienced, very skilful player that can play in that role high up the pitch in Fabien Robert, and it's really a case of having a luxury now that we've got Ellis."
A huge limb from a eucalyptus tree fell near the third hole and with heavy rain falling play was called off at 12:18pm.
Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas picked up three shots and was seven under after 14 holes when the round was ended.
That put him level at the top of the leaderboard with Sam Saunders, one of those not to hit a shot on Friday.
Officials hoped to resume play on Saturday at 7am local time (15:00 GMT).
World number six Jordan Spieth also improved by three shots in the 16 holes he managed and was five under alongside second-round clubhouse leader Cameron Percy of Australia.
Scotland's Martin Laird was one of the few to complete his round and a three-under 68 left him inside the top 10 on four under.
Vegas, one of 48 players who had returned early on Friday morning to complete a first round which had been delayed by fog, dropped only one shot in his 14 holes in round two.
He said: "I knew I was going to hit a lot of bad shots so had to find a way to get a lot of up-and-downs. Staying patient was the key."
The R&B singer's album Blonde has had combined sales of 32,000, including 26,000 downloads, since being released via iTunes and Apple Music on Saturday.
That put it ahead of Dolly Parton's 43rd studio album Pure & Simple.
And David Brent's Life On The Road, the soundtrack for Gervais's new film of the same name, is at number three.
Canadian rapper Drake is at number four with Views, followed by Bob Marley, whose compilation Legend is a non-mover at number five.
ELO, Christine and the Queens, Adele, Justin Bieber and Coldplay have all shuffled down the top 10 to make space for the three new entries at the top of this week's chart.
But after two weeks at number one, Stockport pop band Blossoms have plummeted to number 13.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber has kept his stranglehold on the top two places in the singles chart.
Cold Water, his collaboration with Major Lazer, has remained at number one for a fifth week, while Let Me Love You, with DJ Snake, has stayed in second place for a third straight week.
There are two new entries this week - Ellie Goulding's Still Falling For You, from the Bridget Jones's Baby soundtrack, at 25, and Ain't Giving Up by Craig David and Sigala at number 29.

Associate treasurer Dominic Johnson is one of several party figures to be honoured for political service.
A spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Tories were "making a mockery of our honours system".
Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat grandee Baroness Williams becomes a Companion of Honour.
Businessman David Ord, who gave £25,000 to the Conservatives the day after Theresa May became leader, also gets a knighthood for political service and service to the South West.
The co-owner of Bristol Port Company, who had been south-west regional treasurer of the Conservative Party in the 1990s, was a regular financial backer of the party under David Cameron, donating both nationally and in support of local MPs.
In total he has given more than £1m in cash donations to the party, according to the Electoral Commission.
Mr Johnson is CEO of investment firm Somerset Capital, which he founded with another Conservative MP, Jacob Rees-Mogg.
He provided temporary accommodation for Mr Cameron and his family after the prime minister's resignation in the wake of the EU referendum this summer.
Mr Cameron had been expecting to leave office in October, but brought his departure forward to July after the Conservative leadership contest ended earlier than expected.
The PM was unable to move back into his previous London home, which he swapped in 2010 for Downing Street, as it had been rented out.
According to Mr Cameron's entry in the Commons register of members' interests, the former prime minister - who stood down as an MP in September - occupied the property provided by Mr Johnson between 18 July and 31 October at a rentable value of £2,650 a week, a benefit in kind equivalent to £37,100.
Honours on the basis of political service, which since 2012 have been considered by a committee led by the former Tory MP Sir Michael Spicer, have proved controversial.
Mr Cameron was criticised for including many of his close aides and associates in his resignation honours list in July - prompting calls from opposition parties for his successor Theresa May to intervene and for more transparency in the process.
Other Conservatives to receive honours this time around include director of campaigning Darren Mott (OBE), deputy head of fundraising Louise Goodall (MBE) and Alexandra Broadrick (MBE), former chief of staff to Conservative Party chairman Lord Feldman.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn told the Guardian: "Every crony appointment is an insult to the incredible people from right across Britain who are rewarded for the great contributions they make to our national life."
Elsewhere in the world of politics, there are New Year honours for Conservative MP Julian Brazier and Labour MP David Crausby, both of whom have been recommended for knighthoods.
Former Lib Dem pensions minister Steve Webb also gets a knighthood, while Northumbria Police Commissioner Vera Baird, an ex-Labour MP, becomes a dame for services to women and equality.
Baroness Williams is to be recognised for her distinguished parliamentary career stretching back more than 50 years.
She was first elected to the House of Commons as a Labour MP in 1964 and served in government under Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan, latterly as education secretary.
After losing her seat in the 1979 election, she became one of the so-called "Gang of Four" senior Labour figures who left the party in protest at its direction and formed the breakaway SDP. In 1981, she returned to Parliament after winning a by-election in Crosby, serving as its MP for two years.
The 86-year old is among six prominent individuals to join the Order of the Companions of Honour, a group limited to 65 individuals judged to have made a "major contribution" to British life.
Existing members include Sir John Major, David Hockney, Bridget Riley and Sir David Attenborough.
Among other public servants to be recognised in the New Year Honours are Mark Lowcock, the most senior mandarin at the Department for International Development, and David Beamish - the most senior official in the House of Lords - who both receive knighthoods.
The Commons Brexit committee said the PM should "declare her position" by the middle of February to allow sufficient time for scrutiny.
In its first report, it said MPs must get a vote on the final deal and backed having an interim deal if needed.
In response, the government said its goal was a "smooth and orderly exit".
The prime minister will give more detail of her objectives in a speech on Tuesday. She has said she will formally trigger the process of leaving the EU by the end of March.
Once the Article 50 process begins, the UK will have two years to negotiate the terms of its exit from the EU and outline its future relationship - unless both sides agree to extend the talks.
The committee warned that it would be "unsatisfactory and potentially damaging" to both sides if the UK left with no agreement and transitional procedures may need to be put in place if it did.
In its debut report, the cross-party select committee on leaving the EU - set up in the wake of last year's Brexit vote - made a number of other recommendations, including:
Under pressure from Labour, the SNP and some Conservative MPs, the government agreed to set out its primary negotiating objectives before the process begins.
While not expecting ministers to compromise their negotiating hand, the committee said clear positions on the customs union and the single market were needed.
And any economic assessments carried out on the options relating to market membership and access should be made public, it said.
The prime minister has rejected suggestions that the UK faces a choice between a "hard Brexit" - with greater trade flexibility but the prospect of tariffs and customs duties - and a "soft Brexit" where continued market access would come with obligations to the continued free movement of people and to the European Court of Justice.
EU leaders have said membership of the single market would be incompatible with immigration restrictions, which Mrs May has indicated will be a priority. Labour MP Hilary Benn, who chairs the committee, said it would be "difficult" to reconcile the two.
"This is going to be a hugely complex task and the outcome will affect us all. The government needs to publish its Brexit plan by mid February at the latest, including its position on membership of the single market and the customs union, so that it can be scrutinised by Parliament and the public."
Negotiations on the UK's divorce terms and the basis of its future relationship with the EU should be conducted at the same time, Mr Benn said.
As a "bare minimum", he said by the time of the UK's departure, a "clear framework" for the future of trade with the EU should be in sight.
An interim deal may be required, he added, to avoid the disruption to business of overnight changes to customs procedures, regulatory regimes and immigration rules.
Several Conservative MPs have said a transitional deal which continues to bind the UK to EU institutions, even for a limited period, would be unacceptable.
The committee also said the government should give an explicit commitment at an early stage to give MPs a vote on the final deal.
Businessman John Longworth, a key figure within the Vote Leave campaign, said it was "absurd" to presume that transitional arrangements would be needed before discussions had even started.
"Provided the prime minister makes clear now the direction of travel; that we are leaving the single market and the customs union, business will have plenty of time to plan," he said.
The Department for Exiting the European Union said it would strive for the "best possible" outcome for the UK.
"We've said we will set out our plans, subject to not undermining the UK negotiating position, by the end of March and that Parliament will be appropriately engaged throughout the process of exit, abiding by all constitutional and legal obligations that apply," a spokesman said.

Yorkshire Cat Rescue near Keighley has taken in 450 animals so far this year.
Sara Atkinson, the charity's founder, said: "It's heartbreaking and very difficult.
"We've seen lots of young kittens living in pens waiting for their forever homes."
Jonathan Parry was suspended by Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust on full pay last year following complaints from whistleblowers.
The trust said a disciplinary hearing reviewed 21 allegations of misconduct and found evidence on 11 counts, seven of which amounted to gross misconduct.
The nature of the allegations was not disclosed and the trust said Mr Parry could appeal against the decision.
Trust chair, Sue Musson, said: "I want to acknowledge the bravery of the individuals who came forward and spoke out about their concerns."
Three other members of staff were suspended along with Mr Parry.
The director of human resources and the chief operating officer have since left, while deputy director of performance, Richard McCarthy, was cleared of all allegations.
Southport MP John Pugh, who had asked Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to investigate the suspensions, said he was "perplexed as to how such a clear cut outcome has taken such a long time to emerge".
"The sad reality is that this prolonged process has cost the hospital millions and that has to have an impact on services to the public," he added.
Mrs Musson said she would be taking up a new post as chair of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in January.
She said: "The end of my current term of office coincides with the completion of the disciplinary investigations.
"Therefore this feels like an appropriate juncture for me to move on."
The North South Ministerial Council (NSMC), the cross-border co-operation body, met on Monday at Dublin Castle.
Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU, but the UK as a whole backed Leave.
However, Arlene Foster said that no mention had been made about the possibility of a forum to work on all-Ireland issues following Brexit.
The idea had been proposed by the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny prior to the meeting.
The suggested forum would enable groups to work on areas of mutual interest, his government said.
Northern Ireland's first minister Arlene Foster said the idea "was not discussed" with her at the weekend.
It comes after his tour was cancelled and ITV dropped his TV show. The controversial Vine star - whose real name is Daniel O'Reilly - has angered people after making jokes about rape and homelessness.
He told the BBC "it was a type of comedy he shouldn't have been doing".
He was due to start a 12 date tour in February but that was scrapped before the announcement.
The promoters SJM Concerts have told Newsbeat people who bought a ticket should "return to point of purchase for a refund".
Newsbeat has been trying to get hold of Dapper Laughs but he's not got back to us.
The "Full Length" tour was due to visit England, Scotland and Wales.
His Cardiff show had already been cancelled following a petition by around 700 students who didn't want him to perform at the university.
They said his act "trivialised rape and dehumanised women". Since then similar petitions about other tour dates have started to appear online.
Twenty-year-old student Zara Lindsay was behind one of them. She told Newsbeat she didn't want Dapper Laughs performing on the University of Leicester campus.
She said: "Lad culture is quite prevalent these days. It's especially bad on nights out with theme nights, drinking games and sports initiations. Plus there's a general feeling that sexual assault is something that you should just take on a night out.
"Having people like Dapper Laughs holding gigs here suggests that this is an OK attitude and that sends out the wrong message."
In another blow for the comic, a Swedish based clothing label Bjorn Borg announced they're ending their collaboration with him.
They said: "Sexist jokes are not in line with what the company stands for."
Yesterday ITV announced that they won't be making another series of the show Dapper Laughs: On the Pull after a video surfaced of him making offensive jokes at a live show.

Sussex Police said the woman, who was seen with the child at the station on Friday, was traced to her home address in London.
They said the girl was now in the care of social services but have not given any information about the mother.
Police began an urgent hunt for the woman after being alerted by members of the public who saw the child alone.
CCTV footage showed a woman, believed to be the child's mother, walking with the girl along Queens Road from the station, where they had arrived on a train from London at about 12:30 BST.
Minutes later, concerned passers-by alerted police after spotting the girl on her own at a bus stop near the Ibis Hotel, about 100m south of the station.
Sussex Police said the Metropolitan Police had now taken over the investigation, but a Scotland Yard spokesman was unable to give more details.
Detective Inspector Lee Horner, of Sussex Police, said on Friday that it was not clear whether the girl had got to the bus stop by herself or whether she lost her mother there.
The Metropolitan Police, who compiled the data, said gangs have been known to attack cyclists for their bikes, often along quiet routes at night.
The act has become known as "bike-jacking".
More than 10 bicycles were stolen this way each week in the past 12 months - more than in both previous years.
While muggers have traditionally targeted wallets or mobile phones, police say bikes are now seen as a quick way to make money.
Some are worth thousands of pounds and can be sold on easily for significant sums.
Some cyclists say the fear of being mugged is forcing them off quieter routes and onto busy roads, particularly at night.
The charity The Safety Box says bike-jacking is sometimes used by gangs as an initiation for members and this makes young cyclists vulnerable.
It is running lessons at schools across the capital teaching children awareness of the dangers and how to react if targeted.
Cyclist Alex Sweeting chased a group of muggers he saw stealing a bike from another man.
He said: "It is concerning - whether you're locking your bike up, cycling along or waiting at traffic lights, you've always got this fear you could have your bike stolen and all because a bike is a quick sell."
Some campaigners have criticised police for what they call a "poor response" but officers have admitted they are trying to identify particular danger spots.
Ch Insp Mike West said: "We scan every day for crimes of note and if we pick up on any trends or analysis which would lead us to a hot spot area to deal with crime then that's what we'll do.
"We'll match our resources to where the problems are and you'll generally see a increased uniformed presence."
Mr Meacher had been MP for Oldham West and Royton since 1970, retaining the seat with a 14,738 majority in May.
Mr Meacher, seen as being on the left of the party, spent 29 years on Labour's frontbench including six as an environment minister under Tony Blair.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he was a "man of enormous breadth and intellectual vision".
He served in junior ministerial roles in the Wilson and Callaghan governments in the 1970s and at one time was spoken of as a future Labour leader.
Mr Meacher, an Oxford University classics graduate who had been a lecturer before becoming an MP, stood as the left's candidate against Roy Hattersley for the deputy leadership of the party in 1983, but was defeated.
He quit Tony Blair's government as a minister in June 2003 reshuffle, saying he planned to speak out on a range of issues from the back benches.
In 2007, he attempted to challenge Gordon Brown for the Labour leadership before standing aside to allow John McDonnell, now the shadow chancellor, to stand as the candidate from the party's left wing.
Green MP Caroline Lucas said Mr Meacher was a "great politician, championing climate action".
Mr Meacher had two sons and two daughters from his first marriage in 1962 to Molly, now cross-bench peer Baroness Meacher, who has been leading attempts to block the government's controversial tax credit cuts. He wed again in 1988 to Lucianne, a charity director, who survives him.
Michael Meacher's life and career
Mr Corbyn released a lengthy statement paying tribute to Mr Meacher, who he first met in the early 1970s.
The Labour leader said Mr Meacher had urged him to stand in the leadership contest and given him "huge support".
"He was a valued friend and commentator utterly committed to democracy in our party and movement, as well as in the wider community," he added.
Prime Minister David Cameron described Mr Meacher as a "dedicated Parliamentarian who worked tirelessly on behalf of his constituents".
Peter Dean, Mr Meacher's PA and office manager, told the Oldham Evening Chronicle: "We are extremely sad and it has been quite a short illness he has had and we just don't know the details at present.
"He was such a well respected person and we will just try to deal with any problems people in the area have ongoing. We will still try to assist in any way we can.
"We are extremely sad for his family but all of his staff here at his office have worked with him for 20 years so it is almost like a family bereavement for us. Our office usually deals with around 5,000 cases every year so he has impacted on an enormous amount of people's lives."
Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite, said: "He was a tremendous figure in the Labour movement, devoting his life to the advancement of working people and for that he will always be remembered with deep fondness.
"As a personal friend I always welcomed his views and guidance as well as his optimism and commitment to improving ordinary people's lives. He was a true friend of the trade union movement."
Ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband called him "principled, kind... committed to a fairer, more just world".
The death means a first by-election for Labour under Jeremy Corbyn.
Naomi Long made the claim as she launched the party manifesto.
"Alliance has a real chance to be successful at this election in both East and South Belfast," she said.
"The party was only defeated in East Belfast at the last election thanks to a five-party pact, while we were just 700 votes behind in South Belfast at the most recent poll."
Naomi Long won the East Belfast seat in 2010 when she took it off the DUP's Peter Robinson.
She held the seat until the 2015 general election when she lost out to Gavin Robinson.
The Alliance leader launched the 37-page manifesto in front of candidates, party supporters and candidates at the CIYMS sports complex in east Belfast.
"By electing two MPs, Alliance can have a real say in delivering what this manifesto promises - positive, progressive and pro-European politics," she said.
The manifesto focuses on Brexit and the party says there must be a deal to "recognise the special circumstances in Northern Ireland".
Alliance says a special deal would include participation within the Single Market and the Customs Union.
The document says the party will argue for a fresh referendum so the public can "choose between the final deal and remaining in the European Union".
It says there must be legislation to enact any of the outcomes following Brexit.
Questioned by journalists about the prospect of a referendum on a united Ireland, Mrs Long dismissed the idea.
"It would be reckless to have a border poll at the moment," she said.
The Alliance manifesto also includes a series of commitments on Stormont, the economy, justice, welfare and the environment.
Mrs Long said her party's plans were about "ending deadlock, achieving open government, creating jobs and services, and having progressive politics".
The party says it wants to see the assembly restored and an end to what it calls "the abuse" of the petition of concern"
The manifesto document - entitled Change Direction - also calls on all parties to publish "large political donations" they receive, which Alliance says it does voluntarily.
The manifesto also advocates reforming the electoral system with voting from the age of 16; the party also says it will champion civil marriage for same-sex couples.
The party says it will oppose any repeal of the Human Rights Act, and will work with the Northern Ireland Executive so that cuts to school budgets can be reversed. | The Euro 2016 match between England and Wales will be shown live on the BBC.

Colston Hall bosses had previously maintained that the Bristol attraction was named after the street it is on, rather than Edward Colston.
Much of the Bristol-born MP and merchant's wealth came from the slave trade.
The change, which will not come into effect until 2020, follows a campaign to urge Colston Hall to alter its name.
Louise Mitchell, chief executive of the Bristol Music Trust charity that runs Colston Hall, said it was the "right thing to do" for artists, the public and the "diverse workforce" at the venue, which recently announced plans for a refurbishment costing nearly £50m.
She said: "The name Colston does not reflect the trust's values as a progressive, forward-thinking and open arts organisation.
"We want to look to the future and ensure the whole city is proud of its transformed concert hall and so when we open the new hall, it will be with a new name."
She acknowledged there would be a "backlash" over the change, but admitted the trust had "needed to resolve" the issue ahead of talks with potential sponsors.
"Effectively, I've been selling a toxic brand up to now," she said.
"We need to move forward on this. It's not actually about commerce, it's about doing the right thing."
More on this story, and other news from the West
Over the years, some of the world's biggest music stars have performed at Colston Hall, including The Beatles, David Bowie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan.
The legendary Bristol band Massive Attack have always refused to play at Colston Hall, and the city's mayor Marvin Rees has said he is "not a fan" of the name. A petition launched in February calling for a change gathered more than 2,000 signatories.

Mr Menezes, an electrician who was fatally shot at Stockwell Tube station in south London on 22 July 2005 by officers who mistook him for a suicide bomber, arrived in the UK from Brazil in 2002.
He had joined an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 Brazilians - including some relatives - in London and quickly learnt to speak English.
The son of bricklayer Matosinhos Otoni da Silva, Mr Menezes was born in the town of Gonzaga in the state of Minas Gerais - a source of many migrants to Europe and the US.
He spent his childhood living in an adobe hut in the town.
Mr Silva told BBC News his son had always wanted to be an electrician - as a child, he would make electrical toys with batteries, copper and matchboxes.
Mr Menezes moved to Sao Paulo to live with his uncle at the age of 14, attended high school and became a qualified electrician.
His father said Mr Menezes had always had a desire to move abroad to earn money.
"When he was a child he said: 'Father, I heard on the radio people make good money in England, the United States, France. If I have money to go, I will go. I will take advantage of my age and my energy to help you out.'"
About half of the young people from Gonzaga move abroad in the hope of securing a better future.
The Home Office said Mr Menezes had been granted entry to the UK for six months as a visitor on his arrival on 13 March 2002.
He then applied for leave to remain as a student, which was approved. He was granted leave to remain until 30 June 2003.
The Home Office says his visa expired at that time and that he remained illegally in the UK until his death.
Like many Brazilians in London, Mr Menezes would send money home to his parent's modest farm in Gonzaga.
"He didn't make a lot of money," his father said. "Most of his money went on rent and food.
"He wanted to stay for another two years to save money so he could come back and invest in a ranch."
He said his son was happy in London.
Friends say Mr Menezes was as shocked as all Londoners by the 7 July 2005 Tube and bus bombings, as well as the attempted London public transport attacks on Thursday 21 July - the day before he was shot.
Gésio César D'avila, a friend and colleague, said Mr Menezes had considered alternative transport after the failed attacks.
"We were together on Thursday, and when we saw what happened, Jean said he wanted to buy a motorbike to avoid the Tube," he said.
On 22 July, the day Mr Menezes was killed, police and soldiers had been watching the block of flats in Tulse Hill, where the electrician lived.
They believed Hussain Osman, one of the failed 21 July bombers, was living there. What they did not immediately realise was that the flats shared a communal entrance.
It is thought Mr Menezes left his flat, which he shared with cousins Vivian and Patricia, in order to fit a fire alarm.
Undercover police officers began following Mr Menezes because they thought he looked like Osman.
He took a bus to Stockwell station, where he boarded a train. There he was pinned down and shot seven times in the head and once in the shoulder by two officers trained in stopping suicide bombers.
Police were later to say the officers had feared for their own lives and for those of other passengers on the train.
In the days that followed the shooting, a makeshift memorial to Mr Menezes was set up outside Stockwell Tube station. The shrine of flowers, candles, pictures and newspaper articles became a gathering point for campaigners seeking answers over the incident.
Almost a year after his death, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that no officers would be prosecuted, but the Met Police would be tried for breaching health and safety laws.
On 1 November 2007, the force was found guilty at the Old Bailey of endangering the public over the operation that led to the shooting and fined £175,000 with £385,000 costs. A jury found the force broke health and safety laws when officers pursued Mr Menezes and shot him seven times
An inquest into Mr Menezes death began on 22 October 2008. The jury rejected the police account Mr de Menezes was killed lawfully by two officers and returned an open verdict. The coroner had instructed the jury not to return a verdict of unlawful killing, and gave it the choice of two possible verdicts.
The Met Police settled a damages claim with Mr Menezes family in 2009. The amount of compensation the family will receive was not disclosed.
In January 2010, Menezes family members and campaigners gathered at Stockwell station on what would have been his 32nd birthday to unveil a permanent memorial. A colourful mosaic framing a photograph of Mr Menezes was created by local artist Mary Edwards. | Nearly a decade after the police shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, his family have brought a case at the European Court of Human Rights in an attempt to see someone prosecuted over the 27-year-old's killing. | 33,080,187 | 1,112 | 52 | false |
Visitors who want to eat their own food have been told to eat it at a picnic site outside before entering the theme park.
Admission staff have begun checking visitors' bags for sandwiches and recommending restaurants on site.
More than six million people a year visit the attraction, which charges £86 for an all-day family ticket.
A section of the park's website said: "We do not allow people to picnic within the park.
"Pleasure Beach is experiencing a growing problem with visitors using our restaurants' tables to eat food they have brought in themselves.
"In order to alleviate this, it is our aim to stop people with excessive food from setting up a full meal."
Blackpool Pleasure Beach said that allowances are made for guests with special dietary requirements and dedicated picnic areas are also provided for school parties which book in advance.
Councillor Fred Jackson, deputy Labour leader on Blackpool Council said: "I think it's very sad.
"It's not a family-friendly policy, which is a shame because we all want Blackpool to be family-oriented.
"When our children were younger we couldn't afford to eat in cafes and always had picnics - and there are plenty of people in that position today.
"I would like the Pleasure Beach to reverse that decision."
Blackpool Zoo and Camelot at nearby Chorley both allow picnics to be brought in, in common with other attractions including Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.
It was first proposed in February when First Minister Arlene Foster asked the then Health Minister Simon Hamilton to set up a working group.
In a written answer to Sinn Féin MLA Catherine Seeley, the Justice Minister Claire Sudgen said she had met the Health Minister Michelle O'Neill.
They agreed the establishment of the interdepartmental working group.
The group met on Thursday, 14 July.
The group is expected to report to both ministers by the end of September.
The bitter recriminations will now begin everywhere, and the Tory HQ in Cardiff will be no exception.
They made great play of Theresa May campaigning in Labour-held target seats in Bridgend, Wrexham and Clwyd South, and in the end they did not seriously challenge in any of them.
With hindsight, Mrs May would have been better off shoring up support in Cardiff North, Gower and Vale of Clwyd.
So what went wrong? Did they run a terrible campaign?
Was it a victory of hope over fear, as Jeremy Corbyn would have us believe, or did the country send a signal to Downing Street that it wanted a softer Brexit?
There were local problems with the campaign that will be magnified by the success of their counterparts in Scotland.
That is a problem Plaid Cymru will be able to tell them all about.
Ruth Davidson is the unmistakeable leader of the Scottish party there while the Welsh Tories had three different men in three different debates.
Sources tell me the Welsh-dimension to the campaign was non-existent.
That said, there were times when it just felt that the Conservatives in Wales were being steam-rollered by a tidal wave of red which may have been impossible to stop no matter what was done differently at a local level.

The challenge is seen as one of the most gruelling sporting events, sailing alone for 30,000 miles, non-stop and unaided around the world.
Held once every four years since 1989, the race has claimed three lives, and only 71 of the 138 vessels that have taken part have finished.
"Today is bitter-sweet for me," Thomson said before setting sail in France.
"I get to enjoy the atmosphere as thousands of people gather to wave me and the other sailors off, but I also have to say goodbye to my wife and children, which never gets easier as time goes on.
"The team has worked incredibly hard to get the boat ready and I am confident we now have a boat which is genuinely capable of winning the race."
Another 28 sailors are in action alongside Thomson, whose yacht cost £4.5m over two years to make, and are expected to be at sea for three months.
Chemicals from dandelion root and the "thunder god vine" plant have long been used in traditional medicines.
Now, Californian researchers have found they can also block fertilisation.
A UK sperm expert said the discovery could lead to a new and novel approach to male contraception.
But the compounds existed at such low levels in plants that the cost of extraction was very high, the US team said.
In tests, chemicals called pristimerin and lupeol stopped fertilisation by preventing human sperm from whipping its tail and propelling itself towards and into the woman's egg.
The chemicals were acting like "molecular condoms", the study authors wrote in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In other words, they successfully blocked progesterone - which triggers the sperm's forceful swimming - but didn't damage the sperm.
"It doesn't kill sperm basal motility. It is not toxic to sperm cells; they still can move," said Polina Lishko, assistant professor of molecular and cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
"But they cannot develop this powerful stroke, because this whole activation pathway is shut down."
Lupeol is found in plants such as mango, dandelion root and aloe vera, while pristimerin is from the tripterygium wilfordii plant (also known as "thunder god vine") and is used in traditional Chinese medicine.
The researchers found that the chemicals worked at very low doses and had no side-effects either, unlike hormone-based contraceptives.
They concluded that the compounds could potentially be used as an emergency contraceptive, before or after intercourse, or as a permanent contraceptive via a skin patch or vaginal ring.
Prof Lishko and her colleagues are now going to test how well these chemicals work in primates, whose sperm cells work in a similar way to humans.
They also are searching for a cheap source of the chemicals, which are very expensive to extract from wild plants because they are present at very low levels.
Allan Pacey, professor of andrology at the University of Sheffield said there was a real need for a non-hormone base male contraceptive.
"This is a very interesting study which shows that two natural compounds can knock out a key molecule on sperm that regulates how they swim in the final moments before fertilisation.
"Moreover, because the molecule is specific to sperm, it seems a good bet that this could be a novel contraceptive target that might lead to a male contraceptive pill without any of the side-effects so far seen in trials with hormone-jab contraceptives."
However, he said clinical trials were needed to show whether it worked in real people and this was likely to take a few years.
He will now start forming a minority government, after the Queen's approval.
But in a fiery Senedd session, Plaid leader Leanne Wood said her party would vote against Labour again if needed, accusing it of "bullying" behaviour.
UKIP's Neil Hamilton also sparked a row calling her and Lib Dem Kirsty Williams Mr Jones's "political concubines".
The comments came after Mr Jones outlined his plans.
He told AMs there would be legislation on public health, additional learning needs and on smacking.
But he said legislation would not be brought forward in the first 100 days so that AMs could establish a new, more collaborative way of law-making.
The Welsh people wanted Labour to proceed with "caution and humility", he told the assembly.
Mr Jones added his government's priorities would reflect "the successful result for Welsh Labour in the May election, and subsequent discussions with the main opposition party, Plaid Cymru".
Labour's main aims include a "relentless focus on securing a successful and sustainable future for our steel industry", and Mr Jones pledged ministers would "campaign vociferously for a Remain vote" in June's EU referendum.
He said Labour would then bring forward "a new Public Health Bill, an Additional Learning Needs Bill, and we will take forward, on a cross-party basis, legislation that will remove the defence of reasonable chastisement [of children]" and "seek to amend the current Welsh language measure".
But Ms Wood issued a warning to Labour not to expect an easy ride over the next five years after Plaid became the official opposition.
"Today is not about coalition," she said. "Today's is a one off vote to allow Labour's nomination to go through.
"And if that party thinks their bullying last week will stop Plaid Cymru from voting in a similar way in the future to hold you to account, then think again."
Ms Wood also refused to apologise for challenging Mr Jones for the first minister post which led to a tied vote and deadlock,
"I'm not sorry for what happened last week and I will do it again if I have to make Labour realise they are running a minority government," she added.
Meanwhile, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies urged Mr Jones to clarify where he stood on controversial plans for an M4 relief road around Newport, improving the NHS and reducing the number of local councils.
"We will from the benches here hold you to account, on each and every corner that you try and turn", Mr Davies said.
"But we will also seek to be constructive in the way we engage and debate on the points that need to be brought forward."
Any suggestion that there would be a cosying up between Labour and Plaid came to an abrupt end when Leanne Wood wasted no time in laying into Carwyn Jones.
You would never have guessed that the two parties had been working closely together over the past few days on a deal when she described Labour as complacent, arrogant and having a sense of entitlement.
One AM described it to me after as being close to a declaration of war, and something that caused genuine surprise among Labour and Conservative ranks.
The inevitable question is how long the Labour-Plaid deal is likely to last in the light of Leanne Wood's tone.
Throw into the mix Neil Hamilton's description of Leanne Wood and Kirsty Williams as "concubines", and all round we were left with a spiky first session that kept us all guessing.
The lens module features optical image stabilisation (OIS) tech to counteract the effect of shaky hands - marking the first time the feature has appeared in a handset's front camera.
The firm also says the HTC 10's rear camera is ranked as one of the best.
But analysts are doubtful whether such features are enough to improve the Taiwanese company's fortunes.
Five years ago, HTC was the world's fourth bestselling smartphone maker with a market share of about 9%.
But in 2015, it fell to 17th place with a share of about 1%, according to research firm IDC.
HTC posted a 15.6bn Taiwanese dollar ($480.5m; £335.8m) loss in its last financial year, leaving it with cash reserves of just over double that sum.
It blamed its ill fortune on a lack of demand for its last top-end handset - the HTC One M9.
"To be very candid, our flagship did not perform well," the firm's chief financial officer Chialin Chang told analysts in February.
"Actually I would say our flagships are falling far short of our expectations for the entire cycle of 2015."
One company watcher said the new Android handset addressed complaints about the M9's camera, display, battery life and ageing design - but said it might still struggle.
"HTC has righted all the wrongs with the last two generations of products and delivered the phone that it needed," said Ben Wood from the consultancy CCS Insight.
"But it still has a mountain to climb to gain any traction despite the fact this looks like a beautiful device.
"That's because there are many, many other manufacturers out there with stunning products too, and HTC can't afford the marketing firepower to match rivals like Samsung and Huawei."
HTC says that by adding OIS to both the 10's cameras they should cope well in low light conditions since they can keep their shutters open for longer without risking blurred results.
"It's a world's first - optical image stabilisation in the front-facing camera," explained its executive Graham Wheeler.
"It was incredibly difficult to do because OIS is quite a large module with magnets in it - and we had to have two near to each other.
Both front and rear cameras have a relatively wide aperture of f1.8 - meaning they let in more light than the previous generation - but differ in resolution.
The front is five megapixels and the rear 12MP.
Photos can be captured in the RAW format - allowing more flexibility in photo editing software than Jpgs - and a laser-based focusing system on the back is said to be fast enough to work in photo-burst mode.
HTC's marketing materials point out that 10's rear camera ties with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's as the best of their kind in tests by DxOMark - a highly regarded image research firm.
Other features of the new phone include:
It will cost £569 when it goes on sale later this month.
That is £20 less than the M9's launch price and matches the cost of Samsung's Galaxy S7.
One analyst who was given an early look at the handset said he found little to be excited about.
"It has a good display, but it's not the best," said Stuart Robinson from Strategy Analytics.
"The DxO mark is good, but it's the same as the S7 Edge - and does that make it the best? Normally, I would recommend people look at several benchmarks rather than just one.
"Selfies are very popular, so putting optical image stabilisation in the front camera does matter.
"But if HTC really wanted to push the message about its front-facing camera hard it should have used the same one as that in the rear - the reason it hasn't done so is to keep costs down."
HTC recently launched the Vive - a virtual reality headset that offers more features than its competitors and is more expensive as a consequence.
But unlike LG and Samsung, it has chosen not to sell add-on VR kit for the HTC 10, although the phone is compatible with Google Cardboard cases.
Mr Wood said this was not surprising.
"It's a conscious decision as HTC feels Vive is at a completely different level from its virtual reality competitors and doesn't want to dilute that message by offering a mediocre VR smartphone experience," he said.
"But it's not out of the question that it will do something with mobile VR when it thinks it's the right time."
Patients needing routine care such as knee and hip replacements are meant to be treated in 18 weeks under NHS rules.
But the numbers waiting longer than that now top 350,000 - a 163% rise since 2012. There are 3.7 million people in total on the waiting list.
The government promised the NHS would do "better in the future".
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have also seen pressures grow - meaning no part of the UK is now meeting its target to see patients.
Royal College of Surgeons president Clare Marx said the picture was "very disappointing" as these operations and treatments could make a huge difference to people's lives.
"Someone waiting for a gall-stone removal will be in a lot of pain and discomfort.
"The longer you wait for a hip or knee replacement the less likely you are to have good outcomes. These waits really matter.
"The standards of care are being eroded and we don't want it to get worse."
But Richard Murray, from the King's Fund think tank, predicts the numbers on the waiting list will keep rising.
The total of 3.7m is a 44% increase since 2012, but he expects to see the trend continue and break through the four million barrier by the spring.
"If you go back 15 years waiting lists were longer, but it is now heading in the wrong direction."
One of those affected has been Nikki Alldis, who lives in the South East.
She has been waiting 15 months for a bowel operation. It has twice been cancelled.
She said the wait had been very difficult and she was "gutted" the last time it was put off in January. "It's hanging over me."
England: Up 163%
Northern Ireland: Up 95%
Scotland: Up 82%
Wales: Up 74%
The figures are the percentage rise in the number of waits over the target time for treatment in each nation
The latest figures cover the month of November and mean the target for the NHS - that at least 92% of patients on waiting lists will not have been waiting over 18 weeks - has been missed since February last year.
A Department of Health spokesman said the NHS was having to treat more patients - 5,000 extra a day compared with 2010 - so the levels of performance were actually a "tribute" to the work of NHS staff.
He said the investment being made in the NHS this Parliament would help "transform services" and mean the NHS will do "better in the future".
The targets for routine treatments are measured differently in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but all show a similar picture.
In Wales, 95% of patients are supposed to start treatment within 26 weeks. This target has not been met since August 2010 and the number of long waiters has risen by 74% to 60,643 in November 2016.
Scotland's target is for 90% of patients to start treatment within 18 weeks. This has been missed since June 2014. The number waiting longer than 18 weeks was up 82% over that period at 16,635.
Northern Ireland has a target of 55% per cent of patients waiting no more than 13 weeks for an operation. The number waiting longer than that was up 95% in the four years to September 2016.

The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said growing use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and low staff levels had created a volatile environment.
The report said: "The increased availability of NPS in prison has led to some episodes of protracted rage."
The Prison Service said it had taken a number of steps to address concerns.
The report - which covers from August 2015 until July 2016 - stated staff were "overwhelmed" and "reluctant" to assert their authority.
This created "strained relationships" between staff and inmates, leading to fights and injuries on both sides, the IMB found.
Mark Fairhurst, from the Prison Officers' Association (POA), said: "There's a lack of experience to guide them, there's no managerial presence because of the pressures our POA members face."
He added that since 2010, the service had shed 7,000 officers. Staff retention was also problematic as officers were left facing violent situations without any support, he said.
POA members went on strike earlier this month in protest over staffing level concerns and the nationwide surge in prison violence.
The Prison Service spokesman said: "HMP Bristol has taken a number of steps to address the concerns raised by the Independent Monitoring Board, including refresher courses and new training for staff.
"The prison is also working to recruit new staff and anticipates being fully staffed early next year."
It added that an extra 2,500 extra frontline prison officers were being brought in to reduce violence and tackle use of drugs, drones and mobile phones.
In May, the chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, warned synthetic drugs - which were made illegal in the UK in May - were "destabilising" some prisons.
The IMB's report on HMP Bristol described how NPS usage affected inmates there.
It said: "The effects vary greatly from, at one end, unprecedented and unpredictable violence and, at the other, a reduced state of consciousness."
Because this drug use frequently required hospitalisation, it disrupted staff routines and caused high sickness rates; during one week 35 ambulances were called to the prison.
The Isle of Man rider, 29, had slipped four seconds adrift of Germany's John Degenkolb on Friday.
But he claimed 10 bonus seconds in his second stage victory of the four-day event to finish six seconds clear of the German in the final standings.
"To win here is pretty special," said Cavendish. "We rode hard the whole week and today we really had to work. I'm super happy with our lads."
The Etixx-QuickStep rider clocked a time of two hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds in Saturday's 123-km stage, which finished at the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
He finished just ahead of Team Sky's Elia Viviani and Juan Jose Lobato of Movistar, both of whom recorded the same time as Cavendish.
Degenkolb could only cross the line in ninth.
Cavendish was critical of rival teams at the end of the race, claiming that "most of the days we were the only team riding".
"I was a bit frustrated with the other teams," he added. "They came here but didn't really want to race."

The Rhinos were beaten at home by Wakefield on Monday, having lost at Castleford three days earlier.
"We haven't been good enough and we haven't played well and we have to take it on the chin and deal with it," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"The mood is good in training despite the poor form and we have to look to ourselves to get out of this."
Brian McDermott's side, who have only won two of their opening eight fixtures, lost just nine of 30 Super League games last season as they won the treble.
Burrow added: "We can't keep saying that we need to get it right next week.
"It's been a tough season and it's just getting worse and worse. We've got no excuses. We just need to get wins."
The Rhinos host 11th-placed Hull KR on Friday.
The bird, thought to be nearly 20 years old, had been guarding her nest of six eggs in Perranporth when she was savaged by a dog, it is believed.
'Mrs Swan' and her mate 'Mr Swan' have been described as 'big friends of the community' and have made national headlines for holding up traffic.
Vets tried to treat her leg wound but she had to be put down on Sunday.

Julian Tredinnick who manages the boating lake where they nest, said reports from vets suggest the bird was attacked by a dog.
"She was sitting quite happily on the nest. The eggs were due to hatch in the next couple of weeks so everyone was all happy and expectant".
Mat Judge, who also works for Perranporth Gardens Charities, which manages the land, said: "She was a big friend of the community and a lot of people are really upset. The male is going to be lost".
He said they were contacting the RSPCA to see if another female could be introduced.
Fe wnaeth ei sylwadau ar ôl teithio i Langennech i gwrdd â rhieni sy'n gwrthwynebu'r cam i droi'r ysgol yn un cyfrwng Gymraeg.
Ym mis Ionawr, pleidleisiodd mwyafrif cynghorwyr Sir Gâr o blaid y newid.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y cyngor bod y camau statudol wedi'u dilyn a'u bod wedi ymgynghori'n eang cyn dod i'r penderfyniad.
Dywedodd Mr Hamilton ei fod yn cefnogi bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050, ond bod y penderfyniad ar Ysgol Llangennech yn mynd yn erbyn "dymuniadau rhieni".
"Y bobl anoddefgar yn fan hyn yw'r aelodau Plaid Cymru sy'n gorfodi hyn ar bentref sydd ddim am ei weld," meddai Mr Hamilton.
"Fel arweinydd UKIP yn y Senedd dwi wedi bod yn flaenllaw wrth gefnogi camau i hyrwyddo diddordebau'r iaith Gymraeg."
Mynnodd hefyd ei fod yn amddiffyn diddordebau rhieni oedd wedi gweld polisi addysg yn cael ei "osod" arnyn nhw gan gynghorwyr, er bod ymgynghoriad wedi derbyn tua'r un nifer o sylwadau o blaid ac yn erbyn y syniad.
"Os ydyn ni'n ceisio gorfodi'r iaith Gymraeg lawr cyrn gwddf pobl fyddai fel arall am ei gwarchod, ond dydyn nhw ddim ei eisiau ar gyfer eu plant, fyddwn ni ddim yn ennill y frwydr dros feddyliau pobl er mwyn sicrhau bod Cymru'n dod yn wlad ddwyieithog o fewn fy mywyd i," meddai.
Wrth ymateb i sylwadau Mr Hamilton, dywedodd Aelod Cynulliad Plaid Cymru Simon Thomas fod y penderfyniad wedi bod yn un democrataidd.
"Dwi'n meddwl ei bod hi'n anffodus iawn bod UKIP yn trio achosi cynnen rhwng pobl sy'n siarad Cymraeg a Saesneg - mae'r penderfyniad yn Llangennech yn un i'r gymuned leol, yr ysgol, y llywodraethwyr, ac yn y pen draw, i'r cyngor sir," meddai.
"Mae'r broses sydd wedi bod yn digwydd dros y tair blynedd diwethaf wedi bod yn glir a thryloyw i bawb, ac mewn ffordd ddemocrataidd."
Dywedodd y cynghorydd Gareth Jones, aelod cabinet Cyngor Sir Gâr ar addysg: "Mae'r penderfyniad ar y cynnig i newid darpariaeth ysgol gynradd yn Llangennech wedi dilyn proses hir, ac rydyn ni'n fodlon bod y camau statudol wedi eu dilyn a'n bod ni wedi ymgynghori'n eang."
Dywedodd cadeirydd rhanbarth Caerfyrddin Cymdeithas yr Iaith, Sioned Elin: "Mae newid ysgol Llangennech i fod yn ysgol Gymraeg yn bwysig i'r sir gyfan yn ogystal â Llangennech.
"Dim ond addysg Gymraeg fydd yn sicrhau bod plant yn rhugl yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg ac yn sicrhau cyfleoedd gwaith a chymdeithasol iddynt yn y dyfodol.
"Roedd yn rhagweladwy y byddai Neil Hamilton yn achub ar y cyfle i wneud safiad gwrth-Gymraeg fel hyn, fyddai'n amddifadu cenhedlaeth arall o blant o'r gallu i fyw a gweithio yn Gymraeg.
"Beth sydd i'w ddisgwyl gan rywun nad yw'n trafferthu byw yn yr etholaeth na'r wlad y mae'n gwasanaethu?"
Asda said it would start selling blue reliever inhalers over the counter without prescription from Tuesday.
Customers over 16 will be able to buy two inhalers for £7.
The Department of Health said that medicines must be dispensed by qualified staff "in line with all legal requirements".
In England such items would incur a charge of £7.65 if obtained on prescription; in the rest of the UK prescription charges no longer apply.
There are two different types of inhalers, "relievers" and "preventers", available to the 5.2 million people in the UK who suffer from asthma.
Blue reliever inhalers - the ones Asda will be selling - contain the drug salbutamol and are used if someone is feeling wheezy or suffering an attack.
Preventer inhalers are taken twice daily to help keep asthma under control.
Faisal Tuddy, deputy superintendent pharmacist at Asda, said the service was designed to be easy and convenient but would be closely monitored.
"All of our pharmacists have been trained and know they mustn't sell the inhalers without due care," he said.
Dr Samantha Walker, executive director of research and policy at Asthma UK, said the scheme was interesting in principle but she was uncertain how it would work in practice.
She said: "We applaud anything that is going to help asthma suffers but this new service has raised a few questions for us.
"Our main worry is people will overuse their inhalers when they know this service is available. If you use your inhaler too much you may end up in hospital."
Customers will be limited to two inhalers at a time which will have to last them eight weeks.
They will need to fill in a questionnaire about their condition before buying the medication.
Qualified pharmacists and an online doctor service will oversee the sale of the inhalers.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "Medicines should be dispensed by appropriately qualified staff and in line with all legal requirements."
Dr Morris Fraser was the senior psychiatric registrar at the Royal Victoria Hospital's child guidance clinic in Belfast.
He also wrote the book Children in Conflict, about how the Troubles in Northern Ireland affected children.
The study into Fraser's activities was produced by academic Dr Niall Meehan.
It highlights a catalogue of failures by the authorities that enabled Fraser to remain on the medical register despite being convicted twice - in 1972 in London and in 1974 in New York - for child abuse.
As a result, Fraser continued to have access to vulnerable children and to sexually abuse them for a period of about 20 years.
Dr Meehan said the General Medical Council, London's Metropolitan Police and the Royal Ulster Constabulary did not tell the Royal Victoria Hospital that Fraser had been convicted of child abuse.
He added that Fraser's victims required justice, and the onus is now on the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales to investigate how the authorities' dealt with Fraser.
"The Goddard inquiry, which is looking into child abuse in Britain, must look at the interaction between abuse in Northern Ireland and abuse in Britain," he said.
"The police should have told the hospital when they detected Fraser's abuse in 1971," he said.
"It must be surely assumed that Fraser was allowed to continue his work in return for providing some form of services to the authorities.
"These are very serious concerns - the point is the authorities must answer for this."
It is understood a Freedom of Information request regarding Fraser was turned down in 2015 for reasons of national security.
Dr Meehan said that fuelled the suspicion that "he was working for the authorities in some way".
"People talk about these matters being in the past but the victims of this abuse are alive - these are matters of the present," he added.
"Children were abused while the authorities knew that they were being abused."
Richard Kerr, who now lives in Texas, was one of Fraser's victims.
He was about 12 years old when he was first taken to the psychiatrist's clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital along with his sister.
On his second visit, he was alone.
"He asked me to stand up and take my shorts down," Mr Kerr said.
"For some reason, within a minute, he had some sort of Polaroid camera. He started taking shots.
"He said not to worry - he's a doctor. But I felt embarrassed."
Two years later, Richard was sent to Kincora boys' home, the centre of an abuse scandal between the late 1950s and early 1980s.
Richard, who was abused at the home, felt increasingly isolated and vulnerable.
He said those in positions of power exploited vulnerable children.
"The only people I knew were my abusers and the only thing I had to do was to try and please them, because I had no one else to turn to," he said.
"They used me to go out to other locations and be with different men.
"Back then, no one believed me. I didn't think anyone would believe me.
"They use your troubled past against you."
Wales slumped seven places to 24th in the latest list, England fell one spot to 10th, and the Republic of Ireland dropped two positions to 31st.
Scotland - who failed to qualify for the tournament in France - enjoyed a jump of five places into 40th place.
Argentina moved ahead of Belgium to top the rankings, with Chile, Colombia and Germany completing the top five.
The European Championship begins on 10 June, with the final taking place on 10 July.

That's the situation facing the owners of Neverland Ranch, the former home of pop star Michael Jackson.
They've had the well-known gated estate, now called Sycamore Valley Ranch, on the market since May. So now, after months without a sale, they're targeting Asia's super wealthy.
The asking price? About $100m ((£66m) according to a listing on Hong Kong-based Luxify, an online marketplace that specialises in buying and selling luxury items and connecting buyers to dealers.
It makes money by charging for listings and all its transactions are completed offline.
Launched in March, the privately-owned online firm now has offices in Singapore and London, but says about 70% of its 21,000 active buyers are based in Asia.
Which is why co-founder Alexis Zirah says he's confident he'll be able to sell Neverland - most likely to a Chinese buyer.
"We are working online as well as offline to find the right buyer," he says. "You have to remember that Chinese people are the biggest foreign investors in the US property market."
Statistics from the US National Association of Realtors confirm that Chinese investors purchased $22bn worth of residential real estate in the 12 months to March, a 72% increase from the year before.
So it's no surprise Neverland is just one of a number of celebrity homes and famous castles listed on Luxify.
Last week, the online firm put up Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion, a property the basketball star has been trying to sell for several years.
Today's offer price for the 56,000 sq ft property? Just under $15m - or almost half the amount it was first listed for in 2012.
In addition to multimillion dollar homes, Mr Zirah and his business partner Florian Martigny list cars, jewellery, wine, yachts and collectibles, but more than half of their products are second-hand.
Buying pre-loved luxury items used to be taboo in Asia, but attitudes are changing quickly, especially as regional customers look for bargains online.
"This is completely new," says Mr Martigny.
"Two, three years ago, nobody in Asia was buying pre-owned luxury items," he explains.
"There is still stigma against it, but it's much less now," he adds as he shows off a second-hand Italian sports car that's listed for more than $3m.
Globally, the online second-hand luxury industry is still small, but according to a 2014 study by management consultants Bain & Company, it's growing quickly, twelvefold since 2007.
Bain & Company's Claudia D'Arpizio estimates the market for second-hand luxury clothing, accessories, watches and jewellery was worth about 16 billion euros ($17bn) in 2014.
"While this market threatens new product sales, it is simultaneously turning luxury goods into durables with an increasingly defined re-sell price, thus increasing their value," she says.
A rival report from McKinsey & Company estimates that luxury online sales grew by 50% from 2013 to 2014, reaching 14bn euros ($14.8bn; £9.93), representing 6% of the global luxury market for personal goods.
Perhaps nothing else embodies the convergence of luxury, technology and the sharing economy as much as the rise of online second-hand sites like Luxify and Guiltless, another firm that's set to launch a consignment site - a marketplace for people to sell on their possessions.
Guiltless was founded in Hong Kong by 25-year-old Yen Kuok, youngest daughter of Malaysian billionaire Robert Kuok and is set to launch in Hong Kong and Singapore in January.
Ms Kuok started Guiltless after trying to sell her high-end clothes and accessories to consignment sites in the US, where she attended university.
"They were very keen, but they said they didn't take items from Asia," she says.
"In fact, they didn't take items outside Europe or the US. I was quite shocked."
Her site has since collected about 3,000 pieces - mostly dresses, handbags and shoes - of which 40% are second-hand. The rest are new items, usually from past collections.
Ms Kuok estimates the goods will be offered at discounts of between 30% and 80% off their original retail price.
"Even if people in Asia don't admit it, they are looking for a deal. They're looking for value for money," she says.
"In Europe, people carry an expensive handbag for life. In Asia, people want a new model every year."
Guiltless will launch with six full-time and six part-time employees and has plans to target shoppers like Vinnie Ong - a 25-year-old investment banker working in Hong Kong.
Ms Ong says her first luxury purchase was a pair of ballet slipper style shoes when she was 18 from designer Tory Burch.
After graduating from university and landing a well-paying job, her enthusiasm grew. She began to buy handbags from brands such as Celine, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Prada.
But after snapping up a pristine second-hand Prada handbag for about half its retail price, Ms Ong says she was quickly drawn to shopping on consignment websites.
"I was getting an almost-new item at a really great price. It was a very positive experience," she explains.
Ms Ong estimates that she has spent about $10,000 on handbags this year and says about half of them are second-hand.
"I will probably increase my luxury spending as I get older, in line with my spending power," she says.
Meanwhile, new and emerging business like Guiltless and Luxify are counting on shoppers around the world to do much the same.
Police arrested the boys, aged between 13 and 17, on Saturday after reports of an incident at the school on Trench Road in the Waterside area of the city.
The boys were questioned about a number of offences, including criminal damage.
They have been released pending further enquiries.
The decisions follow a combined public inquiry, which closed in May 2014.
A sixth proposal - to upgrade an existing wind farm at Llandinam - was approved, but plans for a power line to link it to the grid were rejected.
As part of the plan, power lines would have run through Shropshire to link energy generated by the wind farms to the national supply.
Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies welcomed the announcement while the Welsh government said it was "very disappointing".
Onshore wind energy has been a controversial issue in rural Wales, marked by protests against the visual impact of turbines.
The combined public inquiry, which ran for almost a year from June 2013, was ordered by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) after Powys council refused to approve construction for a range of wind farm projects.
Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom confirmed on Monday that only one of the six projects - a revamp of ScottishPower's existing wind farm at Llandinam - had been approved.
However, a proposed overhead power line connecting it to a sub-station at Welshpool was rejected.
A ScottishPower spokesperson said the firm acknowledged the decisions, adding: "We will now need to consider our next steps over the coming weeks."
Four other wind farm projects - at Llanbadarn Fynydd, Llaithddu, Llanbrynmair, and Carnedd Wen - were also refused.
A DECC spokesperson said: "Careful consideration has been given to each application, and the planning and energy issues involved."
Tory MP, Mr Davies said "a dark cloud" over Montgomeryshire had been lifted.
"We have protected the legacy which we have enjoyed, for our children to love in the way we do," he said.
"I am pleased that DECC Ministers have listened to the inspirational protest movement that rose up against the plans of the Welsh Government to desecrate mid Wales with pylons and several hundred additional turbines.
"It was a wholly unreasonable and insensitive proposal."
However, the Welsh government said the area would now "miss out" on investment, and jobs, while Wales had been "denied the opportunity to further reduce our carbon emissions by a decision made in Westminster".
"Today's decision is not only very disappointing and concerning but once again reinforces the importance of the Welsh government having control of energy consents for projects in our country," a spokesman said.
Belgian survivors of Nazi persecution appealed to the government to stop the payments, and Pensions Minister Daniel Bacquelaine "shares their indignation", his spokeswoman told the BBC.
But Germany manages the payments and "we have no official figures" for the recipients, Geraldine Lamoureux added.
After the 1945 liberation, 57,000 Belgian collaborators were convicted.
Belgians were recruited into the German SS and Wehrmacht, and collaborators also helped the Nazis to send Jews and resistance fighters to concentration camps.
The petition to stop the German pension payments was the initiative of the Memorial Group - Belgians who survived the Nazi camps and who want modern Belgium to remember the wartime occupation.
The group's president, Pieter Paul Baeten, quoted by Belgian broadcaster RTBF, said: "It's sad. Belgium can't get hold of the information [on pension recipients], or doesn't want to.
"But I don't understand how, in today's Europe, Belgium and Germany can't manage to exchange this information."
It is not clear if those receiving the pensions are all living in Belgium.
Ms Lamoureux said the pensions minister "will discuss the matter with other ministers, to find a solution".
After the war Leon Degrelle, who led the Belgian collaborators under the Nazis, fled to fascist Spain, where he was sheltered by the Franco dictatorship and died in 1994.
Belgium sentenced him to death as a traitor, but he prospered in Spain, even after Franco's death and the rebirth of democracy in 1975.
A detailed investigation by Belgian historians concluded in 2007 that Belgian collaborators worked closely with Nazi officials to persecute Jews after the German invasion in 1940. Anti-Semitism was widespread in the Belgian establishment at the time, they said.
In a parliamentary answer in 2012 the German government said it could not confirm the 2,500 figure for Belgian ex-collaborators alleged to be getting German pensions.
The government said only scrutiny of each individual's file could determine how many had served with Nazi military units, and those files were held by the German regional authorities.
When asked about the collaborators, it said (in German) 57 Belgians were getting German BVG ("Bundesversorgungsgesetz") maintenance payments, but did not explain who those Belgians were.
In 2012 the German government paid BVG allowances to 209,654 victims of the Nazis and their relatives, in Germany and abroad, but the amount was not specified.
Other German reparations for World War Two included payments to 58,932 Jews via two funds managed by the Jewish Claims Conference. The government said recipients were getting up to €300 (£236; $341) monthly from one fund, and up to €260 from the other.
Newsbeat has seen new research from the Internet Watch Foundation warning that the age at which some children are taking part in indecent acts online is getting younger.
Now 16, Louise - not her real name - is being helped by experts from the NSPCC.
This is her story.
"When I was nine, that was the first time I went online. The site I used, it was kind of just one where you couldn't see anyone's faces.
"It was any name you wanted it to be.
"So I went on and I would lie about my age and say I was 14, and straight away there would be men of any age, like from 40 to 20.
"They would come up to me and it didn't matter that I said I was 14.
"They'd still all be in there asking to see, obviously, parts of my body.
"At the time, I did know it was wrong, but at the same time when an adult tells you to do something it was kind of just, 'OK, well this is an adult telling me to do it, so I'm going to do it.'
"So I didn't even really think about it, like, what I was doing.
"And then my mum and dad found out, so that all stopped. And it had all completely stopped until I was 12, then I used the same site again.
"At this point I knew I didn't have to lie about my age, because nobody had cared before anyway.
"I got into my first, what I considered a relationship. It went from zero to 100 in severity in about two days.
"One minute it was him just taking me into, we all had like our private rooms on the game, so he took me into his room and was just talking to me as a friend and the next minute I'd given him my MSN, my number.
"I hadn't even realised really how much I was giving. And within a week, we were in what I considered a relationship and probably within a week and a half he was already asking for pictures, for me to come on webcam.
"From then on if I didn't send a picture then I was doing something wrong. And if I did send a picture it was like, 'Well, just remember that I didn't ask for that picture, it was something that you wanted to send.'
"So at the same time I always felt like it was something, I was sort of leading him on, I was prompting everything.
"So I felt like I was in the wrong which is one of the reasons I didn't really tell anybody. Because I always thought that it was something I was doing, something I wanted."
Louise said from the ages of 13 to 15 she spent every day online talking to different men on different websites.
She said at 13, she became close with someone online who was eventually went to prison for four years.
"It was kind of an on and off thing for about two years. As friends we'd talk, and then he's asked to see me. One time, there was a dummy involved in a situation as a joke and I put it in my mouth and he found that really attractive.
"It was the weirdest thing. It was the weirdest scenario I've ever been in. But for some reason I felt I should do it to please him."
Louise said some of the men would talk about their children and jobs and didn't seem bothered about her age.
She believes that the topic needs to be addressed in schools, because children are active online and don't realise the dangers they can be getting themselves into.
"For parents, my parents always taught me stranger danger, if someone on the streets offers you sweets say no, if someone tells you to get in their car say no. Come home, tell somebody.
"Because in their day that was the danger. But now there's Facebook, there's all sorts. Now I could be in my room and I'm in more danger than I am outside at 11 o'clock at night on my own."

A superb first-half performance built the foundations for victory.
Adam Rooney converted a penalty before Niall McGinn doubled the lead seven minutes later.
Maikel Kieftenbeld pulled one back for Groningen but they never looked like recovering against Derek McInnes' impressive Dons.
The Pittodrie men now face Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad in the next round, with the first leg in Spain next Thursday.
The match was preceded by a minute's silence as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives on the Malaysian Airlines plane that crashed in Eastern Ukraine a week ago.
193 of the 298 passengers on board were Dutch and flags around the country have been flying at half mast.
Derek McInnes opted to leave the experienced Barry Robson on the bench, replacing him with Andrew Considine. That allowed Jonny Hayes to move into a more attacking role on the left.
Groningen boss Erwin van der Looi stuck with the same starting 11 that had drawn 0-0 in the first leg last week. The goal-less Pittodrie draw was viewed as a good result by both clubs, and the noises from the Dutch camp suggested they felt the tie was theirs before the second leg began.
How wrong they were.
The match got underway in the north east Dutch sunshine and green smoke billowing from smoke bombs in the home sections.
McGinn tried to make an early impression but his shot from the angle of the box was easily held by home keeper Sergio Padt.
Groningen threatened a minute later when Nick van der Velden's corner found Kappelhof whose looping header was nodded off the line by Hayes before Padt smothered at the feet of Rooney.
Reynolds handed the visiting 1,100 fans a nervy moment, losing the ball on the centre circle. Kostic was in on goal but couldn't finish beyond Langfield.
After weathering the early storm the Dons found themselves in front.
A wonderful Hayes run was illegally ended by Groningen's Brazilian defender Erik Botteghin and the Polish referee pointed straight to the spot.
Rooney drilled the penalty low to the keeper's right for a crucial away goal with his sixth of this European run.
A second arrived shortly after when Rooney found himself goal side before lobbing Padt, the ball bounced off the crossbar and McGinn was there to gobble up the rebound.
The goals were met with delight by the boisterous Dons fans up the other end of the Euroborg.
However, the arrears were halved two minutes before half-time.
Swedish midfielder Rasmus Lindgren crossed for Keiftenbeld to send a powerful header past Langfield.
That saw the Eredivisie side move up a gear after the break and Chery and Kostic looked particularly threatening, the former testing Langfield from long range on more than one occasion.
Substitute Michael de Leeuw went closest on the hour mark, but Langfield saved brilliantly to keep him out.
Groningen huffed and puffed throughout the second half but the Dons didn't have a single failure in their ranks.
They stemmed the tide whenever it came rampaging towards them with Russell Anderson, Mark Reynolds, Shaleum Logan and Considine a miserly back four.
The excellent Ryan Jack and Willo Flood provided watertight protection in front of them.
Jack almost sealed the victory but his late deflected effort went just wide.
The Dons saw it out and will make their way to San Sebastián and next week's first leg in good form and good heart.
The 25-year-old has agreed a two-year contract at the Madejski Stadium.
Mendes, who is Reading's third signing of the summer, scored nine goals in 24 league starts for Le Havre in 2015-16.
"He can play in a central role as a striker or in a wider forward position, so he gives us good options," Reading boss Jaap Stam told the club website.

The common riding season got under way in the Borders on Friday with the horses out in Hawick.
The 2017 Cornet Ali George and his Lass Katy Moffat led proceedings through the town.
Hawick is one of a number of Borders towns to hold such celebrations throughout the summer months.
They see a horseback group ride its way around the town's historic boundaries as part of the ceremony.
The company also said trading at its Next Directory online and catalogue operation had been difficult, due in part to poor stock availability.
Between 26 October and 24 December, sales at its High Street shops fell 0.5%, but rose 2% at the Directory arm.
Next, whose shares closed down 4.6%, lowered its full-year profit estimate.
The company, which has more than 500 stores, says it now expects annual pre-tax profits to be about £817m. This is at the lower end of its previous guidance issued in October, when it predicted profits of between £810m and £845m.
The retailer, which did not take part in some of the heavy discounting sales events at the end of last year, said in a statement: "We believe that the disappointing performance in the fourth quarter was mainly down to the unusually warm weather in November and December."
The statement also pointed to "mistakes and challenges" faced by the business. "Specifically, we believe that Next Directory's disappointing sales were compounded by poor stock availability from October onwards."
In addition, Next said that online retailing was becoming tougher as competition intensified.
Nevertheless, the company said full-price sales for the year-to-date were 3.7% ahead of last year, just below the bottom end of Next's previous guidance of a 4%-6% rise.
Analysts said the figures, the first winter trading update from one of the big retailers, suggested other High Street firms may have struggled.
Neil Saunders, from retail analysts Conlumino, tweeted: "Next's lacklustre results do not bode well for the rest of the High Street; warm weather was the main source of its woes."
Maureen Hinton from retail consultancy Verdict told the BBC that the results indicated a "very tough" market.
However, Phil Dorrell, a director at Retail Remedy, told the BBC that the figures were "pretty positive" for Next.
He told BBC 5 live that after other retailers have released their Christmas sales figures, the view could be: "Wow, Next did really well."
He expects Marks and Spencer to report a decline in sales for the Christmas period when it releases figures on Thursday.
Department store chain John Lewis will reveal how it fared over the festive period on Wednesday.
The claim made by Merlyn Rees in a newly discovered memo is at the centre of a legal case taken on behalf of 14 men interned in 1971.
But counsel for the government said that within weeks his assessment of their treatment was "modified" to having faced deep interrogation.
The group, known as the Hooded Men, allege they were subjected to five torture techniques sanctioned by the British state.
Surviving members are taking action in a bid to secure an independent and human rights-compliant investigation into their treatment.
Judgment was reserved following a four-day hearing in Belfast.
Proceedings have been issued against the chief constable, secretary of state and the Department of Justice.
The court heard that in 1977 Mr Rees, then home secretary, sent a letter to Prime Minister James Callaghan setting out his views on procedures deployed against the men.
In the memo he stated it was his view that "the decision to use methods of torture in Northern Ireland in 1971/72 was taken by ministers - in particular Lord Carrington, then secretary of state for defence".
The document, uncovered from the national archives in London, featured in an RTE documentary in 2014 and led to questions being raised at the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
However, Tony McGleenan QC argued on Friday that Mr Rees later amended his position.
"The suggestion that Lord Carrington authorised torture in 1971/72 is one that was properly corrected to suggest there was unauthorised interrogation in depth," he said.
The men were hooded and flown by helicopter to a secret location, later revealed as an Army camp at Ballykelly, County Derry.
During interrogation they were said to have been subjected to stress positions, white noise, sleep deprivation, and deprivation of food and water, along with alleged beatings.
One of the detainees said his treatment was so severe that he suffered hallucinations and prayed for death.
In 1978 the European Court of Human Rights held that the men suffered inhumane and degrading treatment that was not torture.
That finding, Mr McGleenan contended, helped to render the group's challenge unsustainable.
"There's no more authoritative organ on the topic than the European Court of Human Rights," he stressed.
The barrister also argued that the 1998 Human Rights Act has no retrospective powers - creating a "profound" obstacle for a case based on alleged treatment nearly two decades before it came into force.
Following closing submissions, Mr Justice Maguire pledged to consider all issues raised before giving judgment at a later stage.
Police are hoping to identify the men involved in the clashes ahead of and during England's Euro 2016 1-1 draw with Russia earlier this month.
The UK Football Policing Unit also urged people to hand in any photos or video of fighting in the French city.
Fourteen England fans were taken to hospital, two of whom remain there.
During the violent scenes, Russian fans attacked England supporters, throwing chairs and beer bottles.
One of them, Stewart Gray, 47, from Leicester, was found injured near the Rue Forte Notre Dame area on the afternoon of Saturday 11 June.
Police said he recently opened his eyes after being in a coma, but they have no footage showing how he came to be injured.
He was wearing a blue T-shirt and was part of a group of fans who had gathered in the city centre at about 2.30pm local tim), police added.
Detective Superintendent Andy Barnes said: "We are aware that there were people in the apartment above the incident who we would like to speak to as witnesses.
"They were seen to be taking video footage and this could be crucial evidence."
Andrew Bache, 51, from Portsmouth, suffered a cardiac arrest, extensive brain injuries and a lung infection after being set upon by Russians armed with iron bars.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC), said: "The violence in Marseille was highly organised and those involved appeared determined to carry out sustained attacks at a level of aggression I have not encountered in the past 10 years.
"We are very aware that this involved a small minority of English supporters.
"Investigations will continue and these fans could be subject to a football banning order on their return to the UK."
Earlier, Joe Pizarro, 34, from Kennington, south London, was given a five-year football banning order at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court.
Footage taken by French police during the fighting in Marseille appeared to show him throwing a missile.
DS Barnes said: "By acting quickly we have prevented this man from travelling back to France to cause more trouble.
"What's more, he will not be able to cause trouble at games in the UK either."
Six England fans, aged 20 to 41, received jail sentences ranging from one to three months in relation to disorder surrounding the England-Russia game.
After the clashes, French police blamed 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans for the violence.
As a result, 20 Russian fans were deported, and three were jailed for up to two years and banned from re-entering France for two years.
Russia was also hit with a fine and a suspended disqualification from the tournament. The team has since been eliminated after failing to win any of their three group games.
Ceferin, 48, beat Michael van Praag 42-13 in the poll to become the new head of European football's governing body.
Uefa and European clubs last month agreed changes to the Champions League, which critics said favour bigger clubs.
Slovenian Ceferin said his organisation should show the clubs "we are the ones who are the governing body".
Analysis: Why we need Leicester to shake up the Champions League too
Under the reforms announced last month, Europe's top four domestic leagues will be guaranteed four places each in the group stages of the Champions League from 2018-19.
The European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL), which represents the continent's 24 domestic football leagues, called on Uefa to scrap the proposals, claiming national leagues will suffer.
"It will be the first thing to deal with," said Ceferin, who succeeds Michel Platini following his resignation after being banned from all football activity last year.
"Uefa is a very good, strong organisation. It was without leadership for some time and that was a problem dealing with this.
"We have to speak and have dialogue with the clubs and I think it can be solved."
Ceferin, who has been the head of the Football Association of Slovenia since 2011, takes on the remainder of Platini's term of office, until 2019.
The lawyer said Financial Fair Play rules - introduced, in Uefa's words, to "improve the overall financial health of European club football" - should be enforced more strongly.
He added there was "a lot of work to do", citing match-fixing, security and safety, and racism as issues to address.
England's Football Association last week declared its support for Van Praag, who - unlike Ceferin - is a member of Uefa's executive committee.
The Scottish Football Association said it would vote for the Slovenian.
After the vote, FA chairman Greg Clarke said he was happy to work with Ceferin, and welcomed his clear mandate.
BBC Sports News correspondent Richard Conway:
"It is, by any measure, a meteoric rise to power.
"Aleksander Ceferin only took over as the boss of the Slovenian FA in 2011 but this election sees him become a key figure in European and world football.
"His first priority, he says, is to look at the recent changes to the Champions League structure and financial arrangements.
"This will be a thorny task. Europe's big clubs have negotiated extra cash and group stage slots in recent weeks, a coup which has prompted anger from many smaller nations and leagues.
"His clear mandate will help. So too will the fact he was backed by nations of all sizes with big guns such as Germany, Russia, France and Italy all part of the 42 votes he amassed."
Platini earlier said his "conscience is clear" as he spoke to European football's governing body for what is likely to be the last time.
World governing body Fifa gave the Frenchman permission to speak at the meeting in Athens.
The 61-year-old was last year banned from all football activity for breaching ethics rules over a £1.3m "disloyal payment" made to him in 2011 by then Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
"I am certain that I committed not the slightest fault," he said. "I am continuing to fight legally. Just simply know that my conscience is clear.
"You are going to continue this beautiful mission without me, for reasons that I do not wish to come back on."
Fifa's ethics committee handed down an initial eight-year ban to both Blatter and Platini, who have always denied wrongdoing.
The bans were later reduced to six years on appeal to Fifa, then four years in a further appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The issue is still under investigation by Swiss prosecutors.
All heart attack admissions and deaths between 2006 and 2010 were analysed.
Imperial College London researchers found 16% of those who died had been admitted to hospital in the previous 28 days. Some had warning signs like chest pain.
The British Heart Foundation has called the research "concerning".
The study authors from the School of Public Health at Imperial College say more research is "urgently needed".
Alison Fillingham, 49, was at work when she felt a deep ache in her neck and collarbone. She continued her rounds as a homecare nurse before phoning a colleague to ask for advice when the pain didn't go away.
An ambulance was called and a panic attack was diagnosed. But blood tests later in hospital showed that Alison had had a heart attack.
"I've been a nurse for 24 years but I didn't think it was anything to do with my heart. My symptoms were not typical. You expect central chest pain. You think of people clutching their chest but it wasn't like that at all."
And she says there was no urgency about the care she received from paramedics. "If my heart attack hadn't been picked up in hospital, the artery would have blocked completely and I wouldn't be here now."
Last year, Alison, from Lancashire, had coronary artery bypass surgery and is now feeling "fabulous" after taking a few months off before returning to work.
She says: "I was a healthy, active person. I was swimming, hiking and doing yoga three times a week - and now I'm running about again."
The research, published in the Lancet, looked at the hospital records of all 135,950 deaths in England due to heart attacks over the four-year period.
The records showed whether the person had been admitted to hospital in the previous four weeks and whether signs of a heart attack were recorded as the primary reason for the hospital admission, a secondary reason or not recorded at all.
The data showed 21,677 of the patients had no mention of heart attack symptoms in their hospital records.
Lead author Dr Perviz Asaria said: "Doctors are very good at treating heart attacks when they are the main cause of admission, but we don't do very well treating secondary heart attacks or at picking up subtle signs which might point to a heart attack death in the near future."
Although the chest pain is often severe, some people may only experience minor pain, similar to indigestion. In some cases, there may not be any chest pain at all, especially in women, elderly people and people with diabetes.

The report authors say symptoms, such as fainting, shortness of breath and chest pain, were apparent up to a month before death in some patients.
But they point out doctors may not have been alert to the possibility that these signalled an approaching fatal heart attack because there was no obvious damage to the heart at the time.
Prof Majid Ezzati, who also worked on the study, said: "We cannot yet say why these signs are being missed, which is why more detailed research must be conducted to make recommendations for change.
"This might include updated guidance for healthcare professionals, changes in clinical culture, or allowing doctors more time to examine patients and look at their previous records."
Prof Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study shows that large numbers of people who die of a heart attack have visited hospital in the month before, but have not been diagnosed with heart disease.
"This failure to detect warning signs is concerning and these results should prompt doctors to be more vigilant, reducing the chance that symptoms are missed, ultimately saving more lives."
A spokesman for the Royal College of Physicians said: "The treatment of heart attacks is one of the success stories of modern medicine but this paper is an important reminder that there are still areas where we can improve care.
"While many heart attacks present with classical pain in the chest in people who smoke and have other risk factors for heart disease, many heart attacks don't present this way and in people not obviously at high risk.
"The challenge is to accurately and speedily diagnose all these patients so that they can be offered best care. Education of the public, of GPs, paramedics and Emergency Department doctors is essential if we are to improve even further the care we offer to patients having a heart attack." | Blackpool Pleasure Beach has banned picnics from being consumed inside the 42-acre attraction.

The US removed 10 state-owned companies in the banking, timber and mining industries from the blacklist.
However, most restrictions on trade and investment with Myanmar's still-powerful army remained in place.
This year Myanmar, also known as Burma, swore in its first democratically-elected government in over 50 years.
Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest, won a landslide victory in what was considered a largely free and fair election in November. Although the constitution bars her from becoming president, she still wields considerable influence.
Analysis - Jonah Fisher, BBC News, Myanmar
There's no doubt that this nuanced easing of sanctions has been done with the approval of Aung San Suu Kyi.
Most of the restrictions that affect her new government directly have been lifted. So 10 state-owned companies and banks have been taken off the targeted sanctions list. It's also been made easier for Americans to live and work inside Myanmar.
But despite November's election and the smooth transfer of power that followed there's no reward here for the Burmese military. Army companies and dozens of individuals who've made millions from military contracts are still sanctioned. One of the so-called "cronies" has even had measures against him expanded.
US President Barack Obama was quick to visit Myanmar but at the urging of Ms Suu Kyi has been more cautious on the lifting of trade and travel restrictions.
The US said its latest move is aimed at improving trade with Myanmar and allowing more financial transactions to take place.
But the Obama administration is also trying to maintain pressure on the government to continue its democratic transition.
More than 100 individuals and companies are still on Washington's sanctions list, meaning US firms are barred from doing deals with them. The country's military retains significant stakes in many of Myanmar's businesses.
US officials also remain concerned about potential human rights abuses in the country, particularly against the minority Rohingya Muslims.
2010 - After decades of being an international pariah Myanmar holds its first elections in 20 years.
The main military-backed party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), claims resounding victory but opposition groups allege widespread fraud. The junta says the election marks the transition from military rule to a civilian democracy.
2011 - Thein Sein is sworn in as president of a new, nominally civilian government and that year the US begins loosening sanctions.
2012 - The European Union suspends all non-military sanctions against Burma for a year.
2013 - President Thein Sein visits Washington. President Obama praises Myanmar's political and economic progress, but criticises violence against Rohingya Muslims.
2015 - A draft ceasefire agreement is signed between the government and 16 rebel groups.
2016 - Htin Kyaw sworn in as president, ushering in a new era as Aung San Suu Kyi's democracy movement takes power after 50 years of military domination. | The US has lifted more of its economic sanctions on Myanmar to signal its support for ongoing political reform after decades of military rule. | 36,319,142 | 665 | 26 | false |

The 29-year-old Manchester United striker's penalty in the 2-0 win over Switzerland in a Euro 2016 qualifier took his tally to 50 goals.
"It's a great feeling," he said. "I've been close for the last few games and it's a dream come true.
"I've got a lot of football in me for England. I hope the goals don't stop."
The spot-kick was awarded late in the game when Raheem Sterling was fouled in the area by Granit Xhaka.
Rooney, who scored his first England goal against Macedonia in 2003, told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a very special night for me and my family. A night I will never forget.

"I was very nervous stepping up to take the penalty. I knew it was such a big moment for me and my career. The players said to me afterwards it was like being at a concert because there were so many flashes from phones in the crowd.
"It's a huge honour because Sir Bobby Charlton is an England and Manchester United legend. I know Sir Bobby will be extremely proud that a Manchester United captain has broken the record."
The striker was handed a commemorative England shirt by boss Roy Hodgson in the dressing room after the match, and made a speech in front of his colleagues.
"Nights like this you don't forget," he added. "When you create a bit of history it's a great feeling. It was really nice of the players and the manager to present me with a shirt afterwards."
Listen to BBC Radio 5 live's exclusive interview with Wayne Rooney
England coach Roy Hodgson praised Rooney's achievement, and said the former Everton forward could possibly reach a tally of 65 goals.
"You would like to think we are on about 10 games a year and maybe if we ever did very well in a tournament a bit more - that is at least to 2018," he said.
"So you are talking 20, maybe even 30 games, so it could be like 10 to 15 goals.
"I know he is really delighted. He will tell you what a proud moment it is for him and his family. I also know, as a team man, he will be thinking 'how can I help England become a better team?', 'can I make certain - like Bobby Charlton - I end up as a winner in a tournament or help England do very well?'
"You can't do much better than be number one in the goalscoring list, but I still want to say a word for Bobby Charlton. He is obviously a legend and one of the finest players I ever saw and I don't think we will diminish or debase Bobby's legendary status.
"With him and Wayne Rooney we are talking about two of the finest football players in England and I'm lucky enough to have one still playing and that I can use him."

Hodgson handed Rooney the captaincy in August 2014, and the coach said the striker had repaid his faith in him.
"His maturity has impressed me, the way he has accepted the captaincy," he continued.
"I don't think it has surprised me because I gave him the captaincy. I believed in him and trusted him and I'm really pleased with the way he has taken on the extra burden.
"The other thing that impresses me is his constant passion and enthusiasm in every training session, meetings and in games. He's not thinking 'I've got 50 goals, I'm a legend'. He is still out there working as hard as a young 19-year-old, who is playing his first game in the team.
"The FA made a presentation of a shirt with a number 50 on and the players greeted him with great delight and when the shirt was given to him I provoked him into giving a speech.
"It was a very good speech, but fairly short. But the one thing I can tell you, and what struck me, was how proud he was to achieve that and how determined he is not to stop at 50 goals."

The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate (HEI) made unannounced visits to Monklands Hospital on 16 and 17 March.
Inspectors praised staff for infection control procedures but found evidence of some dirty patient equipment and outstanding maintenance work.
NHS Lanarkshire said it had taken steps to comply with the four recommendations made by the HEI team.
Claire Sweeney, interim director of Quality Assurance for Healthcare Improvement Scotland, said the inspection had covered wards and theatre departments at Monklands.
"We found that staff demonstrated good knowledge of standard infection control precautions and were generally complying with hand hygiene practice," she said.
"In addition, we found that theatre department renovation works were being well managed.
"We also identified a number of areas for improvement however. For example, NHS Lanarkshire must ensure that the environment and all patient equipment is safe and clean."
The HEI inspection report found evidence in ward four of dust on patient scales and boxes storing needles, contaminated blood glucose monitors and commodes and intravenous lines with "splash marks and sticky residue".
Inspectors also noted: "We found that the general environment in many of the areas inspected had outstanding works such as damaged walls and doors, exposed and damaged woodwork, and exposed and protruding pipe work.
"This means that these surfaces cannot be cleaned effectively.
"Staff told us that this pipe work had been reported to the estates department over one year ago and that staff had scraped their leg on the pipe work. Staff also told us that the advice they had been given by the estates department was to cover the pipe with a dressing to stop staff injuring themselves."
Calum Campbell, chief executive of NHS Lanarkshire, said he was pleased that the report had acknowledged the efforts of staff and the health board had a "detailed action plan" in place to address the issues raised.
"I can give an assurance that they have either already been resolved or are in the process of being completed," he said.
"We will continually monitor progress to ensure we strive for the highest standards of cleanliness and infection control at Monklands."
Emer Shepherd, head of infection prevention and control at NHS Lanarkshire, added: "Inspectors commented that the majority of wards at Monklands were clean and the majority of staff demonstrated good working knowledge of infection control policies.
"Inspectors also reported from their observations and from talking to our patients and visitors that staff routinely wash their hands.
"This is positive feedback to note and tells us that our staff are committed to the highest standards of patient care." | Health inspectors have found failings in cleanliness and general repairs and maintenance at a Lanarkshire hospital. | 36,416,594 | 558 | 23 | false |
The 300m (984ft) long attraction will be built on the former site of the Brighton Wheel, which closed in May.
It will cost £1.7m to build, and have a 22m (72ft) high starting tower with two cables. It is expected to attract about 32,000 visitors a year.
A cafe seating up to 140 people, with an open glass-fronted terrace, was approved as part of the application.
A landing area shaped like the hull of a boat will be on the beach opposite Lower Rock Gardens and Atlingworth Street.
More news from Sussex
The attraction will be open year round between 10:00 and 23:00.
The equivalent of just over 30 full-time jobs will be created by the investment, the council said.
Local residents had opposed the plans, saying "excessive screaming" from thrill-seeking customers using the wire would be intolerable.
One opponent, Trevor Scoble, said its purpose was "to excite people, to make them scream".
Councillor Julie Cattell, planning committee chair, said: "This fits well with the council strategy to bring new life to the seafront, particularly to the section between the pier and the marina.
"This should complement other businesses in the area, such as the pier and the Volks Railway, without affecting people's enjoyment of the beach."

Coverage is set to reach 95% by 2019, North Yorkshire County Council said.
Council leader, Carl Les, said: "Trying to deliver any service across 3,000 sq miles is always going to be a challenge."
Now some local community projects are delivering broadband via fibre-optic cable after raising their own funds.
Mr Les said: "We thought [100% coverage] was a realistic expectation but with the benefit of experience we're now realising that it's perhaps that little bit more difficult than we thought at first."
He said broadband had been delivered to over 90% of locations within "a relatively short time" but he understood those left out would be "very disappointed".
High-quality broadband with a minimum speed of 25Mbps will cover 91% of North Yorkshire premises by June at a cost of about £35 million, the council said.
Funding of £21m has been agreed by the council for the third and final phase to reach 95% of premises.
Simon Peach, led a community scheme in Clapham cum Newby to raise about £250,000 to provide broadband for everyone in the parish.
He said about 20 miles (32km) of fibre optic cable had connected about 100 houses and delivered broadband speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps, but it required volunteers to negotiate land access to complete the project.
He said: "We did the right thing absolutely. It is frustrating because those of us who live in rural properties are last in the queue."
In a statement, the parents of Eilidh MacLeod said: "Words cannot express how we feel at losing our darling Eilidh."
Eilidh was one of two teenagers from Barra who were reported missing in the aftermath of the attack.
Her friend Laura MacIntyre, 15, is in hospital with serious injuries.
It is also believed a father-of-two from South Lanarkshire is among the seriously injured.
Prayers have been said for Piotr Chylewska at his parish church, St Bride's RC Church in Cambuslang.
Eilidh and Laura, pupils at Castlebay Community School, were among thousands of people who had attended a show by US singer Ariana Grande.
Eilidh's parents said: "Our family is devastated and words cannot express how we feel at losing our darling Eilidh.
"Eilidh was vivacious and full of fun. She loved all music whether it was listening to Ariana or playing the bagpipes with her pipe band.
"As a family we would like to express our thanks and gratitude for the support and kind messages we have received at this difficult time."
A minute's silence was held at 11:00 across Scotland to remember the victims of the attack.
A crowdfunding page set up to help the girls' families, originally set at £2,000, has raised more than £26,000.
The girls were accompanied on their trip to Manchester by family members. Their parents flew to the city following the attack.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament that support would be in place on Barra for anyone who needs it, and for as long as it is needed.
Ms Sturgeon said the death of Eilidh and the "horrific" injuries suffered by Laura would be felt in a way that was "much, much more intense" in the close-knit island community.
She said Scottish government officials had contacted Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - Western Isles Council - to see what further assistance they could offer.
The council's education director, who is an educational psychologist, is already on Barra, and will be joined later on Thursday by a further educational psychologist and an NHS clinical psychologist.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Between them they are going to be focusing on the support that the families and those who were closest to these two girls will need.
"Their aim will be to keep things as normal as possible for the school that the girls attended, but to make sure that there is the support in place for young people who are going to need it."
The first minister also pledged that support would be available "not just today, next week or next month, but for as long as it is needed".
And she expressed her "anger and disbelief" at leaks to the media in the US of sensitive intelligence about the Manchester attack investigation, which Ms Sturgeon said was "completely unacceptable and cannot be defended".
The BBC understands that police investigating the attack have stopped sharing information with the US in order to prevent further leaks.
Other party leaders also paid their respects to the victims of the attack during the subdued session of first minister's questions.
Police Scotland, which has sent extra officers to Barra, said at least 41 people from Scotland were at the Manchester Arena during the suicide attack.
Troops have been deployed at Ministry of Defence and civil nuclear sites across Scotland to free up armed officers after the UK's terror threat level was raised to critical.
But Chief Constable Phil Gormley said there was currently "no foreseeable prospect" of Police Scotland asking for soldiers to publicly patrol in Scotland, as they are doing in some areas of England.
Mr Gormley said security arrangements around upcoming events such as the Scottish Cup Final, the visit to Scotland of former US president Barack Obama, the Edinburgh Marathon and the Lisbon Lions memorial events in Glasgow had been reviewed to ensure they were "fit for purpose".
But he said he was confident the force had "sufficient firearms capability to meet all foreseeable threats and demands going forward".
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar confirmed that additional support had already been made available to staff and pupils at Castlebay Community School, where the girls were pupils.
A comhairle spokesman said; "We are continuing to closely monitor events. We are mindful of the impact on pupils and staff at the school and are providing all necessary support."
On Wednesday the head teacher at the school, Annag Maclean, said staff and pupils were "in shock, feeling numb and struggling to come to terms" with a "violent attack targeted at young people". She said all their thoughts were with Laura and Eilidh and their families.
The local authority said it was also having discussions with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) regarding the exceptional circumstances for pupils sitting exams in the coming week.
The Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, Bishop Brian McGee, has travelled to Barra to visit the school and to offer support to Laura and Eilidh's families.
The Church of Scotland's Rev Dr Lindsay Schluter, minister for Barra and South Uist congregations, has also offered support.
It seemed as if the glamorous age of superfast aviation was here to stay.
But Concorde was costly, noisy and thirsty on fuel, and was withdrawn from service in 2003, some 36 years after the first prototype rolled out of the hangar.
So will supersonic passenger flight ever make a comeback?
The sad truth for speed freaks is that reducing carbon dioxide emissions, rather than increasing speed, has become the new imperative for the aviation industry amid widespread concerns about global warming.
This means most of the innovation is happening in the fields of engine efficiency, aerodynamics and cabin comfort.
Modern passenger jets are very different beasts compared to their forebears, despite their basic shapes remaining remarkably similar.
They now feature much more sophisticated avionics, lightweight composite materials, and engines that are 90 times more powerful than their 1940s predecessors, yet 70% more fuel-efficient.
They are also a lot safer.
Manufacturers, such as Rolls-Royce, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, believe there's plenty more efficiency to be squeezed out of the turbofan jet engine over the coming decades.
Tomorrow's Transport is a series exploring innovation in all forms of future mobility.
"Our new Advanced engines coming in 2020 will incorporate carbon fibre blades with a titanium edge to counter the increased weight of the bigger engines," says Alan Newby, Rolls-Royce's chief engineer, future programmes and technology.
Engines are getting bigger to allow more air to flow through but at slower speeds, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise, says Mr Newby.
New materials, such as "ceramic matrix composites" and "single crystal turbine alloys", will allow engines to run at higher temperatures - in excess of 2,200C (4,000F) in some cases - which also improves efficiency.
"Subsonic [under 761mph] is definitely going to be with us for a long, long time, because a driver of the future is the impact on the environment," says Prof Jeff Jupp, fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Airlines, like car manufacturers, are also looking towards hybrid engines as a way of reducing emissions.
"In the future, there is the possibility of electric propulsion, with a gas-powered engine driving the generator to create electricity," says Prof Jupp. "Batteries would be included as a back-up for the turbofans."
In 2014, Airbus showed off an all-electric E-Fan training plane, but large-scale electric passenger planes are unlikely unless batteries can be made a lot lighter, experts believe.
Such hybrid engines distributed across new aerodynamic body shapes, such as the "blended" or "flying" wing, could improve fuel efficiency even further, says Prof Jupp.
Boeing, Nasa and others have been experimenting with blended wing concepts, which can reduce a plane's total surface area by 25% to reduce drag and save fuel.
They are not without problems, however - the lack of tail fin makes them inherently less stable - but fly-by-wire computers could help iron this out, engineers believe.
Perhaps the most radical innovation in aviation, though, is happening inside the cabin.
For example, Spike Aerospace has talked about getting rid of windows completely and replacing them with digital screens relaying camera images of the view outside or any other media the passenger wants.
Removing windows would reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve aerodynamics, the company believes.
And the general trend is towards wireless connectivity and interactive displays, says Jared Shoemaker of BAE Systems, although this will present extra security challenges.
"Traditionally, cabins have been closed worlds not connected to anything outside," says Mr Shoemaker, director of cabin systems.
"But now it's all about connectivity and interacting with the crew and other passengers through personal devices."
Removing heavy wires will save weight and allow for more innovative cabin layouts, argues Anthony Harcup of Acumen Design Associates, the company behind the Airbus A380's interior.
"The next big revolution will be creating true comfort in economy," he says.
New smart materials will allow passengers to take complete control of their environments, setting lighting and heating levels, for example, while seats will mould themselves to your body shape, he believes.
Airbus even envisages aircraft skin that can become transparent, allowing passengers to see outside.
"In 20 years the jet will look remarkably similar but the passenger experience will be completely different," says Mr Shoemaker.
"Flexible displays and projections will make you feel you're not walking into a tube, but a much softer, bigger space. Whatever you can do in your living room you'll be able to do on a plane."
Not everyone has given up on the dream of supersonic flight, however.
Some companies, such as Spike Aerospace, Aerion Corporation and Hypermach, have said they're developing supersonic jets aimed at the business market.
But to date, none has taken to the skies.
The problem with travelling much faster than the speed of sound is that air friction can increase surface temperatures to well over 1,000C (1,830F), putting huge strains on aircraft materials. Shockwaves are also an issue.
And travelling at such speeds uses a lot more fuel and creates a lot more noise, which is why supersonic flight is banned over populated areas.
But if supersonic flight seems less of a priority these days, the prospects for hypersonic (more than five times the speed of sound) seem vanishingly small.
"Realistically we're not going to see the first hypersonic passenger plane for another 20 years," says Alan Bond, chief executive of Reaction Engines, whose company specialises in hydrogen-fuelled rocket engines.
Easy access to space may happen sooner than that, he believes.
Nasa has demonstrated the feasibility of air-breathing scramjet [supersonic combustion ramjet] engines capable of hypersonic speeds.
In 2009, its unmanned X-43A jet blasted to nearly Mach 10. And in 2010, the X-51A maintained a speed of more than Mach 5 for more than 200 seconds.
But designing a craft that can survive such speeds and temperature extremes for any length of time is proving extremely difficult.
Reaction Engines' Sabre rocket, which can switch from air-breathing mode to one that uses liquid oxygen to burn hydrogen at very high speeds and altitudes, has been given the thumbs up by the European Space Agency.
"We're working towards a demonstration Sabre engine by 2019," says Mr Bond.
But development will require hundreds of millions of pounds, he believes, and passenger aircraft powered by such engines would have to have huge fuel tanks, since hydrogen is a very low-density gas.
"Supersonic travel is possible but the jury is out on hypersonic travel - the costs are just too high," says Prof Jupp.
"Some people may be prepared to pay an exorbitant amount for the tickets, but it is likely to be a very niche market."
The 21-year-old, who can play centrally or at right-back, joined the Gunners from Southampton for £16m in 2014.
He quickly became a first-team regular for Arsenal, and won three senior caps for England, but he only featured 12 times in last season's Premier League.
Chambers' Arsenal and England team-mate Jack Wilshere could also be going out on loan this week.
Head coach Aitor Karanka said Chambers had rejected an offer from another club to join Boro.
Chambers is Boro's 11th signing this summer, with the Premier League club bringing in goalkeeper Victor Valdes, striker Alvaro Negredo and midfielder Marten de Roon among others.
The Gunners signed Deportivo La Coruna forward Lucas Perez for £17.1m and Valencia's Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi, for a fee in excess of £35m, on Tuesday.
His corporate jet collided with a snow plough and was then engulfed in flames. All four people on board were killed.
The driver of the snow plough was drunk, according to Russian investigators.
Mr de Margerie, 63, had been chief executive of Europe's third largest oil company since 2007. He was highly regarded within the oil industry.
A statement from the office of French President Francois Hollande said: "Christophe de Margerie dedicated his life to French industry and to building up the Total group. He made it into one of the very top global companies
"Francois Hollande cherished Christophe de Margerie's independent character, original personality and his devotion to his country."
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his condolences.
News agency Tass quoted a Kremlin spokesman as saying: "The President highly appreciated de Mergerie's business skills, his continued commitment to the development of not only bilateral Russian-French relations, but also on multi-faceted levels."
Analysis: Andrew Walker, Economics correspondent, BBC World Service
Christophe de Margerie leaves a large gap to be filled. He was a hugely influential figure in the global energy industry and a colourful and instantly recognisable character.
For colleagues as well as family, there's no question that it's a huge loss. But already the markets appear to think the company will cope. The board is seen as strong and a wobble in the share price seems to have been no more than that.
It is significant that Mr de Margerie was in Moscow. He took the view that the energy industry needed to go to difficult places. Russia is a prime example. A Total project there - a joint venture with Russia's Lukoil to explore for shale oil - has come to a halt due to Western sanctions.
Mr de Margerie joined Total Group after graduating from the Ecole Superieure de Commerce in Paris in 1974.
At the company, where he had spent his entire career, he was nicknamed "Big Moustache".
John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil, told the BBC: "It's a huge loss to the industry and its future focus.
"What he has done for Total in repositioning the company to return to integrity and sound operations is deeply respected and highly regarded."
According to Russia's Vedomosti newspaper, Mr de Margerie had met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at his country residence outside Moscow to discuss foreign investment in Russia.
Total is an important player in the Russian energy market and Mr de Margerie was a staunch defender of maintaining ties, despite Western sanctions against Moscow over its actions in Ukraine.
Total is one of the biggest foreign investors in Russia and is planning to double its output from the country by 2020.
It is working on the Yamal project, a $27bn joint venture to extract natural gas in north-west Siberia.
During his time at the helm of Total Mr de Margerie successfully defended the company against allegations of corruption around the UN oil-for-food programme in Iraq.
He maintained the company's investments in Burma and Iran despite US sanctions against those countries.
Shares in Total were down sharply at the open, but have since recovered.
Mr de Margerie's jet had been due to fly to Paris from Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport.
Vnukovo, is located to the southwest of Moscow and is used by President Vladimir Putin and other government officials.
Russia's emergencies ministry said in a statement the accident had involved a Falcon-50 plane shortly before midnight local time (20:00 GMT) on Monday.
"Among the chief versions for what happened, investigators are looking at a mistake by the air traffic controllers and the actions of the driver of the snow plough. Apart from that, they will also check the versions of poor weather conditions and mistake by the crew," said Russia's Investigative Committee, a federal agency that answers to President Putin.
"At the current time, it has already been established that the driver of the snow plough was drunk."
Pictures from the scene show the driver looking shocked, but walking unaided and without any obvious serious injury.
Reports say the visibility at the airport was 350m (1,150ft).
Total did not have a succession plan in place for Mr de Margerie, but in July he said that a replacement would come from inside the company.
The company plans to hold a board meeting as soon as possible.
Philippe Boisseau, in charge of Total's new energy division, which is developing renewable energy sources, has been mentioned as one possible successor.
Patrick Pouyanne, president of Total's refining and chemicals division, has also been named as a possible new boss.
The 22-year-old had a spell on loan in the National League at Southport last term, making four appearances.
"I'm glad I had that experience with Southport, so I know what to expect," he told the club website.

Britain is the first country to improve on a home medal haul at the next Games, their 67 beating 65 from London 2012.
Some team members had returned home already, but 320 athletes and support staff were on British Airways flight BA2016, which landed at Heathrow.
The Boeing 747 had a gold nose cone and a "victoRIOus" livery.
"I have only been here in the country a couple of hours and it's amazing the number of people who have come here to welcome us," said swimmer Adam Peaty, 21, who won Britain's first Rio gold medal with a world record in the men's 100m breaststroke.
The plane carried back poles for the pole vault, bicycles, javelins and a 6.7-metre sail, while 77 bottles of champagne and a three-course menu were on offer.
Max Whitlock, who won two individual gold medals in the men's gymnastics, and Nicola Adams, who retained her women's flyweight title, were the first two athletes off the plane.
"Wow, that reception was crazy. Thank you Great Britain and everyone else for all your support," British diver Jack Laugher, who won gold and silver in Rio, wrote on Twitter.
BBC News reporter Daniela Relph was at Heathrow and said she could see "layers and layers of people on all the floors of Terminal five leaning over barriers... to welcome Team GB home".
A total of 67 medals, with 27 golds, put Team GB second in the medal table - above China for the first time since the latter returned to the Games in 1984.
They won gold medals across more sports than any other nation - 15 - and improved on their medal haul for the fifth consecutive Olympics.
Sprinter Dina Asher-Smith won bronze in the 4x100m relay in her first Olympics.
"It was really cool," the 20-year-old said. "The strangest thing for me as a first-time Olympian I haven't been in this kind of environment before - something so big and something which makes the nation so proud.
"The cabin crew were 'well done, well done'. We don't realise how much of an effect it has on people back home and getting on the plane was the first part of realising we have done the nation proud and that was amazing."

Kat Driscoll, who came sixth in the women's trampoline, added: "It's been incredible.
"They played the national anthem before we left. We all got a glass of champagne. It's been a nice celebration.
"Everyone's really glad to be back home but it's been a really nice way to end it."
Of the 366 athletes who went to the Rio Games for Team GB, 130 of them - just over 35% - returned with a medal, including every member of the 15-strong track cycling team.
Katherine Grainger, 40, became Britain's most decorated female Olympian by taking silver alongside Victoria Thornley in the double sculls in rowing.
"It felt like a very special team to be a part of and as the medals start rolling in there is an immense sense of pride that is infectious and everyone wants to add to that," said Grainger.
The United States topped the medal table with 121 medals and 46 golds.
"To topple the Americans might be a long shot," said Bill Sweeney, chief executive of the British Olympic Association, when asked if the US could be caught.
"It [Rio 2016] has been amazing and incredible and one of those unbelievable moments in life.
"The platform has been set for continued success.
"Tokyo will be tougher that it was in Rio. The competition will be intense but then we have a very talented team."
Sally Gunnell, Olympic gold medallist in the 400m hurdles in 1992, told BBC News that the prospect of leading a successful team home can be a motivational factor for athletes for Tokyo 2020.
"What inspires you to carry on is that you want to be that person at the front," she said.
"You are aiming for four years and thinking, 'I want to be at the front next time'. It is lovely to see the excitement of the whole team."
Manchester and London will host events to recognise the success of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
BBC News reporter Dominic Howell:
"You've done us proud" and "we love you" were just some of the messages of support shouted by a 100-strong crowd at Heathrow as they welcomed home Team GB.
Adults, children and press cameras congregated outside the airport's Cafe Nero for more than an hour in an effort to catch a glimpse of their favourite athlete. Even the police seemed in high spirits and were spotted handing out flags, while air hostesses joined the excitement to take pictures on their phones.
Arguably the largest delegation had come from Wapping Hockey Club and as the athletes began to arrive, passersby quickly gathered round to wave and cheer before dashing off to catch flights.
Crawley couple Trevor and Lynn Bowman stopped by to watch the jubilant scenes just before they jetted off to New York to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary.
"I'm as proud as punch," said Trevor. "When you consider we're just a small island they've done phenomenally well."

Huang Jiefu said China would now rely on using organs from voluntary donors under a new national donation system.
Prisoners used to account for two-thirds of transplant organs, based on previous estimates from state media.
For years, China denied that it used organs from executed prisoners, but admitted it a few years ago.
Official figures from China's newly formed health and planning commission show that, on an annual basis, there are on average 300,000 patients who need organ transplants, but only 10,000 of them are able to get them, state media said.
By Michael BristowBBC News
In just a few years, China has moved from denying to admitting and now phasing out the macabre practise of harvesting organs from executed prisoners.
In the first few years of the century, officials were still refusing to confirm reports that they used organs taken from convicted criminals for transplant operations.
But in 2006, an undercover BBC team revealed that prisoners' organs were being sold to wealthy foreign patients. China then began admitting it was, after all, using the organs. It still is. According to figures supplied to Reuters news agency, more than half of transplants carried out this year used organs from executed prisoners.
The argument put forward by the authorities has been that these convicts were giving something back to society, although it is not clear how many prisoners gave their consent freely. China now seems to have bowed to global pressure to stop a practise many saw as unacceptable.
Mr Huang, who is in charge of organ transplants and one of the country's leading surgeons, said the health ministry would start using organs from voluntary citizen donors in November.
More than 150 Chinese hospitals are expected to to confirm their participation, he added.
"I am confident that before long, all accredited hospitals will forfeit the use of prisoner organs," he told Reuters news agency on Thursday.
He also told the state-run Global Times that it was time for China to establish a "suitable organ donation system".
Human rights groups estimate that China executes thousands of prisoners a year, but correspondents say that the official figures remain a state secret.
In March last year, Mr Huang announced China's pledge to end the practice of taking organs from executed prisoners within the next five years.
At the time, he said that organ donations from prisoners were not ideal because infections are usually high, affecting the long-term survival rates of those who undergo the transplants.
The left- and right-wing blocs, each a collection of five parties struggling for attention, are running head-to-head in one of the closest races in recent memories. And voters will find no large policy differences on which to base a decision.
Foreign policy is rarely mentioned in this election.
Instead, the agenda is a familiar one:
The welfare-benefits debate started rolling when the right-wing bloc's leader and former Prime Minister, Venstre's Lars Lokke Rasmussen, held his first campaign press conference.
In an attempt to provide a vivid example of welfare benefits disincentivising work, Mr Rasmussen told a story of the owner of a small company, Panorama, who had seen an employee quit because the extra income gained by working was too little.
Mr Rasmussen, his reputation previously tarnished by expenses scandals, was unable to guarantee the veracity of the story, and the former employee was nowhere to be found.
When the small business owner came forward to back Mr Rasmussen's story, the damage was done, and it was later revealed that he was a salaried campaigner for Venstre.
In the ensuing debate, myriad statistics about unemployment, benefits, salaries and technical details of the Danish social system pervaded the campaign coverage.
Parties, unions, industry organisations, non-governmental organisations and economists produced their own numbers, each arguing that the others were manipulating, lying or misinforming.
To most Danes, unfamiliar with the intricacies of Denmark's complex welfare benefits system, the debate will have seemed technocratic.
To the right-wing bloc, it was a disaster. The first week of the campaign saw a solid lead in the polls, which had persisted for more than three years, vanish in the course of a week.
The campaign agenda then turned to refugee and immigration policy, an electorally salient issue since the late 1990s.
Ever since then, refugee and immigration policy has been a sore spot for the Social Democrats. Once the singular dominant party in Danish politics, the Social Democrats have seen hundreds of thousands of voters abandon them for the Danish People's Party, founded in 1995 on popular disaffection with an immigration policy seen as too lax.
Today, about one in five Danish voters opt for the Danish People's Party. The Social Democrats have belatedly reacted by shifting to the right.
To the consternation of many left-wing voters, the Social Democrat Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt regularly touts the new restrictions on asylum seekers her government has put in place.
Nevertheless, the agenda shifting from welfare benefits to refugee and immigration policy has benefited the right-wing bloc, seen by voters as more credibly committed to a restrictive position.
The right-wing bloc points to a large increase in refugee flows during the past four years as evidence of the current government's leniency. But this criticism ignores the impact of the Syrian crisis on refugee flows to all European countries.
Though the ballot will feature no fewer than 10 parties, the election is typically framed in presidential terms as a choice between the former Prime Minister, Mr Rasmussen, and the current Prime Minister, Ms Thorning-Schmidt.
Perhaps due to frustration with this binary choice, the similarity of the domestic policy agendas, and the technocratic nature of the debate, voters have turned their attention away from established parties with government experience and towards newer, ideologically purer alternatives.
The best examples of such alternatives are the self-declared green party, Alternativet, literally meaning "the Alternative", and the libertarian, right-wing party Liberal Alliance. Both appeal to younger voters in particular.
Together with the right-wing populist Danish People's Party and the Red-Green Alliance to the left, they suggest that the Danes are hungry for more ideologically distinct politics.
Opinion polls suggest the current election will result in the lowest level of support for parties with government experience since 1973.
The EU popped up at about the halfway point of the campaign.
Partly in response to rising euroscepticism among right-wing voters, the right-wing bloc promised to work for an alliance with the UK government on EU matters.
In the 2014 European Parliament elections, the eurosceptic Danish People's Party's charismatic MEP Morten Messerschmidt personally received no less than 20% of the vote.
There are precedents. In 2011, during the last right-wing government, the Danish People's Party managed to convince the governing parties to introduce a highly controversial border control, which prompted a heated response from Berlin and Brussels.
The Danish government had to backtrack and insist that the proposed initiatives would not violate the Schengen agreement, before realising that the border control was incompatible with a free-movement zone.
Should Denmark elect a right-wing government, the country's EU policy is indeed likely to be influenced by the Danish People's Party's euroscepticism.
This could make Denmark a possible ally in British negotiations on limiting EU cross-border welfare rights and the removal of the "ever closer union" phrase in the EU treaty, though many other member states will be critical of such demands, finding them destructive rather than pragmatic.
But the willingness to rethink Danish EU policy may be the biggest difference between right and left, as the dominant political agendas look very much the same.
The Danish election is thus best described as a close race for the status quo.

The listed building on Roseangle has been empty since a fire in 1998. The council had previously imposed a repair notice as it is in a conservation area.
However, the authority said no work had been done at the 1830s building since.
Councillors on the city development committee will be asked to approve the purchase order on Monday.
Committee convener Will Dawson said: "This is another significant step in a long process, during which we believe we have given the owner of this property every chance to carry out the repairs needed.
"It is category C listed after Historic Scotland recognised its significance in 1989, and is in the heart of the West End Lands Conservation area.
"The prominent location and significant deterioration of the building over the past few years have raised concerns not just with council officers but also among local people unhappy at the way it has been left.
"That situation is not sustainable so we are looking to take the building and its future under council control."
About 15,000 cyclists will descend on south Wales when Cardiff hosts Velothon Wales on Sunday.
The 140km (87m) race will also go through Newport, Torfaen, Monmouthshire and Caerphilly, with some roads shut.
Organisers said they contacted those affected so they could plan around it.
Anna Jones, of Usk Garden Centre, in Llanbadoc, told BBC Wales' Jason Mohammad programme she expected the business to lose about £10,000 because customers would not be able to get there.
"We've got to think about our future and the fact that our trade is 12 weeks of the year and to be closed on a Sunday is a disaster for us," she said.
"No one has sat us down around a table, looked for alternatives."
Carol Knight, wedding organiser at Glen Yr Afon Hotel in Usk, said a couple getting married at the venue had to get special permission from race organisers for the bridal car to travel to the hotel.
"It's caused an enormous amount of distress... it was thought they would have to cancel it [the wedding]."
"We [the hotel] would support anything that supports tourism in Wales, and we have no issue with this particular event, it was just landed on us in February and we weren't thought of."
David Evans, who lives in Talywain, Torfaen, said the road closures would leave him "marooned" and he had to cancel plans "because there's no way I can get out".
Speaking in the Senedd last week, First Minister Carwyn Jones said Velothon organisers should have spoken to residents and businesses earlier, but he was confident they were now informed of the consequences of the event.
But Steve Jenkins, chairman of Caerphilly Cycling Club, said many businesses would be benefit from the race.
"There's thousands of cyclist coming from across the country, and they have to eat, they have to sleep. There's going to be spectators going to the event; they'll be spending money along the route," he said.
Velothon Wales organisers said: "Over the past six months, we have engaged with hundreds of businesses and thousands of residents along the route to inform them of the event and the associated road closures so that they can plan around it."
The claim: The European Union would lose out more than the UK from the introduction of tariffs.
Reality Check verdict: The EU would risk more in cash terms. The UK would risk a higher proportion of its exports.
"Don't just look at it from a UK perspective," he said.
"The European Union has a massive surplus in goods with the UK. Who does it harm more if we end up in a new tariff environment?"
The EU does indeed have a trade surplus with the UK in goods, which means that EU countries sell more goods to the UK than they buy from us.
The UK economy, which is dominated by the service sector, has a trading surplus in services with the EU, which is not big enough to cancel out the deficit in goods.
But Dr Fox was talking about goods, not services.
In 2015, the UK trade figures show the UK exported £134bn worth of goods to the EU and imported £223bn worth.
The question Dr Fox asked was who it would harm more if there were tariffs introduced, which damaged that trade.
In cash terms, clearly the EU has more to lose. But in percentage terms the picture is different.
UK exports of goods to the EU in 2015 accounted for 47% of total goods exports. According to the NIESR, EU goods exports to the UK account for about 16% of its total exports of goods.
So if you're looking at whether the UK or the EU would risk a greater proportion of their trade from tariffs, clearly the UK would lose more.
There may be some impact on these figures from what's called the Rotterdam Effect, but it makes a relatively small difference, as we discussed in this Reality Check.
But of course the EU does not negotiate only as a bloc - it is made up of 27 other countries, some of which will be less concerned about UK trade than others and all of which will get to vote on the eventual deal.
The group unexpectedly announced on Wednesday that it would begin a truce for an unlimited time from Saturday.
The move has been welcomed by the UN and the European Union. However, Colombia's government said it would not join the rebels in the truce.
Hours ahead of the ceasefire, the army said Farc had killed five soldiers in an ambush. The rebels attacked a patrol in a rural area of western Colombia.
President Juan Manuel Santos described Farc's ceasefire declaration as a "gift... full of thorns".
He has rejected rebel calls for a bilateral truce, warning that this would give them the chance to re-arm.
He also condemned the ambush, saying the soldiers had died "defending the security of their fellow Colombians".
Representatives of Colombia's government and the Farc have been holding talks in the Cuban capital, Havana, for more than two years.
The talks were almost derailed in November after the Farc captured a Colombian general, Ruben Dario Alzate, prompting President Santos to suspend the negotiations.
The rebels released the general unharmed in an effort to revive the talks.
Earlier this week, they announced that they would observe a truce starting at midnight local time (0500 GMT) on Saturday. It should become a formal armistice and would only end if they were attacked, they said.
The Farc have declared ceasefires in the past, but these have been temporary. It has also staged similar attacks to the one on Friday, just before the commencing its ceasefires.
Caroline Lucas and Jonathan Bartley said they did not believe the British people had voted for the kind of Brexit being pursued by the prime minister.
The pair were speaking at their party's spring conference in Liverpool.
Ms Lucas voted against triggering Article 50 and has argued for a second referendum on the final Brexit deal.
The MP said the Green Party offered a "hopeful alternative" to young people "let down by Brexit".
"Young people deserve a party that will say loudly and clearly: freedom of movement is your right, tuition fees must be scrapped and private rents brought under control," she told the conference.
The Green Party of England and Wales is keen on forming electoral pacts with other anti-Brexit parties in the event of a "snap" general election.
Mr Bartley said: "The path to reform of democracy must begin with a reshaping of the mainstream of British politics.
"And yes, friends, that means sometimes putting aside our differences when we face a lost generation of Tory rule under the influence of the likes of Farage, Nuttall and Arron Banks."
Mr Bartley said the Labour Party - which has said it will back the government over Brexit provided it protected workers' rights and secured access to the free market - had failed to hold ministers to account.
And he said the Conservative government's Brexit strategy was not what people had voted for in June, telling party members: "None of this was in the referendum question put to the country last year."
"I know that the British people do not want their fellow Europeans, who've made their homes here in Britain in good faith, treated as hostages or bargaining chips whilst the prime minister gambles with their future," he added.
He urged party members and supporters not to give up hope "in the face of Trump and Brexit, terror, wars and environmental crises," adding "it's easy to feel powerless but that's what the establishment wants".
It touched the worlds of entertainment, media and charity work, as well as the military itself. What do we know of the victims?
Sixty-four members of the official choir of the Russian armed forces, men and women, were on the doomed plane, plus Lt-Gen Valery Khalilov, the Alexandrov's conductor.
The Alexandrov, which also includes an orchestra and dancers, is also known as the Red Army Choir, created in 1928.
It takes its name from its first director, Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov, who wrote the music to the Soviet and Russian national anthem.
Responding to news of the disaster, celebrated Russian actor Vasily Lanovoy could barely control his emotions as he explained the ensemble's significance: "When I was a kid, during the [Nazi] occupation in 1941, I heard their 'Stand up, great country' for the first time, on the third day of the war. I think it is a great ensemble and it needs to be revived. It should not disappear."
Among the ensemble's most distinguished artistes was solo dancer Kirill Kolobrodov, 39.
He had spent 20 years performing and had officially retired, with the title of "Labour Veteran". His father Alexander said he loved the ensemble so much that he had extended his contract for another year.
"He was my only son... After New Year he was going to fly to China for a three-week work trip, but it's all over now," Alexander Kolobrodov told Russia's Life News. The dancer is survived by a pregnant wife and three-year-old son.
Ralina Gilmanova, 22, was a ballerina in the ensemble and died with her boyfriend aboard the Tu-154 jet, solo singer Mikhail Vasin, 25. They had met about 18 months ago in the ensemble.
One of Gilmanova's friends, called Ildar, told Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda daily that the couple were planning to get married and had met each other's parents.
Gilmanova began her dance career at a ballet school in Kostroma, an historic city northeast of Moscow. Ildar, who also learnt dancing there, said she had asked him for advice about her career.
"She was ambitious - she was very keen to get into the Alexandrov Ensemble, and I was all for it, I supported her... She radiated good spirits, she smiled a lot," he said.
Lt-Gen Valery Khalilov, 64, was conductor and artistic director of the ensemble, as well as a composer.
He was decorated as a People's Artist of the Russian Federation in 2014 - one of Russia's highest honours. He was born in Uzbekistan, and his father conducted military bands.
From the age of 11 he specialised in music at school, mastering the clarinet, and learnt conducting at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire.
He was appointed conductor of the Alexandrov Ensemble in April this year, having spent years conducting other military orchestras. As a top musician he travelled to many European countries, as well as the US and North Korea.
He composed works for brass bands, choirs and chamber ensembles.
Liliya Pyreva, 19, was a ballerina who only joined the ensemble six months ago - and she was the youngest member.
Joining the Alexandrov was a dream come true for her.
A teacher who coached her at the Voronezh Choreographic School said Pyreva had expressed extraordinary emotion in her final ballet exam. She was performing the role of a girl bidding farewell to her soldier boyfriend, as he headed for the war zone.
"Liliya got it perfectly," Anastasia Shcheblykina told Voronezh website Svezhiy Veter. "I watched and thought 'she's just 19 - where did she learn how hard it is to say goodbye to loved ones?' And now it's really hard for me too."
One of Russia's best-known humanitarian figures, Yelizaveta Glinka - known popularly as Dr Liza - was executive director of the Fair Aid charity.
She was on the flight to deliver medication to a university hospital in Latakia.
In the Russian capital, she is mostly remembered for feeding, clothing and providing medical care to the homeless people who sleep in train stations.
"Liza Glinka helped the people that everyone turned away," human rights activist and opposition journalist Zoya Svetova, who knew her, told AFP news agency.
She was also known for evacuating sick and injured children from the war-torn separatist regions of east Ukraine, for treatment in Moscow.
Her actions in Ukraine brought her the enmity of some on the Ukrainian government side, who went so far as to accuse her of "abducting" children, while she was also criticised in Russia herself for her political views.
But tributes were paid to her right across the political spectrum in Russia.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former oil tycoon jailed under President Vladimir Putin, said: "She was ready to lay down her life for what she thought right. And she did so. Our disagreements are in the past. May she be eternally remembered."
Margarita Simonyan, head of Russian state broadcaster RT, wrote: "Dr Liza was a person who attracted nothing but admiration. Not for herself, it was never about her, only about the sick."
Just a few weeks before the crash, Dr Glinka was quoted (in Russian) as saying: "We are never sure we'll come back alive because war is hell on earth."
Nine members of the Russian media were aboard the jet, including crews from Channel One and the NTV channels, and the military TV channel, Zvezda.
Their deaths became the subject of a furious row on Russian social media after socialite Bozhena Rynska suggested on Facebook (in Russian) that some of them had been killed as divine retribution for past misreporting by pro-Kremlin media.
Her comments are now being investigated by Russian prosecutors, an official told Russia's Ria news agency.
The head of the Russian defence ministry's Department of Culture, Anton Gubankov, worked to popularise the armed forces with the young.
He once rapped on YouTube to encourage young Russian men not to fear military conscription.
He also wrote the song Polite People, which celebrates the Russian soldiers who oversaw the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2013 in a largely bloodless operation.
The plane was flown by its regular crew of eight, Sergei Bainetov, chief of the Russian Armed Forces flight safety service, told the Rossiya state TV channel.
Maj Roman Volkov (more than 3,000 flight hours) was in command, with Capt Alexander Rovensky his co-pilot (10 years of aviation service), the channel says.
Two civil servants, one of them Oxana Badrutdinova, were also among the dead.
Jersey is hosting the 2016 competition and Constable Steve Pallett was due to receive a flag from the current hosts.
Mr Pallett apologised to event organisers and said he was sorry for wasting some £1,000 of taxpayers money.
He said he did not realise he was about 500 miles (804km) short of his destination until just before landing.
The booking was made by someone within the Education, Sport and Culture department and a spokesman said it was "human error".
The last time the event was hosted in the UK was in Brighton in 2013.
Mr Pallett, assistant minister of both the Economic Development and Planning and Environment departments, said: "It is really disappointing, I have to apologise for wasting taxpayers money and for letting down the dance world cup.
"I don't know the exact cost as I've still got some figures to come back, but it won't be less than £1,000 and the department should have been more careful when it was booked.
"All I can do is apologise for what is a schoolboy error, the last thing I needed was a day trip to Budapest after a long week supporting the Island Games."
He was supposed to make a speech and accept the flag on behalf of nearly 3,000 competitors from 32 countries, including England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Mr Pallett said he did not realise he was going to the wrong place as he trusted the right booking had been made for him.
He had been heavily involved in the Island Games, a multi-sport competition similar to the Olympics, that was being held in Jersey the week before.
A container of Iridium-192 used for industrial radiography was taken from a truck in the town of Cardenas in Tabasco state.
The states of Campeche, Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz are also on alert.
Mexico's civil protection agency says that the material can cause death within hours or days if mishandled.
"This source is very dangerous to people if it is removed from its container," the agency warned in a statement.
The unprotected material can cause burns and permanent injuries to those who have been in contact with it for just minutes or hours.
Luis Felipe Puente, head of Mexico's civil protection agency, urged whoever finds the source to keep it at a distance and call for help.
The robbery was reported by the company Garantia Radiografica e Ingenieria which said that the material had been stolen on Monday.
This is not the first time radioactive materials have gone missing in Mexico.
In 2013, a truck carrying a highly radioactive source used for cancer treatments was stolen by thieves on its way to a waste storage facility.
Six people were arrested and taken to hospital with signs of radiation exposure but were later given the all clear by doctors.
They said they had not realised that radioactive material had been inside the truck.
At least two similar incidents happened last year. In both cases, the thieves said they had been targeting the vehicles rather than their contents.
The union says the "comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations" is related to problems with the "ageing" fleet of Piccadilly line trains.
Transport for London (TfL) urged the RMT not to "subject Londoners to another pointless strike".
No strike date has yet been announced.
The Piccadilly line, the fourth busiest on the Underground, has been the focus of a long-running industrial dispute over safety.
In January, a door opened on a moving train as it approached Heathrow, prompting an inspection of the whole fleet.
TfL said it was an "isolated incident", but the RMT denies this.
"There are major problems with the rolling stock that are not being addressed," a spokesman for the union told the BBC.
"Despite the fact that we've got members in the depot working to try to keep the fleet going, we've got problems with doors opening between stations, wheel flats [that affect braking] and signals being passed at danger."
RMT general secretary Mick Cash added: "Those issues have left drivers in a vulnerable position and have been used by management as a tool to harass and threaten members through misuse of the disciplinary procedure."
Pat Hansberry, Operations Director for London Underground, said: "It is disappointing that the RMT is once again threatening unnecessary strike action without seeking to resolve these local issues with us first.
"We urge the RMT to continue talks with us to resolve their issues rather than threatening to subject Londoners to another pointless strike."
Piccadilly line trains are known as "1973 stock", although they came into service later that decade.
They are now among the oldest trains on the London Underground.
Lt Yassin Hatem Salahedeen was found guilty of the manslaughter of Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, who was hit in the back with birdshot at a peaceful protest on the anniversary of the 2011 revolution.
Her death was caught on camera and caused a worldwide outcry.
The interior ministry initially denied police involvement in her death.
But in the face of mounting pressure, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi referred to Sabbagh as "my own daughter" and promised that those responsible would be held accountable.
Sabbagh, 32, was the mother of a five-year-old boy, a published poet, and a member of the Socialist Popular Alliance Party.
On 24 January, she was walking with friends to Cairo's Tahrir Square to lay a wreath in memory of the 2011 revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak when masked police fired on the group with tear gas and birdshot.
Footage showed her collapsing to the ground and being cradled by a friend.
Seventeen people who were at the protest with her were arrested and charged with taking part in an illegal demonstration, but they were acquitted last month.
Egypt's policing of protests has been a recurring source of criticism, with 1,150 protesters alone killed in a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood in July and August 2013 after the military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi, activists say.
Umar Balogun, 16, from Waltham Forest, London, died at Bawsey Pits, near King's Lynn, Norfolk, in July 2013.
Umar, who was in care at Castle Homes centre, Cambridgeshire, was at the lake with another boy and two care workers.
The staff members had not seen a document which said Umar was a "high risk" for swimming, Norfolk Coroner's Court heard.
Despite a sign saying "No swimming", the boys entered the water and started splashing about before Umar suddenly disappeared under the surface, the coroner's court was told.
A diver later recovered his body on the bottom of the lake.
The coroner's court heard from the two care workers - Vanda Cawley and Kevin Roweth - who took Umar and another boy to Bawsey on 16 July.
Ms Cawley had been brought in for the day from another home.
Mr Roweth, who had started the job a couple of weeks previously, is currently under investigation by the Health and Safety Executive.
Both staff members said they were not familiar with the boys' risk assessment forms.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental death after a four-day inquest.
Beth Battista said that she had no hesitation in offering her kidney after hearing of Lyla's protracted search to find a suitable donor.
"I knew I just had to get tested rather than watch her suffer," she said.
Both Beth and Lyla are now recovering after the successful transplant operation last Wednesday.
The teacher and mother-of-two said that she heard about Lyla's condition after her mother Dena Carreyn shared a Facebook post about the girl's desperate need for a living kidney donor.
Lyla was diagnosed a year ago with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), a rare autoimmune disorder which requires 12 hours of dialysis a day.
Beth contacted the the UW Health Transplant Program in Wisconsin and, after two tests in July and August, was deemed to be a suitable donor for Lyla.
It was a rare match because she needed to be the right blood group with few antibodies picked up from previous bouts of sickness. She also needed to have matching antigens.
In September she discovered that the child was to be a pupil in her class at the Kids' Express Learning Centre in Madison.
The woman donating organs to strangers
Woman with 100-year-old kidney from mum 'still going strong'
The operation itself required surgeons to make four small incisions in her stomach in order to pull the kidney out, before taking it to Lyla, who was in a nearby hospital ward.
"It was the same level of a pain as having a caesarean," the teacher told the BBC, "but I'm pleased to say that as soon as the kidney was put inside Lyla it began working immediately."
"I was discharged from hospital 48 hours after the surgery and am feeling OK although really tired.
"But I am told this common among donors because their remaining kidney needs to grow to make up for the missing organ.
"I'm really proud to have saved her life."
Her actions have won widespread plaudits on social media.
"You are an inspiration for all of us to go out there and be a donor," one commentator on Facebook said.
Investigators exhumed the remains of 31 men and one woman from a hillside in Zitlala, where turf wars between rival criminal gangs are common.
"The discoveries are terrible" a security spokesperson said, while the search for any additional hidden graves continued in the region.
No arrests have been made so far.
The remains were found in 17 different pits near the village of Pochahuixco between Tuesday and Thursday.
State security spokesman Roberto Alvarez told the AFP news agency the graves had been discovered following an anonymous tip, which led to the discovery of a kidnap victim.
AFP also reported that four heads were found "inside a cooler".
The town lies in the state of Guerrero, which has a very high rate of violent crime, and is also a significant opium producer.
It reported more than 1,800 homicides between January and October this year.
Residents in another town, Tixtla, discovered nine decapitated bodies earlier in the week. Investigators are checking if the remains match the heads discovered in Pochahuixco.
The remains have been sent to the state capital to be identified.
The 26-year-old has won six caps for Scotland, but was left out of the 2015 World Cup squad and has not featured in this year's Six Nations.
Tonks joined Edinburgh from Northampton Saints in 2012, scoring six tries in 79 appearances for the Pro12 club.
The South-Africa born player, who can also play full-back, started his career at Leicester before joining Saints.
Tonks is reunited with London Irish head of rugby Glenn Delaney, having played on loan with Nottingham while the Exiles coach was director of rugby at the Green and Whites.
"I am delighted that we have secured the services of a player of Greig's calibre," Delaney told the club website.
"He brings a lot of experience to the team and we look forward to welcoming him to the club."
Currently a Google vice-president, he believes this could occur as hardware and software become obsolete.
He fears that future generations will have little or no record of the 21st Century as we enter what he describes as a "digital Dark Age".
Mr Cerf made his comments at a large science conference in San Jose.
He arrived at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science stylishly dressed in a three-piece suit. This iconic figure, who helped define how data packets move around the net, is possibly the only Google employee who wears a tie.
I felt obliged to thank him for the internet, and he bowed graciously. "One is glad to be of service," he said humbly.
His focus now is to resolve a new problem that threatens to eradicate our history.
Our life, our memories, our most cherished family photographs increasingly exist as bits of information - on our hard drives or in "the cloud". But as technology moves on, they risk being lost in the wake of an accelerating digital revolution.
"I worry a great deal about that," Mr Cerf told me. "You and I are experiencing things like this. Old formats of documents that we've created or presentations may not be readable by the latest version of the software because backwards compatibility is not always guaranteed.
"And so what can happen over time is that even if we accumulate vast archives of digital content, we may not actually know what it is."
Vint Cerf is promoting an idea to preserve every piece of software and hardware so that it never becomes obsolete - just like what happens in a museum - but in digital form, in servers in the cloud.
If his idea works, the memories we hold so dear could be accessible for generations to come.
"The solution is to take an X-ray snapshot of the content and the application and the operating system together, with a description of the machine that it runs on, and preserve that for long periods of time. And that digital snapshot will recreate the past in the future."
A company would have to provide the service, and I suggested to Mr Cerf that few companies have lasted for hundreds of years. So how could we guarantee that both our personal memories and all human history would be safeguarded in the long run?
Even Google might not be around in the next millennium, I said.
"Plainly not," Vint Cerf laughed. "But I think it is amusing to imagine that it is the year 3000 and you've done a Google search. The X-ray snapshot we are trying to capture should be transportable from one place to another. So, I should be able to move it from the Google cloud to some other cloud, or move it into a machine I have.
"The key here is when you move those bits from one place to another, that you still know how to unpack them to correctly interpret the different parts. That is all achievable if we standardise the descriptions.
"And that's the key issue here - how do I ensure in the distant future that the standards are still known, and I can still interpret this carefully constructed X-ray snapshot?"
The concept of what Mr Cerf refers to as "digital vellum" has been demonstrated by Mahadev Satyanarayanan at Carnegie Mellon University.
"It's not without its rough edges but the major concept has been shown to work," Mr Cerf said.

The husband of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova told a US news website he had not received any news about her and her current location was being kept secret.
She had been on hunger strike at a penal colony in Mordovia.
She and another band member were jailed over a protest in a Moscow cathedral.
They were sentenced to two years' imprisonment after performing a crude protest song in February 2012. A third band member was released on appeal.
Tolokonnikova has complained of abuses by the prison staff in Mordovia.
Her husband said he last knew her precise whereabouts on 21 October, when guards put her on a train en route to a different prison.
She was seen on 24 October by a fellow passenger as the train arrived in the city of Chelyabinsk, in the Ural mountains.
Her husband, Pyotr Verzilov, told the Buzzfeed website he believed the decision to move his wife came from the authorities in Moscow: "They want to cut her off from the outside world."
He said Ms Tolokonnikova was still weak after two hunger strikes, and accused the authorities of trying to punish her because of her protests.
Pussy Riot's act was regarded as blasphemous by many Russians, but their prosecution caused an international outcry.
Mordovia, some 445km (275 miles) east of Moscow, has labour camps dating back to the notorious Gulag system set up by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Slains Castle, near Cruden Bay, was cordoned off after police received a report of an unconscious woman.
The woman, who has not been named, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Police Scotland said her death was currently being treated as unexplained, but there were no suspicious circumstances.
Just over two years later, the striker is preparing for pre-season with Southern Premier League Poole Town.
It is the place where QPR striker Charlie Austin began his career, but a far cry from Connell's experiences at the national stadium.
"When I was at Bradford, I wouldn't have imagined being here, but circumstances have dictated that I am," the 32-year-old told BBC Radio Solent.
"A lot of people don't realise there's a life away from football as well."
Life as a part-time player will be markedly different from helping Phil Parkinson's Bradford side secure promotion with a 3-0 win against Northampton, and their memorable run to that season's League Cup final, when he scored in their penalty shoot-out win against Arsenal.
The decision to join Poole is all about "coming home" and follows an injury-hit spell with National League South club Havant & Waterlooville.
"I've sacrificed a lot over the years to benefit my career," said Connell, who will now be facing clubs such as Slough Town, AFC Totton and Chesham United.
"Moving around, going to clubs which I think will benefit me at certain times, I just wanted to move somewhere where I feel settled. I'm really excited about the Poole Town challenge.
Connell's Bradford spell came to an end in January last year when he left to join a Northampton side in the thick of a relegation battle at the foot of League Two.
"Football doesn't stand still for anyone, it's a ruthless game," he said.
"We stayed up at Northampton. I didn't personally play well, it was a real dogfight, but we did what we had to do in the circumstances.
"At the end of the season, the manager didn't offer me a new contract. I was released and I made the decision to move back down to the south coast.
"That's how quickly things can change.
"But, I've got no regrets about any decision I've made in my career. I'm sure it's the same for anyone else in any other walk of life, you make a decision at the time you think's right.
"You can't look back three years later and say, 'I wish I did that instead'.
"I've got a life away from the game now with one or two other things going on and I'm happy again playing my football."
Connell's "no regrets" attitude extends towards former managers who have made decisions to let him go - even former Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio, who transfer-listed him after finishing as their top scorer in 2011-12.
"I wish all my former clubs well," he explained. "I've got a great relationship with all my ex-managers and when you see these people again, there's a really healthy relationship and a mutual respect."
Also among them is a certain Eddie Howe, who began his managerial career within months of Connell joining Bournemouth for a second spell in August 2008.
And the striker believes Howe will be more than capable of handling the challenge of managing a team in the Premier League for the first time this season.
"If you look at the bottom 10 or 12 teams in that league, I think Bournemouth have a chance of doing really well, not just finishing 17th," he added.
"He cares, he has attention to detail, sees things tactically other people don't see.
"He's got an aura and respect about him and just demands the best. It doesn't matter who you are, he just demands you're professional.
"Anything's possible for Eddie in his managerial career and I think they'll do well this season."
Alan Connell was speaking to BBC Radio Solent's Chris Wise
Christine Rowe, 70, from Newport, died after her Vauxhall Zafira collided with a Ford Transit van on Chepstow Road, near Beechwood Park, on Monday.
An 80-year-old man was also injured in the crash on Monday.
The 34-year-old van driver was remanded in custody to appear at Newport Crown court on 5 July.
He is also charged with causing serious injury to Mr Rowe and with failing to stop after a collision.
In tribute to Ms Rowe, her family said in a statement: "Loving wife, mum and nan, who will be missed by everyone who knew her. A piece of our hearts has been taken away."
North Wales Police said the incident occurred in the area around Love Lane and High Street in Denbigh at 04:00 BST on Saturday.
The arrested man remains in custody.
Det Ch Insp Alun Oldfield said officers were "at the scene within minutes" and the "public have been assisting officers with their enquiries".
It said it had hit problems upgrading its fabrication systems so they could manufacture components that were only 10nm (nanometres) in size.
Instead, Intel said, it would seek to boost processor performance by different means.
The news comes days after IBM said it had solved problems that would have stopped it using smaller components.
The delay was revealed by Intel boss Brian Krzanich during a conference call with the press and financial analysts.
"The lithography is continuing to get more difficult as you try and scale, and the number of multi-pattern steps you have to do is increasing," he said.
On the current generation of chips emerging from Intel factories, the smallest parts are about 14 nm in size.
Originally, Intel said these would be phased out in favour of the 10nm chips in the second half of 2016. Now, it said, 10nm chips may not appear before 2017 - a delay of about 6-9 months.
The delay will derail the two-step "tick tock" system it has been using for years to steadily improve processor power.
This process alternates changes to the gross layout of a chip (tock) with refinements to fabrication of individual components (tick).
Mr Krzanich did not elaborate on what would drive the improved number-crunching power of the 14nm chips it will be producing instead of the processors built around 10nm components.
Intel's admission could be a signal that Moore's law - which defines the steady year-on-year improvement in processor power - could be coming to an end.
When first formulated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore 50 years ago, this suggested that chip power could double every 12 months.
Often, this improvement comes about by shrinking the millions of transistors on a chip.
Since then, the law's estimate of how long it would take to refine production systems to make it economic to produce faster chips has stretched.
Now, improvements are expected approximately every 24 months.
Last week, IBM announced that it had found ways to reliably produce chips that had 7nm components.
However, it said, these techniques had so far only been shown to work in the laboratory and not in large-scale chip fabrication plants.
The three men, Antonio Pampliega, Jose Manuel Lopez and Angel Sastre, were working in the northern city of Aleppo.
They have not been heard from since shortly after entering Syria via Turkey on 10 July, according to the Spanish press association FAPE.
The Spanish foreign ministry said it was aware of the situation and was "working on it".
"We don't know (if they were together) doing their investigative reports in Aleppo, just that another three Spanish journalists were kidnapped in the same area nearly a year ago," said FAPE president Elsa Gonzalez.
The Islamic State (IS) group, which has kidnapped and killed Western journalists in Syria over the past year, controls areas in the north and east of Aleppo province.
The city of Aleppo has been the scene of daily fighting between forces belonging to the Syrian regime and rebel groups for more than three years.

Lampard, 38, played the final game of his initial two-year deal with the Major League Soccer outfit as they lost 5-0 to Toronto at Yankee Stadium.
It completed an 8-0 aggregate defeat and eliminated NYC from the play-offs.
Lampard, who signed for NYC after leaving Chelsea in 2014, has scored 12 times in 16 games this year, including a hat-trick against Colorado Rapids.
The former England midfielder had a difficult first season in the MLS - scoring three times in 10 appearances having arrived later than initially planned after a spell at Manchester City.
Dale opened the scoring when Mendez-Laing pounced on a loose ball from Ian Henderson's blocked effort.
Mendez-Laing then nipped in between Ian Lawlor and Peter Clarke to double his tally and Rochdale's lead.
Former Bury defender Ashley Eastham wrapped up the three points when he leapt highest in the Shakers' box to head Michael Rose's corner past Lawlor.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We wanted more penetration and we got it today. I think the game should have been put to bed before half time with the chances we created.
"I think it was all about control of the ball today.
"The plan worked but the players, more importantly, put in some practice and that's what pleases me most."
Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's been a real tough week. I've got players out there who physically weren't really prepared for the game.
"It didn't look right and it didn't feel right.
"We've got to get the right bodies in now and make sure we've got enough covering in every position to get over the line."
Eoin Bradley and Stephen O'Donnell's goals in the first half proved enough for the Bannsiders despite the dismissal of defender David Ogilby.
Coleraine are tied on the maximum nine points with Glenavon, who are top on goal difference, and holders Linfield.
Linfield ran out easy 4-0 winners at Dungannon while Glenavon hammered Ballymena 6-1 at the Showgrounds.
Newly-promoted Warrenpoint edged a 1-0 home win over Ards while Ballinamallard United drew 1-1 with Cliftonville.
Coleraine, third last season, will be delighted with their start having been faced with a tough-looking opening schedule against Dungannon, Cliftonville and Crusaders.
Bradley nodded Oran Kearney's side into a 22nd-minute lead and O'Donnell scored just before half-time with another close-range header.
Coleraine had to play the last 28 minutes without central defender David Ogilby as he was sent off when a hand ball offence meant a second yellow card.
They saw out the valuable win despite Crues substitute Jordan Forsythe pulling one back in stoppage-time.
Linfield rarely looked threatened in a routine win over Dungannon at Stangmore.
Paul Smyth, Niall Quinn and an own goal by former Blueman Seanan Clucas made it 3-0 at the break and Andy Mitchell netted the fourth with a late penalty.
Linfield have not lost a domestic fixture since 3 January and this was their third clean sheet in a row.
Glenavon were the top scorers of the day with a remarkable 6-1 success at Ballymena.
Incredibly, all the goals came in the second half and were scored by different players.
Adam Foley, James Singleton, Sammy Clingan (penalty), Andy Hall, Bobby Burns and Andrew Mitchell netted for Glenavon while United's solitary response was an 80th-minute penalty by Tony Kane.
Glentoran boss Gary Haveron will be disappointed with is side's draw at home to his former club Carrick.
The Glens looked on course to maintain their 100% start when Ross Redman shot them into the lead in the first half , but Lee Chapman headed Carrick's equaliser 40 seconds after the restart.
Former Portadown striker Darren Murray scored in Warrenpoint's 1-0 win over Ards.
Ballinamallard took the lead through a Ryan Curran penalty but Garry Breen equalised for Cliftonville who may feel they should have taken the chances they had to win the game.
The new charity will manage the National Heritage Collection, which includes Stonehenge and Dover Castle.
The government currently contributes £22m annually towards the collection. The aim is for the charity to eventually become self sufficient.
Other powers such as listing buildings will remain government funded.
The new official body, which will also advise on planning, has a working name of the National Heritage Protection Service.
The new charity will still be called English Heritage and the 420 sites in the National Heritage Collection - which include London's Kenwood House, and Charles Darwin's home in Kent - will remain in public ownership.
Government funding for the charity will be tapered down from 2015 eventually to nothing, meaning it will have more freedom than now to generate income from commercial activities and philanthropic donations.
Some of the £80m awarded by the government will help to set up the charity so it will be fully operational by March 2015.
In a statement, the government agency described the planned changes, which will be subject to a consultation, as "an excellent outcome".
"This year we have been celebrating 100 years of state protection for heritage and today's announcement sets the scene for the next century.
"The government's £80m investment and the creation of the new charity will help us preserve the National Heritage Collection for the future, be true to the story of the places we look after, to aim for the highest standards in everything we do from our conservation work to the way we run our events and to provide an experience that brings the story of England alive."
The announcement came as the government said there would be cuts of up to 5% in funding for museums and the arts in the Spending Review for 2015-2016.
Mr Eastwood was speaking at his party's annual conference in Londonderry.
He became leader four months ago.
With the Assembly election only two months away, Colum Eastwood has insisted his party will not lose out as Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness vie for the top job at Stormont.
"No one person has more power than the other so this nonsense that people want to put out there that it's a battle between Martin and Arlene about who is going to be the first minister, it undermines the fact that we want to move politics forward," he said.
"We want politics to be about policy, about ideas and about delivery, not about whose name plate is above which office."
Under Stormont rules, the largest party of the largest designation - unionist or nationalist - provides the first minister.
But the positions of first and deputy first minister are effectively equal.
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster said a small swing in votes would hand the role to Sinn Féin.
She suggested unionist voters should support the DUP to prevent Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin from becoming first minister.
But the SDLP leader said focusing on that contest cheapens politics.
The SDLP deputy leader Ferghal McKinney used his speech to attack what he called the failure of successive DUP ministers to tackle the problems in the health service, adding that stagnation at Stormont is no longer an option.
Tubelines maintenance staff represented by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will vote on whether to launch a campaign of industrial action.
On Wednesday, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) said it would issue ballot papers to control staff after also rejecting the agreement.
Only one union has agreed to the offer.
RMT Tube staff who are not with Tubelines unanimously backed the pay and conditions deal on Tuesday.
Read more on this and other London stories.
Tubelines was a separate firm but is now part of Transport for London (TfL).
It has about 1,000 RMT members and maintains three of the lines the 24-hour service will run on.
General secretary Mick Cash said RMT members within Tubelines had "unanimously thrown out" the deal and were "furious" LU management had tried to "tie in attacks on pensions" with the pay deal.
LU chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said the offer was "full and final" and more negotiations were planned for next week.
The TSSA's Manuel Cortes accused LU of "continuing to drag out this unnecessary dispute", saying it had "spent four months refusing to negotiate".
TfL said the TSSA had demanded more money than that offered to other unions but "hasn't explained why their members... deserve a higher pay award".
Members of the drivers' union ASLEF are voting on the offer and have been advised to back the deal.
Unite has not agreed to the Night Tube pay offer.
The 24-hour Night Tube service was meant to begin in September last year but has been delayed by the ongoing pay and conditions dispute.
What is the pay deal offered?
The proposed agreement includes a 2% pay rise in year one, Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation or 1% (whichever is greater) in years two and three, and RPI plus 0.25% or 1% (whichever is greater) in year four.
There will also be a £500 bonus for staff on lines where the Night Tube will run.
A £500 bonus will be given to station staff for the "successful implementation of the new staff model".
The Portadown driver retired from race one in his BMW after clashing with Matt Neal as the cars left the grid.
In race two, Turkington carved his way through the field to climb from 32nd to 10th by the chequered flag.
Turkington continued to make progress in race three, starting ninth and moving up the order to finish second.
He barely made it off the line in race one, being eliminated when Neal's Honda clattered into Turkington before reaching turn one.
In race two, Turkington moved his way up the order to 10th, before being promoted to ninth after Rob Austin was excluded for overtaking under yellow flags.
Turkington just lost out to team-mate Andrew Jordan on the final lap in race three after another charging drive.
Carrickfergus man Chris Smiley had a luckless weekend on his return to the championship.
Smiley, 24, missed out on setting a quick time in qualifying as rain spoiled his fastest lap, before a technical issue dropped Smiley out of race two when he was running in the points.
Turkington lies seventh in the championship after the opening round, 22 points behind early leader Gordon Shedden.
Belfast driver Charlie Eastwood picked up two podiums in the BTCC supporting Porsche Carrera Cup, while Daniel Harper grabbed a podium in race two of the Ginetta Junior series.
In Formula E, Portadown's Adam Carroll picked up his first Formula E points as he brought his Jaguar home eighth with an impressive drive in the Mexico City ePrix.
Energy minister Paul Wheelhouse told MSPs that the gas extraction technique "poses numerous and serious environmental risks".
He said it would have "no place in Scotland's energy mix at this time".
Green groups welcomed the news, but the Conservatives said they were "deeply disappointed".
Mr Wheelhouse said separate reports on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, would be published after the parliamentary recess, with a consultation on that technique to follow.
UCG is a method of extracting gas from coal seams that are too deep underground to be mined using traditional techniques.
Energy firm Cluff Natural Resources had planned to build the UK's first deep offshore UCG plant at Kincardine in Fife, which would have extracted gas from coal seams under the Firth of Forth.
But the plans were on hold while the Scottish government waited for an independent examination of the technique from Professor Campbell Gemmell of Glasgow University.
UCG licences in the Firth of Forth and Solway Firth were also held by firm Five Quarter, although the company collapsed earlier this year.
Prof Gemmell's report said it would appear logical "to progress toward a ban" of UCG, due to a history of incidents of pollution elsewhere and risks of impacting on greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr Wheelhouse said: "Having considered the report in detail, it is the Scottish government's view that UCG poses numerous and serious environmental risks and, on that basis, the Scottish government cannot support this technology.
"Accordingly, UCG will have no place in Scotland's energy mix at this time."
The Scottish government said it would continue to use planning powers available to it to ensure UCG applications do not receive planning or environmental permission.
The minister has also written to the UK government to request that it issues no further licences for the technique in Scotland, and asking for existing licences to be revoked.
A moratorium on UCG had been imposed last year alongside a wider one covering fracking techniques, which still remains in force
The UCG process has been around since the 19th Century, but is only now becoming commercially viable thanks largely to technological developments and the rising price of gas.
Its supporters argue it is a new and cleaner way of extracting the estimated 85% of the world's coal reserves that are too deep to mine using traditional techniques.
According to Dr Harry Bradbury, founder and chief executive of UK company Five-Quarter, this process results in 20% of the CO2 produced from traditional coal mining.
But environmental campaigners have claimed UCG is a risky and experimental technique, with a "very chequered history" around the world.

The move was welcomed by green groups and some political parties.
Friends of the Earth Scotland said the decision was "a victory for people power".
Head of campaigns Mary Church said: "Setting coal seams alight under two of our major Firths was always a reckless idea and today the Government has listened to communities and put an end to this risky industry."
And WWF Scotland said it was "great news for the environment", voicing hopes that ministers would also ban fracking.
For Scottish Labour, Claudia Beamish welcomed the move and also called for all other unconventional extraction techniques to be banned.
Green MSP Mark Ruskell said the government had validated the concerns of communities, calling for amendments to planning policy to make the block legally watertight.
And Lib Dem Liam McArthur said allowing UCG "would have been a backward step as we work to cut emissions".
But the Scottish Conservatives said they were "deeply disappointed" by the move, with energy spokesman Alexander Burnett calling it "yet another missed opportunity".
He said: "These technologies could create thousands of jobs, boost the economy and lower future energy bills.
"The SNP is at great pains to say how different fracking and UCG are - perhaps their biggest similarity is the SNP's dogmatic objection to them both.
"If we don't start embracing these technologies, we risk getting left behind altogether."
And Cluff Natural Resources said it was "obviously disappointing", noting that "we have no doubt that UCG will be developed elsewhere in the world and the opportunity for Scotland to benefit from first mover advantage will have been lost".
The news comes on the same day as the UK government gave the go-ahead for horizontal fracking in Lancashire, in what is seen as a landmark ruling for the shale gas industry.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has approved plans for fracking at Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site at Little Plumpton in Lancashire.
But second site, Roseacre Wood, has not yet been given the green light amid concerns over the impact on the area.
Robin Maughan, a Frankie Valli impersonator, is serving a 12-year sentence for offences including grooming and abusing two teenagers.
The 36-year-old, of Market Harborough, Leicestershire, has since pleaded guilty to further charges, including taking indecent photos of children.
The judge at Leicester Crown Court said he would be sentenced on 23 June.
The new charges faced by Maughan, formerly of Western Avenue, involved a number of boys and girls aged 13 to 16 between 2000 and 2015.
They include sexual touching, indecent assault and taking more than 200 indecent images of children.
Det Con Rob Waddington, who led the investigation, said: "As a result of the publicity surrounding his previous conviction, more victims came forward, and we worked to gather evidence to be able to put these charges to him.
"We know there are more victims out there who were abused by Maughan and who haven't been able to come forward for whatever reason, and I would urge them to make contact with us."
Harry Styles said the band was "very sorry" for cancelling Tuesday's show.
Fans were already inside the city's SSE Arena when the gig was pulled at 21:00 BST after singer Liam Payne fell ill.
Styles told BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans that the band had been "trying to get on and then it was just impossible".
Payne was "just very, very ill", he said.
"We very, very much apologise to everyone."
And Payne tweeted: "I'm so sorry to everybody I disappointed last night. I'm feeling better now.
"I really hope everyone can make the rescheduled date on Friday.
"I really can't wait to perform and make it up to everyone later."
Disappointed fans booed as staff instructed them to leave the venue, and one witness said "hundreds" of girls and women had been left weeping.
Concert promoter Aiken Promotions said: "The show tonight has been cancelled as Liam has taken ill, and whilst not serious, he is unable to perform tonight."
And in another statement on Wednesday, the promoter apologised for the cancellation.
That show has been rescheduled for Friday and original tickets are valid.
"We thank everyone for their understanding and their good wishes to Liam," Aiken Promotions added.
Fans unable to attend Friday's concert have been told they will be refunded.
It was the first time in the band's five-year career that they had been forced to cancel a show.
Previously, members had filled in for each other when illness struck.
"To be honest, we feel kind of lucky that we've got to this point and never cancelled one," said Styles.
But the rescheduled show has come at a cost for ice hockey fans in Belfast.
The Belfast Giants had been due to play a game against the Sheffield Steelers at SSE Arena on Friday night.
That has now had to make way for the One Direction gig.
Neil Walker, the arena's general manager, said "all possible options" had been assessed before the decision was made and he apologised to supporters of both teams.
"We are very grateful to them for their understanding and accommodation of the nearly 10,000 young concert fans who were so devastated by the cancellation last night," he added.
"We are now looking forward to three great nights of concerts."
The 21-year-old has been at Chelsea since she was nine and spent last season on loan with Women's Super League 2 side Bristol City.
"I know a few of the girls already from playing with England and I have met a few of them as well. Everyone has made me feel really welcome," she said.
"I'm buzzing to start pre-season in August and meet the rest of them."
The visitors led 0-9 to 0-3 at half-time and McHugh's double, plus another goal from Patrick McBrearty, saw Donegal take total control of the game.
The Mournemen had Donal O'Hare red-carded in the 65th minute for an off-the-ball incident with Eamon McGee.
McGee was one of five players who received black cards during the match.
Donegal duo Neil McGee and Michael Carroll were also black-carded, along with Down pair Joe Murphy and Conaill McGovern.
Neil McGee was penalised for bringing down Ryan Johnston in the 18th minute, but O'Hare's resulting penalty was saved by young Donegal goalkeeper Peter Boyle.
For Down and new manager Eamon Burns, it was a rude awakening to the realities of life in Division One following their promotion last season.
Early long-range points from Ciaran Thompson and Michael Murphy, the latter from a free, set the tone for the match and Murphy continued to play a pivotal role with a series of frees and an expertly executed point from an acute angle.
Five unanswered scores in the run-up to the break saw Rory Gallagher's side lead by six points at the interval and McHugh found the net with the deftest of touches after 40 minutes.
His Kilcar clubmate McBrearty fired home the second with a clinical finish into the bottom corner two minutes later and Leo McLoone got in on the act with two points in as many minutes to leave the score 2-12 to 0-7.
McHugh's second goal of the evening on 58 minutes extended his side's advantage further and O'Hare's dismissal completed a miserable evening for the hosts.
Donegal, who introduced the returning Rory Kavanagh as a second-half substitute, play Cork at Ballybofey in their next fixture on Sunday 7 February, with Down away to Monaghan in another Ulster derby.
Donegal manager Rory Gallagher: "When we got the first goal, the game kind of ran away from them. We would expect Cork to be stronger next week.
"We want to keep improving, working hard and getting into good habits in the league."

Below is a summary of the seven defendants:
Rebekah Brooks
Andy Coulson
Stuart Kuttner
Clive Goodman
Mark Hanna
Cheryl Carter
Charlie Brooks
Rebekah Brooks, nee Wade, was chief executive of Rupert Murdoch’s News International when the phone-hacking allegations broke in 2010.
A former News of the World editor, she had become one of Mr Murdoch’s trusted lieutenants having risen through the ranks of the family’s newspapers with astonishing speed.
In 2000 she became the youngest editor of a British national newspaper and went on to launch the controversial Sarah's Law campaign in which the paper began naming sex offenders. Three years later, she became the first female editor of the Sun before becoming News International’s chief executive in 2009.
Charges: Phone hacking, misconduct in public office, perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty of all charges
Andy Coulson stepped down as Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director in 2011, stating the row over phone hacking was stopping him giving the '110%' he needed in the job.
His role at the heart of government was far removed from his beginnings on the Basildon Evening Echo. The local news reporter went on to join the Sun and rose rapidly through the ranks of News International. He became the News of the World’s deputy editor in 2000 and succeeded Rebekah Brooks as editor three years later.
In 2007 he became director of communications for the Conservative Party before taking up the same role for Number 10 in 2010 after the general election.
Charges: Phone hacking, misconduct in a public office
Verdicts: Guilty of phone hacking, jury failed to reach verdicts on misconduct charges
Stuart Kuttner held a number of senior roles at the News of the World before retiring in 2009. He was the newspaper's managing editor for 22 years and had been its deputy editor prior to that.
Alongside Rebekah Brooks, Mr Kuttner was closely involved with the campaign for Sarah's Law, which saw the paper push for parental access to the sex offenders register following the murder of seven-year-old Sarah Payne.
Charge: Phone hacking
Verdict: Not guilty
Clive Goodman was the News of the World’s royal editor until 2007. Mr Goodman had begun his career on the Daily Mail before joining the News of the World. He stayed at the tabloid for almost two decades. Among his many royal exclusives was the breakdown of the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Charges: Misconduct in a public office
Verdicts: Jury discharged after failing to reach verdicts
Mark Hanna was head of security at News International for more than four years and has had almost two decades of experience in the security industry, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He joined the Murdoch company in 2009 from the Japanese investment bank Nomura International, where he was vice-president (security).
He has a military background and has been on the editorial board of Professional Security magazine, according to SecurityNewsDesk - a website covering security industry news.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Cheryl Carter, an executive assistant, had worked for Mrs Brooks for almost two decades.
She had been Mrs Brooks's PA when she was editor of the News of the World and the Sun. She continued in the role when Mrs Brooks was promoted to the News International chief executive's role in 2009.
Ms Carter had also worked for ex-News of the World managing editor Stuart Kuttner and former deputy editor Neil Wallis. She was also beauty editor at the Sun, another News International title.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Charlie Brooks, along with his wife Rebekah, are regarded as key members of the “Chipping Norton set” - a network of powerful figures in media, politics and entertainment living close to each other in the Oxfordshire countryside. Among them is David Cameron, whom Mr Brooks knows from his schooldays at Eton. The Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, first introduced the Brookses to each other at a party.
Mr Brooks married Rebekah Wade, as she then was, in June 2009. In January 2012, Mr and Mrs Brooks became parents by a surrogate mother.
Mr Brooks has been involved in horse racing for most of his life, first as a stable hand and amateur jockey and then as a racehorse trainer. He has also written a novel and a racing column for the Daily Telegraph.
Charge: Perverting the course of justice
Verdict: Not guilty
Thirty-five firefighters were called to the fire which started at 04:30 GMT at Malvern Tyres in Richmond Walk.
The fire is now under control and no-one is reported injured but nearby residents were asked to keep their windows closed to avoid the fumes.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, said Devon and Somerset Fire Service.
Resident Steven Grimshaw, who was woken at 05:30 GMT, said: "There was thick black smoke and lots of popping noises.
"A large fire had started in the tyre warehouse and there was lots of black smoke billowing into the sky."
Devon and Somerset fire spokesman Paul Bray said: "After the fire started it made rapid progress through the building and shortly after, the roof and a wall collapsed.
"Fortunately we were able to stop it spreading to the next-door building which contains bottled gas."
He said that the wind had blown most of the smoke out to sea.
Brenda Hale said her life was turned upside down by a stranger who began harassing her after the 2011 election.
The Lagan Valley MLA said the man started to call and text her, and she felt "incredibly threatened".
"He said we couldn't let this relationship go but I had never met this man," she told the BBC.
She said the man approached her while she was shopping in Marks & Spencer.
"I thought he was a constituent so I was very happy to converse with him and then he said he had been watching me a lot and he had got hold of my telephone number, and then the calls and texts started arriving with increasing regularity," she said.
"I did not know this man from Adam and he was stalking me from his home address in Dublin."
Mrs Hale, whose husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2009, said the whole experience was "terribly frightening".
"I had become a very public person after the death of my husband and so my story was out there - that I was alone with two children," she said.
"To feel vulnerable like that made me question whether a job in the public arena was the right one for me."
She said she "nipped it in the bud very quickly" and the police were "very quick to act".
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK which does not have specific laws to protect victims of stalking.
On Monday, Mrs Hale brought forward a motion about the need for new legislation. Assembly members voted on it and an amendment introduced by the SDLP and both were passed.
Mrs Hale said the debate was a "vital step forward".
"A legal definition will enable us to not only protect victims but also monitor reports of stalking, arrests and consequent prosecutions," she added.
Green Party deputy leader Clare Bailey MLA spoke of her own experience of stalking after the debate.
"I had razor blades stuck in my car tyres, which caused the tyres to blow up after dropping my children to school," she said.
"I decided then to report the stalking to the police, but response was "What do you want us to do about it?". I couldn't answer their question but I didn't report any further incidences."
It was time to make stalking a "recognised crime in its own right", she added.
Justice Minister Claire Sugden said a review of the existing laws around stalking both in Northern Ireland and elsewhere was already under way.
In an interview with Australia's 60 Minutes, John Bilardi described his son as a "loner" who had a "death wish".
An emotional Mr Bilardi also said he blamed himself for his son's actions.
Unconfirmed reports say that Bilardi died earlier this month in Iraq.
Mr Bilardi said his son was a "prize" for IS.
"He was a trophy that they paraded online. They gloated about how they had recruited this young boy who didn't even have a Muslim background.
"They used him for their own, what cause? All I see that they're murdering people, including my son. They murdered him."
The programme described how Bilardi's parents went through a "bitter divorce" when he was a young boy.
Mr Bilardi lost contact with Bilardi and his five siblings following the divorce, but began to see his son again after Bilardi's mother died in 2013.
"He just had this smile on his face, he was softly spoken, you could see the shyness in him," Mr Bilardi said.
"The first thing that came out was 'Dad, I've converted to Muslim' ... I literally fell back in my seat."
Mr Bilardi revealed that his son sent him a message when he arrived in Syria.
Bilardi said he was "happy" to be there and had travelled to the country "with the intention of supporting the people of this land".
Friends of Bilardi told the programme that he was "bullied quite a lot". They said he spoke openly at school about his intention to "sacrifice his life for Islam".
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called Bilardi's reported suicide attack a "tragic example of a young Australian being lured to a senseless and violent death".
Mr Bilardi said he would create a memorial for his son, who he described as an "intelligent" boy who could have had a "bright career".
"For Jake my son - not the jihadist, not the terrorist," he said.
It is a criminal offence in Australia for citizens to set foot in the IS strongholds of Mosul and Raqqa without a legitimate reason such as a visit to family.
Any Australian who travels to the city could face 10 years in prison.
But Australia estimates that around 90 of its citizens have already travelled to Iraq or Syria to fight with IS and 20 have been killed in the conflict.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said the quality of service at HMRC "collapsed" over an 18-month period between 2014 and 2015.
Call waiting times tripled during that time, as some customers were kept on hold for up to an hour.
In response, HMRC said most calls were now being answered in just six minutes.
As part of its most recent study, the NAO worked out how much money callers would have notionally lost, while waiting for a reply.
Using HMRC's own criteria, it valued people's time at an average of £17 an hour.
As a result it claimed callers would have wasted the following sums:
The NAO blamed HMRC's poor performance on its decision to cut 11,000 staff between 2010 and 2014.
As part of its strategy to persuade people to do their tax returns online, it had anticipated needing fewer employees to answer the phone.
But after call waiting times for self-assessment tax returns peaked at 47 minutes last autumn, HMRC was forced to bring in 2,400 staff to its tax helpline.
Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, said he accepted that HMRC's overall plan did make sense.
"This does not change the fact that they got their timing badly wrong in 2014, letting significant numbers of call handling staff go before their new approach was working reliably," he said.
Citizens Advice said some people might fall into debt as a result of the problems - if they missed a tax deadline as a result.
"Long waiting times not only cause frustration and increase the cost of the call, but can also mean people miss important deadlines," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice.
"For example if you don't return your tax form on time you face a fine - which for some households can be an additional cost they can't afford to pay."
HMRC said its service levels had improved since the period in question. Over the last six months it said call waiting times had averaged six minutes.
"We recognise that early in 2015 we didn't provide the standard of service that people are entitled to expect and we apologised at the time," said Ruth Owen, HMRC's director general for customer services.
We have since fully recovered and are now offering our best service levels in years," she said.
However the NAO said it was also concerned that, because many taxpayers never got through to HMRC on the phone, they may have paid the wrong amount of tax.
In March this year there were 3.2m outstanding high priority cases that still required investigation.
MPs on the Public Accounts Committee will take further evidence on the issue on 13 June.
Two statements were read at St Michael's Church in Lamplugh, the village where one of Bird's brothers, his twin, was found dead.
The family also offered condolences to the loved ones of those killed.
Bird's sons Graeme and Jamie said: "We do not know why he committed these horrific crimes and we are both mortified by the sad events."
Later hundreds of people gathered in Seascale, the village where Bird killed three people, for the first of two memorial services.
The second service was held in Whitehaven, where Bird shot dead one of his fellow taxi drivers.
In Lamplugh, in a statement read by Rev Jim Marshall, Bird's sons called the 52-year-old a "loving dad who had recently become a grandfather" and "the nicest man you could ever meet".

They said: "Dad was a loving, cheerful character, and was well known throughout the whole community and the areas in which he worked.
"He will be missed by us and by his family and by his friends."
Of the victims' families, Bird's sons said: "Our thoughts are with them".
Bird killed 12 people in west Cumbria on Wednesday before driving to the Lake District where he shot himself.
Police believe he deliberately targeted some of his victims and indiscriminately shot at others during his 45-mile rampage.
Detectives are continuing to try to establish a motive for the killings.
Speaking outside the church, Mr Marshall said Bird's mother Susan learnt of her son's gun rampage when she turned on the television.
He said: "She was horrified, she was astounded. She was just stunned and still can't take it in.
"That is the last time she watched the television."
He said Mrs Bird then locked all the doors. When asked if the family had feared for their lives, he replied: "Yes, wouldn't you if you realised (he) had killed his twin brother."
But Mr Marshall said the Derrick Bird his family knew "was not the person they saw on Wednesday".
Bryan Bird, the gunman's surviving brother, also released a statement expressing his "shock and dismay".
He said: "The loss of both of my brothers is devastating. They were both very caring, family people.
"They were well known and respected in their local communities. My family and I are saddened at the loss of life and woundings, and can only offer their condolences to the families concerned.
"We appreciate what they are suffering at this time. We cannot offer any reason why Derrick took it upon himself to commit these crimes."
The President of the Association of Chief Police Officers, Sir Hugh Orde, has praised the response of Cumbria's officers during the shooting spree.
Speaking on the Politics Show on BBC One on Sunday, he said: "It was a completely unexpected and unpredictable event and the response, from a police perspective, was very good."
He said it would not have made any difference if a larger force had been in control.
NGOs on the Mediterranean island underlined the need to dramatically shift the goalposts if the surge in deaths is to be stemmed.
But their proposed solutions are unlikely to resonate with many of Malta's 420,000 inhabitants, who feel European states have ignored the migration problems in the Mediterranean for too long.
The sun-drenched tourist haven of Malta disguises the tragedy unfolding at its doorstep, though many are uneasy about the chaos engulfing Libya just 354km (220 miles) away.
Sensational media claims that radical Islamists could infiltrate boatloads of migrants have served only to inflate irrational fears.
The attitude towards asylum seekers in Malta has shifted dramatically, from the compassion shown when the first boats started landing in 2002, towards indifference, and, in the last few years, outright racism among sectors of society.
In the aftermath of two shipwrecks, that killed at least 1,000 in the last week, one tasteless commentator even uploaded a Facebook post saying he was put off fish because they were now feeding on "Ebola-infected corpses".
Many who posted comments on the Times of Malta website blamed the migrants themselves for taking the trip in the first place.
Maria Pisani, director of Integra Foundation, a Maltese not-for-profit organisation, says the solution should be a concerted effort to strengthen search and rescue operations and provide safer access to asylum.
That way, she says, refugees would not be forced to take this route in the first place.
The policy of containment and strengthening of EU borders has contributed to deaths and prolonged human suffering, Ms Pisani says.
She believes that increased efforts to beef up security will simply serve to redirect smuggling routes elsewhere - possibly to deadlier routes.
Neil Falzon, director of Aditus, a Maltese human rights group, agrees. Creating camps or blockades in a war-torn country like Libya is out of the question, he says, since it is unable to protect its own nationals, let alone anyone else.
If solutions are to be found, he says, politicians need to think of the reasons why people are getting onto boats.
Mr Falzon, a human rights lawyer, says: "While there is some awareness about Syria, nobody knows if and what the EU is doing to improve the situation in places like Eritrea and Somalia, from where people have been fleeing for years as the world looks on with indifference.
"Migrants flee their home for different reasons. If we bundle them all together, nothing will work.
"We need to keep in mind that no proposal or measure will totally eliminate the boat situation. We need to be ready to accept that this issue will persist, even if we have the best solution."
Mr Falzon believes that EU countries can start helping by offering visas from their embassies in non-European states. Ultimately, traffickers need to be stopped or at least curbed.
"If you talk to any migrant in Malta they will all tell you traffickers are not hard to find; it's an open business."
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has dramatically shifted tone and attitude since July 2013, when he threatened to push back a group of migrants to Libya to pile pressure on EU states to act. He now speaks about the need for compassion.
Mr Muscat and his Italian counterpart Matteo Renzi are spearheading the regional response, but many on the island state are determined that Malta, one of the most densely populated countries in the world, cannot take any more migrants.
Malta has one of the highest per capita refugee acceptance rates in the world, and its inhabitants are expecting the European bloc to throw them a lifeline.
For years, Malta has appealed to other EU states to absorb some of its refugees. The response has been abysmal.
"Ultimately, the problem is that nobody wants refugees as neighbours," Mr Falzon said.
Danny Willett is one stroke behind following a round of 64, with another Englishman, Chris Hanson, on 11 under.
Defending champion Rikard Karlberg of Sweden, who went round in 67, is tied for third with Hanson (65) and American Daniel Im (64) at Golf Club Milano.
England's Chris Wood is on 10 under and Scot Jamie McLeary a shot further back.
Rain and the threat of lightning saw play called off at 16:36 BST on Friday.
Karlberg, who led after a weather-delayed first round, faces the prospect of playing 36 holes on Saturday, having failed to start his second round on Friday.
Tournament director David Williams told the European Tour website: "If we had a dry night and some reasonable weather over the weekend, then we could still get four rounds in and finish on time on Sunday night."

Andronicos Sideras, 54, has been accused of deliberately mixing up the meats before they were sold in 2012.
Mr Sideras was one of the owners of meat company and sausage manufacturer Dinos & Sons.
The businessman, from Southgate, north London, denies conspiracy to defraud between 1 January and 30 November 2012.
Prosecutor Jonathan Polnay said alarm bells were raised after Dinos "messed things up" when assembling an order.
A surprise inspection was triggered when the wrong size of shipment was sent to a company called Rangeland in Newry, Northern Ireland, in 2012, Inner London Crown Court was told.
The 12-pallet load was analysed and four of them contained horse.
Mr Polnay said: "Some of them were found to contain significant amounts of horsemeat; roughly about a third contained horse."
It is alleged Mr Sideras mixed meat in this way before it was sold on to manufacturers making products for "a vast range of well-known companies".
Mr Sideras's fingerprints were found on "fake" labels, the court heard.
Mr Polnay added: "The final piece of the jigsaw is that when the meat was analysed, three horse ID chips were found in some of it."
The chips were roughly the size of a 1cm grain of rice - two of which were Polish and one Irish.
It is alleged Danish-owned company Flexi Foods would buy horsemeat and beef from suppliers across Europe and then deliver to Dinos & Sons in Tottenham, north London.
Mr Polnay said the fraud could not have worked or taken place without the "connivance" of Mr Sideras.
He said: "The meticulous records kept by FlexiFoods caused their undoing. They also provide compelling evidence of the guilt of this defendant."
He told the court that two men, Ulrik Nielsen, 58, the owner of FlexiFoods, and his "right-hand man", Alex Beech, 44, have already pleaded guilty to the same charge.
The trial continues.
The Republic has become the first country in the world to introduce same-sex marriage in a popular vote, just days after the Prince of Wales visited Mullaghmore in County Sligo where his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten was murdered by the IRA in 1979.
While in Sligo, Prince Charles also visited the grave of the Irish poet, WB Yeats, under the shadow of Ben Bulben mountain in Drumcliffe cemetery.
The poet was born 150 years ago and many of his verses were quoted during the Royal visit.
Nearly every Irish student learns the lines from the poem September 1913: "Romantic Ireland is dead and gone, it's with O'Leary in the grave."
O'Leary was an old Irish revolutionary who wanted to free Ireland from British rule.
The referendum result speaks volumes about a changed Republic of Ireland and it is tempting to write: "Catholic Ireland is dead and gone."
It was the revelation that Bishop Eamon Casey had fathered a child that first started a process which, for many, undermined the authority of the Catholic Church.
Soon afterwards a tsunami of revelations about child sex abuse involving priests and cover-ups by bishops further and greatly diminished the standing of the church hierarchy in a country that is nominally 85% Catholic, although empty churches and declining Mass attendance tell another story.
It was only in 1993 that homosexual acts were decriminalised; civil partnership was introduced in 2010.
Throughout the campaign, bishops preached against a "Yes" vote for same-sex marriage and indicated their deep unhappiness with the government's proposal.
They were joined by social conservatives and Catholic lay groups in expressing their view that the proposal undermined the traditional family of a husband, a wife and children.
But only three of the 166 members of the Irish parliament publicly supported that view and urged a "No" vote.
Against the hierarchy stood a coalition of all the main political parties, gay rights activists and their families and supporters.
It is noticeable that the "Yes" vote was strongest in more urban areas and among younger voters who study the African-American struggle for civil rights for their state exams.
And it was also noticeable in conversations how many of them were influenced by that struggle for equality in Saturday's result.
Thousands returned from abroad to vote, and thousands more delayed their working holidays after finishing university exams to register their support for the government's proposal.
Social media was abuzz with their stories.
Some "No" campaigners feared the worst from early on; some privately said that even if they won this time they knew they were battling against the tide of history because such was the strength of feeling among young people that there would be another referendum and it would then pass.
Today, though, is not the first recent indication of the diminished standing of the Catholic Church.
Two years ago, the bishops failed to stop the government and politicians from introducing legislation to allow for abortions in cases where there was a credible suicide threat from a woman if she was forced to continue with her pregnancy.
And in many ways the same-sex marriage referendum is just one stage in church-state relations before the main confrontation - the repeal of the eighth amendment to the constitution that gives an equal right to life to the mother and the unborn.
The referendum on this in 1983 was extraordinarily divisive and left a bitter taste in the mouths of many involved.
While another referendum on repealing the amendment is unlikely until after the next election, both sides are already preparing for it.
Those wanting change argue that it currently prevents terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality, where the foetus cannot survive outside the womb, and where a pregnancy has resulted from rape or incest.
Those seeking the retention of the amendment - and it's not just the Catholic Church and other Christian institutions - argue from a human rights point of view that the foetus or unborn child also has a right to life.
But that's all for another day.
I began with WB Yeats but I'll finish with, perhaps, the best known Irish gay man, Oscar Wilde.
The phrase "the love that dare not speak its name" comes from a poem by his lover Lord Alfred Douglas and was mentioned at Wilde's gross indecency trial that would see him jailed.
After the same-sex referendum result, not any longer, Oscar, not any longer.
She will sample the culinary histories of stately homes and create new recipes inspired by her visits in Mary Berry's Secrets From Britain's Great Houses.
In September, she announced she would not remain as a judge on Bake Off when it moves from BBC One to Channel 4.
In a statement, she said she was "so excited" to be doing the new six-part series with the BBC.
"I have always had an enquiring mind so I know I will be inspired by the great houses we visit," she said.
BBC director of content Charlotte Moore said: "This series will be a real treat for BBC One viewers to go behind the scenes with Mary Berry and explore Britain's great houses through her love of cooking."
Berry will reveal the workings of the houses and visit the kitchens, gardens and private rooms - as well as meeting the current custodians - in each 30-minute episode.
The 81-year-old made her name as a cookery writer and has judged The Great British Bake Off with Paul Hollywood since its launch in 2010.
The most recent series, which finished last week, was the last series to be seen on BBC One.
However Berry, Hollywood and hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc will be seen in two Bake Off Christmas specials, which have already been filmed.
Tanya Shaw, managing director at Shine TV, which is producing Berry's new series, said: "I can't think of anyone more perfect to tell the stories of these great households and to bring us such a unique insight into Britain's rich culinary past."

Linda Camborne-Paynter's two terriers escaped from her car after the crash at about 18:00 GMT on Thursday outside Sweetshouse near Lostwithiel, Cornwall.
Dexter - who was found yesterday - had joined the search for his brother Snowey this morning.
Mrs Camborne-Paynter is still in hospital having broken both her arms in the crash.
The family had launched a campaign to find Snowey, including issuing a poster which said the dog had "pegged it" because he was nervous.
Tesla will raise the money by selling bonds to professional investors, despite the company having $3bn in cash.
The company says it has 518,000 orders for its new car, whose price starts at $35,000.
Initial production of the Model 3 started in July, with a target of 400,000 to be made next year.
Tesla, which also makes batteries and solar panels, has been burning through its cash at a rapid rate.
The company's founder and boss, Elon Musk, said at the vehicle's formal launch in July that making the Model 3 would lead to "six months of manufacturing hell", as it tries to make 100,000 of the cars this year at its California factory.
Some observers have predicted that the company, which has yet to make a profit, will use up at least $2bn this year, hence the need for more cash.
The Tesla bonds will have to be repaid to investors in eight years but the interest rate on offer to investors has not yet been decided.
Tesla has $3bn in its cash pile, but it is easy to see why it wants more.
The company has already proved that it can build high-performance, long-range electric cars.
The Model S and Model X have an enthusiastic following.
Now it has begun delivering its new, more basic and more affordable Model 3.
But building luxury premium cars for a small, wealthy and enthusiastic market is one thing.
Becoming a viable, mass-market manufacturer is quite another - especially when the mass market for electric cars does not actually exist yet.
Tesla built just under 84,000 cars last year and it hopes to be producing 520,000 annually by 2018.
That is a huge step forward, particularly for a company which saw production in the first half of this year slowed because of a shortage of batteries.
Tesla is throwing money at the problem, and is expected to burn through $2bn this year.
But why is Tesla being so ambitious? Why not build up production more slowly?
Well, the electric car market is about to get a lot more crowded.
Major manufacturers such as VW, Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover all have high performance electric vehicles in the pipeline, while Renault-Nissan already dominates the more affordable end of the market.
Tesla's brand has a Silicon Valley cachet that other manufacturers cannot match, for the moment.
But if it is to become a high-volume manufacturer, it needs to use that cachet to build its market share - or risk being sidelined when the more established auto giants roll out their new models.
The Old Trafford and Wales legend would also consider managing a Championship club provided it matches his "ambitions and vision".
"Managing your national team is the pinnacle or the club that you played for. For me Manchester United - that's the pinnacle," he said.
"Whether it happens or not, I don't know, but you'd always be open to it."
The 42-year-old former winger has been on what he called a sabbatical since ending a 29-year association with United in June following the appointment of Jose Mourinho as manager.
He had been interim manager at Old Trafford and was assistant to Louis van Gaal before Mourinho replaced the Dutchman.
Giggs added: "As a player I was a winner and I want to be the same as a manager, whether it be dropping down to the Championship, whether it be in the Premier League - I've got no preference," he told BBC Wales.
"It has to be the right club and have the same ambitions and visions as I do."
He was recently linked with the Swansea City job that American Bob Bradley has filled following Francesco Guidolin's sacking, but said "a few things" prevented him taking over at Liberty Stadium.
Under current manager Chris Coleman, Wales reached their first major championships since 1958 and progressed to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
Coleman signed a fresh deal with the Football Association of Wales in May this year and has said he will move on when their 2018 World Cup campaign concludes.
Giggs believes Coleman could still conceivably stay longer: "That could change [his mind]. He could stay on, we never know.
"Whoever takes over if Chris decides to leave after two years will be inheriting a team that has been the most successful in Wales for the last 50 years."
In a statement on his Twitter account, Mr Carr said he was no longer involved in the K2 tax shelter.
Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday called Mr Carr's use of the scheme "morally wrong".
But the PM refused to comment on Take That star Gary Barlow's tax affairs - saying it was a different case - after Labour called for his OBE to removed.
The K2 tax scheme used by Mr Carr is a way of lowering the amount of tax paid. It is legal and Mr Carr made clear in his statement it was fully disclosed to HMRC.
In a
series of messages on Twitter
Mr Carr said: "I appreciate as a comedian, people will expect me to 'make light' of this situation, but I'm not going to in this statement.
"As this is obviously a serious matter. I met with a financial advisor and he said to me 'Do you want to pay less tax? It's totally legal'. I said 'Yes'."
"I now realise I've made a terrible error of judgement.
"Although I've been advised the K2 Tax scheme is entirely legal, and has been fully disclosed to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs).

Do regular taxpayers care whether a comedian pays his tax? Or do they think it a joke that he, and hundreds of others, are given the opportunity to avoid paying it?
The government says it wants to put an end to "contrived" avoidance schemes. It needs the extra tax income after all.
Next year it plans to bring in a new general anti-abuse rule, to stop cunning schemes designed solely to avoid tax.
But accountants are lining up to argue that the line between artificial avoidance and legitimate tax planning is blurred - and the proposals will not end disputes entirely.
Which side of the line is sheltering your family from inheritance tax? And what about tax breaks for investing in small businesses?
Clearly Jimmy Carr's "error of judgement" will not be the punchline to this story.
Most common tax avoidance schemes
When is tax dodging illegal?
"I'm no longer involved in it and will in future conduct my financial affairs much more responsibly. Apologies to everyone. Jimmy Carr."
More than 1,000 people, including Mr Carr, are thought to be using the Jersey-based K2 scheme, which is said to be sheltering £168m a year from the Treasury.
Under the K2 scheme, an individual resigns from their company and any salary they subsequently receive is paid to an offshore trust.
Downing Street welcomed Mr Carr's apology.
A spokeswoman said: "HMRC are working hard to investigate the sort of scheme that Jimmy Carr had been reported to be involved in to ensure that they are not aggressively avoiding tax, and, if they are, they are closed down."
She defended Mr Cameron's decision to speak out about an individual's tax affairs - in contravention of normal government practice.
"The prime minister was expressing what probably lots of people felt after reading the coverage," she said.
Business Secretary Vince Cable also backed the prime minister, telling BBC Radio Sheffield he was not prepared to go "through a hit-list of our celebrities" but adding: "We just want people to pay their dues."
The Lib Dem minister said he did not use tax avoidance schemes himself and that, as far he knows, no members of the cabinet did either, saying: "We observe the law... but also try to set an example."
According to The Times newspaper, which first published details of Mr Carr's tax arrangements, the K2 scheme enables members to pay income tax rates as low as 1%.
The prime minister was asked about Mr Carr's arrangement on Wednesday during a visit to Mexico for the G20 summit.
He told ITV News the comedian's tax affairs were "straightforward tax avoidance" and it was unfair on the people who pay to watch the comic perform that he was not paying his taxes in the same way that they did.
"I think some of these schemes - and I think particularly of the Jimmy Carr scheme - I have had time to read about and I just think this is completely wrong.
"People work hard, they pay their taxes, they save up to go to one of his shows. They buy the tickets. He is taking the money from those tickets and he, as far as I can see, is putting all of that into some very dodgy tax avoiding schemes.
"That is wrong. There is nothing wrong with people planning their tax affairs to invest in their pension and plan for their retirement - that sort of tax management is fine.
"But some of these schemes we have seen are quite frankly morally wrong. The government is acting by looking at a general anti-avoidance law but we do need to make progress on this.
"It is not fair on hard working people who do the right thing and pay their taxes to see these sorts of scams taking place."
Labour leader Ed Miliband opted not to join in with the chorus of criticism of the 8 Out of 10 Cats star's tax affairs.
He said: "I'm not in favour of tax avoidance obviously, but I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality.
"I think what the politicians need to do is - if the wrong thing is happening - change the law to prevent that tax avoidance happening."
Shadow leader of the House of Commons Angela Eagle turned her fire on Take That star Gary Barlow, who with two bandmates, is facing questions about £26m they are alleged to have invested in a scheme that is facing a legal challenge from HMRC.
The Labour MP said: "The prime minister rushed to the TV studios to condemn the tax avoidance scheme used by Jimmy Carr but he did not take the opportunity to condemn as morally repugnant the tax avoidance scheme used by Conservative supporter Gary Barlow, who's given a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Take That'.
"If it's all so morally repugnant, why has he just been given an OBE in the birthday honours list?
"Why is the prime minister's view of what's dodgy in the tax system so partial? Sir Philip Green has interesting tax arrangements but far from being labelled morally repugnant in a Mexico TV studio, he's got a government review to head up."
Retail magnate Sir Philip has firmly denied avoiding hundreds of millions of pounds in tax by transferring ownership of his Arcadia business, saying that Arcadia was bought by his wife, Lady Green, in 2002 and because she has not lived in the UK for 15 years no tax was due on any dividends that were paid to her.
During a joint press conference with Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi Mr Cameron declined to comment on Mr Barlow's tax affairs.
He said he was not "going to give a running commentary on different people's tax affairs", and said he had made "an exception yesterday... it was a particularly egregious example".
Mr Carr, who has satirised "fat cat" bankers, is reported to protect £3.3m a year from tax by channelling cash through the K2 scheme, which is under investigation by HMRC.
The comedian is thought to be one of more than 1,000 beneficiaries who shelter some £168m from the taxman each year using the company.
Pembrokeshire council said the police vehicle was left "unattended and unoccupied" in a loading bay on Castle Square, Haverfordwest, on Monday.
Rachel Gratton took the photograph, posted it on Facebook where it attracted a big response.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said the fine will be paid.
The 26-year-old Scot's victory at Meadowbank also ensured he stretched his unbeaten record to nine fights.
Joubert, 35, came into the bout having lost only four of his 35 fights and he managed to inflict Taylor's first cut as a professional.
That, however, did nothing to stop the man from Prestonpans sealing the win.
Taylor, who with every triumph is edging closer to a British title fight, had admitted before the bout that he knew very little about his opponent.
That contributed to a cagey first round from both but the Scot undoubtedly held the advantage over the more experienced South African.
And the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist upped his work-rate in the second round, catching Joubert with a sharp left hook early on that had him rocking on his heels.
Taylor picked up a cut in the early rounds but it was unclear whether that was the result of a shot or a clash of heads.
The Scot maintained his offensive intensity in round three with a flurry of punches to the body that sapped the energy from his rival. Joubert could not cope with Taylor's hand-speed and time and again he was forced back into the corner of the ring.
In the fifth round Taylor looked to press home his advantage, having clearly worked out his opponent's style and found holes in his defences. Another trademark left hook shook the South African but the round finished before the Scot could inflict any more punishment.
The bell only delayed the inevitable, though, and after one minute and 27 seconds of the sixth round Taylor unleashed a series of punches that left Joubert on the deck. The South African got to his feet but his corner had thrown in the towel before the referee could count to 10.
It was a well deserved win for Taylor, who has previously expressed a desire to meet countryman and WBA super lightweight champion Ricky Burns in a Scottish super-fight.
Reporter Linton Besser and cameraman Louie Eroglu, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, said they were not deported but escorted through the airport by police.
The pair approached Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday asking about corruption claims, which he denies.
Their detention had raised concerns over press freedom.
It was thought they would be charged with obstructing a public official but the charges were dropped, the ABC said. Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu arrived in Singapore on Tuesday.
Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Malaysia was not obstructing the media, but that foreign media workers "must perform their duties according to the journalism ethics".
For months, the Malaysian government has discouraged scrutiny over the corruption allegations, including blocking news outlets that have reported extensively on them.
Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu had approached Mr Najib while he was visiting a mosque in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak state.
They attempted to ask Mr Najib about a $681m (£478m) payment from the 1MDB state investment fund to his personal account.
Mr Najib has been cleared of personal wrongdoing by Malaysian prosecutors but a number of international investigations are ongoing.
A statement issued by Malaysian police to news agency Bernama said the two men crossed a "security line and aggressively tried to approach the prime minister".
"Both of them were subsequently arrested for failing to comply with police instructions not to cross the security line," the statement said.
In an email to staff, the ABC's director of news, Gaven Morris, said Mr Besser and Mr Eroglu did not believe they had crossed a police line and had not obstructed officials.
He said they had "fully co-operated with the police" and were receiving consular and legal support.
Gray, 26, previously played club rugby for Newcastle Falcons and London Irish.
Bath-born defensive end Alex Jenkins, 24, will train with the New Orleans Saints, while London-raised Efe Obada, 25, will join the Carolina Panthers.
They will be ineligible to play in the NFL in 2017, but will train full-time.
Their signings come after the NFL opened up an 11th practice squad place for franchises in the NFC South division - which was chosen at random - to be used on an overseas player, who will hope to earn a contract for 2018.
Before converting to American football, Gray signed for English Championship rugby outfit Yorkshire Carnegie for 2016-17, after an injury ruled him out of representing Great Britain in rugby sevens at Rio 2016.
He previously captained an England Under-20s side that included current senior national team stars George Ford, Owen Farrell, Elliot Daly, Jonathan Joseph and Mako Vunipola.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Jenkins has previously played for Bath City Academy and the Bristol Aztecs before earning a scholarship to play college football at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas.
In April, the former supermarket worker revealed to BBC Points West that he took up the sport after watching Adam Sandler's 2005 movie 'The Longest Yard'.
"It feels too good to be true," he told the NFL website. "The fact that the Saints will be playing in London this season [at Wembley Stadium on 1 October] makes it even more exciting for me." | New York City have until 31 December to trigger a one-year extension to Frank Lampard's contract.

Peaches, who was 24, died after taking a heroin overdose earlier this year.
The Boomtown Rats singer and activist said he "goes over and over and over" what he could have done to help the mother of two.
In an ITV News interview he described the journalist, model and TV presenter as "super bright" but "frantic" in her private life.
Peaches was found dead by her husband Tom Cohen at their home in Wrotham, Kent, on 7 April.
"You blame yourself," admitted Sir Bob Geldof. "You're the father who is responsible and clearly failed.
"For anybody watching, who has a dead kid and you're a parent, you go back, you go back, you go over, you go over.
"What could you have done? You do as much as you can."
He said newspaper criticism of his daughters following the death of their mother Paula Yates in 2000 had also "damaged" them.
Asked if he knew about his daughter's drug addiction, he said: "Of course I knew about it and we did more than talk about it, yeah. She was super bright. Too bright.

The 26-year-old Scot's victory at Meadowbank also ensured he stretched his unbeaten record to nine fights.
Joubert, 35, came into the bout having lost only four of his 35 fights and he managed to inflict Taylor's first cut as a professional.
That, however, did nothing to stop the man from Prestonpans sealing the win.
Taylor, who with every triumph is edging closer to a British title fight, had admitted before the bout that he knew very little about his opponent.
That contributed to a cagey first round from both but the Scot undoubtedly held the advantage over the more experienced South African.
And the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist upped his work-rate in the second round, catching Joubert with a sharp left hook early on that had him rocking on his heels.
Taylor picked up a cut in the early rounds but it was unclear whether that was the result of a shot or a clash of heads.
The Scot maintained his offensive intensity in round three with a flurry of punches to the body that sapped the energy from his rival. Joubert could not cope with Taylor's hand-speed and time and again he was forced back into the corner of the ring.
In the fifth round Taylor looked to press home his advantage, having clearly worked out his opponent's style and found holes in his defences. Another trademark left hook shook the South African but the round finished before the Scot could inflict any more punishment.
The bell only delayed the inevitable, though, and after one minute and 27 seconds of the sixth round Taylor unleashed a series of punches that left Joubert on the deck. The South African got to his feet but his corner had thrown in the towel before the referee could count to 10.
It was a well deserved win for Taylor, who has previously expressed a desire to meet countryman and WBA super lightweight champion Ricky Burns in a Scottish super-fight. | Josh Taylor successfully defended his Commonwealth super-lightweight title with an impressive sixth-round stoppage of South Africa's Warren Joubert. | 39,387,893 | 441 | 31 | false |

Bahmani Ahmadi, 22, is awaiting sentencing after admitting 18 charges, including sexual assault and grooming.
Northumbria Police said he was arrested and released without charge in 2012 after complaints he had sex with a 15-year-old-girl from a care home.
The force said he had subsequently been convicted of the offence.
Temporary assistant chief constable Debbie Ford said: "We did investigate him at the time, but at the time we found there was no case to answer and we didn't take it any further forward."
Ahmadi was questioned but a senior officer decided that no further action should be taken and the case was not referred to the Crown Prosecution Service.
Ahmadi, of Hampstead Road, Benwell, was arrested in 2014 as part of Operation Sanctuary - a police inquiry into the sexual abuse and grooming of vulnerable young women on Tyneside.
Ms Ford said: "We are going to look at the investigation into the case, our professional standards department are investigating that matter now and it's difficult for me to comment any further in relation to how that investigation may pan out in the future.
"We're trying to understand the reasons why the investigation was concluded without any charges being brought back in 2012.
"I would assure the public we will do everything we can to make sure that that investigation is carried out thoroughly and properly and if any issues arise from that investigation, they will be dealt with robustly."
The force is continuing to investigate Ahmadi, who "relentlessly" pursued victims as young as 11 online.
He posed as a 14-year-old named Holly to befriend his targets and plied many of them with alcohol.
Northumbria Police Det Supt Steve Barron said he was "possibly the most dangerous person" he had come across in 22 years of policing.
Ahmadi will be sentenced in July at Newcastle Crown Court.
The former PM told the BBC the vote was a "catastrophe" and said it was vital to study the "real-life implications".
Mr Blair said he accepted the verdict of June's referendum, but recommended looking again at Brexit when "we have a clear sense of where we're going".
Downing Street said it was "absolutely committed" to seeing Brexit through.
A spokesman said the British people had expressed their view very clearly on 23 June, when 51.9% of voters opted to leave the EU, adding: "There will be no second referendum."
Supporters of leaving the EU argue it will free up the UK to trade better globally and give the government better control of immigration.
But Mr Blair told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he believed the Brexit vote was a catastrophe and argued that it was important that the views of the "16 million" people who had backed remaining in the EU should not be ignored.
He added: "If it becomes clear that this is either a deal that doesn't make it worth our while leaving, or alternatively a deal that's going to be so serious in its implications people may decide they don't want to go, there's got to be some way, either through Parliament, or an election, or possibly through another referendum, in which people express their view."
But he said the vote for Brexit could not be changed "unless it becomes clear that the British people have had a change of mind".
Mr Blair's interview followed an article in the New European newspaper in which he said those who believed in the EU "have to recognise we're the insurgents now".
"We have to build the capability to mobilise and to organise. We have to prise apart the alliance which gave us Brexit."
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell tweeted that Mr Blair was "seeking to de-legitimise and reverse" the referendum result.
The government has promised to invoke Article 50 - setting formal talks with the EU in motion - by the end of March next year.
It says it will not provide a "running commentary" on its stance before negotiations for leaving the EU begin but has pledged to make Brexit work for the whole country.
Mr Blair told the BBC it was unclear what the outcome of negotiations, in terms of restrictions of movement of people and access to the single market, would be, adding: "We will start to see the real-life implications of this decision to go."
"We've got to work out: are the freedoms that we are going to gain really so substantial that we want to leave the European Union?"
He warned of the talks with the EU: "I'm convinced that it's going to be very, very tough. We have to understand we are not going to be conducting these negotiations with a group of European businessmen who might well decide that they want maximum access to the UK...
"The people we are going to be conducting these negotiations with are the political leaders of the European Union and their parliaments.
"I'm arguing we should keep our options open," he said.
Mr Blair, who was prime minister between 1997 and 2007, announced last month that he was winding up most of his commercial ventures to focus on not-for-profit work.
In 2004, Mr Blair said a UK referendum would be held on ratification of the European Constitution Treaty, creating, among other measures, a European Council president and a "common defence policy". But voters in France and the Netherlands rejected the treaty, which was discarded.
In 2007, the Labour government rejected calls for a referendum on a second treaty, which came to be known as the Lisbon Treaty, arguing it was a different document and a UK referendum was not needed.
Earlier this month, Mr Blair told Esquire magazine he was considering whether there was a "role" for him in UK politics, having not been actively involved for almost a decade.
Helen and Rab Jeffrey said cuts to existing bus services had made life difficult for residents in the town, near Falkirk, to travel to work.
Scotland's bus network is mainly run by private companies that do not have to maintain unprofitable services.
The Scottish government said it was spending almost £250m a year on buses.
Scotland's buses were deregulated by the Margaret Thatcher government more than 30 years ago.
The Unite union petitioned the Scottish Parliament on Thursday to reform the way Scotland's bus network is run, saying communities are being let down by privately-operated routes, leading to falling passenger numbers and rising fares.
Mrs Jeffrey said people had used a regular bus service for years which took them 16 miles directly to Edinburgh city centre. But she told BBC Scotland the service now ran only in the mornings and evening.
"For a while I had to stop going to events, to educational stuff to do research and I've even turned down work in Edinburgh," she said.
"I've even thought about thumbing a lift to Edinburgh because there's so many commuters, single-occupancy, that drive past our former bus stop very near us going into Edinburgh."
Mr Jeffrey added: "Office workers are catered for, nobody else. Anybody that wants to visit hospital has to take another route.
"Anybody that wants to visit relatives has to take a different route. Anybody that wants to socialise has to take a different route.
"Anybody that wants to go to university, college or any other facility has to take a different route."
Routes in rural areas are particularly vulnerable to cuts as they are more likely to be non-profitable.
Transport firm Prentice Westwood said it used to run subsidised buses between Bo'ness and Edinburgh, until Falkirk Council withdrew their subsidy.
The company told BBC Scotland that the reduced service was now the only cost-effective solution.
George Mair, the director of the Confederation of Passenger Transport which speaks for bus firms across Scotland, said: "Quite often the bus that goes missing can be the bus that is being supported by the local authority.
"The financial challenges that they've got have made that a difficult area for them to continue to support. The industry tries its best and by working in partnership with local authorities we can get the best outcome for everyone."
The Jeffreys now plan to set up a community bus service for Bo'ness and the surrounding area. They will run a 10-week pilot service from Bo'ness to Edinburgh, with one bus in the morning that will return in the afternoon, five days a week.
Mr Jeffrey said: "Hopefully that will give us an opportunity to iron out any deficiencies in our programme and to prepare the way for delivering an expanded service after the trial period has finished.
"I'm sure it'll work because the demand is here and we're going to make it work."
The James Bond film, which was rated 12A, received 40 complaints that focused on its scenes of violence.
Released last October, it featured Daniel Craig's 007 battling a criminal syndicate.
Other films that generated public feedback to the BBFC included Kingsman: The Secret Service and Minions.
According to the BBFC's annual report, published on Friday, Spectre's distributor sought advice on how it could secure a 12A classification during the film's post-production.
"One scene involving an eye-gouging was slightly too strong for the company's preferred 12A classification," the report said.
"We therefore suggested reductions to this scene. What remains in the classified version of the scene is a brief implication of what is happening, with only limited visual detail."
Another scene, showing the bloody aftermath of a suicide, was similarly reduced.
The BBFC added that a separate torture scene involving a "larger-than-life hero" like Bond contained a "lack of detail" that made it acceptable for a 12A rating.
Kingsman: The Secret Service, which starred Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton and Michael Caine, generated 38 complaints.
Many concerned the level of violence in the 15-rated comedy spy thriller, particularly during a fight scene in a church.
The BBFC said it saw a version of the film before it was complete and "offered advice" on how to achieve the distributor's desired 15 rating. Otherwise, it pointed out, the film would have been classified 18.
"While there are some strong moments of violence in the film, they are relatively brief and do not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury to the extent they require an 18 classification," the BBFC said.
U-rated animated comedy Minions received 16 complaints. They mainly concerned a scene set in a medieval-style torture dungeon.
"The Minions are stretched on a rack, where it is apparent that they do not come to any harm, and this develops into them slipping unharmed through a noose and playing with the gallows," the BBFC said.
"The scene takes place in an unrealistic, comic and slapstick manner which is likely to be familiar to young viewers, who expect the Minions to survive.
"The realistic risk of harmful imitation is very low indeed."

Morris, 23, had two years remaining on his contract but has now signed an extended deal tying him to New Road until the end of 2018.
"We're very excited about Charlie and have been since we saw him up at Oxford University playing against us," said director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
"He has got the ability when things are not quite right to make contributions."
In a succession of concluded contract talks over the final two months of the 2015 season, Ross Whiteley has signed on for another four years, Brett D'Oliveira, Joe Leach, Joe Clarke, Tom Fell and Ed Barnard have all signed three-year deals, while Tom Kohler-Cadmore last week committed to New Road for the next two years.
"The club is going in the right direction," said Morris. "There are a lot of promising players coming through and, although it's disappointing we've been relegated, there are positives to take from the 2015 season.
"We know as a team we probably could have won a few more games from the positions we got ourselves in. But we have learnt a huge amount.
"You don't always have a smooth path to the top. The average age of the team is very young and the experience we gained this year from playing some of the sides we have come up against is invaluable."
It means the bank has now set aside more than £13bn in compensation.
Last month, Lloyds was fined a record £117m by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) over the mis-sold PPI.
The bank said profits for the six months to the end of June were £1.19bn, compared with £863m a year earlier.
The PPI charge had been widely expected. The three months to the end of June mark the last quarter in which the bank can make set aside PPI compensation against its corporation tax bill.
Lloyds called the additional provision for PPI "disappointing". It said the extra provision reflected "higher than expected reactive complaints with higher associated redress".
The bank said it had identified about 1.2 million previously defended PPI complaints for re-review at the end of 2014.
That had now increased to 1.4 million cases, the banks said.
Those cases were being reviewed after the FCA fined the bank as a result of an investigation into the way that some 2.3 million complaints were handled.
The FCA found the bank mis-handled complaints between March 2012 and May 2013
The bank also recorded a previously reported loss of £660m on the sale of TSB to Banco Sabadell, which it said was now complete.
Lloyds' chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio said: "Today's results demonstrate the strong progress we have made in the first half of the year.
"We remain focused on our aim to become the best bank for customer sand shareholders, while at the same time supporting the UK economy."
The government has reduced its stake in the bank from 43% at the height of the financial crisis to 15%. The government has been steadily reducing its stake in the bank over the past year with share sales to institutional investors.
It is expected that the government may announce a discounted share sale to the public - similar to many of the privatisations that took place in the 1980s - in the early half of next year, when its stake is set to be as low at 5%.
Sir Cliff met officers by appointment and was not arrested or charged.
It comes after police searched his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, on 14 August as part of their investigation.
The veteran pop star denies the alleged offence, saying the claim of an assault at a religious event in Sheffield in 1985 is "completely false".
South Yorkshire Police confirmed it had spoken to a 73-year-old man.
A police spokesman said: "The man was interviewed under caution but was not arrested. He entered South Yorkshire Police premises by arrangement."
A spokesman for Sir Cliff said: "Today Sir Cliff Richard voluntarily met with and was interviewed by members of South Yorkshire Police. He was not arrested or charged.
"He co-operated fully with officers and answered the questions put to him.
"Other than restating that this allegation is completely false and that he will continue to co-operate fully with the police, it would not be appropriate for Sir Cliff to say anything further at this time."
The BBC has been criticised for its coverage of the search after it found out about the operation in advance and sent cameras to Sir Cliff's home when officers arrived.
The BBC has previously confirmed that its source relating to the police investigation was not the South Yorkshire force.
The BBC says its journalists "acted appropriately" in its coverage but police have accused the corporation of a "cover-up" afterwards over what it had known.
The bosses of both the BBC and the South Yorkshire Police have been summoned to appear before the Home Affairs Select Committee to explain how the broadcaster knew of the search in advance.
The allegation against Sir Cliff relates to an assault claim at an event featuring US preacher Billy Graham at the Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield in 1985, the BBC understands.
Keiron Lavery, 20, from Meadowbrook in the Tullygally area, made the calls between May 2013 and January this year.
He also admitted two counts of placing an article with intent to cause a bomb hoax in the Craigavon areas.
He was sentenced to 34 months, half of which will be served in prison and half on supervised licence upon his release.
Belfast Crown Court was told Lavery had asked to be moved from Hydebank Young Offenders Centre to the dissident republican wing of Maghaberry Prison after he was attacked in his cell by three inmates.
Passing sentence, a judge said the cost of policing Lavery's offending amounted to almost £30,000.
He said due to the threat posed to police officers by dissident republicans, he could not dismiss the hoax calls as "pranks", especially given Lavery's interests in dissident republican activity.
However, he told Lavery: "It is clear you are a suggestible person and you may not have had the ability to resist suggestions made to you by other more sinister elements."
Only three days left until British voters head to the polls, and the outcome of the 2015 general election is still very much up in the air.
Just about a month ago, Campaignspotting took a break from the start of the long - oh, so long - US presidential race to spend a week observing the kickoff of the blessedly short UK campaign. Now we're back for the furious race to the finish line.
In the hours and days after Parliament was dissolved and the politicians hit the campaign trail, pundits and prognosticators described what they saw as the lay of the political landscape.
Labour and the Conservatives were neck and neck, but neither party appeared anywhere near garnering enough seats to obtain the majority necessary to form a government.
The Liberal Democrats, the darlings of the 2010 campaign and the coalition-forming key to Downing Street for David Cameron and the Tories, were on the ropes - staring at sizeable losses.
The UK Independence Party, fresh off impressive wins in elections to the European Parliament, were polling in the mid-teens but appeared destined to capture only a handful of seats.
Meanwhile Scottish voters, who had rejected independence in 2014, seemed more than willing to back Scottish National Party candidates en masse, turning a former bastion of Labour support into a free-agent faction.
Now, after debates, the interviews, the speeches, the billboard slogans and the door-to-door electioneering, it looks like ... almost nothing has been settled. If the polls are to be trusted, the fundamentals of this election are baked into the cake, as US political analysts like to say. A hung Parliament, where no one can form a governing majority, could be in store - and the possible political permutations arising from that outcome makes one's head spin.
Will anything shift the balance in the last days of the campaign? And, if not, what does the future hold?
In this last week of Campaignspotting, UK style, we're starting in Scotland, which could play kingmaker come next Friday.
Then we'll head toward London where, in back rooms after the votes have been cast, the next leader of the UK could emerge.
There's little time left and so much on the line.

He said it was "full circle" as it was where he started, aged 11, when he played Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi in 1983.
He spoke to BBC reporter Chloe Culpan, in Bristol, where he is starring in the Christmas Pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Admiral began a recruitment drive earlier this year and on Monday it announced that an extra 130 jobs in Newport, 100 in Swansea and 50 in Cardiff would be available.

Favaro has made 29 appearances since he joined from Benetton Treviso in 2015, but the 28-year-old has not been offered a new contract.
However, coach Gregor Townsend said: "He is still a key player for us as we enter a period of important games."
The 22-year-old Sears-Duru has played only four times.
He was part of Canada's 2015 World Cup squad and joined Warriors last summer after leaving Ontario Blues but has been loaned out this season to Scottish Premiership club Ayr.
Favaro, capped 34 times for Italy, was voted Glasgow's 2015-16 player of the season but has played 10 times during the current campaign.
However, the club have already signed Callum Gibbins from Super Rugby champions Hurricanes as a replacement for next season.
"Simone has been a very popular figure at the club over the last couple of years and always puts in total commitment every time he plays," added Townsend.
PC Kevin Hughes, who worked in Newham, east London, denied using threatening words or behaviour and racially-aggravated harassment while on duty.
He was sacked for gross misconduct in relation to authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct.
Another officer received a final written warning over his conduct.
Colleagues brought the behaviour of PC Hughes and PC David Hair to the attention of the senior management in the force.
The issue was initially referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
It conducted an independent inquiry, after which the officers were summonsed.
Both officers were cleared by Westminster Magistrates' Court in November last year.
But PC Hughes was dismissed following a misconduct hearing on Thursday.
The Met said that although the case against the second officer was found proven, the hearing panel took into account the opinion of a witness that he did not intend to cause offence.
Commander Allan Gibson from the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards said: "The commissioner has made it quite clear that racism is not acceptable within the Met.
"This is a view supported by the majority of officers and staff, which has been demonstrated by those who were prepared to challenge PC Hughes.
"The public have an absolute right to expect that serving officers serving treat them and their colleagues with respect and courtesy and that they do not hold discriminatory opinions."
Bella, an English springer spaniel, was taken from outside Tesco in Rothwell in October. CCTV showed a man untying her.
Earlier this week, she was found 130 miles (210km) away in Bristol and reunited with the Osborne family.
Her owner said she was "in very good spirits" but her paw injuries "suggested she had tried to escape".
Sarah and Philip Osborne had been searching for Bella since she was stolen moments after Mr Osborne popped into the shop.
After four months she was spotted by a shopkeeper in Bristol, who took her inside believing her to be a stray.
"A family came in trying to claim her, but the woman refused to hand Bella over because she was cowering under the counter," Mr Osborne said.
Bella was scanned and her microchip led the RSPCA to the Osbornes.
They were reunited with Bella in Bristol on Wednesday.
Back home, Mr Osborne said 48 hours after her ordeal ended, Bella had settled in well, recognised all the old smells and "most bizarrely it's like she's never been away".
However, she needs on-going treatment for several injuries sustained during her time away.
"She had been well-fed, but has sores on her paws where she'd been scratching to get out of wherever she was," Mr Osborne said.
She also has problems with her ears, eyes and gums.
"Bella must have been desperately unhappy.
"She smelt like a farmyard so must have been kept outside which is not what Bella knows," he added.
Mr Osborne took her for her first proper walk on Thursday evening.
"We were swamped by people asking about Bella. It was 45 minutes before we could finish our walk," he said.
"I just want people to know how important it is to microchip your pets. The chip is the be-all and end-all."
Northamptonshire and Bristol Police are investigating.

Volunteers from the Tynemouth Station were called earlier to manoeuvre the Tres Hombres - a Brigantine-type sailing ship - into port, after the motor launch it relies on broke down.
With strong winds forecast, there was concern the engineless cargo ship would have been in a precarious situation.
It was towed into the River Tyne and moored at North Shields quayside.
Adrian Don, from Tynemouth RNLI, said: "This is one of the most unusual services our volunteer crew members have carried out and the casualty vessel is unique as the world's only engineless sailing cargo ship.
"The Tres Hombres and her crew were in no immediate danger but having no engine and with her launch broken down, they had no means of safely getting into harbour.
"With very poor weather expected her skipper had no alternative but to ask for assistance."
It's been a long, long flight, and the in-flight movie system is on the blink.
The kid that started the journey off as being cute has kicked you in the back of the seat for the last couple of hours, and for 45 minutes you've been going round, and round, and round, and round, making circles in the sky.
Suddenly, the crew take their seats and it's time to land. Praise be!
But then, once you're on the ground, you sigh to yourself again. You have to stretch up to grapple your heavy carry on out of the overhead locker, then the queue at passport control, then that sinking feeling at the carousel as the number of bags on the belt dwindles.
Yup, yours is stuck somewhere in the system and, oh dear, as you head for the train to get back into town, there are engineering works - frankly, it might have been easier to stay on the plane.
The government wants you to see its decision finally to approve a third runway as a triumphant landing - a break with past dithering and indecision, a bold statement that makes the clichés ring true - "We are open for business", even after the referendum we are an "outward-looking nation", and the prime minister is willing to make the difficult decisions in the "national interest".
Most businesses are delighted (just don't mention Gatwick). Even Labour is now saying it wants to put "years of procrastination and delay" behind us.
It is fair to say that Theresa May's government has been able to decide when others have not. The most recent delay came when David Cameron did not want to damage Zac Goldsmith's chances in the London Mayoral election - not that it saved him from defeat in the end.
But the decision isn't the end of it. MPs won't vote on the plan for Heathrow until the end of next year after a more detailed blueprint is produced.
Hundreds of homes need to be demolished in west London. With that and the noise levels there will be enormous resistance among the residents of the area.
And that translates directly into political resistance - not least from two members of the cabinet, Boris Johnson and Justine Greening. And a by-election before Christmas with the resignation of Mr Goldsmith, who looks certain to hold to his vow of quitting as an MP over the decision.
Then there will be complaints in the courts - judicial reviews likely to be launched within days, possibly from rival airports or environmental groups.
And of course, what about the rest of the country? Ministers say this is a decision that will benefit everyone - the SNP supports Heathrow, but there is long-term frustration outside the South East that this decision is part of a continued and obsessive focus on London.
Yet ministers will be relieved at least to have got this far. Theresa May was 11 years old when the first inquiry into expanding runways in the South East began. Given the long, long history of prevarication, this part of the journey has been painful enough.
Metropolitan Police chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said that the system "rewards" the public for being lax about internet security.
He said a rethink might alter behaviour over passwords and security software.
Consumer group Which? said the burden of protection should lie with banks.
"With online fraud increasing, this is an astonishingly misjudged proposal from the Met Police Commissioner," said Which? executive director Richard Lloyd.
"When we investigated last year, we found too often that banks were dragging their feet when dealing with fraud. The priority should be for banks to better protect their customers, rather than trying to shift blame on to the victims of fraud."
Losses due to internet banking fraud in the UK rose by 64% in 2015 compared with a year earlier, to £133.5m.
Customers who become the victims of online fraud can expect to receive a full refund on any losses from their bank or card supplier, unless they have been "grossly negligent".
In relation to these refunds, Sir Bernard told the Times: "If you are continually rewarded for bad behaviour you will probably continue to do it but if the obverse is true you might consider changing behaviour.
"The system is not incentivising you to protect yourself. If someone said to you, 'If you've not updated your software I will give you half back', you would do it."
The comments were also criticised by Saga, which offers services for older people.
"Blaming the victims of crime is no way for anyone to behave let alone the Metropolitan Police Commissioner. Keeping up with scams is almost a full-time job," said Paul Green, of Saga.
"Society expects the banks and the police to be able to keep us safe from this type of crime - if they're unable to keep up with the ever sophisticated nature of this fraud, what chance do the rest of us have.
"This is a particular problem for older people that could result in them feeling digitally isolated for fear of becoming a victim and then being blamed by those who they expect to protect them."
Lucy Hastings, director at the independent charity Victim Support, said: "We know from our experience of reaching out to thousands of fraud victims every year that many never come forward because they feel ashamed or embarrassed that they have fallen victim to fraud.
"Unfortunately, these comments only serve to reinforce these perceptions and may further discourage people from seeking help."
The Met said that the commissioner's comments were not about blaming victims. Sir Bernard argued that banks needed to consider investing more in their security systems.
"My argument is to at least consider design. Car designers decided 20 years ago to make cars harder to steal and it worked for a long time," he said.

There are various types of personal financial fraud, ranging from cloning of debit and credit cards to scams which trick people into believing their bank account has been compromised and encouraging them to move funds into a fraudster's account.
In October, banking giant RBS revealed that 70% of its customers who fell victim to a scam did not get a single penny back. Almost 5,000 of the bank's customers fell victim to various scams in the first nine months of last year - at a total cost of more than £25m.
The average cost of falling for a scam had risen by 40% since 2014, to more than £13,000, the bank said. Many victims had agreed to transfer money to a fraudster so did not seek, or were not given, a refund.
A spokesman for Financial Fraud Action UK said: "There are strong legal protections in place for consumers against unauthorised transactions on their bank card or account. The ongoing priority for banks is supporting customers to spot the warning signs of fraud and avoid becoming a victim."
He said that banks stopped 70% of fraud attempts, so criminals were now targeting consumers directly.
"Fraudsters are using deception and impersonation scams to trick people into giving away their personal or financial details. This can also include tricking victims into transferring money directly to the fraudster, meaning they do not always have the same legal protection and may not get a refund."
Police will include cybercrime estimates in official crime statistics for the first time in July.
Wilson and Ann Mutura postponed their wedding twice in 2016 because they were unable to raise the $300 (£240) fee.
They decided to get married this year with the minimum of expense.
The groom only spent $1 on two budget wedding rings, which he produced amid cheering during the exchange of vows.
Other expenses surrounding the pair's nuptials - including the licence fee - were instead borne by their church.
Online commentators have praised their move, pointing out that weddings are becoming increasingly expensive.
The romantic story of Wilson, 27, and his bride Ann, 24, seems to have captured the attention of many Kenyans.
Somali town bans lavish wedding spending
After dating for more than three years, the couple overcame the biggest hurdle in their relationship - money.
Last year their appeals to friends and family failed to raise enough cash.
Wilson told the BBC that his older brother even advised him to forego the wedding and live with Ann without getting married.
But that was not an option for the self-employed fruit seller and his fiancee who wanted "a permanent and blessed union".
"As a [Christian] couple, we wanted to marry and live with dignity in order to avoid other temptations," said Ann.
So the pair opted to have a low-key wedding ceremony in Nairobi without cakes, flowers or decorations.
The couple were simply dressed, wearing jeans, T-shirts and training shoes. Their only assets were two shiny steel circles that served as wedding rings.
During the wedding service, Wilson surprised the congregation by running out of the church to buy the two rings, Pastor Jasper Ojwach from the Community Christian worship centre in Nairobi told the BBC.
The groom was cheered when he produced them from his pocket just before the exchange of vows.
The couple say they are surprised by the positive reaction on social media to their frugal wedding and have urged other young Kenyans to follow their example.
"I believe money should not stop young people like us from getting married. If people love each other and want to marry they should," Ann said.
So warm has been the reaction that the couple have received gifts from companies and individuals who were touched by their courage.
They are expected to go on their honeymoon soon, after a travel agency gave them a five-day break.
A blogger is alleged to have ignored a reporting ban during the trial of the Dutch engineer for murdering Jo Yeates.
The suspect was arrested last week over the tweet, sent out before the jury delivered its verdict.
On Friday Tabak, 33, was jailed at Bristol Crown Court for a minimum of 20 years for strangling Miss Yeates.
Tabak killed the 25-year-old landscape architect, his next door neighbour, at her flat in Canynge Road, Bristol, on 17 December and dumped her body about three miles away in Longwood Lane, Failand.
The office of Dominic Grieve QC confirmed that it had received papers from Bristol Crown Court about the tweet by the suspect, who is understood not to be a journalist.
Reporting restrictions made under the Contempt of Court Act banning publication of Tabak's use of violent porn were lifted following his conviction.
On the morning of Miss Yeates's murder he reportedly watched violent sex films online.
The sites showed images of of men choking women during sex, images of other women tied up in car boots and others being bound and gagged.
The prosecution wanted the information about Tabak's secret life, plus his visits to prostitutes in the US while on business, to be put before the jury
The Lionesses will play world champions the USA, Germany and France - the same line-up that contested the inaugural edition of the competition last year, won by the USA.
England face France in their opener on 1 March in Pennsylvania.
They then face the hosts in New Jersey on 4 March and European champions Germany in Washington on 7 March.
Captain Steph Houghton said the SheBelieves Cup was a "great tournament to play in last year with big crowds and tough opposition".
"It's important we test ourselves against the best teams and players in the world and we'll certainly do so there," she added.

Captain Mithali Raj took her runs total for the tournament to 356 with 109 from 123 balls as her team posted 265-7 having been asked to bat at Derby.
New Zealand lost both openers inside three overs and were all out within 26 overs, slow left-armer Rajeshwari Gayakwad taking 5-15.
India will face defending champions Australia at Derby on Thursday.
Raj, who had made three half centuries earlier in the competition, came to the crease in the fourth over and remained until the 50th.
The skipper shared 108 in just 13 overs with Veda Krishnamurthy, who fired the only two sixes of the match in her 70 from 45 balls.
New Zealand were already three wickets down when Gayakwad, making her first appearance in this year's tournament, came on to bowl the 12th over.
The 26-year-old's first three overs went without success but she struck in each of her next five, wrapping up the match in style by knocking back Leigh Kasperek's middle stump.
Australia had hoped to wrestle the title of group winners but England's emphatic victory over West Indies kept them in second place - despite a 59 run win over South Africa - which means a semi-final with Raj's team.
Nicole Bolton struck 10 fours in her 79, compiling an opening stand of 114 inside 22 overs with Beth Mooney.
All-rounder Ellyse Perry recorded her fifth fifty of the competition, hitting the only six of the match by dispatching a full toss over mid-wicket in the 35th over before departing for 55 from 58 balls.
The Australians lost their final two wickets in consecutive deliveries and were all out for 269 with nine balls unused.
Perry, who is only six runs behind England's Tammy Beaumont at the top of the tournament chart, then added two wickets to take her overall tally to nine, and was awarded Player of the Match.
Laura Wolvaardt made her third half century in four matches but was caught at deep mid-wicket for 71 in the 33rd over as the South Africans were all out for 210.
The fourth match of the day pitted two sides seeking their first win and after a delayed start at Leicester, Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 15 runs.
Wicketkeeper Dilani Manodara made her first fifty of the competition with 84 from 111 balls as Sri Lanka posted 221-7 having chosen to bat.
Slow left-armer Chandima Gunaratne then opened the bowling and captured a career-best 4-41 as Pakistan were all out for 206 in the 47th over.
Kathy Cross and Sue Redfern were the umpires at Grace Road, the first time this century that two female officials have taken charge of an international match.
The 34-year-old Argentine goalkeeper spectacularly rewarded the faith of manager Manuel Pellegrini with saves from Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana in the shoot-out after he was selected ahead of first-choice Joe Hart.
Fernandinho put City ahead just after the break after an error by Liverpool's otherwise heroic keeper Simon Mignolet. But two glaring misses from former Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling opened the door for Coutinho's late leveller.
In the shootout, Fernandinho hit a post with City's first kick, but Jesus Navas and Sergio Aguero were on target as Caballero made his decisive saves, allowing Yaya Toure to convert the winning penalty.
Listen: 606 with Jason Mohammad & Ian Wright
Pellegrini made a huge call in selecting the veteran Caballero ahead of Hart, particularly in the light of his dreadful display in the 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a week earlier.
City's manager has always trusted the keeper he coached at Malaga before bringing him to Manchester - and it was repaid with interest as Caballero made a magnificent stop from Divock Origi's header before defying Liverpool in the shootout.
The temptation would have been to reinstate Hart after Caballero's struggles last Sunday but Pellegrini kept to his tried and trusted policy in this competition - and came out a deserved winner.
It ensured at least one trophy for the Chilean coach in his final season before Pep Guardiola takes over, with success in the Premier League and Champions League still a possibility.
Liverpool keeper Mignolet showed the inconsistency that brings him as much criticism as praise.
The Belgian was badly at fault for letting Fernandinho's shot slip under his body but redeemed hlmself - and more besides - with some stunning stops from Aguero, and also dived bravely into a six-yard box scramble to clear as City threatened once more.
This, it seems, will always be life with Mignolet in goal but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp trusts the keeper the extent that he was recently awarded a five-year contract.
It still remains to be seen whether he is the long-term solution because he simply cannot eradicate important errors from his game.
If Raheem Sterling joined Manchester City's celebrations with even more gusto than his team-mates, it may have been through relief as much as joy.
This is because if City had lost, the forward who made an acrimonious £49m move from Liverpool in the summer would have carried a large portion of the blame.
Sterling was guilty of two dreadful misses when City were 1-0 up and seeking the second goal that would have eased their path to victory.
The England international steered wide of an open goal when it seemed so much easier to score, then was off target with another perfect opportunity after being set up by Aguero.
Sterling, whose every touch was jeered by Liverpool's fans after the manner of his departure from the club, got away with it but this was further proof that the weaknesses that have lingered in his game, namely finishing and decision-making, still exist. A work in progress.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "We feel down but now we have to stand up. Only silly idiots stay on the floor and wait for the next defeat.
"We will strike back. We have felt how it is to lose. It is not the best moment but on Monday morning maybe we can change everything.
"We will go on and we will get better. We have to work really hard, carry on and there is light at the end of the tunnel. This important."
Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "I was concerned about the amount of chances we missed. After that we played better in extra-time.
"It's a very important moment, and it's always very special to win a title at Wembley."
There's little chance for Liverpool and Manchester City to catch a breather before they meet each other again - in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday.

The leak is blamed on a chemical factory near Rouen. Many residents compared the odour to diesel fumes or rotten eggs.
Police, health officials and the gas emergency line in England received thousands of calls from worried people.
The gas is mercaptan, added to natural gas to give it a smell.
It enables people to detect leaks of normally odourless natural gas.
The chemical escaped from the factory 75 miles (120km) north-west of Paris on Monday.
Winds blew the cloud over northern France on Monday night and then into England.
Police in Kent and Sussex said they received calls early on Tuesday.
Then the UK's Health Protection Agency (HPA) and police said reports had started coming in from Surrey.
London Fire Brigade started receiving calls by Tuesday afternoon and later complaints also came from residents in Hampshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Northampton and the East Midlands.
The National Grid, which would normally deal with up to 10,000 calls a day to its gas emergency phone line, had received more than 100,000 calls by 14:00 GMT.
A spokesman said it was an "unprecedented" volume.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service advised residents to keep doors and windows closed if they had concerns, or were elderly or asthmatic.
But area commander Martin Adams said there were no serious concerns and he urged people not to call the fire service.
One resident in Cheriton, east Kent, said there had been reports of a strong smell in Ashford, Lydd and Hythe.
Tania Bartlett told the BBC that people "all over Facebook" were talking about it.
Canterbury resident Andrew Roberts said: "Just stuck my head out of the back door here in south Canterbury - strong smell of fuel oil in the air."
Sussex Police said it had been receiving reports of a gas smell along the East Sussex coast.
The force said Kent Police had also received a larger number of calls.
In a statement, a Sussex Police spokesman said: "We understand that this smell emanates from an accidental factory discharge in Rouen.
"The smell is from an additive to the gas which has an unpleasant aroma but is not toxic and there is no danger to the public."
The HPA said in a statement: "The smell drifting over southern England today poses no risk to public health.
"The odour, which is similar to rotten eggs, has been noticed by people mainly in Kent, East and West Sussex and some parts of Surrey."
It said the non-toxic chemical which had blown across the Channel would also have been diluted before entering the air over England.
In France, Tuesday evening's football match between Rouen and Marseille has been postponed because of the smell.
Staff at the factory, run by a French subsidiary of the US chemicals manufacturer Lubrizol, are working to stop the leak.
Southern Gas Network said it had spoken to the company on Tuesday afternoon.
"They've told us the work on fixing the leak starts this evening and they're hoping to have fixed it by tomorrow morning," said a spokeswoman.
"As to how soon the smell dissipates it hard to say."
In Poland on the latest visit of her post-referendum tour of EU leaders, the UK prime minister said she valued Poles' contribution to the UK.
There are more than 850,000 Poles in the UK, official figures say - the largest group of EU nationals by far.
Mrs May met PM Beata Szydlo in Warsaw after meeting Slovakian PM Robert Fico.
Johnson hails French 'friends' in talks
She started by paying tribute to Polish pilots who fought alongside the British in World War Two and said the partnership between the two countries would "endure long after the United Kingdom has left the European Union".
Of the hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens living and working in the UK, she said: "I want and expect to be able to guarantee their rights in the UK.
"The only circumstances in which that would not be possible would be if the rights of British citizens living across the EU were not guaranteed."
The UK PM said she wanted to "make a success of Brexit" and would "seek to address the concerns of the British people about free movement" while working for a "close economic relationship with the EU".
"Of course there will be different interests and complex issues to resolve but I firmly believe that if we approach this in a constructive and positive spirit then we can pave the way for a calm and orderly departure,
"And in that context I want to be clear that Poles living in the UK continue to be welcome and we value the contribution they make to our country. We condemned the shameful and despicable attacks against Polish communities and others in the wake of the referendum result.
"Hate crime of any kind directed against any community, race or religion has absolutely no place in British society."
Earlier, following talks with Slovakian PM Robert Fico in Bratislava, she stressed that British voters had sent a "very clear message" about wanting more control over EU migration into the UK.
"We will be looking to deliver that as part of our negotiations as well as looking for the best possible deal on trade in goods and services".
The UK prime minister stressed, at a press conference with Mr Fico, that the UK was "not leaving Europe or withdrawing from the world".
"Once we have left the EU we will continue to work with our partners across Europe, indeed Brexit is an opportunity to intensify those relationships."
The economic relationship between the UK and Slovakia was "flourishing", she said, with a 37% rise in UK exports to the country last year and investment by British firms such as Tesco and Jaguar Land Rover.
"So it matters to both of us that we maintain the closest possible economic relationship once the UK has left the EU."
She also reiterated that she wanted to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK, providing the rights of UK citizens in EU countries are also protected. She said she had discussed the matter with Mr Fico and "that concept of reciprocity is recognised."
The Slovakian PM said he had asked Mrs May "to dedicate a special level of attention to Slovak nationals and citizens who work currently in the UK" and said he hoped the UK would "redefine" and formulate "a vision of its relations with the EU" before triggering Article 50 - the formal process of leaving the EU.
The Royal College of Nursing described a poor level of awareness and knowledge in accident and emergency units about the potentially fatal disease.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the name for a group of inherited conditions that affect the red blood cells - the worst of which is sickle cell anaemia.
It affects about 15,000 adults and children in the UK.
The union will discuss the issue at its annual Congress in Glasgow on Saturday, 18 June.
The disease can cause episodes of severe pain known as "crises", which will kill if not treated correctly.
Despite a higher profile, there are about 5,000 fewer UK patients with cystic fibrosis than with sickle cell.
Sickle cell adult specialist nurse Carey Johnson, who submitted the item to the union's annual Congress, said: "There are some really good specialist services in pockets around the country, but too many people have to rely on general hospitals and A&E, where there is a very poor level of awareness.
"Two things would make a huge difference to the thousands of people with sickle cell disease.
"First, provide more specialist services, and, secondly, provide health care staff with better training about the condition."
Throughout his childhood, Stefan Taylor, 21, of east London, went into hospital on a monthly basis for blood transfusions.
And he would often have to stay in hospital for up to three weeks during severe painful episodes caused by the condition.
He said: "Growing up with sickle cell disease was really hard.
"It affected my personal life because a lot of my friends didn't understand the disease and didn't realise why I often couldn't socialise.
"Hospitals make you better physically, but emotionally they make you worse.
"Some people think you're addicted to painkillers because you ask for them first thing in the morning.
"It's very distressing, very upsetting.
"It's hard to keep calm when you're in so much pain."
He also said the specialist units for SCD were "brilliant" but there were only a small number of beds, and the system needed more funding.
The Royal College of Nursing also cited a survey carried out in December 2015 by the charity Picker Institute Europe, which asked patients if they thought healthcare staff had a competent knowledge of SCD.
Only 45% of the 229 recipients, who had all received urgent or emergency care within the previous six months, said they felt nurses had a good knowledge and understanding of the condition.
Janet Davies, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Nurses are clearly saying that there is not enough training for healthcare staff working in general settings on sickle cell disease.
"People who are already suffering a great deal of pain need the very best, and most informed care.
"The solution to this is very simple: better training and better awareness both amongst health care staff and the public."
An NHS England official said: "Sickle cell disease can be an extremely debilitating and distressing condition which is why NHS England is committed to providing patients with the highest standards of treatment, care and support.
"Whilst specialist services are central to this, ensuring that local services can respond to the needs of people with sickle cell disease is also vitally important and we welcome all efforts at awareness raising amongst patients and families and all the relevant services that care for them."

The 47-year-old Glaswegian is the second managerial appointment made by Chinese owners Fosun International since their takeover of Wolves in July.
He succeeds Walter Zenga, who was sacked after 14 league games and 87 days in charge at Molineux.
Lambert has also managed Livingston, Wycombe, Colchester, Norwich, where he won two promotions, and Blackburn.
He will be joined at Molineux by former Limerick boss and Aston Villa development squad coach Stuart Taylor, 41, who will become first-team coach alongside existing first-team coach Rob Edwards.
Wolves have not revealed the length of Lambert's contract, but director Jeff Shi told the club website he hoped the former Scotland midfielder would be at the club for the long term.
"Myself and Kevin Thelwell [sporting director] have spent many hours with Paul during the lengthy interview process, and have been very impressed with Paul's thoughts on football and his vision for Wolves," said Shi.
"Ourselves and Paul share the same vision and the same mission, to achieve promotion from the Championship as soon as possible, and then aim for a higher goal in the Premier League.
"That mission never changes, and we are doing everything possible to realise it."
Lambert took Norwich from League One to the Premier League in the space of two seasons, before struggling to make an impact under financial constraints at Villa.
He finished 15th in his first two full seasons and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup in 2013, when Villa were beaten by League Two side Bradford City.
Lambert joined Blackburn in November 2015 and Rovers won 10 of his 31 league games in charge to avoid relegation from the Championship.
But he activated a clause in his contract to leave after their final game of the season - and has since been awaiting a chance to return to management.
Mike Taylor, BBC WM
Lambert's appointment has been expected for several days, after he quickly emerged as one of the leading contenders under consideration.
It can be convincingly argued that his struggles at Aston Villa and Blackburn were made worse by noises off the field at both clubs, and Wolves will be hopeful that his great success at Norwich is his most relevant experience.
The size of his task was made all too obvious by Wolves' lamentable first-half performance against Derby on Saturday - the club's new owners will be expectant, but must also appreciate that a strong promotion challenge this season will be difficult from the current position.
From some of the most famous hotels and landmarks to the cranes arcing over the South Bank, Qatar has a substantial finger in a huge number of pies.
The UK is Qatar's single largest investment destination, with £35bn in place and another £5bn on its way in the next five years.
And it is now said that Qatar owns more land in London than the Queen.
The next batch of £5bn is headed for sectors ranging from infrastructure and energy to IT.
However, the pace may be slowing slightly after a rapid acceleration in the last five to 10 years, and Qatar's focus is turning instead to the US, where it aims to invest some $35bn (£27bn).
Both here and in the US, the investments will be largely channelled through the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) the country's sovereign wealth fund, that has a global portfolio worth about $335bn.
And it all comes from gas.
Qatar's oil output is relatively modest. But it is, through happy geological coincidence, situated on top of the South Pars Field, the single largest known natural gas field in the world, which straddles the Gulf.
The property research company Datscha revealed that the QIA owns 879 commercial and residential properties in London.
Of that, about 26 million sq ft is commercial property.
Central to its property empire is the Canary Wharf Group (CWG), which it bought with partners Brookfield Property Partners in 2015 for £2.6bn.
CWG owns some 16 million sq ft in the heart of London, including 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the Walkie Talkie, and the Shell Centre redevelopment on London's South Bank.
The QIA separately bought the HSBC Tower at 8 Canada Square in 2014 for £1.1bn.
It also has a stake in London's Savoy Hotel (through owning 10% of the French hospitality group Accor), and a 95% stake in the Shard. It bought the Harrods department store for a reported £1.5bn in 2010.
Meanwhile, Qatari Diar, the QIA's real estate development unit, is busy converting the US Embassy on London's Grosvenor Square into a luxury hotel, and is building homes at the former Chelsea Barracks which it markets as "the most coveted 12.8 acres in the world."
Qatari Diar also has a partnership with the real estate investment company Delancey and the Dutch pension fund asset manager, APG to develop and rent the 2012 Olympic Athletes' Village, known as East Village, and the Elephant and Castle redevelopment.
In all, that's about 4,000 residential units, managed and leased through the Get Living brand.
Another unit of the QIA, Qatar Holding, owns a string of hotels in London - not just any old hotels, but Claridge's, the Berkeley and the Connaught, as well as the Intercontinental in Park Lane, through a 64% stake in Coroin, the holding company which owns the Maybourne Hotel Group.
Across England and Wales, Datscha estimates the rateable value of all the QIA's properties is more than £1bn. Rateable value is not how much the properties are worth - it's based on the rentable value, so it represents the rent that could be charged in a year on all the properties.
Qatari individuals have also pumped money into London real estate. No 1 Hyde Park is a 380,000 sq ft development of some 83 apartments, considered by some to be the most expensive address in Europe.
It is joint owned by the CPC Group and Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, former prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Qatar.
An investigation by Vanity Fair in 2013 found that 64 of the apartments were held by companies registered in offshore tax havens.
Qatar is also bound into the UK economy through trade. And for Qatar, trade means liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Natural gas makes up about 29% of the UK's fuel imports and of that, about 29% is in the form of LNG, transported in double-hulled, temperature-controlled ships, such as the distinctive "Dinosaur Egg Carriers".
Qatar provides nearly all the UK's LNG. It comes through the South Hook Terminal at Milford Haven, which is 67.5% owned by Qatar Petroleum.
Then there are the strategic stakes in some of the country's biggest corporate names. The QIA has bought 22% of Sainsbury's and 20% of London Heathrow airport.
Since July last year, Qatar Airways is the biggest shareholder in British Airways owner IAG, with a 20% stake.
These kinds of investments do not come without a degree of controversy.
The Chelsea Barracks site has had a chequered history after Prince Charles lambasted the modernist design and the whole project was put on ice until 2015.
More serious is the cloud hanging over Qatar's interests in Barclays bank. At the height of the financial crisis in 2008, Qatar and Abu Dhabi pumped some £7.3bn into Barclays bank as it attempted to avoid being bailed out by the UK government, Qatar paying £4bn.
But the manner in which Barclays raised the funds is being scrutinised by two UK regulators, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Serious Fraud Office, and there is a separate lawsuit in which the private equity company PCP Partners is claiming £700m from Barclays in allegedly unpaid fees.
Qatar Holding is not under investigation. It still holds 6% of Barclays.
The country has also been making inroads into other areas of UK banking.
In 2009, the Qatari Investment Bank bought 44% of the venerable London stockbrokers Panmure Gordon.
Earlier this year, it made what it called a "joint bid" with Atlas Merchant Capital - the private equity firm of former Barclays boss Bob Diamond - to "take Panmure Gordon private and reposition the company as a key boutique investment bank in the UK market".
The teams meet in Malahide on Thursday and again on Saturday.
"We are missing that elusive victory against one of the top teams," said all-rounder O'Brien.
Captain William Porterfield added: "This is a big opportunity. There's no reason why we can't come away with a series win."
Ireland have taken some notable scalps at World Cups, memorably beating England at the 2011 tournament in Bangalore when O'Brien smashed 113 off 63 balls.
But Porterfield is aware Ireland to make a statement on home soil.
"We've played some very good cricket here and put ourselves in good positions," he said.
"We've had Australia, Pakistan and England on the racks, but we've got to follow that through for the full 100 overs and I've confidence we can do that this week."
Sri Lanka are coming off a Test series defeat by England and favourable weather conditions in Dublin should suit Ireland in Thursday's first ODI (10:45 BST).
"Sri Lanka are a young team, they've lost some experienced players but they'll still have some very good players in that line-up," said O'Brien.
"Even though it's a little green wicket they're still going to have bowlers who are very skilful and can get something out of that wicket.
"If we don't bowl as well as we can do, they'll have batters who can put the bad balls away.

Warm temperatures are being experienced widely across Scotland, but so far they are still below the Scottish May record of 30.9C of five years ago.
By 14:00, the temperature was 27.2C in Aboyne in Aberdeenshire, 25C in Inverness and Aviemore in the Highlands and 24C in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
High temperatures have also been forecast for Friday when it could reach 29C.
The top May temperature was recorded in Inverailort in the Highlands.
BBC Scotland Weather said 27-28C was likely to be the hottest on Thursday, with the average expected to be between 13 and 16C.
Warm and dry weather has been a feature of May this year.
The previous month in Scotland was largely cold and wet with some snowfall.
May is traditionally seen as one of the best months for long spells of fine weather in Scotland.
The 49-year-old man's body was discovered on Monday 30 January.

The fact that Samoa could not qualify for the quarter-finals, whatever the result, meant that they were going to want to play more expansively and give their supporters something to cheer about, despite it being a disappointing World Cup campaign.
This made them dangerous - but also vulnerable.
To combat this, Scotland wanted to play a slightly more set-piece orientated game and hold possession, which they initially struggled to do.
The story of the first half was mainly about Samoa. They looked excited and enthused in attack, playing with width and subtlety and were throwing caution to the wind.
The width they were playing with often created mismatches - backs attacking forwards - on the edges of the defensive line.
Tim Nanai-Williams and Reynold Lee-lo were exceptional and regularly beat the first man. They were playing in a traditional Pacific Island style, not worrying too much about structure or exits - and this suited them.
The plus side for Scotland was that they looked dangerous when they had the ball too. Samoa's defence wasn't particularly structured.
They were there to put a show on in attack, but they were very keen to put the individual big hits in which can be very destructive when it comes off - but it can also create dog legs to exploit.
A noticeable tactical call from Scotland was to turn down kicks at goal and kick to the corner instead.
My theory on this was that they were trying to starve Samoa of the ball, to make them defend and not give the ball back until they had an extra five or seven points. It also showed a real confidence in their line-out maul and ball retention.
The ironic thing was that they failed to score from the first set of drives and it was only once Scotland had Ryan Wilson sin-binned that they converted the maul into points.
One of Scotland's first-half issues, and a problem area for the whole World Cup, was kick-off receipt. Samoa won back their first three kick-offs, kicking short and up the middle.
Even when Scotland put a 'pod' in that target area, Samoa regained the ball. It is an area that needs to be addressed because, as I've mentioned before, it's a real momentum killer.
Scotland decided to kick long with their kick-offs, pincering the Samoans deep in their 22m. I think this tactical decision was made as they knew Samoa were going to want to throw the ball around and was an area where they could build pressure.
The Scots had very good numbers in their front-line chase where normally there would be a more passive chase on the edges. This suggests it was a deliberate ploy and the pressure resulted in the Tommy Seymour try.
Scotland were probably fortunate to still be in the game at half-time, but they deserve credit for this and were clinical with their opportunities.
Samoa seemed to self-combust just after half-time, giving away seven penalties in 15 minutes. It gave Scotland a foothold in the game, allowing them territory and possession. The match slowed down and, with that, the sting went out of the Samoan attack.
Scotland continued with turning down kickable penalties into the second half, but after a few efforts, they bore no fruit. Greig Laidlaw decided enough was enough and kicked the points.
There was a fairly crucial moment at 52 minutes, one that showed how important the rub of the green is.
The momentum was all with Scotland and, with the score at 26-26, Samoa kicked off.
Finn Russell had his kick charged down deep in his own 22m. It could have ricocheted anywhere but in this instance dropped nicely into Wilson's hands and, after a 30m break, Scotland were awarded a penalty and it was 29-26.
Critical to the victory was the decision to take the scrum in front of the posts at 73 minutes, a brave call that resulted in Laidlaw's try.
It's the process of the decision and previous decisions that was impressive. There were discussions, and decisions were made with clear heads, with a rationale behind them.
This is the sign of a strong leadership group. The game could have slipped away, but when Scotland needed to step it up, that's what they did.
Chief executive Alison Brittain said the company was expecting "a tougher consumer environment than last year".
Separately, floor coverings retailer Carpetright said it had seen "tougher trading conditions" in recent months.
Analysts have predicted a slowdown in consumer spending as shoppers' budgets are squeezed by rising inflation.
Last week, official data indicated that UK retail sales volumes posted their biggest quarterly fall in seven years in the three months to March.
Speaking to reporters, Ms Brittain said: "Indications suggest that there is going to be some constraint on (the) pound in the average consumer pocket with inflation and higher petrol prices and a relatively static wage position."
The downbeat outlook from Whitbread, which also owns Beefeater restaurants and Brewers Fayre pubs, overshadowed news of an increase in profits last year.
In the 12 months to 2 March, underlying pre-tax profits rose 6.2% to £565.2m, with total revenue op 8.2% to £3.1bn.
Costa Coffee's like-for-like UK sales growth slowed to 2% from 2.9% in the previous year, although total sales at the chain grew by 10.7%, helped by the opening of 255 new cafes around the world and more Costa Express machines being installed.
Like-for-like sales at Premier Inn grew 2.3% and the company added another 3,816 new rooms during the year.
Ms Brittain told the BBC that the company was still hopeful of expanding its Premier Inn hotel chain, saying: "We now have 68,000 rooms, but we think we've got line of sight to at least 100,000 in the UK."
She also said that it was too early to make detailed plans for Brexit. About a fifth of Whitbread's 50,000 staff are non-UK workers from the EU.
Neil Wilson, analyst at ETX Capital trading company, said: "The company is growing sales but at a slower pace than in the past as it struggles to fight off consumer trends at its two key businesses - hotels and coffee.
"One big issue is the growth of artisan coffee - smaller independent outlets are a bit more fashionable these days, which is denting growth prospects at Costa. The other is rise of Airbnb and its ilk, which is crimping growth at the Premier Inn hotel chain."
However, Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown said Whitbread was continuing to "deliver steady growth across both Premier Inn and Costa".
"A downturn in the UK High Street would be painful short term, but it's unlikely to be the end of the world's love of coffee," he added.
Shares in Carpetright were down 5=more than 8% after it warned that the recent slowdown in trade meant profits would be at the bottom end of forecasts.
The retailer said sales at UK shops open for more than a year rose 1.4% in the 12 weeks to 22 April, but this was weaker than the growth of 1.9% seen in the previous quarter.
Carpetright chief executive Wilf Walsh said: "We have experienced tougher trading conditions over the last three months.
"Whilst we remain confident in our turnaround plan, the level of sales growth in our final quarter leads us to expect that full-year profits will be towards the lower end of the current range."

The Briton, 26, has won Olympic, World, European and overall World Cup golds in the last two years - exertions which have left her feeling 'burnt out'.
Earlier this week ex-world champion Kristan Bromley and team-mate Rose McGrandle both retired from the sport.
Yarnold insists she is not quitting and will return rejuvenated for the defence of her Olympic crown at the 2018 Games.
The slider will still be training in the UK throughout the coming season, but will not return to the ice until late 2016.
"Coming off the back of my win in Sochi it was hard to re-motivate myself, but I had the Grand Slam in my sights and wanted so desperately to be World Champion that it saw me through," said Yarnold.
"It wasn't until I returned home that I realised I was emotionally fatigued - more than the usual end-of-season exhaustion."
Yarnold, who will marry in May, is determined to secure more history upon her return and become the first slider ever to successfully defend an Olympic skeleton title.
"It will be hard to watch others compete without me but I really feel like this is the right time for me to refresh, take stock and come back even more motivated for the future," she added.
With Yarnold, McGrandle and Shelley Rudman - who has extended her maternity leave - all missing, Laura Deas is the only established slider in the British women's programme for this season.
However, new talents like Donna Creighton and Jordan McIntosh are expected to make the step-up to regular World Cup competition.
"We fully support Lizzy's desire to take a season off from competing," said British Skeleton Performance Director Andi Schmid.
"Lizzy has already achieved some amazing things in her career and I am sure there is plenty more still to come."
"We have an impressive degree of strength in depth within the squad and are confident that we will still be competing for podium places this season."
The season-opening World Cup event begins in Altenberg, Germany, at the end of November.
Sarah Young, 40, was washed overboard while taking part in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. Her body was later recovered by her crewmates.
Race organisers said they had received permission from Miss Young's partner and family to bury her at sea.
Race founder Sir Robin Knox-Johnston has promised a full investigation.
He said everyone involved in the race was in "shock" over the death, adding the probe would focus on why she was not tethered to the yacht.
Miss Young is the the second person to die in this year's event - fellow Briton Andrew Ashman, a crew member on the same boat, died after being knocked unconscious in September.
Despite being amateurs, both Miss Young and Mr Ashman were experienced sailors.
Race organisers said Miss Young would be buried at sea because of the "long time it will take to reach closest landfall", and it would take place as soon as weather conditions allowed.
Miss Young's parents are deceased and she has no siblings, but her aunt in New Zealand gave the ceremony her blessing.
Organisers said there was a sombre mood with sailors reflecting on the "tragedy" as the race continued following the death.

Miss Young was tidying the cockpit of the IchorCoal yacht after reefing the mainsail when she was knocked from her position by a wave. She fell back towards the guard wire and was swept under it by another wave.
After she was recovered by crew, attempts were made to resuscitate her but she did not regain consciousness. She died at about 13:44 BST on Friday.
The cause of her death is yet to be confirmed but is suspected to be drowning or exposure, organisers said.
Sir Robin, who in 1969 became the first person to sail solo and non-stop around the world, told the BBC: "We've only had two fatalities in something like 4,000 people, in 10 races around the world.
"It's a shock to all of us and we want to find out exactly why it happened. Why wasn't she hooked on? This is what I've got to establish."
It was an "appalling coincidence" that two crew members from the same yacht had died, he added.
Sir Robin described Miss Young as experienced as a "very popular member of the crew, a very easy person to like".
He went on: "One of the things we really focus on in Clipper with the four weeks' training is safety.
"That is the primary consideration, the one thing we drum into all crew."
Miss Young, who was from London, was one of the sailors taking part in the entire round-the-world challenge.
The incident happened during the ninth race of the 14-stage event which started in August and covers more than 40,000 nautical miles.
Miss Young had already sailed more than half way round the globe, covering 20,000 nautical miles before setting off from the latest leg of the race on 21 March.
She had pulled out of part of the challenge after the death of her mother, organisers said.
Miss Young was the owner of a personal lifestyle company and prior to the Clipper Race had taken part in other expeditions, including mountaineering in Nepal. She had also run a marathon and was a qualified diving group leader.
Other sailors taking part in the race have reacted to the news, with GREAT Britain skipper Peter Thornton saying: "Extremely sad news about Sarah and we are all quite shocked and suddenly acutely aware of where and what we are in this world.
"I cannot imagine what IchorCoal and her family are going through right now so our thoughts are with all who knew and loved Sarah."
Dan Smith, skipper of Derry-Londonderry-Doire said his team was "devastated" by the "tragic news".
Former teammate Louise Thomas said she was "heartbroken", describing Miss Young as her "boat wife" and "best buddy".
She added: "My thoughts go out to those on board, her friends and family - and having been through this event before I know exactly what they're going through and I wish I was there to support them."
Fellow IchorCoal crew member Elliotte Ashcroft wrote on Facebook that Miss Young was a "witty, ballsy, caring lady".
This latest stage of the race takes crews from Qingdao in China to Seattle in the United States and has 3,242 miles still to go.
The crew will now continue on their journey to Seattle.
Sir Robin said: "I should think they are in shock and will want to take it easy for a bit and I have to say I think if I was in their position I would do the same."
More than 700 crew members are participating in the 2015-16 race, which will end in London on 30 July.
The BBC understands that its equity research, underwriting and derivatives businesses will be closed.
Around 500 to 600 jobs in the US and Europe are expected to be lost in the downsizing, according to Reuters.
A separate report by the Nikkei newspaper said the potential cuts could be up to 1,000 jobs.
Nomura said it would announce its full strategic plan on April 27 along with its annual results.
"We are taking decisive action to refine the services we offer to our clients," Nomura chief operating officer Tetsu Ozaki said in a statement.
"This exercise will deliver significant efficiencies and cost savings for Nomura, refocusing the firm's activities and reallocating resources towards its areas of expertise and most profitable business lines."
Japan's largest brokerage has struggled to make profits from its overseas businesses and is said to be looking to reduce costs.
Global investment banks have been scaling back their businesses as market volatility eats into revenues.
Banks such as Credit Suisse, RBS and HSBC have cut jobs and either shut or sold non-core business units in recent years.
Nomura had looked to bolster its brand overseas by purchasing Lehman Brothers' European and Asian operations after the US investment bank went under in 2008.
However, the integration proved to be costly and Nomura undertook a major cost-cutting plan in 2011 to stem further losses.
Nomura's third quarter net income fell by 49% from a year earlier to 35.4bn Japanese yen ($327m; £230m) because of market volatility.
It has since undergone a senior management reshuffle, with its chief operating officer and chief financial officer being replaced last month.
Ali Nasrollahi, 22, was found collapsed in Woodside Park in Barnet on 29 March and died later in hospital.
John Opoku Appiagyei, aged 26, of Ballards Lane, Finchley and Francis Osei Appiagyei, 23, of Albany Road, Brentford, were charged on Monday.
Two other men have been charged with the murder of Mr Nasrollahi, who died form a single stab wound.
Bright Osei, 21, of north Finchley, and Nelphy Lelu, 22, of Golders Green, appeared at Hendon Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
The latest men charged are due to appear at the same court on Tuesday.
Another man, 21, was arrested on suspicion of murder on 30 March and bailed.
The girl, known as Spozhmai, said her brother and father had beaten her, ordering her to put on a suicide vest.
She was taken into protective custody in the provincial capital Lashkar Gah, after an Afghan soldier spotted her wearing the vest last Monday.
Said to be about 10, she has appealed to Afghan President Hamid Karzai to put her in a new home.
A presidential spokeswoman said she would only be returned to relatives if tribal elders guaranteed her safety.
The girl is thought to be the sister of a prominent Taliban commander, who police say encouraged her to carry out the attack.
She told the BBC's Newsday programme that she had been scared to carry out the attack, but that her brother had promised only her targets would die.
She added that her father had ordered her to return home, but she refused to obey.
"I said: 'No, I will kill myself rather than go with you'," she said.
"The same thing will happen again. They have told me before: 'If you don't do it this time, we will make you do it again.'"
The girl said she had not been allowed to learn to read and write.
"I did all the things at home, I cooked, I cleaned the whole house, and they would treat me badly as if I was a slave," Spozhmai said.
In her appeal to Mr Karzai last week, the child said: "I won't go back there. God didn't make me to become a suicide bomber. I ask the president to put me in a good place."
The president has condemned the Taliban over the incident, but the group has denied any involvement in the alleged plot.
Sean Cronin's 37th-minute try was the difference between the teams in a dour game dominated by defences.
Jonny Sexton and Paddy Jackson traded penalties with Leinster leading 8-3 at the interval, and neither side scored in a slow-paced second half.
Ulster had their best spell late in the game and despite a losing bonus point dropped down to seventh in the table.

Both sides were under pressure for a victory after poor results in the European Champions Cup.
Leinster, coming off back-to-back defeats to Wasps and Bath, started brightly in front of a sparse home crowd with Sexton nailing a sixth-minute penalty to put his side 3-0 up.
Paddy Jackson missed a simple penalty attempt three minutes later but converted a more difficult effort from nearer the sideline to level the scores after 14 minutes.
Leinster dominated possession and showed their intent when Sexton turned down easy points in favour of a kick to the corner.
Leo Cullen's side had a number of attacking lineouts in the second quarter, with Robbie Diack stealing Sean Cronin's throw as Ulster's defence held firm.
Eventually the pressure told with Cronin rumbling over from close range in the 37th minute after another lineout.
Ulster failed to commit enough bodies to the maul and Cronin crossed to put Leinster 8-3 ahead, Sexton missing the conversion.
Leinster found another gear after the restart and went close to breaching their Irish rivals' defence for a second time.
Rhys Ruddock made a great break straight through Ulster's porous midfield and when the ball was recycled to Sexton, his fast past was fumbled by Ben Te'o with the try line at his mercy.
It was a let-off for Les Kiss' side and in the 49th minute, Rory Best held up Josh van der Flier on the line to keep Leinster at bay.
Ulster's strike runners were starved of possession but Andrew Trimble made one penetrating break to put the visitors into the Leinster half for the first time in the second period.
Pienaar turned down a penalty as Ulster went looking for a try, but after going through several phases Diack conceded a penalty allowing the home side to clear.
Leinster dictated the pace of the game but Ian Madigan missed a drop-goal attempt as the home side struggled to put Ulster away.

Zulfiya Chinshanlo, Maiya Maneza and Svetlana Podobedova were all caught when samples from 2012 and the 2008 Games in Beijing were retested.
Chinshanlo won at -53kg, Maneza at -63kg and Podobedova at -75kg and all tested positive for steroid stanozolol.
It has not been confirmed if their golds will now be re-assigned.
Eight athletes were sanctioned on Thursday, with Marina Shkermankova of Belarus losing her London 2012 bronze medal in the -69kg class.
All Kazakh and Belarusian weightlifters could now be banned for a year from all international weightlifting competitions.
Under International Weightlifting Federation rules, automatic bans come into effect if at least three of a country's athletes fail Olympic retests.
The International Olympic Committee has reported a total of 98 positive cases from recent retests of samples from the Beijing and London Games.
At least six of those cases came in one weightlifting event, the men's -94kg category in 2012.
The trio were rescued as part of Operation Hornsman, a pan-European week of action against labour exploitation involving five police forces.
Police said the two males and female were being given "help and support".
A total of 24 people were arrested during the operation which was run by the The National Crime Agency.
Officers from Devon and Cornwall, Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire police forces were involved in visiting car washes, nail bars, take away outlets, a massage parlour and a residential property as part of the operation.
Devon and Cornwall Police chief constable Shaun Sawyer, the national policing lead for modern slavery, said the results were "very encouraging".
He said: "Victims may not regard themselves as being exploited, and are often reluctant to talk to police. If anyone suspects modern slavery is happening in their area we urge them to contact the police."
As part of the operation Devon and Cornwall Police arrested two people for modern slavery and money laundering offences, and two people for immigration offences.
A 47-year-old woman was arrested by Avon and Somerset Police for a slavery offence and money laundering, Gloucester Constabulary arrested five Albanian nationals for immigration offences and Wiltshire Police made 14 arrests for immigration-related offences.
Alice Nutter was one of the Pendle witches, a group of women tried for murder by witchcraft in 1612.
Her statue will sit in Roughlee, where she lived before being taken to Lancaster Castle for trial.
Parish councillor James Starkie said the work would "raise awareness of the true story of the witches".
The statue, which will be placed on Blacko Bar Road on ground donated by a descendant of Ms Nutter, is yet to be designed and the parish council has asked interested artists to get in touch.
Strict guidelines have been set about what any sculptor should consider when designing it, including an insistence that the artwork "needs to celebrate a resident who was unfairly treated" and "should represent 1612".
Mr Starkie said the piece, which must also include somewhere for people to sit, was "to commemorate the leaving of Roughlee village by a gentlewoman".
He said it was a chance to "move on" from her image as a witch.
"Alice was slightly different [from the other women] - it was a case of her being in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
The Pendle Trials were some of the most famous witch trials in English history and records show that Alice was perceived as different from the others being judged.
She was wealthier than the rest and barely spoke at her trial, offering no plea or defence against the accusation of murdering Henry Mitton by witchcraft.
She was found guilty and executed at Lancaster Castle on 20 August, 1612, for having bewitched to death "by devilish practices and hellish means".
The statue of Alice Nutter is expected to be completed by April 2012 to be installed ahead of the 400th anniversary of her execution.

A photographer's work has captured the decline of Glasgow's tower blocks from their heyday at the forefront of modernist architecture.
Chris Leslie spoke to former residents while documenting this part of the city's social history.
High rise flats were built across the city, following the clearance of slum areas in the post-war period.
As the continues its latest phase of redevelopment, the effect on communities in Dalmarnock, Gallowgate, Oatlands, Plean Street, the Red Road and Sighthill has been photographed.
Concern about the Zika virus has led to many of the game's stars withdrawing from Rio.
Reed was previously unequivocal about representing his country, saying on Wednesday that if the call came then he would definitely play.
After Saturday's Scottish Open third round he said: "We have to weigh up our options and make the right decision."
World number two Dustin Johnson is the latest big name to opt out, announcing that he would not put himself and his family at risk to the Zika virus.
That meant Reed, 25, was immediately promoted to America's four-man team as the US Open champion's replacement.
Reed has now expressed newfound doubt about his own participation.
The Texan, America's best performer at the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2014, had previously said: "Any time I can wear the Stars and Stripes, I do it. If I get the call tomorrow, I'll be on the flight. It doesn't matter to me where it is, when it is. If I can play for my country, I'm going to play."
After his third round 67 at Castle Stuart, and having been woken in the middle of the night with word of Johnson's withdrawal, Reed was a little more circumspect about his commitment.
"My phone was blowing up at 3.30am, 4am," he said. "I didn't know what was going on. When the phone starts blowing up at that time I'm sitting there thinking 'All right, what's going on at home? Did something happen?'
"The news was that DJ withdrew and everyone has to respect that decision. We have to weigh our options and make the right decision. As far as I know, I'm going to go and play, but at the end of the day I need to go and talk to the whole family and talk to my team and make sure it's the right decision."
On Wednesday, Reid said he'd already spoken to his wife, Justine, a registered nurse, and that the decision had been made. If he was given the chance to play, he would.
"I've always dreamed about being able to play for a gold medal," he had stressed.
However, Reed pointed out on Saturday that there are certain things he still has to consider. "All the factors everyone else is (weighing up). You know, security, Zika, everything. Hopefully I can play."
Golf will return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence but Johnson's decision has come as another terrible blow to the credibility of the event in Rio.
Johnson has an 18-month son with his fiancée, Paulina Gretzky, and plans to have more children soon.
"I feel it would be irresponsible to put myself, her (his fiancée), or our family at risk," Johnson said in his statement. "I believe I am making the right decision for me and most important for my family."
Johnson joined a growing list of golf's players finest to pull out, among them Jason Day, the world number one, Rory McIlroy, world number three and Adam Scott, world number eight. The American became the sixth player from the game's top-20 to opt out of Rio.
Earlier in the week, Colin Montgomerie was critical of those players who have withdrawn from the Olympics, saying that by staying away they are putting in jeopardy the sport's future in the Games.
All Olympic golf teams - four-player squads - must be finalised by Monday.
As it stands, the USA team will be Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson and Reed. Both Spieth and Fowler have, however, stopped short of fully committing to play.
More than a dozen attackers carrying machetes and axes struck during evening prayers at the mosque in Mwanza district on Thursday, police said.
The police have made three arrests.
The BBC's Sammy Awami in Tanzania says there are fears over the growing threat of Islamist militancy in the country, which has so far avoided such attacks.

No group has said it was behind the mosque killings.
The mosque's imam is among the dead.
According to eyewitnesses, the masked attackers, who were carrying black flags, switched off the lights, before asking worshippers: "Why are you praying while our fellow Muslims are unfairly held by the police?"
Police have confirmed that the attackers were unhappy about recent arrests of Muslims in the area.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland said a survey of its members found just one in 10 felt there was enough staff where they worked.
The "snapshot" survey of 200 Scottish nurses was part of a UK-wide poll.
Royal College of Nursing Scotland released the figures on the eve of its annual congress.
Almost all nurses (96%) reported working in excess of their contracted hours, with more than a quarter (27%) saying they did this every shift.
Just 11% of respondents said that staffing levels at their place of work were quite good or very good, while more than a quarter said they provided last-minute cover for absentee staff at least fortnightly.
RCN Scotland said it was worrying if some nurses felt they did not have enough staff to deliver quality care. The union warned that patient safety could be compromised as a result.
The union's director in Scotland, Theresa Fyffe, said: "The health and well-being of NHS staff is a major concern. If they become overstretched and stressed because they or colleagues are ill, there is a risk that poor practice can emerge.
"In Scotland, we are asking the next government to ensure that health boards implement the recommendations of the Boorman Review into NHS staff health and well-being.
"This is one way in which the NHS can begin to take better care of staff to allow staff to provide the standard of care they would like."
When it came to working conditions, 29% of nurses said they missed their meal time at work at least three times a week, while one in six said they rarely or never took the breaks they were entitled to.
About one in five nurses said that in the past six months they had spent a week or more at work despite feeling too ill to be there.
Mr Modi was sworn in two years ago with a promise to reform the economy, boost employment and rejuvenate social welfare schemes.
Newspapers and pundits agree he has taken some steps in the right direction, but caution that he hasn't been able to fulfil many of his promises.
The Times of India editorial says it is "evident that much has changed" and the "pall of gloom that hung over the economy has lifted".
"On the flip side of the ledger, the economy is yet to fire on all cylinders as in some respects, crony capitalism has been replaced by crony socialism. The Modi government hasn't shown much stomach for bold economic reform, ease of doing business has improved only marginally," it says.
The paper, however, praises the government's initiatives in infrastructure development.
"In terms of building India's infrastructure and energy security the power, rail, road and petroleum ministries are doing an excellent job. And Mr Modi has conducted a bravura foreign policy which has significantly raised India's profile in the world," it adds.
The Hindustan Times agrees that the PM has shown a keen interest in India's foreign policy.
"Having visited 40 countries as the PM, Mr Modi has placed himself well on the world map, successfully courted the US as an ally, displayed inspiration in befriending Japan with an 'Act East' policy and built bridges with Iran," it says.
But the paper highlights that Mr Modi hasn't been very successful in India's immediate neighbourhood.
"Tensions with Pakistan persist despite his pro-active flight to Lahore, Nepal is no longer a tame neighbour and relations with China remain edgy," it says.
Some analyst also point out that Mr Modi's popularity has largely remained intact because of a weakened Congress party.
"He [Mr Modi] has benefited in many ways from the disarray in the ranks of the main opposition party, the Congress, that ruled India for the better part of the past six decades under the leadership of the Nehru-Gandhi family. Yet, the party today is struggling to retain its relevance in a rapidly changing nation, mainly because the dynasty is no longer as potent as it used to be," write Harsh V Pant in The Diplomat.
Some papers and analyst have also highlighted his weak responses to cases of intolerance against India's minority Muslim community and his inability to work with the opposition.
"In its two years, the Modi government has not addressed itself in any notable manner to the country's minorities. Instead, at critical moments, it has sought to sidestep the need to do so by ducking behind the opaque slogan "sabka saath sabka vikas" [Together with all, development for all], when it has not retreated behind loud silences," writes The Indian Express in its editorial.
Mr Modi was criticised for remaining silent after Mohammad Akhlaq, a 50-year-old Muslim man in northern India, was killed in a mob lynching in last September over false rumours that his family had been storing and consuming beef at home.
The paper also highlights the government's inability in reaching out to the opposition to pass key bills.
Mr Modi's BJP party doesn't have a majority in the upper house of parliament and it needs support from opposition parties to get bills passed.
"Not only has the Modi-BJP not made a break with past petulance in government-opposition relations, it has added to it considerably," it writes.
Writing in The Indian Express, Pratap Bhanu Mehta argues that Mr Modi rode to electoral success by tapping into "a fear that India would slide into unbridled defeatism".
"The sense of defeatism has abated. But India is far from a deep transformation; and the risk of social and political conflict is returning," he writes.
Mr Mehta advises the government to be more open to hold dialogues with its opponents.
"The government has to be clear whether it stands for a politics of hope or a politics of resentment," he writes.
Members of the GMB at Glasgow City Council had voted in favour of industrial action in protest at the proposal.
The union claimed staff who regularly receive enhanced payments would lose out by £500 a year on average.
The council said it withdrew the plan after making "significant" progress in achieving £130m of savings.
The holiday changes were put forward as a way of saving money in the council's budget in March.
The council's executive member for personnel, Martin Rhodes said: "The council is facing the greatest budget cuts in its history from the Scottish government.
However, our staff are making considerable progress in delivering the reforms and efficiencies that are required to protect frontline services.
"As a result, we are now in a position to withdraw proposals to make alterations to public holidays. This progress on budget savings will also allow the council to improve some elements of frontline services further in the near future."
GMB Scotland Officer Benny Rankin said: "We are pleased the council has listened to the concerns of our members and climbed-down from its imposition plan, which could have plunged thousands of low paid workers into the ranks of the working poor.
"Our campaign of resistance has protected our members interests but there can be no doubt that the swingeing cuts to local government funding means the road ahead will be tough for all local government workers across Scotland.
"GMB Scotland is calling on all our councils to engage positively with trade unions and their members and work with us to find alternatives to an austerity agenda that is punishing working people and their communities."
The visitors had taken a two-goal lead after Sergio Aguero's volley and a Dzeko strike from long range.
But Eliaquim Mangala headed into his own net, then conceded a penalty, from which Abel Hernandez made it 2-2.
However, Dzeko struck again from close range, then substitute Frank Lampard hit his fourth goal in a week to secure the win.
Last season at the KC Stadium, Man City overcame the early sending off of Vincent Kompany to record a defiant 2-0 victory.
They made a much better start this time, taking the lead after just seven minutes with a goal made in Argentina.
Pablo Zabaleta, back from a one-game suspension, did well to direct a header toward compatriot Aguero, who swivelled before firing a clinical volley past an exposed McGregor.
With the Tigers struggling to get out of their own half, Dzeko made it two when he picked up David Silva's pass, cut inside and curled a fine effort into the far corner from the edge of the box.

However, with the visitors appearing to be strolling to victory, Steve Bruce's men found a way back in with a goal from nowhere when Mangala unwittingly powered Liam Rosenior's cross past a stunned Willy Caballero, who was making his first Premier League start in place of the benched Joe Hart.
After half an hour they were level, and again it was down in no small part to Mangala, who this time went studs up into the chest of Hernandez in the area.
Referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot and Hernandez coolly sent Caballero the wrong way.
With a yellow card, a conceded penalty and an own goal inside the 32 minutes, it was turning into a bad day for City's £32m signing from Porto.
His mistakes did not prove too costly, however, as Dzeko latched onto Silva's pass before rolling a precise left-foot finish beyond McGregor on 68 minutes.
Caballero beat away a Gaston Ramirez shot and Tom Huddlestone had an effort deflected over, but substitute Lampard sealed it with his fourth goal in a week, sidefooting home Zabaleta's cross.
City had gone three league games without a win following a shock loss to Stoke and draws with Arsenal and Chelsea. However, despite this win there will be plenty for manager Manuel Pellegrini to ponder on the journey back over the Pennines.

Former Manchester United defender Bruce will be delighted with the fightback but his side remain without a Premier League win since their opening day victory over QPR.
Hull City manager Steve Bruce: "They nearly blew us away in the first 10 minutes. Maybe we showed them too much respect. We were brave or stupid to play two up top. I thought 'we're at home let's give it a go'.
"We've conceded four and not done that badly. Sometimes you have to hold your hand up and say you have been beaten by the better team. We were brave and it nearly came off."
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "We were very unlucky with two individual mistakes. These things can happen. He [Mangala] was very unlucky with the own goal and after that he arrived late for the penalty but we continue to trust him because he is a very good player who had very bad luck.
"It was very important to win three points here because we cannot allow to drop any more points on Chelsea."

Lab tests showed cells looked biologically older in people who were severely depressed or who had been in the past.
These visible differences in a measure of cell ageing called telomere length couldn't be explained by other factors, such as whether a person smoked.
The findings, in more than 2,000 people, appear in Molecular Psychiatry.
Experts already know that people with major depression are at increased risk of age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
This might be partly down to unhealthy lifestyle behaviours such as alcohol use and physical inactivity.
But scientists suspect depression takes its own toll on our cells.
To investigate, Josine Verhoeven from the VU University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, along with colleagues from the US, recruited 2,407 people to take part in the study.
More than one third of the volunteers were currently depressed, a third had experienced major depression in the past and the rest had never been depressed.
The volunteers were asked to give a blood sample for the researchers to analyse in the lab for signs of cellular ageing.
The researchers were looking for changes in structures deep inside cells called telomeres.
Telomeres cap the end of our chromosomes which house our DNA. Their job is to stop any unwanted loss of this vital genetic code. As cells divide, the telomeres get shorter and shorter. Measuring their length is a way of assessing cellular ageing.
People who were or had been depressed had much shorter telomeres than those who had never experienced depression. This difference was apparent even after lifestyle differences, such as heavy drinking and smoking, were taken into account.
Furthermore, the most severely and chronically depressed patients had the shortest telomeres.
Dr Verhoeven and colleagues speculate that shortened telomeres are a consequence of the body's reaction to the distress depression causes.
"This large-scale study provides convincing evidence that depression is associated with several years of biological ageing, especially among those with the most severe and chronic symptoms," they say.
But it is unclear whether this ageing process is harmful and if it can be reversed.
UK expert Dr Anna Phillips, of the University of Birmingham, has researched the effects of stress on telomere length.
She says telomere length does not consistently predict other key outcomes such as death risk.
Further, it is likely that only a major depressive disorder, not experience of or even a lifetime of mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms, relates to telomere length, she said.
That is the proposal being championed by software entrepreneur Walter May.
Originally from Pontypool, he started work as an apprentice with British Steel and left Wales to study for an MSc at Cranfield University.
He built a successful career in the software sector and since returning to Wales has been a business support advisor for tech companies in their early stages and is involved in peer-to-peer mentoring.
Mr May is also conducting a feasibility study for the Welsh government into how five different nations - India, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal and Scotland - have benefited from tapping into the success of exiles.
Ministers will get a sight of that report next month.
One of the most successful countries in terms of getting money, influence and experience from its ex-pats is Ireland.
Kingsley Aikins set up Diaspora Matters four years ago . He wanted to reverse the brain drain and form networks of successful people across the world who wanted to help their home country's economy. It has been hugely successful and he now advises groups across the world.
Walter May, inspired by Aikins, is now building a network of Welsh exiles who he hopes will be interested in using their experience and connections to help the Welsh economy.
One person he is talking to is Warren East, former chief executive of ARM Holdings - a UK multinational and one of the world's most successful technology companies.
He comes from Newport originally but has built his career in Cambridge and around the world, although he regularly returns home.
Mr East is particularly interested in inspiring young people to take up a career in engineering and he says networks and connections can make a difference.
"Comparing Wales to where I've been working in Cambridge and all over the world you can see the economy is not in a good state.
"Business happens between people and this kind of networking effect that Walter is talking about is a necessary condition for inward investment and trade.
"Government initiatives are great but actually it's other businesses that businesses do business with and if you don't create that environment then things don't happen."
He adds that if he is connected with other people from Wales then he is more likely to think of doing business with Welsh companies.
Mr May is planning a Global Welsh conference at this year's Hay Festival and hopes to attract top Welsh business exiles.
Rovers took the lead when Matty Marsh gathered in John Boudebza's grubber kick to touch down close to the posts.
Jimmy Keinhorst and Rob Burrow crossed for Leeds, before Maurice Blair went over to make it 12-10 at half-time.
Ken Sio restored the hosts' advantage but James Segeyaro and Ryan Hall crossed to win it for the Rhinos despite Kieran Dixon's late try.
Both sides were already assured of a place in the Qualifiers when the Super 8s phase starts, but the result means Leeds - last season's treble winners - will have an extra home game in the middle eights.
Rovers controlled possession early on and were good value for their lead, but poor tackling allowed Keinhorst and Burrow to run through the defence and put Leeds ahead.
The hosts lost James Green to a shoulder injury shortly before Blair's second try, and Josh Mantellato's missed conversion meant they trailed at the break.
Mantellato missed again after Dixon's last-minute try, as Rhinos climbed to ninth and Hull KR dropped to 11th in the table.
Hull KR: Cockayne; Sio, Minns, Blair, Mantellato; Marsh, Kelly; Walker, Boudebza, Tilse, Greenwood, Larroyer, Lawler.
Replacements: Dixon, Cator, Mulhern, Green.
Leeds Rhinos: Sutcliffe; Briscoe, Watkins, Keinhorst, Hall; Lilley, Burrow; Galloway, Segeyaro, Singleton, Ferres, Ablett, Jones-Buchanan.
Replacements: Cuthbertson, Achurch, Garbutt, Golding.

The Grecians were looking to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Accrington, and they started with intent.
Lloyd James' cross fizzed across the six-yard box with no-one on hand to convert, and Ryan Harley saw a shot deflect just over the crossbar.
However, Exeter's pressure told a minute before half-time when David Wheeler was felled by goalkeeper Scott Brown and Reuben Reid converted the penalty for his 10th goal of the season.
It was 2-0 six minutes after the break as Reid bagged his second goal of the game, lashing home from 12 yards from Jake Taylor's lay-off.
And it was 3-0 shortly afterwards as a Taylor shot from 12 yards took a wicked deflection to leave Brown wrong-footed.
Cheltenham, with manager Gary Johnson absent through illness, rarely threatened and were well beaten with their best chance coming late in the game, Exeter goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik pushing Jack Munns' effort wide of the post.

Motherwell, now on a run of three successive defeats, took a fifth-minute lead through Marvin Johnson's shot.
However, a cross from Niall McGinn flew straight in to draw Derek McInnes's side level before the break.
And defender Ash Taylor headed an emphatic winner from another McGinn delivery to give the Dons nine points from nine.
It is the first time since 1991 Aberdeen have won their opening three league matches of the season and last year's runners-up are playing with an air of confidence and authority, a consequence of the winning habit they have developed.
This was a big win for them, with Motherwell proving testing opponents in a fabulously entertaining match.
Both sides possess players with terrific pace, which added to the absorbing, end-to-end nature of the contest. Indeed, the opening goal owed much to Motherwell's counter-attacking ability.
Lionel Ainsworth broke with lightening speed to feed Scott McDonald and the Australian forward's powerful shot was pushed away by Danny Ward. The ball then fell for Johnson, who volleyed into the ground and past the keeper.
Aberdeen's equaliser came in bizarre fashion as McGinn curled in a cross from the left and as players from both sides tried and failed to get a touch, the ball crept past the flat-footed Connor Ripley and in off the far post.
Both sides contributed hugely to a frenetic game but Aberdeen will feel they deserved the win, having dominated possession and creating more danger for the opposing keeper.
David Goodwillie should perhaps have headed them in front just after the interval, but Taylor did exactly that in the 62nd minute.
McGinn swept in a free kick from the left and Taylor rose to plant a firm header into the net as Ripley came off his line and failed to get anywhere near the cross.
The busy McGinn almost put the game beyond Motherwell with a terrific run and shot, which on this occasion came back off an upright.
The high tempo continued in the closing stages but Motherwell could not fashion another opportunity to seriously test Ward as the large visiting support went home delighted.

Russian state TV's coverage of the crisis has been consistently sensationalist, using a wide repertoire of propaganda techniques to incite revulsion and hostility towards the authorities in Kiev.
Television in Ukraine has fastened on the role of the Kremlin and decries Russian media "lies", though with less emotive language than Moscow-based channels.
A constant refrain of Russian TV's reporting of the Ukraine crisis has been its attempts to equate the current authorities in Kiev and their supporters with fascists.
One of the ways they have done this is to brand them as banderovtsy, followers of controversial Ukrainian nationalist and wartime partisan leader Stepan Bandera.
Bandera was demonised by the Soviets and still is by Vladimir Putin's Kremlin as a Nazi collaborator, but is revered as a hero in parts of Ukraine.
The word junta is often used on Russian television to describe the Ukrainian government, suggesting a lack of legitimacy following the ouster of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in February.
More emotive is the use of the words "fascist" and "Nazi" in many Russian TV reports. They are words used in several contexts, from portraying the far-right Right Sector as Ukraine's real driving political force, to drawing parallels with World War Two.
Russian state TV widely uses the term "punitive operation" when referring to Ukraine's security operation in the east.
The term, which normally refers to wartime German reprisals on Soviet territory, was first heard during a speech by Mr Putin on state TV in March, in which he said that supporters of Mr Yanukovych were being threatened by "repressions and punitive operations".
Russia's state channels Rossiya 1 and Channel One have each used the term in more than 500 reports, and the word "punishers" more than 100. Their use is not universal, however. Gazprom-owned NTV has used the term sparingly, and has never used "punishers".
In Ukrainian newscasts, stories about Russia portray the country in a negative light but language has been restrained in comparison to that on Russian TV. There has also been mild criticism of the country's military commanders.
Coverage has evolved in recent days from suggestions of Russian involvement to direct accusations. Russian forces, which were previously described as "someone helping from the neighbouring state", are now openly accused of taking part in the fighting. According to one report on the 1+1 channel, Ukrainians "are being killed not only by terrorists, but also by Russia".
Pro-Russian separatists are routinely referred to as "terrorists" as Ukrainian channels follow the government line, irrespective of ownership or leaning.
Much Ukrainian coverage has been devoted to accounts of torture and kidnapping by pro-Russian fighters, and rebutting what it calls Russian media "lies" about the Ukrainian government's self-declared "anti-terrorist operation".
If the Russian stance on any issue is mentioned, it is invariably dismissed as "Kremlin propaganda" with Oleksandr Dubynskyy, a journalist working for Ukrainian 1+1 TV, referring to the Russian pro-Kremlin LifeNews rolling news channel as "liars and scoundrels".
Stronger editorial criticism of the Russian authorities can be seen away from news broadcasts, with documentaries and live discussion programmes promoting strong anti-Moscow views, and it is on live talk shows where the most outspoken views on Russia are heard.
The Freedom of Speech programme on ICTV and Shuster Live on Kiev's state-run UT1 both feature harsh criticism of Russia, voiced by numerous Ukrainian officials and politicians.
However, alternative opinions are also aired, and presenters make no attempt to block dissent.

A cabinet statement said a voluntary recruitment drive was necessary to fill shortages in squads in the west of Anbar province.
Thousands have fled Ramadi since its capture by IS on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the US National Security Council said it was considering "how best to support local ground forces".
Spokesman Alistair Baskey told AFP that some of the measures may include "accelerating the training and equipping of local tribes and supporting an Iraqi-led operation to retake Ramadi".
A more detailed announcement could come within days.
President Barack Obama has been briefed by advisers and "reaffirmed the strong US support" for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.
Islamic State militants have been setting up defensive positions in Ramadi, witnesses say.
After a Council of Ministers meeting on Tuesday, the Iraqi prime minister vowed to prosecute forces who fled the city in the wake of the IS attacks.
Mr Abadi said the Iraqi people needed to "stand unified" and called for voluntary recruitment to the army. He also pledged to recruit and arm tribal fighters.
Fleeing Ramadi residents face tough choices
On the frontline in Anbar province
The council also issued a fresh plea to the international community to help Iraq's "war against terrorism".
The loss of Ramadi, capital of western Anbar province, is a blow for both the Iraqi government and US strategy in the area, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut.
Retaking it is a massive challenge to the Iraqi government, which has had to appeal to the Shia militias despite risks of a sectarian backlash from sending them deep into the Sunni heartland, our correspondent adds.
Some 3,000 Shia militiamen are said to be "on standby" at Habbaniyah military camp, some 20km east of Ramadi, in preparation for an attempt to recapture the city.
The United Nations says some 25,000 people have fled the area in recent days, with many having to sleep in the open.
Streets in the city are deserted, but some shops have been forced to open by IS fighters.
Militants were also going door-to-door looking for government sympathisers and throwing bodies in the Euphrates river, residents said.
Fans fear Clwb Ifor Bach in the city centre could close after permission was granted for a hotel redevelopment nearby.
Kevin Brennan and Jo Stevens want special designation for such areas to restrict residential schemes.
The Welsh Government said the "cultural contribution" of music venues was being considered in a review of planning law.
More than 7,000 people have signed a petition to save live music in Womanby Street, a prime site for new developments opposite Cardiff Castle.
It is already home to several venues, including Clwb Ifor Bach, and is the base for the annual Swn festival.
Nearby venues Dempseys and the Full Moon have recently closed for redevelopment, while Clwb Ifor Bach has learnt of a plan to convert a neighbouring derelict site into flats.
The MPs also pointed to the demise of The Point in Cardiff Bay in 2009, which closed following complaints about noise from residents of flats built after the venue opened.
Cardiff West MP Mr Brennan, a Labour shadow arts minister and keen guitarist, said: "As a regular performing musician it's important to me that our city can continue to hold its reputation as a great location for live music.
"Festivals like Swn are the place where many bands from Wales and beyond have cut their teeth.
"I would hate to see opportunities like this squandered away to placate the residential developers looking for a quick buck in Cardiff city centre."
Cardiff Central Labour MP Ms Stevens added: "To see the quality and variety of live music compromised due to unnecessary and inappropriate development would be disastrous for Cardiff's live music scene and reputation.
"I want to see a change to planning laws that will enable us to retain this very special place in the city and keep live music in Cardiff."
Cardiff council said a pub given permission to turn its upper floors into a hotel had been told to install sound proofing to keep out noise from the road, neighbouring venues and the pub itself.
A spokesman added there was little scope in current planning law to consider the cultural nature of an area.
"The Mayor of London is proposing to recognise 'an area of cultural significance for music' in parts of the capital but, in Wales, this term isn't recognised in the current Planning Policy Framework," he said.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Planning Policy Wales is currently being reviewed and Welsh Government officials have already met with the Music Venues Trust in relation to this issue.
"The cultural contribution of music venues is acknowledged and this is being given consideration as part of the review of policy."
Earlier this month the court had asked for the numbers during a hearing on the decriminalisation of gay sex in India.
A 2009 Delhi High Court ruling that decriminalised same-sex relationships is being challenged.
Many political, social and religious groups want the 19th Century colonial-era law reinstated.
The figures filed by the Ministry of Health were compiled by India's National Aids Control Programme.
The Aids programme has already reached 200,000 men in same-sex relationships and the hope is to raise that number to 400,000.
The prevalence of HIV in the group is 6.54%-7.23%.
But overall, the number of HIV-infected people in India is just 0.2% of the population as the country's Aids control programme has been successful in reducing the number of new infections.
Last month, the Supreme Court criticised the government for its shifting stand on the issue of decriminalising gay sex.
This was after a senior government lawyer, PP Malhotra, told the court that homosexuality was unnatural and immoral.
Within hours, the home ministry disowned the lawyer's statement and said he had read from an out-of-date file.
The health ministry then stated that it supported the 2009 Delhi High Court order decriminalising gay sex.
Judges GS Singhvi and SJ Mukhopadhyaya criticised the government for not doing its "homework" on the case and ordered the government to provide a count of the country's homosexual population for the next hearing.
"You should have done your homework before coming to the court," they told an official.
The 2009 ruling decriminalising gay sex was welcomed by India's gay community, which said the judgement would help protect them from harassment and persecution.
Many people in India still regard same-sex relationships as illegitimate, but rights groups have long argued that the law contravened human rights.
Section 377 of the colonial Indian Penal Code defined homosexual acts as "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" and made them illegal.
But the Delhi High Court said the law was discriminatory and gay sex between consenting adults should not be treated as a crime. Until the high court ruling, homosexual acts were punishable by a 10-year prison term.
The pilot of the single-engine aircraft was headed toward Boise Airport when he encountered a problem with the fuel tanks and the engine stopped working.
The plane "belly" landed on Interstate 84 - about a mile from the airport - without its landing gear deployed.
No-one was hurt in the crash, which snarled traffic for several hours.
Andy Patrick, owner of Boise-based charter business SP Aircraft, said the pilot was the only one on board the plane.
Mr Patrick said the plane, which was travelling from Seattle, Washington, was hauling cargo. | All pictures via the BBC's Weather Watchers.

So when Hillary Clinton came on stage around 10pm on Monday night in Iowa at a rally in Des Moines' Drake University she didn't declare victory but said she was breathing a "big sigh of relief'" as she thanked Iowans for their support and their hard work on behalf of her campaign.
By the next morning, the final results had come in and Mrs Clinton was officially declared the winner, the first ever woman to win an Iowa caucus and a victory by the narrowest margin in history. The race had already moved 1,300 miles east to New Hampshire and Mrs Clinton was at her first event at Nashua community college by noon.
"I am thrilled to be here in New Hampshire after winning Iowa,'' she said to cheers from the audience. "I can tell you, I've won and I've lost there - and it's a lot better to win."
If this was a win, it wasn't the victory that Mrs Clinton would have wanted in a state where until late last year she was still leading by a wide margin. But the Hawkeye state has given her and her husband much trouble. Bill Clinton didn't bother campaigning there in 1992 when he was running for president and finished in third place in the caucuses. Mrs Clinton also came in third in 2008, a loss from which she never recovered during that race as her rival, then senator Barack Obama, went on to make history and become America's first black president.
The Clinton campaign had hoped to break the Iowa curse with a better ground organisation, months of preparation and a lot of retail politics in small settings by the candidates. As polls showed Mrs Clinton and her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in a dead heat, her campaign aides remained cautiously optimistic, predicting a win by a narrow margin. Some who had already gone through the defeat of 2008 were tempering their expectations and contemplated a possible loss.
Monday night in Iowa was a nail biting evening as the votes were tallied and the margin between Mr Sanders and Mrs Clinton narrowed and then widened repeatedly, often by barely a percentage point. Results projected on a screen in the Clinton rally elicited cheers and gasps from the hundreds of supporters who were waiting for her to appear and speak to them.
By the time she left the stage, the race was officially still too close to call. Standing by her side, neither Bill nor Chelsea spoke. And the customary rope line greetings with supporters was scrapped as the Clintons made their way out of Drake University and to the airport to catch a flight to New Hampshire. In the crowd, there was celebration but no jubilation.
"This was a tough night. I had hoped she would do better and considering her name recognition and accomplishments and improved ground operation, she should have," said Joan Lipkin, a Clinton campaign volunteer who had come all the way from Missouri with 160 volunteers to canvass for the former first lady. Lipkin had volunteered in 2008 and said that her heart was broken then. On Monday night, her heart was ''dented'', she said.
"I'm not celebrating because I think Sanders poses a real challenge and many of his supporters are so enraged at the system that they may not come over if she wins the nomination."
Late into the night, on a chartered plane from Iowa to New Hampshire carrying Clinton aides and the press corps covering her campaign, there was exhaustion after days of campaigning in Iowa and trailing behind the candidate on a bus.
As headlines swirled about a tie between Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders, Clinton spokesperson Brian Fallon and communications director Jennifer Palmieri tried to get ahead of the story, briefing journalists before the plane took off so stories could be filed.
"We believe strongly that we won tonight," Mr Fallon said. Based on their internal calculations and an app that reported turnout levels and delegate allocations, the Clinton camp said they had already determined they had 22 delegates, one more than Sanders, and that the finally tally would allocate the remaining delegate to Mrs Clinton.
"So while there are still a few precincts remaining the only candidate who can emerge from tonight's caucuses with a win is Hilary Clinton."
When the plane landed at Manchester airport in New Hampshire just before 5am and campaign aides sitting at the front of the plane were able to log into their emails, cheers erupted as they read the news that the final tally had come in from the Iowa Democratic party, in favour of Mrs Clinton. Her two-delegate lead over Mr Sanders is the same as Mr Obama's lead in 2008.
But for a candidate with such a formidable resume running against a self-declared socialist from Vermont, the race for the nomination should be a walk in the park.
Increasingly since late last year, the expectation is that this will be a long hard slog because Mr Sanders has tapped into a sentiment among young voters and a desire for revolutionary change that Mrs Clinton has not yet been able to channel.
Clinton aides also tried to highlight what could be an ominous sign for Mr Sanders who is counting heavily on caucus states to find a path to the nomination.
"Senator Sanders has been saying for weeks that if this caucus was a high turnout affair, he would win. He was wrong," said Mr Fallon. The Clinton aides described Iowa as a left-leaning state that was tailor-made for Mr Sanders' strengths
Turnout was indeed high at 180,000 and it should have favoured Mr Sanders. This could spell trouble for him in future caucus states like Nevada. Mrs Clinton had once described caucuses as ''creatures of the parties' extreme''.
In southern states, Mr Sanders is trailing well behind and failing to connect with African-American voters. Mrs Clinton is banking on these more hospitable grounds to start picking large numbers of delegates to help her advance to the finish line for the nomination.

But first, Mr Sanders is expected to win by a wide margin in the Granite state. So why is Mrs Clinton even bothering to campaign here?
Perhaps because in 2008, this was the state that gave her a morale boost after her Iowa defeat. She won by two points after polls had showed her trailing well behind Mr Obama.
No one in the Clinton camp expects to win New Hampshire, Mr Sanders' backyard and a state where 44% of voters identify as independent. Although he is running for the Democratic nomination, Mr Sanders is the longest serving independent member of congress.
If Mrs Clinton had hoped for a boost in New Hampshire from a sizeable win in Iowa, she will now spend the rest of the week assiduously trying to narrow the gap with her opponent in what is now a two-horse race after former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley dropped out on Monday night.
"She loves New Hampshire, she's really excited to be here and it's part of the primary process and she's going to march through each part of it and try to win everywhere," said Ms Palmieri.
Pressed about Mr Sanders not yet conceding Iowa, Ms Palmieri replied tersely: "We won."
The US urged Turkey to stop the shelling and focus on fighting the group Islamic State (IS).
Meanwhile Turkey's foreign minister said Turkey was mulling a ground invasion of Syria with Saudi forces.
On Thursday world powers agreed to push for a cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week.
Among the targets shelled by Turkey was the Menagh airbase, which was seized on Thursday from Syrian Islamist rebels by a Kurdish militia group known as the YPG.
Speaking on Turkish TV, PM Davutoglu warned that Turkey would retaliate if the YPG did not leave the airbase, which lies south of the town of Azaz and near the Turkish border.

Displaced Syrians struggle to survive
Syria: The story of the conflict
Turkey sees the YPG as being linked with Kurdish guerrillas from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a campaign against security forces in Turkey itself for decades.
Mr Davutoglu accused the Kurdish militiamen of attacking ethnic Arabs and Turkmen in what amounted to "war crimes".
US State Department spokesman John Kirby also urged the YPG not to "take advantage of a confused situation" by seizing new territory.
Mr Kirby said Turkey and the YPG were both threatened by IS, whose fighters were located to the east of Azaz.
"We continue to encourage all parties to focus on this common threat, which has not subsided," he said.
On Saturday, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it was possible that troops from his country and Saudi Arabia might participate in a ground operation against IS forces.
Saudi Arabia will send war planes to the Turkish airbase of Incirlik to carry out air strikes on IS militants, Mr Cavusoglu said.
The US has so far ruled out a ground invasion of Syria, while Moscow has warned against such a development, saying it could lead to a world war.
World powers have instead agreed a tentative deal to try to bring about a cessation of hostilities and allow more access for humanitarian aid.
Under the plan, efforts will be made to try to make urgent aid deliveries to besieged and hard-to-reach areas in Syria. Steps will also be taken to work towards an eventual ceasefire and implementation of a UN-backed plan for political transition in Syria.
The halt would not apply to the battle against jihadist groups IS and al-Nusra Front.
However, neither the Syrian government nor the rebels were involved in the deal and both have since vowed to continue fighting.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Friday that he intended to retake "the whole country" from rebels.
Syrian government forces, backed by Russian air strikes, have almost encircled rebels in parts of the northern city of Aleppo.
However, Russia has come under pressure from Western countries over civilian deaths in Syria, with France and the US urging greater caution.
French PM Manuel Valls and US Secretary of State John Kerry said civilians were dying in Russian air strikes.
One observers' group says at least 1,015 civilians have been killed in Russian air strikes.
Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has consistently denied hitting civilian targets and insists it is battling terrorists.
More than 250,000 people have been killed and some 11 million displaced in almost five years of fighting in Syria.
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, five years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.
The organisation said it viewed Jackie Walker's behaviour as "irresponsible".
It said remarks on Holocaust Memorial Day and Jewish school security at a party training event were "ill-judged and offensive" but overall she did not appear to be anti-Semitic.
Ms Walker, who is Jewish herself, has said she is not an anti-Semite.
She was suspended by the Labour Party in May over comments made on social media in which she claimed that "many Jews (my ancestors too) were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade" but was re-admitted following an investigation.
She was suspended again from the party last week after a leaked video emerged.
It showed her saying at an anti-Semitism training event: "I came here... with an open mind and I was seeking information and I still haven't heard a definition of anti-Semitism that I can work with". She also questioned why Holocaust Memorial Day was not more wide ranging.
Speaking to Channel 4 News later, Ms Walker said she was not challenging the definition of anti-Semitism but rather "wanted to be clear what we were talking about".
Asked if she would describe herself as an anti-Zionist and not an anti-Semite, she said: "Yes. I certainly wouldn't call myself an anti-Semite as I am Jewish and my partner is Jewish."
In a statement, Momentum, which was set up following Jeremy Corbyn's 2015 election as Labour leader, said its steering committee had voted seven to three to remove Ms Walker as its vice-chairwoman.
"Jackie's actions at Labour Conference, in her subsequent Channel 4 interview, and by not understanding concern caused by her statements, have led the steering committee to view her behaviour as irresponsible and lose confidence in her...
"Having read reports of what Jackie Walker is alleged to have said, listened to the leaked video, and heard Jackie's version of events, the committee does not regard any of the comments she appears to have made, taken individually, to be anti-Semitic."
It said Ms Walker "should have done more to explain herself to mitigate the upset caused and should have been careful about statements on this and related subjects, whatever her record as an anti-racist, which the committee applauds".
Momentum added that on the basis of the evidence it has seen, she should not be expelled from the Labour Party.
The visitors took a 26th minute lead when winger Ademola Lookman let fly with his left foot from just outside the penalty area and saw his effort take a deflection before nestling in the top corner.
Charlton doubled their advantage on 43 minutes as striker Josh Magennis netted his second goal in four days, from close range, after Adam Chicksen had turned a far post cross from Lookman back across goal.
Five minutes after the interval, Patrick Bauer's downward header from a Lookman corner eluded Rovers goalkeeper Kelle Roos.
Chicksen made it 4-0 on 77 minutes with a right-footed shot from the edge of the area that took a slight deflection and Nicky Ajose completed the rout with a 30-yard strike five minutes from time.
An injury-time penalty from Matt Taylor, after Rory Gaffney was brought down, was little consolation for the hosts, who had centre-back Jake Clarke-Salter, on loan from Chelsea, stretchered off on 65 minutes with all three substitutes already used.
Karl Robinson, who has emerged as one of the favourites to take the vacant manager's job at Charlton, was in the crowd watching on as Nugent continued his winning start.

Monday's Daily Caller headline read: "It's High Time Barron Trump Starts Dressing Like He's In the White House."
End of Twitter post by @FLOTUS
Many others on social media said they felt the piece was inappropriate.
"As with all previous administrations, we ask that the media give Barron his privacy," Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for Mrs Trump, told the Associated Press.
"He is a minor child and deserves every opportunity to have a private childhood."
End of Twitter post by @TheRickWilson
Ms Clinton, who lived in the White House when her father was US president in the 90s, tweeted: "It's high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves."
She also replied to someone who shared the piece: "No child should be talked about in the below manner-in real life or online. And for an adult to do so? For shame."
Reporter Ford Springer had written: "Barron was returning to the White House from New Jersey on Sunday and while the president and first lady travelled in their Sunday best, young Barron looked like he was hopping on Air Force One for a trip to the movie theatre."
Editorial director for conservative The Daily Caller site, Vince Coglianese, defended the writer in an email, according to the Associated Press. He called it "bro-to-bro advice" and said Mr Springer was "just looking out for the kid". He is "the most pro-Barron Trump writer I've ever met," he added.

Ms Clinton had previously defended Barron from criticism and cruel jokes, including one tweet that caused a writer for Saturday Night Live to be fired.
Donald Trump repeatedly attacked her mother, Hillary Clinton, when she stood against him in the 2016 president elections, calling her "crooked Hillary".

Fury, 27, upset Klitschko to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO titles in November and is due to take on the Ukrainian in a rematch in May or June.
American Wilder, unbeaten in 36 fights, has offered Tyson the chance to unify their heavyweight belts.
"If he wins, I'm willing to go there to take the titles," Wilder said.
Wilder retained his WBC heavyweight title in Brooklyn this month by beating Artur Szpilka, and was confronted by Fury in the ring.
"When he got in the ring I told him I'll come to his backyard - and I mean that," added Wilder.
"When my legacy's over and done, I want to be labelled as someone who went behind enemy lines, fought everybody and had great exciting fights every time."
They will be told the condition affects up to 25% of people working in agriculture, compared with 10% in the general population.
They will also hear of the need to make vital forms and paperwork as easy as possible to understand and fill in.
Scottish NFU vice president Rob Livesey said people needed to be aware of the issue.
"It is changing the way that other people look at people with dyslexia and also important to see that people with dyslexia take a different and more positive view of themselves," he explained.
"They clearly have a great deal to offer - they are hugely talented many of them - and we need to be able to recognise that.
"I think that anybody that is dealing with farmers should be aware of what an issue dyslexia is."
The campaign was launched after an approach by Galloway farmer Sandy McCreath from Kirkinner who has severe dyslexia.
"Thirty years ago it was pretty rudimentary - the paperwork was secondary to your job," he explained.
"Now it is essential.
"If you make a mistake it is far more likely to be picked up on and penalised.
"We do suffer from stress quite severely and when that occurs your power of understanding drops away and you are in trouble."
Up to a quarter of students on some courses at Scotland's Rural College have dyslexia.
Support lecturer Gillian Conley from the Barony Campus, near Dumfries, said it could affect their ability to concentrate on lengthy reports, interpret information or complete numeric calculations.
A dedicated NFU Scotland phone number for anyone affected by the issue has been set up on 07775 804 717.
Anyone needing help is also urged to contact groups like Dyslexia Scotland.
The leak happened when a company auditor uploaded details of almost 100,000 staff to various file-sharing websites in 2013.
The auditor, Andrew Skelton, was sentenced to eight years in jail for deliberately leaking the details.
Now staff are arguing Morrisons should have done more to protect their data.
"My clients' position is that Morrisons failed to prevent a data leak which exposed tens of thousands of its employees to the very real risk of identity theft and potential loss," said Nick McAleenan, a data privacy lawyer representing the staff.
"In particular, they are worried about the possibility of money being taken from their bank accounts and - in the case of younger clients - negative consequences for their credit rating."
The size of the claim has yet to be decided.
Morrisons denies it is responsible and says the legal action is fundamentally misconceived.
The birds are roaming loose in Ushaw Moor, County Durham and "causing mayhem" by fouling the streets and scratching vehicles with their claws and beaks, they say.
Durham County Council said it was investigating complaints about noise.
A petition demanding action said they have caused problems for six years.
Organiser Graham Bridge said the birds screech throughout the day and cause disturbance during the night as they sit on roofs and call out to each other.
The peacocks also scratch and peck cars, convinced their reflection in the paintwork is a rival bird.
Mr Bridge said a resident's car was attacked so violently the peacock left blood on the vehicle.
A further nuisance is the muck the roaming birds leave, he added.
"It is evil stuff," Mr Bridge said. "When it's soft it is flipping awkward to get out of anything. The best method is to let it dry, but you wouldn't want to do that."
There is some dispute over the exact number of birds and where they have come from.
Mr Bridge estimates there are 30 of them and said a neighbour once found 13 sitting on his decking.
Durham County Council said it had received complaints about noise and was investigating to determine whether the birds create a statutory noise nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Chris Collett from the RSPB said the birds "fall into a grey area as far as the law is concerned".
"This is a difficult one because peacocks are not classed as wild birds which have protection in law," Mr Collett said.
"They are classed as domestic birds, but clearly the ones in question are feral and have no owner."

She then got as far as the second-last fence on According To Sarah in another race before pulling her mount up.
Pendleton, 35, is aiming to ride in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham in March.
Hill and his wife Lawney have worked closely with Pendleton since her switch to becoming an amateur jockey in March 2014, after her retirement from cycling in 2012.
It was her third appearance at a point-to-point meeting, following a series of rides in flat races, and she is likely to be riding again next weekend.
Hereford County Hospital declared an "internal incident" after beds were closed due to sickness and diarrhoea on inpatient wards.
The number of people requiring admission is also up by 16% on the same period last year, the hospital said.
A spokesman said it has postponed some routine operations after the situation "worsened over the weekend".
Richard Beeken, from the health trust running the 220 bed hospital, said cancelling operations was a "last resort".
He said many of the patients with sickness and diarrhoea were "very poorly" and require "a longer stay in hospital than expected".
When a hospital declares a major incident or internal incident, it indicates the pressure on services has forced the need for special measures to be introduced.
The declaration allows hospital bosses to call in extra staff to help.
Wye Valley NHS Trust said it was working with West Midlands Ambulance Service, the commissioners for healthcare in the county, the Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group and Herefordshire Council to manage the situation.
The plan has been implemented in Dedham, near Colchester, after parking meters were pulled from the ground and their coin slots filled with glue.
The meters have been targeted since parking charges were introduced last year.
Dedham Parish Council chairwoman Sheila Beeton said she hoped the "novel" idea would end a "persistent problem".
Colchester Borough Council, which manages the car park with the parish council, is offering two years' free parking for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for causing the criminal damage.
The parking would be worth up to £2,920.
The borough council originally attempted to introduce parking charges in 2013, but shelved the idea because of concerns about the effect on tourism and businesses.
But the charges of up to £4 a day for those using the Mill Lane and Mill Pond car parks were introduced in April 2014.
Within days of the new regime, coin slots in the meters were filled with glue, preventing their use.
And in November, a 4x4 was used to pull one of the meters out of the ground. At that stage all of the main meters were removed.
Mrs Beeton said: "There is no reason to believe there is a huge vendetta by the whole community. I tend to think it is just a couple of people."
The parking meters are set to be restored with barriers used as protection.
Mrs Beeton said the majority of people who used the car park were visitors and that any money raised would be used for community facilities.
Colchester borough councillor Nick Barlow said the council was "determined" to find the vandals and urged anyone with information to come forward.
A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report praised the trust for outperforming targets for non-urgent calls.
SCAS is the first ambulance trust in England to receive a "good" rating.
The CQC said "improvements are needed" over issues including higher-than-average call waiting times.
Chief executive of the service Will Hancock said: "This is fabulous news for our organisation as we are the first and only ambulance trust to get a good rating across ambulance trusts in England."
"Good" is the CQC's second highest of four rankings - showing a service is performing well and meeting its expectations.
The CQC report was based on inspections carried out in May. The trust provides ambulance services to Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.
All ambulances in the UK are supposed to respond to at least 75% of Red 1 calls - when someone becomes unresponsive and has a life-threatening condition like a cardiac arrest - within eight minutes.
The same target is set for Red 2 calls - when a person has a potentially life-threatening condition such as a stroke.
SCAS responded to 73.67% of Red 1 calls within eight minutes and 71.53% of Red 2 calls in May 2016.
Deputy chief inspector Professor Edward Baker said: "Through no fault of the ambulance services, its vehicles are often facing prolonged delays at some acute hospitals' emergency departments.
"For people needing an urgent response, the consequences can be serious."
In June it was reported that ambulances were forced to queue at some hospitals in the region due to lack of space at hospital accident and emergency (A&E) departments.
The CQC reported that at times, 16 ambulances were stacked up at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, a third of the overall ambulances in the Hampshire region.
Fire crews were called to Rowan Court in Barry at 01:00 GMT.
Heavy rain and strong winds hit Wales on Saturday forcing more travel disruption with several roads flooded.
It comes as engineers battled to restore power to thousands of homes without electricity in mid and north Wales.
ScottishPower said it hoped to have customers reconnected by midnight.
Two flood warnings and 19 alerts have been issued by Natural Resources Wales.
As fresh storms move in, the Welsh government said it was waiting to hear if funding would be available from the UK government to help businesses.
It follow the prime minister's "no penny pinching" pledge on flood relief.
The Met Office issued a yellow "be aware" alert of downpours stretching across south, west and mid Wales on Saturday.
There could be between 5 and 10mm of rain within an hour, with the risk of localised flooding.
Two flood warnings were in place on Saturday afternoon.
Warnings for the Conwy valley and the River Wye at Monmouth were stood down.
And a yellow alert for ice is in place from Saturday evening into Sunday morning.
An alert for high winds across south and west Wales was later stood down but not before 17 people were evacuated from their flats in Barry after part of the roof was blown off in storms overnight.
There were no reports of any injuries but the flats were said to have been been badly damaged by the wind and flooding.
Joanne Curtis, whose 86-year-old mother's flat was drenched overnight, said: "The main damage is in the two bedrooms - water coming through the ceiling.
"The bed's totally saturated. The carpet's saturated.
"It's coming through where the lights are, through the electrics, so all the electricity's turned off at the moment."
And in Cardiff, James Roberts, 25, and his father had a lucky escape when a tree hit their house.
"We were both in bed when we heard a large part of a tree crash on to our house," he said.
"We're a bit shaken, but grateful we came to no harm. We can't see any structural damage but it's too dangerous for us to go outside.
"It came crashing down from about 40 feet. We thought we were safe on a hill, but not from wind."
Bad weather also caused travel disruption on Saturday morning:
On Friday, it was confirmed that the storms on Wednesday had claimed the life of a Gwynedd man.
Bob Thomas, 77, died in hospital after sustaining head injuries at his home near Caernarfon.
He had been with his wife in their garden at Caeathro moving hens when a tree fell and hit him.
High winds across north and mid Wales through Friday meant work to restore power supplies to thousands of properties was hampered.
On Saturday evening ScottishPower said engineers were still working to restore power to 2,800 homes.
Earlier, Guy Jefferson, network operations director for ScottishPower, said nearly 3,000 customers were still cut off after Wednesday's storm and a further 1,000 lost power on Friday night in north Wales after "another bad night".
He told BBC Radio Wales: "There's pockets [without power] right across north Wales, but the main areas are Gwynedd, around Aberystwyth, Newtown and across to Dee valley where we have most of our customers off."
He said engineers were out at "first light" and the company hoped to restore power for most by Saturday evening, although he warned it may be a "struggle" to reconnect those who were cut off on Friday.
He apologised to customers for the inconvenience and thanked them for their patience, adding: "In one day, on Wednesday in north Wales, we had the equivalent of one year's worth of overhead line falls."
The power company has now offered to meet the cost of buying meals for those affected since Wednesday's storms.
It said it would pay up to ??30 per person a day, if they retained their receipts.
Tony Fuse in Gellilydan, near Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd, is just one of those who spent 30 hours without power.
"It was my partner's birthday you see, and there was a power cut which started at about 3:45pm on Wednesday," he explained.
"We had intended to have a takeaway and a quiet night in at home, we had arranged for the little one to go over to stay with his grandma for the evening.
"We spent ages driving around trying to find somewhere open. It was pitch black and a lot of trees had fallen down, which made driving quite tricky."
But while for some the clear up is under way, others are still counting the cost of the storms - especially businesses.
The Welsh government said it was now waiting to see whether funding would be made available by the UK government to ease that financial pain.
David Cameron has said businesses hit by the floods in England will be able to claim 100% tax relief on business rates for three months.
They will also be able to defer their tax payment.
The Welsh government will be eligible for a share of any extra funding that is released by the Treasury.
But if the money spent in England comes from the financial reserves of Whitehall departments, then Wales will not qualify for more cash.
Not that long ago in terms of time but a relative eternity in the lives of these two clubs.
That semi-final was the strangest kind of procession for Ronny Deila's team. On the face of it, a 2-0 victory might suggest that it was relatively close, when it was not.
A two-goal deficit might hint that the gap between them at that point wasn't that large, when, in reality, it was.
Everybody knew the score. Rangers avoided a humiliation, but there was no denying the difference in class and feel-good. The clubs were worlds apart.
Now that the sides have been drawn together in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup, back at Hampden in mid-April, the starting pistol has sounded on the countdown. It will be exhaustive, as ever.
When the draw was made, you didn't know what to reach for first - the telephone or the tin hat. Both will be useful in the six-week build-up to this thing.
While Glasgow football's own version of a Victorian Odditorium begins to unfold, it's safe to say that the managers of the three other clubs left in the draw will be relieved.
Mixu Paatelainen, of Dundee United, will be left in relative peace between now and then to focus on trying to perform a grand feat of escapology from the foot of the Premiership.
His team will face either Alan Stubbs' Hibernian or John Hughes' Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who drew on Sunday and will replay on 16 March.
Paatelainen and one from Stubbs and Hughes will have a low-key journey to their own semi-final compared to Deila and Mark Warburton.
As the semi-finals approach, they may gripe a little about not getting the same profile as Rangers and Celtic, but they surely won't envy Warburton and Deila and the unending circus they are about to be pitched into.
Quite a lot has changed for Rangers and Celtic since Hampden in February last year, when Leigh Griffiths and Kris Commons scored the decisive goals.
Rangers, in those dog days, were being managed, in the short-term, by Kenny McDowall, a guy who spent most of his brief time in the Ibrox hot seat fumbling around for the ejector button.
There was rancour and mayhem off the pitch and confusion and failure on it. In their 10 games preceding the Celtic semi-final, Rangers drew with Alloa Athletic at Ibrox in the Championship and then lost to them in the Petrofac Cup. They also lost to Hearts, Queen of the South and Hibs - on a cumulative score of 8-0.
Ally McCoist had gone on gardening leave. The team that played Celtic had Steve Simonsen in goal with Ian Black, Kyle Hutton and Fraser Aird in the midfield.
After they got beaten by Celtic, their next two games were against Raith Rovers at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup and against Hibs in the Championship, again at Ibrox. They lost both of them.
Then they had a win against Raith Rovers followed by five successive draws - Falkirk, Cowdenbeath, Queen of the South, Livingston and Alloa. Stuart McCall was in charge by then - their third manager of the season.
Celtic, meanwhile, were motoring nicely. Their win over Rangers was of one of eight in a row. That run was only stopped by Inter Milan, in the Europa League knockout stages.
Deila's side drew a thrilling first leg 3-3 at home and were admirable in defeat at the San Siro, their 1-0 loss coming late, despite playing with 10 men for much of the night after Virgil van Dijk's red card.
Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven had just come in from Dundee United. Things looked promising for Deila, but things changed, in both sides of the city.
Now it is Celtic's manager who is unpopular and a little haunted. Now it is Celtic who are faltering in the league and drawing the heat from their supporters. Now it is Celtic fans who are calling for change in ever louder numbers.

Their own team, against Rangers last year, had Van Dijk and Jason Denayer in the heart of the defence where now uncertainty rules.
The midfield had Stefan Johansen, on his way to the player of the year award. Johansen has been a shadow of his previous self this season.
Celtic had Griffiths, but they also had Anthony Stokes and John Guidetti. Now they have Colin Kazim-Richards and Carlton Cole. Kieran Tierney is the one upgrade on 13 months ago.
They have signed vast amounts of players - particularly midfield players - but their policy is unfocused and team is unconvincing. Deila has admitted he doesn't know what his best starting line-up is.
The gap between Rangers and Celtic has narrowed, but until they meet, we won't know what kind of margin we're talking about.
What you can say about the Ibrox club is that the mad turbulence has gone - save for the odd intervention by shareholder and Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley - and that peace reigns.
Warburton has brought authority. He has improved the team in all departments. They haven't had many setbacks this season, but it's instructive to look at what they did after each one.
The wounding 3-1 League Cup loss to St Johnstone at Ibrox in September was followed by five straight wins. November and December were testing months - a loss to Hibs, draws with Livingston and Morton and then another loss to Falkirk had some of us wondering about their mettle - but then they beat Hibs 4-2 and won 11 of their next 13 games and drew the other two.

Warburton has instilled character where before there was huge mental weakness. He has seen off Hibs in the Championship race and, on Saturday, his players thundered past Dundee and into the Scottish Cup semi-final.
They put four goals on Paul Hartley's team, who sit fifth in the Premiership and who had, just three days before, taken a draw, and almost a win, from Celtic Park.
Celtic, and not Dundee, remain the acid test of Rangers' improvement, but the test doesn't look as exacting as it was 13 months ago.
That's the hunch. We'll know more about the truth of that after the craziness of the build-up ends and the football finally begins.

The fire broke out beneath a pavement in Kingsway, Holborn, on Wednesday and was put out on Good Friday morning.
Matthew Gardiner from ticketing specialist Shows in London said eight theatres had to cancel 10 performances over the past two days with a loss of £1.2 million.
"Now one of my big concerns would have been how many small businesses are dependant on these performances," he added.
BBC London's Marc Ashdown reports
The 21-year-old England Under-21 cap, who was introduced to Celtic fans at half-time during Saturday's 3-1 win over St Johnstone, can play in central defence or at left-back.
"So for us he's going to be important," Celtic manager Deila told BBC Scotland.
"He can play two or three positions and he has a lot of ability."
Blackett made 12 appearances for the English Premier League club last season and has had previous loan spells at Blackpool and Birmingham City.
However, his only United appearnces this season have been in pre-season friendlies.
"He's a very good football player, first of all, that's the most important thing and he has high ambitions," said Deila.
"He wants to come and play and be important in a team and at United he has been a little bit out of the team."
The cup - won by Arsenal for the fourth time in its five-year history in 2015 - involves all 19 sides from Women's Super League One and Two.
The six lowest-ranked sides from 2015 were drawn into a preliminary round.
All eight of last season's WSL 1 sides move straight to the first round, and were deliberately drawn away from home.
Manchester City, the 2014 winners, are away to WSL 2 outfit Aston Villa in the first round, while Everton will host Liverpool in a Merseyside derby.
Sheffield v Durham
Oxford United v Millwall Lionesses
Watford v London Bees
Doncaster Rovers Belles v Sunderland
Yeovil Town v Notts County
Oxford United or Millwall Lionesses v Birmingham City
Everton v Liverpool
Aston Villa v Manchester City
Reading v Arsenal
Watford or London Bees v Chelsea
Sheffield or Durham v Bristol City
The preliminary round will take place over the weekend of Saturday 7 May and the first round is scheduled for Saturday 2 July and Sunday 3 July.
It follows a deal being signed between the BBC and developers Rightacres to take the design of the Central Square building to the next stage.
Subject to planning permission, work is expected to start next year with staff moving in during 2018.
BBC Wales' director Rhodri Talfan Davies said it was "another important milestone".
Rightacres chief executive Paul McCarthy said: "Their decision to choose Central Square as their preferred site has generated real momentum for the project."
He said he was hopeful the BBC Wales headquarters would be the centre-piece of the development and the planning application "will signal another major milestone in delivering the vision for Central Square".
The project involves 1,200 staff moving from Llandaff. The city's current bus station will also be relocated.
Cardiff council leader Phil Bale said the development would attract further investment into the wider area and act as a catalyst for the local economy and the community.
Work on nearby offices has already started and the regeneration of Central Square is expected to create 500 construction jobs and eventually see 10,000 people working in the new developments.
Novak Djokovic is second, Roger Federer third and Rafael Nadal fourth seed.
It is the first time since Wimbledon 2014 that the four players have been named top seeds for a Grand Slam and keeps them apart until the semi-finals.
German Angelique Kerber is the top women's seed with Britain's Johanna Konta sixth.
The draw will be held at about 10:00 BST on Friday for the tournament, which starts on Monday, 3 July.
At this stage, only seeds one and two are in opposite sides, so 30-year-old Murray could potentially face Nadal or Federer in the last four

Murray, who won Wimbledon for the second time last year, pulled out of his scheduled warm-up match at the Hurlingham Club on Tuesday with a sore hip but the Scot still plans to play an as-yet-unnamed opponent on Friday.
With the men's seedings taking into account recent grass court form, Djokovic and Federer move up two places from their world ranking, with Nadal and fifth seed Stan Wawrinka dropping two.
The Queen's Club champion Feliciano Lopez is ranked 25, but will be seeded 19th for Wimbledon.
Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas has withdrawn with a knee injury, meaning Spain's Fernando Verdasco is now seeded 31st. Cuevas will be replaced by a lucky loser.
Women's seedings reflect the world rankings, with Simona Halep second behind Kerber, while 26-year-old Konta looks to get further than the second round for the first time.
Defending champion Serena Williams is absent because she is pregnant.
Briton Jamie Murray and his partner Bruno Soares are the third seeds for the men's doubles, which are headed by Henri Kontinen and John Peers.

The festival, at Bramham Park, near Leeds, attracts around 80,000 people over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Attendees often abandon sleeping bags and tents rather than carry them home.
Leeds No Borders, which campaigns on immigration issues, is one of a number of organisations which collects items left behind.
Emily Jennings, from Leeds No Borders, said volunteers had been shocked by the amount and quality of what had been abandoned.
"If we can share just a little with people who have nothing then that is at least one way forward."
Miss Jennings said the equipment they had collected would be sorted and cleaned before being taken to Calais.
Maya Conforti, from L'Auberge Des Migrants in Calais, says the salvaged kit will make a "big difference" at migrant camps.
She said: "There's been torrential rain in the last week which created huge flooding in the Jungle [the nickname of a camp in Calais], the place where the people survive, so we had to distribute tonnes of tents and sleeping bags."
"Conditions are way below international refugee camp standards, there are not enough toilets, the water points are dirty and there's no drainage.
"It's quite awful and there are about 3,500 people who live there. It's a European issue, an international issue."
The armorial was discovered in pieces embedded in Tudor Cottage, in Hanwell near Banbury in March, as builders were taking walls down.
Measuring 2m x 2m (6ft x 6ft) the coat of arms features fleur-de-lys, lions, and griffins or dragons.
It was under the hammer at an auction at JS Auctions, Banbury and expected to fetch between £5,000 and £10,000.
The stone sculpture is believed to be an over-mantle, carved sometime after 1525.
It is thought the stones came to be in the walls of the cottage because of the likelihood it was built using discarded material from Hanwell Castle.
The castle, originally called Hanwell House or Hall, was partly demolished in the 18th Century.
Heavy rain and flooded grounds have forced this weekend's show at Hoghton Tower, near Preston, to be axed for "health and safety" reasons.
The gig by the 2002 Pop Idol winner was part of an annual event to raise funds for Preston's St Catherine's Hospice.
Thousands of people were expected at the weekend-long Symphony at the Tower fundraiser for the charity.
A second classical concert planned as part of the event has also been scrapped and a third, by Joe Bonamassa, has been moved to Preston Guild Hall on Saturday.
Stephen Greenhalgh, chief executive of St Catherine's Hospice, said: "Having thoroughly examined the saturated ground conditions and every option for our flagship event it was with great disappointment that we could not go ahead at Hoghton Tower on grounds of safety."
A spokesman for the promoter said: "The torrential rain this week has made the Hoghton Tower arena site unsafe and, after taking health and safety advice, we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel."
Customers who booked tickets online, or by telephone, will receive an automatic refund within 14 days, organisers said.
Researchers at the University of Sussex said one cell told the snail if it was hungry while the other cell told it if food was present.
The experiments used electrodes to measure brain activity of the molluscs when searching for lettuce.
Lead researcher Prof George Kemenes said the discovery would help engineers design "robot brains".
He said these would be based on the principle of using the fewest possible components necessary to perform complex tasks.
"Our study reveals for the first time how just two neurons can create a mechanism in an animal's brain which drives and optimises complex decision-making tasks," he said.
"It also shows how this system helps to manage how much energy they use once they have made a decision.
"Our findings can help scientists to identify other core neuronal systems which underlie similar decision-making processes."
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
Police had been called to the town's Glenburn Road at about 16:50.
They have refused to comment on reports that the incident involved the attempted abduction of children.
A police presence remains in the area but officers said they were not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
Insp Jo Jollie said: "We appreciate that this was a very concerning incident for the local community and we are treating this with the utmost seriousness.
"I'd urge anyone who was in the area around this time that hasn't spoken to officers and may be able to help with the investigation to contact us."
Jack Letts, 20, dubbed "Jihadi Jack" by some newspapers, is thought to be the first white Briton fighting in Syria.
John Letts, 55, and Sally Lane, 54, have been charged with making money available for terrorism purposes.
The pair are accused of sending money to their son, and will appear in court for a plea hearing on 17 November.
Mr Letts and Ms Lane, both of Chilswell Road, Oxford, were charged on 9 June.
They are accused of three counts of entering into a funding arrangement contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000.
Ms Lane is further charged with attempting to provide money knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect that it may be used for a terrorist purpose, contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000.
They were remanded in custody but, after appearing at the Old Bailey, Judge Mr Justice Saunders granted the pair bail.
The couple's defence barrister Di Middleton promised they would not attempt to send any more money to their son, and had not done so while on police bail.
Mr Letts and Ms Lane are both accused of transferring £223 on 2 September last year, £1,000 on 31 December 2015 and £500 on 4 January 2016.
Ms Lane is charged with two further counts of attempting to provide money or property knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect it could be used for the purpose of terrorism.
Westminster Magistrates' Court heard she attempted to send two payments of £500 to her son on 4 January 2016.
The pair were both released on bail and a trial has been set at a London court on 9 January 2017, which is expected to last up to four weeks.
The US company said the offer was "financially inadequate", but left the door open for a potentially higher bid.
Hugh Grant, Monsanto chief executive, said the proposal significantly undervalued the company.
He also raised concerns about whether a deal would be approved by regulators.
Monsanto shares rose 3.1% to $109.30 in late trading in New York, while Bayer rose 3.2% to €87.15 in Frankfurt.
Bayer called its bid an "extraordinary opportunity to create a global agriculture leader".
The German group offered $122 a share in cash, making it the largest all-cash offer, according to Thomson Reuters data - just pipping InBev's $60.4bn offer for Anheuser-Busch in June 2008.
It was not clear what price Monsanto would accept, but analysts have suggested that Bayer would have to pay significantly more to secure a deal.
JPMorgan analysts wrote: "We believe it is unlikely that the deal gets done at $122 and still believe $135 is a more likely price."
The deal comes amid considerable consolidation in the agricultural sector.
ChemChina plans to buy Syngenta for $43bn after the Swiss-based company rejected a bid from Monsanto, while Dow Chemical and DuPont are forming a $130bn business.
With German rival BASF having previously considered a deal with Monsanto, Bayer is attempting not to be left behind.
A merged Monsanto/Bayer would have a commanding position in markets including the US, Europe and Asia.
The Mercedes driver edged one ahead of the seven-time champion with his fifth career win at the Hungaroring on Sunday.
Hamilton said: "When you think that I grew up watching Michael, so to now have had similar, or one more, than he had here is just incredible.
"I wouldn't have [achieved it] without the great people I have worked with."
He paid tribute to both his current team and McLaren, with whom he took three of his four previous wins in Hungary, in 2007, 2009 and 2012.
He also won in his first year with Mercedes in 2013 but before Sunday the team had not claimed victory at the track since the introduction of hybrid engines in 2014.
Hamilton's victory on Sunday was the 48th of his career, which puts him only three behind Alain Prost as the second-most successful driver of all time in terms of wins.
Schumacher, who Hamilton replaced at Mercedes at the end of 2012, has 91.
Schumacher remains in recuperation from severe head injuries suffered in a skiing accident in December 2013.
He has not been seen in public since the injury and the extent of his recovery is unknown. His manager Sabine Kehm said in February that she hoped "one day he will be back with us".
Hamilton's win on Sunday moved him into the lead of the world championship for the first time this year - he now leads team-mate Nico Rosberg by six points, having gained 49 points on the German in the last six races.
Hamilton said: "I honestly feel we are in the strongest position we have been all year in terms of our performance and how unified we are."
Hungarian Grand Prix race results
In a news story that went viral this week it was reported that she had said key words around her phone which then appeared on Facebook.
Prof Burns says there was a practical explanation for what had happened.
Facebook has previously told the BBC it does not allow brands to target advertising based on microphone data.
"Some recent articles have suggested that we must be listening to people's conversations in order to show them relevant ads. This is not true," Facebook said in a statement.
"We show ads based on people's interests and other profile information - not what you're talking out loud about."
Prof Burns, a social media expert from the University of South Florida, sat with a reporter from US-based News Channel 8 and mentioned African safaris and the car brand Jeep.
When she checked her Facebook news feed, the first post on her timeline was from a friend who had written about an African safari which someone had commented on three hours earlier.
"Nowhere have I heard anything about Facebook serving you your friends' posts based on what you are saying or Googling," she said.
"This friend has a lot of friends, and gets a lot of engagement, it's no surprise that it would be at the top of my feed."
She also saw an advert for Volkswagen, which is the brand of vehicle she owns herself.
"Although the angle of the story was supportive of the idea that Facebook uses the microphone I never made the claim that I believe that is happening, or that my one experiment with a reporter was in any way proof of that happening," she added.
She said she feels the story has been "blown out of proportion" but that she has since heard from other people who believe it has also happened to them.
"I believe there are a lot of strange circumstances and coincidences out there and people are looking for those," said Prof Burns.
"The fact that this story has gone global says a lot about people's concerns about privacy.
"I am not a scientist or a privacy expert - but I never said in that story that I believe Facebook can hear you."
Earlier this year, the BBC performed its own experiment with several Android smartphones to see if it was possible to turn them into eavesdropping devices.
Security experts managed to create an app that could listen in to conversations for prolonged periods without draining the phone's battery.
When quizzed, both Google and Facebook denied that they would use such a capability to tailor adverts and content for users.
Facebook also said that its ads are based only around information shared by members on the social network and their net surfing habits elsewhere.
Earlier this month, Mr Hoare apologised after calling the Isle of Wight a "ghetto" where there had been "inbreeding".
On Tuesday, Ofsted issued a statement saying he was resigning with immediate effect.
Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner said Mr Hoare's comments had been "inaccurate, insulting and extremely unhelpful".
Mr Hoare said in his resignation statement: "It has been a great privilege to chair the Ofsted board for the past two years."
He had chaired the board of England's education watchdog - setting the strategic direction for the more high-profile role of chief inspector, currently held by Sir Michael Wilshaw.
Mr Hoare's comments about the underachievement of poor white pupils on the Isle of Wight, made at a teaching conference, had prompted calls for his resignation.
"Most people go there for sailing for two weeks a year. There's a sailing club that is one of the best in the world, where there's champagne," he had said.
"But just within inches, there are people who live in a ghetto ... They think of it as holiday land. But it is shocking. It's a ghetto; there has been inbreeding."
Mr Hoare spoke of educational underachievement and social problems.
"Seven state schools were all less than good.
"There is a mass of crime, drug problems, huge unemployment."
Mr Hoare later said: "My intention was to highlight how concerned I am about the unacceptably poor performance of schools on the Isle of Wight over many years and how this is damaging the prospects of young people who live on the island.
"Those who know me will realise that I am passionate about improving outcomes for children from our most disadvantaged communities and my comments were made in this context."
Education Secretary Justine Greening, accepting his resignation, said: "I would like to thank David for his hard work in this role over the past two years."
Labour's shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, said: "His position became increasingly untenable after he made those shockingly offensive comments. He demonised the entire population of the Isle of Wight."
James Kempton, a member of the Ofsted board, will take over as Ofsted chairman on an interim basis.
Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner said: "The role of Ofsted is to help improve education, not demoralise teachers, insult parents and pupils and those involved in raising education standards.
"His resignation, albeit somewhat delayed was probably inevitable and clearly for the best.
"I said at the time that he would never have dared make such remarks about an area with a high ethnic population, and I stand by that view."
Jonathan Bacon, leader of the Isle of Wight Council, said that standards were improving in the island's schools.
He invited Mr Hoare's successor to visit the Isle of Wight "in order to learn more about the challenges we face and ensure that Ofsted is playing the fullest possible part, working alongside the other agencies, to support the further improvement of educational outcomes".
Kevin Courtney, leader of the National Union of Teachers, said it was "correct" that Mr Hoare had resigned, saying that his comments had been "insulting and ill-judged".
"Schools and teachers in areas facing challenges need constructive support and fair evaluation not denigration. It's all too easy to throw insults around rather than exploring realistic answers."
At the 2015 British Fashion Awards, Jonathan Anderson became the first person to be named both the menswear and womenswear designer of the year.
The exhibition will feature his designs as well as those by the likes of Christian Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier.
They will be alongside work by artists like Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
The 31-year-old designer has confessed to being "obsessed" with 20th Century British art and cited the likes of Moore, Hepworth and Graham Sutherland as inspirations.
He promises "provocative" combinations as work by artists Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas and Dorothea Tanning is "brought into direct dialogue" with garments by Rei Kawakubo, Helmut Lang and Issey Miyake.
Anderson said: "This is a rare and exciting opportunity for me to bring together some of the works of art and fashion that long inspired my own creative work and to see what happens when these objects rub up against each other.
"I want the exhibition to mirror the speed and unexpected encounters that characterise the way in which we consume images today, as well as being a space in which to explore ideas of gender and identity that have been an ongoing part of my creative practice."
The designer, from Northern Ireland, is known for blurring the line between men's and womenswear and streamed a menswear show on gay social networking app Grindr in January.
The exhibition, titled Disobedient Bodies, will run from 18 March to 18 June 2017.

Instead of conducting three separate assessments over several weeks, it will now combine the process into one day.
The firm says the change will mean applicants will find out if they have got a job within two working days.
It made the change following research suggesting millennials were frustrated by lengthy recruitment processes.
KPMG said its survey- conducted among 400 of this summer's new graduates applying for a graduate job at a UK firm - found that more than one-third were annoyed about how long they had to wait to hear the outcome of an interview, and how long the recruitment process took.
But the biggest complaint, made by more than half of those surveyed, was about not receiving any feedback if they were unsuccessful.
KPMG chairman Simon Collins said the company felt it had to make the changes to make sure it could compete with smaller start-up or tech firms, which often offer a faster recruitment process, to secure the best graduate employees.
"We are competing with the full gamut for the best brains and talent leaving university: getting our graduate recruitment right is crucial to the long-term success of our business," he said.
The accountancy firm's move comes in the wake of several other big firms shaking up their graduate recruitment process.
In June, Goldman Sachs said it had scrapped face-to-face interviews on university campuses in a bid to attract a wider range of talent.
The US investment bank has now switched to video interviews with first-round undergraduate candidates, in a move aimed at helping it to attract graduate recruits from a broader range of disciplines.
And last year, professional services firm professional services firm Deloitte said it had changed its selection process so recruiters did not know where candidates had gone to school or university.
It said the move was aimed at preventing "unconscious bias" and recruiting a more diverse "talent pool".
Millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025.
Several surveys suggest that these younger workers are not motivated by the same factors as previous generations, such as a job for life, but instead value a good work-life balance and a sense of purpose beyond financial success. | She hadn't officially won yet but she hadn't lost.

Thirty-two-year-old Catherine Kenny was found dead in a shop doorway at the corner of Donegall Place and Castle Lane on Saturday morning.
Her sister, Lee-Marie Hughes, told the BBC that Catherine's death left her feeling "devastated" and "heartbroken".
Police are investigating the cause of her death but a crime is not suspected.
Catherine Kenny is the fifth person to die in Belfast this year who had been receiving help from homeless charities.
Ms Hughes described her sister as a caring person who, "would have helped the lowest in society".
She also spoke of how drugs had a significant impact on Catherine's life.
"We had a very intense and long battle with Catherine and her addiction to alcohol and drugs," she told the Stephen Nolan show.
"We've been dealing with this since Catherine was 16, but, back then, it was never hard drugs. But then they gripped her with a vengeance."
Mrs Hughes husband, Darren, said Catherine had tried on numerous occasions to turn her life around.
"Catherine got to a dark place and unfortunately tried many times to come back on the path again but wasn't able to.
"I firmly believe that a lot of that was from not being able to avail of residential detox and addictions care.
"She kind of just moved around to try and start somewhere afresh - a fresh start would be a fresh outlook on life, but unfortunately the demons just followed her".
The Extern charity said it had worked with Ms Kenny and had offered her emergency accommodation.
Danny McQuillan, a direct with Extern, said it was a "complete tragedy that once again another homeless person has died on our streets".
"Nobody should be living and certainly nobody should be dying on our streets in 2016," he said.
Ms Kenny was found by a passerby who knew her.
James Edwards told the BBC: "I walked past her and I noticed her sleeping bag wasn't wrapped around her."
He noticed that something was wrong when he tried to cover her with the sleeping bag, and the emergency services were called to the scene.
"She was a really, really nice girl and she didn't have a bad bone in her body," Mr Edwards said.
"It's just an awful shame - this girl could have had help."
Last month, the lord mayor of Belfast held an emergency meeting of agencies that work with the homeless following the death of a man in a shop doorway in High Street on 24 February.
The blaze broke out in the basement bar of the Bancourt Hotel in Torquay, Devon, in the early hours of Sunday.
Three people were injured, including a staff member, and taken to Torbay District Hospital.
Police called the fire "reckless and purposeful" and said it could have had "fatal consequences".
More on the arson probe at young farmers' hotel, and other Devon news
Up to 80 guests, all of whom were young farmers, were evacuated from the hotel in Avenue Road when the fire broke out at just after midnight on Sunday.
The National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs' (NFYFC) annual convention was being held in Torquay this weekend.
Ten fire engines attended the scene, and firefighters spent several hours scouring the building to ensure everyone was accounted for.
Two people suffered from the effects of smoke inhalation and another sustained a cut to the arm.
All of the hotel's guests, more than 100 people, were given overnight accommodation at the Riviera International Conference Centre.
The bar area suffered what was described as "significant" damage and the rest of the building was affected by smoke.
Det Sgt Andy Penhaligon from Torquay CID, said: "Fortunately, there were only three minor injuries but this reckless and purposeful action could have had far more serious, even fatal, consequences.
"I would pay credit to the firefighters and police officers, plus the hotel owners and staff, whose swift actions and partnership work ensured the safety of guests and members of the public."
He appealed for anyone who saw suspicious activity around the hotel to come forward.
The young farmers involved are understood all to be from two Welsh clubs, Brecknock and Radnor.
They had been attending a prince and princess-themed fancy dress night, and local shops and Torbay Council came to the rescue with donations of clothes, towels and bedding, the NFYFC said.
Heather Black from the NFYFC said: "We were immediately able to move into action to find those young people, some of which were in the centre with us and some which were across the town.
"We were very pleased to be able to find them all very quickly. We had great help from local services to do that."
The NFYFC said it has set up an incident telephone line for anyone concerned about a family member at the convention, on 07495 903 430.
Construction of the mosque, on Boultham Park Road, officially began earlier.
Chairman of the Islamic Association Tanweer Ahmed, said the facility which he described as "long overdue", would promote the true message of Islam.
He said non-Muslims were also very welcome to visit.
Mr Ahmed said: "It has been 10 years since the project began - we've been through good times, bad times, disappointment, but the day has finally come."
He said the mosque would "engage more actively" with men, women and particularly with the younger generation of Muslims.
The building will provide facilities to pray, a library, funeral preparation room, and space for community activities.
Local Muslims have been worshipping at a small former Baptist church since 1981, and holding Friday prayers at the Grandstand Community Centre.
Mr Ahmed said larger premises were needed because the Muslim population of Lincoln had "grown rapidly" and there was a "strong feeling we needed our own place which we could use anytime we wanted."
There were plans to build a mosque on the site of the former St Matthew's Church, close to the current site. However, it was destroyed by fire in 2008.
The building on Boultham Park Road is due to open next year.
Arms around each other, beaming from ear to ear - check out the video here: Japan's Softbank chief meets with US President-elect.
But why is Masayoshi Son, one of Japan's most eccentric businessmen, investing in Trump's America at a time when the US is seemingly focusing less on Asia?
Here are three reasons:
Softbank paid $22bn (£17.3bn) for a controlling stake in US telecoms firm Sprint in 2013, which was the number 3 operator at that time. But that investment has lost around $7bn of its value largely because Sprint lost ground against its competitors.
One of the ways Softbank had hoped to claw back a profit was by buying T-Mobile, Sprint's main competition in the States. But that deal took a backseat after US regulators signalled they weren't in favour.
Cosying up to the new US president by doing a deal that makes him look good would be one way to smoothe those regulatory issues in the future.
Japan isn't really the centre of innovation and technology as it once was, Marc Einstein at Frost & Sullivan tells me. He covers the sector from Tokyo, and as he put it, "Japan has really fallen behind on tech".
So being in the US and having a foothold in the sector would give Masayoshi Son access to Silicon Valley, and more importantly, what people there are thinking and doing and what the future of IoT (Internet of Things) looks like.
The camaraderie between the two men is hard to miss - just look at that video again if you need convincing. "They're both billionaires, they're both mavericks and they're both gamblers," says Mr Einstein.
"I can see them sitting down and having a positive discussion." According to Mr Einstein the two are likely to share a good rapport - and that means they "understand one another and speak each other's language" - which perhaps suggests both sides understand what a good deal means.
The $50bn that Masayoshi Son has bet on the new relationship with the president-elect isn't small change by any account. Creating 50,000 jobs is also no small feat to achieve.
Having said that, the $50bn is coming from a previously announced $100bn Saudi venture - that was created before the election - so some would argue this was money that was coming the US's way in any case.
But Mr Trump has rushed to claim this as his victory.
The Japanese business leader's investment will no doubt be used as evidence by the Trump team that even as it pulls out of global trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership, the US is open for business - and that companies like Softbank are breaking down the door to get in.
Homes on the Shimmer estate in Mexborough, South Yorkshire will be cleared to make way for the high-speed rail line.
No new stations have been announced for the area, with a spur serving Sheffield using existing track.
The government said HS2 will create a "stronger and fairer" Britain.
More updates on this story and others in South Yorkshire
The proposed South Yorkshire HS2 route, part of phase 2b of the project, runs east of Sheffield towards the M18 and was consulted in 2016.
A Department for Transport report states the route requires 16 residential demolitions on the Shimmer estate, with people affected arranging compensation packages with the government.
Sue Douglas, a Shimmer resident, said: "We've had a year in limbo, our health has been affected by this and we no longer feel like it's our home.
"It's an unfinished estate, there are unfinished houses, no proper roads, no proper pavements."
Some people living on the Shimmer estate have signs on their doors saying "Stop HS2", others have a temporary 'no media' taped below.
It shows how angry and dispirited many have become since the BBC revealed the new route a year ago.
Today then was a rubber stamp on what they had feared.
This is not just about the value of bricks and mortar, but the notion of "home" itself.
It seems likely many will choose to sell up and move on - for some their second move in three years.
Her husband, Peter Douglas, said: "There is only one way in and out of the estate and we have been told by HS2 that nobody would be allowed to live here because of the construction traffic coming in and out, blocking the access.
"Bear in mind this is the construction of a viaduct that's going to be 20ft in the sky coming within 10ft of your property, and they say, 'it's ok, your property isn't one that has to be knocked down.'"
Rotherham's Labour MP Sarah Champion tweeted she was "furious" at the eastern line decision as South Yorkshire "won't get a proper stop".
She said: "Thousands of us submitted to the HS2 consultation and showed why the eastern route was not as suitable as the Meadowhall route.
"South Yorkshire will now get all of the disruption of HS2 without the benefit."
In response to the 2016 route consultation, 271 people supported the eastern option, with 4,157 respondents against it.
At the Shimmer estate, some respondents argued that the plans should take into account all 216 homes originally planned at the site.
Rail Minister Paul Maynard MP said: "I recognise that we need to work with the people of the Shimmer estate to make sure they have as many choices as possible over how they are compensated and the compensation package works for them.
"It's quite a unique location on the network, so we need to work with local people to get it just right."
Ros Jones, Mayor of Doncaster, said: "The Secretary of State has chosen the route that nobody wanted, despite the overwhelming evidence against it and public opposition to it.
"His decision will destroy people's homes and damage communities, deliver fewer trains, slower services, and reduce job creation and economic growth."
No details were released about a mooted HS2 "parkway" station providing a rail park and ride facility for the South Yorkshire region.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said the £55.7bn HS2 project would connect London to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and the East Midlands in a Y-shaped network.
Phase 2b from Crewe to Manchester, and Birmingham to the East Midlands and Leeds, is due to open in 2033.
Housebuilders will be asked provide more funding where new houses create "a clear need" for new schools.
The local authority has warned that existing schools are struggling to cope with rising pupil rolls.
Councillors have agreed that increased rates of contributions should form part of negotiations on new housing.
For every house a developer builds they could now be asked for £6,983 towards primary schools and £3,449 towards secondary schools.
Previously, the amounts involved were about £2,000.
Earlier this week, Highland Council said forecasted new house building would see the city's five secondary schools go over capacity within 15 years.
Some primary schools in Inverness and the surrounding area already have overcrowding issues, and are using temporary accommodation as extra classrooms.
The reservoirs in Walthamstow provide water to millions of households but will also become a nature reserve and home for wildlife.
The project was given the go-ahead after receiving a £4.4m boost from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Extra funding has come from Waltham Forest Council and Thames Water.
Dr Tom Tew, a trustee for the Heritage Lottery Fund and former chief scientist at Natural England, said: "High-quality green space is at a premium in our cities, and once completed this wetland area will provide the perfect nature spot for millions of Londoners to relax and enjoy."
The 2013 State of Nature report found that 57% of freshwater and wetland species such as the water vole have declined over the last 50 years due to water pollution, climate change and diseases spreading from non-native species.
At 200 hectares the nature reserve will be bigger than many of Londoner's green spaces, including Richmond Park and Hampstead Heath.
The project will be managed between Thames Water, which handles the reservoirs, and the London Wildlife Trust, which will manage the site once work is completed.
Waltham Forest Council is investing £1m in the scheme alongside Thames Water, which is contributing £1.84m.
The lottery funding will help pay for four new entrances, footpaths and cycle pathways and a former pumping station will be converted into a visitor centre featuring a cafe, exhibition space and viewing terrace.
The American says he also accepted bribes over the 1998 event.
The admissions come in a newly released transcript from a 2013 US hearing in which he pleads guilty to 10 charges.
The US has launched a wide-ranging criminal case that engulfed Fifa and led President Sepp Blatter to resign.
The US prosecutors last week indicted 14 people on charges of bribery, racketeering and money laundering. Four others had already been charged, including Mr Blazer.
The US justice department alleges they accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
Seven of the 14 were top Fifa officials who were arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, as they awaited the Fifa congress. Two were vice-presidents.
The details of Mr Blazer's guilty pleas came as prosecutors unsealed the transcript of the 2013 hearing in the Eastern New York District Court. The admissions are part of a sentencing deal with prosecutors.
Mr Blazer was the second highest official in Fifa's North and Central American and Caribbean region (Concacaf) from 1990 to 2011 and also served on Fifa's executive committee between 1997 and 2013.
How Fifa makes and spends its money
How can Fifa reform itself?
In the transcript, prosecutors refer to Fifa "and its membership or constituent organisation" as a RICO enterprise - a Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organisation.
Mr Blazer says: "Beginning in or around 2004 and continuing through 2011, I and others on the Fifa executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup."
Earlier on Wednesday, South Africa denied paying a $10m bribe to secure the hosting of the 2010 event.
Mr Blazer also says: "I and others agreed to accept bribes and kickbacks in conjunction with the broadcast and other rights to the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Gold Cups (the regional championship for national teams)."
Other admissions among the 10 charges in the 40-page dossier include US tax evasion.
Federal agents investigating the tax evasion had detained Mr Blazer and he agreed to co-operate in the US investigations.
He is said to have agreed to record his colleagues using a microphone hidden in a keychain.
The 70-year-old is said to be seriously ill, suffering from colon cancer.
In addition to the US case, Swiss authorities have launched a criminal investigation into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were allocated.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Blatter was given a 10-minute standing ovation by some 400 staff as he returned to Fifa's Zurich headquarters a day after announcing he was to step down.
Reportedly close to tears, he urged his "fantastic team" to "stay strong".
He emphasised the reform work that Fifa now needed to undertake.
In his resignation speech on Tuesday, he said that although he was re-elected president by the congress last Friday it appeared the mandate he had been given did "not seem to be supported by everybody in the world of football".

Filmed by US troops in China, the clip was found by government-funded researchers at Seoul National University in US archives.
The 18-second clip shows several women lined up talking to a Chinese soldier.
South Korean activists estimate 200,000 women were forced into brothels for Japan's military.
They are believed to have been mainly from Korea, but also from China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
Until now, the only records of women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War Two had been photographs and survivor testimonials.
The research team says the footage was filmed by joint US-Chinese troops in China's Yunnan province which was previously occupied by Japan.
The seven Korean women were freed in 1944 and the officer speaking with them has been identified as a Chinese captain of the China-US Combined Force, the team said.
The issue has long strained the relationship between South Korea and Japan over a perceived lack of adequate apology and compensation from Japan.
In 2015, the two countries reached a settlement whereby Tokyo formally apologised and agreed to pay 1bn yen ($8.3m, £5.6m) to fund victims.
Many Koreans though viewed the apology as insufficient and the issue continues to plague ties.
In January, Japan temporarily withdrew its ambassador to South Korea over a "comfort women" statue placed outside the Japanese consulate in Busan.
A similar statue has also been placed outside Japan's consulate in Seoul, and Tokyo wants both these statues to be removed.
The Swede scored four goals as PSG demolished Troyes 9-0 to seal the Ligue 1 trophy with eight games left.

"If they replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of me, then I will stay."
Ibrahimovic has recently been linked with moves to Manchester United and Major League Soccer in the United States.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said that he wants Ibrahimovic to stay when his contract ends in June.
"Zlatan is magical," he said. "He is a great player. We are going to talk him and see what he wants to do. We want him to stay."
Ibrahimovic's four goals on Sunday included a 10-minute hat-trick, which took his league total to 27 in 24 games this season and increased his tally in the French top flight to 102.
The victory over the bottom club sealed a fourth straight title after just 30 games, a record for one of Europe's 'big five' leagues.
Qatari Al-Khelaifi added that PSG will now target a maiden Champions League triumph having beaten Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the last 16.
"We must now stay focused because the season is not finished," he said.
"We have three more cups to fight for (Champions League, French League Cup and French Cup) but the Champions League is our biggest dream.
"We want to go as far as possible but we know there will be some very strong teams."
Their only major European trophy to date was the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996.
Coach Laurent Blanc told beIN Sports: "We did what we needed to do, particularly in the second period.
"From day one we've wanted to set a rhythm that would be difficult to match.
"We did it and we've maintained it. We know that no-one can match us."
Mr Sobotka is unhappy about alleged unexplained business dealings of Mr Babis, a billionaire businessman.
The announcement comes less than six months before parliamentary elections.
Mr Sobotka has said he will meet the president in the coming days to formally submit the resignations.
The BBC's Rob Cameron in Prague says that Czechs have have had more than three years of more or less stable coalition government under Mr Sobotka, a mild-mannered social democrat.
But that stability has now come to an end because of the bitter rivalry between him and Mr Babis.
Their dispute came to a head over claims Mr Babis had avoided paying taxes on bonds issued by his own company.
Mr Sobotka argues that it is unacceptable for Mr Babis to remain as finance minister.
Mr Babis's centrist ANO party is far ahead of Mr Sobotka's centre-left CSSD in the opinion polls, our correspondent says, and this act of brinksmanship will be seen very much as pre-election manoeuvring.
Seven vehicles, including a bus with 18 passengers, were involved in the first collision which happened at 09:20 at Drumossie Brae near Inverness.
No-one was injured in this incident, police said.
A man in his 50s was airlifted to hospital following the second accident which happened at about 09:30 at the A9's Carrbridge junction.
The trunk road was fully reopened at about 11:30.
Police Scotland said the low-lying sun was a factor in the first accident, which also involved the drivers of a Ford Ranger, Ford Fiesta, Citroen C3, Volkswagen Passat, Mitsubishi Shogun and a Seat Ibiza.
The second accident involved the drivers of a a Volkswagen Crafter flatbed van and a lorry.
An injured man, who was in the van, was flown by air ambulance to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
Sgt Donnie MacKinnon, of Police Scotland's road policing unit, said: "We believe a contributory factor in the collision on the A9 at Drumossie has been the presence of a low lying sun, causing reduced visibility for drivers.
"It is fortunate no-one has sustained life-threatening injuries and that of course is the most important thing but these collisions resulted in two separate closures of the main A9 arterial route, which brought with it disruption for all road users.
"Whilst I would like to thank road users for their patience during the closures, it is also important to remind drivers of the importance of driving to the road conditions and adjusting their speed accordingly."
The last classic VW Kombi, or VW T2, was produced in Brazil in 2013 after safety standards there became too onerous for further adaptation.
Its new microbus made its debut in January. VW says it was inundated with requests to "please build this car".
The new model will hit the road in 2022 but there are no plans as yet to produce a camper version.
VW said the electric van, known as the ID Buzz, will be aimed at customers in North America, Europe and China. There will also be a cargo version of the van.
The Kombi, or Bulli, as it was known in Germany, first went into production in 1950.
Although it was originally simply designed as a jack-of-all-trades van, it is most associated with hippies and camping.
VW itself did not offer them tricked out with cookers, ovens nor even seats that converted to beds.
That came about after engineering firm Westfalia-Werke was asked by a British Army officer in 1950 to turn a VW in to a home, creating the first so-called "Camping Box".
The company then became VW's designated subcontractor for converting the basic vans to campers.
The door of the new microbus opens with a wave of the hand and has electric motors at both ends, giving a large amount of interior space - ideal for bespoke conversion to touring camper vans.
Westfalia-Werke, now owned by Daimler-Chrysler and called Westfalia Mobile, is still converting camper vans, including VWs, but it is not known whether the two companies will resurrect their historic connection.
However, many VW Camper vans were, of course, not official productions themselves, but kitted out by van owners with the skills or money to make the necessary amendments, so a new generation of VW hippy vans cannot be ruled out.

A study of 200,000 people showed that those with a variation in their genetic make-up were less likely to deposit fat under the skin in the lower body.
This can lead the body to become resistant to the hormone insulin.
The scientists said their findings explain why even slim people who eat too much and are inactive are at risk.
And they added that a healthy diet and physical exercise is important, regardless of body weight.
Insulin is a hormone that controls levels of blood sugar.
When the body becomes resistant to it, levels of blood sugars and lipids rise, increasing the risk of diabetes and heart disease - but no-one is sure why insulin resistance happens and why some people become resistant when overweight, and others do not.
International figures show that 43% of people who develop type 2 diabetes are obese, 43% are overweight and 14% have a healthy weight.
The Cambridge study, published in Nature Genetics, found that a large proportion of the population has inherited some of 53 separate genetic variants that inhibit the storage of fat safely under the skin, particularly in the lower half of the body.
Their fat is more likely to end up in the bloodstream or stored in and around the body's central organs.
The study said people who have more of this genetic material are at much greater risk of type 2 diabetes - no matter what their BMI (body mass index) is.
In the 20% of the population with the highest number of these genetic variants, their risk of diabetes rose by 39% compared to the 20% of the population with the lowest genetic risk.
People with fat storage problems can end up with fat accumulating in and around the liver, pancreas and muscles - where it causes insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes.
Dr Luca Lotta, from the Medical Research Council epidemiology unit at the University of Cambridge, said that fat stored in the arms, legs and under the skin played an important role.
"Our results highlight the important biological role of peripheral fat tissue as a deposit of the surplus of energy due to overeating and lack of physical exercise."
She said her party wants a deal and to see the executive back up and running.
Ms McDonald said Sinn Féin still wanted an Irish Language Act now.
She also challenged the government to provide funding for inquests into Troubles-related killings and accused James Brokenshire of "pandering to the DUP".
She added that the last election "broke the mould", and that "the Orange state is gone".
On Brexit she said that by triggering Article 50, Theresa May may have triggered "a disaster for the island of Ireland".
Ms McDonald called again for a border poll and a united Ireland, saying: "I believe we are closer now than we have ever been."
She said Sinn Féin had not come to the negotiating table with a shopping list, but a list of things that have already been agreed.
She added that there could be "perhaps another election very soon".
Ms McDonald finished by saying, "we either get a deal or we're coming back to the people in an election".
He was appearing in public in the capital Bujumbura for the first time since a failed coup bid against him was launched on Wednesday.
Mr Nkurunziza made no mention of the coup attempt, which came after weeks of sometimes violent protests against him.
A spokesman for al-Shabab called his remarks "dumbfounding".
Sheikh Ali Mahamud Rage said Burundi's problems were "clearly domestic".
"We think that this is an attempt by him to appease his people, who are standing in the streets protesting against his dictatorship, or to divert the world's attention from him while he possibly prepares his mass revenge," the spokesman told Reuters news agency.
On Saturday 18 people appeared in court on charges of helping the attempted coup.
The alleged ringleader, Godefroid Niyombare, is still on the run.
Activists say they are planning more protests for Monday against Mr Nkurunziza's decision to seek a third term in office in elections due next month.
The BBC's Karen Allen, who is in Bujumbura, says the president's claims have been met with scepticism from many, who fear they could provide a pretext for the security services to crack down hard on Monday's demonstrations.
On Saturday, our correspondent saw evidence of a retaliatory attack at a hospital where soldiers involved in the coup were being treated. Three soldiers were taken from the building and bundled into a police van.
Mr Nkurunziza was out of the country when military officers launched their coup bid against him on Wednesday. He returned on Friday after forces loyal to him had regained full control.
The president said he came to his office to speak on the telephone with the leaders of Kenya and Uganda regarding a specific threat from the Islamist group al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab, which is battling the UN-backed government in Somalia, has carried out a string of attacks in neighbouring Kenya and is allied to al-Qaeda.
Burundi has troops fighting al-Shabab, as part of the African Union mission in Somalia.
The UK Foreign Office and the US state department say al-Shabab has threatened to carry out attacks in Burundi because of its role in the African Union-led peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
The US has advised its citizens to leave the country because of the deteriorating political situation, and had previously warned about the threat from al-Shabab.

The 17,000-tonne Transocean Winner hit rocks at Dalmore Bay in early August but has now been towed to Broad Bay.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the Norwegian company Offshore Heavy Transport (OHT) would transport it to Turkey.
The firm is expected to float the rig onto the semi-submersible heavy lift vessel OHT Hawk. which is scheduled to arrive in Broad Bay in late September.
Transocean Winner was being towed from Norway to Malta when it broke free in stormy seas on 8 August.
From Malta it was due to be taken to Turkey to be scrapped.
Since the grounding, local politicians have called for the rig to be dismantled in Scotland but it was confirmed earlier this week that it would continue its journey to Turkey.
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for maritime salvage and intervention, said: "There will be many technical challenges surrounding the operations, however I am satisfied that this is the safest option and it fully meets the requirements to minimise any future risk to safety or damage to the environment."
The rig's grounding sparked pollution fears owing to the 280 tonnes of diesel on board.
Investigations found two of its four fuel tanks were damaged in the incident which resulted in the loss of 53,000 litres of fuel, most of which is thought to have evaporated.
The remaining fuel has been safely removed.
Dozens of pieces of debris have also been found at the grounding site at Dalmore, with divers recovering about 40 pieces so far.
MCA said a temporary exclusion zone of 1000m in Broad Bay would remain in place to minimise any risk to safety for other boats as well as divers and vessels helping with the salvage operation.
A temporary exclusion zone of 750m also remains at Dalmore Bay while the salvage of debris continues.
In 2001, former music executive Tony Fernandes bought the heavily-indebted firm for a token sum of 25 cents.
Keeping the brand name, he created Asia's first low-cost airline, taking on local established rivals such as Malaysia Airlines and Australia's Qantas.
With the slogan "Now Everyone Can Fly", AirAsia now covers approximately 100 destinations across more than 15 countries, although many of these flights are serviced by associates and subsidiaries that use the company's brand name.
It is one of these associates, Indonesia AirAsia, which was operating flight QZ8501 from Surabaya to Singapore when it lost contact with air traffic control on Sunday morning.
It flies Airbus A320 aircraft along more than 30 routes, to destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Australia.
Indonesia AirAsia is 49% owned by the main company, but has a separate chief executive, Sunu Widyatmoko. The rest of the firm is owned by Indonesian shareholders.
Indonesia's government prohibits foreign companies from owning the majority of any civil aviation firms.
AirAsia's business model is similar to other so-called budget airlines. It offers no business or first class seats, and the average fare is roughly 170 Malaysian ringgit (£30; $48).
In the three months to the end of September, the AirAsia group made a pre-tax profit of 26.5m Malaysian ringgit (£4.8m; $7.6m), and carried almost 5.3 million passengers.
However, the number of passengers carried by Indonesia AirAsia was down by 10% in the same period, dropping to 1.85 million after the airline cut some of its routes.
In 2013, it carried almost 8 million passengers in total.
Indonesia AirAsia was set to float on the stock market in the last couple of years, but rising costs and the depreciation of the country's rupiah currency against the US dollar have delayed such a move.
Indonesia AirAsia flies just one type of plane - the Airbus single-aisle A320.
The A320 seats between 150 and 180 passengers, and is known for its distinctive wingtips, which were designed to make the aircraft more fuel efficient.
Airbus says the A320 used on flight QZ8501 had accumulated some 23,000 flight hours over 13,600 flights.
AirAsia's brand image is closely tied with its chief executive, Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes, who took over operations in 2001. Almost always in jeans and an AirAsia cap when interviewed, Mr Fernandes was seen as Malaysia's answer to Richard Branson.
In the same way that Mr Branson took on the dominance of British Airways in the 1980s, Mr Fernandes wanted to compete with established long-haul carriers in the region - like Malaysia's own flag carrier, Malaysian Airlines.
He's listed as one of the richest men in Malaysia and has always been adept at spinning his marketing message out to the media. With this plane's disappearance, he's wasted no time in tweeting out messages of support to the family and has already arrived in Surabaya along with members of the Indonesian affiliate of AirAsia.
After their chastening defeat in Cardiff, Australia needed to put together a solid batting performance and lay down a platform and they did all that and more on a flat, slow pitch ideal for batting.
Having reached 337-1, they are set up perfectly to bat England out of the match on Friday and push for a victory that would level the series.
I don't think England could have done a lot more with the ball. Stuart Broad was outstanding once again in conditions that offered him nothing.
This was a far tougher pitch to bowl on than the one at Cardiff. The surface there was equally slow, but the occasional ball would stop on the batsman or climb out of nowhere, meaning England could pitch the ball up and have men positioned for the drive.
At Lord's, the bounce was slow and predictable and the outfield was fast. Bowlers had to try things but when you are going for four runs from a defensive block it is pretty soul-destroying.
Mick Hunt, the Lord's groundsman, has worked so hard to get pace into this pitch over the last 10 years that there must be more than a suspicion that England have asked for all the surfaces to be slow in order to nullify Australia's pace attack.
Tactically, there is nothing wrong with doing that if they really do feel it's their best way of beating Australia, but it doesn't make for a very entertaining spectacle for the crowd.
Having said that, we don't want to see 10 wickets falling on every day of a Test match. That each contest is different is part of the richness of the game and I'm certainly not writing this match off as a dull, stultifying draw just because of what we've seen on the first day.
In some respects, England were fortunate that Australia didn't truly look to get after them today. Their approach was more centred on platform-building, making sure that they went into tomorrow in a good position.
The challenge for England will be not to allow things to slip away from them when Australia's more positive players come in and try to play shots. They will hope that Australia try to push on too quickly and lose wickets. If not, they will just have to keep their chins up and keep banging away.
When Australia come to bowl, their mindset will be different from Cardiff, when England were going after them in the first innings, and building on a healthy lead in the second.
This time, the tourists will have runs on the board, which means the likes of Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc can afford to run in and give it everything.
Whether they can be effective on this pitch remains to be seen, but they will be straining every sinew to try to get Australia's Ashes campaign back on track.
My day got off to an inauspicious start when I got into a bit of trouble with the MCC for going into the pavilion without a tie.
When I headed down there to start the show I had intended to be broadcasting from the doorway, but it was so busy with members that I made the decision to dart into the Long Room.
It provided a great atmosphere as the members roared the players onto the pitch, but I should have realised that my rules breach would not have gone unnoticed.
Later in the morning, I received an envelope containing a very funny letter from MCC chief executive Derek Brewer, as well as a tie.
He just wanted to remind me that rules are rules, just as Lewis Hamilton found out to his cost at Wimbledon on Sunday.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham.

Rory McIlroy told BBC NI on Monday that he will "monitor the situation" before deciding if he will travel to Rio.
Lowry says he will seek medical advice but is "not going to take any chances" over Zika, which is linked to brain deformities in newborn babies.
"I'm the one who has to make that call," he told the Irish Times.
Masters champion Danny Willett has also expressed concerns over participating in the Olympics because of the virus, while Australians Adam Scott and Marc Leishman have already pulled out.
"Obviously I really want to go but there is a decision to be made," Lowry said.
"I am recently a married man and I have to learn a lot more about the virus. I have to speak to the medical people from the European Tour and the doctors back home.
"How big a percentage is the risk? That's the really big one.
"I'm going to listen to the medical advice that comes my way and I'll be honest, I'm not going to take any chances."
Lowry, who is playing at the PGA Championship at Wentworth this week, admitted concerns over Zika were "not an ideal scenario to have on golf's return to the Olympics".
A letter advised them not to work with Bob Higgins's youth football academy. It did not provide any reasons.
Six former Southampton youth players have made allegations that Mr Higgins abused them. He denies any wrongdoing.
In 1992 he faced charges of sexual abuse but was cleared on the direction of the judge.
Southampton FC has offered police its support to any investigation. Hampshire Constabulary has confirmed it is investigating allegations of historical abuse in the football community.
The Football League has confirmed it sent the letter in April 1989 but it is unclear exactly what prompted the warning.
The letter, revealed by The Guardian newspaper, states the Football League, the Football Association and English Schools Football Association were "opposed to the activities" of the Bob Higgins Soccer Academy.
Bob Higgins left Southampton FC the same year.
In 1997, five years after he was cleared in court, a letter was sent to schools and youth groups from Hampshire Police and social services in which they raised concerns that Mr Higgins posed a risk to children.
Mr Higgins joined Peterborough United as a coach in the mid-90s.
A statement released by the Cambridgeshire club said: "Mr Higgins was employed by the football club by previous owners and a past management team. The club are holding an internal investigation into this matter and will take any allegations seriously. We will co-operate with all of the governing bodies and the police during this time."
He also went on to work with Winchester City in 2001.
In a statement, Winchester City confirmed Mr Higgins joined the club in an "advisory role" but after a warning to the club's chairman from social services, he was told his position was "untenable".
"We would stress that Mr Higgins was only ever involved with the senior team at WCFC. He had no contact whatsoever with the junior section, or children under the age of 17. We have no reason to believe that Mr Higgins was involved in any inappropriate behaviour whilst in the employ of the club," it added.
Mr Higgins has most recently worked with Fleet Town FC - a semi professional team in Hampshire. On Sunday, the club said he was no longer involved with them and had worked on an "informal unpaid basis".
It said Mr Higgins was not police checked in 2012 as his role did not involve working with children.
The BBC has tried to contact Bob Higgins about the allegations of abuse which have emerged in recent days - he has not responded.
He has always denied any wrongdoing.
Hampshire's police and crime commissioner, Michael Lane, said: "A lot of people need to examine their consciences about whether they took the right action years ago; I hope they do.
"I'm certain that the constabulary would work with people who felt that they were at risk or abused in any way. My chief constable and her team are absolutely determined to treat people in a sensitive and professional way."
Around the country, a total of 450 people have alleged they were victims and 55 football clubs are linked to allegations of abuse.
Some 20 police forces have announced investigations into claims of sexual abuse in football.
Bolivia accused France, Italy, Spain and Portugal of blocking the plane.
It said some wrongly believed US fugitive Edward Snowden was on board.
Speaking in Berlin, French President Francois Hollande said he granted permission as soon as he knew it was Mr Morales' plane.
President Morales was flying back to Bolivia from Moscow when the plane was forced to stop in Vienna.
The French foreign ministry issued a statement on the incident.
Ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot said: "The foreign minister called his Bolivian counterpart to tell him about France's regrets after the incident caused by the late confirmation of permission for President Morales' plane to fly over [French] territory."
The episode sparked angry reactions from heads of state across Latin America.
Demonstrators marched on the French embassy in La Paz, burning the French flag and demanding the expulsion of the ambassador to Bolivia.
President Correa asked that the Unasur group of South American nations call an urgent meeting over the matter.
The secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), Jose Miguel Insulza, expressed his "deep displeasure" with the "lack of respect" shown by the countries that denied airspace to Mr Morales' jet.
Bolivia's Vice-President Alvaro Garcia said a group of Latin American leaders would meet in Cochabamba, Bolivia, on Thursday over the case.
How the US spy scandal unravelled
US-EU bugging claims: Is spying OK?
Austrian officials said the airport authorities had searched the plane, but with Mr Morales's permission.
But the Bolivian government denied any search had taken place.
The plane took off from Vienna on Wednesday morning, having landed there late on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, France urged EU-US trade talks be delayed amid the fallout from secrets leaked by Mr Snowden.
The talks are due to begin on Monday but claims that the US bugged EU diplomatic offices in the US, and spied on internal computer networks, have upset transatlantic relations.
However, a spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Berlin did not back a delay to the talks, which correspondents say if successful will deliver the biggest trade deal in history.
Mr Snowden is still believed to be in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, from where he is seeking asylum in Bolivia and several other countries.
He is wanted by the US on charges of leaking secrets he gathered while working as a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA), America's electronic spying agency.
The leaking of thousands of classified intelligence documents prompted revelations that the US has been systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data.
China, Russia and several European countries have expressed anger with the US over the apparent scale of its surveillance programme.
There was some damage to cars nearby, but no reports of injuries. The embassy is not currently operational.
On Sunday, gunmen opened fire from a passing car on a security post at the South Korean embassy.
The militant group Islamic State said it carried out that attack.
The device at the Moroccan embassy in the Bin Ashour area of Tripoli was left in a bag at the gate.
The blast in the early hours on Monday morning was "very strong, and the house was shaking for few seconds," a witness told the AFP news agency.
It was unclear whether there was anyone in the embassy at the time and no one has yet said they carried out the attack.
Morocco has hosted UN-sponsored talks between rival Libyan government factions.
In Sunday's attack on the South Korean embassy, a Libyan security guard and a civilian were killed, with a second guard wounded.
Three South Korean nationals - two of them diplomats - were in the official residence at the time, which is in the same compound, the official added. They were unhurt.
The embassy itself has been closed for several months, but officials continue to use it.
Libya has been in turmoil since the Nato-backed removal of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
IS has a presence in different parts of Libya, and says it is behind several attacks on foreign targets in Libya including embassies and oil fields.
A top archaeologist has said the goods are at least 2,000 years old and were illegally excavated. Police have called in experts to help assess their value.
Two men caught trying to ship the items have been arrested, police say.
Karachi is often used by smugglers who can get criminal support to take valuable antiquities out of country.
Customs officers in 2005 foiled a similar attempt to smuggle nearly 1,500 artefacts worth more than $10m (£6.4m) out of Pakistan.
Some of the antiquities found in a container marked "furniture" at that time were 7,000 years old, archaeologists said.
Police Deputy Superintendent Majeed Abbas told the BBC that police conducted the raid in the eastern part of Karachi in the early hours of Friday morning.
The artefacts are thought to have come from the kingdom of Gandhara, which spanned northern Pakistan and parts of eastern Afghanistan.
"These artefacts were loaded in a container... and were so heavy," Mr Abbas said.
"We had to call specific machines and a forklift truck to download them carefully."
Mr Abbas said that the two men arrested told police that the artefacts were brought to Karachi six months ago for a sales deal.
The deal was cancelled and the men told the police they then tried to take the antiquities to Rawalpindi.
"But the papers we've recovered from the vehicle show a different destination. [They suggest that] the vehicle was on its way to Sialkot City of Punjab province, probably for another deal," Mr Abbas said.
"We have a hunch that they were about to deliver it to some buyers on their way," he said.
Meanwhile leading archaeologist Qasim Ali Qasim told Geo TV that the relics were mostly Gandharan art, found in an area near Peshawar.
He said that most of the items depict the early life of Buddha, which added to their value.
Martin, the star of films including 1983's The Man with Two Brains will receive his award in June next year.
Sir Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI's board of trustees, said: "He is a multi-layered creative force bound by neither convention nor caution."
Martin started his career as a stand-up comic before moving on to acting.
His other roles included Little Shop of Horrors in 1986, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in 1988 with Sir Michael Caine and Planes, Trains and Automobiles with the late John Candy in 1987.
He also starred in the family comedy Parenthood in 1989 as well as Father of the Bride [parts one and two] in 1991 and 1995 with Diane Keaton. In 2005 he starred in Shopgirl with Claire Danes, and Jason Schwartzman, which was based on his novella of the same name.
"Steve Martin is an American original," Sir Howard added. "His work is defined by him alone, for he is the author - and a national treasure whose work has stuck with us like an arrow in the head. AFI is proud to present him with its 43rd Life Achievement Award."
During his career, Martin has won an Emmy, four Grammys, a Kennedy Center Honour and an Honorary Oscar.
He has also carved out a career as a musician, and in 2009 he released an album called The Crow, packed with collaborations with other bluegrass and country artists, including Dolly Parton.
Last month, the musical Bright Star, which he wrote with singer-songwriter Edie Brickell premiered in New York.
A typical full-time worker now earns more than £25,000, a rise of 5.4% over the year to April.
Workers in Wales and the East Midlands earned less, according to a government survey based on samples of tax records.
But overall, Northern Ireland wages are about £2,500 below the UK average.
The details are contained in the 2015 Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.
The UK-wide survey of employers is based on a 1% sample of employee jobs.
It puts the median weekly salary in Northern Ireland at £485, compared to £528 in the UK.
Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell said the increase in wages is "welcome news."
But he added: "More needs to be done to promote and retain higher paid jobs in the private sector."
The report said the growth in earnings was widely distributed across industry sectors and occupations.
According to the survey, the typical Northern Ireland public sector workers earned £577 a week (up 1.6%).
In the private sector the figure it was £429 (up 6.7%).
Reports in Italy say the Chinese-backed Serie A club are prepared to offer Conte £250,000 a week if he leaves Chelsea after one season.
Pioli was sacked on Tuesday after six months as head coach.
The 51-year-old replaced Frank de Boer in November, signing a contract until the end of June 2018.
Former Italy boss Conte, 47, also managed Inter's rivals Juventus from 2011 to 2014.
With three matches remaining, Inter are seventh in Serie A, three points adrift of AC Milan and the final qualifying spot for the Europa League, and are winless in seven league games.
Youth team coach Stefano Vecchi will take charge of the first team for the rest of the season.
Pioli was Inter's ninth manager since Jose Mourinho left in 2010.
A club statement read: "Inter thanks Stefano and his team for the dedication and hard work carried out at the club over the last six months in what has proven to be a difficult season.
"The club will begin planning now for the next season."
Coric, 59th in the world rankings having secured his first ATP Tour title in Morocco last month, won 6-3 6-3.
The 20-year-old broke his British opponent three times in the opening set, and a further break in the second was enough to secure victory.
Coric will face 23-year-old Austrian Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals.
Murray, 29, looked frustrated as his testing clay-court season continued in the build-up to the French Open, which begins on 28 May.
The Scot lost in the last 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters on his return from an elbow injury last month, and was then beaten by Thiem in the semi-finals of the Barcelona Open.
"There were a lot of things that weren't particularly good," he told BBC Sport.
"I made a lot of unforced errors and I also didn't find any way to make it a more competitive match, so that's the most disappointing thing.
"Things can change fast but you need to find exactly what it is that is going wrong and how you're going to fix that and commit to it. And if I do that, I'm sure I can turn it round."
Coric lost in the second round of qualifying to Mikhail Kukushkin and only gained a place at the tournament as a 'lucky loser' because of an injury to Richard Gasquet.
This was his second victory over Murray, having also beaten him at the Dubai Championships in 2015.
In a scrappy opening set, Coric broke to lead 3-2 but a couple of forehand errors allowed Murray to break straight back.
Murray, twice a winner in Madrid, then lost his serve once more, Coric comfortably held and Murray was unable to hold his serve to stay in the set.
His frustration boiled over in the eighth game of the second set as Coric won a long rally to break, before serving out the match.
Murray will next play in Rome, where he is the defending champion.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
This result will come as a shock to Murray's system.
He had seemingly been growing in confidence, and rediscovering his rhythm little by little as he made his way from Monte Carlo to Barcelona, but now has just one week in Rome to find the form and belief which would make him a genuine contender for the French Open.
His first serve, which has been hindered by an elbow injury, was not to blame against Coric, who played aggressively and fluently and took full advantage of Murray's error-strewn performance.
World number two Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals with a 6-4 7-5 defeat of Feliciano Lopez.
Defending champion Djokovic, who recently split with his coaching staff, had few problems against the 35-year-old Spaniard.
Rafael Nadal is also through to the last eight after extending his perfect record on clay this season to 12 matches without defeat with a 6-3 6-1 destruction of Nick Kyrgios.
Belgium's David Goffin secured his spot with victory over Milos Raonic 6-4 6-2, while Kei Nishikori saw off David Ferrer 6-4 6-3.
In the women's draw, Canadian Eugenie Bouchard's fine run came to an end with a 6-4 6-0 defeat by Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Bouchard had beaten Maria Sharapova and Angelique Kebver in previous rounds, but was outplayed by eighth seed Kuznetsova.
French 14th seed Kristina Mladenovic beat Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-4 6-4 to set up a semi-final against Kuznetsova, while Romania's third seed Simona Halep thrashed Coco Vandeweghe 6-1 6-1 and will face unseeded Latvian Anastasija Sevastova.
The 30-year-old man, of no fixed address, was found in Birmingham at about 23:30 GMT on 29 November.
He was found in a loading area behind The Victoria pub, in John Bright Street, on what was one of the coldest nights of the year.
West Midlands Police said CCTV had been examined and an investigation was taking place.
A statement said: "Following examination of CCTV it is believed that as the man became unwell, someone searched his pockets and property may have been stolen."
The death has been referred to the coroner.
The hoard was buried near Watlington around the end of the 870s, in the time of the "Last Kingdom".
This was when the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex were fighting for their survival from the threat of the Vikings, which was to lead to the unification of England.
Archaeologists have called the hoard a "nationally significant find".
The hoard was discovered by 60-year-old metal detectorist James Mather.
He said: "I hope these amazing artefacts can be displayed by a local museum to be enjoyed by generations to come."
The find in October was lifted in a block of soil and brought to the British Museum, where it was excavated and studied by experts from the British Museum in London and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
The hoard consists of 186 coins - some fragmentary - and includes rarities from the reign of King Alfred "the Great" of Wessex, who reigned from 871 to 899, and King Ceolwulf II, who reigned in Mercia from 874 to 79.
During this period, King Alfred achieved a decisive victory over the Vikings at the famous Battle of Edington in 878, prompting them to move north of the Thames and travel to East Anglia through the kingdom of Mercia.
Gareth Williams, curator of early medieval coinage at the British Museum, said it was a key moment in English history as Alfred forged a new kingdom of England by taking control of Mercia.
He said: "This hoard has the potential to provide important new information on relations between Mercia and Wessex at the beginning of that process."
Seven items of jewellery and 15 ingots were also found.
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey, said "Fascinating finds like this Viking hoard are a great example of the one million discoveries that have been unearthed by the public since 1997."
Under the Treasure Act 1996, there is a legal obligation for finders to report such treasures.
Boston in south Lincolnshire recorded the highest leave vote in the UK, with 75.6% backing Brexit.
The borough of Lambeth in south London saw almost the reverse result, with 78.6% of voters supporting Remain.
The BBC visited the two boroughs at polar opposites of the European Union referendum.
The vote comes against the backdrop of local concerns over the number of migrant workers in the town, and the increased pressure on local services.
Many are from Eastern Europe, attracted by work in the agricultural industry.
Among those obviously pleased with the result was a street sweeper driving his vehicle past a group of UKIP councillors at 6am, and giving a smile which was accompanied by a thumbs-up sign.
It was a sentiment shared by many voters in one of the UK's most extreme examples of a town affected by recent EU immigration.
The only other people in the town's market square were small groups of people waiting for a lift to work. Every one of them hailed from Eastern Europe, and this is a common sight in this town.
Yvetta from Lithuania spoke to reporters as she waited for her bus to work.
She said: "What happened, happened", while her friend, Martinez questioned what the government would do with people, like him, who come from other countries.
He added: "I hope it will be all right, but we don't know. Now we are waiting."
Other foreign visitors offered a different perspective on the result.
Fredrick Meon from French TV station ARTE, which was filming in Boston, said: "In France, reaction is a bit polarised, divided but basically happy that the British will leave. Economically, I think Britain will suffer for the next few years... some countries of the EU will see some benefits of this and I think France could be one of them."
Recent surges in migration to Boston mean that an estimated 14% of people in the area were born in other EU countries, and that may be a reason why some of the more than three-quarters of people here voted Leave.
Steve, making his way through Boston town centre on his way to work, said he was concerned by the outcome of the vote.
"I really don't know if it is the right thing," he said.
"I'm worried for my job. I work for a small business you don't know what effect it is going to have on that."
But, another Steve, who like so many others, voted to leave, said he was tired of the EU telling the UK to jump and David Cameron saying, 'how high?'
The 2011 census showed that the district had the largest number of non-British EU passport holders outside of London.
Figures showed 12.1% of Boston residents held such passports, compared with the Lincolnshire average of 3.5%.
Protests have been held in the town about the level of overseas workers, despite the local unemployment rate being below the national average, at 4.4%, as against 5.2% nationally.
The town's Conservative MPs Matt Warman, who supported Remain, said: "We've got to respect the fact that if people want to take that gamble then we have to get the best deal for the country... ultimately what is in everyone's interest is a stable economy in a time of transition."
However, for those expecting things to happen immediately, they might be disappointed - this new dawn, in true European style, is likely to take some time.
On the streets of Brixton there was sadness, disappointment, anger and even calls for London to secede from the UK, following the vote to leave Europe.
Finding anyone who backed Brexit in an area where four out of five people supported the Remain campaign was almost impossible.
Many shoppers, stallholders and residents in this ethnically diverse, but increasingly gentrified area of south London, expressed frustration that despite overwhelmingly voting to stay in the European Union, immigration concerns elsewhere in the UK meant they would be removed from the EU.
Mohammed Baez, a manager at Brixton Foodland, fears trade tariffs will be introduced and prices will go up.
"I feel very sad we are out because I prefer we stay in together.
"We get many products from Europe and it does effect when things go up because we don't sell as much.
Mr Baez, who has lived in the UK for about 17 years, added: "I believe because this thing happened that recession will start again.
"People will lose their jobs because when the taxes come things will become more expensive and it will affect the business.
"Many people from the North have voted about immigration. But the people who separate, what is the answer for them? I haven't heard any good answers saying: 'This is what we are going to do'."
Helen Palmer, of Herne Hill, became visibly emotional when she described why she believed Brexit was bad for the future of her family and the country.
"I felt very angry when I looked at the voting demographics and saw that it was older generations who were voting and really choosing a future for the country that the younger generations did not choose.
"Everyone we know in this borough believes passionately in integration and working with others.
"I'm standing in Brixton Market feeling quite emotional because it's a hugely vibrant, cosmopolitan, mixed-up melting pot of cultures.
"We feel the same about Europe: no matter what are the faults of the European Union we have to be inside and have to co-operate and collaborate with our fellow Europeans."
Vernon Ray first came to Lambeth from Jamaica in 1959 to work for London Transport.
He says the referendum result is the "worst thing that could happen in the history of Britain".
"Now everything is going to be way over the top. We're going to have to pay back through the nose.
"It's very upsetting.
"Lambeth became cosmopolitan and that is one of the reasons [it voted to remain].
"The issue is immigration, and this why they [the UK] opted out but in three or four months' time they will realise the mistake they've made."
Midwives Olivia Snowball and Rebecca Manners were concerned about the impact of the vote on London.
"I'm really gutted that we've left," said Ms Snowball.
"Having spoken to all of my friends and seeing what my friends on Facebook and Twitter were saying, it just seemed to be overwhelmingly that we would stay but obviously that's not what everyone else thought."
Ms Manners said: "Absolutely gutted that we voted out.
"I think there's definitely going to be a drop in the housing market throughout London, which some people will say is a positive thing.
"But I think that the immediate effects will be quite negative and again, especially within the NHS, I think we are going to see big changes throughout there as well."
Italian Camilla Cabasso expects Britain to experience an immediate and a long-term change for the worse.
She was not eligible to vote, but when I asked her what she thought of the referendum result she shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
"It's not so positive for people that come from other parts of Europe."
She believes the UK could become "more about control" because it would now not work together with other European countries.
Another Italian, who works at a sourdough pizza restaurant, said the result made her feel as though "the UK doesn't want me to stay here". | A homeless woman who died in Belfast city centre at the weekend has been described as "an amazing" person.

The union said a one-day strike would be held on 10 July.
The Local Government Association (LGA) called the vote for strike action "disappointing" but said it would "not change the pay offer we have made".
Members of other unions are currently voting on proposed strikes, with a day of action planned for 10 July.
Unison said local government workers and school support staff - which include all school workers except teachers - had been subject to a three-year pay freeze and had now been offered a 1% pay rise.
The union said almost 85,000 workers - mainly low-paid women - voted and more than 58% backed the strike. About 410,000 workers had the chance to vote.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "These workers care for our elderly, clean our streets, feed and educate our school children and keep our libraries running, but they receive no recognition in their pay packets.
"They are mainly low-paid women workers, stressed and demoralised, and they deserve better from their employers and from this government.
"This is the group that has borne the brunt of the government's austerity agenda."
Mr Prentis said Unison members "expect to be joined" by other unions in the strike on 10 July, adding: "The employers must get back into talks immediately to avoid a damaging dispute."
Unison said pay freezes and below-inflation pay rises had reduced local government workers' pay by 20% since the coalition government came to power in 2010.
The GMB and Unite unions are expected to announce the results of strike ballots in the coming days, and the National Union of Teachers has already announced a strike on 10 July.
Midwives in England are currently being balloted about possible strike action after the government did not approve a recommended 1% pay rise for all NHS staff.
Responding to the planned Unison strike, an LGA spokesman said: "Local government staff have worked wonders while councils have been tackling the biggest funding cuts in living memory and we have no doubt that many will still be at work on the day of strike action.
"The pay offer we have made would increase the pay of most employees by 1% while the lowest paid would receive an increase of more than 4%.
"This is the fairest possible deal for our employees given the limits of what we can afford.
"This strike will not change the pay offer we have made, but it will mean those who take part lose a day's pay."
Under its constitution, Japan is barred from using force to resolve conflicts except in cases of self-defence.
But a reinterpretation of the law will now allow "collective self-defence" - using force to defend allies under attack.
PM Shinzo Abe has been pushing hard for the move, arguing Japan needs to adapt to a changing security environment.
"No matter what the circumstances, I will protect Japanese people's lives and peaceful existence," he told journalists after the change was approved.
The decision must be passed by parliament, which the ruling bloc controls. But by reinterpreting rather than revising the constitution, Mr Abe avoids the need for a public referendum.
The US - with whom Japan has a decades-old security alliance - will welcome the move, but it will anger China, with whom Japan's ties are already very strained.
The decision is also highly controversial in a nation where post-war pacifist identify is firmly entrenched.
On Sunday a man set himself on fire in central Tokyo to protest against the change.
Mr Abe first endorsed the move in May, after a panel of his advisers released a report recommending changes to defence laws.
Japan adopted its pacifist constitution after its surrender in World War Two. Since then, its troops have not engaged in combat, although small numbers have taken part in UN peace-keeping operations.
It has long held the view that under international law, it has the right to collective self-defence, but - until today - said it could not exercise that right because of constitutional limits.
Mr Abe emphasised that the change would not lead to involvement in foreign wars.
"There is a misunderstanding that Japan will be involved in war in an effort to defend a foreign country, but this is out of the question," he told the press conference.
"It will be strictly a defensive measure to defend our people. We will not resort to the use of force in order to defend foreign forces."
On Monday, thousands of people joined a protest in Tokyo to oppose the change.
Critics of Mr Abe fear that this move is the first step to a more permanent revision or removal of the war-renouncing Article 9 of the constitution.
"I thought that if we don't stop the Abe government now then it won't be possible to recover," Etsuo Nakashima, 32, told Reuters news agency.
But others believe that the constitution is a post-war relic imposed on Japan by the US that restricts it from engaging in the normal activities of a modern nation.
China - with whom Japan is currently engaged in a bitter territorial dispute - says it opposes the change, accusing Japan of "remilitarising" under Mr Abe.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said that the new policy "raises doubts about Japan's approach to peaceful development", and accused Japan of "hyping the China threat".
"We urge Japan to sincerely respect the rightful concerns of neighbouring Asian countries, diligently solve any related issues, and not affect China's rights and the stability of the region," he said.
South Korea has also raised objections, saying it will "not tolerate" the move which it said was made without South Korea's agreement.
The foreign ministry also urged Japan to ensure regional peace and stability.
Two bombs were detonated as worshippers left the al-Salam mosque after Friday prayers in the village of Umm al-Adham.
There have recently been several deadly attacks in Baquba, a religiously mixed city 60km (35 miles) north of Baghdad.
Sectarian violence has surged across the country in recent months, reaching its highest level since 2008.
More than 5,000 people have been killed so far this year, 800 of them in August alone, according to the United Nations.
In Friday's attack, the bombs exploded outside the mosque in Umm al-Adham in quick succession at around 12:00 (09:00 GMT).
The first device targeted worshippers leaving the building, while the second was detonated as a crowd gathered at the scene to help.
The AFP news agency reported that both Sunnis and Shia had attended Friday prayers at the mosque.
It was not clear who was behind the attack, the second in Baquba in three days.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq has claimed responsibility for a number of large-scale bombings in recent months but it mainly targets Shia civilians, security forces personnel and government facilities.
But with the state unable to prevent such attacks, Shia militia are reportedly remobilising and warning that they are prepared to protect members of their sect.
The recent unrest was sparked by an army raid on a Sunni Arab anti-government protest camp near Hawija in April. The protesters were calling for the resignation of Shia Prime Minister Nouri Maliki and denouncing the authorities for allegedly targeting the minority Sunni community.
The country has also seen a spill-over of violence from the conflict in Syria, where jihadist rebels linked to the Islamic State of Iraq, a Sunni militant umbrella group that includes al-Qaeda, have risen to prominence.
In recent weeks, Iraqi security forces have reportedly arrested hundreds of alleged al-Qaeda members in and around Baghdad as part of a campaign the Shia-led government is calling "Revenge for the martyrs".
But the operations, which have taken place mostly in Sunni districts, have angered the Sunni community and failed to halt the violence.
The 50-year-old was hit by a Ford Focus on the A8 Cumbernauld Road, near Alexandra Parade, before being hit again by a Vauxhall Astra.
She was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary but died following the incident at 19:45 on Friday.
Police said the drivers of both cars were uninjured. They have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
In a statement, Police Scotland said: "Around 1945 hrs, a 50-year-old woman was crossing the A8 Cumbernauld Road.
"As she was crossing the road, she was initially struck by a Ford Focus car travelling west, before being struck again by a Vauxhall Astra travelling east.
"Emergency services attended and the woman was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where she died a short time later."
Police said an investigation was under way to establish the exact circumstances of the incident.
Retail sales plunged by 10% and capital investment fell by 8.4% in the economy's worst performance since 2009.
In contrast, Russian GDP increased by 0.6% in 2014.
The economy has been hit hard by the extraordinary collapse in oil prices, which have fallen by 70% in the past 15 months.
Sanctions imposed by the West after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014 have also had an impact.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned earlier this month that the fall could force Russia's 2016 budget to be revised.
President Vladimir Putin said in December that the budget had been calculated based on oil at $50 a barrel. Oil is trading at just over $30 a barrel.
"We're not panicking!"
This was one of the headlines in Russian TV's Sunday news review. The words appeared on a giant video screen behind the anchor, along with a picture of rouble coins.
Russia may not be panicking, but it's clearly worried. Worried enough for the pro-Kremlin media here to admit there's a problem: a full-blown economic crisis.
The state-controlled media blames the crisis, principally, on low oil prices and, to a lesser extent, on western sanctions. What you don't hear on TV is anyone blaming President Putin for the problem.
Yet, in the decade and a half that Mr Putin has ruled Russia as president or prime minister, Russia failed to prepare for the possibility of low oil prices and did little to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on energy exports.
Russian citizens are increasingly concerned. Inflation is rising, so is the fear of job losses. Meanwhile, real incomes in Russia are falling and social benefits are being cut.
Earlier this month senior citizens blocked streets in Sochi and Krasnodar to protest against the scrapping of free travel passes for pensioners. People power persuaded the local authorities to reverse the decision. The longer Russia's economic woes continue, the greater the likelihood that social protest here will spread.
Oil prices in reverse amid Opec production call
Taxes from oil and gas generate about half the Russian government's revenue.
William Jackson, an economist at Capital Economics, said: "While the worst of Russia's crisis has now passed, the economy is still extremely weak. The latest fall in oil prices and drop in the rouble mean the likelihood of a second consecutive year of recession is rising."
The rouble fell to record lows against the US dollar last week, before regaining some ground as oil prices recovered slightly.
The currency was down more than 1% on Monday at 78.87 after oil prices fell about 3%.
Economy minister Alexei Ulyukayev said he expected the Russian central bank to leave interest rates on hold at 11% when it meets on Friday.
Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the central bank, said last week that authorities had "all the means" needed to keep the economy stable.
Unemployment in Russia was steady at 5.8% in December, meaning that 4.4m people were out of work, and real wages fell by 10%.
Despite the gloomy economic news, fast food giant McDonald's said on Monday it planned to open more than 60 restaurants in Russia this year.
Khamzat Khasbulatov, chief executive of McDonald's Russia, said sanctions and the weak rouble had forced the US company to make "serious adjustments" to its business model, but focusing on local suppliers and affordable menus had proved successful.
"We have seen significant growth of our market share as we continued expansion," he said. "The development of local supply has played a big role in supporting our profitability."
Katrina Percy said "the effect ongoing personal media attention has had on staff and patients" had made her position as boss of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust untenable.
Ms Percy had faced calls to quit after the trust was criticised over the way it investigated patient deaths.
An NHS England-commissioned probe found 272 of the 722 deaths over the last four years were dealt with properly.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
Ms Percy, who was chief executive for nine years, said she "firmly believed" it was her responsibility to stay on to "oversee improvements".
She said she understood why "many will say I should have stepped down sooner given the very public concerns which have been raised in the past months".
Ms Percy said she was taking on a new role with Southern Health providing "strategic advice to local GP leaders".
A spokeswoman for the trust said Ms Percy's salary - which is quoted in the trust's annual report as between £180,000 and £190,000 - would remain the same when she moved to the advisory role.
In June, Southern Health accepted responsibility for the death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who drowned in a bath at one of its facilities - Slade House in Oxford.
The trust admitted it caused the death of Connor, who had suffered an epileptic seizure before he died in July 2013, and offered his family £80,000 compensation.
A report published in December said the deaths of hundreds of mental health and learning-disability patients over four years were not properly examined, and blamed a "failure of leadership".
Following a six-week review, interim chair Tim Smart said it was clear the executive team had been "too stretched to guarantee high quality services".
He recommended the trust should "transform the way in which it delivers services, and makes changes to the structure and strength of its leadership team".
Connor's mother Sara Ryan said Ms Percy's resignation was "long overdue" and that the former CEO was still not taking responsibility for the trust's failings.
"This whole sorry episode has shone an important light on peculiar workings at senior NHS levels around regulation, accountability and enforcement," she said.
"It also demonstrates that candour and transparency remain woefully lacking in 2016."
Ms Ryan added that is was "totally scandalous and shameful" that she would keep the same salary in her new role.

Mr Smart said Ms Percy's new role was "vital work that needs to be done for which she is ideally suited".
"Katrina has shown great resilience, devoting herself to the patients and staff of Southern Health since it was created in 2011," he added.
Julie Dawes, who joined the trust in May as director of nursing and quality, has been named as the interim chief executive officer.
In July, a BBC investigation found Southern Health had paid millions of pounds to companies owned by previous associates of Ms Percy.
One firm received more than £5m despite winning a contract valued at less than £300,000, while another was paid more than £500,000 without bidding at all. The trust said it took its financial responsibilities "very seriously".
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Gayle, 25, moved to St James Park for a reported fee of about £10m, swapping the Premier League for the Championship in the process.
Former Real Madrid and Liverpool boss Benitez opted to stay at Newcastle despite relegation last season.
"He is a great manager and has great experience," Gayle told BBC Newcastle.
"There's expectation, but under the manager here I believe he can help me to perform.
"There's a great history at Newcastle - I'm looking forward to getting this club back in the Premier League and proving a few people wrong."
During three seasons at Palace, he scored 26 goals in 74 games following a £6m move from Peterborough.
The journey from Arsenal's academy to non-league football with Stansted right through to scoring goals in the Premier League at Palace echoes the progression of England forward Jamie Vardy.
Newcastle appealed as the next step in his career, with the influence of Palace boss Alan Pardew - a former Newcastle manager himself - strengthening his decision.
Palace's fan 'ultras' have created a pumped-up atmosphere with chanting and banners within the capacity constraints of Selhurst Park, but the size of the attendances and scale of the stadium are incomparable to that of St James Park.
"There was other interest but the opportunity of playing at Newcastle in front of 50,000 is a great one," Gayle added.
"It's great for a player to have the support behind them, it gives you that extra strength. It was the best thing for me in my career."
Wilmots, a former Belgium player and coach, signed a two-year contract with the Elephants on Tuesday.
Toure has not played competitively for his country since leading them to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Cup title.
"I know how important it is to have experienced players. It's not yet over for Toure, we've got to get him back," Wilmots said of the 33-year-old.
"The Yaya Toure case will be one of my first missions."
Without Toure, the Elephants failed to get past the group stages of this year's Nations Cup in Gabon, failing to win a game.
"I've seen the last two games that he played for Manchester City in a defensive midfield position," said Wilmots. "He's always great, he's so good physically.
"I'll go see him, I'll talk with him."
Wilmots believes he has taken on a "golden generation" of Ivory Coast players.
"I do not know much about the country, but I have a lot of information about the national team, and I was very interested in the national team," he said.
"They have a very good generation of players. When the challenge was offered to me, I thought why not?"
Expressing condolences, President Vladimir Putin called him "an experienced and competent commander, a man of great courage, a true patriot".
The circumstances of his death are not clear. He became GRU chief in 2011.
In 2014 he was placed on EU and US sanctions lists targeting top Russian officials after Russia's annexation of Crimea, in southern Ukraine.
The EU list said Gen Sergun was "responsible for the activity of GRU officers in eastern Ukraine".
Gen Sergun is not thought to have had direct combat experience when he took charge of the GRU.
After graduating from military academies, he joined the service in 1984, and had various posts before working as military attache in Albania in 1998.
The GRU's intelligence-gathering role dates back to the Cold War, when its officers were posted to Soviet embassies, along with KGB spies.
Western analysts say the GRU played a key role in the seizure of Crimea and the insurgency by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, which followed the Crimea annexation in March 2014.
Moscow denies that regular Russian troops have had a direct role in the Ukraine conflict, but last month President Putin said Russia could have people there "carrying out certain tasks including in the military sphere".
A top Russian commander in eastern Ukraine in 2014 - Igor Girkin, alias Strelkov - was identified as a GRU operative by the EU, which included him on the sanctions list.
According to Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russian security issues, the GRU recovered some of its former prestige under Gen Sergun, who took charge after some drastic cuts to the service.
The Kremlin sees GRU covert action as an asset again, after years in which the GRU's role was downgraded, he wrote in Foreign Policy in 2014.
Officers released the image after a distraction burglary in which £60 was stolen from an elderly woman in Stockbridge, Hampshire.
But the picture appeared to show the man with a lettuce on his head.
Police said they were waiting for a software upgrade to improve the quality of hair in future e-fits.
A spokesperson said that "while the hair on this image may not be of the best quality, it takes nothing from the overall clarity of the facial features".
He added: "It would therefore be wrong to withhold the release of the e-fit just based on this technical issue.
"We would never release an e-fit a victim disagreed or was unhappy with and in this instance the victim fully supported the publication of this image."
The suspect had asked the woman for money for gardening work but stole £60 from her handbag
He is described as white, between 40 and 45, about 5ft 8ins, with a round clean shaven face, large round eyes and with wavy blonde or greying hair.
A Victim Support spokesperson said: "Victims or witnesses to a crime quite rightly want and expect the criminal justice system to try and bring someone to justice.
"People put their trust in the system and the software and expect results, which would explain why people might be baffled by the picture.
"But it wouldn't be fair to criticise the force if what they have done is produced the best possible image from the facilities and description available to them."

"By hosting major global events such as the ICC Champions Trophy and the ICC World Cup two years later, the eyes of the world will be on Cardiff."
The semi-final in Cardiff could see Australia play South Africa if the results were to go according to seedings.
England play New Zealand at the Welsh venue in their second group game, a repeat of the 2013 tournament encounter which saw England win by 10 runs.
The last event also saw a dramatic tie between South Africa and West Indies, who lost a crucial wicket just before rain forced a Duckworth-Lewis calculation.

For most MPs, Monday's vote, which installed the former chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee as a member of the Justice Committee, was a routine rubber-stamping exercise.
The normal deal is that the political parties in the Commons choose the MPs who are nominated to their party quota on select committees, by their own internal process, and the other parties automatically approve their choice.
The argument is that if the parties start tinkering with each other's nominations, that way, madness lies. So no fan clubs were involved in the making of this particular appointment,
As the Conservative MP Sir Desmond Swayne noted in his blog:
"The vacancy on the Justice select committee was a Labour vacancy. It was a matter for the Labour Party to fill it. Whether I approved or disapproved of their choice, the choice was theirs to make. The ill-considered attempt by rogue colleagues to interfere with Labour's choice and overturn it, could have had disastrous consequences for all the other areas where 'give and take' are necessary to ensure the Parliament can function without always descending into an unseemly row. Had Labour voted to veto a Conservative choice for a select committee, I would have been incandescent with rage. Accordingly, I voted to uphold Labour's right to make its choice, whomsoever they had chosen."
The point here is that, Labour having nominated Mr Vaz, most of the MPs who voted regarded the choice as a matter for the Labour Party, and not something they should veto, whatever stories had appeared about his personal conduct. And this is the bit that attracts criticism from people outside the Westminster bubble - several MPs have told me they have received a number of angry emails asking why he was not blocked from joining the Justice Committee. As for Labour's internal process, Mr Vaz was one of two Labour MPs who put up for two Labour vacancies on the Justice Committee, so there does not seem to have been any contested election.
The main "rogue colleague" to use Mr Swayne's words, was the Conservative MP, Andrew Bridgen, a Leicestershire neighbour of Mr Vaz, who objected to his appointment and forced a vote - he argued:
"It is clear the Rt Hon Member for Leicester East [Mr Vaz] felt the need to resign from the Home Affairs Committee. I think it would be a huge mistake for this House now to place him on the Justice Committee, when he has so many questions to answer..."
But he persuaded just six MPs to back him, as a tidal wave of (mostly Conservative) MPs ensured the appointment went through.
He may have broken a strong Commons convention, but, procedurally, Mr Bridgen was entirely within his rights to raise objections - which is why Speaker Bercow slapped down the Opposition Chief Whip, Nick Brown, when he suggested the appointments were internal matters for individual party groups.
By the same token it would be in order for Keith Vaz to object, were Andrew Bridgen to be put up for appointment to a select committee.
The Speaker's difficulty was keeping Mr Bridgen from making further allegations about Mr Vaz in the Chamber, where they could have been reported with legal privilege, (which is another way of saying that Mr Vaz could not have sued newspapers or broadcasters who accurately reported something said in Parliament) and that led to some fairly robust exchanges and firm warnings.
Mr Vaz has already threatened to sue Mr Bridgen for "maliciously spreading false and highly defamatory scuttlebutt" about him. Meanwhile Mr Bridgen had asked the Speaker to persuade Mr Vaz to stand down from the Chair of the Home Affairs Committee; as the Speaker said in the debate "It is not the role of the Speaker of this House to persuade someone to step down as the Chair of a Committee, just because of suspicions that some people may have about him."
I wonder what will happen next.
The pair were taking part in a training exercise on Swan Island, south-east Australia, last week.
They used the vessel to reach Corsair Rock, a remote spot popular with surfers.
The officers have not been identified. No details have been given about the disciplinary measures.
The area off Point Nepean National Park is known for having some of the best waves in Victoria state. The place is hard to reach and surfers often travel by boat.
"We are aware of an incident where two Water Police members used a boat for personal use following a training exercise," Victoria police spokeswoman Natalie Webster was quoted by the Herald Sun as saying.
"The members have been spoken to in relation to the matter and disciplinary action has been completed."
The 26-year-old has signed for the Pro12 club until May 2017 and has gone straight into the starting line-up to face Leinster at Scotstoun on Friday.
Clegg said: "I'm over the moon to be back in Glasgow.
"The style of play really suits me and I'm hopeful I can develop further now, because I enjoyed the few months that I was here earlier in the season."
Hannover-born Clegg acted as cover for the Warriors during the Rugby World Cup period last year, scoring 48 points in five appearances.
But after four months at Scotstoun, he moved on to Oyonnax.
Now, with Finn Russell injured, Duncan Weir - who leaves for Edinburgh at the season's end - and Peter Horne involved with Scotland, head coach Gregor Townsend has acted to accelerate Clegg's return.
"We were hoping Oyonnax would be ok with him leaving, and having lost at the weekend it's likely they're going to go down," said Townsend.
"Rory's time in France has been a bit up and down. Two weeks after he joined, they sacked their coach, they've had a lot of changes, players have moved in and out, they've not had a great season.
"He's played in the Champions Cup, I watched him against Saracens and Ulster, but he's not played the last two to three weeks, so he's fresh, put it that way.
"He played realty well for us in the World Cup period. He got into our shape really well; it suited his strengths. He's a good passer, got good awareness of space, and the big key is he's an excellent goal kicker."
Townsend concedes recruiting well, and keeping his more prominent players, are increasingly challenging while the financial muscle of clubs in England's Premiership and the Top 14 of France continues to grow.
The Warriors boss remained tight-lipped on the future of Fijian second-row, Leone Nakarawa, with French media reports linking him to Parisian side Racing 92, despite having a year left on his Glasgow contract.
"When you're up against the French and English teams and their rising salary caps and budgets, recruitment will be tough," he said. "But we have 30 international players in our squad.
"That shows the funding we get, but also that the players want to play here. That's still the first thing - the players want to play in an environment where they will improve, they'll be rewarded for what they do.
"Our players are now noticed, whether they're playing in World Cups, Six Nations or even for us. They do generate interest from other clubs.
"We're delighted we've signed Corey Flynn, an All Black. I never thought we'd be signing All Blacks, or current Australian or South African internationals, because they certainly come with an asking price that Toulon, Racing, Bath, Saracens can match and we can't.
"So we've got to find players that will be very good, that we can afford."
The Jordanstown native's three-over-par 75 on Saturday saw her miss the fourth-round cut by three strokes as she finished on six over.
Meadow has endured the most difficult of years following the death of her beloved father Robert in May.
She missed a number of events after his death before returning to the tour.
Meadow received much sympathy from her fellow players after her bereavement and she was recognised at the recent LPGA annual awards.
The Northern Ireland women was handed the Heather Farr Perseverance Award which goes to the LPGA player who through "hard work and dedication and love of the game of golf has demonstrated determination and perseverance on the road to fulfilling her goals".
Former British Amateur champion Meadow finished a sensational third on her professional debut at last year's US Open at Pinehurst.
Despite her outstanding US Open performance at Pinehurst a year ago, Meadow missed out on a full tour card for 2015 after a play-off defeat at the qualifying school.
That has meant reduced LPGA opportunities this year and Meadow has travelled to several events as a reserve only to be denied a place in the field.
China's Simin Feng shot a 69 on Saturday to take a five-shot lead in the qualifying school on 15 under par.
The top 20 finishers Sunday will earn full LPGA Tour cards with those occupying 21st to 45th positions handed the conditional status which Meadow had in 2015.
Commissioner of City of London police Adrian Leppard said police figures provided only a "small prism of the harm" to communities.
Victim-based surveys offer more insight into offending levels, he said.
But Chief Constable Jeff Farrar, national policing lead on crime statistics, said there was "a purpose" to gathering police crime data.
Mr Leppard made his comments at a crime statistics conference, which also heard claims from academics that official Crime Survey of England and Wales (CSEAW) statistics underestimate violent crimes against women by 70%.
Professor Sylvia Walby, from Lancaster University, said statisticians "capped" the number of "repeat" offences at five per victim.
She said this had the effect of reducing reported levels of violence against women and domestic violence victims, because female victims were often targeted many times.
A peer-reviewed study carried out by Prof Walby suggested that without a cap, 45% of violent crimes would be against women.
The Office for National Statistics, which is responsible for the CSEAW, said it was analysing Prof Walby's findings with a view to changing the cap - which is designed to stop huge fluctuations in crime levels based on small numbers of victims.
Head of crime statistics, John Flatley, said: "If repeat offences were not capped, there is a risk that a small number of cases involving multiple attacks on the same person could end up skewing results, making it very difficult to spot trends in crimes."
The comments from Mr Leppard about the police figures are thought to be the strongest by such a high-ranking officer.
"Formal police-recorded crime I don't think has much value to us," Mr Leppard said, pointing out that there was 99% of under-reporting of economic crime.
Much of his force's information on fraud came from liaising with banks and businesses which often did not report the crimes to police, he said.
He called for victim-based surveys, such as the CSEAW, to be extended, pointing out that a move to include fraud and cyber crime in the survey this year would add three million offences to the figures.
Chief Constable Farrar, of Gwent Police, said there was "a purpose" to having police crime data, but he acknowledged that the figures were incomplete and there was a danger of "dysfunctional behaviour" in a culture of target-setting.
Lisa Harker, from the NSPCC, said the organisation had to send Freedom of Information Act requests to police forces in order to obtain data on child sex offences.
She said police collected information on the ages and gender of victims and alleged perpetrators, but did not routinely release it.
"Without the data we're left to guess as to what's really happening," she said.
They say it could also hold the key to introducing successful genetic variation.
Due to the speed at which plants decompose, finding intact ancient plant DNA is extremely rare.
The preserved ancient barley was excavated near the Dead Sea, the journal Nature Genetics reports.
The arid environment conserved the biological integrity of the grains, the paper says.
The team of researchers, consisting of archaeologists, specialists in ancient DNA analysis and experts in barley and crop genetics, recovered the ancient cultivated barley grains from a cave in an ancient fortress near the Dead Sea in Israel.
The preservation of the samples meant sufficient amounts of biological matter survived to enable isolation of genetic material and sequencing of the barley DNA.
Barley is one of the earliest farm crops, originally domesticated 10,000 years ago when the hunter-gatherers started farming. These ancient farmers started to grow wild plants and selected away traits that were unfavourable, very similar to modern day selective breeding.
The discovery of these seeds takes us closer in time to the original domestication of barley than ever before.
The DNA analysis showed that these 6,000 year old seeds were remarkably similar to modern day crops in the same region. Meaning that at the time they were harvested barley was already an advanced crop that had been heavily domesticated.
"These 6,000 year-old grains are time capsules, you have a genetic state that was frozen 6,000 years ago. This tells us barley 6,000 years ago was already a very advanced crop and clearly different from the wild barley," Dr Nils Stein of the IPK Plant Genetics institute in Germany told BBC News.
He added: "Already 6,000 years ago the barley fields may have looked very similar to barley that is grown today."
Prof Monique Simmonds, deputy director of science at Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, said finding preserved samples of such an age is in itself impressive. She also praised the new DNA analysis techniques used.
Speaking to the BBC, she expressed the importance of the paper and said that this research should inspire further work with old collections and even motivate exploration in areas for other potential preserved ancient samples.
As well as providing a detailed insight into the archaeology and history of this ancient crop, the seeds could provide the key to ensuring successful reintroduction of genetic variation in modern day species.
Prof Nils Stein told the BBC: "Breeders are trying to increase genetic diversity; maybe the knowledge of these ancient seeds will allow us to spot better genotypes from gene banks and seed vaults."
"We could ask what are the variations of genes in the ancient samples, are specific alleles [genes] still present in modern day germplasm [seeds], if they aren't why is this the case?, where they selected away on purpose or where they lost due to the domestication procedure, if this is the case there could still be value in these ancient genes," said Prof Stein.
As the day progressed they would be followed by others thrown into the battle plan of their fellow Scot, Gen Douglas Haig.
Haig had masterminded one of the biggest artillery attacks the world had ever seen or heard; an incredible seven-day bombardment of one and a half million shells fired by 50,000 gunners.
They were confident they had destroyed the enemy's deep dug-outs and defensive systems and cut the barbed wire in No Man's Land, thus allowing even the most inexperienced volunteer soldiers to storm not just the German front line, but the second and the third line too.
But the bombardment was not concentrated enough and too many shells were poor quality and failed to explode. The barbed wire was not cut. The Germans were not all dead. Their big guns were not all out of action.
Their machine gunners might have been demoralised by tons of high explosives falling on their bunkers, but soon they were galvanised by the opportunity to hit back. And hit back they did.
Of the five battalions moving off, four of them were made up of friends and workmates recruited from their local area: from Edinburgh the 15th and 16th Royal Scots - the latter the famous McCrae's battalion, noted for its football connections; while from Glasgow came the 16th Highland Light Infantry (the Boys' Brigade battalion) and the 17th City of Glasgow.
All would suffer heavy casualties, but probably the worst affected was the 16th HLI. Most of them didn't even make it to the uncut wire, let alone the enemy trenches beyond. They were cut down in their masses by machine guns and artillery.
Within 10 minutes they had lost half their strength. Those who made it to the wire and got caught there, could be slaughtered at the enemy's leisure. And it achieved nothing.
Soon others were joining the fray. The Kings Own Scottish Borderers went in next in the attack on the village of Beaumont Hamel. They too were mown down without taking an inch of enemy trench.
Those who had got across: the Royal Scots, the 17th HLI, the 2nd Gordon Highlanders, now fought grimly in their hard-won bites of German redoubts.
By 09:30 the 2nd Seaforths were in action doing the same. By 10:00, there was one small ray of good news: the 2nd Royal Scots Fusiliers in the south with the Manchesters, took their objective: Montauban. Their losses were light.
Much later in the day the 2nd Gordons too would take their target: the fortified village of Mametz, but for a heavier price.
It's not true that all these men who went over the top walked into a hail of machine gun fire, nor that all the attacks failed. Commanders tried a variety of tactics and in the south there were real advances.
The Scottish battalions, like everyone else, suffered a mix of fates and there were plenty of Scots and even entire battalions identifying as Scottish, such as the Tyneside Scottish and London Scottish, spread through the rest of the attack. But over the day, the gains were small, the losses great.
Where the attacks had failed utterly, a new tragedy was unfolding. Wounded and dying men were trapped in shell holes under a blazingly hot, clear, July sky. They had no water or medical aid. If they moved, the German snipers shot them.
For some of the uninjured men trapped alongside them, doing nothing was more than they could bear. One soldier of the nearly obliterated 16th HLI, L/Sgt John Anderson decided to fight back. He had a machine gun and the ammunition of his slain comrades.
His commanding officer recounted how, "observing a break in the enemy trenches, the sergeant trained his gun on the opening. As there was considerable traffic along the trench he caused great execution.
"Having exhausted 24 drums of ammunition and being the last of the section left, he crawled back at dusk to the line, bringing his gun with him."
On 1 July 1916, dusk was a long way away for a man who had started at 07:30.
John Anderson was awarded not only the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal) but the more exotic Russian Order of St George 3rd class.
John was a 23-year-old engineer from a calico printing works in Campsie, Stirlingshire. The local paper called him "Our DCM" and avidly followed news of his deeds.
Sadly in October that year, just as the parish council was planning a public meeting to welcome home their local hero, he was killed. His leave papers had already arrived, yet he volunteered for a bombing raid into the German trenches. He never came back.
A year later, his grieving father received a box of his effects from the German government containing a soldier's hymn book, letters and photographs.
By this time, John's elder brother had also been killed, leaving a widow behind him. John was one of the "lucky" few survivors of the 16th HLI on the Somme, but there was no happy ending.
For so many homes the story was less acclaimed, but the grief was the same.
The life-sized statue will be unveiled on the opening day of the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival next month.
Dublin-based sculptor Paul Ferriter is creating the artwork for the north entrance to the racecourse.
Sir Tony, from Moneyglass, was champion jump jockey a record 20 times and rode 4,358 winners during his career.
He retired at the end of the 2014-15 season and is now a TV racing pundit.
"I last saw Paul's work about seven weeks ago, just before it was about to get bronzed and it looked very, very good," he said.
"Some of my friends were wondering whether the statue was going to be the old or new me - the 10-stone one or the 12-stone one.
"I thought most people got a statue when they were dead. I guess it will give the birds somewhere to sit."
The former rider won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 2010 and a lifetime achievement award in the 2015 ceremony.
He was a "brilliant subject" according to the sculptor and very easy to work with.
"AP has a really great face with incredible cheekbones, a great jaw and chin as well as really good hair," said Mr Ferriter.
"He is also a really funny guy and was incredibly obliging throughout the process."

Outbreaks in Asia, Africa and Middle East are an "extraordinary event" needing a co-ordinated "international response", the agency says.
It recommends citizens of affected countries travelling abroad carry a vaccination certificate.
It says Pakistan, Cameroon, and Syria "pose the greatest risk of further wild poliovirus exportations in 2014."
The WHO recorded 417 cases of polio worldwide for the whole of 2013. For 2014, it had already recorded 68 cases by 30 April - up from 24 in the same period last year.
Polio mainly affects children under five years old.
The virus is transmitted through contaminated food and water, and multiplies in the intestine. It can then invade the nervous system, causing paralysis in one in every 200 infections. It is capable of causing death within hours.
"The conditions for a public health emergency of international concern have been met," said Bruce Aylward, WHO Assistant Director General.
He was speaking after last week's emergency meeting in Geneva on the spread of polio which included representatives of the affected countries.
"The international spread of polio to date in 2014 constitutes an 'extraordinary event' and a public health risk to other states for which a co-ordinated international response is essential," the WHO's International Health Regulations Emergency Committee said in statement.
"If unchecked, this situation could result in failure to eradicate globally one of the world's most serious vaccine preventable diseases."
The WHO also lists Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Israel, Somalia and Nigeria as "posing an ongoing risk for new wild poliovirus exportations in 2014."
It is only the second time in the WHO's history it has made such a declaration, the first being during the swine flu pandemic of 2009, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva reports.
The polio virus is endemic in just three countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. But attacks on vaccination campaigns in Pakistan in particular have allowed the virus to spread across borders.
Syria, which was polio-free for 14 years, was re-infected with the virus from Pakistan.
Refugees are still pouring out of Syria, to Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, and checking whether all of them have been vaccinated will be impossible, our correspondent says.
He told The Observer that "any kind of physical border" would be "bad for the peace process".
Mrs May has said she wants a "seamless, frictionless border" after Brexit.
She also said that the ability of people to move freely across the border is "an essential part of daily life".
In a statement on Sunday a UK government spokesperson re-iterated that both governments have made clear that "we want these seamless movements between our nations to continue."
However, Mr Ahern, who played a key role in the Northern Ireland peace process, said she appeared to be changing her stance.
"(May) seems to be switching her language," he said.
"She's saying not that there'll be no border, but that the border won't be as difficult as to create problems."
He added: "I worry far more about what's going to happen with that.
"It will take away the calming effects (of an open border).
"Any attempt to try to start putting down border posts, or to man (it) in a physical sense as used to be the case, would be very hard to maintain and would create a lot of bad feeling."
Mr Ahern served as taoiseach between 1997 and 2008. He was one of the signatories of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, but said that the post-Brexit border could put the agreement in jeopardy.
He said: "For the nationalist community in Northern Ireland, the Good Friday Agreement was about removing barriers.
"With so many other issues, there is a real concern... the only way (of) doing this will be a hard border."
Mr Ahern also told The Observer that he did not see how it would be possible to use technology to maintain an open border, such as the one between Norway and Sweden.
"I haven't found anyone who can tell me what technology can actually manage this," he said.
Mrs May has previously said they she understood that the ability of people to move freely across the Irish border is "an essential part of daily life".
She spoke after meeting with Taoiseach Enda Kenny at the end of January.
Mr Kenny also said that he has told the prime minster that "any manifestation of a hard border" would have "very negative consequences that (Mrs May) fully understands".
A UK Government Spokesperson said: "Fourteen thousand people regularly commute across the border for work and study. Both the UK and Irish governments have made clear that we want these seamless movements between our nations to continue."
The action by Jacqueline Morton's sons could pave the way for payouts to the relatives of the six people killed.
Glasgow City Council, which employed lorry driver Harry Clarke, has said it does not intend to contest the action, which will be settled by insurers.
A fatal accident inquiry found Mr Clarke lost consciousness at the wheel before the crash in December 2014.
Those who died in the city centre crash were Jacqueline Morton, 51, and Stephenie Tait, 29, both from Glasgow, Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, from Dumbarton, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh.
Their families were told in December last year that they could not launch private prosecutions against Clarke.
Ms Morton's sons and four other members of their family are named in legal proceedings at the Court of Session in Edinburgh where they are seeking compensation.
There is already an agreement between the council's insurers and the family that the action will not be defended.
Last month, Harry Clarke admitted culpably and recklessly driving a car in September 2015, despite his licence having been revoked. He is awaiting sentence at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
But unlike most people who work in factories, she has no boss. The workers here took over the factory when it went bankrupt in 1998.
All the managers or "co-ordinators" are elected by assemblies of employees.
"For me it's an enormous change from working in a factory under a boss, working co-operatively," she says.
"Each of us knows what we have to do. No one tells you what you have to do."
This metal and plastics packaging factory in Buenos Aires is one of 367 employee-run workplaces in Argentina.
Since the deep recession of the late 1990s Argentine workers have taken over not just factories but hotels, offices and even clinics and schools.
These "recovered" workplaces employ 15,948 people, according to a study by the University of Buenos Aires.
Victor Rodriguez has worked at the packaging factory since 2001, operating a machine that paints the toothpaste tubes.
"It's work and at the same time an education and a commitment to those around you. You don't just think about yourself, but about everyone," he says.
Under the previous left-wing governments of Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernandez some of the co-operatives had legal status and received loans.
The end of Kirchnerismo
Who is Mauricio Macri?
But many workers at the factory are worried about how they will fare under new conservative president Mauricio Macri, who took office in December 2015.
President Macri has a more free-market approach, aimed at reviving economic growth and stimulating investment.
His government has removed price controls, leading to a sharp rise in electricity and gas prices.
It has also reduced tariff barriers so companies now have to compete with cheap imports.
Higher prices also mean that people are spending less and it is harder for Argentine businesses to sell their products.
Eduardo Murua was elected by the workers in the factory to be production manager. He is also a leader of the recovered factory movement.
"The problem since Macri took power is the economic plan that he has launched is a savage adjustment which has hit the working class and the Argentine people," he says.
"The impact on recovered companies is particularly great.
"We have also noticed a more repressive attitude towards the workers when they occupy factories."
Since President Macri took office, six recovered companies have gone bankrupt, according to Andres Ruggeri from the University of Buenos Aires.
He says co-operatives are not just facing an economic squeeze, but a more politically hostile government.
"There has been a series of eviction orders from some judges.
"These are not government orders, but there is a change in the political climate and many cases that were held up in the courts are now being advanced rapidly," he says.
According to Mr Ruggeri, expropriation laws that help recovered companies are being vetoed by the governor of Buenos Aires, who is from the same party as President Macri.
He also says that government programmes that financed worker-controlled companies have ended.
Pro-government congressman Nicolas Massot argues that the government's economic measures are necessary to create a stronger economy and more jobs in the future.
"We'll never reduce inflation if we don't eliminate subsidies.
"We know the economic transition is not easy but there is no other way of solving Argentina's economic problems," he says.
Mr Massot says that Argentina's poorest people and some companies are receiving state support to help them during the adjustment period.
He predicts that by 2017 the economy will see stronger growth, slower inflation and rising investment.
Julio Marinero has worked in the factory for 28 years.
He agrees that President Macri's policies will improve the economy in the longer term.
"The guy's been given a bankrupt country and he is trying to turn it around.
"I'm not political or anything but I think he's doing well. It's not going to happen overnight, but things will get better," he argues.
But workers' production manager Eduardo Murua warns that it will be a struggle for many co-operatives to keep going.
"If you're asking about our factory, I am sure we will survive. We are ready to fight, ready to organise ourselves better, ready to sacrifice a bit more and keep it going, but I think the majority of the recovered companies are going to have a problem.
"The situation is very, very, very difficult."
Many of their fans agreed, saying they would not let the bomb stop them.
But hundreds stayed away from the gig because it was "too soon" after 22 people died at an Ariana Grande show.
Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr told the Bridgewater Hall crowd: "We would have felt cowardly just leaving town."
Their concert was the biggest gig in the city on Tuesday, and Kerr began by delivering a speech about the dilemma they faced in light of the previous night's events.
"This morning when we woke there was a decision to be made - do we play or do we cancel and leave town?" he said.
"I'm sure if we had done that, everybody would have understood. But we would have felt cowardly."
With the rest of the band lined up on stage, he added: "When we went through the band and spoke to the crew, everybody wanted to play. There was no doubt about that."
Before launching into the gig, he asked the audience to "take one minute to meditate and we'll play a bit of music and think of the victims of last night and their families".
The crowd spontaneously rose to their feet and stood in silence as reflective pre-recorded music was played.
There were empty seats, though. The show had been sold out, but when the gig started, on my level, around 80% of ticketholders had turned up.
The venue's capacity is 2,300 - meaning several hundred decided to stay away.
Many ticket-holders had earlier said they didn't agree with the decision to go ahead.
"Sadly wont be going," wrote Andrew Sturgess on Twitter. "Tried to reason for going all day. I can understand both sides. But too soon and too close for me."
Lindsay Hunt said: "Can't believe this concert is going ahead. Too soon. Our seats will be empty as my kids are still in shock after last night's events."
And Chris M wrote: "After much soul-searching, have decided not to go tonight. I know the show must go on, but the feeling just isn't right with me."
Among those who did attend, there was defiance.
"We are very saddened, but then we feel we've got to come," Diane Barber from Northwich in Cheshire told BBC News before the show.
"It would be too easy not to come. It's been hard. But we have to. That's the thing about Manchester - it's very strong. It's hard to come, but why should we let these people beat us?"
Another concert-goer named Gill said: "We should keep on with life, keep doing what we're doing. I did have hesitations. I've got children at home and I didn't want them worrying that we're in town.
"But I wanted to also show them that we don't give in to these violent, evil people and we carry on doing our best to keep supporting the arts and the city and businesses and life."
Ray Collins, also from Northwich, said turning up represented "being brave and standing up for values".
He said: "I know it was an extremely sad and sadistic thing that happened last night... and people may have doubts about Simple Minds with the way they're carrying on with their concert, but I think that's standing up for our values.
"There's fright but we've got to be strong as well."
One band that faced the same dilemma as Simple Minds was Take That, but the Mancunian man band reached a different decision.
They played three nights at the city's arena last weekend and were due to play three more nights there this weekend.
In between, they were scheduled to appear at Liverpool Echo Arena on Tuesday, but postponed that show "out of respect to all of the people and their families that were affected by the horrific incident last night".
Back in Manchester, a member of the city's musical royalty - former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr - made a surprise appearance with Broken Social Scene at the Albert Hall on Tuesday.
Other gigs went ahead, and it was confirmed that one of the city's musical events of the year will take place as planned this Saturday.
The Courteeners will play a sold-out 50,000-capacity show at Old Trafford cricket ground, supported by other local bands including The Charlatans and Blossoms.
Announcing the decision, The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray said of the attack: "This will hurt. For a long time. But as you walk around town today try not to bow your head. Look up at the skies. We'll see you on Saturday."

"Everybody thought I had gone completely nuts," he says. "They were saying 'what's wrong with this guy? Is he having a hippy moment?'."
Mr Rodrigues, a successful IT consultant, had woken up one day and decided to quit the day job.
Instead of doing lucrative work for other people, he was going to retire to his basement and develop a best-selling computer product.
The significant problem was that he didn't have any ideas. But to the worry of his wife, and scorn of his mother-in-law - who lived with them - he was undeterred.
So back in 2001 he shut himself away beneath his house in the Canadian city of Mississauga, and started to try to dream up something.
"My goal was that I wanted to see what I could produce if I did something I really liked," he says.
"I didn't know what I was going to do, but I thought I would give it a shot."
After a month of working "crazy hours", Mr Rodrigues had come up with his first fully formed idea - a software system that allowed the user to control his or her mobile phone from their laptop.
Naming his company Soti, sales of the system started to grow slowly, until 12 months later Mr Rodrigues got a phone call out of the blue from one of the UK's largest supermarket groups.
The firm didn't want to sell the system to its customers, instead it wanted to incorporate it into its operations, so staff could better communicate and pass on data and other information.
Mr Rodrigues, now 55 and Soti's chief executive, says: "I was still in my basement when I got a call from the company, saying they would like to place an order.
"I don't think they realised that they were talking to just one guy in a basement, so when the person asked to speak to someone in sales I came back on the phone with a slightly different tone."
The little ruse worked, and the UK firm placed a "huge order" for 20,000 units.
Soti has never looked back; and while most people have never heard of the firm - because it sells its mobile technology software systems to companies instead of consumers - it today has annual revenues of $80m (£62m).
This is despite Mr Rodrigues not needing any external investment. The business remains 100% owned by him and his wife.
Continuing to turn down numerous takeover bids, including an undisclosed offer from Microsoft in 2006, the Canadian business leader instead says he wants Soti to "become as big as they get" in the computer world.
Born in Pakistan to a Roman Catholic family that had its roots in the former Portuguese colony of Goa on India's west coast, Mr Rodrigues emigrated to Canada with his parents and four siblings when he was 11.
The decision to leave Pakistan was Mr Rodrigues' mother's. He says she was increasingly concerned at political and social instability in the country in the early 1970s.
He says: "Dad was happy in Pakistan, but mum wanted us kids to have a nice safe place to grow up in, and have a good education."
As the family spoke English at home, Mr Rodrigues says he had no problem settling in Toronto. He even liked the significantly colder weather.
"I was dying to see snow," he says. "This magical thing I had never seen."
After "doing enough at school to go to university", Mr Rodrigues did a degree in computer science and mathematics at the University of Toronto.
He then spent a number of years working as a consultant, before launching Soti in 2001.
Today the company is valued at more than $1bn (£770m), and has 17,000 business customers around the world, and 700 employees across 22 countries.
Instead of still being based in Mr Rodrigues' basement, its headquarters is split across two buildings in Mississauga, which borders Toronto in the Canadian province of Ontario.
Technology journalist Martin Veitch who has followed Mr Rodrigues' career, says Soti has been so successful because of its specialised approach.
"I think Soti is an example of a company that has succeeded by being focused on a business niche," says Mr Veitch, who is contributing editor of website IDG Connect.
"A lot of its rivals are huge vendors that play in virtually every aspect of IT. That's fine for those customers that like 'one throat to choke', but for others a company that is a specialist represents a better fit."

On a day-to-day basis Mr Rodrigues says he likes his senior managers to all "be their own chief executive".
He explains: "I'm so busy doing other things, they need to be their own CEOs and run their own organisations."
One problem Mr Rodrigues says the company has faced, is struggling to recruit enough good computer programmers.
To get around this problem he has had to think creatively, and Soti advertises for people with no programming experience or qualifications to try their luck.
So far the firm has recruited 16 or so people under the initiative that sees applicants put through a number of tests.
Soti has also hired 20 programmers from the Ukraine, who it helped move to Canada with their families.
While Mr Rodrigues no longer has to work from his basement, his mother-in-law still lives with him, his wife and their two sons.
"My mother-in-law is not a shy person shall we say... but I think she is pleased [with what I have achieved]."
More than 100 other people, including many police officers, were injured.
The incident took place in the state of Oaxaca, where two high-profile union leaders were arrested last week, accused of corruption.
Members of the CNTE union, which has a history of radical activism, have been blocking roads in southern Mexico ever since the union leaders were arrested.
The authorities said the police were trying to clear the roads when unknown gunmen began firing at both sides in order to create chaos and conflict.
Mexico's National Security Commission originally said in a statement that the police officers involved in the operation near the town of Nochixtlan were not carrying guns,
But federal police chief Enrique Galindo later said that an armed unit was deployed after shots were fired at the police and the protesters by "unidentified people" not linked to the demonstration.
The state-owned oil company, Pemex, warned on Friday that it might be forced to close a refinery in the area if the highway linking Oaxaca to the capital, Mexico City, remained blocked.
The dissident CNTE union opposes education reforms introduced by President Enrique Pena Nieto in 2013.
The changes include new measures to assess teachers' performance.
Union members say the corruption allegations against their leaders are politically motivated.
Ruben Nunez was accused of siphoning off money raised illegally from union members. Prosecutors also accused him of money laundering.
"He raised more than 24m pesos ($1.3m; £900,000) illegally between 2013 and 2015," said prosecutor Gilberto Higuera.
For two years the union demanded a 3.5% cut of purchases made by unionised members from some businesses in Oaxaca, according to Mr Higuera.
The money was taken from the education workers' payslips, which prosecutors say was controlled by the union.
Mr Nunez's deputy, Francisco Villalobos, was arrested for allegedly stealing textbooks.
The leader of the party said: "We got it wrong and I'm sorry for the mistakes Labour made."
He made the comments as he answered questions from four voters from Yorkshire during an interview on BBC Look North in Leeds.
Mr Miliband is defending the Doncaster North seat he has represented since 2005.
The Jay Report, found the abuse of 1,400 children in Rotherham over a 16-year period up to 2013 was ignored by agencies.
Anjum Abbasi, a Rotherham resident, asked Labour's leader how he would win the "hearts and minds of my community".
"We've got to bring the perpetrators of the abuse to justice if we possibly can," Mr Miliband said.
He previously issued an apology over events in the South Yorkshire town on the BBC's Sunday Politics programme in February.
Mr Miliband also told Mr Abbasi he had changed Labour's position on immigration and it was not "prejudice to worry about immigration, people's concerns are real".
Clive Phillips, a businessman, asked about help for business and about Labour's plans for a "ridiculous" mansion tax on properties worth more than £2m.
Mr Miliband said: "Not everybody is going to like it but we don't want to raise taxes on ordinary families.
"It's a fair choice to make, those with the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden."
He agreed the UK economy was growing but said the recovery had not "reached most people".
Mr Miliband also answered questions on the cost of childcare and student debt during the encounter.

Peel Energy wanted to add a further 16 wind turbines at Scout Moor between Rochdale and Rossendale.
Planning permission was granted in 2015 but that decision was called in by the government.
Its final ruling rejected proposals for a further 14 turbines in Rossendale but approved plans for two in Rochdale.
The announcement by Communities Secretary Sajid Javid follows a public inquiry into the planning decision by Rochdale and Rossendale councils.
Keadby, Lincolnshire 68 MW (34 turbines - 2 MW each)
Fullabrook Down, Devon 66 MW (22 turbines - 3 MW each)
Scout Moor, Lancashire 65 MW (26 turbines - 2.5 MW each)
Little Cheyne Court, Kent 59.8 MW (26 turbines - 2.3 MW each)
Ray Estate, Northumberland 54.4 MW (16 turbines - 3.4 MW each)
MW = Megawatts
Source: RenewableUK
Mr Javid agreed with the planning inspector that the area which fell under application A, on land in Rossendale, was valued for its "openness and tranquillity".
The 115m wind turbines would have had a "significant adverse effect" on the landscape and views, he ruled.
While he acknowledged, the two turbines in application B, in Rochdale, would also have a "significant adverse effect" on the openness of green belt land, he said the benefits of the increased production of renewable energy would "outweigh the harm identified".
The turbines in application B would "integrate well with the existing wind farm", he added.
There are 26 existing wind turbines on Scout Moor producing electricity for the national grid.
Proposals to double the size of the site had already been scaled down after a public consultation.
Peel Energy have six weeks to apply to the High Court if they want to challenge the decision.
Writing in the Sunday Times, Mr Price argued for MPs and lords to act against former Prime Minister Tony Blair in the wake of the Chilcot report.
He said the House of Commons' support for the war "left a stain on our democracy".
Mr Price, who is now an AM, was part of a campaign to impeach Mr Blair over Iraq a decade ago.
The original impeachment procedure, considered to be obsolete, allows parliament to prosecute and try peers and commoners.
It has not been used since 1806.
The Chilcot report concluded Mr Blair overstated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, sent ill-prepared troops into battle and had "wholly inadequate" plans for the aftermath.
Mr Price said: "Parliament that made this mistake must now undo it by using the tools at its disposal."
He said a modern version of impeachment - contempt of parliament - if passed on a parliamentary motion "would require the former prime minister to stand at the bar of the house as the indictment was read out".
He suggested other sanctions, such as the stripping of a privy counsellorship or a symbolic night detained by the parliament's sergeant at arms "would be available to parliament as it saw fit".
"But, for many, closure will come at the return of the ex-prime minister to the scene... this time not to repeat a self-serving apology withdrawn sliver by sliver over the course of a two-hour press conference, but to simply stand silent and alone as history's verdict is delivered," Mr Price wrote.
The AM for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr said the House of Commons' support for the war "left a stain on our democracy through a complete collapse of public trust in government".
"Iraq's bitterest legacy may yet be this post-truth era of anti-politics, where every politician and every expert is deemed to be disingenuous," he added.
Mr Blair has apologised for any mistakes made, but not the decision to go to war.
The 34-year-old moved to Wire in 2002 from Wakefield and has made 374 appearances over his 14-year stay.
The ex-England international, has won three Challenge Cups and reached two Grand Finals with the Wolves and will stay for the 2017 season.
"I am really excited. I am glad that we've got it sorted out pretty quickly," he told the club website.
"I have been a part of this club for such a long time and I would like it to go on a little bit longer yet.
"There's still one thing I haven't won at this club so hopefully we can get that done."
Lumb and Riki Wessels shared a 342-run opening stand as Notts made 445-8 on Monday, with Northants 425 all out.
The combined total of 870 runs broke a 14-year-old record for the most scored in a 50-over fixture in England.
"There's no fear now with the advent of Twenty20 and how guys hit the ball, they take the ropes on," Lumb said.
"It's credit to the guys' skills and the batsmen's skills and the bowlers' skills and the way the game's progressing, but it was an unbelievable game.
"You look at the scores around the country and 300 is kind of par and we got a bit more, but the way the game's going with these Powerplays, there's going to be some big scores this summer."
Lumb struck 184 runs from 150 balls as he made his first century in limited-overs cricket since hitting 106 on his one-day international debut for England against West Indies in February 2014.
The 36-year-old was supported by Wessels' 146 from 97 deliveries, before both batsmen were dismissed within three overs.
"It's one of those funny things, some days you walk out there and the stars align and you have a day out, and it seemed to be like that for me and Riki," Lumb told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"We got a big partnership and that's what we try to do and get the team off to a good start.
"It just kept on going and going, so when those days happen they're quite special."
Northants head coach David Ripley also paid tribute to his team's efforts at Trent Bridge, having fallen narrowly short of their target despite Rory Kleinveldt's 128 from 63 balls.
"It was a great run chase from us. I don't think we've had such a dangerous score that's been put in front of us and come so close," he said.
"There's areas with the ball that maybe we need to dig deeper, but we're proud of our efforts. There's a lot of guys that have put in a lot of hard work in for us to get within touching distance of that target."
Northants' hopes of completing an unlikely chase were hurt when former South Africa batman Richard Levi suffered a shoulder injury, with the 28-year-old eventually coming in at number 11.
"I was petrified Richard was going to have more damage - but having got that close he wheeled himself out there," Ripley continued.
"When we got to within 50 runs we started talking about it as he had his arm in a sling.
"Our hope was he'd be in with Graeme White or Rory Kleinveldt and he could just block and hold an end up, but when he was left with Ben Sanderson he had to try to play a hand himself.
"No-one quite likes glorious runners up for too long but I think we can take a bit of heart from that effort tonight."
Twenty-two people were caught illegally riding motorbikes earlier this month in an operation with South Wales Police.
NRW said it was a form of anti-social behaviour because of the damage caused to the land and the risk to the public.
But many bikers argue they have same right to use publicly owned land as walkers and horse riders.
NRW operational manager for south east Wales, Sally Tansey said not only had the problem of off-road biking increased, but it had become more difficult to manage.
"We're getting commercial operators bringing large groups of paying customers on to the land," she said, adding organised groups were able to "assemble quickly" using social media.
One of Wales' few off-road biking tracks is based near Ynysybwl in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Despite having a trail cut into the mountainside since the 1960s, the facility was only granted full planning permission eight years ago.
The owner of Bull MX track, Chris Jones said: "The problem can be fixed relatively easily by allocating areas and trails on NRW land - a publicly funded body - and then charging for the use of those trails."
He said the money could then go into other projects and maintaining the trails.
Mr Jones added: "If you're selling tens of thousands of bikes a year and there's nowhere for these bikes to ride then in a way you're promoting illegal riding."
The 11-year-old from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire was last seen on a bus in 1957.
The Crown said earlier this year the bus driver, Alexander Gartshore, would have been tried for her murder if he was still alive.
Its now considering the next steps in the investigation.
Moira's body has never been found. Specialists in soil science have now identified a number of sites where her remains might be buried.
Prof Lorna Dawson, geoforensics expert from the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, was enlisted earlier this year to help in the search for the schoolgirl's remains.
BBC Scotland reported last month that she was understood to have prepared a forensic report based on her initial investigations.
The Crown Office has now met her and said it would decide in due course which areas would be searched.
A spokesman said: "The Lord Advocate held a positive meeting with forensic expert Prof Lorna Dawson of the James Hutton Institute and DS Pat Campbell of Police Scotland and the Crown will now consider the next steps in the investigation into the murder of Moira Anderson.
"Specialist work in the field of soil science and geographical information has allowed investigators to narrow down the number of possible locations for the whereabouts of Moira's remains and a decision on the search areas will be made in due course."
Moira Anderson was last seen on 23 February 1957.
After leaving her grandmother's house, she boarded a Baxter's bus that was driven by Gartshore.
Later that year, he was jailed for raping a 17-year-old babysitter.
In 1999, convicted child abuser James Gallogley named his former friend Gartshore as Moira's murderer.
They were discovered off Brampton Lane near to the A508 in Chapel Brampton, near Northampton.
Police said the heads, possibly from fallow deer, were found in various stages of decomposition suggesting they had been dumped over the past two months.
They have warned restaurants and pubs not to purchase cheap venison that could have been illegally gained by poachers.
Owners have been told they should always be able to provide a paper trail to show where their venison was sourced, if they are offering it on menus.
Officers have appealed for anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area, or who has recently been offered cheap venison, to contact them.
US employers added 235,000 jobs in February, exceeding forecasts of about 200,000.
Analysts said the buoyant employment figures made an increase in US interest rates almost inevitable.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average 0.2% to 20,902.98 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.3% to 2,372.60 and the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.4% at 5,861.72.
The jobs data virtually guarantees higher interest rates "barring an asteroid strike on Washington", said Ian Shepherdson of Pantheon Macroeconomics.
The futures market for the key Federal fund interest rate puts the likelihood of a rate rise at between 98% and 100%, according to Bloomberg data.
However, stock indexes ended lower for the week, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq breaking a six-week streak of gains.
Jeffrey Kravetz, regional investment director at the Private Client Reserve of U.S. Bank, said the markets had already expected jobs growth to be strong in February.
"The reaction is not huge because the market was expecting a good number," he said.
Analysts also pointed to oil prices, which continued their recent slide, as weighing on investor sentiment.
Brent crude dropped 1.7% to $51.31 a barrel, while West Texas fell 1.8% to $48.38 a barrel.
She won the "excellence in fantasy film" prize for Mad Max: Fury Road.
Beavan, who previously won an Oscar in 1987, is also nominated for an Academy Award for her work on the Mad Max film.
Fry's comments on Beavan's choice of outfit after she won the best costume prize at the Baftas led to criticism on social media.
He told the audience at the ceremony: "Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to an awards ceremony dressed as a bag lady."
The former QI host, who had been presenting the show, later tweeted a picture of the pair and said she was a "dear friend" and had "got" the joke.
He has since left Twitter, saying the "fun is over".
If Beavan - who was presented with her award by British actress Kate Beckinsale - wins the Oscar this weekend, it would add to the statuette she was awarded for her work on period drama A Room with a View.

Tarantino took home the distinguished collaborator award "in recognition of his creative partnerships with costume designers", the awards organisers said. His co-stars in The Hateful Eight, Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, presented the award.
Costume designer Ellen Mirojnick, who has worked on Wall Street, Basic Instinct and Behind the Candelabra, was awarded the career achievement award, with the distinguished service award given to Edwina Pellikka, "for her dedication to the craft and art of design".
Other awards went to Lou Eyrich for American Horror Story: Hotel, which won the outstanding contemporary television series award; Mirojnick for The Knick, for outstanding period television series; Michele Clapton for Game of Thrones, which won the outstanding fantasy television series award and Julie Vogel took home the excellence in short form design prize.
Zack Davies, from Mold, was arrested at the store and will appear at Wrexham Magistrates' Court later.
North Wales Police said the attack in Mold had left a 24-year-old man from Yorkshire with life-changing injuries.
Det Ch Insp Alun Oldfield said the victim and his family were being supported by specialist family liaison officers.
He said: "We are encouraged by the large number of witnesses who have so far come forward to help us build a complete picture of what took place. However, if others can also assist I'd ask they contact police."
The incident happened on Wednesday. The supermarket and its petrol station reopened the following morning.
Police say they are treating the incident as racially motivated.
Margaret Deacon, 67, died at the scene of the accident which happened at 11:15 on Saturday.
The crash involved a white Renault Traffic van and a white Mercedes Sprinter van.

She is understood to have a serious head injury.
A full crash investigation was carried out at the time.
Sgt Billy Broatch has appealed for anyone who may have been on the road at the time and may have information to contact police.
Mr Johnson, who is also a Conservative MP, was involved in an altercation at traffic lights in the footage obtained by the Sun.
A source close to the mayor told BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins it was "a colourful choice of language" .
But the source added: "He was giving as good as he got to a guy who heckles him regularly."
It is understood the incident took place over a week ago.
The general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, Steve McNamara, said: "This was an incident between two grown men.
"No children were about and no-one was offended. It's a bit of a storm in the tea-cup."
Behind this incident is a dispute that has been simmering for months.
The black cab trade blame London Mayor Boris Johnson and Transport for London for failing to do enough to protect them.
Cabbies say the rise of minicab phone apps - in particular Uber - and the increase in illegal minicab touting is putting them out of business.
Cabbies are unhappy that Uber uses a mobile app to work out the cost of journeys. They argue this is the same as a taxi meter, which only black cabs are legally entitled to use in London.
There have been protests on the roads and at City Hall - and radio phone-ins are inundated with aggrieved taxi drivers.
Now the mayor is talking about putting a cap on the number of minicab drivers in London.
But the relationship between some black cabbies and Mr Johnson is looking increasingly strained.
Ben Garnham, 37, was left motionless on the floor after a clown landed on his head and said he was lucky not to have been paralysed.
He suffered a cut head, swollen face and a headache and was taken to hospital after the accident at Circus Zyair's show in Blackwood, Caerphilly county, on Monday.
The circus has been asked to comment.
Mr Garnham, of Cefn Fforest, Blackwood, went to the circus with two of his three daughters, Jade and Amber, and Jade's fiancee, Lauren.
He was picked out of the crowd by the clown, Ben Coles, to take part in the show.
The clown asked Mr Garnham to grab his legs before appearing to attempt a back flip, but landed on top of him and knocked the self-employed DJ out.
Three other circus staff then rushed over and carried an unconscious Mr Garnham out of the ring.
He said: "I was very lucky. I could have died or been paralysed.
"I don't blame the clown. What I was upset about was the way I was carried off. I was manhandled when I could have been seriously injured."
He said the circus had offered to refund his family for their tickets and a free visit when it visits Carmarthen on Saturday - which he hopes to go to.
Plateau United Feeders were 79-0 victors over Akurba FC while Police Machine FC demolished Bubayaro FC 67-0.
"It is unacceptable - a scandal of huge proportions," said Muke Umeh, chairman of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Organising Committee.
"The teams are suspended indefinitely, pending further sanctions."
Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine went into the matches level on points, with promotion to the lowest tier of the Nationwide League Division at stake.
Feeders scored 72 of their goals in the second half, while Police Machine reportedly scored 61 times after the break in their game.
The results meant that Plateau edged above Police Machine on goal difference.
Umeh added: "We will investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."
The NFF's director of competitions, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, gave assurances that the Organising Committee would hand out severe sanctions on all persons and institutions indicted by the investigation.
"The teams involved, their players and officials, match officials, coordinator and anyone found to have played some role in this despicable matter would be severely dealt with," Sanusi said.
Evans, 25, signed for German side Bayern in July 2015 from Bundesliga rivals Turbine Potsdam, who she joined from Glasgow City in 2012.
The former St Johnstone trainee has won 48 caps for Scotland, scoring 12 goals, and is part of their Euro 2017 squad.
"She has played at the top level for many years now and she joins us from a strong side," manager Pedro Martinez Losa told the club website.
Evans won the women's Bundesliga with Bayern in her first season at the club, in 2015-16. They finished runners-up to Wolfsburg last season.
Details of the length of her Arsenal contract have not been disclosed.
Tries from Kotaro Matsushima and Yoshikazu Fujita helped them into an 18-8 half-time lead, with Takudzwa Ngwenya crossing for the US.
Amanaki Mafi burst through for Japan's third try before Chris Wyles crossed to give the United States hope.
But Goromaru's third penalty late in the game gave Japan a clear lead.
After their thrilling opening win against South Africa, Japan went on to add the scalps of Samoa and the US, but their heavy defeat by Scotland left them third in the group, and they miss out on a place in the last eight.
The Eagles finish having lost all four of their matches.
Japan, who left Kingsholm to a standing ovation after a lap of honour, host the competition in four years' time and will go into that tournament buoyed by an excellent World Cup on English soil.
They had only ever won one match at a World Cup before, and their three victories in England represent a significant improvement.
Japan are the first non-tier-one team to win three matches at a single Rugby World Cup.
Full-back Ayumu Goromaru is the first player to score more than 50 points in a single RWC campaign for Japan. At the end of the pool stage, only Greig Laidlaw (60) has scored more than him in 2015 (58).
Eric Fry became the seventh player to get a yellow card for the USA in a RWC match.
Japan's win brought to an end a highly-competitive and entertaining pool stage. The quarter-finalists are now known as the 2015 tournament reaches the business end.

Late-stage disease is found in about 25% of black African and 22% of black Caribbean breast cancer patients.
In white breast cancer patients, the figure is 13%.
Experts say there are many reasons for this. Vital ones to change are low awareness of symptoms and screening.
According to Cancer Research UK, black women are less likely than white women to go for a mammogram when invited by the NHS.
Spotting cancer early is important because the sooner it can be treated, the better the outcome.
A support group in Leeds helps women of black African and Caribbean descent who have either had breast cancer themselves or have loved ones who have.
One woman there told the BBC: "A lot of us black people bury our head in the sand. 'Oh, me, well, I don't need to go, there's nothing wrong with me.'"
Another said: "I find a lot of people, they'll find out something is wrong but they keep it to themselves and they're praying. They're praying that God will heal them."
Heather Nelson, who works for BME Cancer Voice, said: "Women, especially women of colour, are less likely to go for screening.
"You'll get leaflets through your door and they will be predominantly of white, middle-class women. There's no representation of South Asian, African descent et cetera.
"If you get information like that, you're going to look and think, 'That's not about me.'"
Most breast cancers are still diagnosed at an early stage, across all ethnic groups, the data for 2012-13 shows.
Dr Julie Sharp, of Cancer Research UK, said: "If you notice something that isn't normal for you, or you've a symptom that's not gone away or has got worse, getting it checked out promptly could save your life."
Lumps are not the only sign of possible breast cancer.
Women should also get checked if they notice any changes to their breasts such as nipple discharge or changes to the skin.
Breast screening (mammogram) is offered to all women in England aged 50-70.
The NHS is in the process of extending the programme as a trial, offering screening to some women aged 47-73.
Women over the age of 70 will stop receiving screening invitations but can arrange an appointment by contacting their local screening unit.

Back in September 1963, when Sussex played Worcestershire in the first Gillette Cup final, Harold MacMillan was Prime Minister, The Beatles were poised to top the charts with 'She Loves You' and a gallon of petrol cost half a crown, the same price as a pint and a packet of cigarettes,
Meanwhile, the nation's police were busy hunting for the Great Train robbers (except for Ronnie Biggs, who had been arrested the previous day) and Bill Shankly's Liverpool were still eight months away from winning their first league title.
Much has changed since, and the game of cricket is very different to that played half a century ago.
Ask both winning wicketkeeper Jim Parks and Worcestershire spinner Norman Gifford where the biggest changes have come since Sussex's narrow 14-run victory at Lord's that day and, to a man, they both say out in the middle.
"The game as they play it is totally different to how it was then," Parks, now 82, told BBC Sport. "I still enjoy watching it though."
Gifford, 73, added: "There are things people don't like about cricket now. But the main thing is that, especially at international level, it still fills grounds and that's got to be good for the game."
Nevertheless, as can be judged from the wonderful stories told when Gifford was invited to join the seven Sussex survivors from that day in attending a 50th anniversary lunch in Hove last week, it does not stop either of the two former England players wistfully remembering the good old days.
When the two captains, Sussex's Ted Dexter and Worcestershire's Don Kenyon, trotted down the pavilion steps to toss up in September 1963, they did so wearing blazers, with their whites underneath, to decide who should take first use of a pitch for a 65-over contest, to be played out between the scheduled hours of 1100-1930.
This Saturday's final, only 40 overs per side, will be an hour and three-quarters - and 50 overs - shorter, which says a lot about modern-day over rates.
It only took a year before Gillette Cup cricket was whittled down to 60-a-side, the Benson & Hedges Cup then began its 30-year life in 1972 as a 55-over contest and, in 1999, the main Lord's final became a 50-over competition, to be brought in line with one-day internationals.
Next summer it all goes full circle again when the 40-over competition reverts to 50 overs.
On Saturday, if Glamorgan bat, it will be their number 28, Gareth Rees, who takes first strike. If they bowl, it will be their number 31 Michael Hogan running in from the Nursery End, clad in royal blue.
In 1963, Worcestershire's Jack Flavell bowled the first ball of the day to Sussex opener Richard Langridge, numbers 11 and one on the scorecard.
There were no coloured kits, no fielding circles, no powerplays, no loud music when a wicket fell and, given that marketing departments were still a thing of the future, neither team felt the need to tag any suffix to their name like Sharks, Royals, Dragons or Outlaws.
Most professional cricketers played from May to September, then spent the winter months plying a different trade, from selling insurance to paraffin or even, as in the case of one former Sussex player, Christmas trees.
Sussex played at Hove, not the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, while this year's finalists Glamorgan had not, by then even begun playing at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, let alone renamed it.
But, as both Gifford and Parks insist, what has changed most is the way they play the game.
"For us, that day at Lord's was only the fourth game of one-day cricket the county had ever played," recalls Parks. "But there has always been league cricket. And we were just lucky that we had a captain in Ted Dexter who had worked out how to play it.
"We'd done our homework. I was vice captain and we had sat down and worked out what we were going to do.
"When we played Kent at Tunbridge Wells in the first round, Colin Cowdrey was their captain.
"He kept in two slips all the way through and we piled up over 300.
"When they batted, Ted had players scattered all over the field, we won by 72 runs and we received an official letter from Kent, saying how disgusted they were with our tactics and that it was not in the spirit of cricket."
Cricket's first recorded 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' or not, it would be two years before the rest cottoned on as Sussex went on to win both the first two one-day finals, following their victory over Worcestershire, by doing the same to Warwickshire a year later, in 1964.
While Parks was the top scorer in the match that day at Lord's in 1963 with 57, the man of the match award, rarely for someone on the losing team, actually went to Gifford, who took 4-33 in his 15 overs.
But Gifford generously maintains that they picked the wrong man.
"They should have given it to Jim," he said. "It was a sticky wicket, as they only had one cover for the wicket and rain had got underneath, and he batted magnificently.
"He was perfect for one-day cricket. He was a player who was never afraid to hit over the top."
Recalled Parks: "I did like to lift the ball. I remember once playing Yorkshire and putting Tony Nicholson four times over the square cover boundary for six.
"But we had to bat properly that day at Lord's. We were bowled out for 168 in the 61st over and you'd have thought that might not have been enough.
"But Ted came up with another inspired idea. Having seen what Giffy had done, he put on Alan Oakman, who was only then an occasional off spinner, who had not previously bowled in the competition. he took 1-17 in 13 overs, including the key wicket of Tom Graveney - and they came up short."
Gifford was able to cash in that day on the joys of uncovered pitches, as did many a decent spinner in his day, most notoriously Kent's 'Deadly' Derek Underwood.
But, despite the frustration of spending too much of his is career playing second fiddle to Underwood when it came to England selection, and a record of six times being a beaten finalist, Gifford's only regret remains that he did not get the chance to play more one-day cricket.
"I lost there four times with Worcestershire, once with Warwickshire and once more when I was coaching Sussex.
"Even my brother Dave lost there when he played there in the Village final for Lindal Moor in the 1977 final (ironically against Worcestershire side Cookley).
"So the Gifford family do not have a great track record at Lord's.
"But I loved it. In fact, if it had not been for one-day cricket, I might have packed in the game sooner than I did."
The American, 34, won 6-2 6-3 to pass Roger Federer in the all-time list of matches won at the tennis majors.
She moves on to the quarter-finals, where she will face Romanian fifth seed Simona Halep, who beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 7-5.
"It's a huge number," Williams said of her record 308th win.
"I think it's very significant actually. I definitely never thought I would be playing still. Now I don't really see when I'm going to stop.
"I'm just enjoying these moments out here, getting to break records that I didn't even know existed or I didn't even know was possible.''
Halep has lost seven of eight matches against Williams but hopes that will at least keep the pressure off in their quarter-final.
Ana Konjuh, 18, became the first Croat to reach the women's quarter-finals at the US Open with a shock 6-4 6-4 win over fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
Konjuh hit 38 winners including six aces as she avenged a second-round loss to her Polish opponent at Wimbledon.
"It's been an incredible night," said the 2013 US Open junior champion after she made it past the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time.
"This time I got revenge, so I'm really happy."
Konjuh will now face Czech 10th seed Karolina Pliskova, who saved a match point as she beat Venus Williams 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-3).
"Whenever you have a match point on someone else's serve, it's a little bit of an asterisk," said Williams. "I really have no regrets on that."
Police said the blue Ford transit van overturned into a hedge under a bridge on Maesgwyn Road, Fishguard, at about 10:15 BST on Tuesday.
It is believed the vehicle rolled down the road when it was empty and the man became trapped after running after it.
Fire crews used cutting equipment and airbags to free him.

Mr Greenwald recently published allegations that US officials monitored communications of the Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff.
Another recent report accused US authorities of spying on Brazil's oil company Petrobras.
The firm's president and five Brazilian ministers are also expected to testify.
Mr Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, who was held for more than eight hours by British authorities at a London airport on his way back to Brazil, is also expected to testify to the parliamentary commission.
The Rio de Janeiro-based journalist's allegations are based on documents leaked by the fugitive American former intelligence worker, Edward Snowden.
Mr Greenwald spoke about the spying allegations before the Brazilian Congress in August.
Ms Rousseff is expected to go ahead with a planned visit to Washington in October, despite fierce criticism in Brazil over the allegations of spying by US officials.
The Brazilian investigative commission wants to probe whether the alleged spying on Petrobras could have compromised the integrity of the public auction of a major oil field in October.
The Senators will invite the Minister of Communications, Paulo Bernardo, the Justice Minister, Jose Eduardo Cardozo, the Defence Minister, Celso Amorim, the Foreign Relations Minister, Luiz Figueiredo, and the Minister of the Institutional Security Office, Jose Elito, to testify.
US President Barack Obama has already vowed to investigate allegations that the National Security Agency (NSA) spied on his Mexican and Brazilian counterparts.
Mr Greenwald, a reporter for the British Guardian newspaper, alleged the NSA spied on communications between aides of Ms Rousseff and accessed all internet content that she had visited online.
Mr Greenwald was the first journalist to reveal the secret documents leaked by Mr Snowden on 6 June. Since then, he has written a series of stories about surveillance by US and UK authorities.
She was one of Hollywood's best loved actresses, after portraying the galactic heroine who was known for being smart, feisty, and brave.
The American star first played the role in 1977, nearly 40 years ago, in the very first Star Wars film - "Episode IV -- A New Hope".
Since then, Star Wars has become one of the most successful film franchises of all time with eight films enjoyed by millions of fans around the world.
Most recently Carrie Fisher starred in "The Force Awakens" which was released in 2015.
You might even have spotted her in "Rogue One" which premiered this month, although her image had to be computer generated, because the character of Leia was very young in that film.
As well as acting, Carrie Fisher was famous for raising awareness about mental health, by speaking about her own problems and advising people on how to get help.
Actors and fans around the world have been paying tribute to the star.
Star Wars' creator George Lucas said: "She was our great and powerful princess. She will be missed by all."
Judges dismissed a government appeal against a Court of Appeal ruling in favour of Paul and Susan Rutherford, who care for their grandson Warren.
The Supreme Court ruled the housing benefit cut discriminated against them.
Mr Rutherford, of Clunderwen, Pembrokeshire, said: "We are happy and hugely relieved with today's result."
The Rutherfords argued the room was essential because it was used by carers who look after Warren overnight and said the £14 a week reduction to their benefits was unlawful.
Warren suffers from a rare genetic disorder which means he is unable to walk or talk and cannot feed himself and needs 24-hour care.
In the same hearing, Jacqueline Carmichael, from Southport, Merseyside, who has spina bifida, won a similar ruling.
Judges unanimously ruled "the scheme in relation to her is discriminatory".
However, judges rejected the cases of five others who have had their housing benefit reduced as a result of the government's changes.
A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spokesman said: "In the two specific cases where the court did not find in our favour, we will take steps to ensure we comply with the judgement in due course."
Sophie Earnshaw from the legal team at Child Poverty Action Group, which acted for the Rutherfords, said: "In this case, disabled children were being treated worse than adults.
"For Paul and Susan Rutherford, the judgment lifts an enormous burden of uncertainty about their grandson's future - an uncertainty they've had to live with since 2013 when the legal process started."
Mr Rutherford added: "It has been an extremely stressful and long three years and we are glad that it is has come to a close.
"We never imagined this would happen to us - our priority has always been Warren's happiness. We can now move on with our lives secure in the knowledge that we can continue to care for Warren at home."
Those who had their cases dismissed were:
The Seven Dials junction was labelled the "most accident prone" by Brighton and Hove City Council, with 20 accidents in the past three years.
An elm tree was due to be removed, but was saved after two protesters spent 48 hours up the tree in March.
The work included replacing a mini-roundabout and removing street clutter.
Guard railings have also been removed and the paving has been replaced.
The seven roads that meet at Seven Dials include the A2010, a major route through Brighton.
Bindon Bottom B&B, in West Lulworth, Dorset, beat competitors in Florida, Prague and Belgium to claim the crown.
Bridlington's South Lodge Guest House and Swallows Rest B&B, in Brigstock, Northants, came third and fifth.
A spokesperson for Visit England said the results were "fantastic news".
Lisa and Clive Orchard, who own Bindon Bottom B&B, said, "We are genuinely appreciative to be recognised again in this year's Travellers' Choice Awards, and we want to sincerely thank all of our guests for reviewing us so kindly."
The Orchard's guest house saw off competition from B&Bs in the US, Czech Republic, Italy and Belgium to claim the top spot. The B&B has received 929 excellent reviews out of a total of 940
TripAdvisor spokeswoman Hayley Coleman said the awards, now in their 15th year, are "unlike other hospitality awards".
"[The awards] are based on feedback from actual guests over the past year, which is what makes them so prized within the industry," she said.
Clare and David Petty, owners of Thornleigh Guest House, in Keswick said they were "delighted" to feature in the top ten.
"A huge thank you to all of our lovely guests for choosing to stay with us and writing such wonderful reviews."
Visit England said: "It is fantastic news that five of England's B&Bs are rated by travellers in the top 10 globally, including the top spot.
"This continues the upward trend we've seen in recent years demonstrating that our tourism, accommodation and service is not only exceeding customer expectations but up there competing with the world's very best."
The man, believed to be 29-year-old Egyptian Abdullah Hamamy, was shot in the stomach as, authorities say, he lunged at soldiers with the knives.
President Francois Hollande says there is little doubt it was a terrorist act.
But Mr Hamamy's father has challenged the French authorities' account of the incident.
Reda al-Hamamy, a retired Egyptian police general, said his son was not a terrorist and accused the soldier who fired of "using brute force with a poor young man".
French authorities say the suspect also shouted the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") during the attack.
The suspect has been held at a Paris hospital since the attack near the museum, which houses numerous celebrated art works, including the Mona Lisa.
"The first interview took place this morning, but it turned out to be a short one. For the moment, he refuses to talk to investigators," the source at the prosecutor's office told Reuters.
Investigators have contacted Egyptian officials to try to confirm the suspect's identity through DNA testing, a source close to the inquiry told AFP news agency.
Reda al-Hamamy said his son was in Paris on a business trip, lives in the United Arab Emirates, and has a wife and a seven-month old son.
Police are also examining Mr Hamamy's Twitter account after around a dozen messages were posted in Arabic just minutes before the attack.
"In the name of Allah... for our brothers in Syria and fighters across the world," he wrote, before referring to the Islamic State jihadist group in another tweet a minute later, AFP says.
The suspect arrived in France on 26 January after obtaining a tourist visa in Dubai, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said on Friday. He is believed to have bought two machetes after arriving.
Cans of spray paint, but no explosives, were found in his backpack.
Hundreds of visitors were inside the museum at the time of the attack and were evacuated.
US media reports said Russia has sent advisers and hardware to Syria, in what Washington fears is an expansion of its support for President Bashar al-Assad.
Any such development would "escalate the conflict", Mr Kerry told his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Russia has been a key ally of Syria throughout its four-year civil war.
The New York Times cited US officials as saying Russia had despatched an advance military team to Syria, as well as housing units and an air traffic control centre to an airfield.
The officials quoted admitted they were unsure of Moscow's intentions, but said the deployments could enable Russia to use the airbase to facilitate supply of military gear or to launch air strikes against Mr Assad's enemies.
Mr Kerry made his concerns over the reports known to the Russian Foreign Minister in a phone call.
"If such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-Isil coalition operating in Syria," the state department said, using an alternative acronym for Islamic State (IS).
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday it was "premature" to talk about Moscow getting involved in direct fighting.
Russia and the US disagree sharply on Syria. While Russia has backed the Syrian government, and provided it with arms, the US wants to see the removal of President Assad.
In the latest fighting on the ground, at least 47 people died in fierce clashes between IS militants and other rebels in the northern town of Marea.
At least six members of Syria's security forces were shot dead in the south-western city of Sweida, after a prominent cleric in the minority Druze community died in a car bomb blast.

Sir Michael said it had been a mistake to drop the tests (known as Sats) at the end of Key Stage 3 in 2008.
He also said Sats taken at age seven should be externally moderated - at present teachers conduct assessments.
Giving his annual report, said he was "strongly urging" ministers to re-introduce external tests for both ages.
He said it was vital that youngsters' progress in English and maths was regularly checked.
Last week, international rankings showed the UK was falling behind global rivals in international tests taken by 15-year-olds, failing to make the top 20 in maths, reading and science. Shanghai in China came top in the OECD's Pisa tests.
Speaking as he published his report, Sir Michael said it was important to know how pupils were doing at certain stages of their education if England was to keep up with the rest of the world.
"I am calling on the government to re-introduce more formal external testing at the end of Key Stage 1. Indeed, I would strongly urge the government to re-introduce external testing at Key Stage 3 as well.
"Talk to any good head teacher and they will tell you it was a mistake to abolish those tests. That's because good teachers use those tests to make sure every child learns well.
"In getting rid of the tests, we conceded too much ground to vested interests. Our education system should be run for the benefit of children, and no-one else.
"With the proposed abandonment of national curriculum levels, it is vital that children's progress and outcomes are benchmarked at regular intervals in their school career.
"If we are serious about raising standards and catching up with the best in the world, we need to know how pupils are doing at seven, 11, 14 and 16."
The Ofsted chief said the watchdog had evidence that some in-school assessment at the end of Key Stage 1 (age seven) was unreliable.
He said sometimes schools were depressing results at this age so that progress by the end of Key Stage 2 (age 11) looked better.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "The department launched a consultation on the primary accountability system and will be responding in due course.
"We expect teachers to take professional responsibility for the accurate assessment of pupils."
Sir Michael said the decision to abolish national curriculum tests for children in England at the end of Key Stage 3 (Year 9) had been a mistake.
The tests were dropped in October 2008 by the then Labour Education Secretary, Ed Balls, following a debacle over the marking these external assessments.
ETS Europe, the company charged with administering the tests, had its contract terminated in the summer of 2008 following delayed results and concerns about quality.
But Sir Michael said: "Our inspectors say there is a hiatus between Key Stage 2 and 4, a drop-off in the pace of learning, progress slows, pupils mark time.
"The reintroduction of Key Stage 3 tests will speed things up, develop more pace in lessons."
Asked if he feared that more testing would encourage teachers to "teach to the test", he said he had never worried about tests as a teacher and a head.
"What I worried about was the quality of teaching in the classroom. If heads are doing that then you know the test results are going to be okay."

Clement, who replaced Bob Bradley as manager at the Liberty Stadium, left his post as FC Bayern assistant boss, with the German champions set to face Arsenal in the Champions League.
"I was at Arsenal on Boxing Day as a Bayern member of staff watching them play, so I have my notes," he said.
"Hopefully we take advantage."
Clement says he does not think he needs to update his observations.
"We would have been due to play them in the Champions League with Bayern. I'll be using the notes for Swansea instead of Bayern," he said.
"The notes are the same, just looking what they do and hopefully take advantage and I'll send (Bayern boss) Carlo (Ancelotti) a photocopy."

Clement believes it will be important to create stability at Swansea as he settles in as their third boss of a torrid season.
"I am their third coach of the season and they have come off some really tough results, so confidence is low and we need to get that back up," Clement explained.
"The best way to do that is to be well-prepared. How do you get someone feeling more confident? By making sure they are as well-prepared as possible.
"I will go into a game satisfied if I know I have done everything I can to prepare the team.
"If I arrive at a game feeling I have not prepared as well as I can I will not feel so confident.
"That is my objective, to get to 3:00pm on Saturday knowing I have done everything I can.
"That might mean not giving the players too much info, just the right amount."
Clement is looking for a quick response from the players and believes Swansea must focus on fixing their defence.
"Defensive work is important because it gives you a foundation," said Clement.
"If you're difficult to beat it gives you a much better chance of winning games.
"I'm not a coach who would particularly enjoy 4-3 and 5-4 wins.
"When I coached at Derby, particularly up to the half-way point of 23 games, we had an outstanding defensive record."
The Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against their convictions for weapons possession, incitement and taking part in illegal demonstrations.
Dr Ali al-Ekri was sentenced to five years and the eight others were given between a month and three years.
Nine other medics had their convictions overturned in June and two are hiding.
The case against the medics has drawn international condemnation and has been seen as a test of the government's commitment to reform.
It dates back to February and March 2011, when they worked at the Salmaniya Medical Centre in Manama.
The hospital treated many of those hurt when the security forces crushed protests demanding more democracy and an end to discrimination against the majority Shia Muslim community by the Sunni royal family.
During the unrest, some medics at the Salmaniya Medical Centre spoke out against the crackdown in interviews with foreign media after treating the wounded, or took part in protests after ambulances were fired at.
After King Hamad declared a state of emergency and brought in troops from neighbouring Sunni Gulf states, at least 95 health workers were arrested, according to Physicians for Human Rights.
In September 2011, 20 of them were convicted by the National Safety Court, a military tribunal, of attempting to bring down the government and sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Two were tried in absentia.
The medics and human rights groups dismissed the convictions as political and aimed at stifling dissent. Many of the defendants said they had been harassed by the security forces and then tortured in prison, simply for trying to treat people wounded in anti-government protests.
The UN's secretary general also expressed concern about the "harsh sentences" and "serious due process irregularities", and called for their release.
In November, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) - a panel of human rights experts asked to look into the unrest - called for civilian retrials for those who had been convicted by military tribunals. It confirmed that medical personnel were tortured in custody.
The medics' cases were then referred to the Criminal Court of Appeal, which in June upheld the convictions of the nine doctors. The court did, however, reduce the sentences imposed by the National Safety Court.
Dr Ekri was sentenced to five years for possession and concealment of "white weaponry" - a term used to describe non-firearms - to serve a terrorist purpose, and for participating in illegal gatherings, while his colleague Dr Ibrahim Damastani was given three years for possession of a "white weapon" and illegal assembly.
The other seven medics were sentenced to between one month and a year for taking part in illegal gatherings, holding public officials hostage, inciting sectarian hatred and destruction of hospital property. Five were immediately released on time served but still appealed.
On Monday, Deputy Attorney General Abdul Rahman al-Sayyed announced that the Court of Cassation had rejected the doctors' appeals.
He said the defendants had "used the security conditions that prevailed at the time, and violated the duties and ethics of their sacred profession, and undermined the security, safety and unity of the Bahraini people".
Panic founder Steven Frank admitted in a blog post that it happened after he downloaded an infected copy of the video encoding tool Handbrake.
He said there was no sign that any customer data was accessed and that Panic's web server was not affected.
Users have been warned to download Panic's apps only from its website or the Apple App Store.
Panic is the creator of web editing and file transfer apps Coda and Transmit, and the video game Firewatch.
On 2 May Handbrake was hacked, with the Mac version of the app on one of the site's download servers replaced by a malicious copy.
The infected app was discovered and removed on 6 May.
In what Mr Frank called "a case of extraordinarily bad luck", he downloaded the malicious version of Handbrake and launched it "without stopping to wonder why Handbrake would need admin privileges… when it hadn't before".
"And that was that, my Mac was completely, entirely compromised in three seconds or less."
The attacker then used his password to access other private files and copy the source code for several of Panic's products stored on the infected computer.
The theft was confirmed when Panic received an email containing some of the files and demanding a ransom for the return of the complete code.
"We're working on the assumption that there's no point in paying," Mr Frank wrote, saying that "the attacker has no reason to keep their end of the bargain".
The FBI is investigating the incident and Panic has been working with Apple to make sure that no malicious or fake versions of the apps get into the App Store.
"I feel like a monumental idiot for having fallen for this," Mr Frank admitted.
"It's a good reminder though — no matter how experienced you might be with computers, you're human and mistakes are easily made." | The government has overturned plans for what would have been England's largest onshore wind farm.

And the advantage for girls' schools remains even when other factors are taken into account, such as social background or a selective intake.
Girls from poorer families in single-sex schools got better GCSEs than their counterparts in mixed schools.
The study showed much less advantage for boys in single-sex schools.
The high performance of girls in single-sex schools has been identified by education data analysts SchoolDash, in a breakdown of GCSE results published last week.
In terms of overall GCSE results, single-sex state secondary schools, about 11% of the total, performed much better.
In mixed schools, 55% of pupils got five good GCSEs including English and maths, while in single-sex schools the proportion was 75%.
Among these single-sex schools, girls' schools got better results.
But there are some underlying factors skewing these results, such as:
When these and other factors are taken into account, girls' schools still showed a clear advantage, with greater levels of "value added" in terms of pupils' progress and better results for poorer pupils.
The difference in like-for-like comparisons, the researchers say, was equivalent to girls' schools being three percentage points ahead of mixed ones.
Boys in single-sex schools were ahead of mixed schools in raw GCSE results, but they did not show a significantly better performance once other factors had been taken into account.
The analysis also showed single-sex schools were concentrated in London and the South East.
London's GCSE results were the best in England - and the study showed almost a third of secondary schools in the capital were single-sex, far higher than anywhere else.
Girls' schools in London did particularly well in this year's GCSEs - with single-sex schools in the capital an average 12 percentage points higher than their counterparts
The study described a "halo" of single-sex schools around the edge of London, including those in the independent sector and grammars.
There were other clusters, such as around Liverpool, but smaller numbers in northern England and the Midlands, and overwhelmingly in urban rather than rural settings.
Single-sex schools had a higher proportion of ethnic-minority pupils, but a lower than average proportion of deprived pupils, as measured by eligibility for free school meals.
Teachers in single-sex schools tended to be older, better paid and taking significantly less sick leave than their counterparts in mixed schools.
SchoolDash founder Timo Hannay said: "It would now be interesting to try and understand why girls at girls' schools tend to do better than their peers, and what the vast majority of mixed schools might be able to learn from this phenomenon."
Earlier this month, Richard Cairns, head of Brighton College, said girls at single-sex schools would be at a "huge disadvantage" if they could not feel confident talking to boys.
Single-sex schools were described as a "deeply unrealistic world".
But Caroline Jordan, president of the Girls' School Association, claimed the analysis of this year's results as a vindication of an all-girl education.
She said teachers with classes of girls could focus their teaching style on what worked best for girls.
"Girls are more collaborative, they like lessons to be more discussion-based," said Ms Jordan, who represents schools in the independent sector, where there is a long tradition of single-sex schools.
And an all-girl environment allowed them to "escape gender stereotyping", by, for example, encouraging more girls to pursue science subjects.
"Girls can be more confident in themselves, they don't have to become a particular type of girl, they're able to relax more," she said.
The claim girls in single-sex schools were more likely to study science was backed by long-term tracking studies, said Alice Sullivan, director of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies, at the UCL Institute of Education, in London.
"We found that girls from single-sex schools were more likely to take male-dominated subjects such as maths and science at school. Girls who had attended single-sex schools also had slightly higher wages than their co-ed peers in mid-life," said Prof Sullivan.
"People often make claims about the consequences of single-sex schooling for relationships between the sexes without referring to any evidence," she said.
"We found that women who attended single-sex schools were no more or less likely to marry than those in co-educational schools." | Girls at single-sex state schools in England get better GCSE results than those in mixed schools, according to an analysis of the most recent exams. | 35,419,284 | 992 | 33 | false |
They were part of 50-strong group from Dalbeattie High School on a trip to Normandy when their coach was involved in a collision with a car.
The incident happened near Alencon on Monday afternoon and parents were informed later.
None of the Scots casualties is thought to have life-threatening injuries.
Eight pupils were taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and three were kept in overnight, but they have since been discharged.
One teacher remains in hospital.
However, the driver of the car is believed to have been seriously injured.
A tweet sent from the school's Twitter account at about 14:00 on Monday had shown a view from the bus window with the comment: "View from the Dalbeattie High adventure bus is not too shabby! Had our lunch & 2hrs from the Chateau de Tertre."
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said on Tuesday morning that they were in contact with the authorities in France and with the school to offer consular assistance to those involved.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We are closely monitoring the situation in France following a bus crash involving a school trip from Scotland and our thoughts are with those affected and families worried about loved ones.
"The Scottish government is in direct contact with Dumfries and Galloway education department and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and we stand ready to offer support and assistance as appropriate."
Dumfries and Galloway Council confirmed all the pupils were set to return home following the accident.
Director of Education Colin Grant said: "The well-being of all those on the trip is our priority.
"Following discussions, we have decided to bring the group home.
"The group has been given excellent support locally. We are in regular contact with the group and are continuing to monitor the situation."

The "odd-even" car rationing experiment will run for an initial two-week trial period after which the government will decide whether to extend it or junk it.
The city - the most polluted in the world, according to the World Health Organisation - has been experiencing hazardous levels of pollution this winter - and the government believes that draconian measures are needed to help improve the air quality.
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi explains how this formula will work.
For the first 15 days in the New Year, number plates ending with odd numbers - one, three, five, seven and nine - will be allowed on odd dates while number plates ending with even numbers - zero, two, four, six and eight - will be allowed on even dates.
The restrictions will be in place from 8am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday.
The rule has to be followed by everyone, except for those who have been granted exemption.
Delhi is known for its wide avenues, but with more than 8.5 million vehicles in the city, the roads are choked with endless traffic snarls.
And reports say with 1,400 new cars being added to the city roads every day, the situation is going to get only worse.
Authorities say car emissions are a major contributor to pollution and curtailing their use will help clean the city air.
They want to encourage more people to start using public transport like the Metro and the bus or take to cycling.
The odd-even formula is among several measures aimed at reducing smog levels - the plan is also to shut some coal-fired power plants in the vicinity of the city and vacuum roads to reduce dust.
The list of exemptions is long:
This long list of exemptions has caused much heartburn - the Delhi police chief has said enforcing the scheme will be difficult and the Delhi high court has asked the government to explain the rationale behind exempting women and two-wheelers.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kerjiwal has said the idea is to encourage people to use public transport more and to cope with the increased numbers, the government will be running 3,000 additional buses.
Schools have been ordered to remain shut until 15 January so that their buses could be used as public transport.
Car-pooling is being encouraged and the web-based taxi service Uber and radio-taxi service Meru have also launched pooling facilities.
Thousands of traffic policemen will be deployed to catch the violators and the offenders will have to pay a fine of 2,000 rupees ($30; £20) - rather steep by Indian standards where traffic offenders generally get away with a fine of 100 rupees to 400 rupees.
In addition, Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has roped in more than 7,500 volunteers - they will man nearly 200 traffic signals, carrying placards to encourage people to follow the scheme. They will tell the offenders "politely that they should follow the law and give them a flower and ask them to go home".
Mixed.
The chief justice of India and the US embassy - though on the list of exemptions - have said they would carpool and follow the odd-even formula.
Many residents, sick of breathing the toxic air, have expressed their support and said they would join in to make the scheme a success.
Many others, however, are complaining about the inconvenience they would face getting to work - they point out the inadequate public transport infrastructure and poor last-mile connectivity.
The Metro and buses are already bursting at the seams and with millions more taking to public transport, overcrowding will get worse, they say.
A few months ago, Delhi introduced a "car-free day" on the 22nd of every month - on that day, cars are banned from one city district for a few hours and authorities say the air quality monitoring has shown a plunge in pollution levels in the area after the exercise.
They say they are confident that the odd-even formula, along with the other measures, will make a difference.
Critics, however, say it's too little because of the long list of exemptions.
The environmental group, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), has welcomed the "emergency action to reduce vehicle numbers on the road" but questioned the absurdity of exempting two-wheelers, which account for more than 30% of air pollutants generated by the transport sector in Delhi, and women drivers.
Also, Delhi'ites are notorious for not following traffic regulations and there is talk already of how people will get around the ban with forged "sliding number plates" to fit the odd-even formula, how men might start dressing in drag to evade detection, how many may pretend to be sick and how many would rush to buy a second car.
Car rationing has been tried in many countries around the world.
In 1989, Mexico's capital city introduced "hoy no circula" - roughly translating as "today, (your car) does not circulate".
Since then, similar restrictions have been tried in the Colombian capital Bogota, the Chilean capital Santiago, Brazil's largest city Sao Paulo, the French capital Paris and the Chinese capital Beijing.
Beijing's odd-even formula imposed ahead of the 2008 Olympics produced its best air quality in a decade - with a Chinese government study claiming that vehicle emissions reduced by 40%.
Indian authorities say they are hopeful of similar results.
In recent years though, Beijing's pollution levels have worsened again - a warning to authorities in Delhi that the measures will have to be sustained in the long run.
The Delhi chief minister has said if the policy causes too much inconvenience to the city residents, they will scrap it.
For the next fortnight though, all eyes will be on Delhi - the WHO survey of global cities last year said that besides Delhi, 13 of the most polluted 20 cities in the world were in India.
If the experiment succeeds in cleaning up Delhi's air, other cities may also be willing to try out the odd-even formula.
One patient is from the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area while the second is from Lanarkshire.
Both are receiving hospital treatment in Glasgow and are in serious conditions.
It takes the total number of cases currently in Glasgow hospitals to four. The source of those infections is contaminated heroin.
NHS Forth Valley is also treating a confirmed case in one of its hospitals.
Dr Catriona Milosevic, consultant in public heath medicine at NHSGGC, said: "I urge all drug injecting heroin users to be extremely alert and to seek urgent medical attention from accident and emergency if they experience any early symptoms such as blurred or double vision, difficulty in swallowing and speaking and/or inflammation at the injection site.
"It is important for injecting drug users to engage with the wide range of services we offer designed to help them tackle their addictions, including help from pharmacies and drug services.
"However for those who continue to inject it is extremely important that they seek urgent medical help if they show these early symptoms."
She added: "Heroin users should avoid injecting heroin into their muscles. Injecting heroin into a vein or smoking can reduce the risk of botulism, although not using heroin at all is by far the best course of action."
The health board said Police Scotland was aware of the new cases and inquiries were continuing.
Botulism is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which attacks the nervous system.
John Murphy, 52, failed to arrive at work after leaving his home in the Dennistoun area at 07:00 on 12 May.
At a police news conference, his son, also called John, said: "Our family is not the same without him and we just want him to come home."
Mr Murphy is about 5ft 8in tall, of medium build, with short brown hair, which is turning grey.
He is usually clean shaven and on the day he went missing was believed to have been wearing a cream polo shirt, black cargo trousers, black work boots and a black fleece jacket.
After leaving his home in Craigpark Drive, Mr Murphy had headed towards Duke Street to catch a bus to work.
At the news conference, also attended by Mr Murphy's wife Patricia and sister Sharon McNab, Mr Murphy jnr said: "My dad is a good man, a quiet guy, likes his football and has had his season ticket for 20 years
"It's been horrible, we don't know anything short of him coming out of a shop. You think it'll never happen to you."
He added: "The support we have had has been unbelievable and I'd like to thank everyone for all their support, knowing there are still people out there looking for him means a lot."
Police officers have been speaking to people in and around the Duke Street area in the past week in the hope of gaining new information.
A dedicated email address, [email protected], has been set up to encourage members of the public to report possible sightings.
More than 100 sightings have been reported and followed up so far.
Ch Insp David Pettigrew said: "John's family is understandably upset and distraught at not having heard from him over such a lengthy period.
"They just want to know he is safe and well. He is close to his family and it's completely out-of-character for him not to be in contact with them.
"Despite the passage of time, we continue to have a dedicated team of officers working on this inquiry and I would also like to remind members of the public that the search for John goes on and if they have any information or knowledge, then please do get in touch with us."

The Bank of England signalled last week that interest rates may rise this year.
It came amid concern London's property market is overheating, with prices increasing far faster than elsewhere.
But the Fraser of Allander Institute said it would be "inappropriate" to dampen the rest of the UK's recovery for a "local issue centred on London".
In its final economic commentary before September's independence referendum, the institute said the Scottish economy was now enjoying a strong recovery, with employment and productivity up and strong growth forecast in production and manufacturing.
The institute, which is based at the University of Strathclyde, revised its forecast for Scottish GDP growth in 2014 to 2.5%, up from its March forecast of 2.3%.
It said the rise in its 2014 forecast was a result of the generally better than expected improvement in performance, optimism in business surveys and an improved outlook, especially for investment.
But the economists also identified a number of risks which they said threatened the sustainability of the recovery, and which resulted in the institute lowering its 2015 forecast marginally from 2.3% to 2.2%.
These included:
Of the four risks, the institute said it was most concerned about the impact of the London property market.
The Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday that property prices in London are rising at an annual rate of 18.7% compared with 9.9% across the UK as a whole. In Scotland, the figure was 4.8%.
The Bank of England's governor, Mark Carney, has signalled that he may raise interest rates later this year from their current record low of 0.5% if it was thought necessary to cool the housing market.
There are concerns that when interest rates rise, many homeowners could struggle with their mortgage repayments, although Mr Carney stressed any increases would be "small and gradual".
Brian Ashcroft, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Strathclyde, said: "The Grangemouth dispute which shut down the refinery plant last October lowered Scottish GDP growth in the final quarter of last year and masked the strength of the recovery, while the recovery in the Scottish and UK labour markets is almost unprecedented.
"However, we are concerned that the risks to the recovery have widened and deepened. Household spending is too reliant on further borrowing as real wages have fallen, net exports continue to contribute little to growth and business investment is only just beginning to pick up.
"But it is the boom in the London housing market that causes us most concern. We believe the Bank of England must avoid raising interest rates on that account.
"With Scottish house prices hardly rising at all, it is inappropriate for the recovery to be dampened across the UK for what is clearly a local or regional issue centred on London."
The Fraser of Allander Institute said its 2016 GDP forecast of growth of 2.4% reflected a "reasonably optimistic view" that the risks would be overcome.
But if they are not, it said growth could be as low as 1% in 2016.
One bright spot for the Scottish economy was the evidence that real Scottish wage growth appeared to have become positive in 2013 while UK real wage growth has remained negative for the past three years.
Prof Ashcroft added: "This may be due to a faster growth in labour productivity in Scotland. If so, the prospects for Scottish household spending might be a little rosier than in the UK."
Work to recover the bodies has been halted because contractors have reached a 50m (164 ft) "exclusion zone".
Site owner RWE Npower said work cannot continue until the rest of the building is demolished.
Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion said it was "one blow after another" for the men's families.
Four workers died when the plant collapsed on 23 February.
The company said it understood the news would be "deeply distressing" for their families.
The firm said it would use a demolition technique that would allow the standing remnants to fall away from the existing pile of debris.
Ms Champion, MP for Rotherham where two of the men lived, has been campaigning on behalf of the families.
She said the latest delay to the recovery work was a "national scandal" and warned there would be other such disasters in future and "the slow progress to recovering bodies can't happen again".
"For three months they have been trying to hang on to hope, now we just hope they will ever be found at all," she added.
RWE Npower added: "Our absolute priority is to recover their loved ones as quickly and as safely as possible.
"The remainder of the structure is currently considered unstable. Sadly, this means that, until the remaining standing structure can be safely brought down, we have restricted access to the recovery area."
The firm has announced plans to bring the rest of the building down by a controlled explosive demolition.
The bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, have not yet been found following the collapse of the boiler house.
Steve Hall, Mr Cresswell's son-in-law, has objected to the use of explosives at the site and said: "We want the men back in one piece, not many pieces."
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, has been recovered from the site.
The decommissioned Didcot A plant closed in 2013 and demolition work was taking place when it collapsed.
The cause is being investigated jointly by police and The Health and Safety Executive.
The claim has kept Andrey Melnichenko's Sailing Yacht A stuck in Gibraltar, a British territory, since Wednesday.
His spokesman voiced confidence that the order would be lifted soon.
The Bermuda-registered vessel, built by Nobiskrug, left the Kiel shipyard in northern Germany two weeks ago.
It is 143m (469ft) long and has three masts, the main one 100m high.
The superyacht, boasting a gross tonnage of 12,600, is reported to have cost at least €400m. Nobiskrug says it has an underwater observation pod, hybrid diesel-electric propulsion and "state-of-the-art" navigation systems. It was designed by Philippe Starck.
According to documents seen by Germany's NDR news, Nobiskrug is demanding an outstanding payment of €9.8m, as well as €5.5m for subcontractors and interest charges. Valla Yachts Ltd, a Bermuda company, is the yacht's registered owner.
A top Gibraltar court official, Admiralty Marshal Liam Yeats, told the BBC on Monday: "The vessel is under arrest and is currently at anchor in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters."
A spokesman for Mr Melnichenko described it as "a technical problem".
He told the BBC: "We are confident that the yacht will be handed over to the owner's project team in the coming days and this unfortunate episode will be over."
Mr Melnichenko, an industrialist with big stakes in Russia's fertiliser, coal and energy sectors, has a $13.2bn fortune, business website Forbes reports.

Mr Melnichenko also owns a 5,500-tonne superyacht called Motor Yacht A, which is reportedly up for sale. It was built by Germany's Blohm & Voss shipyard and launched in 2008.
It is 119m long - smaller than Sailing Yacht A - and was also designed by Philippe Starck. In September 2016 it moored alongside the old British light cruiser HMS Belfast on the River Thames, in central London.
What happens when a ship is arrested?
The Gibraltar Port Authority says ship arrests happen when "banks and creditors seek recompense from shipowners who find themselves unable to pay up on mortgages or loans".
"Most arrested ships are sold in a sealed-bids auction within six to eight weeks, once the claim has been proved and judgment given."
In a statement on its website, it says "we put 'ship keepers' on board - two security guards to protect the vessel and its contents.
"We provide the crew with everything, from bunkers (fuel storage compartments) so they can keep the generators going, to provisions of food and water."
A launch is also arranged "so that the crew, who would otherwise be stuck onboard, can have some shore leave".
Martyn Hett was one of 22 people killed by a bomb at the Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert on Monday.
The 29 year old from Stockport, Greater Manchester, had been due to leave on a "trip of a lifetime" to America two days after the gig.
His mother Figen Murray said her son was "an experience. He was an icon".
Mrs Murray said: "I have not been crying and sobbing and sort of breaking down. It will hit me at some point but, right this minute, I don't feel the need to be upset and cry.
"When I think of Martyn all I can think of is smiling because I have so many fond and happy memories.
"Martyn was an experience. He was an icon."
Mr Hett's father Paul Hett said his son was "inspirational" and an "extrovert".
He said: "Martyn always had to be the centre of attention, the centre attraction in everything.
"The crumb of comfort I take from this is he probably did more in 29 years than most people do in a lifetime."
A vigil is due to be held for Mr Hett on Sunday between 19:00 and 21:00 BST in Heaton Moor Park and everyone was welcome to attend, his partner Russell Hayward said.
Mrs Murray said her son was at the concert with friends and his "downfall" was probably going to the toilet towards the end of the concert.
She said: "I hear from his friends he was Snapchatting all the evening during the concert, singing, he was just having fun.
"He loved being there."
She said her son was a big fan of female musicians because, like them, he was "a diva".
Mr Hett's stepfather Stuart Murray said Martyn's visits were always "an occasion".
Both said Mr Hett would rather have died than survive with a serious injury.
His mother said: "He just wanted to be fabulous all the time."
Mr Murray said Mr Hett "never wanted to get to 30" or "grow old and wrinkled" and had planned his own funeral, complete with white horses.
He had been due to fly to the USA on Wednesday for a two-month "trip of a lifetime" for which he had been saving for two years.
Mrs Murray said he was also planning to buy his flat and had been offered a big promotion at work.
When asked what she thought of the bomber, Salman Abedi, Mrs Murray said: "I have no feelings of hate or anger at all because I don't think this person deserves any of those emotions.
"I'm staying with my positivity for Martyn."
Mr Murray said: "I feel sad for them that they wasted their life for nothing.
"Martyn's life is not wasted, he did so much with it."
Mr Hett said more needs to be done to understand the roots of extremism.
He said Abedi was "a Mancunian" and it has to be discovered how he could be "turned into a killing machine".
He said: "It's not so much anger, it's more something needs to change because this will happen again and again, you can't stop this happening, it is impossible unless something changes to stop it at the root cause."
Mrs Murray said she knew Mr Hett was dead when she was woken by her daughter shortly after midnight to be told he was missing.
She said: "I just felt his energy wasn't there anymore."
Mr Murray said: "My first reaction was there are 20,000 people in the stadium, the chances he is involved are very small, you just think don't worry but Figen had a mother's instinct."
The couple said they had also held a farewell party for him on Friday ahead of his trip to America.
Mr Murray said: "We have said goodbye to him, it makes it easier that we parted on wonderful terms."
Mrs Murray said: "In a way he has said goodbye to everybody he loves and cares about."
Scotland's makar Jackie Kay, comedian Alexei Sayle and Charlatans singer Tim Burgess are also in the line-up.
Organisers have said the festival would "explore the power of the mind to imagine a better world".
The EIBF runs from 13 August to 29 August.
More than 800 writers, poets, illustrators, politicians, journalists, historians, scientists, philosophers and playwrights from 55 countries are to take part in the 17-day event at Charlotte Square Gardens.
Director Nick Barley described it as a festival "bursting at the seams with big ideas".
The Good Wife actor Alan Cumming will preview his book You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams, a collection of anecdotes and photographs from the actor's time in Hollywood.
Comedian Sayle will read from his second memoir, Thatcher Stole My Trousers, in which he recounts his experiences with The Young Ones and The Comic Strip Presents…
Tim Burgess will lift the lid on life with The Charlatans and their experiences at the heart of the 1990s 'Madchester' scene. He will be joined by crime writer and fellow music fan Ian Rankin to discuss their passion for vinyl.
In the non-fiction category, the festival will feature appearances by musicians Wilko Johnson and Brix Smith Start, as well as cyclists Chris Boardman and David Millar.
Politics and current affairs continue to play a key part in the programme.
Gordon Brown is set to address globalisation while the new makar (Scotland's national poet) Jackie Kay is to be interviewed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Poetry further makes an impression on the programme with appearances from the likes of UK poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Billy Bragg and Luke Wright.
BBC South East has revealed Medway Maritime Hospital, in Gillingham, treated 855 patients in corridors in June.
Board papers said it was "the lowest number this year".
The Medway NHS report said all patients treated in the corridor "met acceptable clinical criteria", following snapshot audits through the day and night.
Andrew Stradling, clinical director of Medway's emergency department, said staff talked to patients before they were treated in corridors.
He said: "We talk to them before we put them in any overflow area, so they understand why they're in that area and the fact that it is safe.
"The numbers - the figures of 800 to 900 in a month - that sounds like a huge figure, but that includes everyone even if they just spend 10 or 15 minutes in that area."
He said: "We're very clear that we capture those numbers so we know exactly how bad the situation is."
The hospital has been in special measures for three years.
Kelly Tolhurst, Conservative MP for Rochester and Strood, said: "We know Medway has improved slightly. More people are being seen within four hours.
"While there's no excuse for people to be treated in the corridors, actually that process is being managed by the Medway hospital in a way to try and protect patient safety."
She said: "It's not acceptable long term. But that's one of the reasons why they put in the proposal for the redevelopment of the A&E department."
She said the £20m redevelopment would see 11 beds increase to 41 beds - one of which will be used to cope with extra demand.
Analysis by Mark Norman, BBC South East health correspondent
Is Medway the only hospital to treat patients in corridors? Of course not. Sometimes it's called a "cohort" area or an "overflow" area.
All hospital A&E departments are seeing a steady increase in the number of patients they see.
No-one has an answer as to how hospitals deal with the increase.
At Medway, they hope the £20m improvements will ease the situation. But that will take time to come on stream.
Meanwhile some patients will continue to find themselves being cared for and treated in corridors and overflow areas.
The outage affects southern Somalia, and was caused by damage to an undersea fibre-optic cable more than two weeks ago.
Somali Post and Telecommunications Minister Abdi Anshur Hassan has called the incident a "major disaster", costing Somalia "more than $130m".
He said the cable was being fixed and service will be restored "this week".

Somalia's internet 'culture shock'
After more than 20 years of conflict, internet usage is low in Somalia, with just 1.6% of the population online in 2014, according to estimates by the International Telecommunication Union.
That same year, 3G mobile phone services in southern Somalia were cut off because of a threat from al-Shabab Islamist militants and the ban has stayed in place ever since.
Satellite internet is available, but users complain that it is costly and slow.
Internet cafes have therefore proved popular in towns and cities, as they provide more reliable connectivity.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby spoke about finding God in a world which "feels more awash with fear".
His sentiment was echoed by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Britain's most senior Catholic, at his midnight Mass.
In his homily at Westminster Cathedral he said there was "much anxiety about the state of the world".
Mr Welby delivered his sermon during a Eucharist service at Canterbury Cathedral on Christmas Day.
In the sermon, he told the congregation that the end of 2016 "finds us all in a different kind of world, one less predictable and certain, which feels more awash with fear and division".
He quoted Bank of England governor Mark Carney who said globalisation had for many brought "uncertainty" and "low wages, insecure employment, stateless corporation and striking inequalities".
He said: "That uncertainty of our world, our feelings tells us that our values are in the wrong place.
"Economic progress, technological progress, communication progress hasn't resulted in economic justice. It hasn't delivered glory for us."

The traditional sound of Once in Royal David's City heralded the start of a solemn Midnight Mass at Westminster Cathedral.
Cardinal Vincent Nichol began his sermon by quoting the poet WB Yeats - referring to a turbulent year.
"Uncertainty on many levels in this country and in those major partnerships and neighbours that we have… so with Europe, America, the Middle East. It's an unsettling time," he said.
He argued the answer was neither materialism nor the pursuit of selfish interest but rather a renewed focus on the life of Christ.
"The birth of Jesus is a recorded fact, marked in time, as we heard in the Gospel," Cardinal Nichols said. "The life he holds out for us is not a theory or a philosophy or an ideal."
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, also addressed the uncertainty that has marked global politics, saying that anxiety about the future is a clear sign that we have placed our trust in the wrong things.
The archbishop drew on his personal experiences of meeting "persecuted believers" who, he says, have "seen the glory of God, a glory that chases away the fear of terror".
He added: "How then do we find glory? The only place and person who can bring glory to us is the child of Bethlehem who became the victim on the cross."
In a similar vein, Cardinal Nichols spoke at midnight Mass of a "deep and widening sense of uncertainty" felt by many people.
"Yes, we are anxious of the current instability in economic prospects and in the effectiveness of political structures," he said.
"But here we come to a deeper centre, to Bethlehem, to Him who shows us the foundations on which we must build, the priorities we must seek."
He urged Catholics to show compassion to "the homeless, the refugee, the victim of violence and human trafficking", and in particular, older people, who were too often left alone without human contact.
"Meeting this challenge requires a recognition that good care for the elderly and vulnerable is not only important but nothing less than a defining characteristic of our society," he added.
The Church of England's second most senior figure, Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu, also urged those worried about Brexit and the US presidential election to look to God.
Writing for the Yorkshire Post, he said: "In the midst of uncertainty and personal danger, I can testify to the fact that God will never leave us or forsake us. God will always show us a way."
Meanwhile, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland the Right Reverend Dr Russell Barr discussed the contrasts of Christmas, and how the promise of Christmas cheer was juxtaposed with "unspeakable human suffering in war-torn Aleppo or Yemen or South Sudan".
His comments came after it emerged Norway blacklisted China Railway Group.
One of the group's subsidiaries has signed an agreement with Scottish ministers which both sides hope would lead to £10bn in investment.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stressed that any proposed investment would be fully scrutinised.
Labour and the Conservatives have also expressed concern.
On 21 March, Ms Sturgeon and a Chinese consortium signed a "memorandum of understanding" to explore an investment agreement potentially worth £10bn - although details of the move have only just emerged.
One of the signatories was investment group SinoFortone, while the other was China Railway No. 3 Engineering Group, listed as a subsidiary of China Railway Group Limited by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products.
In 2014, the ethics council of the Norwegian pension fund warned there was an "unacceptable risk" that China Railway Group was involved in "gross corruption".
It added there was a "high degree of probability" the company "paid bribes to government officials for contracts regarding construction of railways and housing projects" in China.
Mr Rennie said: "I'm very worried about it because the Norwegian oil fund has made a decision, an assessment on one of the companies involved in the memorandum of understanding.
"They don't think they're a company worth investing in or being associated with.
"I don't understand how the Scottish government could have done their appropriate due diligence and come to a different conclusion."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, added: "I think the worrying thing for people out there is that we're having a drip of information on this China deal and it's all coming from China.
"Why don't we know about this from the Scottish end? What is it that the Scottish government didn't want to tell us?
"There are huge questions still for the Scottish government to answer."
Kezia Dugdale, the Scottish Labour leader, said: "Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP government didn't want us to know they'd signed a £10bn deal with China for potential investment in Scottish public services, and we need to know the details of this deal."
However Ms Sturgeon, who is leader of the SNP, said: "There is no agreement from China Railway to invest in any projects in Scotland.
"What we have is a memorandum of understanding to explore opportunities.
"If there is in the future any proposal for an actual investment, then full due diligence would be done in the normal way by the Scottish government and it would be subject to the full scrutiny of the Scottish Parliament."
Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau said the government will put forward a passenger rights law this spring.
It is expected to include compensation rules for those denied boarding due to factors within the carrier's control.
Mr Garneau announced the plan last year, but restated it as footage of a US passenger being forcibly removed from a flight made global headlines.
The incident on Sunday evening's flight from Chicago to Louisville has been a public relations disaster for United Airlines.
A spokesman for Mr Garneau said he could not get into the specifics of the Air Travellers Passenger Rights Regime legislation before it is introduced to Parliament.
But in a November 2016 speech to Montreal's Chamber of Commerce, Mr Garneau said Canadian travellers report a sense of frustration at both the cost of air travel and confusion about their rights when flight problems arise.
The measure would "ensure that Canadians' rights are protected by rules that are both fair and clear", he said.
In 2008, Canada introduced Flight Rights Canada, a voluntary code of conduct for airlines around passenger rights related to tarmac delays, flight cancellations and overbooking.
Under that code, if a plane is overbooked or cancelled, a carrier must either find the passenger a seat with another flight, buy the passenger a seat on another carrier with whom it has an agreement, or refund the unused portion of the ticket.
The Canadian Transportation Agency receives an average of about 50 complaints a year from passengers saying they were denied boarding.
Ambarish Chandra, with the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, says that airlines bumping passengers is an "unavoidable" fact of air travel.
"I don't think the goal of legislation should be to eliminate bumping," he said, noting that having full flights helps keep ticket costs in check.
"But legislation does need to protect passengers and make very clear what passengers rights are in various situations."
Mr Garneau expects the rights legislation to be in place by 2018.

The work will include provision for longer trains and capacity for the station to handle increased passenger numbers.
Scottish ministers have signed a Transport and Works Scotland (Taws) order to allow the "major facelift" to go ahead.
Work at the station will cost more than £100m and should be completed by 2019.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "The Scottish government is delivering the most ambitious programme of rail investment ever seen in Scotland, committing over £5bn across the current funding period.
"Approval of this Taws Order allows Network Rail to undertake significant enhancements to Glasgow Queen Street Station.
"This continued investment in our key rail hubs will not only accommodate longer trains and the future growth in passenger numbers, it will also improve the overall service experience."
He added: "Coupled with new longer, faster, greener Class 385 trains coming later this year and a full fleet refurbishment, we are doing what we can now to deliver a Scottish rail industry for the future, one which encourages even more people opt to get out their cars and onto trains."
Queen Street handles 20 million passengers a year.
Network Rail said the revamp was needed to meet predicted growth to 28 million passengers by 2030.
There will be a number of major new developments at the station and surrounding areas, including an extension of the east side of the building into the Buchanan Galleries shopping centre.
The current entrance will also be replaced with a 500 sq m glass facade.
The project is part of the Scottish government's £650m Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP), which aims to reduce journey times and increase capacity on Scotland's main rail routes.
Raja Ali was killed after the car he was in with two friends was rammed then blocked in at the side by two vehicles in Dagenham on 25 September 2016.
The Old Bailey heard the attackers started to smash the car with a hammer and a baseball bat, then chased the 33-year-old and stabbed him.
Five men all deny murder.
Prosecutor Simon Denison QC said the defendants lured Mr Ali to the road to "put him out of business".
"He and two friends sat in his car waiting for what they thought was to be a drugs deal," he said.
The jury heard a Mitsubishi Shogun 4x4 then rammed into Mr Ali's car, shunting it forward, while a red Renault Megane pulled up alongside and the occupants got out armed with weapons.
Mr Ali and two other men ran away but they were chased and the 33-year-old was stabbed to death in Braintree Road.
Jurors were told Abubakar Bana, 26, from east London, allegedly organised the attack and drove the Mitsubishi while his passenger Mussa Jalo, 21, of Dagenham, led the attack.
The prosecution said Daniel Welsh, 34, of Dagenham, had set-up Mr Ali.
Zakar Yunas, 22, and Jordan Archambie, 20, both of east London, allegedly took part in chasing and attacking the victim.
Mr Bana, Mr Jalo and Mr Archambie have admitted violent disorder but their co-defendants have denied the same charge.
Mr Denison said another two men fled to France to evade justice.
The trial continues.
She said she would "go all out" to win Rhondda, but also seek to be on Plaid's regional list for South Wales Central, as recent rule changes allow.
Candidates are no longer banned from standing in both types of seat.
It means that if Ms Wood fails to win Rhondda she is still likely to be elected via the regional list.
Labour's Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews, who currently holds the constituency seat, said he would only stand in Rhondda.
Meanwhile, another Labour AM, Alun Davies, called Ms Wood's decision "disappointing".
On a visit to the Toyota plant in Flintshire on Thursday, Ms Wood told BBC Wales: "It's something I said quite some time ago actually, it's not news.
"I intend to stand in the Rhondda, where I live, and I'll be going all out to win the first-past-the-post seat there.
"But since the rules have now changed, I will be submitting my name for the regional list as well and I would encourage other politicians to do the same."
She accused Labour politicians of "making mischief", pointing out that Mr Andrew himself stood as a dual candidate in 2003.
In 2014, Ms Wood said she would "probably" stand as a regional and a constituency candidate if able to do so.
Of the 60 assembly members, 40 represent constituency seats and 20 are elected from five regional lists.
Regional AMs are elected via lists of candidates submitted by political parties, in a system designed to make the overall number of AMs elected from each party more closely match their level of support from voters.
If a politician wins a constituency seat, they are removed from the regional list during the counting process.
At the 2007 and 2011 assembly elections, candidates were barred from standing for both constituencies and regional seats, following criticism that it was an "insurance policy" allowing politicians rejected by the voters in an individual constituency to become regional AMs.
In the 2011 assembly election, Ms Wood was top of Plaid Cymru's list of candidates for the South Wales Central region.
Hayley Pointon, 30, was shot at a house in Hinckley, Leicestershire, as she visited her on-off boyfriend Nigel Barwell, in February 2013.
Aaron Power, 25 and Aaron Newman, 24, both of Coventry, had blamed each other for the killing.
The pair were ordered to serve a minimum of 31 years each for murdering Ms Pointon, of Coventry.
The eight-week trial at Leicester Crown Court heard that Mr Barwell was the intended target for the shooting.
Ms Pointon had been leaving the property when shots were fired, and died from a single gunshot wound.
The judge, Mr Justice King, said: "The scars you have inflicted on each family member will be long-lasting.
"This was in truth a calculated, cold-blooded murder. This was a planned killing and each of you were part of that plan.
"It may never be known who fired the shot but what is sure is each of you were involved in the killing and each had an intention to kill."
Hayley's mother, Kerry Pointon, said the family would try to rebuild their "shattered lives".
She said: "She can never be replaced in our lives and therefore we feel that there can never be any true justice for Hayley and her children."
A third man, Dylan Whitty, 30, from Coventry, was found guilty of assisting an offender. He is due to be sentenced on 8 September.
Three other men were cleared of the same charge.
In the training, parents watched films of themselves playing with their child while a therapist gave precise tips for helping their child communicate.
"What is remarkable is the pay-off," said Louisa Harrison, who has seen a huge improvement in her son Frank.
Experts said the results, published in the Lancet, were "hugely cheering".
The study focused on children with severe autism, who were often unable to talk to their parents.
For Louisa's son Frank, lamp-posts were a marker of his progress using the method.
Louisa, from Cheshire, said: "He loves watching lamp-posts come on in our street, so autumn is a very exciting time for us.
"Several years ago it was a largely silent interaction, but now he will be so chatty, 'Mummy, Mummy, look they've gone on in a different order.'
"If you'd told me four years ago he'd come out with a sentence like that then I'd be crying," Louisa added.
The researchers' idea was simple: improve mum's and dad's parenting to improve the social skills of the child.
Dr Catherine Aldred, a consultant speech and language therapist with Stockport NHS Trust, stressed it was not about blaming the parents.
"We're taking the parent's interaction with the child and taking it to a 'super' level, these children need more than 'good enough', they need something exceptional," she said.
Exceptional is hard work. Parents were recorded with their child, who might have been sitting, playing alone.
But mum and dad were then shown a highlights package of the easily-missed moments when the autistic child subtly moved to play with their parents.
Communication specialists then worked with the parents to give them the skills to get the most out of these brief moments.
In small steps, it eventually moved on to getting the child to speak more.
Louisa told the BBC: "You notice things you wouldn't notice in real time.
"Things like waiting, giving Frank plenty of time to communicate and commenting rather than questioning him, which puts on pressure to respond.
"You feel like you're being really skilled-up by these people who trust your judgement about what makes your child tick," she added.
The trial with 152 families started shortly after the children were diagnosed around the age of three.
Normally their symptoms would get worse with age.
In the half of the families given the usual therapies, 50% were severely autistic at the beginning and that percentage predictably increased to 63% after six years.
But the opposite happened in the families given the intensive training.
Among these, 55% of the children were severely autistic at the beginning and 46% after six years.
The report's lead author, Prof Jonathan Green from the University of Manchester, said the results were "extraordinary".
He added: "This is not a 'cure', in the sense that the children who demonstrated improvements will still show remaining symptoms".
But he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the research suggested working with parents could lead to long-term improvements.
He said: "It suggests that what the parents have been able to embed into the family has sustained even after the end of the therapy which is really encouraging."
Adumea, whose son Kofi, 12, took part in the research, told the BBC: "What's so powerful about this therapy is the fact that it extends beyond the hour you spend within the therapist's office, because it carries on into the home.
"And as Professor Green said, it embeds into family life and the way in which you communicate with your children and from what you learn from that, you can then tell schools: 'This is working, try this'."
One in 100 people develops some degree of autism, but there is no drug treatment and families often desperately turn to quack therapies.
Dr James Cusack, the director of science at the charity Autistica, said: "Parents commonly tell us that they fight for a diagnosis, but when they finally get it, the cupboard is bare, with little information or tailored support available to them.
"Too often, parents fall victim to the false claims of charlatans who prey on desperate families.
"These results look promising for the many thousands of parents who want to find early interventions for their children based on solid science," he added.
Dr Max Davie, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "[This] is a hugely cheering message for families."

The tapestries, from Doddington Hall, near Lincoln, date back to 1620, and show a cobbler and bagpiper.
They were taken down in 2013 and sent for specialist cleaning before being restitched at the castle.
The works, described as "mediocre", are said to be rare because most similar pieces have been lost over time.
Claire Birch, Doddington Hall's owner, said it had been a major task to clean and restore them, with "hours and hours of painstaking stitching".
She said the Flemish tapestries were nailed to the walls of the hall's Holly and Yellow rooms in the 1760s by the then owner Sir John Delaval, but had deteriorated over the years.
More than 1,600 nails, used to hold the tapestries in place, were removed by conservation students from local universities before the artwork was sent to Belgium for specialist cleaning.
They were then re-stitched by a team at Lincoln Castle.
Mrs Birch said: "Unfortunately, over the years, with sunlight and coal dust all the fibres deteriorated."
"The actual particles of coal dust were eating into the fibres - the dirt was unbelievable - there were just bags of it that came out."
A bat skeleton was also found behind one of the tapestries.
She added: "They are considered special because they are rare examples of mediocre quality tapestries from the period.
"It sounds crazy, but the really fine tapestries were looked after much better and there are good examples of them all around."
"These are much rarer because people didn't look after them."
Visitors will be able to see the artwork in place when the hall reopens on Easter Sunday.
Forest officials in Gujarat state will test the lions' prints and excrement in an attempt to identify the killer.
The "guilty lion" will be kept in a zoo for life while the others will be released back into the Gir sanctuary, the officials told BBC Hindi.
Six attacks on humans have been reported recently near the sanctuary, the only habitat of the Asiatic lion.
Gujarat's top forest official, JA Khan, said that the lions had been "arrested" over the past two months and were now being held in separate cages while tests were carried out.
"We think we have pinpointed the guilty lion, but we are still awaiting the results of nine more animals," he said.
Wildlife expert Ruchi Dave told the BBC that the "tests" involved studying the pug marks and faecal matter of the lions.
"The officials are also studying the animals' behaviour. Man eating lions usually get aggressive at the sight of a human being," she said.
Another wildlife expert Revtubha Raizada said the man-eating lion would be caged for the rest of its life, as it was too unsafe to release it back into the wild.
Some experts feel that the thriving lion population in Gir forest is to blame for the "unusual" behaviour by the lions.
Govind Patel, the former chief wildlife warden of Gujarat, told the Indian Express newspaper that Gir could accommodate only 270 lions, forcing some prides to settle outside the boundaries of the sanctuary.
India's Supreme Court has ruled that Gujarat needed to relocate some of its lions to other states to avoid the possibility of disease or other disaster wiping out the entire population.
However the state has expressed reluctance and has not yet complied with the order.
National Security Adviser HR McMaster said backchannel communications between different governments was normal.
Economic adviser Gary Cohn said: "We're not going to comment on Jared."
Mr Kushner is said to be under scrutiny as part of the FBI inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Reports in the US say investigators believe he has relevant information, but he is not necessarily suspected of a crime.
On Friday, the Washington Post and New York Times reported that Mr Kushner had wanted to use Russian facilities to avoid US interception of discussions with Moscow.
Lt Gen McMaster refused to comment on the specific reports against Mr Kushner, but said that he would not be concerned if a government official set up a secret line with Moscow.
"We have backchannel communications with any number of individual [countries]... what that allows you to do is communicate in a discreet manner."
"I would not be concerned about it."
Mr Kushner reportedly took part in discussions about a backchannel with Russia's ambassador to the US, Sergei Kislyak, in December.
At the time, Mr Kushner was a private citizen, but working in Mr Trump's transition team.
While US government departments do set up secure lines with foreign leaders, it is unusual for a transition team to do so, Washington Post reports.
The backchannel would also have been unusual as it would have used Russian hardware at its embassies in the US, the report added.
Mr Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn was said to be present at the meeting.
Mr Flynn was fired in February after misleading the White House about his contact with Mr Kislyak.
Lt Gen McMaster and Mr Cohn, who were accompanying Mr Trump as part of his first foreign trip as president, were asked several times about the reports during a news conference in Italy.
However, Mr Cohn said "we're just not going to comment [on Mr Kushner]".
Mr Trump is on his way back to the US, following a G7 summit and meetings with EU, Nato and Middle Eastern leaders.
The warning comes as organisations set up to prevent wildlife crime begin a new awareness campaign.
Organisers say many native NI species such as deer, salmon and birds of prey are subject to poaching and cruelty.
But uprooting even common wildflowers without the landowner's permission is an offence.
There is a list of 70 protected wildflowers which it is an offence to interfere with in any way, including picking or taking their seeds.
Environment minister Mark H Durkan told the launch of the initiative: "We aim to educate people that sometimes their actions inadvertently cause significant harm to wildlife.
"Of course, there are also other elements which involve much more extreme forms of criminality - those who target wildlife inflicting great cruelty for their personal pleasure or those who illegally exploit or target our wildlife for financial gain.
"Our starting point is to drive increased awareness of what wildlife crime is and why and encouraging them to report it or seek advice, so that we keep this as a priority and work towards dramatically reducing all forms of wildlife crime."
Supt Brian Kee of the Police Service of Northern Ireland said: "Anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour, or suspects a wildlife crime is taking place or has occurred, contact the police service on 101, or in an emergency ring 999.
"The report will be fully investigated and where evidence of a criminal offence is found the offender will be reported to the Public Prosecution Service with a view to a prosecution."
People can also report wildlife crime using the Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111.
The campaign has been organised by the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime in Northern Ireland (PAW NI), which is comprised of statutory and non-government organisations involved in preventing wildlife crime.
The former Rangers and Sunderland boss, 70, announced in March he would be leaving Turkish side Fenerbahce at the end of this season.
Advocaat, who will be assisted by ex-Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit, replaces the sacked Danny Blind.
Blind lost his job after a 2-0 loss to Bulgaria left the Netherlands fourth in their World Cup qualifying group.
The team also failed to reach last summer's European Championships.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed the appointments of Advocaat and Gullit at a news conference on Tuesday.
In his previous spells as national team coach, Advocaat led the Netherlands to the 1994 World Cup quarter-finals and the semi-finals of Euro 2004.
Fenerbahce are third in the Super Lig, eight points behind leaders Besiktas, with four games to go.
Figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request showed the budgets for mental health trusts fell by 2% from 2013/14 to 2014/15.
This compares to a rise of 2.6% in hospital trusts' operating budgets, according to analysis by the Health Foundation think-tank.
The Department of Health said mental health care funding overall was rising.
In the year to April 2016 the budget for mental health trusts was projected to rise just 0.3%.
Of the 53 out of 59 mental health trusts in England which responded to the FOI request, 29 said their budget would be lower this year than last.

1.4% fall in number of nurses working in psychiatric sectors between 2010-11 and 2014-15
The Health and Social Care Bill, which became law in the last parliament, included a demand for parity of esteem - meaning mental and physical health services should be treated equally.
But the BBC's investigation has found that for England's mental health trusts and health boards in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which provide about £12bn worth of mental health care in the UK, funding is not keeping pace - and many are facing cuts.
In Scotland, mental health spending was up just 0.1% last year, and down a projected 0.4% this year. In Wales, spending was down 1.1% in 2014-15 and up a likely 1.2% in 2015/16.
Northern Ireland was the only country to see an increase in both years, with 1% additional spending last year, and 2.6% more this year.
Anita Charlesworth, chief economist at the Health Foundation, a charity striving for better health and health care in the UK, said: "Mental health hasn't increased as a share of NHS funding, despite the fact that there are huge demands on the system, and access to care for mental health still falls way below that for physical health.
"The NHS clearly sees parity of esteem as a key priority and want to prioritise improving mental health. But problems in our hospital sector means that money increasingly is getting sucked in to meet their rising costs, and the NHS is struggling to actually commit resources to fund mental health providers"
A Department of Health spokesman said: "These figures do not show the full picture for mental health spend - councils, third-sector organisations and NHS England all play a role in providing services, and all receive government funding.
"We have made more money available than ever before for mental health, increasing our investment every year since 2010 to a record £11.7bn last year."
What is mental health?
Mood self-assessment: Could I be depressed?
It also argues community schemes like crisis cafes are on the rise, though many campaigners say these simply are not filling the gap in effective care.
The government is set to unveil its mental health taskforce report on Monday, the biggest ever study of mental health services in the England, with a five-year national strategy to improve services.
The Scottish government said extra investment in mental health had been promised.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "Spending on mental health services in Wales is rising. Indeed, we spend more on mental health services than on any other part of the Welsh NHS.
"The Welsh government has also made a significant new investment of £7.65m in child and adolescent mental health services this year - a 17% increase compared to 2013-14."
A spokesman for the Northern Ireland executive said: "In Northern Ireland...there has been increased investment in the development of psychological therapies hubs, which are locally-based groups of GPs and voluntary sector partners, who arrange for bespoke referral to and delivery of talking therapies to patients with low-to-moderate intensity mental health problems."

Ms Evans said she would make the party less "toxic" and aim to occupy the "common sense centre" ground.
Mr Nuttall, like Ms Evans an ex-party chairman, said he was the man to "bring the factions together".
However, interim leader Nigel Farage, speaking about Ms Evans, said: "I won't be voting for her."
The party has been in turmoil since the referendum in June, when the UK voted to leave the EU.
Mr Farage stood down as leader at the start of July saying he had achieved his political ambition. His successor Diane James resigned earlier this month after only 18 days in the job - leading to Mr Farage's return as interim leader.
Last week, Steven Woolfe, who had been one of the front-runners to replace Ms James, quit the party a few days after being involved in an altercation with fellow MEP Mike Hookem.
Ms Evans told the BBC's Andrew Marr show that she hoped to "pour oil on troubled water" after there had been "a bit too much testosterone" in UKIP.
She said focusing on the centre ground meant "not the wishy washy Lib Dem centre" but a party capable of taking votes from both left and right.
She also accused leadership rival Raheem Kassam of seeking to take the party too far to the right and added: "Our 2015 general election manifesto took the best of politics from the left and from the right".
Analysis
By Political Correspondent Alan Soady
Paul Nuttall described himself as the "unity candidate". Yet today's skirmishes show how much UKIP is riven by feuding factions.
This leadership contest is about much more than choosing an individual.
It's about deciding the future of a party which has been dominated for so long by Nigel Farage and focussed for years on getting - and winning - an EU referendum.
While the next leader will want to make sure the government delivers the kind of Brexit UKIP wants, there are longer-term existential questions.
These are: how the party stays relevant, what positions it takes on all sorts of other policy areas, and where it places itself on the political spectrum.
So far, the signs are the battle for the future could be a bloody one.
However, Mr Farage, speaking on ITV's Peston on Sunday, said she would not be receiving his vote, adding: "I don't doubt she has ability, it's just a question of political direction and to kick off her campaign decrying one of the declared candidates is not what we needed."
He also dismissed Ms Evans' views that the party should be in the centre ground, saying: "UKIP is a radical political party that pushes for change and needs to go on being a radical political party."
Mr Kassam responded to Ms Evans' accusation on Twitter, saying: "It is sad that 60 seconds after she launched her campaign on the BBC, Suzanne Evans attacked me and my thousands of supporters as 'far right'."
In a fuller email sent to Ms Evans, he added: "I would hereby request that you cease referring to vast swatches of UKIP as 'far right' and embark upon a positive campaign, structured upon not who you are against, but what you are for."
Speaking to Dermot Murnaghan on Sky News, Mr Kassam also said he wanted to unite the party and added: "I think now, especially after that incident with Steven Woolfe in the European Parliament, we have to say this has gone too far.
"We are all in the same party and if we wish to remain in the same party let's sit down around a table together."
Nominations in the current leadership election close on 31 October, with the eventual winner announced on 28 November.
Mr Nuttall said that he had decided to stand for the leadership after the troubles of the past few months, telling Andrew Neil on the BBC's Sunday Politics: "UKIP needs to come together. At the moment it is looking over the edge of a political cliff and it will either step off or step back. I want to be the candidate who will tell us to come backwards."
Explaining why, when he didn't stand for the leadership earlier in the year, Mr Nuttall said: "I felt that with Brexit that my job and Nigel's job was done and we could hand over to the next generation.
"But that doesn't appear to have been the case and maybe it's time for someone who's an older hand in many ways."
He added: "We need a strong UKIP there in the background to ensure that Brexit means Brexit and I believe that UKIP can become the patriotic face of working people."
Ian Blackford's proposal comes in the wake of plans for a single board to oversee Scotland's enterprise agencies.
HIE supports economic growth in the Northern Isles, Western Isles, Highlands, Moray and Argyll.
A Scottish government spokesman said the body would continue to provide its locally-based support.
Concerns were raised about the future of HIE when a phase one review of the country's enterprise and skills support recommended an over-arching statutory body to co-ordinate the work of Scottish Enterprise and HIE.
MSPs, including Conservative Donald Cameron, Labour's Rhoda Grant and Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott expressed fears of centralisation by government ministers.
Mr Blackford said that while he "fully endorsed" the establishment of one board, he also wanted HIE to have a "management or advisory board" which would "reflect the priorities" of the Highlands and islands area.
The MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber explained to BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "I have spoken to a number of people in the Highlands and islands over the course of the last few weeks and one of the things I have taken time to do is to make sure we can come up with something which gives us the best of both worlds.
"One of the things we all want to do is make sure we strengthen Scotland's economic growth and that is exactly what the government is trying to do.
"What I have come up with, and what I hope has broad support within government, is something that recognises that we have to change but at the same time protects that uniqueness of HIE and the ownership that the Highlands and islands have for that.
"So this is something that will work well and it is one that I know colleagues will happily support as well."
HIE began as the Highlands and Islands Development Board 50 years ago and its current structure was established in 1990.
The CairnGorm Mountain ski resort and its funicular railway are among the assets it manages.
The Scottish government spokesman insisted HIE would continue giving "dedicated support to the local economy".
He added: "Our reforms will protect the unique service that HIE delivers for our Highland and island economies and - as Ian Blackford observes - will enhance the support that is available to businesses, employers and employees across the region."
No-one was injured in the blaze above the M&Co shop in the city's Academy Street.
Emergency services were alerted to the fire at about 22:00 on Wednesday.
Huge plumes of smoke could be seen for miles around. Nine fire vehicles were at the scene including two height appliances.
It took crews three hours to prevent the blaze from spreading to neighbouring shops and bars.
At one point, flames could be seen coming through the roof of the building, which is one of the oldest in the city centre street.
Anderson hit 109 with Dom Joyce contributing 67 as Merrion notched a formidable 252-9 at Castle Avenue.
Waringstown were only able to post 196 in reply with Lee Nelson top-scoring with 48.
Anderson and Joyce put on 108 for the second wicket in Merrion's innings in the game's pivotal partnership.
Joyce and Anderson safely negotiated probing opening spells from former Irish international Phil Eaglestone (3-57) and South African professional Cobus Pienaar (2-39), to build the platform for what would be a match-winning total.
"We were a bit slow at the start but I just knew I had to bat for 50 overs and we'd have a decent score as I would be able to accelerate as the innings went on," said Anderson.
"The margin of the win was more comfortable than I expected but the bowlers did a super job and were backed up by the fielding throughout."
Waringstown's run chase never really got going, getting bogged down for long periods by a Merrion attack which never relinquished their stranglehold on the game.
Skipper Lee Nelson (48) and Greg Thompson (20) threatened briefly with a stand of 52, but with the required run rate steadily increasing, Merrion always held the upper hand.
Fifteen-year-old Max Neville set the tone with a magnificent opening spell, conceding just 12 runs in his seven over spell - as well as taking the crucial wicket of Pienaar - while former Ireland star Dave Langford-Smith crucially dismissed both Nelson and Thompson.

The touchline ban will only take effect if Paatelainen commits a further breach of Scottish FA disciplinary rules before the end of 2016.
United, who are bottom of the Scottish Premiership, host Hamilton on Sunday.
The SFA charge said of Paatelainen: "In that on or around the 91st minute you committed misconduct by shouting and gesticulating at away supporters."
"It is the largest privatisation deal, the largest sale and acquisition in the global oil and gas sector in 2016," President Vladimir Putin said.
The surprise move sees Glencore and Qatar paying $11.3bn for the stake in Rosneft, where BP already owns 19.75%.
Moscow will keep the controlling stake.
The long-planned sale is part of the Russian government's efforts to sell some state assets to help balance the budget amid a two-year recession caused by a drop in global oil prices and Western sanctions.
A deadline for the sale was missed, and speculation grew that Rosneft was struggling to find a buyer.
The deal also marks a turnaround for London-listed Glencore, which had seen a collapse in its share price amid a plan to sell assets and cut its huge debts.
Glencore's shares have rebounded this year. The Qatar Investment Authority is one of the biggest investors in Glencore.
Speaking at a televised meeting with Rosneft chief executive Igor Sechin, Mr Putin noted that the deal follows a rally in global oil prices after Opec's decision to cut production.
Russia, although not a member of Opec, has agreed to cut its output in line with the cartel, and will attend a meeting with its member countries on Saturday to discuss specific details.
Mr Sechin said that Glencore and the Qatari fund will form a consortium and have equal stakes. He added that Rosneft had conducted talks with more than 30 potential bidders before striking the deal.
It had been thought that US and EU sanctions imposed on Russia following the Ukraine conflict would deter huge investment in Russia, although companies were not explicitly prohibited from participating in the Rosneft sale.
The election of Donald Trump as US president has, however, raised speculation of a thaw in relations with Moscow.
Glencore said in a statement that it would finance part of the deal by putting up €300m of its own equity, with the rest financed by banks and by the Qatari sovereign fund. QIA had yet to make a statement.
The commodities trader stands to benefit by gaining access to Rosneft's crude output, while Qatar will further establish itself as a major investor in some of the world's biggest businesses.

More than 70 Torbay roads were to be closed or restricted to comply with new measures introduced after the Shoreham air disaster that killed 11 people.
Torbay Council has now dropped restrictions on 16 roads, saying the parking situation is "flexible".
The restrictions will apply during the three-day air show starting on Friday.
Live updates on this story
About 50,000 people are expected at the show, the first of its kind in Torbay after annual performances by the Red Arrows.
Some residents said the closures were excessive and a money-making ploy by Torbay Council.
The council rejected the claim and said it had to keep roads clear for emergency vehicles, a move prompted by the 2015 Shoreham disaster.
It said "following a review" the restrictions had been lifted.
"The parking situation during the period of the forthcoming Torbay air show is flexible and is being constantly reviewed, with a view to releasing areas of on street parking where felt appropriate," said a spokesman.
"We will monitor the situation throughout Saturday, in the hope that we do not need to reinstate the restrictions for Sunday."
A late drop goal from Tiernan O'Halloran broke the deadlock in a tight contest on 77 minutes.
Craig Ronaldson then hammered over a long range penalty to seal the victory.
Blues had led at half-time 13-7 but at one stage were in front 13-0, with Gareth Anscombe scoring two penalties and converting Nick Williams' try.
Williams' try owed a debt to centre Willis Halaholo, who had only started in that position following the late withdrawal of Steve Shingler. Halaholo powered his way past several Connacht defenders, before Williams completed the score.

However, the visitors showed resolve to get back into things and created a fine opening for Matt Healy to go over the gain line, with JP Cooney adding a tough conversion.
Cooney slotted over two penalties in the second half - the second from a huge distance - as an entertaining contest became level at 13-13.
The visitors looked the more likely victors and carved Blues apart with five minutes remaining, but Healy could not hold onto the ball as he looked likely to score.
Jack Carty then missed with a drop goal attempt, but O'Halloran made no mistake two minutes later to edge Connacht ahead.
Ronaldson's penalty from almost halfway then rubber-stamped the victory for the Pro12 champions.
Cardiff Blues coach Danny Wilson told Clwb Rygbi: "I am very frustrated.
"In the second half we didn't manage to score with the little possession we had and the if I am honest, we had to do a lot of defending.
"Connacht were excellent over the ball and we couldn't get enough tempo into the game.
"We have to look hard at ourselves. It is not good enough to lose at home, especially in a game we should have at least drawn.
"Our defending at the end was poor and now to do anything, we need to win our next three games, in my opinion."
Cardiff Blues: Matthew Morgan; Blaine Scully, Rey Lee-Lo, Steve Shingler, Rhun Williams; Gareth Anscombe, Lloyd Williams (captain); Rhys Gill, Kristian Dacey, Anton Peikrishvili, Jarrad Hoeata, James Down, Macauley Cook, Josh Navidi, Nick Williams

Denbighshire will cut its 530-mile (853km) salting run by 27 miles (43km) after a review of the service.

"In almost all locations there is a suitable, parallel road close by that will still be treated," he added.
Kasabian Newton-Smith from Sheffield was diagnosed with cancer as a toddler and had two brain tumours.
Footballer Wayne Rooney sent him his England shirt and other players tweeted with the hashtag #1LastSmile4Kasabian.
Fans at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane applauded in the eighth minute of the club's match against Swindon Town.
Posting online, Kasabian's father said his son "passed peacefully in his sleep".
The social media campaign appealed to professionals and amateurs of the sport to hold one finger in the air and smile for a photograph.
Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp previously tweeted a picture featuring Rooney and Adam Lallana.
Alan Shearer also posted a message of support.
Speaking to the BBC in November, Kasabian's father Simon Newton-Smith said his son had "desperately" wanted to follow in his big brother's footsteps and play football.
He had been diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma and had more than 100 radiation treatments.
Kasabian, who has six brothers and sisters, had taken part in fundraising efforts for Sheffield Children's Hospital and cancer charities.
Glynis Breakwell has written more than 20 books as a social psychologist and joined the university in 2001.
In September, Bath was named as university of the year by the Sunday Times newspaper.
"I want to share this recognition with everyone who has made it possible and to thank them," she said.
Lord Tugendhat, university chancellor, said: "Professor Breakwell richly deserves this honour."
He added her "energy and determination" helped the university become successful over the past 10 years.
Peter Troughton, chair of the university's council, added "Her confident leadership has had a profound effect on the performance of the university academically and financially."
Elsewhere in Somerset, the co-founder of Yeo Valley Organics, Mary Mead, has been appointed an OBE for services to sustainable dairy farming.
Giles Clarke, the chair of the England and Wales Cricket board, who lives in Wrington, will become a CBE.
He beat David Gilbert 10-9 with the deciding frame lasting two hours, three minutes and 41 seconds - 44 seconds longer than the men's marathon world record in athletics.
Peter Ebdon also narrowly qualified but two-time winner Mark Williams is out.
The championship starts on 15 April with the draw on Thursday at 10:00 BST.
The frame between O'Brien and England's Gilbert comfortably beat the previous pro record of one hour, 40 minutes and 24 seconds, set by Alan McManus and Barry Pinches at the 2015 Ruhr Open.
"Obviously in an ideal world you win a bit quicker than that," O'Brien said.
"The balls went scrappy in the colours and I was so tired, double-checking everything and I'm so, so relieved."
Elsewhere in qualifying, former world champion Ebdon beat Michael Holt 10-9 on the final black to qualify for his 24th World Championship.
Meanwhile, two-time winner Williams lost to Stuart Carrington.
Wales' Williams, champion in 2000 and 2003, trailed his English opponent 6-3 going into the final session and was eventually beaten 10-7.
Graeme Dott, the 2006 world champion, recovered from 4-0 down to beat Jamie Jones of Wales 10-8, while fellow Scot Stephen Maguire defeated China's Li Hang 10-5.
They warn of "serious mistakes" in the introduction of changes to tests and say results are too "unpredictable".
This year's primary tests also saw a series of leaks and cancellations.
But the Department for Education said its reforms would "help ensure all children leave primary school having mastered the basics".
Leaders of the National Association of Head Teachers have written an open letter to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan urging her to cancel the public use of any data from this year's primary tests.
It would mean there would be no primary school league tables, based on the tests taken by 10 and 11 year olds.
The head teachers' union says that individual pupils should be given their results, with warnings to parents about concerns about their reliability, but the results were not robust enough to be used to make comparisons between schools.
Heads are complaining about "inadequate" time to prepare for changes, "obscure guidance" and "massive variations" in how schools approached the tests.
They say that the outcomes of the tests are likely to be so "skewed" that "comparisons between schools become very risky".
The heads' union says ministers need to address the "growing disquiet about assessment".
There were further difficulties this year when part of the English test for seven year olds had to be cancelled because questions had been published on a Department for Education website.
There were then claims of a "rogue marker" trying to disrupt the exams, when part of the English paper for 11 year olds was put on to a password-protected website the day before it was due to be taken.
Baseline tests for reception pupils also had to be scrapped, when it was found that the different types of tests being used did not produce consistent results.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "We have reformed the primary curriculum to help ensure all children leave primary school having mastered the basics, and the support and hard work of teachers is key to making this happen.
"We are determined to get this right and remain committed to working with teachers and head teachers as we continue with our primary assessment reform. We will respond to this letter in due course."
The pre-tournament odds-on favourite was cruising at 3-1 before the Spaniard fought back with brilliant darts and looked set to level the scores.
Reyes lost 4-2 but finished with an average of 106.07 - the highest for a losing player in tournament history.
Earlier, fourteen-time champion Phil Taylor beat Kevin Painter 4-0.
He gave me more game than Phil Taylor and Gary Anderson
"It was winning ugly - it wasn't the best game in the world," Taylor said after the scrappy encounter.
Van Gerwen now plays Darren Webster for a place in the quarter-finals.
The Dutchman paid tribute to Reyes: "He played phenomenally- I've never seen him play this well.
"He gave me more game than Taylor and [world champion] Gary Anderson."
Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld dropped only two legs on his way to a 4-0 victory over England's Alan Norris.
"I feel comfortable and confident. When you feel like that, you can beat all of them," the 2007 champion said.
Earlier, two-time PDC semi-finalist Mark Webster survived a fightback from Austrian eighth seed Mensur Suljovic to progress.
Webster led 3-1 but was forced into a decider by Suljovic, who was a European Championship finalist in October.
Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney recorded a 4-3 win over Scottish ninth seed Robert Thornton and Dave Chisnall beat Chris Dobey 4-2 in an all-England clash.
Jamie Parker, currently starring in the West End show Guys and Dolls, will star as an adult Harry in the production, set 19 years after JK Rowling's books.
Noma Dumezweni, who recently stepped in at the last minute to replace Kim Cattrall in Linda at the Royal Court, will play Hermione Granger.
London Road star Paul Thornley completes the trio as Ron Weasley.
"I'm so excited with the choice of casting for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," Rowling said.
"I can't wait to see Jamie, Noma and Paul bring the adult Harry, Hermione and Ron to life on stage next summer."
Rowling went on to address the casting of a black actress as Hermione, saying the character's ethnicity "was never specified" in her original books.
"Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever," the author tweeted in response to a user's question.
"White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione."
Jack Thorne's two-part play - based on an original new story by Rowling, Thorne and director John Tiffany - sees Harry as both a father of three school-age children and an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted," reads a synopsis for the show.
Parker's other stage credits include being an original member of Alan Bennett's The History Boys at the National Theatre - a role he reprised on the big screen in 2006.
The 36-year-old has since been seen in such musical productions as Assassins and High Society.
Dumezweni, 45, won a best supporting actress Olivier award in 2005 for her role in A Raisin in the Sun.
The actress, who was born in Swaziland to South African parents, also starred alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou in 2002 film Dirty Pretty Things.
Stage regular Thornley recently featured in Simon Pegg's romantic comedy Man Up and also appeared in ITV drama Life Begins opposite Caroline Quentin.
Previews of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child begin on 7 June at the Palace Theatre, with both plays set to open on 30 July.
The casting announcement has generated significant interest on social media, something Dumezweni jokingly highlighted on her Twitter page.
"Um... So. Just seen my feed BLOW UP," the actress tweeted on Sunday night. "What's THAT about?!"
On his own Twitter feed, Thorne said he was "so happy" the leads had been announced, describing them as "brilliant".
"Noma, Jamie & Paul will be the most brilliant three," he wrote in a follow-up post. "We're very lucky to have them."
The writer went on to "assure all doubters" that Thornley is "ginger in his soul" - a riposte to those who have suggested Ron should be played by a red-haired actor.
Parker, meanwhile, thanked his followers for the "flood of support" he has received and said he would "do [his] best for you & this phenomenal team".
Unveiling his manifesto, the former banker said he would ban politicians from employing relatives.
Mr Fillon has lost key staff, and some senators have demanded a new candidate.
Polls suggest Mr Macron will face Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front in the second round of voting.
Mr Fillon, of the Republicans party, had previously led the opinion polls but his popularity has been hit by allegations - now being investigated by a judge - that he paid his Welsh-born wife Penelope hundreds of thousands of euros for work she did not carry out.
On Wednesday Mr Fillon refused to end his campaign and complained he was the victim of a "political assassination". That led to the resignation of Mr Fillon's foreign affairs spokesman, Bruno Le Maire.
And his campaign suffered new setbacks on Thursday, with the resignation of the deputy campaign director, Sebastien Lecornu, and adviser Vincent Le Roux, along with a number of more junior staff.
The centrist UDI party announced on Wednesday that it was suspending its support, pending a final decision next week.
Unveiling his manifesto, Mr Macron also said he would reduce the number of parliamentary seats and introduce term limits on elected members to "eradicate conflicts of interest".
Mr Macron, who is fighting his first election campaign, does not have a political party and describes his "En Marche" organisation as a movement.
He said he wanted France to rediscover its "spirit of conquest" and set out policies to tackle unemployment, abolish residence tax for most French households and make retirement conditions the same for everyone.
Other policies in the manifesto (in French) include banning the use of mobile phones in primary and secondary schools, forcing big internet companies to pay tax on their business activities in France and cutting corporation tax to 25% from its current level of 33.3%.
He told reporters he would sell up to €10bn ($10.6bn; £8.6bn) worth of government shares in large companies in which the state does not hold a majority.
There were also plans to tackle social exclusion in poor immigrant suburbs. Mr Macron said he would reduce school class sizes, set up grants to help young people find jobs, incentivise companies to hire them and improve relations between young people and the police.
Mr Macron called for an international "roadmap" to fight Islamic extremism in the Middle East and Africa and said he would increase military spending to 2% of GDP, as the US and other Nato allies have demanded.
He described Africa as the global region that presented the "greatest risk and opportunity" to France.
He also said the remaining 27 EU member states had to defend the single market in Brexit talks. He urged efforts to reinvigorate the eurozone and called for closer European co-operation.
Ms Le Pen has said she wants to pull France out of the euro, but not the EU.
The first round of the French presidential election will be held on 23 April. If no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote a second round between the two top candidates will be held on 7 May.
Greater Manchester Police were called to the Royal Bolton Hospital at 21:30 BST on Sunday after the 46-year-old from Wigan's death.
He had suffered injuries following an altercation on Leigh Road, Leigh, earlier in the day, police said.
Two women, aged 24 and 38, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.
A post-mortem examination was inconclusive and further tests are being carried out, police added.
Det Insp Paul Rollinson said the investigation was "at a very early stage" and inquiries were ongoing.
He urged anyone with information about the altercation earlier in the day to contact police.
"Playlists are skewed towards US artists, which makes it harder to break UK talent," Ben Mortimer told the BBC.
"I love streaming. Everyone knows this is happening and we're working 24-7 to figure out how we can fix it.
"It's a conversation that's going on in rooms in every streaming service and in every record label."
Only one British artist - Zayn Malik - has had a number one single in the UK this year.
Mortimer, whose label has three albums shortlisted for tomorrow's Mercury Prize, says acts from North America are particularly strong at the moment.
"We're inundated with absolutely brilliant pop and urban music from the States," he said.
"But look back over the last six or seven years, the UK has been the country that's dominated the global music scene - from Adele to Florence to Ed Sheeran to Mumford and Sons. It has been relentless and people in America have been worried for their jobs.
"It just so happens they've got their stuff together over there. It's a cyclical business in that way."
Nonetheless, 2016 has been notably quiet for new talent, with the likes of Drake and Justin Bieber dominating the charts at the expense of new releases.
The inclusion of streaming data, where 100 streams equals one sale, means the Top 40 now rewards music that is being listened to repeatedly.
The situation has led to an unprecedented slowdown in the singles chart. Just eight songs have reached number one in the UK so far this year, compared with 17 at the same point in 2015; and 28 the year before.
Many in the music industry believe playlists like Spotify's Global Top 50 and Apple Music's Top Songs are self-perpetuating - robbing new music of much-needed exposure.
Pop star Olly Murs recently said the charts were "not fair" after his single, You Don't Know Love, stalled at number 15.
"With streaming you have to be on certain playlists for it to have effect," he told Digital Spy. "I feel like the chart now, for breaking new artists, is harder."
Mortimer, who signed artists like Jamie T, Years & Years and Florence + The Machine, said the UK was still producing "tons of great music" and that labels like Polydor would continue to invest in "brilliant artists".
Read more of his interview below.
How do you account for your success at the Mercurys?
Polydor has a strong heritage of brilliant music, from the 60s onwards. It's always been a music-first label, and that's something we've been taught to instil here.
To have three Mercury nominations in one year, especially with sophomore [second] albums, shows real artist development. [We have] a light touch, allowing the artists to be creative and backing them.
Michael Kiwanuka's album took a lot of people by surprise - he'd almost been written off after his debut failed to sell in big numbers. Was there pressure on you to drop him?
I'd be lying if I said those conversations don't happen with some artists - but with someone like Michael, who I believe is close to being considered a classic artist, it's our responsibility to back them and show the support they deserve.
One of the major problems in the UK is that people are expected to come out on their first record and be as good as Blur or U2 - but those bands broke on their third record.
What's your philosophy when you sign a new band? What are you looking for?
Before, when we used to sign people, it would be on a demo and a gut feeling, but now you've got so much more information. Often bands have a bit of a fanbase already, or you can see how well their tracks are doing online.
Those stats can be misleading, though.
Exactly, and you have to be careful of that. Just because something's big on the internet, doesn't mean it's going to be big in the wider world. The balance is going a bit on that gut feeling, but using a touch of the stats.
One thing that hasn't changed is that you still want to sign brilliant artists, charismatic people and great songwriters.
The traditional view of A&R is Alan McGee watching Oasis at King Tut's and offering them a deal on the spot. How realistic is that?
It's such a lovely idea - and I definitely caught the tail end of those years in my early days.
To some extent, that can still happen. A recent example is Royal Blood, a band who didn't have much going on, but an A&R at the back of the room said "you're signed" and it grew from there.
Why are guitar bands struggling so much at the minute?
I think people really love what the Americans call "rhythmic music" at the moment. There's a love for pop music, and urban music is just huge - just pouring out of the US and Canada. It just feels like the tide is not with guitar music.
It's been that way for almost a decade now.
It has - but I remember being here in the late 90s, when dance music was huge, and then it disappeared for much of the following decade. These things happen in cycles.
It's your job to be ahead of that curve… so how does a sea change like that manifest itself to you? Or does it catch you by surprise?
It definitely can do. Back in my previous life, I worked as a music journalist. I remember sitting in the offices of Mixmag and a young lady on the news desk started talking about an album from a band called The Strokes in New York.
Most of the people in the office went, "that's a load of rubbish", but it changed music for the next six or seven years.
So these things come along - we just have to be looking out for them.
You've just signed up the editor of GRM daily, Elle Simionescu-Marin, to your team. Are you pinning your hopes on grime as the next big thing?
Is grime the next massive youth movement? It already is, to some extent.
I just think it's great to have brilliant people around you, and she's a brilliant, enthusiastic and well-connected woman.
Is it simply the case that it will take more effort to break artists in the future?
Exactly. You have to put out more music and put on more shows before you get noticed. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's what the Beatles did. They were tucked away in Hamburg for two years learning their craft, then they were great when they came out.

There was debate within Scotland over whether these elections were an opportunity to discuss Brexit and independence or whether doing this meant important local issues would be ignored.
The council elections will still take place on 4 May as planned.
But will the nature of the campaigning now change?
Some parties and candidates were highlighting Brexit and the possibility of a second independence referendum - others were focusing on things councils are actually responsible for, or national issues connected to local government.
Naturally, there was the usual claim and counter-claim between parties over just who was doing what and why.
So with an unexpected general election - the first to be completely unexpected for decades - do things now change?
Of course, it is nothing new for council elections to take place in the shadow of an oncoming general election.
For example in 1983, 1987 and 2001 the general election came in June - shortly after council elections in many parts of the UK.
In those days, the date of the general election was effectively in the hands of the prime minister. The Conservatives' performance in some areas in 1983 and 1987 was a factor in persuading Margaret Thatcher to go to the country, convinced by her party's prospects.
In each of those years, the prospect of a June election meant there was plenty of intense debate and informal electioneering for months beforehand.
In that sense, the council elections were overshadowed but the local campaigns took place before the election date had been confirmed and the start of official campaigning.
It is worth noting though that in Scotland, there has been no occasion since a standardised system of local government was introduced in the 1970s when a national day of council elections came to be overshadowed by a UK general election.
There were no widespread local elections in Scotland in May 1983, 1987 or 2001. In a sense, this is now uncharted territory.
In the early years of devolution, council elections took place on the same day as the Scottish parliamentary elections - in 2012 they were consciously moved back to a different day to try to put more focus on local issues although the extent to which this has happened is debatable.
The question now is what an unexpected general election may mean in practice for the Scottish council election campaigns.
Concern had been expressed by some - for example the trade unions Unison and the EIS - that the council elections were being overshadowed by Brexit and the possibility of a second Scottish independent referendum.
There are now two possibilities.
With a general election imminent, it could be argued that this is an opportunity to ensure the local elections really are an opportunity to debate council issues and local services. The chance to express a view on Brexit and the referendum will come a few weeks later.
The other possibility is the complete opposite, of course: will the local elections now become a sideshow or a warm-up act? A party could naturally hope for a strong council election performance to set it up for the battle ahead.
One big question now concerns campaigning.
There are strict restrictions on how much money can be spent on local campaigning by Westminster and council candidates.
But there are, in reality, few financial restrictions on generic national campaigning - posters promoting the party or its leader rather than individual candidates, newspaper advertising highlighting a party's policies and so on.
Will party political broadcasts ahead of the council elections focus on local or national issues? What might the impact be of any national advertising which appears before 4 May?
Local authorities will also now be faced with the practicalities of organising a poll they had not anticipated: sending out polling cards, setting up polling places and organising counts.
For some primary school children, it will mean an unexpected day off school.
So will these council elections become a warm-up act for the general election? Or will the next fortnight see more debate on local issues? Watch this space...
Prosecutors had seized the Bitcoins - a virtual currency - as they shut the website, which allowed users to trade in illegal drugs, last year.
The seized Bitcoins were allegedly used "to facilitate money laundering", the prosecutors claimed.
Bitcoins have gained popularity recently but there have been fears they may be used for illegal activities.
"We continue our efforts to take the profit out of crime and signal to those who would turn to the dark web for illicit activity that they have chosen the wrong path," US prosecutor Preet Bharara said in a statement.
Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency.
But it may be better to think of its units as being virtual tokens that have value because enough people believe they do and there is a finite number of them.
Each bitcoin is represented by a unique online registration number.
These numbers are created through a process called "mining", which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution.
Each time a problem is solved the computer's owner is rewarded with bitcoins.
To receive a bitcoin, a user must also have a Bitcoin address - a randomly generated string of 27 to 34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual postbox to and from which the bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no registry of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction.
These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets, which are used to manage savings. They operate like privately run bank accounts - with the proviso that if the data is lost, so are the bitcoins contained.
Mr Bharara added that prosecutors were treating Bitcoins like any other asset involved in money laundering and criminal activity.
"These Bitcoins were forfeited not because they are Bitcoins, but because they were, as the court found, the proceeds of crimes," he said.
The US authorities have alleged that Silk Road had been designed to "enable its users to buy and sell illegal drugs and other unlawful goods and services anonymously".
They said they had also filed charges against Ross William Ulbricht, the alleged owner of the site.
Mr Ulbricht is also known as Dread Pirate Roberts, DPR and Silk Road, the prosecutors said.
As part of the action against the Mr Ulbricht, prosecutors said they had seized an additional 144,336 Bitcoins.
These are worth nearly $130m at current value.
Mr Ulbricht has filed a claim contesting the seizure of the Bitcoins, asserting that they were found on his personal computer and belong to him rather than Silk Road.
The items include Bronze Age axes and Viking jewellery.
It is believed that whoever found the items may not be Irish and may have been using a metal detector.
The museum has four sites but the best known is on Dublin's Kildare Street next door to the Dáil (Irish parliament).
Admission is free and thousands visit it every week to look at the collections covering vastly different times in Irish history including the Bronze Age and Viking periods.
But, recently, the museum received four items sent anonymously in letters without a post-mark addressed to the "History Museum", rather than the National Museum, thereby giving rise to a suspicion that the sender may not have been living in Ireland for very long.
The items include two Bronze-Age axes; one dating from about 2,200 BC and the other from about 1,300 BC, a Viking strap-end that probably came from Norway and is very rare in Ireland, and a small twisted ring which may be linked to the strap-end.
The museum believes the items were discovered in at least three different sites.
There is also a suspicion that the artefacts were found by a metal detector even though it is illegal to excavate items using such a detector without a licence.
The finder may not have known that, especially if he or she is from abroad.
Staff would still like the person who discovered them to come forward to let the museum know about the circumstances of the finds in order to help build up the picture of Ireland's past.
2016 has seen many other finds with the summer months, now being called "the summer of the pin" because three pins used for holding clothes were found in different parts of the island.
One item was discovered by a workman excavating a drain in County Limerick who initially thought it was a nail.
Museum staff will be wondering whether 2017 will bring such rich pickings.
Cheltenham secured the National League title on Saturday, ending a season-long battle for top spot with Pennock's second-placed side, their local rivals.
"He may have wanted to keep it secret but it was a lovely little touch," Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"Credit to him because he's been very humble. That was a bit of class there."
Pennock said: "He deserved it. We've had a good battle up there, being first and second all season.
"It was just a case of saying well done to him. He fully deserves it.
"Being manager at any football club is a tough job. He's come out on top and that was all it was."
Johnson added: "A bottle turned up yesterday in a package and we thought 'who is this from?' The card came out and it was from 'Ady Pennock, Forest Green.'
"I wish him well for the play-offs."
The Liberal Democrat AM voted with Plaid Cymru against Article 50 despite the Labour group opposing the motion.
Mr Davies suggested some Labour AMs were "sore" over the Senedd vote.
Mr Jones's spokesman said it was recognised the Lib Dems were in a different position on the matter.
Article 50 of the European Union Lisbon treaty is the trigger that would allow UK ministers to start the process to leave the EU.
The UK government wants to set Article 50 in motion by the end of March.
Mr Davies himself campaigned for Vote Leave at the referendum last year - his group joined Labour and UKIP in voting against the Plaid Cymru proposal in the Senedd on Tuesday.
Only 10 AMs supported the motion to oppose Article 50 being triggered without assurances over the single market, versus 46 against.
The vote if passed would have been advisory and would not have affected the process.
Mr Davies questioned whether collective responsibility - the principle that ministers should always support the government - had been lifted in the Labour-led Welsh Government for the Lib Dem minister.
He told BBC Wales he had no issue with how Ms Williams voted, but questioned how he "could have her continuing in his cabinet".
"I want to know from the first minister, is he going to allow that to stand, or is he going to sack Kirsty Williams?"
"I think the question needs to be asked, was collective responsibility the order of the day yesterday, or had he lifted that," he said.
"In which case, if he lifted it for Kirsty Williams, I know of several Labour backbenchers who would have voted differently if they didn't have the whip imposed on them.
"It seems one rule for Labour backbenchers, another rule for Kirsty Williams".
Mr Davies, who said he spoke to three Labour backbenchers, said they had "expressed soreness to me because obviously they had an emergency group meeting last Wednesday where this was discussed".
"They were led to believe it was the government position and lo and behold after the vote they found that a member of that government, a Lib Dem admittedly, voted against the will of the government," he said.
Mr Davies said it showed Mr Jones was a "very weak first minister", and added that if a member of the government was allowed to vote in a different way to Labour backbenchers "that shows a causal, at best, disregard for the role of government and collective responsibility and that really poses questions on some of the big issues like the M4 relief road".
Because of a Supreme Court judgement the power to start the Article 50 process has to be given to UK ministers through legislation passed by MPs - legislation that is currently progressing through Parliament.
A vote last week on the bill saw seven Welsh Labour members of parliament rebelling against the Labour whip, which obliged the party to support the proposal.
No such rebellion took place in the Senedd.
A spokesman for Mr Jones said: "We recognise that the Liberal Democrats are in a different position on this specific matter."
He added: "Our priority is to secure maximum support for our white paper, Securing Wales' Future, and that is what we have achieved."
A Labour group spokesman declined to comment on Mr Davies's comments about the views of backbenchers.
The Scottish Parliament voted against Article 50 in a vote on the same day.
The Portuguese, given a one-match touchline ban before the game, stayed out of view as United set up a last-four tie against Hull City.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic clipped in the opening goal inside two minutes before former United youngster Ashley Fletcher equalised as he pounced on David de Gea's error.
Anthony Martial re-established the home side's lead shortly after half-time, drilling Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross past Hammers keeper Adrian.
The France international extended United's lead when he stroked in Antonio Valencia's low cross after a well-worked team move, with Ibrahimovic adding the gloss by tapping in with virtually the last kick of the game.
Mourinho will have been pleased with his side's fluent attacking display, and even happy enough to bring on substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger for his first game since March.
Mourinho claimed his first honour in English football when he led Chelsea to the 2005 League Cup, following that up by lifting the iconic three-handled trophy again in 2007 and 2015.
And naming a strong line-up against the Hammers indicated he is keen to become only the third manager to win the competition on four occasions.
It is not certain, though, where Mourinho, 53, watched his side on Wednesday night. "It is a secret," he said afterwards.
He was seen arriving at Old Trafford, then spotted waiting to shake Hammers boss Slaven Bilic's hand before kick-off. Then he disappeared into the bowels of the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand.
In his absence, the home side played with a vigour and verve long missing from Old Trafford performances in recent years.
The attacking quartet of Ibrahimovic, Martial, Wayne Rooney and Mkhitaryan were a handful throughout and, although the Hammers goal was preventable, Mourinho was more than content.
"Goals plus performance means the real happiness," he said.
While Ibrahimovic and Martial put their names on the Red Devils scoresheet, it was Rooney and - particularly - Mkhitaryan pulling all the strings.
The Red Devils skipper was restored to the starting XI as he threatens to break Sir Bobby Charlton's 43-year standing as the club's all-time leading scorer.
Rooney, who needs one goal to draw level with Charlton's tally of 249 strikes, might not have scored against the Hammers, but impressed with his all-round display.
However, there was a downside.
He picked up an avoidable booking for arguing with referee Mike Jones, therefore ruling him out of Sunday's trip to Everton - and potentially breaking Charlton's record at his boyhood club.
"Some of his passing and awareness tonight has been nothing short of magnificent," said former Scotland striker Ally McCoist, who was BBC Radio 5 live's expert analyst at Old Trafford.
It was during Sunday's Premier League draw between the two sides in which Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss after kicking a water bottle in frustration.
The Hammers failed to replicate that disciplined performance at the weekend as they unravelled in the second half on Wednesday.
Bilic will have been pleased with battling qualities shown by his side in the first half, riding out an early storm to level with their first shot.
The Croatian manager will not have been pleased to see them carved open so easily after the break, however. Nor will he have been happy to see left-back Ryan Cresswell substituted to add to his injury woes.
Back to the Premier League. Sixth-placed United go to Everton, who are a place and a point behind them, on Sunday (16:00 GMT).
The Hammers are a point above the relegation zone in 16th place and host Arsenal at the London Stadium on Saturday (17:30).

They say the priest, William Rian Adams, was driving near Palm City in Florida when a pick-up truck that had been following his Chevrolet Corvette closely tried to overtake him.
Mr Adams, 35, then "pointed a semi-automatic hand gun" at the two people in the other vehicle, police say.
The priest was arrested on Friday after the victims reported the incident.
He is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
A jury at Kingston Crown Court agreed the boy carried out the act at a property in Woking, Surrey, in November as he was not fit to enter a plea.
He was given a hospital order after the court heard psychiatric evidence.
The teenager, from Wallington in south London, cannot be named for legal reasons.
Its administrators announced last week that they were in exclusive talks with YGM about the sale of the business.
They have sold the brand and assets including UK stores, concessions and the head office, preserving 100 jobs.
Talks are continuing about the sale of the factory in Corby and concessions in Spain and Canada.
The administrators said they hoped to reach a deal on the sale of the factory within the next two weeks.
"We are delighted to announce the sale of Aquascutum, safeguarding the jobs of over 100 employees and the presence of the iconic Aquascutum brand in the United Kingdom," said joint administrator Geoff Rowley.
"We hope that under new ownership the Aquascutum brand and business will have the best opportunity of success and growth both in the UK and worldwide."
The new series - which is the first since the show left the BBC - sees Paul Hollywood joined by fellow judge Prue Leith, with Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig on presenting duties.
An average of 5.8 million viewers watched the show - rising to 6.5 million when those watching on +1 are included.
The first episode of the series broadly won over the critics, but it's the viewers Channel 4 needed to convince.
"I feel like I'm breaking some kind of law by watching this without Mel, Sue and Mary," tweeted Kelly as the episode started.
But with other viewers declaring the show "the best thing about being British," most stuck with it and had been won over by the time it ended.
Toksvig was popular on Twitter, with Mary writing: "Sandi is a natural to give this show coherence and polish."
Michelle said Sandi's co-host Noel was "pretty adorable" while Rob said he was "totally on board" with the Mighty Boosh star as a presenter.
Greg wrote that Fielding was going to "single-handedly save this series".
But Stephanie said: "It's like Top Gear all over again 🙈"
(We don't think that's a compliment given how Chris Evans's season went down.)
End of Twitter post by @747Captain
Chloe said Sandi and Noel were "no Mel and Sue", while Hannah tweeted: "The word bake just doesn't sound the same coming from them."
But former contestant Rav Bansal spoke for many when he said: "Although Mel and Sue will always have my heart, Sandi and Noel are doing brilliantly."
Very diplomatic.
Not everybody was a fan of the commercial breaks, and many viewers were quick to tweet their thoughts when the ads started rolling.
"Adverts in GBBO is just wrong," was one of the more printable reactions to the first break.
By the third, Julie said she was getting "fed up" with the interruptions and Gemma tweeted they were the "only thing I hate about the new GBBO".
Former winner Nadiya Hussain even said she was holding off on watching the show until she could skip the adverts:
End of Twitter post by @BegumNadiya
But Pauline pointed out: "Don't mind the adverts - allows me to make tea!"
Similarly, Katie felt the ads "built the tension" while Vicky said they "give you a chance to debrief in between segments".
Line-up changes and ad breaks aside, many viewers said the show felt reassuringly familiar.
Sue tweeted: "Hats off to Channel 4 - well done for keeping GBBO the same great format.
"Yes the ads aren't great but they weren't too badly placed! ðŸ‘
Retired South Yorkshire Ch Supt David Duckenfield was tracked down to San Francisco airport in the United States.
He told the BBC: "At the present time due to the ongoing criminal inquiry, I'm afraid I'm unable to comment and I hope you will excuse me."
Operation Resolve, the criminal inquiry into the 1989 disaster, is continuing.
Mr Duckenfield has not made any public comment since the inquests ended last month.
Asked by the BBC's Duncan Kennedy whether he had any apology to make to the families of the 96 people who died as a result of the crush, he replied: "When I was at the coroner's court in Warrington I gave a message and I have nothing more to say."
Pressed on the apology he added: "I am saying nothing at all."
The jury was satisfied Mr Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care during the FA Cup semi-final he presided over at the stadium in Sheffield.
After a 27-year campaign by the families of the victims, Liverpool fans were cleared of any blame.
The jury found they did not contribute to the danger unfolding at the turnstiles at the Leppings Lane end, where the fatal crush happened.
Giving evidence at the inquests, Mr Duckenfield said he had "buried his head in the sand" in the years that followed the disaster.
He said he had been incompetent and that his "mistakes" and "oversight" had contributed to the tragedy.
He apologised to the victims' families, adding: "It's now dawned on me what it means to you."
The event is to run from 29 September to 2 October at Eden Court in Inverness and could attract as many as 3,000 people.
Organisers said knitting experts and enthusiasts from 19 countries had registered to attend.
Since the first announcement of the event last year, knitters have been making woollen Loch Ness Monsters.
The knitted Nessie creations have been sent to the festival's organisers from all over the world to help mark the holding of the inaugural event.
The festival will feature knitting-themed exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, fashion shows and workshops.
Batley led early on through David Scott but Leigh hit back through Fuifui Moimoi and Adam Higson.
Alistair Leak levelled the scores but Leigh eased into a 24-12 half-time lead through Cory Paterson and Lewis Foster.
Leigh added further tries through Travis Burns, Willie Tonga and Dayne Weston, with Keegan Hirst and Wayne Reittie adding consolations for Batley.
A crowd of 10,556 were in attendance at Leigh Sports Village after Leigh owner Derek Beaumont offered free tickets for the game to celebrate the club's return to Super League for next season.
Leigh: Smith, Higson, Brown, Tonga, Dawson, Reynolds, Burns, Moimoi, Hood, Weston, Dixon, Paterson, Fash.
Replacements: Foster, Hansen, Hopkins, Spencer.

Crichlow, who can also play as a forward, has yet to make his first-team debut for the R's.
The 18-year-old is in the third year of a scholarship deal at Loftus Road, and is out of contract in the summer.
"He is a quick, explosive player who likes to get at his man and deliver crosses," player-manager Kevin Nicholson told the club website.
The Rhinos, who are bottom of Super League, were beaten 52-12 by the Tigers on Thursday evening.
McDermott led the Headingley side to the treble last season.
"It's a terrible scoreline and defensively it was terrible. It's up there as one of the worst performances in my time here," he said.
Last season's champions have now lost 11 of their 14 league fixtures this season and are six points outside the top eight.
If the team fail to break into the top eight when the league splits after 23 matches then they will end the season in The Qualifiers and face the possibility of relegation.
Chief executive Gary Hetherington issued a statement at the start of the week to say the club was not in crisis and that the players remained positive.
And after their fourth successive defeat, McDermott said the players had to take their share of the responsibility.
"I back the players to come up with something and I don't want to be critical of them, but there still has to be some accountability," he added.
"We went through some passages of making Castleford work hard and showing some fight, but it just wasn't long enough."

They are currently under threat though due to poaching, with tens of thousands being killed every year for their tusks.
Their tusks are made of ivory, which is considered valuable in many countries.
World leaders are meeting in South Africa to discuss how to tackle the problem of elephants being killed for their tusks.
Some people are worried that if more is not done, then there could soon be no more elephants left in the world.
The unilateral truce, announced by Russia, will last until at least 19:00 (16:00 GMT). Eight exit corridors have been designated from the east.
Russian and Syrian air strikes have been halted since Tuesday.
Rebels have rejected the plan and there are reports of clashes at one of the corridors out of the east.
Only a few civilians have been evacuated so far, if any, and various parties to the conflict are blaming each other for this.
A correspondent in Aleppo for Orient News, a Dubai-based pro-opposition TV channel, said he and his crew had visited the two crossings intended for evacuation, but only a few civilians had left at the very start of the ceasefire, and none since then.
Ammar Jaber accused Syrian government forces of targeting the corridors with sniper and rocket fire. He said "fierce clashes" were continuing and 15 people had come under sniper fire.
Syria's state-run news agency has blamed "terrorist groups" for the attacks, and the Russian state-run broadcaster Rossiya 24 said members of Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, a militant group once aligned with al-Qaeda, were preventing people from leaving.
And a teacher in Aleppo, Wissam Zarqa, told the BBC: "To my knowledge, none could leave."
He said he thought "no arrangements had been made" for medical evacuations.
Last month, Syrian government forces encircled the eastern section and launched an all-out assault backed by Russia.
Some 2,700 people have been killed or injured in the bombardment since then, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group. About 250,000 civilians who live in Aleppo have been trapped by the fighting.
Western leaders have said Russian and Syrian air strikes on Aleppo could amount to war crimes, an accusation rejected by Russia.
In other developments, the Turkish military says its jets have attacked the Kurdish YPG militia north of Aleppo, killing up to 200 fighters.
But a senior Kurdish commander, Mahmoud Barkhadan, told the Associated Press news agency that no more than 10 of his fighters had died.
The UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday that at least 11 people had been killed, with 24 reported injuries. The group compiles information from a network of contacts on the ground.
The YPG is supported by the US in its fight against so-called Islamic State, but Turkey regards it as a terrorist organisation.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said earlier this week the pause in the bombing would help "guarantee" the safety of six corridors through which civilians could leave.
Rebel fighters have been offered a chance to leave with their weapons via two corridors.
Jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which was known as al-Nusra Front until it broke formal ties with al-Qaeda in July, has vowed to fight on.
"We choose not to give up our people," it said.
Mainstream rebel factions also dismissed Russia's proposal as a gimmick.
The UN, which regards Jabhat Fateh al-Sham as a terrorist organisation, says the group has 900 fighters inside Aleppo, out of a maximum of 8,000 rebels in total. | Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen has been given a suspended two-match ban after "shouting and gesticulating" towards Dundee fans.

In early April Barca led the league by nine points and were on course for a second consecutive La Liga, Champions League and Spanish Cup treble.
But a 2-1 loss at home to Valencia saw Atletico Madrid go joint top, four days after they knocked Barca out of Europe.
"We can't be worried when you look at the way we're playing," Pique said.
Barca created plenty of chances during Sunday's defeat by mid-table Valencia, with away keeper Diego Alves making a string of superb saves as the Catalan side suffered three successive La Liga defeats for the first time since 2003.
"If we play like this we'll win the league, I'm convinced of that," added Spain centre-back Pique.
"Although it's a step backwards, playing this well will help the team mentally. We've recovered the sensations from a month ago."
Real Madrid were the first team to beat Barca in 39 matches when they won 2-1 at the Nou Camp on 2 April and are now just one point behind in third.
Luis Enrique's side followed up that defeat by their fierce rivals with a 1-0 loss at Real Sociedad and have five league games to play before their Copa del Rey final against Sevilla on 22 May.
"Feeling sorry for ourselves we won't win anything," Enrique said.
"I think we have criticised ourselves when it has been necessary, but today is not a day to criticise my players, it is a day to congratulate them," he added after Sunday's game.
"In the second half the players gave a lesson in how to face a situation like this. Until the 93rd minute they were trying to equalise and that is something to highlight.
"We've got a marvellous challenge. If we win the five games remaining we will be champions. If there is a team capable of doing it - and much more given what they have done - it is this Barca."

Two of their co-owners, former Manchester United stars Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, spoke at a two-hour planning meeting at Salford Council.
"The hard work starts here," said Neville afterwards.
"We have heard the local community issues and now we must deliver on the promises we have made."
The former Manchester United players heard numerous objections, including that they were turning Salford, who play in National League North, into a "commercial monster".
At one point Neville was presented with a black bin bag of rubbish by an objector as an example of the additional litter Salford's proposal would create.
He promised that, if needed, he and the Salford first team would go outside to clear litter after matches.
Neville also said any instances of anti-Semitism in an area where 40% of the local population is Jewish would be dealt with in the strongest available manner.
The planning permission was granted subject to a number of conditions, particularly with relation to traffic.
David Mintz, spokesman for the local Kersal Moor residents association, said: "The council has been wowed by celebrity. A thousand residents were consulted. The vast majority objected and this has been ignored."
Mintz said the objectors would now consider asking for a judicial review.
Salford have been promoted in successive seasons since a high-profile takeover involving Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary and Phil Neville in 2014 and last year reached the FA Cup second round for the first time.

The Glasgow-born player has won 76 caps for the Republic, having made his debut in 2004.
"He's a player that can improve the team and will help us in the second part of the season," boss Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"It was good for him to play in different cultures, he understands different systems, different ways to play.
"He has a big personal challenge because he wants to be in the European (Championship) with the national team.
"He can play on the left, on the right, he can play also behind the striker. You want to bring these players to your team because they have quality."
McGeady could make his Wednesday debut in Tuesday's home game against Burnley.

World number 10 Federer claimed the first set before being broken for the first time at this year's tournament in the first game of the second set.
Wawrinka, the world number three, went 2-0 ahead before Federer won three games in a row on his way to the title.
Elena Vesnina beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-7 (6-8) 7-5 6-4 in the women's final.
Federer becomes the oldest champion in the tournament's history, surpassing Jimmy Connors, who was 31 when he triumphed in 1984.
This was the 23rd meeting between Federer, an 18-time Grand Slam winner, and Wawrinka.
Federer, 35, has beaten his compatriot, who was in tears at the end, 20 times.
"This has been a fairy tale week," said Federer. "It's a beautiful feeling. Maybe it's not as surprising as Australia but it's still great to back it up by winning in America.
"It's a dream start to the year. I have totally exceeded my expectations. It's been an unbelievable start to the year."
The women's final lasted just over three hours as Vesnina came back from the dead to secure the biggest title of her career.
Eighth seed Kuznetsova edged a marathon first set lasting 71 minutes by winning a tie-break.
Vesnina, the 14th seed, trailed 4-1 in the second set before winning four games in a row to force a deciding set.
She trailed 4-2 in that set but again won four successive games to clinch victory and she collapsed to the court with a mixture of ecstasy and exhaustion at the end.
Vesnina, 30, was playing in her first final at a 'Premier Mandatory' event - those at Indian Wells, Key Biscayne, Madrid and Beijing.
Kuznetsova has now lost three finals at Indian Wells, having also been runner-up in 2007 and 2008.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
A 90th career title for Federer, who has won 13 of the 14 matches he has played in 2017 - with six of those wins coming against fellow top-10 players.
It is not easy being Wawrinka in a match against Federer: he has played a whole career in his shadow and has now lost all 15 of the hardcourt matches they have played.
Federer's stronger belief was very much in evidence as he broke in the final game of each set to continue his dream start to the year. Top of the 2017 ranking points list, he has accumulated nearly twice as many points as second-placed Rafael Nadal.
Spokesman Jonathan Todd told the BBC the Commission had been asking for more than three years for the figures.
"One can but sincerely hope" for ministers to set the record straight, he said.
But No 10 said there was "widespread and understandable concern" over people coming to the UK to access benefits.
The Commission's intervention follows its publication of a report claiming that jobless EU migrants make up less than 5% of those claiming social benefits in most of the EU member states studied.
Some newspapers have noted that the report shows that there are more than 600,000 "non-active" EU migrants in the UK - describing them as "unemployed".
But the Commission said this figure included older schoolchildren, students, the spouses of migrant workers, and retired people.
Fewer than 38,000 were claiming Jobseeker's Allowance, it added.
"The vast majority of migrants go to the UK to work, and they actually contribute more to the welfare system than they take out, purely because they tend to be younger than the average population, and of working age," Mr Todd told the BBC Two's Daily Politics.
"The more EU migrants you have, the better off your welfare system is."
He said that if the UK government could show evidence of "systematic, widespread abuse of benefits by EU migrants", then the Commission would look at changing EU rules.
The spokesman argued that it was important to deal with facts rather than perceptions.
The report, carried out by a consultancy on behalf of the Commission, concluded: "The share of non-active intra-EU migrants is very small. They account for a similarly limited share of SNCB [special non-contributory cast benefits] recipients and the budgetary impact of such claims on national welfare budgets is very low.
"The same is true for costs associated with the take-up of healthcare by this group."
But Prime Minister David Cameron's official spokesman said: "There is an issue around access to the welfare system, around fairness as well as a cost issue."
"We don't think the current system is working, that is why we are looking at changes across the board," he said.
The government is currently conducting an audit of the cost to the NHS of "health tourism", he added.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said there was a "big question mark" over the statistics.
"I am aware that this 600,000 figure doesn't actually refer to those who are necessarily of working age over here who could actually be working," he explained.
"I don't want to get in the middle of a debate between some of the media and the EU," he told MPs on Monday.
But he strongly criticised the Commission for mounting a legal challenge to the UK government's attempts to tighten the residency restrictions on who can claim UK benefits.
Conservative backbench MP Stewart Jackson told Daily Politics: "These people have not contributed.
"If you're a pensioner from Portugal or the Czech Republic you've not contributed. If you're a schoolchild, no-one would expect you to have contributed, but we're not in a parallel universe.
"Those children have got to be housed. They've got to have healthcare. Above all they've got to have school places.
"The strain in hot-spots, like my own constituency of Peterborough, is very, very acute, and I think that's why we're right to be saying there is an element of benefit tourism, particularly from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the government is absolutely right to be saying to the European Commission: 'Thus far and no further.'"
The cuts are mainly due to Shell's takeover of oil and gas exploration firm BG Group and prolonged low oil prices, it said.
Shell has announced more than 10,000 job losses over the past two years.
In February, the firm posted its steepest fall in annual earnings for 13 years.
"Despite the improvements that we have made to our business, current market conditions remain challenging," said Shell UK and Ireland vice president Paul Goodfellow.
"Our integration with BG provides an opportunity to accelerate our performance in this 'lower for longer' environment.
"We need to reduce our cost base, improve production efficiency and have an organisation that best fits our combined portfolio and business plans."
Most of the 475 UK job losses will be from Shell's headquarters in Aberdeen. Some posts offshore and at the energy company's plant at Mossmorran in Fife will also be affected.
The latest lay-offs will be implemented by the end of this year. That will take the total number of staff and contractor roles lost from Shell from the start of 2015 to the end of 2016 to at least 12,500.
At the end of 2015, Shell employed around 90,000 people globally and BG employed around 4,600.
Shell announced 7,500 job losses last year, and a further 2,800 job cuts at the beginning of this year.
The firm reported a sharp fall in full-year earnings in February, from $19bn in 2014 to $3.8bn last year.
Oil companies and their suppliers have cut back on investment and jobs as falling oil prices dent profits and make investment less worthwhile.
Brent crude prices have more than halved since mid-2014, dropping from more than $110 per barrel to below $50 per barrel. At the beginning of the year, prices were well below $40 per barrel.
In April, Shell announced planned office closures in Reading, Aberdeen and Manchester following the BG Group takeover, and said it planned to close the Thames Valley Park campus by the end of the year.
It said that all Aberdeen-based onshore operations would move to Tullos, and that BG's offices at Albyn Place would close along with Shell's Brabazon House office in Manchester.

Mourinho is not the only top manager with big ambitions going into the first weekend of the Premier League season.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "We want to fight for everything".
But Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has a different target, urging his players to show "soul" in their opener.
All five managers were questioned about their title ambitions in their media conferences on Friday after Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri played down his side's hopes of defending their crown.
Ranieri, manager of surprise champions Leicester, said on Thursday that there is more chance of aliens landing in London than the Foxes defending their title.
Mauricio Pochettino, who took Tottenham to third place last season, had also already spoken.
Pochettino feels being in the Champions League will make things tougher for his team, saying: "It's a big challenge."

The United boss did not specify which of his rivals he was talking about, but claimed other managers are scared of saying they can win the title at the same time as laying out his own intentions.
"Many more think the same way but they are afraid to say it," Mourinho said, as his side prepare to take on Bournemouth on Sunday.
"They prefer to hide and play defensively with words. That is not our way. It is not Manchester United.
"Manchester United have to say from day one they want to win the title. Maybe we don't win. Maybe at end of the season we are happy to finish in the top four.
"But, in this moment, when I speak to you, and when I do that I speak to my players too, I cannot speak differently."

Wenger did not duck talk of the title, and said his side's aim is to improve on last season's second-place finish.
However, the 66-year-old Frenchman did admit to feeling "even more anxiety" as he tries to win a first title since 2004, with Liverpool their first opponents.
"The top clubs have new ambition so it promises to be a very exciting season and difficult one as well," Wenger said.
"The new managers will be interesting but the quality on the pitch will be the most important thing and let's not forget we finished second," Wenger added.
"We need to skip one more place. The last four years we have been fourth, third and second, and we want to make progress again."
Mourinho was not the only manager to talk about his rivals.
Asked about Wenger's comments that Liverpool are title contenders, the Reds not being in Europe and his aims for the season, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp joked: "Three questions in one.
"Ok, first of all, Arsene Wenger is a smart person so it makes sense to try to bring a lot of names to the screen when talking of title contenders.
"We are not looking for excuses. There is nothing positive about not being involved in European football apart from having more time to train.
"It's exciting for everybody having these big names [managers] in the league. If they all have one target and that's winning the league then there can only be one lucky person. What does that mean for the others - they fail or they still do a good job?"

Former Italy and Juventus boss Conte is one of seven new managers in the top flight for the 2016-17 campaign - and is not expecting an easy ride from day one.
Chelsea start the season with a home game against West Ham on Monday and Conte said: "To start with a derby is tough but I'm excited. We will try to fight and do our best to win the game because it's important to start in the right way.
"I think this league is fantastic but very tough. There are many great clubs who can fight to win the title, fantastic players with great talent.
"There are also good managers, it will be a great battle and I'm excited. My players are also excited. We have a good situation to fight with the others and we're ready."

A party atmosphere is expected at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with City preparing a special welcome for Guardiola in his first competitive match in charge.
Guardiola is unsure how well his team will play against Sunderland but says he will enjoy himself if his players show some character.
"To create something you need time, to create ideas to attack, but for soul we don't need time," Guardiola said.
"On Saturday I don't know if we're going to play good but I won't accept if we don't play with soul. That's what I'm looking for from our team. I want our fans in the stadium to see that. I want my players to play their football with pleasure inside."

Hundreds of people attended the service at the Ministries Christian Centre in North Charleston to remember the father-of-four, who was shot last week.
Officer Michael Slager was charged with his murder, after a video of the shooting emerged.
Reverend George Hamilton said Mr Slager was a disgrace to the police force.
He told mourners: "We will not indict the entire law enforcement community for the act of one racist."
Mr Scott's coffin was draped with an American flag and flanked by members of his family as it entered the church on Saturday.
Chairs were placed outside to accommodate the large number of people who turned out for the service.
The 50-year-old was shot several times as he ran away from Mr Slager, who had initially reprimanded him for a broken rear light on his car.
His relatives said Mr Scott probably fled from the officer out of fear of being jailed over missed child support payments.
The shooting occurred as heightened scrutiny is being placed on police officer shootings, particularly those that involve white officers and unarmed black suspects.
Tyrone Johnson, who went to school with Mr Scott, described him as a friendly person, who "never met an enemy".
"There are a lot of people out here, just paying their respects to him and his legacy," he added.
Mr Slager has been held without bail and faces up to life in prison if convicted of murder.

Both players chose to miss the tour of Bangladesh in October because of security concerns.
Joe Root features in both squads, having been rested for the ODI series win in Bangladesh, but Ben Duckett, James Vince and Steven Finn miss out.
England play three ODIs and three T20s in India from 15 January to 1 February.
Morgan, 30, is the seventh highest England ODI run-scorer in history, with 5,020 runs at an average of 37 in 170 matches.
Under Morgan, England won seven of their eight ODIs this summer, but the left-hander averaged only 29 from 13 innings in 2016.
Hales, 27, who made the highest one-day score by an England batsman when he hit 171 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in August, averages 37 in 38 games.
Northamptonshire left-hander Duckett, 22, scored two fifties in his first three ODIs against Bangladesh but was dropped from the Test team after managing only 18 runs in three innings on the current tour of India.
England's Test team trail 2-0 in the five-match series, with the fourth Test in Mumbai starting on Thursday.
Jonathan Agnew, BBC cricket correspondent
The England and Wales Cricket Board had guaranteed that both Morgan and Hales would not be penalised for missing Bangladesh.
Although both return, there's no doubt there is increased pressure on Morgan to perform with the bat, not just because of the depth of reserves but also because Jos Buttler proved a success as captain.
The main casualty appears to be Duckett, whose one-day performances in Bangladesh led him to playing in the first four Tests of the winter.
England coach Trevor Bayliss said there was never any doubt that Morgan and Hales would come back into the team after missing the Bangladesh trip.
He dismissed suggestions that their return would aggrieve players who toured Bangladesh, where Buttler led the team to a 2-1 victory in the ODI series.
"No-one was annoyed that they didn't go," Bayliss told BBC Test Match Special. "They are good mates of all the players in the team. There are certainly no problems at all."
Asked whether Morgan's position as captain had been weakened by his choosing not to tour Bangladesh, Bayliss said: "No, not at all.
"He's been the captain for the last couple of years during a successful period in white-ball cricket.
"There have been no whispers around the squad or from anyone. In fact, everyone is looking forward to welcoming him back to the fold."
On Duckett's omission, Bayliss said: "He did extremely well in Bangladesh and that's a great sign for not only himself but for English cricket moving forward.
"He's certainly come up the pecking order. If we'd have let someone else out they'd have been desperately unlucky.
"The batters we have have been a part of the one day cricket in that successful period over the past two years. We wanted to keep things stable. "
England ODI squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), David Willey (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire).
T20 squad: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Tymal Mills (Sussex), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), David Willey (Yorkshire).
He was shot a number of times in his house at Glenwood Court, Poleglass.
The attack was reported to police at about 20:15 BST on Thursday and a murder investigation has been launched.
It is understood a second man who was in the house was tied up by the gang. The shooting was the second in the small estate in less than a week.
Last Sunday, another man was shot several times in the leg in a paramilitary-style attack in Glenwood Drive and on Wednesday a man was shot in the leg in Dungiven, County Londonderry.
Neighbours of Mr Reilly rushed over to try to help on Thursday night.
They described the victim as a quiet man who rarely left his home.
Sinn Féin MLA Jennifer McCann said there were "distressing scenes" as his family members arrived at the police cordon on Thursday night.
She said: "This brutal killing has achieved nothing other than plunging another family into grief and despair.
"This is a good community and there's no support for this."
Speaking to Good Morning Ulster about the murder, SDLP MLA Alex Attwood, said: "A gunman or gunmen turned up at a house and at least two shots were fired.
"The result is that one man is dead. His family are in deep distress and the community is tangibly shocked and shaken."
He said those involved "brutally undermined the rule of law".
Alliance MLA Trevor Lunn said he "totally condemned" the murder.
He said: "This follows another shooting in the same area last week and has now left a family without a loved one through the evil actions of others.
"My deepest condolences go to the family and friends of this man. The local community will be rightly shocked by this murder."
People Before Profit Councillor Matt Collins said he was "deeply disturbed by this senseless and unjustifiable attack".
Police said they were still trying to establish a motive for the murder and have appealed for witnesses.
Substitute Karina Maruyama drilled the winner past Germany goalkeeper Nadine Angerer in the 108th minute.
It was Germany's first World Cup defeat since they were beaten 3-2 by hosts the USA in the 1999 quarter-finals.
Japan will now face either Australia or Sweden, who meet on Sunday, in the semi-final in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
Germany put Japan under severe pressure in normal time, but in the second half of extra-time midfielder Homare Sawa picked out a deep run from Maruyama who slipped the ball under Angerer to silence a sell-out crowd of 26,067.
"This is what I feared would happen," admitted Germany coach Silvia Neid.
"We were off colour against the side ranked fourth in the world. We weren't able to score goals and we weren't precise enough in our execution. You always have to worry about a good counter-attack against the Japanese.
"It is of course very unfortunate and very sad."
The five men identify as members of the "Proud Boys", a right-wing group with chapters in the US and Canada.
They were suspended after they crashed a 1 July protest in Halifax, Nova Scotia marking Canada's history of atrocities against indigenous people.
After being reinstated, they were warned "further inappropriate behaviour could result in their termination".
On Thursday, the military announced that four of the five men had returned to duty in early August, and that the fifth man under review had voluntarily quit.
Rear-Admiral John Newton told reporters during a press conference that the men had displayed "behaviour inconsistent with the values and ethics expected of those in uniform" and that they would remain on probation.
"If they fail. they are gone," he said. "This is not lightweight punishment."
On Facebook, the Proud Boys describe themselves as "a fraternal organisation of Western Chauvinists who will no longer apologise for creating the modern world". Founded by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, members have organised rallies in Denver, Colorado and participated in recent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On 1 July, Canada Day, five members of the Canadian military interrupted an indigenous ceremony in Halifax carrying Canada's former national Red Ensign flag, which includes the Union Jack and went out of official use in 1965 after being replaced by the maple leaf design.
In a video of the incident, one woman is heard asking: "What caused you to feel the need to bring a British flag?"
One man responds: "Because it is a British colony."
"You are recognising your heritage and so are we," another says, before they depart without further incident.
The First Nations ceremony was held next to the statue of the city's founder, British military officer Edward Cornwallis.
Halifax is in the midst of a long debate over how the city commemorates Cornwallis, who in 1749 placed a bounty on the scalps of Mi'kmaq people after they rebelled against the British.
It hasn't been so cheap to visit the 19 countries that make up the eurozone since 2007.
Europe's economy growing more slowly than the UK and fears over Greece leaving the single currency are behind the rise.
It comes at the most popular time of year for young adults to book holidays.
Daisy Parker from travel association Abta says: "For the under-30s, with the pound at a seven-year high and day-to-day prices coming down in the eurozone, it's a great time to travel to Europe."
The pound is also currently struggling at it's lowest point for a year against the dollar making trips to the America more expensive.
So let's do some maths.
Say you planned to spend £500 during a trip to Spain.
That could get you up to 700 euros at the moment. Compare that to last year you'd be lucky to get near 600 euros.
For people buying bigger items like a car from Germany or a holiday home in France the difference can now run into thousands of pounds.
Some currency analysts expect things to get even better by the summer holidays.
RBS economist Sebastian Burnside says things can change quickly.
"So has it reached its peak? No-one knows for sure what will happen to currencies, but there'll be many more bumps in the road before a long-term solution to the Greek bailout crisis is reached.
"Recent history shows that the pound has benefited from that uncertainty."
If you plan on heading further away from home the pound is also flying strong against both the South African Rand and the Australian Dollar.
Eighteen months ago I reported from Sydney for Newsbeat about the expense of following the British and Irish Lions.
Back then you couldn't get much more than Aus $1.50 to the pound but now it's closer to Aus $2.00 making an expensive trip a touch more affordable.
The question arises should we wait for the pound to get stronger? That's a tricky one.
With a general election around the corner that brings uncertainty to the money markets no matter what the result.
There are also the other advantages to booking now according to Daisy Parker from Abta.
"Booking this far in advance gives you time to save for your holiday as well as the advantage of widespread availability, with your choice of where to stay much less restricted than booking last minute."
Of course it's important to remember that the place you exchange your money to go on holiday often makes just as big a dent as variations in the currency.

The oil company Infrastrata announced the news on its website on Thursday.
It said it was disappointed not to have found a "hydrocarbon accumulation" at the site at Woodburn forest near Carrickfergus.
Two areas the firm drilled to a depth of 2,000 metres underground had been "water wet," it said.
It said the well "will now be plugged and abandoned".
Protesters have opposed the drill operation, claiming it could impact the water supply to nearby reservoirs.
But Northern Ireland Water had said the project did not present any risk to the water supply.
James Orr, the Northern Ireland director of the environmental campaign group Friends Of The Earth, said the "earth has spoken".
"Today is a time for celebration - this is fantastic news for the community, our water, our climate and our wellbeing," he said.
"We feel vindicated that this harmful, worthless and ill-conceived project is now over.
"The democratic meltdown that allowed exploratory drilling in Woodburn can never repeated."
The overtime bill for the policing operation at the site came to almost £200,000.
Infrastrata said it would now evaluate the data before deciding where to focus its future exploration activity.
Buyer demand rose for the first time in seven months in September, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said.
It had dived in June and July during the height of the referendum battle and immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote.
The lack of properties coming onto the market means that prices have risen.
Members of Rics said that the average of 45 properties on estate agents books remained close to historic lows.
"The market does now appear to be settling down following the significant headwinds encountered through the spring and summer," said Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at Rics.
"Buyers do appear to be returning, albeit relatively slowly, but the big issue that continues to be highlighted by respondents is the lack of fresh stock on the market."
Over the next three months, surveyors predict that house prices will rise further on a national basis.
However, there remained a greater level of caution in central London where prices were expected to fall, albeit only modestly, over the same period, Rics said.
Recent surveys by mortgage lenders, the Halifax and Nationwide, suggested that annual increase in house prices had slowed in September compared with the previous month.
Where can I afford to live?
The clockwork figures known as automata were made between 1768 and 1774 and still work today.
They can write, draw pictures and even play music.
They were made from parts used in watches at the time by Swiss watchmaker Henri-Louis Jaquet-Droz and his family.
Originally they were created to show off the skill of the watchmakers.
They are made to be very lifelike so they appear to breathe, their eyes look at what they're doing and the woman robot moves in time to music she is playing.
Now they are on display at the Museum of Art History in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
It has been described as one of the firm's "worst ever" financial periods.
The annual accounts of Short Brothers PLC - the company's Northern Ireland operation - warn "challenges will continue".
The Canadian parent company required a £1bn bail-out last year, as problems with its CSeries aircraft brought the business to its knees.
In February, it announced more than 1,000 jobs would be lost in Belfast.
The accounts for its local division show a major reversal in fortunes from 2014, when Belfast posted a £73m operating profit.
The 2015 loss "effectively negates any profit the company has made this decade".
The losses mostly reflect "write-downs" on the CSeries programme - the wings for the aircraft are manufactured in east Belfast.
Paperwork filed with the accounts states: "The company is striving to win new contracts but ... it has been difficult to identify suitable new business.
"The current focus is to drive for further cost reduction, both internally and in our worldwide supply base."
More recently, Bombardier's fortunes have been boosted by a major order for CSeries from US airline Delta.
The Spaniard, who will join Ducati in 2017, produced a good start from pole position and led throughout.
Three-time champion Lorenzo, 29, ended the 30-lap race 1.19 seconds ahead of Honda's Marc Marquez and 6.60secs in front of Andrea Iannone of Ducati.
Marquez, 23, had already sealed his third world championship title with three races of the season to spare.
He paid the price for a slow start at Circuito Ricardo Tormo, and while he battled to finish second, Lorenzo made the most of the open track to move into a five-second lead.
As Lorenzo's front tyre showed wear late on, Marquez ate into the advantage but could not overhaul the 2015 champion.
In a farewell letter to Yamaha issued earlier this week, Lorenzo said his nine years with the team were "unrepeatable" and "unforgettable".
The result means he ends the 18-round season third in the championship table, behind Marquez and Yamaha's Valentino Rossi, who finished fourth on the day.
Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa crashed out on his return, just four weeks after he fractured his collarbone, leg and foot in a crash in Japan.

Militants had plotted to car-bomb a World Cup 2018 qualifying game between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in October, it says.
The authorities also say they have foiled a second plot directed by Islamic State (IS) militants to kill security officials near Riyadh.
Eight suspects have been arrested from two "terrorist cells", offficials say.
Among them are Saudi nationals, two Pakistanis, a Syrian and a Sudanese, the Saudi interior ministry says.
It has also published a list of several more suspects wanted for their alleged involvement in planning attacks in the eastern cities of Qatif and Dammam.
Saudi Arabia has been the target of attacks by IS over the past two years.
In July, a suicide bomber killed four security officers and injured five others near one of Islam's holiest sites, in the city of Medina.
In June, the interior ministry said there had been 26 "terror attacks" in the kingdom during that month.
William Lound, 30, from Birkdale on Merseyside, was found with multiple injuries inside a flat in Bramall Court, Cannon Street, on Monday.
A post-mortem examination concluded the University of Salford student died from stab wounds to the back and neck.
Lee Arnold, 36, of no fixed address, has been charged with murder.
In a statement, Mr Lound's family said he was "so well liked and respected by so many" because of his "very interesting character and great sense of humour".
"William had just embarked on a very promising future, which would have enabled him finally to reach his potential," they said.
"He would have been a great asset in the IT world had he not been taken from us so early."
It said online trading had been hit by tougher regulation and "the worst Cheltenham results in recent history".
It now expects full-year operating profit to be between £260m and £280m, down from £291.4m last year. As a result, the FTSE 250 company saw its shares drop nearly 40p to 331p.
However, the benchmark FTSE 100 ended flat, up 6.4 points at 6199.1.
Top riser on the FTSE 100 was B&Q owner Kingfisher. Its shares finished up 6% despite reporting a 20% drop in full-year profits to £512m.
However, when restructuring costs were stripped out, underlying profits were a better-than-expected £686m.
William Hill said there were two main factors behind the weaker-than-expected performance from its online business.
It said it had seen "an acceleration in the number of time-outs and automatic self-exclusions over recent weeks", measures which allow punters to halt gambling with a bookmaker.
William Hill said that while the trend was "still evolving, we estimate that, should these trends persist around current levels, the consequent lower revenues will reduce online's profits by £20-25m in 2016".
Secondly, its profit margins were lower than expected because of European football results and last week's Cheltenham horseracing festival, where bookmakers were hit by large a number of favourites winning races.
William Hill said that despite its online problems, the broader group continued "to trade well" and was in line with expectations.
The company also said it was in "advanced discussions" to invest in Openbet, a gaming software firm.
Elsewhere on the London market, shares in Sports Direct were having another bad day, down a further 5.6% after dropping about 10% on Tuesday.
Earlier the retailer had issued a statement saying that it expected full-year underlying earnings to be "at or around the bottom" of a previously estimated range. The statement was issued following comments that founder Mike Ashley made to the Times newspaper on Tuesday.
On the currency markets, the pound remained weak after having fallen sharply on Tuesday in the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels, which were seen as increasing the likelihood of the UK voting to leave the EU.
On Wednesday, sterling fell almost 1% against the dollar to $1.4087. Against the euro, it lost 0.4% to €1.2623.
Kevin de Bruyne's clinical finish gave City the lead after Joe Hart saved Zlatan Ibrahimovic's penalty for PSG.
Ibrahimovic capitalised on Fernando's error to equalise and Adrien Rabiot tapped in after the break to put French champions PSG in front.
Fernandinho's scuffed effort gave City a potentially vital second away goal.
The second leg takes place at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, 12 April.
Teams who have drawn the first leg 2-2 away from home in European competition have progressed on 220 out of 277 previous occasions - a 79.4% success rate.
Listen: 'If you can't beat them, join them. Aguero must go down.'
This fixture was touted as a battle of Europe's richest clubs, with both sides backed by wealthy Middle-Eastern owners - PSG's from Qatar and Manchester City's from the United Arab Emirates.
While the teams have spent a reported £800m between them on players in the past five years, the game, which was entertaining, lacked the quality expected from such blue-chip line-ups.
Fernando's mistake for PSG's equaliser was a prime example.
The Brazilian collected the ball from Hart on the edge of his own penalty area and, while trying to flick a pass with the outside of his foot, directed the ball off Ibrahimovic's boot and into an empty net.
It undid the superb work of Hart to save Ibrahimovic's penalty low to his right - after David Luiz was tripped by Bacary Sagna - and De Bruyne's powerful finish from a tight angle following Fernandinho's surge forward.
Former Chelsea defender Luiz will be banned for the return leg after being shown a yellow card 12 seconds into the game, as will midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
Manuel Pellegrini's side were fortunate to be in a position to salvage a draw as the fragile defence that has contributed to their disappointing Premier League campaign continued to look unstable.
Their deficiencies without injured captain and centre-back Vincent Kompany have been well documented, and they have now managed only one clean sheet in nine Champions League games this term.
Rabiot, who had a brief spell in the City youth set-up, made the most of non-existent marking to score at the back post after Hart parried Ibrahimovic's header into his path.
Ibrahimovic had missed a clear chance when through on goal and also headed against the crossbar in the second half.
In the second leg, Pellegrini may want to re-assess the 4-4-2 formation that saw his side press PSG high up the pitch, with left-back Gael Clichy exposed by David Silva's unfamiliarity with his position on the left of midfield.
But Pellegrini remains in a strong position to secure a Champions League semi-final - and perhaps title - for City, before being replaced by Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola in the summer.
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "A very close game right to the end. The quarter-final continues to be open but this is a good result for us.
"We made a couple of important mistakes for the first goal and the second goal was offside.
"If we want to win, we cannot make those kind of mistakes. But we are trying to win the game from the first minute - it is the way we play."
Before the return leg, Man City host West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday, the same day PSG travel to Guingamp, having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with six more games remaining.

Murray beat Millman 6-3 7-5 6-2, after the world number 67 put up some stern resistance on Centre Court.
The Scot is the highest seed in the draw at number two following Djokovic's loss to American Sam Querrey.
Murray will face another Australian, Nick Kyrgios, or Spain's Feliciano Lopez in round four on Monday.
"I thought it was a good match, a lot of long rallies. John moves well and doesn't make too many unforced errors," Murray told BBC Sport.
"When you go indoors it slows the conditions down a bit so it wasn't easy to hit too many winners.
"I had to be patient and played some good stuff in the third set."
Centre Court felt unusually like a sideshow for the first two sets with Djokovic struggling over on court one - news of the top seed's defeat drew a huge cheer when it flashed up on the scoreboard.
Murray appeared not to notice as he sat during the changeover, with the task at hand occupying his thoughts as Millman proved a stubborn opponent.
The match was unexpectedly interrupted by rain before the decision was made to bring the roof across and Murray required two breaks of serve to clinch the first set.
A fierce return on the baseline gave Murray a seemingly decisive lead at 4-3 in the second but Millman would not go away, breaking the Briton as he served for the set and levelling at 5-5.
There were fist pumps on both sides of the net in a gripping 11th game of the set before Murray finally converted his fifth chance, his support team getting to their feet to urge on their man from the player box.
Murray closed out the set from 15-30 and then raced 4-0 clear on his way to taking the third, and securing a place in week two without dropping a set.
Richard Krajicek, 1996 Wimbledon champion, on BBC Radio: "Now I would be very happy if I was Ivan Lendl, especially with the way Andy played after dropping his serve when he was serving for the second set."
Jim Courier, former world number one, on BBC TV: "Murray unscathed, untroubled, unworried and looking good. It was a terrific effort from John Millman, at the end of that second set he challenged Murray from 5-3 down."

After two penalties for each side, Gagai ran 80 metres for a try put Queensland 10-4 ahead at half-time.
Gagai touched down again early in the second half, before Tyson Frizell went over to give the away side hope.
But tries from Gagai and Conor Oates either side of James Maloney's score for Blues secured the hosts' victory.
Gagai's hat-trick was the first in an Origin game since Matt King scored three tries for New South Wales in the deciding game of the 2005 series.
However, he was almost denied his opening try as he was brought down five metres short of the line by Frizell, but the Newcastle Knights winger's momentum carried him over for the score.
The 25-year-old's second try was equally impressive, as he reached back to claw in a high one-handed catch and slide over in the corner.
Frizell, who became the first Wales international to feature in the State of Origin series, powered over from close range shortly after, but Gagai touched down Johnathan Thurston's grubber kick to give Queensland a lead that proved insurmountable.
Queensland: Boyd; Oates, Inglis, O'Neill, Gagai; Thurston, Cronk; Scott, Smith, McGuire, Gillett, Thaiday, Parker.
Replacements: Morgan, Lillyman, Guerra, Papalii.
New South Wales: Moylan; Ferguson, Jennings, Walker, Mansour; Maloney, Reynolds; Woods, Farah, Tamou, Frizell, Jackson, Gallen.
Replacements: Bird, Klemmer, Fifita, Bird.
Referee: Gerard Sutton
Julien Moreau, 27, started the swim on Tuesday and finished the 38.5 mile (62km) journey at Sillon beach on Saturday.
He said he was doing the swim to raise awareness of ocean pollution.
In 2015, Wendy Trehiou, from Jersey, swam the distance in the opposite direction from St Malo to Jersey.
Mr Moreau wrote on the Julien Moreau - Adventures : "Everything is possible, and now it's official, I am the first and only person to swim from Jersey to Saint-Malo.
"I am very proud of the team ‪#‎swim4ocean‬. We worked with intelligence, cohesion and determination."
Mr Moreau started the challenge on Tuesday and swam six to eight hours a day before resting on board the Sea Shepherd boat that accompanied him on his journey.
The most popular Channel swim is the 21 miles (33.8km) route between Dover and Cap Gris Nez.
He told mourners at Laigh Kirk in Paisley, Scotland, that Ms Jones, 28, was very supportive after he witnessed a child dying in an accident.
He had questioned whether he would be able to carry out such a funeral.
"She said to me: 'In tragedy, it is never God's will. God's is the first heart to break and God is the first to shed a tear.'
"We rejoice she is now safe."
Helen grew up in Templand and left Lockerbie Academy with straight As in all her Higher exams.
She was such a brilliant scholar that she began studying divinity at Aberdeen University, aged just 16. She went on to achieve a first-class honours degree.
After this, she took a gap year with the Glasgow City Mission, working with drug addicts, prostitutes and the homeless. During the year, she also went to the US city of Denver to work for a sister organisation on an exchange.
She felt called to the Church of Scotland ministry, but feeling she wanted some "real life" experience before seeking selection, she trained as a chartered accountant in 1998 with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Glasgow.
There, she was known as "Sherlock Jones" due to her ability to sniff out accountancy errors.
In 2002, she moved to London and took up work in the strategic and commercial intelligence department with KPMG, then moved to Phoenix Equity Partners, a job she said she adored.
She lived in Holloway, north London, where she had bought a flat only two weeks before she died.
The last contact she had was with her boyfriend, Clive Brooks, just before she got on the Piccadilly Line that morning.
Her mother Liz Staffell and stepfather David Gould travelled to London to try to find her, but later gave up clinging to the slim hope she was still alive.
Her family said she was a "shining star" who loved parties and traditional folk music.
In a statement, her mother and stepfather said: "Wherever Helen went, she gathered up groups of people and organised them. Helen loved being with people, and was determined always to be involved and involving.
"It was impossible not to like her. She was big-hearted, warm, humorous and downright likeable. She drew people to herself in a unique way. She loved people and people loved her."
At the inquests her mother said a colleague recalled that a typical quiet evening meal out could end up involving most of the restaurant's other customers as she gathered complete strangers up into an amusing anecdote session.
They said Helen loved travelling and her holidays had taken her all round the world, from Australia to Iceland, from the Caribbean to Sweden.
"Into a busy life, Helen had packed more living, more loving and more giving than many of us will achieve in a very long life.
"One phrase has been oft repeated by friends and colleagues alike - her being in a situation made a considerable difference."
Her mother told the inquests that friends and family had contributed to a book of memories about Helen, and her own entry read: "We are infinitely poorer for having lost Helen. We are all infinitely richer for having known and loved her."
Her former neighbour of three years, Julie Roberts, said: "She was a very lively person, she had lots and lots of friends and was a fantastic friend and neighbour. She also used to throw great parties!
"She was extremely intelligent and successful and very, very kind."
Miss Roberts said when water leaked from her flat into Miss Jones's, blew her electrics and caused her kitchen ceiling to collapse, she just laughed and they drank gin and tonics into the early hours.
"I think that is indicative of her attitude to life.
"She was a strong person with an enormous sense of fun and nothing was ever too much trouble. She is very sorely missed."
Three appeals have been launched in her memory.
Donations of £1,026 from Helen's funeral were given to the Glasgow City Mission.
Work on the Eden Valley Hospice Children's Unit in Carlisle started following a £141,000 donation from her last employer, with some £6,000 given by others. The unit opened in December 2007.
The Helen Jones Appeal Fund was launched by the Scottish Trust for Education and Research with assistance of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland to provide grants for young people in Dumfries and Galloway who wish to become accountants.
Citrus County Sheriff's Office said the anonymous woman had used a specialist scent preservation kit.
It can hold a person's scent for up to seven years.
In a Facebook post police said she stored the scent two-and-a-half years ago, and a picture of the jar showed it was dated January 2015.
Scent preservation kits involve rubbing a pad on a person's underarm, then sealing it in a sterile jar so police dogs have a reliable scent to smell before looking for a missing person.
Manufacturers say they work better and more quickly than articles of clothing, because they are not contaminated by other people's smells or smells from the environment.
Dogs have a stronger sense of smell than humans and working police dogs are trained to sniff out drugs, people and in some cases corpses.
Some police forces around the world, including in China and Germany, have held scent samples from criminal suspects and crime scenes to help in their investigations.
But there are concerns over a high failure rate; in 2006 it was found that only a quarter of people indicated by dogs in New South Wales, Australia, turned out to be carrying drugs when they were searched.
In this case, though, the missing person was found and the dog earned a celebratory ice cream.
A few feet away, a young white man with a buzzed haircut and sunglasses leaned towards them over a facing barrier. "You'll be on the first f*****g boat home," he screamed at the black woman, before turning to the white woman. "And as for you, you're going straight to hell," he said. Then he gave a Nazi salute.
For the third time in a few months, white nationalists had descended on the small, liberal city of Charlottesville in the southern state of Virginia, to protest against the planned removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E Lee.
This time they came under the banner of the so-called "alt-right", for a rally they called "Unite the Right". They were a motley crew of militia, racists, and neo-Nazis, and some who said they simply wanted to defend their Southern history.
They gathered early in the morning at Emancipation Park - formerly Lee Park - where the statue sits, some dressed in full tactical gear and openly carrying rifles. Others wore black shirts, helmets, and boots.
In a column they surged into the park, using sticks and their fists to shove aside anti-fascist counter-protesters. Then they blocked off the entrance with shields. Inside, David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, grinned and waved as the crowd, almost entirely white and male, cheered him on, chanting his name and putting their arms up in Nazi salutes.
They had reason to be pleased. They were in the middle of the largest gathering of white nationalists in America for decades.
In the park, in a pen ringed by steel barriers, they shouted anti-immigrant, anti-semitic and racist slogans and targeted white women counter-protesters, calling them "traitors" who "needed to get subjugated". Outside, anti-fascist protesters threw bottles of water at the white nationalists and chanted "Off our streets, Nazi scum". Pepper spray, used by both sides, filled the air.
Eventually, riot police moved into the park and the streets around it, pushing everyone back. The governor of Virginia declared a state of emergency and the rally was cancelled. The national guard began to close off the area, but not before a driver ploughed into a crowd of counter-protesters two blocks away, killing a young woman and injuring 19 others.
Twenty-four hours earlier, Reverend Brenda Brown-Grooms closed her eyes and prayed for peace. Sitting in a side room at St Paul's Memorial Church, while volunteers undertook non-violent resistance training next door, she prepared herself for a "reckoning" the following day in her home town.
"This is physically a very beautiful place, it has always been my template for what a city should look like," she said. "But I've always understood that this beautiful place is also quite ugly. And the statue has become the match point for that ugliness."
Reverend Brown-Grooms was born in Charlottesville in 1955. She grew up in Vinegar Hill, a black neighbourhood since razed to the ground in one of a series of redevelopment programmes that pushed the black community out of the city and into housing projects.
As a girl, under segregation, she did not dare set foot in the white neighbourhood which was home to Emancipation Park - then Lee Park - and she had never been there until May, when the KKK came to town and lit torches under the statue.
"This summer has been one long prayer here in Charlottesville," she said. "And now today we are praying again, we are praying that the alt-right don't start something tonight, ahead of the rally."
Within a few hours, her prayer went unanswered. About 200 white nationalists gathered after dark in Nameless Park, down the road from where she sat, and marched through the University of Virginia campus holding torches and chanting racist slogans.
At the base of the university's statue of Thomas Jefferson, on the Main Street side of the campus, they clashed with university students who had come to confront them. The air was hot from the torches and acrid from smoke.
"The heat here is nothing compared to what you're going to get in the ovens," shouted Robert Ray, a writer for the white supremacist website Daily Stormer. "It's coming," he spat.
"White supremacists walking through my university with torches, I never thought I'd have to see this in America in my lifetime," said one of the counter-protesters, a student who did not want to be named.
Directly across the street that night, at St Paul's, more than 500 people were packed into the church for a multi-faith service. There were readings from the Bible and the Koran, spirituals sung by a choir, and a speech by activist and Harvard professor Dr Cornel West that drew everyone in the house to their feet in applause.
"It is bleak that we are about to see the largest neo-fascist gathering in decades, but it is also a joy to be able to struggle against it, to bear witness to it," said Dr West after the service.
"The alt-right is a new danger. We have a right-wing gangster in the White House who emboldens them, who empowers them. So they feel they have permission for their hate to come out in public, and maybe even harm others. We are in a dangerous moment."
As the service drew to a close, and the last spirituals were sung, the congregation filed slowly out of a side door to avoid the white nationalists who were walking back up Main Street.
The speakers booked for the rally in Charlottesville were all men. The people who came to attend the rally were almost all men, and across the country the following of the so-called "alt-right" is overwhelmingly male.
One of the few women who speaks regularly at white nationalist events is Avialae Horton, a 20-year-old from Georgia who is editor of the Revolutionary Conservative, an online, right-wing newspaper with a mission to "defend Western civilisation".
The members of the "new-right" are being unfairly branded as "Nazis and fascists", she said in Charlottesville ahead of the rally. "We stand in confidence in our convictions, irrespective of what others think of that. And I absolutely believe that we have been misrepresented."
The three women from the Revolutionary Conservative who flew into the city preach what they call "racial realism", which they say is not racism.
"It's natural for people to want to be with their own kind, and to look to their own interests," said RS McCoy, another member of staff from the paper, who flew in from California.
"We're going to care about our interests first, black people are going to care about their interests first, and even moving outside of race into things like LGBT, they're going to care about their interests first. And that is not bad, it doesn't have to be demonised."
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, more than 60 Confederate monuments or symbols have been removed or renamed since the 2015 massacre of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, by white supremacist Dylann Roof.
The removals were stripping away American history, Ms McCoy said, and depriving black Americans of the chance to learn their own history.
"If we look at it from their perspective even, which is you know - Oh we've had slavery and racism and all these horrible things and we want to make this go away, so we're going to tear down monuments and rename all these streets - how are future generations going to learn?"
Standing in the middle of Emancipation Park on Friday, looking up at the statue of Robert E Lee, the city's Deputy Mayor, Wes Bellamy, took a different view.
Mr Bellamy is the first black deputy mayor of the city. A sharply-dressed, outgoing character, emphatic in his desire to see the statue removed - "155%" - he has become a lightning rod for people who believe their heritage is being torn up.
"I get hate mail and death threats every day. I've been told I will be hung from this statue. I've been told I will be hung from the trees in this park," he said.
"But that lets you know what you're doing is right. How can you have a 28ft statue to a man who, if he were alive today, I would not be allowed to look in the eye? Who, if he were walking down the street, would make me walk off the sidewalk? How can we have that statue here, if we are to be an equitable city?"
Mr Bellamy stopped in the park to speak to residents, who congratulated him on passing his doctorate that day, and to local police officers, some of whom he knew by name. Then he headed off, under strict instructions from police, as the white nationalists came into town, to keep his whereabouts on Saturday a secret.
As the National Guard closed down the streets around Emancipation Park on Saturday evening, the protesters dissipated into smaller skirmishes nearby. Daryl Vaughan, 24, who came from Newcastle, Virginia to join the white nationalists, got caught alone, surrounded by anti-fascist protesters who beat him, kicking him in the face and chest as he lay on the ground.
Bloodied, he retreated to a side street. "They've come here to take my history away, to make my history look bad," he said. "Black lives matter, that's bullshit to me."
Several hundred white nationalists moved north and gathered in McIntyre Park but soon they left, marching back along the highway to their cars, while passing drivers honked in support or hurled abuse at them.
Slowly the chaos and violence of earlier gave way to reflection and to tragedy. A 32-year-old woman had been killed, run over by a man who ploughed into peaceful counter-protesters on the street near Emancipation Park, and who was later arrested and charged with murder.
In a separate incident, two state police employees died when their helicopter, which had hovered over downtown Charlottesville for most of the day observing the rally, crashed.
"Condolences to the family of the young woman killed today, and best regards to all of those injured, in Charlottesville, Virginia. So sad!," the president tweeted.
It was left to Terry McAuliffe, the governor of Virginia, to condemn the white nationalists that poured into the city from around the country. "Go home," he said at a press conference. "There is no place for you here."
Three years ago, Charlottesville was named America's happiest city by the US National Bureau of Economic Research. "Joy Town, USA", the media called it.
But spirits were low around Joy Town on Saturday. "I wonder if Charlottesville will ever be the same after this," Henry McHenry, 63, a 30-year resident, said dejectedly. "We must get past this state of us against them."
Late on Saturday night, after a day that began with a dawn service at 06:00, Reverend Brown-Grooms tried to reckon with what she had seen on the streets of her city that day.
"I come from a people who were enslaved, and if you are going to make it through that misery, there has to be a spirit which allows you to see past what your eyes see in front of you and what your ears hear, and to understand how hope forms in your heart," she said.

The 1951 film, notable for its score by George and Ira Gershwin, follows a GI falling in love in post-war Paris.
The stage adaptation will include the famous 16-minute ballet sequence between Kelly and co-star Lesley Caron, reconceived by director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.
The musical is expected to transfer to Broadway in 2015.
The estates of the Gershwin brothers have been trying to develop a stage musical of An American in Paris for two decades, hoping to recreate the success of 1992's Tony-winning musical Crazy for You and last year's adaptation of Porgy and Bess.
At their suggestion, US producer Stuart Oken and partner Van Kaplan have joined forces with Jean-Luc Choplin, of Paris' Theatre du Chatelet - where the musical will open - who was separately seeking the rights for a stage adaptation.
"The Chatelet is more than a place to do the show," Mr Oken told the New York Times, "Though who wouldn't want to do An American in Paris in Paris, and to bring that feel to our show."
Casting has yet to be announced.
Wheeldon, a star at New York's City Ballet, previously created a ballet set to the music of the film for the company.
The choreographer, who has never previously directed on Broadway, remains best known for his work on the 2002 musical adaptation Sweet Smell of Success.
The commemorative wheelbarrow and spade were made to mark the first sod being cut on Llanfyllin Railway in 1861.
The final sale price was £1,100 more than the minimum guide price of £3,000.
The line opened from Llanymynech in 1863 to provide access to limestone quarries and the main line.
Halls auctioneers at Shrewsbury expected interest from specialist collectors as the items were commissioned by Victorian railway engineer Thomas Savin.
In 1857, Mr Savin formed a partnership to build the Vale of Clwyd Railway and became principle contractor for many of the lines that became the Cambrian Railways.
His bankruptcy in 1866 led to the stalling of Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway, which became a part of Cambrian Railways, said Halls fine art director Jeremy Lamond.
"Railway heritage items with this level of provenance always attract great interest from collectors and we were delighted with the price it achieved at auction," said Mr Lamond.
Milo Yiannopoulos, 32, is an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump.
Hundreds of students rallied on Wednesday night. At least one fire was started and riot police used tear gas as the campus was put on lockdown.
Mr Trump later threatened to withdraw federal funds from the university if it "does not allow free speech".
The president suggested it was condoning those who practice "violence on innocent people with a different point of view".
Analysis - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News North America Reporter
You can imagine how it probably went down. Donald Trump woke up in the White House, turned on Fox News and saw images of black-clad anarchists clashing with police on the campus of the University of California - Berkeley.
By 6:13 am ET (11:13 GMT), he had fired off a tweet condemning the university's handling of the incident and threatening to cut off the school's federal funds. (It received $370m (£294m) in federal research grants in 2014-2015).
The violence - which occurred during larger protests against a campus speaking engagement by alt-right writer and provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos - resulted in the university cancelling the event, which prompted Mr Trump's accusations of free speech infringement.
During the 2016 Republican primary campaign, Mr Trump called off one of his own campaign rallies in Chicago because of violent protests outside the venue.
In the days that followed, his team defended the decision as a logical move based on public safety concerns.
That may explain why president seemed a bit uncertain in this recent Twitter fusillade. Unlike many of his all-cap attacks, he ended his threat to withhold federal funds with a question mark, not an exclamation point.
Mr Yiannopoulos later told Fox News that he had been rushed to safety by his security team after protesters began hurling rocks.
"Obviously it's a liberal campus so they hate any libertarians or conservatives who dare to express an opinion on their campuses," he said.
"They particularly don't like me," he added.
Mr Yiannopoulos' comments have been criticised as racist and misogynist.
Last year he was banned from Twitter after leading a campaign against Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones.
Berkeley College Republicans sponsored Mr Yiannopoulos' visit.
Their spokesman, Pieter Sittler, said they didn't agree with everything he said, but "he gives a voice to repressed conservative thought on American college campuses".
UC Berkeley stressed that it had not invited Mr Yiannopoulos, but had rejected earlier calls to cancel the event.
Protests began peacefully earlier on Wednesday. But demonstrators later broke windows at the hall where the talk was due to be held, threw smoke bombs and started a fire on Sproul Plaza.
Protest organiser Yvette Felarca defended the demonstration, describing the actions of students as "self-defence".
"We have the right to defend ourselves," she said, adding: "This shutting down Milo Yiannopoulos, and doing whatever's necessary to do that, is our right to self-defence."
But some of the students at the university said the behaviour of a number of demonstrators was "absolutely horrific".
"It's horrible. It's disgusting, what's going on right now. It's one thing to protest someone's right to come here and speak, but it's another thing to create this much amount of destruction and violence," said student Pranav Jandhyala.
Another, Colin Duke, said: "I just came to see if I could get into the Milo event. I support free speech. It's Sproul Plaza, so the birthplace of campus free speech. And it just got shut down by a bunch of people in black cloth."
University spokesman Dan Moulof said the protest had been hijacked by a small number of masked agitators.
"What's really unfortunate tonight is that the violent actions of a very few interfered with the desires of the many to participate in legal and lawful protest," Mr Moulof said.
Mr Yiannopoulos is a senior editor of Breitbart News, the most-read conservative news website in the US.
Breitbart, which has been accused by some of being a hate site, makes no secret of its close links to Mr Trump.
In November, in an interview with the BBC's James Cook, Mr Yiannopoulos said that despite attempts to silence him, the "alt-right is unstoppable".
"I want to desensitise people to this offence-taking, grievance and victimhood culture, and if the way to respond to outrage culture is to be outrageous - which seems to be working... I'm winning on college campuses to be sure - then so much the better," he said.
On Mr Trump's inauguration day last month, a supporter of the president shot a man protesting against a visit by Mr Yiannopoulos to the University of Washington in Seattle.
The gunman was not charged with a crime, after police determined he acted in self-defence.
His Facebook profile indicated that he was also a supporter of the controversial Breitbart editor and the National Rifle Association.
Wednesday's no-show by Mr Yiannopoulos is not his first campus cancellation.
Last November, his old school cancelled a talk he had been due to give.
The Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, England, said they took the decision partly because of the threat of demonstrations.
The plans by property investor Formal Investments include a new-build on Bath Street with 130,000 sq ft of office space.

The properties were acquired last year by Formal Investments.

First there was his statement that the Irish government was considering setting up an all-island forum to discuss the implications of the Brexit vote in advance of a meeting of the North South Ministerial Council.
But he had to step back from that once the Northern Ireland First Minister and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader, Arlene Foster, said she had not been consulted in advance and saw no need for such a new body.
Then there was the decision by three Independent Irish government ministers to vote in favour of a bill - it was defeated - to allow abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities and in so doing ignore the advice of the Republic of Ireland's Attorney General about the constitutionality of the measure.
Many have criticised the Independent ministers of also ignoring the doctrine of collective cabinet responsibility and setting a bad precedent despite the "new politics" associated with the minority government, which is dependent on the support of the main opposition party, Fianna Fáil, in votes of confidence and on financial matters.
And after that, there was the re-appointment of the former Children's Minister, Dr James Reilly, who lost his seat in the general election, as the party's deputy leader - much to the surprise of most of the Fine Gael parliamentary party.
Mr Kenny had already indicated before the current Fine Gael minority government was formed at the beginning of May that he would not lead his party into the next election but said he would serve a full term as taoiseach.
This week, for the first time in years, his leadership was raised at Fine Gael's parliamentary party by a former junior minister, Fergus O'Dowd.
The following day another TD, Jim Daly, told the Republic of Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ that he expected Mr Kenny to go after the budget due in the autumn, but which will not be fully enacted until the spring.
Since then a number of Fine Gael TDs and ministers have privately told journalists that they too expect a new leader early next year.
An opinion poll in the Irish Times has suggested that the public's choice to replace Mr Kenny is Leo Varadkar, the Minister for Social Protection, ahead of Simon Coveney, the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.
But Mr Kenny's supporters have been saying that with the Brexit vote, now is not the time to change leader.
They say that he has a close relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who he will meet in Berlin next week, which should be used to protect Ireland's interests north and south.
Others counter that this relationship has not yet led to the promised "game changer" and European re-capitalisation of Irish banks.
Whatever the truth of either claim it seems unlikely Enda Kenny will be taoiseach by the time the Brexit negotiations have concluded.
The sound of the ticking clock on his premiership is a lot louder this week than it was even a week ago.

The winner will be announced at a dinner in Prague on 13 June.
Andy Murray was rarely out of the headlines last year with victories at Wimbledon and the Rio Olympics as well as finishing 2016 top of the men's tennis rankings and then being awarded a knighthood.
But who will make 2017 their year?
In a month's time, Scotland will begin their Six Nations campaign against Ireland and all the home nations will be looking to impress ahead of the Lions' tour to New Zealand this summer.
Phil Goodlad: "Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray are the leading prospects for Scottish involvement in the Lions tour. Hogg travelled four years ago as back-up but in 2017 his pace, running lines and booming clearance kicks for both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland could be potential weapons for the tourists."
Andy Burke: "Hogg stands out as the best hope of a Scot starting in a Lions Test for the first time since 2001. If he performs to his scintillating best in the Six Nations then the Lions 15 jersey should be his."
Tom English: "Gray's excellence has been long appreciated in Scottish rugby but now the rest of the hemisphere is catching up. Competition for places in the Lions second row is massive, Gray is in with a huge chance of being on the plane to New Zealand."
Phil Goodlad: "In the boiler house Gray is a work horse. Tireless at the breakdown and adds huge grunt around the park. Never gives up which is exactly what Warren Gatland's men will have to do if they are to make an impression this summer."
And, closer to home, Clive Lindsay adds: "Edinburgh full-back Blair Kinghorn is likely to receive his first Scotland cap this year."
Scotland's women's and men's national football teams had contrasting fortunes in 2016. Anna Signeul's side sealed a place at Euro 2017 in the Netherlands - a first major tournament for Scotland women.
Chris McLaughlin: "Great chance for one of the world's best players, Kim Little, to shine at a major competition. The 26-year-old Arsenal Ladies midfielder already has 117 international caps to her name and has been widely tipped to be one of the key players in the Netherlands."
David Currie: "Glasgow City goalkeeper Gemma Fay could earn her 200th international cap this year - she has 193 at the moment. Scotland will need her to be in top form at Euro 2017. The Scots face England, ranked fourth in the world, Spain - 14th - and Portugal in the group stage."
In the men's game, Gordon Strachan's side have had a disappointing start to their qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, taking four points from a possible 12 so far. However, Celtic's Stuart Armstrong and Hearts' Jamie Walker are among the Scottish midfielders coming to the fore in the build-up to March's meeting with Slovenia.
Chris McLaughlin: "Armstrong is a young confidence player who is now oozing self belief. Totally transformed under manager Brendan Rodgers, Armstrong is now having the kind of effect at Celtic that he had at Dundee United. If he continues to develop and finally breaks into the international set-up, the Scottish champions could struggle to hold on to him."
Liam McLeod says of Armstrong: "Scotland call-up. Watch this space."
Richard Wilson: "Hearts' most creative player, Jamie Walker, is maturing into an integral part of the Tynecastle side. He is currently the team's top scorer and with his ability to break opposition defences with his passing or running with the ball, he could progress into the Scotland squad in the next 12 months."
Scotland's athletes are between the Olympics and next year's Commonwealth Games but there are European and world events on the horizon.
Jane Lewis: "Laura Muir has already proved herself as a world-class athlete, although 2016 was a mixed year. She broke British records and won the Diamond League title, however there was disappointment at the Olympics in Rio. But Muir is a strong, gutsy character and will no doubt use that to spur her on to further success in 2017. The European Indoor Championships take place in Belgrade in March and then a home World Championships in August await."
Kheredine Idessane: "Andrew Butchart had a breakthrough year in 2016, in which he finished sixth in the Olympic 5,000m final in Rio (won by Mo Farah) and also broke long-standing Scottish records over 3,000m and 5,000m. He'll be a strong medal contender for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast. From Dunblane, Butchart is a friend of the Murrays, and his girlfriend Caitlin is the step-daughter of Andy Murray's dad, Will."
Jane Lewis: "Callum Hawkins had an impressive 2016 and as a result has already been selected for Great Britain at this summer's World Championships in London. The Kilbarchan long-distance runner finished ninth in the Rio Olympics marathon and capped off a great year by winning the Great Scottish Run half-marathon in Glasgow. The 24-year-old gets his 2017 season up and running at the Edinburgh International Cross Country on Saturday."
Tom English: "2016 was a wretched year for golfer Stephen Gallacher, his form falling off a cliff partly because of a persistent wrist injury. The end of the year suggested he's on his way back, though. His last four tournaments have been promising. Every week is a big week in 2017."
Andy Burke: "Described as 'the finest young talent Scotland has had since Ken Buchanan' by his manager Barry McGuigan, boxer Josh Taylor captured the Commonwealth super lightweight title by stopping Dave Ryan in October and will make his Las Vegas debut later this month on the undercard of the re-match between Carl Frampton and Leo Santa Cruz. A potential all-Scottish showdown with Ricky Burns also looms in the distance, though perhaps not this year."
Jane Lewis: "Duncan Scott already has two Olympic silver medals and he's only 19 years old. The Stirling University swimmer helped Team GB to relay success in the 4x200m freestyle and the 4x100m medley in Rio. His reputation is growing fast and he'll now want to further prove himself among the best. The British Swimming trials in April will be used as selection trials for the World Championships in Budapest in July."
David Currie: "Paul Foster has won the Indoor Bowls World Championships four times already, his new fitness regime might just help him to win it again later this month in Norfolk. He might have to beat five-time winner and best pal Alex 'Tattie' Marshall to do it."
Connor Hughes, from Altan Close, Dunmurry, on the outskirts of the city, denied two charges linked to the seizure on 27 March, 2014.
Although few details emerged during the brief hearing at Belfast Crown Court, it is understood the device was found in a holdall in Shaw's Road.
Bomb disposal officers made it safe.
Mr Hughes was charged with possessing an improvised explosive device, that was to be detonated by a command wire, with intent to endanger life or cause injury to property.
He was also denied possessing the explosives in suspicious circumstances, on the same date - 27 March, 2014.
He pleaded not guilty to both charges and was remanded back into custody.
The case is due to be mentioned again in court on 28 January.
Whiteley, 28, failed to take his chance when called up by England Lions in 2015-16, making just 62 runs in five matches and 78 in four List A games.
But hitting six sixes in an over against Yorkshire on Sunday has brought him back into the spotlight.
"I hope Ross gets a chance in some of these T20s coming up," said Rhodes.
"The one thing that disappoints him is that when he played with the Lions, he didn't quite show what he's got," Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"If you get picked for a higher level and you don't produce, then you fall by the wayside. But I'd certainly rather him in our team then play against him. He's one of the best finishers in the game.
"He went in earlier against Yorkshire as we had a bigger target to chase. Anything from eight overs out, he's devastating."
Whiteley will be back in action on Wednesday against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge when he faces England limited-overs opener Alex Hales, another man to have hit six successive sixes, although his effort against the Birmingham Bears in 2015 was not in the same over.
Yorkshire-born Whiteley became only the fifth batsman in professional cricket history to hit six sixes in an over but, of the four previous batsmen who have achieved the feat, he was the first to end up on the losing side.
Having lost by 37 runs, Worcestershire now have just one point from their first five T20 Blast group games.
"It probably didn't sink in at the time," said Whiteley. "I was more focused on just trying to win, and the fact that we didn't was pretty tough to take.
"I'm a team player and, having lost the game, the personal milestone does not mean that much. But I've been pigeon-holed as a power hitter, so it's nice to back that up."
Whiteley has hit 75 sixes in 46 T20 matches for Worcestershire since arriving from Derbyshire in 2013, his best season's effort coming in 2015 when he cleared the ropes 29 times, matching both Luke Wright of Sussex and West Indies opener Chris Gayle, who plundered his in just three matches for Somerset.
His eight in the innings had earlier been matched by Yorkshire's David Willey, who then edged their private duel by getting him out. And, even then, both were short of the nine posted by Glamorgan's Colin Ingram against Essex at Chelmsford a week earlier.
But most disappointed man of all at Headingley was BBC Hereford & Worcester commentator Dave Bradley. He was the lucky man on the microphone when Whiteley was at the crease, but his chance to be immortalised soon disappeared when he discovered that the station's recording equipment was not working.
The case accuses Early Bird Foods & Co of breaking the law with its "phonetic play on Daryl Hall and John Oates' well-known brand name".
Lawyers for the singers filed the case in Brooklyn federal court.
The duo claim the company is attempting "to trade off of the fame and notoriety associated with the artist's and plaintiff's well-known marks".
Haulin' Oats is a nut-free cereal made from maple syrup and oats, described by its makers as a "back-to-basics flavour... perfect by itself or as the base for a breakfast parfait creation".
The case notes that various parties have attempted over the years "to make a connection between the artists' names and oats-related products".
Hall and Oates started working together in the early 1970s, and have become one of the most successful duos in pop history.
Whole Oats is the name of the singers' corporate company and their first album.
Their hits include Maneater, Rich Girl, Private Eyes, I Can't Go for That (No Can Do), Sara Smile and She's Gone.
Earlier this week, they postponed a concert at the Warner Theatre in Washington DC "due to Daryl Hall having laryngitis caused by a severe cold and flu", according to a statement on their official website.
The concert has been rescheduled to 29 April.

Derk Bolt and Eugenio Follender were handed over to a delegation from the Colombian Ombudsman's Office, the agency confirmed in a tweet.
National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels said they had freed them on Friday but later retracted the announcement.
Fears were raised for peace talks between the rebels and the government.
However, the Dutch pair were finally handed over in a rural area of the Catatumbo region, near the border with Venezuela.
Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders welcomed the release as "very good news" and thanked the Colombian authorities for having worked hard to free the men.
Photos released by the Ombudsman's Office show the Dutchmen flanked by armed and masked ELN fighters before being transferred to its delegation.
The Colombian Ombudsman's Office, or DefensorÃa del Pueblo de Colombia, is a national government agency which oversees the protection of civil and human rights.
Television journalist Bolt, 62, and cameraman Follender, 58, had been on an assignment to search for the mother of a Colombian child adopted in the Netherlands when they were taken.
In an interview picked up by fellow Dutch journalist Edwin Koopman, Bolt told Colombian broadcaster Caracol Radio the rebels had given him a "very long" document containing points about the peace talks.
He and Follender, he said, were both well apart from some minor cuts from bushes.
They had thought they were being robbed when they were kidnapped, he said. They were kept hidden in houses but one day they were made to walk for 14 hours to evade the army.
But the rebels had been respectful and never threatened to kill them, he told the radio.
"It was rather heavy," he said, "but the people accompanying us were quite nice."
"While our families at home feared for us, we were sitting drinking coffee with the guerrillas."
Dutch broadcaster Kro-Ncrv TV, whose Spoorloos programme the journalists were working for, said it was "pleased and relieved" that Bolt and Follender were free.
"We are grateful to everyone who has worked to release Derk and Eugenio," it added in comments quoted by AFP news agency.
"In particular, we thank the foreign ministry. They have really done everything in The Hague and in Colombia in order to bring this about."
Last year the ELN kidnapped a Spanish journalist and several Colombians in the same area. All were later released.
The ELN is the second largest left-wing guerrilla group in Colombia, behind the Farc.
The Farc signed a peace deal with the government last November and are preparing to enter civilian life but the ELN only started peace talks in February this year.
Wales captain Sam Warburton is expected to be joined by nine more players on dual contracts under the new agreement.
If the deal goes ahead, funding for the 10 will be in addition to an annual £6.7m shared between Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Scarlets and Dragons.
The WRU and regions have been asked to comment.
Their last deal ended in June 2014, and if a fresh settlement is not forthcoming the regions face a combined £6.7m shortfall going into the 2014-15 season.
Amid the impasse, Warburton is unable to play for Blues.
But he is reportedly to be joined on joint WRU-regions funding by fellow forwards Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys) Taulupe Faletau (Dragons), Gethin Jenkins (Blues) and Ken Owens (Scarlets).
The backs could include uncapped, New Zealand-born, Cardiff Blues utility recruit Gareth Anscombe, who does not arrive in Wales until October.
Wing Alex Cuthbert (Blues), centre Scott Williams, full-back/wing Liam Williams (both Scarlets) and fly-half Dan Biggar (Ospreys) complete the 10 players to be dual-contracted.
The previous contract guaranteed the release of players for Wales coach Warren Gatland's two-week squad training camps ahead of November games, the Six Nations and for the fourth autumn Test which Wales regularly stage outside the approved International Rugby Board window.
If a new deal is not finalised the regions could ensure Wales face South Africa on 29 November without any regional players.
However, that threat would disappear and there would be stability in Wales ahead of the 2015 World Cup if a deal is done.
During the protracted row, teams from around Europe negotiated a revamp of cross-border competitions that will succeed the Heineken Cup next season.
The Welsh regions, represented by Regional Rugby Wales, were party to that deal and are represented on the board of the new company set up to run the three-tier tournament from Switzerland.
However, none of the funding from that tournament is scheduled to be paid to the regions until October 2014.
Under the previous agreement, regions were partly funded via the WRU, guaranteeing a set level of income and covering the release of players for Wales international duties.
Other funding came via participation in competitions, and similar arrangements will be put in place if the new deal goes ahead.
The regions contended the previous agreement did not give them enough money to compete against leading French and English teams.
A number of high-profile Wales international players have already made big-money moves to play in France or England, with the Welsh regions claiming to be unable to match the wages on offer elsewhere.
British and Irish Lions players Leigh Halfpenny (Blues to Toulon), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys to Gloucester) and Jonathan Davies (Scarlets to Clermont Auvergne) are among the players to have left Wales.
None of the Welsh teams reached the knockout stages of the European Cup, or the play-offs of the Pro12, in 2013-14.
Police and UK Border Force officials made 167,000 seizures in 2014-15 - a fall of 14% over the previous year and the largest drop since 2006-07.
There was, however, a substantial rise in the amount of heroin confiscated by authorities.
Policing minister Mike Penning said there were "promising signs" that drug laws and policies were working.
Officials carried out 29,705 seizures of class A drugs in 2014-15. Cocaine was the most common type found, with authorities confiscating 3,387kg in more than 15,000 seizure operations.
In April cocaine with an estimated street value of £500m was recovered from a North Sea tug, in the biggest single class A drug seizure in the UK.
In the same period, 1,113kg of heroin was confiscated by police - up from 647kg in 2013-14: a rise of 72%.
The latest figures show class B drugs accounted for most of the seizures - 132,253 in total - the majority being herbal cannabis.
More than 360,000 cannabis plants were confiscated in 11,612 operations, along with 15,000kg of the prepared drug.
Total seizures of anabolic steroids were also up significantly. This was due to a number of very large seizures made by the Border Force.
The City of London Police had the highest number of confiscations per million people, while outside the capital the highest number was by Dyfed-Powys Police in Wales. Lincolnshire Police recorded the lowest number.
Mr Penning said: "Seizures are just one part of a complex picture in our fight against drugs. Our strategy is clear - we must prevent drug use in our communities, help those who are dependent to recover and ensure law enforcement agencies stop the supply of drugs and the organised crime associated with it.
"There are promising signs our approach is working - with a downward trend in drug use over the last decade and more people recovering from dependency now than in 2009-10."
But Harry Shapiro, a drug information analyst, said the statistics were not a reliable indicator of the general impact of drug policies.
He said: "One year's large seizures can distort the picture and overall, seizure figures often tell us more about enforcement activity than the actual amount of drugs available on the streets."
Mr Shapiro, who worked with former drugs charity DrugScope, added: "A good example of how it is difficult to do a simple read across from seizures to the drug situation is the fact that heroin use is falling and the number of seizures went down, yet the amount of heroin seized showed a significant rise."
Prof Malcolm Chalmers was speaking on the first day of a inquiry into the defence impact of Scots independence.
The Westminster inquiry also heard from retired Lt Col Stuart Crawford, now a political and media defence consultant.
He said it would be "sensible" for the Scottish and UK government to begin a dialogue with the MoD on independence.
Last month the Scottish Affairs Committee heard Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey say that the MoD had made no contingency plans for independence.
On Tuesday morning, the Defence Committee heard from Professor Chalmers, director of research at Royal United Services Institute.
He said that in the absence of formal pre-independence discussions and contingency plans, the MoD could deploy plans which are already in place for "other sorts of emergencies".
"In my experience there are people in the MoD that are thinking about these things and talking about them," he said.
"I think going the extra stage and asking the armed forces to make detailed plans for contingencies which would only be relevant in the case of Scottish independence is much harder.
"As far as I know they are not making that sort of detailed planning.
"Clearly, some of the aspects of independence could overlap with other sorts of emergencies.
"For example, if there were to be some sort of terrorist attack that closed Faslane for a period of months, then that sort of contingency planning which I presume that there is would be relevant to this scenario.
"But there are other aspects of Scottish independence which are unique."
MPs questioned who the Scottish government was consulting with on its future defence plans, given that neither witness has been asked for their expertise, nor were they aware of anyone else in the wider defence community who has been asked to contribute.
The inquiry heard that the UK government's post-independence defence contingencies were similarly unclear, with Prof Chalmers suggesting that there may be "an understandable reluctance from London to reveal negotiating cards prematurely".
He suggested there will be "lots of options" on how to deploy units post-independence, so there was no need to make concrete decisions ahead of the vote.
But he said it was important to provide "enough information to the Scottish people so that they can make an informed decision".
Juve beat Monaco 2-1 in the semi-final second leg to triumph 4-1 on aggregate.
Goalkeeper Buffon, who has made more than 1,000 appearances in his career, was on the losing side as Juve were beaten in the 2003 and 2015 finals.
"Two years ago everyone thought it was my last final - but you have to believe in your dreams," said the 39-year-old.
With Juve already leading 2-0 from the first leg, goals from Mario Mandzukic and Dani Alves left Monaco needing four goals in 46 minutes to progress.
Kylian Mbappe's second-half strike made little difference to the result, but ended Buffon's run of 10 hours of Champions League football without conceding.
Sevilla's Nico Pareja was the last player before Mbappe to score past Buffon in Europe, in a group-stage match on 22 November.
Juve have since beaten both Porto and Barcelona over two legs without conceding.
"That's how we got through," said Buffon. "We've got to Cardiff - I won't say it was our aim because getting to the final means nothing.
"I'm really happy because I'm in good shape. I can't deny the fact that if we didn't have a great team, getting there wouldn't be possible."
Juve will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the final on 3 June.
Atletico host Real on Wednesday looking to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit.
Austin Thomas, a contractor, was killed when he was hit by a bucket loader at UPM Shotton on Monday.
Fellow workers held the silence at 12:45 GMT on Thursday, along with colleagues at other sites across the UK.
The Health and Safety Executive is investigating Mr Thomas's death.
UPM Shotton General manager David Ingham said: "We have had many individuals and companies, from within the UK paper industry and beyond, who have made contact with us to express condolences to the bereaved and solidarity with all employees who have been affected by the tragic accident."
Companies UPM and Downton, that are contracted to provide warehouse services at Shotton, said they had both fully reviewed procedures following Mr Thomas's death.
Edinburgh researchers have received £1.5m to conduct the study, which will involve 390 people with a condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
The six-year trial will test the combination of two therapies used to treat a different bone condition.
Researchers will track the participants for up to five years.
About half of the study's participants will be treated with a drug called teriparatide followed by treatment with another drug called zoledronic acid.
The other half will receive standard care.
OI is caused by genetic mutations that lead to abnormalities in a component of bone called collagen.
People with the disease have extremely fragile bones that break easily, often from mild trauma or for no apparent cause.
Both teriparatide and zoledronic acid are established treatments for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis but this is the first time they have been tested in combination as therapies for OI.
The study, led by the University of Edinburgh, will involve 25 hospitals in the UK and one in the Republic of Ireland.
It is being funded by The National Institute for Health Research Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) Programme.
Prof Stuart Ralston, of the University of Edinburgh's centre for genomic and experimental medicine, said: "This is potentially a game-changing trial since it is the first study that had been specifically designed to investigate whether any treatment can prevent fractures in osteogenesis imperfecta.
"If the results are positive, it could herald a new dawn in the treatment of this rare but devastating condition."
Patricia Osborne, chief executive of the Brittle Bone Society, said "We have been supporting people with OI for 50 years and are pleased to see a potential new therapy being trialled that may improve the quality of peoples' lives".
Kane Boyce was heard to shout "log on, log on" as he attacked 20-year-old Paula Newman in a street in New Addington, south London.
She had refused to tell him a password to one of her accounts.
The 34-year-old from Erith, Kent, had admitted her manslaughter but an Old Bailey jury found him guilty of murder.
He has been ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years.
Jurors were told that he had a history of violence towards women and was manipulative and controlling. He was also known for his charm.
The evening before her death on 12 November 2013, the couple went to visit his friends. When they returned home he began screaming and swearing at her.
Jurors were told that one of the neighbours heard a male voice shout three or four times "log on, log, on", the reply "no, no, no", and then the male voice say: "If you don't log on, we'll see what happens."
Then in the early hours, residents in Elmside, New Addington, were woken by the screech of car tyres and a man shouting and a woman screaming outside.
Boyce pushed her to the ground where he hit her and stamped on her face, causing a major haemorrhage.
He then drove to a friend's house where he showered her. It was only hours later when he noticed she was slipping in and out of consciousness that he finally called an ambulance. She died in hospital.
Sentencing Boyce, Judge Worsley said he was "controlling, obsessive and violent" towards women and said he had a record of violence to them going back 15 years.
"Paula was a vulnerable woman. Besotted by you, she was only 20 and you were 13 years her senior, almost a foot taller and you weighed some seven stone more than she did.
"The attack was a systematic, brutal assault using fists and feet and your superior force."
Ms Newman's brother Gary told the court her death had left her family "shocked, cheated and devastated".
In a victim impact statement, he said her four brothers are wracked by guilt they could not protect their little sister.
Investigating officer Det Ch Insp Diane Tudway said Boyce's "utter obsession with his unfounded belief that his girlfriend was cheating on him" had led to the brutal attack.
The exhibition will offer an "unprecedented" look at the 79-year-old's six decade career.
It aims to show Hockney as an "intelligent and profound interrogator of the essence of art".
Hockney said: "It has been a pleasure to revisit works I made decades ago, including some of my earliest paintings."
He added: "We're looking back over a lifetime with this exhibition, and I hope, like me, people will enjoy seeing how the roots of my new and recent work can be seen in the developments over the years."
The exhibition will take visitors through a chronological overview of Hockney's career, from his first appearance on the public stage as a student in 1961, through to his iconic works of the 1960s and 1970s, and his recent success at the Royal Academy and beyond.
It will include his portraits of family, friends and himself, for example Self Portrait with Blue Guitar 1977, as well as his iconic images of Los Angeles swimming pools.
They will sit with more recent work, such as his celebrated Yorkshire landscapes of the 2000s, work made since his return to California in 2013, and experimental iPad drawings.
Alex Farquharson, Director, Tate Britain said: "David Hockney is without doubt one of Britain's greatest living artists.
"His practice is both consistent, in its pursuit of core concerns, while also wonderfully diverse. Hockney's impact on post-war art, and culture more generally, is inestimable, and this is a fantastic opportunity to see the full trajectory of his career to date."
The exhibition will open on 9 February until 29 May, before touring internationally to Paris and New York.
Latest figures for May show 98.3% of patients, not initially referred for suspected cancer but subsequently diagnosed with the disease, started treatment within 31 days.
This was up from 96.7% in April.
The target is 98% and had been last met in February.
Four of the six health boards in Wales which provide cancer care met the target, however Aneurin Bevan and Cardiff and Vale health boards fell short.
However, NHS Wales continues to miss its other key cancer target of making sure 95% of patients initially diagnosed with suspected cancer should start treatment within 62 days.
In May, 88.6% of patients being treated through this route started treatment within two months - up from 86.7% in April.
But none of the health boards in Wales, individually, met this target.
Last December, Health Secretary Vaughan Gething - then deputy health minister - ordered health boards to produce 100-day plans to improve cancer services and waiting times.
Responding to the latest statistics, Mr Gething said: "We are treating more people than ever for cancer in Wales and crucially, cancer survival rates continue to increase year-on-year.
"It's encouraging that health boards are improving performance and ensuring that more people are starting treatment within the target times.
"In particular, I'm pleased to see that health boards have met the demanding 98% 31-day target and are improving against the 62-day target.
"In the last 12 months we have seen a 3.6% increase in the number of patients who started treatment within the 62-day target.
"We are seeing real improvements, not just against these targets for treatment times but in outcomes."
He said more than half of people would now survive five years after their diagnosis and premature cancer deaths had fallen around 14% in the past 10 years.
But Susan Morris, head of services at Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales said she was "disappointed" that the 62-day target for treating people with cancer has been missed again meaning that 69 people did not start their treatment on time in May.
"While we are pleased that the 31-day treatment target was met, this still meant that 14 people did not start their cancer treatment within this time," she said.
"A delay in starting cancer treatment can cause increased anxiety to people with cancer and their loved ones at an already difficult time."
Meanwhile, new figures show the performance of emergency care departments in Wales has improved slightly but continues to be well below target.
Figures for June show 83.3% of patients spent less than four hours in urgent care departments before being before being admitted, transferred or discharged.
That is up slightly from 82.6% in May.
The target is that 95% of patients should spend less than four hours in A&E but this has never been met.
The figure for 2012 represents a rise from 14,000 in 1993, according to the data compiled by Cancer Research UK.
It means the rate of lung cancer in the female population has risen by 22% to 65 cases per 100,000 people.
The trend is the opposite of what is happening with men and is linked to smoking, which peaked in men in the 1940s but in women peaked in the 1970s.
About 24,000 men are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, which means it is the second most common cancer for both sexes.
Prof Caroline Dive, from Cancer Research UK, said: "It really is devastating to see that the number of women diagnosed with lung cancer continues to climb.
"We also know survival remains poor and one of the problems is that lung cancer tends to be diagnosed at a late stage when it has already spread."
That makes it hard to treat and as a result lung cancer claims the lives of 35,000 people each year.
Just 10% of people live for five years after diagnosis - compared with more than 80% for breast and prostate cancer.
Prof Dive said efforts were being made to tackle this with lung cancer one of its key priorities of its research strategy.
The work focuses on a new technique to carry out a biopsy using magnets to capture rogue cancer cells in the blood of patients - potentially providing vital information on the biology of the disease, which could help improve treatment.
But as well as investing in new treatment techniques, Nell Barrie, senior science communication manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's vital that we keep on fighting against lung cancer.
"It's the biggest cancer killer in the UK so the government and health service must work to help smokers quit by providing more stop smoking services to help people give up this deadly addiction."
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) said in a letter that the money to pay her came from "government corruption and human rights violations".
Minaj, 33, entertained thousands in the Angolan capital, Luanda, on Saturday.
The Christmas event was hosted by mobile phone company Unitel, which is part-owned by the family of Angola's President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Since the end of the conflict in 2002, Africa's second-largest oil producer has witnessed an economic boom, but critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite.
HRF's Thor Halvorssen wrote in the letter to Minaj last week that her participation in a performance sponsored by a government "involved in gross human rights violations would be improper".
Mr Halvorssen points out that Unitel is controlled by Isabel dos Santos, daughter of the president and said to be Africa's richest woman.
Transparency International recently named the billionaire as one of 15 symbols of grand corruption worldwide.
Two days after the accusation, Ms Dos Santos's company Fidequity issued a statement insisting it is an independent company and does not use public funds.
Before going on stage on Saturday, Minaj posted a photo of herself with Angola's flag on Instagram along with one of her posing with Isabel dos Santos with the words: "She's just the 8th richest woman in the world. (At least that's what I was told by someone b4 we took this photo) Lol. Yikes!!!!! GIRL POWER!!!!! This motivates me soooooooooo much!!!!"
Minaj also shared the stage with several local acts.
Her performance came a day after a judge ordered the release of 15 Angolan activists, including prominent rapper Luaty Beirao, who were arrested six months ago during a book reading where one of the books on the agenda was about non-violent resistance to repressive regimes.
The group will return to court next month for their trial's conclusion on charges of "rebellion" and attempting to carry out a "coup".
Minaj is not the only performer to be criticised by rights groups for their choice of gigs.
Singer Jennifer Lopez was criticised in 2013 for singing Happy Birthday to the leader of Turkmenistan, who was accused of human rights violations.
In 2011, Nelly Furtado said that she would give away $1m (£615,000) she was paid to perform for the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Muhammad, 24, defeated former GB rival turned Moldovan fighter Aaron Cook, 7-3 in the final in Mexico City.
It guaranteed him a top-six world ranking at the season-ending event, meaning he joins Jade Jones in winning places for British fighters in Rio.
World champion Bianca Walkden will look to secure a +67kg berth on Sunday.
Muhammad was controversially chosen ahead of then world number one Cook for the London 2012 squad, but after a bitter legal battle his selection was approved by the British Olympic Association and he went on to secure bronze.
With Cook, also 24, subsequently defecting to the former Soviet state, Muhammad is now locked in a battle with world silver medallist Damon Sansum for Rio Olympic selection.
Sansum, who lost in the quarter-finals in Mexico, was leading the Olympic race until October, when Muhammad defeated him at the Manchester Taekwondo Grand Prix event.
A decision on which fighter will be selected for the Rio 2016 is not expected to be announced until closer to the Games.
Assuming world number two Walkden achieves enough points to secure her top-six finish, GB Taekwondo will look to attain a fourth place at the Games via the European Olympic qualification event in Istanbul in January.
Britain can only nominate one entrant for one division for that competition, with heavyweight Mahama Cho the favourite to be chosen.

Hamilton was 0.5secs clear of team-mate Nico Rosberg - and 1.1secs ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third.
The gap from Mercedes to the rest suggests they may be back to their dominant best after the surprise defeat by Vettel last time out in Malaysia.
McLaren-Honda made progress, with Jenson Button 13th fastest and Fernando Alonso as high as seventh early on.
On a day when the sun made it through the perpetual Shanghai smog, but on which temperatures remained much cooler than the oppressive tropical heat of Malaysia, several drivers struggled with a lack of grip.
Among them were Lotus reserve driver Jolyon Palmer, the British GP2 champion spinning at Turn Eight early in the session on his first outing at a grand prix weekend.
Palmer acquitted himself solidly, ending up 15th, 0.6secs slower than team-mate Pastor Maldonado.
Hamilton and Rosberg both also ran off the track, struggling with locking brakes at Turn Six, which caught out several other drivers.
But the Mercedes appeared to be on a separate level from the rest of the field - and Hamilton one step ahead of Rosberg at the same time.

Hamilton failed to record a time during the first half-hour of the session, but his potential was clear as he set fastest times in the first two sectors only to abort his fastest lap with a mistake at the hairpin at the end of the long back straight.
But when he strung a lap together later on, he was 0.541secs ahead of Rosberg.
Vettel was 1.124secs off the pace, and continuing the theme of the season in being only fractionally faster than Raikkonen, who was just 0.107secs adrift of the German.
Sauber's Felipe Nasr was fifth, 0.017secs ahead of the Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo, who was 0.068secs ahead of team-mate Daniil Kvyat.
For Red Bull, despite a power deficit from the Renault engine compared to Mercedes and Ferrari, it was a much better performance after struggling in Malaysia.
Carlos Sainz Jr, driving for the Red Bull feeder team Toro Rosso, was eighth, ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Massa.
McLaren, who have been the slowest team in the first two races this season as new engine partner Honda finds its feet, were for the first time in the mix with the rest.
Fernando Alonso was seventh fastest after the first half-hour of runs but the Spaniard failed to improve his time for the rest of the session.
Button had been nearly 0.276secs off Alonso after the first runs, but ended up 0.316secs ahead after an improvement on his second run as both drivers evaluated aerodynamic changes to the car, with the help of luminous 'flo-vis' paint, with which engineers can see the airflow over parts of the car.
At the back, Will Stevens beat Manor team-mate Roberto Mehri by more than a second but was still 6.346secs off the pace.
First practice results
Chinese Grand Prix coverage details
Referee Jon Moss has been criticised for the decisions that shaped the outcome of Leicester's dramatic 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday, but did he get anything right?
Match of the Day 2 pundits Alan Shearer and Ian Wright take a look at how Moss handled the incidents that mattered, and what the result means for the Foxes' title bid.
"The game became too much of a pressurised situation for him. He could not handle the pressure and I think that clouded his decisions," said Shearer. "The inconsistencies were mind-boggling."
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I would give Moss a mark of three out of 10, and I think I am being quite generous," added Wright.
With Leicester leading 1-0, Foxes goalscorer Jamie Vardy - who had earlier been shown the first yellow card of the day for a foul on Cheikhou Kouyate - went to ground after tangling with Hammers' defender Angelo Ogbonna inside the area. Referee Moss said no penalty, and showed Vardy a second yellow card for diving.
Shearer: "This was the decision that changed the whole dynamic of the game. It had looked like we were heading for another 1-0 Leicester win - suddenly they were down to 10 men and there was a very different atmosphere.
"I did not think the tackle that got Vardy his first booking was worthy of a yellow card at all, but this one was definitely a dive.
"As much as you can criticise the referee for what happens later, Vardy has to take some criticism because it is blatant.
"There was no need for him to dive, because he has got the wrong side of the defender anyway. He was expecting contact, contact didn't come and there was even a little pirouette in there just as he was going over."
Wright: "Vardy hardly touched Kouyate - that one was a very, very harsh booking. The referee could easily have had a word with him for that.
"For his second yellow card, it looks like a dive to me because of the way he goes into Ogbonna and then gets his legs all tangled up. That is why he got sent off."
Referee Moss warns the Leicester defenders for pushing and pulling opponents inside their own penalty area - then points to the spot moments later when Winston Reid falls to the floor after being held by Leicester captain Wes Morgan from a corner. Hammers striker Andy Carroll steps up to make it 1-1.
Wright: "Reid had the march on Morgan, who had to try and catch him up. It is soft, but he had grabbed him.
"If the referee tells the teams in the dressing room before the game that he will not stand for any holding inside the box, then he should not have to tell the players again during the game.
"He has warned them, so he can give a penalty when it happens."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Shearer: "He warned Huth and Morgan just after half-time but here is no need to give a warning. If it is a penalty, give a penalty. You don't get a warning for a foul outside the box, do you?
"I am staggered that the referee chose the 34th game of the season for Leicester to make this point about pulling and shoving in the box.
"Why not make the point at the beginning of the season, and go into all the dressing rooms and say 'we are going to try to stamp this out completely so don't complain and moan when we give penalties for holding'.
"Do it then, not in the 34th game. This is something that has gone on not only all game, it has gone on all season and it will continue to go on until all referees make the same point.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Moss actually gives this penalty for the softest offence. There were far worse incidents in the game than this one.
"Reid goes down far easier than he should do - he dives as well. Morgan pulls him a little bit, but he actually falls forward so it is not as though he is pulling him back.
"I don't think that was enough for a penalty - if it was, then there should have been four penalties in the game, at least. Technically, this one is a foul but, if he gives it, he has to give the others too."
With Leicester now trailing 2-1 to Aaron Cresswell's superb strike, they throw men forward to try to force an equaliser. Ogbonna grapples with Foxes centre-back Huth as he tries to get on the end of a long throw but Moss allows play to continue.
Shearer: "This is bizarre. It was five minutes after Moss had given a penalty to West Ham for Morgan holding in the box, so he should be looking out for things like this.
"It shows why lack of consistency from referees is part of the problem."
Wright: "West Ham know Huth is a danger in the air in the opposition area. Ogbonna has got his hand around his neck so he cannot jump and that is impeding him.
"I cannot see the difference between this one and the West Ham penalty that was given. I have got no problem with that one, as long as this is given too."
In the final minute of stoppage time, Leicester substitute Jeffrey Schlupp picks up the ball and runs down the left-hand side of the West Ham area. Hammers striker Andy Carroll blocks him off, Schlupp goes down, Moss points to the spot.
Wright: "The most you can point your finger at Carroll for is to say he was running back in there recklessly and he made contact. He should have shepherded him away from goal, but a penalty? Really?
"If I had been playing for West Ham in that game, I would have felt that the referee had tried to even things up, even if he did miss the foul on Huth. It was very soft."
Shearer: "It was never a penalty in a million years.
"I think the referee realised he has messed up in not awarding a penalty for the foul on Huth, which is why he has given this one, with the last kick of the game."
Leonardo Ulloa stepped up to convert the spot-kick and rescue a draw for his side. It means Claudio Ranieri's side are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League with four games to go and they need eight more points to secure the title. Second-placed Tottenham, who have a game in hand, play Stoke on Monday night.
Shearer: "It was a tremendous point for Leicester at the end.
"Their right-back Danny Simpson came out afterwards and talked about how that showed they would fight to the death.
"It was a bit like when I won the title with Blackburn in 1995 and our goalkeeper Tim Flowers came out after we had battled to beat Newcastle 1-0 right at the end of the season and said 'we have got bottle'.
"Nobody remembers we were hopeless in that game, and that we were were lucky to win it, people just remember we won 1-0.
"It is exactly the same with Leicester here - they were nowhere near their best but picking up points in games like this to get across the line is all that matters, not the way they do it."
Shearer: "The impressive thing about Leicester against West Ham was their team spirit, and how they did not give up.
"They were up against it, a man down, 2-1 down and under the cosh with a couple of minutes left. Some people might have thought this was the blip they have been waiting for, but then Leicester came up with another answer, which is what they have done for the vast majority of the season.
"You have got to admire how they have kept on going and fought back for what could be a very valuable point in the title race."

The news came after more bodies were found following Friday's disaster at Meethotamulla on the city outskirts.
A number of those killed were children. Angry residents say their warnings of risks posed by the dump were ignored.
The 300ft (91m) high pile of rotting debris shifted after floods and a fire, destroying dozens of homes.
Residents had been demanding the dump's removal for years, saying it was causing health problems.
One man who spoke to BBC Sinhala's Azzam Ameen said he had lost his wife and one of his children in the landslide.
Their bodies had been found - but Sivakumar was still looking for his other daughter.
The authorities do not know how many people were caught up in the landslide.
"We have not received adequate information to find out how many people were living in the area at the time," Brig Roshan Senaviratne told the BBC.
He said troops were having to dig down as deep as 20-30ft in places to look for bodies.
"Even with machines, it's difficult because the muddy soil means it takes time to complete the process."
Some 400 families have been moved to temporary shelters in schools, the AFP news agency reports.
The government has now announced the closure of the dump. Reports said 800 tonnes of waste were added to it every day.
Officials say rubbish will now be placed in two other sites.
Last month, a landslide at a rubbish dump in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, killed at least 113 people.
Welsh Government figures showed the target for trainee teacher intake in secondary schools and for PGCEs had both been missed in 2015-16.
Owen Hathway, Wales policy officer for the NUT, said the pressures and stresses of the job were putting people off entering the profession.
The Welsh Government said it would be looking into the "downwards trend".
The target for secondary school trainee intake was missed by a third while intake for primary schools was slightly below the target. For PGCEs it was missed by 19% (235 people).
The government said, compared to overall graduate entry figures, teacher training recruitment remained strong and it was working closely with partners to identify and address issues.
"We want teaching in Wales to be a first choice profession so we attract the very best," the spokesman said, adding new rules announced in spring are a key part of the drive.
Mr Hathway said pressures in the job were putting people off - with figures obtained by the NUT showing nearly 50,000 teaching days were lost in Wales in 2016 due to stress.
"People have seen the stresses and it's a real problem, causing ill health, and that does put people off going into teaching," he said.
"They see pay freezes, pension cuts, pay cuts and teachers being asked to work for longer and the material benefits - although that's not generally why people go into teaching - are becoming less and less enticing.
"They look at the work-life balance, and it's becoming less of an enticing profession."
Mr Hathway added many teachers find the job was different to what they expected, and end up leaving.
"The vast majority of people going into teaching do so because they want to empower a generation," he said.
"But they get into the role and find they're so restricted in the job it doesn't actually benefit pupils and they become disillusioned and the pressures of the job beat the enthusiasm out of them.
"Quite a few leave within the first five years because they've been worn down.
"I'm not saying the teaching profession is in crisis right now, but it is bordering on a crisis."
A former Rhondda Cynon Taff teacher said she left full-time teaching after just two years, aged 24, despite initially seeing it as a lifelong career.
The woman, who did not wish to be named, said she was working 11-hour days to keep up with planning and marking, and worked through her weekends and holidays.
"I'd try and give myself Friday night off but you spend most of Sunday doing more school work," she said.
"Me and my flatmate were both teachers, we'd be sat on the sofa with our laptops because we felt too guilty and lazy to just watch TV so we'd do work as well."
She became a supply teacher, thinking this may ease the pressure but left at 27 and found a job in a different profession.
"Even with supply there comes planning, I didn't like to just turn up to a class, so I'd prepare sheets for classes ranging from reception to year six on a broad spectrum of subjects.
"I felt too young to be tied down to that, I wasn't getting much of a social life.
"The older teachers were depressed, half term and summer holidays are taken up with work, you can't fit marking and planning in otherwise."
But she added she got a sense of satisfaction from teaching and continues to pay her fees and union membership in the hope of returning in future.
"I felt awful for leaving, I still do. I feel like I let the pupils down.
"But I needed time away from the classroom pressures, and you're living off a rubbish wage.
"I would never tell someone not to teach. I loved and still love teaching, I love helping kids, I love seeing kids come out of their shells.
"You can help shape their future, help them become individuals."

Klopp apologised after shouting in fourth official Neil Swarbrick's face during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
Mourinho said he was told he would be sent to the stand if he did not sit down during Wednesday's visit of Hull.
"It is quite an emotional game," said Klopp.
"To switch off emotions is not simple. We struggle. Not only myself and Jose, but [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger and a lot of others."
Klopp said Swarbrick responded to his apology by saying: "No problem, I like your passion."
Speaking about that incident following his side's 0-0 draw with Hull, Mourinho said: "A fourth official told a manager: 'I enjoy very much your passion.' I'm told to sit down or I'm going to be sent to the stand."
Mourinho appeared to be frustrated by the performance of referee Mike Jones and walked out of a post-match BBC interview.
Klopp said: "Maybe I was lucky with what the fourth official said because I have never heard something like this before. There are different ways to handle the situation.
"We are all different; sometimes we get a fine, sometimes not. It's not what we want to do, nor is it a tactic."
Liverpool, who are 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, visit Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Police said Kayla, an American bald-eagle, was targeted after violence broke out at a Palace home game against Charlton Athletic in September.
A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and attempted criminal damage.
Six other men were also arrested on Wednesday in connection with the violence, Scotland Yard said.
Kayla has been Crystal Palace's mascot since 2010 and flies around the stadium at every home game.
The 19-year-old female is based at Eagle Heights sanctuary in Eynsford, Kent.
She is from Canada but was brought to the UK after she became too aggressive to remain at her previous home, according to her owners.
Kayla also appeared on the front cover of US rockers King's Of Leon's album, Only By The Night.
She has continued to perform her match day duties since the Capital One Cup game against Charlton.
The side, known as The Eagles, won the match at Selhurst Park 4-1.
At a hearing at Warwick Crown Court, the pair also pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault against seven boys.
Tony Wadsworth and his wife Julie previously worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM.
The alleged offences are said to have been committed between 1992 and 1999.
Julie Wadsworth, 59, of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, denies five counts of outraging public decency and 12 charges of indecent assault.
Tony Wadsworth, 69, of the same address, denies ten indecent assault charges that relate to keeping watch for his wife.
The couple were granted bail and will go on trial on May 15.
Well, today that's exactly what he'll do.
In a set-piece speech on foreign affairs he will express his view that the war on terror has "failed"; that the interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan were mistakes.
And he will take direct aim at Theresa May, saying there must be no more "hand holding" with Donald Trump (remember THAT picture?). You can read more about what he'll say here.
It's more "let Jeremy be Jeremy", a plan to show who he is, in part to shore up his base support.
Many former Labour members who had walked away over Iraq returned "home" under Corbyn's leadership.
For many Labour candidates, however, his views on foreign affairs and defence are one of his big vulnerabilities.
Many say on the doorstep voters question his attitude, remembering early events from his leadership like him not singing the national anthem and his views on "shoot to kill".
Theresa May knows it.
Today she will accuse the Labour Party of letting down their working-class voters, who are "proud and patriotic".
Again she'll be on the road in areas where, until recently, the idea of a Tory MP being chosen would have been laughed out of town. | Gene Kelly film An American in Paris is being adapted for the stage and will premiere in Paris late next year.

Nick Hardwick said they were "more dangerous" for staff and prisoners and "less effective" at preparing people for release so they do not reoffend.
He also said he had seen prisoners who were "out of it" from taking legal highs.
The Ministry of Justice said it was investing in and reforming prisons.
Mr Hardwick told the Victoria Derbyshire programme: "The deterioration isn't just bad for prisoners, it's bad for the communities into which they'll return because not enough has been done to stop them committing more crime."
He said the deterioration was due to a combination of issues and the reasons had changed during his time in the role.
"You've got too many prisoners, not enough staff, the men who are there now are more likely to be there for more violent offences, serving longer [sentences].
"And particularly in the past year or two there's been a surge in the availability of drugs, particularly so-called legal highs and that then leads to bullying and debt, and that's created much worse conditions."
He said there were lots of ways the drugs got into prisons, over walls, from prisoners, during visits, or through corrupt staff.
"I was in a prison the other day, and this was quite unusual, there were so many prisoners under the influence that the worst - and it is dangerous, it kills people - they were taking to the hospital, the health centre, but the guys who were less badly affected they were leaving other prisoners to mind and look after," he said.
"I walked round and saw these guys who were obviously out of it."
Mr Hardwick said sometimes there were "simply not enough staff".
"Sometimes I will go on to a wing and want to talk to someone about it and you can't find a member of staff to talk to."
Earlier this month, Justice Secretary Michael Gove announced that Victorian prisons would be closed and replaced with nine new establishments in England and Wales by 2020. Chancellor George Osborne confirmed the closure of Holloway women's prison in London in the Spending Review on Wednesday.
Mr Hardwick said he was encouraged that the government was "finally listening to what we are saying," but that they "had to deliver".
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said prisons needed reform.
"It is only through more effective rehabilitation that we will reduce reoffending, cut crime and improve public safety.
"That is why we are investing in a modern prison estate, where governors are empowered to run prisons in the way they think best, and prisoners are given a chance to work or learn."
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.
Burnt-out tyres, broken glass and concrete blocks littered the neighbourhood's only tarmac road, and an armoured truck was parked outside the prison itself.
Similar trucks have been patrolling the streets of the capital for most of this week, with their turret-mounted machine guns hidden under protective bags. This time, the weapon was gleaming in the sun.
"There have been killings and looting, young men have died and a bakery was ransacked," angry residents shouted.
When asked who had committed those crimes, they answered in a chorus: "Soldiers, policemen!"
An officer heading one of the police squads waved the BBC car through and played down the violence. "We're only using plastic bullets," he said.
The head of the national police, Charles Bisengimana, has acknowledged that his force had killed at least four people in Kinshasa since the presidential result was announced on Friday afternoon - three looters and one woman hit by a stray bullet.
The UN-sponsored station Radio Okapi put the death toll at six in the capital.
"We only use non-lethal equipment to disperse protest marches, but policemen who protect buildings or people had to use weapons," Gen Bisengimana said.
He also warned that armed police would be used against "armed groups linked to the opposition" after one policeman was shot dead on Thursday and another one injured by gunfire on Saturday.
The situation was under control, he added.
More reports of violence came from the central city of Mbuji-Mayi, where official tallies show that 97% of voters supported the opposition candidate Etienne Tshisekedi.
The president of the local civil society committee said one man had died there and members of the security forces had arrested numerous people or stolen their belongings.
Another civil society leader, Willy Wabo, was murdered overnight in North Kivu province, in the east of the country. A local journalist said Mr Wabo had vigorously denounced irregularities in the electoral process.
The Kinshasa voters who have been burning tyres and breaking down electricity poles on Saturday are also putting the election result in doubt.
"We are really disappointed. We voted for Tshisekedi, now we are told it's Kabila. That's why we are angry," a local woman said.
Election observers are now scrutinising the detailed results posted by the electoral commission on its website following the announcement of President Kabila's re-election on Friday evening.
Several electoral observation missions, including the Carter Centre, are expected to issue reports in the coming days on the credibility of the paper trail from each of the 63,000 polling stations to the final tally.
Already, some trends from the raw data are striking: The number of polling stations where the results were discarded by the electoral commission because of electoral violence or logistical problems is consistently higher in areas where the opposition vote was high.
For example, nearly one in five polling stations in Kinshasa was not included in the election result, compared to less than 1% in Katanga. Two-thirds of Kinshasa voters chose Mr Tshisekedi, while 90% of those in Katanga voted for Mr Kabila.
In Mr Kabila's home village of Manono, more voters cast their ballots than were registered on the list, resulting in a turnout rate of 100.14%.
According to official figures, only one person in that entire constituency voted for Mr Tshisekedi.

Andreas Schleicher said international evidence suggested that selection was not linked to improving schools.
He said bright pupils in England were not getting enough opportunities, but grammar school tests were not reliable.
"Any kind of one-off test is likely to favour social background over true academic potential," he said.
Education Secretary Justine Greening has published plans calling for more selective schools in England, and a Department for Education spokesman said any new grammars would "prioritise the admission of disadvantaged pupils".
Mr Schleicher, the think tank's education director, was presenting the OECD's annual report comparing education systems across the industrialised world.
He said there was no relationship between increasing selection and how well school systems performed.
And countries such as Germany and Switzerland, where selection was widely used, were not more likely to produce high-achieving students.
"You might expect that where you have more grammar schools, you will have more of the really top students, that's not what we've seen," said Mr Schleicher.
The OECD education expert said access to selective schools was often unfairly biased towards wealthier families - and that contradicted the aim of stretching the most talented.
"I can see the case for introducing more meritocracy in the school system. Bright students here don't always have the educational opportunities they deserve," said Mr Schleicher.
"But what happens in most European systems is that academic selection becomes social selection.
"Schools are very good at selecting students by their social background, but they're not very good at selecting students by their academic potential."
When admission to school was based on a one-off test, he said, "wealthy parents will find a way through it".
But there were Asian school systems, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, that seemed to be more effective in how they selected pupils.
"They are selective, but they seem to be very good at figuring out how good students really are," said Mr Schleicher.
But focusing on grammars and selection was not the way to raise standards.
"I think the importance of grammar schools is dramatically overplayed," he said.
And there should be more investment for "more schools that are more demanding and more rigorous".
A Department for Education spokesman said: "We know that grammar schools provide a good education for their disadvantaged pupils, and we want more pupils from lower-income backgrounds to benefit from that."
"We are clear that relaxing restrictions on selective education can and should be to the betterment, not at the expense, of other local schools."
The annual OECD report highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the UK's education systems.
It showed that by international standards, the children of migrants did very well - and often better than those who were not migrants.
The report says that in the UK, children born to parents born overseas were more likely to go to university than those with native-born parents.
Mr Schleicher suggested that this could reflect "higher levels of motivation" among migrants, who saw education as a "way of moving up the ladder".
In contrast, he said, British-born families were more likely to face "downward mobility" in their levels of education.
The bigger international picture, said Mr Schleicher, was of a "relentless" increase in the numbers going to university, with entry rates of 60% and above becoming increasingly common.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies has updated its calculations, based on the latest official forecasts.
Pro-Union campaigners have welcomed the analysis.
But those backing independence insisted Scotland's finances would be similar to or even stronger than the UK's.
The referendum on Scottish independence will be held on 18 September, when voters will be asked the yes/no question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?
The IFS has produced two new reports on the financial impact of leaving the UK.
The think tank has previously suggested Scotland would see a budget deficit larger than the rest of the UK and would face spending cuts and increased taxes.
In March, however, it said it had revised its more cautious fiscal forecast because the UK economy was growing more quickly than previously thought.
Based on the latest downgraded forecasts on North Sea oil revenues by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, the IFS has now predicted a slightly weaker position with a fiscal gap of £8.6bn in the first year of independence.
By 2019, when the rest of the UK is due to have a slight budget surplus, the think tank said Scotland would remain with a hole in its finances.
The IFS said: "If an independent Scotland wanted to achieve a sustainable medium and long-term fiscal position, further tax increases and/or spending cuts would likely be needed after independence."
The think tank's report on the fiscal context of the Scottish government's independence white paper added: "The spending cuts and tax rises outlined do not look to be enough to pay for all of the proposed giveaways.
"This does not mean such a package of reforms is infeasible. But, with a background of budget deficits, enacting these measures looks like it would require bigger cuts to other public services or benefits, or other tax rises, if the government of an independent Scotland were to ensure that its public finances were not adversely affected and remained sustainable."
The Scottish government pointed to the fact the IFS calculations were based on declining oil revenues. It said "record investment" in the oil and gas industry would boost future production.
A spokesman added: "Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, more prosperous per head than France, Japan and the UK, but we need the powers of independence to enable that wealth to be shared and to build a fairer society.
"An independent Scotland's finances in 2016-17 will be similar to, or stronger than, both the UK and the G7 industrialised countries as a whole, and even on the IFS's projections, Scotland's public finance balance sheet in the first year of independence will be healthier than the UK's was in the most recent financial year.
"And as the IFS report notes, Scottish taxpayers paid £789 more per head than the UK in 2012-13, demonstrating the huge contribution that Scottish taxpayers make to the UK economy - with more tax per head paid by Scotland than the rest of the UK for every one of the last 33 years."
Unionist politicians welcomed the latest IFS analysis.
Chief Secretary to the UK Treasury Danny Alexander described it as "yet another independent report which leaves the Scottish government increasingly isolated".
He added: "In addition to the CPPR, Citigroup and others, it shows that an independent Scotland would have a larger deficit than the UK, meaning deeper cuts or tax rises than if Scotland stayed part of the UK.
"It highlights the long-term challenge of declining oil revenues, uncosted policies and an ageing population that I set out in our fiscal analysis last week.
"This analysis showed that every person in Scotland is £1,400 a year better off as part of the UK."
Sir John will use a speech in the Midlands to say a Labour-SNP government would mean families paying with "higher taxes, more debts and fewer jobs".
He will say a future Labour government would be subjected to a "daily dose of blackmail" from the nationalists.
But Ed Miliband told the BBC "that ain't going to happen".
With 16 days to polling day, Sir John will say that, in practice, Mr Miliband would be forced to agree to the nationalists' demands or face the collapse of his government.
"If Labour were to accept an offer of support from the SNP, it could put the country on course to a government held to ransom on a vote-by-vote basis," he is expected to say.
"Labour would be in hock to a party that - slowly but surely - will push them ever further to the left. And who would pay the price for this? We all would. We would all pay for the SNP's ransom in our daily lives - through higher taxes, fewer jobs, and more and more debt.
"This is a recipe for mayhem. At the very moment our country needs a strong and stable government, we risk a weak and unstable one - pushed to the left by its allies, and open to a daily dose of political blackmail."
But interviewed by Evan Davis on the BBC, Mr Miliband rejected claims that the SNP would "call the shots" in the event of a hung parliament.
"That ain't going to happen; that ain't going to happen," he said.

Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Launching her party's manifesto in Edinburgh on Monday, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon sought to allay the fears of some English voters, insisting they would act "responsibly and constructively" in the interests of the whole of the UK.
Recent polls all point towards there being a hung parliament after 7 May, and suggest the SNP could be the third largest party and crucially hold the balance of power.
As a consequence of this, the "threat" of an SNP link-up with Labour has emerged as a major Conservative line of attack in the election campaign.
But senior Tory peer Lord Forsyth has suggested that this tactic of building up the SNP as a way of damaging the Labour party in Scotland could be playing a "short term and dangerous" game that threatens the future of the UK.
"We've had the dilemma for Conservatives, which is they want to be the largest party at Westminster and therefore some see the fact that the nationalists are going to take seats in Scotland will be helpful," he told the Guardian.
"But that is a short-term and dangerous view which threatens the integrity of our country."
But despite this Sir John Major will say that the SNP's "driving ambition" is an independent Scotland, and it would use its position to demand policies that favour Scotland at the expense of the rest of the UK.
"That is no way to run a country. And nor is it remotely fair to England, Wales and Northern Ireland," he will say.
Meanwhile, former Labour minister and London mayoral contender David Lammy told ITV that his party could "do business" with the SNP after the election.
Food Utopia said it planned to end production at Avana Bakeries in Rogerstone by the end of January.
The firm said the factory, which also cut hundreds of workers in 2014, had been running at a loss and it was "financially unsustainable".
The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union said a 45-day consultation with staff would start on Thursday.
It said there was a cake production surplus in the country and people were not eating as many baked goods as they used to.
Food Utopia said the site had been "unable to make sufficient progress in an increasingly competitive market".
The firm said it would explore all options and seek as much external support as possible as it began discussions about the future of the bakery.

Dalman also denied speculation the club is being put into shape to be sold.
"Anybody who has an ounce of intellect in understanding numbers knows there are no assets which you are going to be stripping off," Dalman said.
"This club loses a double digit number (millions) a year. That is public knowledge, so what are you going to do? Strip what?"
Dalman added: "People should really be a bit more considerate than that."
He insisted that the Championship club is being run in a "healthy" manner.
"Without Vincent, we definitely would not exist," Dalman said. "Without him pumping money in every year in double digits (millions), this club would not exist.
"So unfortunately or fortunately - depending how you want to look on this - we are dependent on him."
Dalman was speaking for the first time since the transfer window closed on the last day of August.
On deadline day, Cardiff sold goalkeeper David Marshall to Hull City for a fee which could rise to £5m, and brought in former England striker Rickie Lambert from West Bromwich Albion.
Dalman explained the club were operating at the maximum loss - £13m per year - allowed by the Football League, to avoid a repeat of the transfer embargo for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, to which the club were subject last season.
He said: "Our profit and loss is not the healthiest in the world but we are very professional and we are very focused on that. So we had to work within our means… we need to get a healthy club. To get a healthy club you have to run it like a business.
"It's a business that will always lose money for you. We know that. It's a degree of how much money you can lose and we operate it quite prudently under that.
"That does not mean to say our ambition today is any less than it was two or three years ago. I just believe we are running this club on a much more professional basis than we have done for a long time."
Dalman also rejected speculation the club is being put into a better state to sell it.
"I am amazed where these stories have come from - certainly no-one has made a bid to me," he said. "If they have done it to somebody else, I don't know.
"That is not our intention, not our objective. It's an agenda that has never been discussed and if you could tell me who these people are who are interested, put them in in touch with me. I'll have a word with them."
Dalman said the commitment of Tan, who became Cardiff owner in 2010, was still as strong as ever, but that his business commitments prevented him from attending games.
He said: "Asia has not been the easiest market at the moment, he is spending a lot of time on his business. He is trying to make money there to pay for the losses here. His commitment has not changed."
The Cardiff chairman also sought to reassure Bluebirds fans who have voiced concerns at the club's transfer policy and their early season form.
''I think the message really is we need you with us," Dalman said.
"This is for you but we need you with us behind the team. I think in the last two years we have given you a lot to worry about I accept that and I like to think we have rectified a lot of things.
"This interview is all about football and direction of the club not all about political and legal issues which is great from my perspective.
"The message to the fans is come behind the team. This is Wales, this is Cardiff, Cardiff is the capital and we represent that capital and we are trying to implement that philosophy on the pitch as well as within the club and we'd love to have everybody on board.''
Meanwhile, the club insist they are on course to be debt free by 2021 and Tan's plans to convert debt into equity are progressing.
It is 22 miles (35km) north of Cardiff.
The colliery closed 25 years ago this week but it has not been the only local landmark to shut.
Maerdy Workingmen's Hall was demolished; then there was the demise of the post office and the bookmakers' shop. Even the church closed.
Four years ago, the village found itself fighting, unsuccessfully, to keep St Mary's open as the Church in Wales faced a £400,000 repair bill.
A couple of takeaways lie empty on the high street and a cafe closed a few months ago.
But there is a butcher's shop, a pharmacy, doctors' surgery, a grocers, florist, beauty salon and a hairdressers. There is a bar and two social clubs.
There are plans to rebuild the Spar shop on a bigger site nearby. Importantly, the village charity shop helps raise money for projects around the area.
"A lot of the shops have shut down," says Susan Jones. "I used to work for Rhian's cake and bread shop but that closed and I started work here."
She is behind the fryer at M&Ms fish and chip shop - one of two chippies in the village, the other at the bottom end of the village. It is the warmest place in Maerdy on a winter's day, with a biting wind outside.
When the owners took over eight years ago, they extended through to open a cafe. Residents pop in for a coffee or to pick up pie and chips. I asked for curry sauce on my chips and there were three varieties. I had to try "Irish curry sauce" - sweet and spicy, if you want to know.
Susan, 57, whose husband Gareth, 59, worked at the pit, recalls the closure but also remembers the strike just five years before that.
"My daughter was born in the miners' strike," she said, "It was a difficult time, we struggled, we didn't have a lot of money.
"But the village all pulled together. We used to have Maerdy Hall just across the road there and food delivered from people everywhere.
"We had food parcels given to us. I remember having tins of tomatoes, tins of beans and corn beef, a Fray Bentos pie and perhaps five pounds of potatoes and that would be it."
After the pit closed "it was awful for a long time. All the men fought so hard to keep it open. And all the women were all behind them too."
Mrs Jones' husband had a few jobs before retraining as a wall tiler.
"I don't think it's the same since the pit shut. We need more factories or something up here."
THE MAERDY ECONOMY
Looking at Maerdy, there are problems which are familiar to other villages and small towns up and down the country. But there is also a legacy of its mining past.
There is no railway station to serve just over half the population of 3,500 who are working age. The track which served the colliery was pulled up; the nearest station is five miles (8km) away in Aberdare, or down the valley, six miles (10km) away in Porth.
Communities First have eight areas in the Rhondda Cynon Taf county area working on projects to boost learning, skills and health, as well as running youth sessions.
Coordinator for the Rhondda Fach area, Ros Davies, runs work and skills clubs.
"There's a Catch 22," she says. "People need to travel for work but the pay needs to be enough for them to afford it. Car ownership is quite low here. The bus service is very good but it's expensive.
"I've been here since 2002 and it's quite a resilient community. Maybe that's due to the miners' strike, but people will join together and put things on to raise money."
MAERDY FIGHTING BACK - THE LIBRARY CAMPAIGN
What Maerdy is not short of is community spirit.
The most recent battle was to reopen the village library, closed due to budget cuts. Thanks to a charity - Friends of Ferndale - it reopened as a village hub and employs two community workers.
As well as children's activities, there is a Welsh class, craft morning and there are plans for adult learning classes. A mobile library will visit and it is hoped it will be a satellite for the Welsh government-funded Flying Start programme.
This provides free childcare with the aim of helping mothers back into work or training, which has already set up at the village secondary school.
Natalie Wells, 40, who has a cake decorating business, was at school when Mardy Colliery closed and remembers "tough times".
She talks about the Maerdy spirit and how the community got behind the library campaign.
"We had a petition - thousands of signatures - tried all ways for funding, people volunteered just for it not to close but the funding was cut and it was closed," she said.
"We fought hard for this. The kids need it, there's not a lot around, the youth clubs were closing, we don't want them on the streets.
"This is lovely, they come from school, making crafts with friends and it teaches them more of the community spirit of what it was like when we were their age."
MAERDY FIGHTING BACK - THE BOXING CLUB
The fighting spirit is there in abundance three evenings a week at Maerdy Boxing Club.
Businessman Brett Parry set up the club nearly three years ago with coach Mike Hughes.
Even on a terrible night, with torrential rain pounding on the roof, eight youngsters have turned out for a full gym work out.
They put them through their paces and joke with them that they will be sent out on one of the gym's training runs up one of the village hills. Luckily, these are reserved for the summer months.
After "taking a punt" on buying a dilapidated building, the community rallied around the pair as they looked to renovate it.
"Everyone came together, every tradesmen under the sun offering not only free labour but also materials," said Mr Parry.
"The offers have been endless. The help in the village alone has been superb.
"It goes to show you need one person to come up with an idea and be that leading figure and then there are a lot of people who want to help."
Those using it are aged 10 to 60 and since 2013, the club has had four Welsh novice champions - aged from 10 to 16.
The children also have someone to look up to - coach Mr Hughes' 21-year-old son Alex "Bad News" Hughes is a super middleweight with high hopes that can only be good news for Maerdy.
He now has six fights unbeaten as a professional, training out of Gary Lockett's gym in Cardiff and with Frank Warren promoting him.
"Alex is on the right path and a big prospect," says Brett. "It's great for the children to see him - he'll use the gym here a couple of times a week - but they can look up to someone and what you can achieve if you work hard."
A school friend of Mr Parry is Keiron Montague. Both were eight-years-old when the colliery closed.
His father, Barrie, lost his job after 24 years in the pit but had qualified as an electrician and he was able to find work.
Keiron Montague "absolutely loved" growing up in Maerdy.
"We had a fantastic environment and I really enjoyed school; there were lots of activities going on, fantastic local groups and that community spirit," he said.
He left to study for a degree in Cardiff but returned to live and worked running youth services in Merthyr Tydfil, across the heads of the valleys.
He became the councillor for Maerdy three years ago, and is now full-time with the authority as deputy leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf council.
"Most of the people I've spoken to who worked in the mines never found it the same afterwards - the camaraderie and the type of employment," he said.
"But a lot of people have moved on and done very well for themselves. But some have struggled and we have a history of poor health."
Mr Montague said a focus on skills and infrastructure was starting to improve things.
"There's been vast improvement in the education performance of our schools in the last 10 years," he said.
"We're getting these skills right. We've got a fantastic primary school at the hub of the community and a secondary school which is renowned across Wales for the quality of its teaching and learning.
"There are loads of success stories, people I went to school with are doctors and pharmacists and a friend of mine worked on the Cern particle accelerator."
A ROAD TO REGENERATION?
Around half of people work locally as tradesmen or for small businesses or in factories.
But the proportion commuting to jobs in places such as Cardiff or Treforest is less than half the average for Wales.
In 2007, £98m Rhondda bypass opened and was seen as a major regeneration catalyst. Traffic no longer had to wind its way up narrow roads through the town of Porth and former mining villages.
But the new road stops just south of Tylorstown and motorists have to rejoin the old road as it takes an incline up the valley and the final miles to Maerdy.
Mr Montague said: "We still need the last leg of that journey from Tylorstown. Things have improved in terms of the road infrastructure.
"People look at the way the public sector and the way the economy is and think it's going to be like that for ever - doom and gloom.
"There will be a time when it picks back up and it's about us being ready to take those opportunities."
MOVING TO MAERDY?
The council is looking to use its powers to make private housing development more feasible in the valleys, to attract builders beyond the historic "snow line" at Pontypridd.
Mr Montague believes new homes in the village will not only bring construction jobs "but people living there will put money back into the economy as well".
He does not agree with one estate agent who told me Maerdy's image as deprived was not attractive to buyers.
Prices for terraced homes typically range from £50,000 to £80,000.
First-time buyers were "few and far between" with Pontypridd, Porth, Ynyshir and Tonyrefail more in demand.
Another told me they were very busy with sales to Maerdy but they were mainly people investing in buy-to-let properties.
Mr Montague said: "We've got a high percentage of home ownership within the community and we do tend to have people living in Maerdy who want to stay here, so we must be doing something right."
After speaking to him I met Bill Dacey, a former pub owner from Cardiff who moved to the edge of Maerdy 18 months ago. His wife commutes to work in the city.
"I know everyone living 10 doors either side of me," he said. "It's a slower pace of life - but a nice, slow pace of life."
Mardy Colliery: What happened after the pit closed?
Maerdy's new generation and looking to the stars
The intelligence-led operation on Saturday evening came seven days after shots were fired at two addresses.
In the first incident, a parked car was shot at in the Murrays Brae and a few minutes later, shots were fired at a property in Gilmerton Dykes Drive.
The ammunition was found in the Blackford area and has been sent for further analysis.
On Saturday, officers carried out high-visibility patrols in areas where the shots were fired and spoke to people to try to get more information.
The shootings are being investigated by the Organised Crime Unit and police said activity would continue until those responsible have been identified.
Det Ch Insp Kenny Gray said: "The recovery of the firearms ammunition on Saturday evening is significant, as it sends a clear message to those involved in serious organised crime that we are continuing with our efforts to shut down their illegal activities.
"Incidents like those witnessed last week remain extremely rare, but can cause significant distress to the local communities when they do occur."
Officers have said they want to trace two people seen on a motorbike in the area. They were wearing lighter coloured trousers, dark tops and the rear passenger may not have been wearing a helmet.
Four people have already been detained. No-one is believed to have been injured in the incidents.
When Francis Ahiale was trying to remove a car tyre from its rim, the metal tool he was using flew up into his eye. In great pain and bleeding profusely, he went to hospital for treatment, but unfortunately lost his left eye.
"I felt really bad," says Mr Ahiale, 37, from Adenta, Ghana. "But I came to realise that accidents happen, especially in my line of work.
"Ever since the accident I can't work as well as I did before - I need help, so I'm suffering financially."
The hospital treatment cost him 1,500 Ghanaian cedis - about £270 - which he could only pay after borrowing money from friends.
That debt would have made his life even harder had he not taken out a new type of personal accident insurance paid for in micro-instalments over his mobile phone.
The total monthly cost of the policy was about £1.
After sending a doctor's report to the insurance company's office in Accra to verify the claim, Mr Ahiale received a payout of about £450.
"They paid up straight away," he says. "I was very happy because I wasn't expecting this type of money - it meant I could pay off my debt."
Mr Ahiale is just one of millions of lower-income people across Africa and the rest of the developing world increasingly benefiting from affordable insurance paid for by mobile.
"It's very good that we can now buy insurance," says Mr Ahiale. "My friends and neighbours are coming to accept that it is affordable and helpful."
Vodafone and Safaricom's M-Pesa blazed a trail in mobile-to-mobile payments and banking services in Kenya, but for a long time in developing economies insurance seemed like the Cinderella of financial services.
"When you started to look across emerging markets, mobile penetration was about 70%, but insurance penetration was only about 3%," explains Gustav Agartson, chief executive of Bima Insurance, the Swedish firm that insured Mr Ahiale.
"Insurers in the developing world behaved much like insurers in the developed world, linking insurance with bank accounts.
"But many people in emerging markets don't have bank accounts."
Bima developed a platform to allow low-income consumers to pay for insurance from their mobile phone credit. Subscribers make small daily payments and can stop the contract whenever they like.
Partnerships with local telecoms providers were crucial to this business model.
More Technology of Business
Six years later and Bima has 30 million subscribers in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, with 90% of people buying insurance for the first time, says Mr Agartson. Most of the firm's customers live on less than $10 (£8) a day.
The range of policies includes life, personal accident, and hospitalisation, and the firm has plans to expand to include education and income protection.
M-Pesa launched a health insurance premium collection platform in 2014, and telecoms providers, such as Africa's largest player MTN, Tanzania's Zantel, and Etisalat in the United Arab Emirates, have been expanding their mobile digital wallet products to include insurance in recent years.
Meanwhile, another specialist mobile insurance provider, MicroEnsure, says it has registered nearly 55 million customers across 20 countries, offering a growing range of insurance products, including cover against political violence and crop failure.
It has paid out more than $30m (£24m) in claims so far.
"Now customers expect their mobile operator to offer a digital wallet - mobile person to person payments have become the norm - so to differentiate themselves operators are having to offer additional services, such as insurance," explains Jack Kent, mobile analyst at research consultancy IHS Markit.
While mobile platforms have helped automate premium collections, insurance is still a product that needs to be sold by humans, argues Mr Agartson, especially in countries where it is little understood.
"Even if everything is digitalised - applications, payments, claims - it's not enough, because people aren't aware of how insurance works," he says.
"People need to be educated… so we have 3,500 people in call centres and out in the streets."
As profit margins are small on such low-cost policies, the company needs to sell large volumes to make a profit, he says. But the sales agents also have to make sure customers can afford to keep up the payments.
"Having a network of agents that can also cash in and cash out money is useful for operators to have in such markets," says Mr Kent.
As more people buy smartphones - take up is now 30% to 40% in developing economies - there are opportunities to offer more interactive and targeted services, informed by analysis of the usage data such phones provide.
"Companies are applying analytics and machine learning to all this data to help operators assess the creditworthiness of prospective customers," says Mr Kent.
By analysing how people use their phones, what they search for, what apps they use, and how financially literate they are, operators can decide what types of products would be most suitable for them and how much risk such customers represent.
Tech companies such as Juvo and Nuance have been moving into this space, offering analytics services to mobile operators.
But the uptake of insurance by mobile could be further accelerated once electronic signatures are more widely accepted.
Some countries still require physical signatures; others, like South Africa, have allowed digital signatures for several years.
Back in Ghana, Francis Aziale is one of 1.5 million people who now buy mobile insurance out of a population of about 28 million.
There is still plenty of room for growth, accelerated by technological innovation.
But they were denied any hope of victory by a spirited Gloucestershire resistance led by centurion Chris Dent.
Resuming on 68 out of 175-3, with only a 59-run lead, Dent hit 101 to help Gloucestershire reach 320.
Keaton Jennings then made an unbeaten 30 as Durham got to 85-4 from 23 overs before hands were shaken.
Durham are now 37 points behind second-bottom Leicestershire, who have lost two of their first three matches, on top of their own pre-season 16-point deduction.
Gloucestershire opener Dent, who made 160 in the match, has now passed fifty four times in his first six innings this season in first-class cricket.
Example's announced that he's cutting back on his live schedule to focus on, among other things, his family.
"I feel the need to go away for a while so I can come back in 2016 with a new album and a new live show experience," he wrote on Twitter.
The rapper's released five studio albums since 2007 and had two UK number one singles.
"Last year I did 120 shows and didn't spend enough time in the studio or songwriting for myself and other artists," he wrote.
"In 2015 as it currently stands I will be doing 50 shows with DJ Wire overseas (none of them in the UK)."
If you break down those tour stats, it means he's averaged 250 shows a year, performing roughly 20 songs a time.
That's around 40,000 songs in total.
"I'll be back in 2016 with the full live band and lightshow experience for festivals and tours," he said.

He quit as Tory chief whip after it was alleged he called Downing Street police officers "plebs", which he denies.
Further doubt has recently been cast on officers' accounts of his behaviour.
Mr Mitchell told Channel 4's Dispatches programme his treatment by the press had been "completely wrong".
The coverage - which included demands for his resignation - made it appear that the Leveson Inquiry into media standards, including relations with the police, "had never even taken place", he argued.
While Mr Mitchell admits swearing after a police officer refused to let him exit through the main Downing Street gate with his bicycle on 19 September last year, he denies directly swearing at the officer and insists he did not lose his temper or call him a "pleb".
CCTV footage has cast doubt on the original police accounts of the row.
Four people have been arrested in an investigation into their handling and reporting of the episode.
Mr Mitchell told Dispatches, which is due to be broadcast on Monday, night: "I was caught between the pincers of the police on the one hand and the media on the other in a way that would lead you to believe that the Leveson Inquiry had never even taken place.
"I think that was completely wrong and it led to my demise."
Prime Minister David Cameron repeated his desire last week for a "thorough" inquiry into the Downing Street altercation.
Steve White, vice-chairman of the Police Federation, attempted to distance the national organisation from the fierce criticism of Mr Mitchell that came from some of its local spokesmen at the time.
He told BBC One's Sunday Politics: "The national Police Federation accepted Andrew Mitchell's apology and we wanted to move on.
"The fact of the matter is there are a number of police federations in the West Midlands that felt there were still questions to answer."
Mr Mitchell also criticised Number 10's handling of the situation in the days following the incident.
But a Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister wanted to keep Andrew Mitchell in his job, and was very supportive of him.
"At the time Andrew Mitchell apologised to the police and chose not to make a complaint to the IPCC - a path which was always available to him.
"The prime minister takes full responsibility for the way the case was handled and has said repeatedly that what matters now is that the police get to the bottom of this matter."
The zoo and Wild Place Project are home to around 500 species, from tiny fish and insects to gorillas and hippos.
The count is done at the start of each year to verify audit records and check vulnerable populations are thriving.
John Partridge, senior curator, said: "The last 12 months have been very successful in terms of animal births, so the count is a big job this year."

The London-based Premiership club will jointly own the ground with the Alan Higgs Trust, allowing Coventry City to play there still as tenants.
"This is a watershed moment in the history of Wasps," said the club's chief executive, Nick Eastwood.
Wasps will stay at their current Adams Park home for the next two months.
Their first game at the Ricoh will either be the European Champions Cup fixture against French side Castres on Saturday, 13 December, or the following weekend's Premiership game against London Irish on Sunday, 21 December.
Coventry City are away at Port Vale on 13 December and are scheduled to host Fleetwood Town at the Ricoh in a League One fixture on Saturday, 20 December, but the Wasps-Irish game was already scheduled to be played on the Sunday.
The Wednesday morning announcement of Wasps' controversial move to the Ricoh, which has upset both their own supporters and Sky Blues fans, ends several months of speculation.
"It's a shame it was unable to be communicated earlier," Wasps captain James Haskell told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. "But, in business, you have disclosure agreements. The truth has come out today and it's all very exciting. The Ricoh is a world-class venue with amazing facilities.
"I have massive empathy for the fans. I am one myself. I have a double perspective on this, having been a fan from the age of 12 and a player from the age of 17," added the England forward.
"I've an intimate knowledge of what's been happening with London Wasps over the last 11 years in our hunt for a new ground, with a multitude of different owners who weren't able to do it as projects fell through.
"But, as is often the case, a lot of the fans have been shielded from the true reality, that we were an hour away from going bankrupt, that for every pound spent at Adams Park, we get 50 per cent of it."
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's a little bit scary going into a new place, and it's sad to leave London, but there was no other choice," said Haskell, the only member of the current Wasps team involved in their first game at the Ricoh in 2007, in the Heineken Cup against Munster.
"You can't sustain a business on gates of 5,000. You can't lose £3m a year in any walk of life. This was about survival."
"We know the club has considered all options and concluded that it is the best route to secure Wasps' long-term future," said Premiership Rugby chief executive Mark McCafferty.
"It is a positive and significant move by a club determined to re-assert itself at the top of the domestic and European game."
Midwife-led units in Oswestry, Ludlow and Bridgnorth will be closed for up to six months over staffing shortages.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said closures are in place to "ensure the safety of mums".
Expectant mothers will be offered alternative locations for births. One mother said "no one should have to stay in a hospital too far from home".
Protesters marched from Gobowen to the Oswestry unit. Liz Grayston, who organised the march, estimated 300 people showed their support.
She said the extra pressure on other maternity units in the county was already showing and mothers were being sent home within 24 hours of a Caesarean section.
"We're not taking this lying down," she added.
Ellie Jones, from Oswestry, gave birth to twins following an emergency Caesarean at the Telford unit.
She was transferred to the Oswestry unit four days after the birth, but said she was sent home after two nights due to a staff shortage.
"I was not ready to be discharged. I am a new young mum recovering from major abdominal surgery with not one, but two, new babies to look after.
"They didn't even have the staff to come visit me at home," she said.
Ms Jones said the town's maternity unit should remain open as the Telford unit is a 50-minute drive away.
"A lot can happen in 50 minutes when you're in labour. For people that don't have the transport, it's really hard to get there," she added.
The Trust said long-term staff sickness and a fall in the number of midwives willing to cover for colleagues had made it difficult to staff all six of its maternity units at all times.
Deirdre Fowler, Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Quality at the Trust, said closures had been a "difficult decision" and it was working on long-term sustainable options.
In the North Korean world of multiple and complex military job titles, Mr Hyon has held a great variety of them.
But it was in 2010 that he was promoted to the rank of four-star general and on exactly the same day as Kim Jong-un was promoted. That military promotion list was the North Korean leader's major public debut, a sign that he was the anointed one.
Very little is really known about his fellow general Mr Hyon, but one clear sign of his growing influence in the final years of Kim Jong-il's rule was that he served on the committee for Kim Jong-il's funeral in December 2011.
He rose to sudden prominence when he replaced the powerful former army chief, Ri Yong-ho in the summer of 2012. Analysts said at the time that the reshuffle appeared to be an attempt by Kim Jong-un to stamp his authority on the army.
But it is unclear exactly why Mr Hyon has now been purged like this, as he only made the transition into this position of defence minister in June 2014.
Since then, there has been little coverage that would suggest a trajectory out of the ordinary and there is little in his background that provide clues to his downfall.
According to DPRK state media, Hyon Yong-chol was born in January 1949 in North Hamgyo'ng Province and joined the military in March 1966.
He served in the army's ground forces, been a battalion commander and brigade commander, according to North Korea analyst Michael Madden.
His political career began with his election as deputy a (delegate) to the 12th Supreme People's Assembly in 2009. After his name appeared on the four star general promotions list in 2010, he was elected a member of the Korean Workers' Party central committee at the so-called 3rd Party Conference.
He is one of the cast of figures who attended the numerous military inspections with Kim Jong Un and some analysts saw him as a close military adviser.
In June 2014 Hyon Yong-chol was appointed Minister of the People's Armed Forces and a member of North Korea's influential National Defense Commission.
Barely a year later, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that MPs were told Mr Hyon had been killed on 30 April - by anti-aircraft fire in front of an audience.
Barbara Stormont, 81, was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital after the incident which happened in the town's Keptie Street at about 15:25 on Thursday.
She died later at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
The driver of a black Volkswagen van involved in the incident was uninjured. Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The Hope Beyond Hurt event features experts in conflict resolution from the US, England and Palestine.
It is part of a wider project that will culminate in the opening of a garden of reflection in the city.
One of the conference's organisers, Susan Glass of the Holywell Trust, said it was a chance to hear different perspectives.
"I think it's really important that as a society in Northern Ireland, we look beyond ourselves," she said.
"We are very good at looking inwards and it's often good to hear another story from somewhere else in the world, to hear how people at the sharp end of conflict deal with victims and survivors in conflict and post-conflict societies, and how we can learn from that."
Jim and Ann McQuire from Cumbernauld, and Billy and Lisa Graham from Bankfoot, were among 38 people killed by a gunman with links to Islamic State extremists.
An RAF plane has left the UK for Tunisia to begin the repatriation of the 30 Britons who died in the attack.
The process is expected to take several days, with a joint inquest to follow.
Eight coffins are expected to be flown into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on the C17 transport aircraft on Wednesday.
All UK citizens who were seriously injured in the attack have already been flown home.
A national minute's silence is to be held on Friday at 12:00.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon paid tribute to the Scottish victims on Tuesday.
"My deepest condolences go to the families and friends of James and Ann McQuire from Cumbernauld and Billy and Lisa Graham from Bankfoot following official confirmation that they were killed in the terrorist atrocity that unfolded in Tunisia on Friday," she said.
"The Scottish government, Police Scotland and our partners will continue to do everything we possibly can to provide support to their families and everyone else affected by this incident as they return to Scotland from Tunisia."
The Grahams were visiting the resort to celebrate Mrs Graham's 50th birthday.
Mr Graham, 51, had worked as a turnstile operator at St Johnstone football club for seven years.
Steve Brown, the chairman of the Perth club, said: "This is terrible news and our thoughts go out to the whole family at this time.
"Billy was part of the St Johnstone family and a great ambassador for the club, who always did his job with a smile on his face."
Local councillor John Kellas said there was "great sadness" in the village of Bankfoot.
He said: "Many members of the community have been speaking to me about it, expressing their condolences and support for the family at what must be a very difficult time.
"It's very subdued - they were very well known. Throughout the whole community, because it's a very small village, people have been expressing their support for the family and they would want to convey that."
Deputy First Minister John Swinney, who was Mr and Mrs Graham's MSP, said: "I have spoken with their daughter Holly over the last few very difficult days, and my heart goes out to her at this tragic news.
"Mr and Mrs Graham were simply enjoying a relaxing holiday when they became victims of this wicked crime. There are no words that can explain the awfulness of this act. We must all remain resolute in our determination to defeat terrorism.
"It has been a difficult and protracted process to secure the identification of victims and for Mr and Mrs Graham this has resulted in this terrible news.
"Their loss will be felt by the local community in Bankfoot but most acutely by the family and friends they leave behind. I will give every support I can to their daughter Holly and her family in the period ahead to assist in any way that I can."
Mr McQuire, 67, and his wife, 64, had only booked their holiday a fortnight before leaving. They had recently retired and had been talking about their Tunisian holiday when they attended church on the Sunday before they left.
The congregation of the Church of Scotland at Abronhill, with which the McQuires were heavily involved, was told on Sunday that authorities were "99.9% sure" the McQuires had died in the shooting.
Minister Joyce Keyes said: "I don't think I can make any sense of it at all. My feeling is of numbness.
"They were regular holiday goers since their retirement and were really looking forward to it."
The couple had a son, Stuart, who lives in the town, and Mr McQuire had two sisters who are both members of the congregation.
The Scottish government has held three resilience meetings since the attack, with flags in government buildings flying at half-mast, and Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond chaired a meeting of the UK government's Cobra emergency committee.
Perth and Kinross Council and some local bus companies have announced their own plans for a minutes silence on Friday, and the council and its North Lanarkshire counterpart have opened books of condolence in memory of victims.
North Lanarkshire provost Jim Roberson said: "Mr and Mrs McQuire made a huge contribution to their community through their work with young people. and I feel it only right residents have the opportunity to record their tributes."
The gunman, 23-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui, was shot dead following the attack on a beach near Sousse. Tunisian authorities have arrested several people on suspicion of helping him.
Officers were called to the constituency office of Swansea East Labour MP Sian James on Thursday and the road was sealed off.
Mrs James was not at the office at the time and police said nobody was hurt.
A 55-year-old man will appear in court later in January charged with threatening and abusive behaviour.
Every patient admitted to the new hospital will be treated in one of 344 single rooms with en suite bathrooms.
Senior medical staff claim it will reduce cross-infection and protect the privacy and dignity of patients.
However, critics have expressed concerns that long-term patients could become isolated.
Pictures show £270m hospital progress
Single hospital rooms - a good idea?
Margo Christie, NHS Dumfries and Galloway's associate nurse director, said the patients' rooms would be among the largest in any Scottish hospital.
"What that means is that a lot of treatment and therapies that are not currently carried out in the room can actually be carried out here," she added.
"For example when patients are needing to try using the stairs either post operatively or after an episode of care, then that can be done in here rather than taking them out into what are actually busy stairwells.
"But also physiotherapy and occupational health interventions that are currently carried out in the department can now be carried out in the room."
There will also be computers in each room so medical staff can immediately update a patients' notes.
Instead of having one nursing station on a ward, there will be seven stations - each responsible for a maximum of four patients.
A new nurse call system will be introduced, which will allow two-way communication between staff and patients.
Ms Christie added that large windows into each room will ensure that staff can closely monitor those in their charge.
Retired public health consultant Dr John Womersley, who has been a vocal critic of the 100% single room policy, said he does not believe in the one-size-fits-all approach.
"People like company, they support one another," he said.
"It's ok if you're a busy person and you are in hospital just for two or three days for a major operation or something, then that's fine - a single room is entirely appropriate.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, 69, also pledged to recuse himself from any investigation into former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
A Democratic senator expressed "deep concern" about the Alabama Republican's nomination.
But Democrats do not have the power in the chamber to block his confirmation.
The attorney general, America's top prosecutor, leads the US justice department and acts as the main adviser to the president on legal issues.
Beginning two days of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr Sessions, 69, testified that allegations he had once supported the KKK were "damnably false".
"I abhor the Klan and what it represents and its hateful ideology," he added.
Mr Sessions also acknowledged "the horrendous impact that relentless and systemic discrimination and the denial of voting rights has had on our African-American brothers and sisters".
Protesters repeatedly disrupted Tuesday's hearing, including a couple dressed in KKK white robes who chanted: "No Trump, No KKK, No Racist USA."
"Stop this racist pig from getting into power," shouted an African-American demonstrator as she was led out of the hearing by police.
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein voiced her concern over "fear in this country, particularly among the African-American community".
She noted Mr Sessions had voted against an amendment affirming that the US would not bar people entering the US on the basis of their religion.
But Mr Sessions said he did not support the "idea that Muslims as a religious group should be denied admission to the United States. We have great Muslim citizens."
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley described the nominee as a "man of honour and integrity".
If Democrats hoped for a revelation that would block Jeff Sessions' path to confirmation as Donald Trump's attorney general, Tuesday's congressional hearings had to be a disappointment.
Although the question-and-answer exchanges with Republican and Democratic senators were wide-ranging, the Alabama politician steered well clear of any possible conflagrations.
It became clear early on that the Republican participants would serve as guides for Mr Sessions, inoculating him against anticipated lines of attack. South Carolina's Lindsey Graham asked about charges of past racism. Iowa's Chuck Grassley prompted a promise of recusal from any future Justice Department investigations into Hillary Clinton.
Democrats, on the other hand, focused their sharpest questioning on Mr Sessions' votes as a senator, including his opposition to abortion legalisation and portions of the Violence Against Women Act and hate-crime legislation.
They seemed less interested in accusations of racism that sunk the Alabaman's 1986 judicial nomination.
Tomorrow may be a different story, however, as a panel of Sessions critics - including Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Jim Clyburn, a civil rights activist - takes centre stage.
If today is any indication, however, Mr Sessions' Republican support is holding fast, which means he's well on his way to confirmation.
Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy quizzed Mr Sessions about obscene comments Mr Trump made about women in a 2005 videotape.
Mr Trump had said "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star" and bragged about trying to grope and kiss them.
Mr Leahy asked Mr Sessions: "Is grabbing a woman by her genitals without her consent sexual assault?"
Mr Sessions replied: "Clearly it is."
Mr Sessions also promised to remove himself from any investigation into Mrs Clinton, as well as her family's charitable foundation.
He said his past criticism of her private emails and the Clinton Foundation "could place my objectivity in question".
"We can never have a political dispute turn into a criminal dispute," Mr Sessions told the committee.
When asked whether he ever chanted the anti-Clinton slogan "lock her up", the senator said: "No I did not... I don't think."
Mr Trump had pledged on the campaign trail to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs Clinton, but he has since retracted that threat.
In other testimony:
With 20 years under his belt in the Senate, Mr Sessions is known as one of the most conservative members of the upper chamber.
He was denied a federal judgeship in 1986 after the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony that he made racist remarks.
Mr Sessions was also accused of calling a black assistant US attorney "boy" and telling him to be careful about how he spoke to "white folks". He denied saying it.
But Republicans who have known him a long time deny Mr Sessions is a racist.
Some have pointed out he supported the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to civil rights heroine Rosa Parks.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the fire at Clark Street, Paisley, had broken out at about 19:20 on Saturday.
Nine appliances were sent to the scene and firefighters used water and foam to douse the flames.
The fire produced a large amount smoke, but there were no reports of any injuries.
One fire appliance remained at the scene on Sunday morning.
A fire service spokeswoman said: "Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews used water and foam to tackle the flames.
"Firefighters are dampening down and removing debris from the scene."
Mr Saunders gave interviews on Mr Morrison's behalf claiming he did not know Gigi Lee, a woman who alleged Van Morrison had fathered her child in 2009.
It later emerged that Ms Lee worked as a manager on some of Mr Morrison's tours.
Mr Saunders started proceedings against the Belfast-born singer in 2012.
Counsel for Mr Saunders told the High Court in Dublin, Ireland, the two sides had reached an agreement over fallout from the allegations, "on terms that include a letter that the plaintiff John Saunders acted with integrity and on the express instructions of the defendant Van Morrison".
The letter from Mr Morrison to Mr Saunders is not being published.
Undisclosed damages and legal costs have also been agreed.
In 2009 a statement was posted on Mr Morrison's website announcing the birth of George Ivan Morrison III, or 'Little Van', as he was known. It was quickly removed and declared a hoax.
Mr Morrison employed Mr Saunders, a top public relations figure in Dublin and across Europe, to conduct a series of interviews on his behalf to deny reports that Mr Morrison was the father or that he knew the mother.
Mr Morrison, 69, has always denied being the boy's father. He has two children with his wife, former Miss Ireland, Michele Rocca.
George Ivan Morrison III died aged 13 months after reportedly suffering a diabetic coma.
Ms Lee, from Texas, USA, suffered throat cancer and died in the Marie Curie hospice in Belfast in October 2011 at the age of 44.
Mr Morrison biggest hits include Brown Eyed Girl and Moondance. His music career spans more than 45 years.
Mr Saunders' solicitor said his client was happy with the outcome of the court case.

Jones' side made nearly four times as many tackles as the Wallabies and had less than a third of both territory and possession, but secured a series-clinching 23-7 win in Melbourne.
"We had to play rope-a-dope," said Jones.
"We have to be tactically flexible in Test rugby. That's why I'm so pleased."
He added: "Other sides will have 60% possession and we have to be able to score points with that possession - then we'll be a really, really good team."
'Rope-a-dope' was a term coined by boxing great Muhammad Ali after he absorbed a barrage of blows from George Foreman during their 1974 Rumble in the Jungle fight before knocking out his exhausted opponent.
England have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series before next weekend's final Test in Sydney. It is the first time England have won a series in Australia.
But Jones says that his side must focus on whitewashing the Wallabies - just as he believes world champions New Zealand would.
"The boys started talking about it on the field and we're committed to doing that. We want to be the best team in the world," added Jones.
"If the All Blacks were in this situation now, what would they be thinking? They'd be thinking 3-0. If we want to be the best team in the world, we have to think 3-0."
Captain Dylan Hartley backed up his coach's words when asked about the possibility of a 3-0 series win.
"Why not? We're a team who want to improve and be number one in the world," said the Northampton hooker.
Jones' Australia counterpart Michael Cheika admitted that England had been able to stifle the running rugby that had produced a 33-13 win for the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup in October.
"They've seen that we're going to play a lot of footy, chosen the opposite way and their way has been victorious, pretty clearly," he said.
The faulty code could potentially disable the side air bag and seat belt locking mechanism when a vehicle rolls over during a crash, the firm said.

"We're delighted with the draw, but disappointed with our ball retention.
"The difference in the first half was that everything was sticking with their centre forwards, where it was breaking off ours.
"I was delighted with the point in the end. I thought our subs made a real difference and brought energy. If it had gone on a bit longer we might have got the three points."
Thirty homes collapsed in different sectors of the city in the early hours of Wednesday.
The landslides happened after the monthly average of rain fell in one night, the city's mayor said.

The mayor of Manizales, José Octavio Cardona, said he feared the number of dead could rise further.
The mayor tweeted that President Juan Manuel Santos was on his way to the city to inspect the situation.
He said that the worst affected areas were those built on steep hills. | The outgoing chief inspector of prisons has said there is "no doubt" jails have deteriorated in the five years he has been in the role.

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani said Syria faced sanctions if it did not co-operate.
At a meeting of the Arab League in Morocco, he said diplomatic efforts were "close to the end of the road".
As the meeting took place, angry crowds in Damascus attacked the embassies of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
Morocco responded by recalling its ambassador to Syria, AFP news agency reported.
Hours earlier - in another sign of Syria's increasing international isolation - France also said it was withdrawing its ambassador.
Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told parliament: "There has been renewed violence in Syria, which has led me to close our consular offices in Aleppo and in Latakia as well as our cultural institutes and to recall our ambassador to Paris."
By Jon LeyneBBC News, Rabat
As diplomatic pressure increases on Damascus, the situation on the ground is deteriorating as well.
Last night, soldiers who defected from the Syrian army mounted an attack on an intelligence base north of Damascus. It was the most significant attack so far by defectors and was remarkable for being against such a high-profile target so close to the capital.
More and more clashes are being reported between the regular army and opponents who now call themselves the Free Syrian Army.
That raises the spectre of this turning into a full-scale civil war.
But Syria has shown little sign of compromise. At today's meeting here in Morocco, Arab ministers are expected to confirm Syria's suspension from the Arab League and possibly impose new measures.
Syria's chair at the meeting is empty after Damascus angrily decided to boycott the meeting. Attitudes are hardening on all sides.
Sheikh Hamad, asked if the Arab League proposal was a last-ditch attempt at diplomacy, told a news conference in Morocco: "We do not want to talk about a last-ditch attempt because I do not want this to sound like a warning.
"What I can say is that we are close to the end of the road as far as the (Arab League's) efforts on this front are concerned."
The statement came hours after reports that rebel Syrian troops had attacked a major military base near Damascus.
Turkey, although not a member of the Arab League, sent its Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to a Turkish-Arab co-operation forum on the fringes of the league's meeting in Rabat.
Turkey, which shares a long border with Syria, has been increasingly critical of President Bashar al-Assad's repression of anti-government protests.
In a joint statement, they demanded "urgent measures... to ensure the protection of civilians" and declared they were against "all foreign intervention in Syria".
Last weekend the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership after it failed to honour the terms of an Arab League peace plan.
The plan involved Syria withdrawing tanks from restive cities, stopping attacks on protesters and engaging in dialogue with the opposition within two weeks.
But since then violence across Syria has escalated.
Syrian activists say defected soldiers known as the Free Syrian Army launched a pre-dawn attack on the notorious Air Force Intelligence building in the Damascus suburb of Harasta.
Unconfirmed reports said six government soldiers were killed.
Correspondents says such an attack would be the highest profile operation so far by renegade troops.
The Commander of the Free Syrian Army, Ryad al-Asa'ad, who is based in Turkey, told the BBC Arabic Service the international community had let them down in their fight against the regime.
"At the moment no country in the world has helped," he said.
"All of them, every country has refused. Even Turkey has never offered us even one bullet and has even completely banned operations on the border, or on the road to the border. On the other hand, we are from inside Syria, we work inside Syria and the weapons are from Syria."
He said defections were increasing within the Syrian army.

Q&A: Syrian opposition alliance
Q&A: Syria sanctions
"Thank God, there is a big number [of defectors] the number increases daily. Now, over the past 10 days, defections have been increasing in a very very big way, even officers, a great number are defecting."
Meanwhile, anti-government activists reported further bloodshed across Syria on Wednesday.
The Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC) said 11 people had been killed in Homs, seven in Idlib and one each in Daraa and the suburbs of Damascus.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on its Facebook page that three defectors and a civilian were shot dead in Keferzita, Hama province.
Some 376 people had been killed since the announcement of the Arab League initiative on 2 November, the LCC said.
The UN says more than 3,500 people have died since protests started in March. Syrian authorities blame the violence on armed gangs and militants.
The Syrian government has severely restricted access for foreign journalists, and reports are difficult to verify.
Plymouth University faced turmoil in 2014 when a boardroom feud left it without a vice-chancellor or chairman.
The Good Governance Institute has made 15 recommendations for change at the university in a scathing review.
The university said it had been a "challenging time" and the review marked the "turning of a corner".
Vice-chancellor Prof Wendy Purcell was suspended from her ??288,000-a-year post last July but later brought back into the university in a new role.
The independent experts who carried out the review from November to February found the process by which Prof Purcell was investigated was "not fit for purpose".
William Taylor, a retired judge, resigned from the post of chairman in September following claims of sexual harassment, which he has "categorically" denied.
The review said a "golden triangle" of the chairman, vice-chancellor and university secretary/clerk to the board was "at the heart" of effective governance.
It said: "If one side is fractured, good governance is endangered; if two sides are fractured, governance is in peril."
The report said "trust and confidence issues" between the board of governors, the vice-chancellor and the executive were "mirrored by a breakdown in confidence" on the part of staff.
In response to the report, Prof David Coslett, interim vice-chancellor, said: "The actions we are taking forward following our review of governance mark the turning of a corner for the university.
"It has been a challenging time for staff and we are emerging even stronger, propelled by the university's academic excellence, the talent of our students and rigorous management processes."
The report said its recommendations had "resonance" with the wider higher education sector.

The League One Pirates, who were shocked by non-league Chesham in last year's competition, went ahead through Rory Gaffney's close-range finish.
But Harrison equalised six minutes later, slotting past keeper Kelle Roos.
And the 29-year-old striker completed the turnaround after half-time, poking home his 13th goal in 10 matches.
Rovers piled forward in the last 20 minutes, with Gaffney striking the post and then firing a further opportunity wide when well placed, but their non-league opponents held on.
Barrow had not won away at an English Football League side in the FA Cup since 1966 - and had looked to be heading for a difficult afternoon when Gaffney put Rovers in front inside the opening 10 minutes.
However, the cutting edge provided by Harrison, whose recent prolific run in front of goal has seen Barrow go unbeaten since 20 August, proved the difference and ensured their place in the third-round draw.
Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke has led the club to two successive promotions from the National League to League One, but their defeat by Barrow was their fifth in seven games.
"We lost it because we weren't good enough with the ball and we can't defend," Clarke told BBC Radio Bristol. "I'm sick of saying it, to be honest.
"The character of the players will now be in question after this result, and rightly so. I thought one or two hid from trying to get on the ball, which is very disappointing - I don't want to see that."
Barrow now go in to the hat for Monday's third-round draw, which will be shown live on BBC Two from 19:00 GMT, and boss Paul Cox says he hopes to secure a tie that "creates memories".
"In my personal opinion these boys deserve a shot, even if it's just a one off, against one of the major players," he told BBC Radio Cumbria. "I'm hoping the boys are enjoying the journey, because there's loads more to come."

A new book and exhibition is celebrating that history.
The free exhibition is open to the public at the W London hotel, Leicester Square, and runs until 18 October.
BBC London's Emilia Papadopoulos met broadcaster Robert Elms, general manager of the W London hotel Coen Van Niersen, and celebrity photographer Dave Hogan.
The graves that were found in the province of Anbar may contain between 80 and 220 bodies, reports suggest.
Many of the dead belong to the Al Bu Nimr tribe, which joined Iraq's Shia-dominated government in fighting IS.
It has also emerged that Islamic State may have killed 600 prisoners at a jail in Mosul they seized in June.
The inmates were forced to kneel along the edge of a ravine before being shot, the campaign group Human Rights Watch said.
A graphic video allegedly showing some of the victims of the IS attack in the Anbar town of Hit has emerged online.
Analysis: Orla Guerin, BBC News, Baghdad
Details about the latest mass executions attributed to the self-declared Islamic state are still sketchy, particularly the number of victims.
The bodies - all male - were discovered in two separate locations in Iraq's contested Anbar province.
Footage alleged to be the aftermath of the killings shows a line of blood-soaked bodies dumped in a street. Several are blindfolded, and some have their hands bound.
The video - which cannot be independently verified - shows cars and pedestrians passing by the bodies.
Analysts say mass killings are a very deliberate strategy by Islamic State to spread terror in their opponents.
This latest atrocity is a stark warning to Sunni tribesmen as the Iraqi government and the White House tries to get more of them involved in battling IS.
One local official, Sabah Karhout, described the killings in Anbar province as a crime against humanity and called for more international support for Sunni tribes fighting the militants in Anbar.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the killing of Sunni tribesmen in Iraq by Islamic State fighters was the brutal "reality of what we're dealing with" in the conflict.
The US military chief, Gen Martin Dempsey, said American advisers should be sent to Anbar province, but that first Baghdad must arm local Sunni tribes.
"We need to expand the 'train, advise and assist' mission into Anbar province but the precondition for that is that the government of Iraq is willing to arm the tribes," he told reporters on Thursday.
IS militants have killed hundreds of people in the large areas of Iraq and neighbouring Syria they control.
Plans to create a hub airport in the Thames Estuary were rejected by the Airports Commission (AC) in 2014.
In a report entitled Landing The Right Airport, the mayor says a four-runway airport east of London is the only way to secure enough capacity.
Opponents previously described "Boris Island" as "financially, geographically and environmentally wrong".
"If we are to secure the connectivity we need to support our future growth and prosperity and do so without dire impacts on public health - then we must do better than Heathrow," Mr Johnson said.
Building an airport at one of two locations in the Thames Estuary or expanding Stansted in Essex "away from populated areas" was the "only credible solution", according to the Mayor of London.
In his forward to the 78-page document, he added: "Each could accommodate the four-runway hub that London and the UK needs.
"Our analysis predicts that they would offer around double the number of long haul and domestic destinations served by Heathrow today, while exposing 95% fewer people to significant aircraft noise.
"A four-runway hub to the east of London, rather than jarring with the growth of London will support it, catalysing regeneration and housing to the east."
In July, the AC recommended building a new runway at Heathrow rather than providing a second runway at Gatwick.
But it did not completely rule out another runway at Gatwick or doubling an existing runway at Heathrow.
The government has delayed its decision on airport expansion in the South East until the summer at the earliest, saying more work needed to be done on the potential environmental impact.
In September 2014, Sir Howard Davies, chairman of the commission, said the cost, economic disruption and environmental issues made the Thames Estuary airport plan unviable.
Daniel Moylan, aviation adviser to Mr Johnson, said a hub airport to the east of London would cost £20bn to £25bn - with an extra £25bn required to building road and rail connections.
Constructing a third runway at Heathrow is estimated to cost £18.6bn, but Mr Moylan said that did not take into account the amount of money needed on surface access and measures to stop congestion, which the new report claims could be as high as £20bn.

Antonio Conte named 24 players in the squad for the Community Shield defeat by Arsenal and four of the seven substitutes were academy players.
The Premier League champions have signed four players but Conte has said he would like to strengthen further.
Asked if the Chelsea squad was small, club captain Cahill replied: "The back of the programme was interesting."
The England defender was referring to the squad lists on the back of the match programme - which showed 24 Chelsea players compared to 41 from Arsenal.
Cahill added: "In terms of quality we've certainly got that and you just have to hope we don't have too many injuries."
Chelsea have bought Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Willy Caballero and Antonio Rudiger this summer for a combined £129m.
But they have sold Nemanja Matic, Nathan Ake, Asmir Begovic, Bertrand Traore, Christian Atsu, Nathaniel Chalobah and loaned out Tammy Abraham, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Striker Diego Costa, who scored 20 goals last season, has been told he does not have a future at the club.
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has said their squad looks "bare", adding: "They need more and I don't think Conte is happy."
Conte issued terse responses to questions after the penalty shootout defeat on Sunday and declined to answer when asked if his squad was ready to challenge in all four competitions this season.
Margaret Stewart, 47, embezzled the money from the Canadian firm Ivanhoe Cambridge, which owned Glasgow's St Enoch Centre, over a three-year period.
She used her position as treasurer at the boys club to pay cheques into its account before taking the cash herself.
Sentence on Stewart was deferred and her bail was continued.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Stewart, from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, worked in the accounts department of Ivanhoe Cambridge UK, which sold the St Enoch Centre in 2013.
Between May 2008 and January 2011 she had managers at the firm sign cheques that were supposed to be used to make legitimate payments.
Stewart would then write over the payee name and insert the football team's name.
The money would then go to the club before Stewart took it for herself.
She was caught after a bank spotted a problem with one of the cheques from Ivanhoe Cambridge and phoned her office.
Stewart then immediately confessed to her superiors and a payment plan was put in place for her to repay the money.
The court heard that although more than £5,000 was repaid, the plan was not completed and her house was put on the market.
The house was rendered worthless due to Japanese Knotweed, and Stewart was later reported to police.
Stewart pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling the money.
The Rangers Supporters' Association Boys Club was founded in 1960 for boys between five and 17-years-old.
Former players include Barry Ferguson, Lee McCulloch, Graham Dorrans and Charlie Miller.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said he supported the idea of a Wales one-day cricket team provided there was no "financial hit" on Glamorgan.
But Morris believes the prospect would be hugely detrimental.
"It would have a fundamental and catastrophic impact on the finances of cricket in Wales," said Morris.
Jones had said it was "odd" Ireland and Scotland had teams while Wales did not.
His response came to a question in the Senedd from Conservative AM, Mohammad Asghar, who supports the idea of a Wales cricket team.
In 2013, an assembly committee called for "an intelligent discussion on the feasibility" of establishing such a team.
But Morris opposes the establishment of a Wales team, saying Glamorgan would consequently lose its status as a member of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
Additionally, Wales would no longer be part of the ECB and would rather be classed as an associate member of the International Cricket Council.
As a result, England internationals would no longer be played in Cardiff, which would have serious financial repercussions for the club and cricket in Wales according to Morris.
"I can understand the philosophical argument being a proud Welshman myself," said Morris.
"The thing the First Minister said in the Assembly was that he was in favour of it as long as it did not impact on the finances of Glamorgan cricket and cricket in Wales.
"Fundamentally it would. The reality and impact is we [Glamorgan] would host no international matches in Cardiff, we wouldn't be playing in domestic first-class cricket in ECB competitions.
"We wouldn't have any fee payments from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
"Our income at the moment for cricket in Wales, between us and Cricket Wales, is £8m per annum.
"If we were to join the ICC as an associate member we would get five per cent of that income from grassroots to professional level."
From 2002 to 2004, a Wales team played against England in a one-day challenge match each June, scoring a shock eight-wicket victory in 2002.
Morris says Wales would need to start at the bottom tier should they leave the ECB and become an associate member of the ICC, joining 93 other nations, such as Scotland and Jersey.
Ireland and Afghanistan were granted full membership in June, joining the 10 other nations with full test status.
"It has been one or the other so far," Morris told the Jason Mohammad show on BBC Radio Wales.
"Either we are a member of the England and Wales Cricket Board or an ICC associate member like Scotland.
"Ireland has just done really well in getting Test status of the ICC, but it has taken them 30 years to get to that position.
"If we were to join the ICC now we would be starting in the bottom league against the likes of Guernsey, Jersey and Germany.
"We wouldn't be having some of the world's best players coming to Wales."
He told the Senedd there was "merit" in Plaid leader Leanne Wood's call for free movement to work.
Mr Jones had accused Mr Corbyn of a "very London-centric" view which failed to acknowledge unease about immigration outside the "cosmopolitan" capital.
Ms Wood accused Mr Jones of pandering to UKIP, saying emigration was worse.
At the Labour conference in September, Mr Corbyn said Labour should focus on helping individual communities manage the pressure on public services from immigration rather than cut the numbers.
But last week the first minister told the Guardian newspaper that other parts of the UK saw immigration in a different light, adding that the issue which "loomed large" in the vote for Brexit.
Ms Wood tackled Mr Jones on his differences with the Labour Party leader during First Minister's Questions on Tuesday.
Mr Jones said immigration concerns had to be addressed without letting loose the "jackals of racism".
"I am closer to her position as leader of Plaid Cymru than any other," he said.
"She and I said something very similar last week, namely that there should be free movement for work, and free movement to look for work within a certain amount of time.
"I think there is merit in that."
Ms Wood tried to distance herself from the first minister, claiming his criticism of Mr Corbyn implied the people of Wales were opposed to immigration.
"You should be dealing with reality and not perception. You should not be dealing with the myths," she replied.
"We have a problem of emigration. Too many younger and skilled workers are leaving this country and also there is an imbalance within Wales with jobs and prosperity not spread evenly throughout this country.
"First minister, instead of pandering to UKIP, when are we going to have a real debate about the real solutions about the real migration problem here in Wales?"

Rumours of tension between the pair surfaced after Giggs appeared reluctant to fully celebrate Ashley Young's winning goal at Newcastle on Wednesday.
Former team-mate Paul Scholes suggested Giggs "may not have the patience" to remain as number two for the next three years.
But Giggs said the pair have a "great working relationship".
The former Wales captain said: "I'm working as hard as I can and enjoying every minute of it.
"It's coming to that part of the season where the media will look at any little thing just to make it more exciting and more interesting."
Van Gaal said he was "irritated" by suggestions of a rift between himself and Giggs, claiming they have a good relationship.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Giggs, who took over at Old Trafford for the final four games of last season following David Moyes' dismissal, was named assistant following van Gaal's appointment in May 2014.
Scholes had speculated that he could not see Welshman Giggs being Van Gaal's assistant until the end of his contract in 2017.
He said: "There's no doubt, he had that little taste of it [management] for the last three weeks of last year and he definitely wants to be a manager, you can see that.
"Over the next two or three years, will he have the patience to be a number two for that long? I'm not sure he will."
The 41-year-old Giggs, in Cardiff to promote the 2015 Welsh Community Football Awards, said he was learning from working under the former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Netherlands boss.
"I've really enjoyed working under him and learning something new every day. I'm learning under a great manager," Giggs added.
"He's won everything and to work under someone like Louis is a great experience for me.
"He's been brilliant with me and given me a lot of responsibility.
"Each day I learn something different and I love working with the players.
"I've been given a great opportunity to be assistant of a club that I've spent my whole career at."
Firefighters were called to Monteith Drive at about 04:20 after residents reported hearing a loud bang.
Pictures of the scene showed the cars engulfed in flames and a cloud of smoke. No-one was injured.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said inquiries into the incident were continuing. The fire service said the blaze was extinguished by 05:30.
Sylvie Beghal was held at East Midlands Airport under anti-terrorism laws.
The High Court ruled that schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 did not breach human rights.
It comes weeks after the partner of a Guardian journalist was stopped under the same power, prompting a legal battle with the government.
In his judgement on Wednesday, Lord Justice Gross said the stops were "neither arbitrary nor disproportionate".
Lawyers for Mrs Beghal are expected to appeal and try to take the case to the Supreme Court.
Mrs Beghal, a French citizen who lives in the UK, was stopped in January 2011 after arriving at East Midlands Airport on a flight from Paris.
Police officers told her she was being held under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, a power that allows them to hold someone for up to nine hours and question them about whether they are involved in terrorism.
Mrs Beghal's husband is an Algerian man who was convicted and jailed in France on terrorism charges.
Djemal Beghal claims he was tortured and that his conviction is unfair.
Following the stop, Mrs Beghal refused to answer police questions without the presence of a solicitor.
She was allowed to speak to a lawyer on the phone before police asked her about her movements. When she refused to answer the questions, she was charged and later convicted of failing to comply with the order.
In her challenge, lawyers argued that the powers under schedule 7 were so widely drawn that they meant that anyone could be stopped without reasonable suspicion.
They said that those questioned at airports under the legislation were denied the right not to answer questions, unlike criminal suspects who were arrested and interviewed in a police station.
Mrs Beghal also said that her detention at the airport breached her right to privacy and family life and restricted her freedom of movement between two EU countries.
But dismissing the challenge, Lord Justice Gross said: "The schedule 7 powers of examination survive the challenges advanced before us.
"In short, the balance struck between individual rights and the public interest in protection against terrorism does not violate the fundamental human rights in question."
This latest challenge to the powers is wider than that launched by David Miranda, the partner of a Guardian journalist who was stopped at Heathrow Airport earlier this month.
Mr Miranda alleges that the stop was unlawful because police wanted to seize his computer equipment rather than establish whether he was involved in terrorism.
In the Beghal judgement, the court stressed that schedule 7 should only be used for its specific purpose.
Most Palestinian commentators welcome the deal, though some urge caution in the light of the failure of previous attempts at reconciliation.
Writing in the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority's newspaper, Al-Hayat al-Jadidah, Yahya Khalaf says that the deal invalidates an argument regularly used by Israel, which can "no longer talk of the absence of a partner representing the entire Palestinian people".
In the rival Palestinian camp, an adviser to the Hamas-led government in Gaza points out that the agreement still has to be tested on the ground. Writing on the Hamas website Filastin Online, Youssef Rizqa says that the deal will strengthen Palestinian dealings with Israel only if it is "a genuine partnership that will take our people out of a dark tunnel".
Two commentators in the pro-Fatah paper Al-Ayyam are also cautious. Talal Awkal says further progress will require "very strong determination on the part of the Palestinians", while Abdul Majid Suwaylim predicts that many difficulties still lie ahead, as there are "no easy solutions to complicated problems".
Some Palestinian papers also refer to the reactions of the US and Israeli governments.
The Jerusalem-based paper, Al-Quds, notes Washington's expression of "disappointment" that the deal could seriously complicate peace talks, while Al-Hayat al-Jadidah says that Israel's immediate reaction to the announcement was to bomb Gaza.
The announcement is covered prominently in the Israeli press, with several papers highlighting the Israeli government's profound unease at a deal that could signal the end of disunity in the Palestinian camp.
Alex Fishman, writing in the centrist paper Yedioth Aharonot, speaks of the Israeli leadership "exploding with anger". He goes on to say that Benjamin Netanyahu's government will find it impossible to accept Hamas as a negotiating partner, and that it will insist that the US takes a firm line to ensure that the Islamist movement is not granted international respectability.
"Now the ball is in the United States' court - if there is no blunt American reaction, this will be the start of a diplomatic landslide that will lead to the recognition of Hamas by Western countries," Mr Fishman warns.
Commentators in the liberal paper Haaretz take a rather more positive view of the Fatah-Hamas deal, pointing out that the new alignment could help to kick-start the Middle East peace talks after years of stalemate.
Zvi Barel says that the agreement "passes a sharp message to Israel and US that the division of Palestine is over" and that they must deal with Hamas.
And Barak Ravid says that Israeli should "rejoice" at any deal that has the potential to bring all the Palestinian factions on board. He argues that any Israeli government that is sincere about wanting to achieve a two-state solution should "see the reconciliation agreement as an opportunity, not a threat".
A commentator in the pro-Netanyahu paper Yisrael Harom, on the other hand, sees the deal as an act of desperation on the part of the leaders of Fatah and Hamas. Eyal Zisser says that it is hard to see how the long-standing differences between Fatah and Hamas can be reconciled, and that "one must not assume that the unity government - if it is formed at all - will survive".
An Israeli Arab commentator, Khaled Abu Toameh, is also of the opinion that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas decided to go for a reconciliation deal only after all other attempts to move the peace talks forward failed.
"Realising that his moves have had almost no impact on decision-makers in Israel and the US, Abbas finally resorted to the issue of reconciliation and unity with Hamas... Abbas has only one thing in mind: how to extract concessions from Israel and the US," Mr Toameh writes in the English-language Jerusalem Post.

Kalavati Mistry, from Leicester, married Jewish-born Miriam Jefferson, from Texas, in a Hindu ceremony at the weekend.
Ms Mistry said many priests told her they were not allowed to marry them.
Female priest Chanda Vyas eventually stepped in to carry out the ceremony in Leicester.
Live updates form the East Midlands
Ms Mistry told Pukaar News: "I tried many many priests in Leicester and [they] were warm and welcoming and said they'd like to do this but that their federation won't allow it."
She said she had always known she was gay, but was worried about telling friends and family, deciding to keep her sexuality a secret.
However, having come out she said: "They've been very warm welcoming and embracing to Miriam which has been very important."
She added that it was important to her to have a traditional Hindu ceremony.
They also had a Jewish wedding earlier this year in San Antonio, Texas.
Ms Jefferson said: "I got to spend an entire day with somebody I adore and love and want to spend my life with, surrounded by people who I have been close to my entire life and people who have recently embraced me as one of their own, so it's a pretty wonderful way to celebrate."
The brides both wore traditional red and white bridal colours, fresh floral garlands and a "mangala sutra" to show they were now married women.
A copy of the document from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - part of GCHQ - was obtained by technology website Motherboard.
A follow-up by the BBC indicated that the document was legitimate.
There have been reports about similar cyber-attacks around the world lately.
Modern, computer-based industrial control systems manage equipment in facilities such as power stations.
And attacks attempting to compromise such systems had become more common recently, one security researcher said.
The NCSC report specifically discusses the threat to the energy and manufacturing sectors.
It also cites connections from multiple UK internet addresses to systems associated with "advanced state-sponsored hostile threat actors" as evidence of hackers targeting energy and manufacturing organisations.
According to Motherboard, one line in the document reads: "NCSC believes that due to the use of widespread targeting by the attacker, a number of industrial control system engineering and services organisations are likely to have been compromised."
A spokesman for the NCSC did not confirm nor deny the contents of the document cited by Motherboard.
"We are aware of reports of malicious cyber-activity targeting the energy sector around the globe," he said in a statement.
"We are liaising with our counterparts to better understand the threat and continue to manage any risks to the UK."
The case had the hallmarks of an attack orchestrated by a nation state, said security expert Mikko Hypponen at F-Secure.
"I can easily see an intelligence agency being tasked with the mission of creating a foothold in energy distribution systems in case it is needed during a crisis or conflict," he said.
There had been a spate of such cases recently, said Ruben Santamarta, principal security consultant at cyber-security company IOActive.
"It's not a very targeted attack, it's affected a lot of countries, a lot of different companies," he told the BBC.
"It doesn't mean that someone is going to use these capabilities to turn off the lights in our cities in the near future, but it's interesting that they are trying to get those capabilities."
Hackers have also affected Ireland's Electricity Supply Board (ESB), according to a report in the Times on 15 July citing anonymous sources.
The newspaper noted that industrial control systems at ESB were implicated, which could mean parts of the electricity grid in Northern Ireland were made vulnerable.
And in the US earlier this month, it was reported that hackers had gained access to a company in charge of a nuclear power plant in Kansas.
Zhou's son Zhou Bin was imprisoned for 18 years while his his wife Jia Xiaoyue will serve nine years.
Zhou Yongkang was once one of the most powerful officials in China, running the internal security forces.
He was jailed for life after his corruption conviction last year, partly as a result of his family's testimony.
Zhou is the most senior official to fall as part of President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign, which was launched in 2012.
A court in the central city of Yichang found Zhou Bin guilty of taking 222 million yuan ($34m; £24m) in bribes and running an illegal business trading in restricted commodities, the CCTV state broadcaster reported.
The court confiscated what it said were his illicit gains and fined him a total of 350 million yuan ($53m; £37m), CCTV said.
The same court also imprisoned Zhou Yongkang's wife Jia Xiaoye - a former TV journalist - for taking bribes. She was fined 1m yuan ($150,000; £105,000)
Zhou Bin initially escaped arrest by going to the US in early 2013, sources told the Reuters news agency. But he returned to China after negotiations with Chinese authorities. It is not clear whether he had legal representation.
Zhou Bin used his father's influence "in collaboration with others" to accept valuable property, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Zhou Yongkang was a member of China's elite Politburo Standing Committee and was responsible for the police, the judiciary and domestic surveillance.
But he became one of the most senior leaders to be imprisoned by the Communist Party took since the early 1980s, when the Gang of Four were put on trial for instigating the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.
Scores of Zhou's associates have also been arrested, mostly in the southern province of Sichuan where he was head of the Communist Party from 1999 to 2002.
President Xi has warned that corruption is widespread and jeopardises the Chinese Communist Party's future survival.
The president's campaign against graft has embroiled senior party officials, the government, the military and state-owned companies.
Goals from Stefanie Van Der Gragt, Vivianne Miedema and Melanie Leupolz gave Bayern a 3-0 half-time lead.
Miedema and Leupolz both scored again before Bayern were awarded two penalties; Melanie Behringer scoring while Nicole Rosler missed.
The sides meet again in Germany next Wednesday.
Hibs, in the last 32 of the competition for the first time, knew they would be under heavy pressure right from kick-off. They defended in numbers but Van der Gragt was able to break early resistance when she headed in from a corner kick.
Van der Gragt headed off the bar a second time, before Miedema twice failed to hit the target from close range.
It was two though when Sara Dabritz played a neat ball through to Miedema who finished high into the net.
Leupolz headed in at the near post to make it three as the one-way traffic continued.
Cheered on by a crowd of 2,551, Hibs tried to venture forward and Lizzie Arnot tested Bayern goalkeeper Tinja-Riikja Korpela from long range.
It was Scotland international Lisa Evans who orchestrated Bayern's fourth goal, picking out Miedema for her second goal of the game.
Hibs just could not cope with the height of the Germans and really struggled to deal with crosses, and as the home defence failed to clear their lines Leupolz was able stab home her second and Bayern's fifth.
It was soon six when Behringer scored from the penalty spot, sending Jenna Fife the wrong way, and it could have been seven when Rolser won another penalty, but she took it herself and cracked it off the crossbar.
It was no embarrassment for Hibs though who came up short against a full-time team packed with internationals, who were quicker and stronger all over the park.
Hibernian captain Joelle Murray talking to BBC Alba: "The girls deserve to be on the Champions League stage, so it's about gaining the experience. We knew Bayern would be a top team and they showed that.
"We just couldn't live with them down the wings. Four of the the six goals came from crosses or corners."
Hibernian: Fife, Willamson, Hunter, Robertson, Arnot, Smith, McLauchlin, Graham, Murray, Cornet, Harrison. Subs: Jeffries, Michie, Heron, Ewens, Notley, Small, Brownlie.
Bayern Munich: Korpela, Lewandowski, Van Der Gragt, Behringer, Leupolz, Miedema, Holstad, Evans, Faisst, Schnaderbeck, Dabritz. Subs: Zinsberger, Abbe, Falknor, Wenniger, Maier, Gerhardt, Rolser.
They were on the Strangford Ferry, which sails between Portaferry and Strangford, but something was different about it.
For one weekend only, it was transformed from its normal ferry service into the carol ship of lights.
Instead of the usual quiet crossing, passengers were treated to 15 minutes of bright lights and carol singers to get them into the festive spirit.
It's the third year that the event has taken place, and its organiser, Alison Murphy from the Portaferry and Strangford Trust, explained where the idea had come from.
"I lived in Vancouver for a while, and I remembered that they do the carol ship parade of lights, which started 50 years ago with one boat - and it's now 50 boats - the whole big festival lasts for weeks," she said.
"I thought, we've got a boat at the bottom of the street - so we thought, could we use the ferry; could we put different choirs on it?
"It's just going from strength to strength because it actually brings two communities together - Strangford and Portaferry - which are 59 miles apart by road, but only half a mile by sea."
Each ferry crossing took about 30 minutes in total, and with each journey came a different choir, with jazz groups, the Ards Peninsula choir and a number of schools from the area all getting involved.
Teachers Shauneen Reid and Joanne McCauley, of St Mary's Kircubbin Primary School, said their children really enjoyed being part of the singing ship.
"It's good experience for them to get out into the community and see what they do," said Ms McCauley.
"They really love performing."
Ms Reid added: "It's just something totally different. We're lucky that we have a ferry, there aren't too many schools can say that."
Eleanor Brown, a founding member of the Portaferry and Strangford Trust, said she hoped the carol ship of lights would shine a spotlight on an area of Northern Ireland that sometimes gets overlooked.
"Portaferry and Strangford have had a few bad years with the recession, we really need people to come and see what's going on here," she said.
"This event helps to re-energise local communities that are out in the sticks, quite a distance from Belfast.
"It's the first time my mum has come down from Carrick, it's just a really feel-good event."
As the ferry's journey across Strangford Lough was nearing an end, there was time for just one more song, but the organisers hope this new tradition in Strangford will end up lasting as long as that of its Canadian predecessor.
Scientists say chemical changes caused by dry roasting processes may prime the body's immune system - sparking future allergic reactions.
But much more work is needed before humans should consider swapping roasted nuts for raw ones, they say.
The research appears in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Mice were exposed to peanut proteins through the skin or the stomach.
Animals given the dry roasted samples had a much stronger immune response - the body's way of fighting things that appear foreign to it - than mice given the raw versions.
In humans, immune responses vary. Some can be mild, causing rashes for example, but others can be extremely dangerous, leading to swelling of the mouth and breathing difficulties.
Scientists say it is likely to be the high temperatures used to roast nuts that are responsible for the chemical changes that, in turn, prompt the allergic reactions.
Prof Quentin Sattentau, who led the research, said: "This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a potential trigger for peanut allergy has been directly shown."
And researchers believe the findings may explain the lower allergy rates in East Asian populations where boiled, raw or fried nuts are a more common part of the diet than roasted ones.
But they warn that much more work is needed before doctors make any specific dietary recommendations.
Prof Sattentau said: "We know that children in families with other allergies are more likely to develop peanut allergy.
"However our research is at an early stage and we think that it would be premature to avoid roasted peanuts and their products until further work has been carried out to confirm this result."
Scientists are now exploring methods to get rid of the particular chemical changes that may be responsible for kick-starting the immune system.
According to NHS Choices, nut allergies, including peanuts, are relatively common in both school-aged children and adults.
And peanuts are one of the most common causes of fatal allergic reactions to food.
People with peanut allergies are advised to avoid them and many carry auto-injector pens to reduce the severity of any reactions that do occur.
Some 22 survivors have so far been pulled from the rubble, and 40 others are feared trapped in the debris.
More than 70 workers were in the 11-storey building which was under construction when it toppled in heavy rain late on Saturday.
India has seen frequent building collapses, many blamed on lax safety and substandard materials.
At least six people, including construction company officials, have been arrested in connection with the collapse in Chennai (Madras), the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
"It appears they have not adhered to approved plans. The building appears to have serious structural defects," Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said.
Hundreds of rescue workers, including personnel from India's National Disaster Response Force, are working with cutters, shovels and other equipment to search for survivors.
"Clearing the debris is a huge challenge. This would take almost two to three days and we are hopeful of saving many lives, going by our previous experiences in other places," senior police official SP Selvan told the NDTV news channel.
While the cause of the latest collapse is still under investigation, a lack of construction codes, leading to lax safety, is one reason for frequent collapses of buildings and other infrastructure projects in India.
There is also a high demand for housing, pushing up costs and forcing less affluent people to risk their lives in decrepit or badly constructed buildings.
Earlier on Saturday, a four-storey building came down in the capital Delhi, killing 10 people, including five children.
In January, at least 14 people died when a building under construction came crashing down in the western state of Goa.
At least 42 people died after a four-storey building collapsed in Mumbai last September.
The Femfresh advert featured women, wearing briefs and swimwear, dancing.
Shown on ITV and Channel 4 on-demand services earlier this year, it included close-up shots of the women's crotches.
The ASA received 17 complaints that the advert objectified women and portrayed them in an overly sexualised way.
Church & Dwight UK - the brand which owns Femfresh - did not believe the advert for the so-called "intimate shaving collection" was offensive or socially irresponsible.
It said it was aimed at a target audience of 18 to 34-year-old women and that close-ups were used to illustrate that the product could give consumers a smooth bikini line.
Neither Channel 4 or ITV received any complaints about the advert directly and both agreed with comments made by Church & Dwight that it did not objectify women.
But the ASA noted that the dance sequence was "highly sexualised", there were "few shots" of the women's faces and the high-cut swimsuits "were more exposing" than most.
"Even taking into account the nature of the product, we considered that it had been presented in an overly-sexualised way that objectified women," the ASA said.
"We concluded that the ad was likely to cause serious or widespread offence and therefore breached the code."
It ruled that the advert must not appear again in its current form.
In one, a man casually walks around barriers at Dalcross near Inverness just before a train comes through.
A cyclist is knocked off his bike by a barrier at Spondon in Derbyshire, and a motorist gets stuck on the tracks at Narborough in Leicestershire.
British Transport Police described the three clips as "astonishing".
Insp Becky Warren said: "All too often people get into the habit of taking risks at crossings and our message is simple: Use crossings safely.
"It may be tempting to jump a light to shave a minute or two off your journey but every time you do, you endanger your life and the lives of other road and rail users.
"Fail to obey the signals and you may also end up with a driving ban or a criminal record. Is it really worth the risk?"
None of the people were hurt but the woman involved in the incident in Leicestershire was fined £135 and given six penalty points on her licence.
Network Rail said it wanted to remove the risk to people which level crossings created.
Head of level crossings Darren Furness said: "Where possible we close them, and we have already closed more than 900 in the past five years."
Last year, Network Rail offered a "full and unreserved apology" to families bereaved by level crossing accidents.
Chief executive Mark Carne apologised for "failings" in managing public safety and for "failing to deal sensitively" with affected families.
It came as a Commons transport committee report strongly criticised Network Rail's handling of tragedies in the past.
It was particularly critical about the deaths of Olivia Bazlinton, 14, and Charlotte Thompson, 13, at Elsenham crossing in Essex in 2005.
Network Rail was later fined £1m for health and safety breaches in relation to the accident.
The sharp rise confirms a longer term trend with the number of jobless rising 4.3% over the last year.
President Francois Hollande has promised to kick start growth and create jobs.
But the economy has floundered, prompting a revolt against austerity by three left-wing ministers. Mr Hollande replaced them and named a new cabinet.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls had already warned that the latest figures for jobseekers would not look good.
However, he reached out to French business on Wednesday with a promise to speed up reform.
"France needs you," he told the country's main employers' union, Medef. "I love companies!"
The latest French figures are striking even in the recent, bleak economic landscape: the number of unemployed in France rose to almost 3.5 million people last month - that's a rise of 0.8%.
President Hollande is struggling to deliver the new jobs he promised voters here and his popularity is plummeting as a result. Less than 20% now trust him to turn things around.
After a high-profile reshuffle of the cabinet earlier this week, the new economy minister arrived for work today arm-in-arm with the finance minister: a public gesture to voters that months of in-fighting over policy is now in the past.
President Hollande has pinned his chances for growth - and re-election - on a mixture of austerity cuts and tax breaks. He's now got the cabinet behind him, but there are no signs yet that the policy is working.
For a man seen more as a mediator than a maverick, these are high stakes indeed.
Mr Valls tendered his government's resignation on Monday after Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg criticised a German "obsession" with austerity measures that he said were strangling growth.
Asked by President Hollande immediately to form a new government, Mr Valls replaced Mr Montebourg with Emmanuel Macron, a former banker and economic adviser to the president.
President Francois Hollande has pledged to create jobs and boost the economy by cutting 40bn euros (£32bn) from companies' tax bills.
But so far unemployment remains above 10% and growth has stalled.
The government's strategy for boosting the economy, the "Responsibility Pact", entails cuts to social charges paid by companies which would be funded by 50bn euros of cuts in public spending.
Romain Perez, from the Terra Nova think tank in Paris said the increase in the number of people seeking work was not surprising.
"Some people expect with a new minister of economy, Emmanuel Macron, who is younger and eager to reform, there may be positive signals sent. But we will see what happens."
The base at Speirs Wharf will feature one of the largest rehearsal rooms in Scotland, space for technical and costume production and community drama.
Work to revamp the former cash and carry building will begin in July.
Since the theatre company was set up in 2006 it has created hundreds of productions, including the award-winning Black Watch.
Laurie Sansom, artistic director at NTS, said: "For the first time ever we have the opportunity to create a space that brings together our company, our colleagues and all our communities.
"A place of imagination, learning and play. A space from which we can begin to fulfil our ambitions, not just for the National Theatre of Scotland but for the wider theatre community and the entire nation."
The overhaul of the disused building in Glasgow's Craighall Road, in the north of the city, is expected to be completed by spring 2016.
It will provide the NTS with about 3,700 sq m (40,000 sq ft) of space over two levels.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "The new Speirs Wharf centre for creativity, production and talent development will be a hub of innovation within the Scottish theatre industry.
"It will become a dedicated and inspiring space where work will be devised and developed, sets and costumes designed and creative expression explored.
"Not only will the facility assist with new productions and work, by redeveloping a disused building the facility will help to regenerate the canal area at Speirs Wharf."
The estimated cost of the redeveloped building is £5,875,000,
So far, NTS has secured £3,454,481 towards the cost- a £2m grant from the Scottish government and £469,481 from its vacant and derelict land fund, £500,000 from Glasgow City Council, £400,000 from The Robertson Trust, £75,000 from The Wolfson Foundation and £10,000 from The Binks Trust.
The new look of the canal-side building has been designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects.
The 43-year-old ex-Scotland and Canaries midfielder returned to Carrow Road in 2014 after leaving his role as Falkirk boss to coach under Neil Adams.
He continued the role when Alex Neil took charge in January 2015, and has seen them promoted to and relegated from the top flight in 12 months.
Holt now intends to seek a head coach or managerial role.
"I've had some great and memorable times at Norwich City both as a player and as a member of the coaching staff," he told the club website.
"Now the time is right for me to seek a fresh challenge as a head coach or manager and I want to thank everyone at the club and the fans for their support for me over the years."
I was at the election results centre in the capital, Abuja, and at around 17:00 (16:00GMT) the votes from all but three states had been declared.
Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate for the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), had a big lead over incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.
During a break in the results, it became obvious to me that the lead was unassailable and I began wondering about what was going on in the APC camp. Were they celebrating or still anxiously waiting?
Going by previous Nigerian elections, when rigging and results fiddling has allegedly taken place, nothing could be taken for granted.
It turns out that so many calls were coming through that there was no time to answer them all - and Gen Buhari did not even know where his phone was.
I thought that there would still be some more bumps on the road, given the passion in the campaign and the fact that a governing People's Democratic Party official had already tried to halt the count.
I have a lot of contacts within Gen Buhari's circle and I know him personally so I decided to try and call someone who I knew would be with him to find out the mood.
After he missed my call, and I missed his response, I eventually got through.
I asked him what was going on, given that there was no way President Jonathan could win and I was surprised by the response.
He told me that Gen Buhari had just received a phone call from his rival, in which the president conceded and congratulated him.
I did not doubt that this was true as I trusted my source, but given what has happened before in Nigeria, this kind of concession was up to that point unimaginable.
I was pretty sure that I was the first journalist to get the story so as soon as I got off the phone I alerted the BBC's election desk and tweeted the details.
There were, of course, people who were very concerned about what could happen if the result was contested.
And I have since discovered that members of the National Peace Committee, which is headed by former President Abdulsalami Abubakar, visited President Jonathan as the results were being announced.
I understand they were the ones who persuaded the president to do something to avoid any trouble, and shortly after the visit he made the call.
But even making the call was not straight forward. I heard later that the president could not actually get through to Gen Buhari.
He rang all the numbers he had for people in his camp, but no-one answered.
It turns out that so many calls were coming through that there was no time to answer them all - and Gen Buhari did not even know where his phone was.
President Jonathan resorted to sending a messenger round to his rival's house to tell him that the president wanted to speak to him. And that he should pick up the phone the next time he tried to call.
By making that call the president saved Nigeria a great deal of pain. If the PDP had insisted that they had won the election, and the APC had said the same, the country would have been in chaos.
Lives would have been lost and property would have been destroyed. That call showed that in Nigeria, people can put the country first.
I have heard from PDP supporters that the president took the decision to make the call without consulting anyone. They told me that if he had talked to some of his advisers, they would have objected.
That was the question left hanging in the air after an independent broadband provider from Norfolk gave evidence to MPs at Westminster this week.
The chief executive of WiSpire, a broadband provider set up by the Diocese of Norwich and publishing company Archant, told MPs many rural communities had been deprived of a decent broadband service because all the effort and money had gone into subsidising BT's fibre optic cable roll-out.
"The system that has been put in place has resulted in significant sums of money being put at the disposal of BT," Steve Maine told members of the Culture and Media Select Committee. "This has had an anti-competitive effect, working to the detriment of consumers."
WiSpire's unique selling point is that it uses transmitters in church spires to deliver broadband to hard-to-reach areas.
Mr Maine's argument is that in rural areas, the kind of technology offered by his company and others can sometimes be better than relying on fibre optic cable. Yet the government and county council have decided to subsidise BT to provide superfast broadband to 95% of the population.
"Government policy is focussed exclusively on the deployment of fibre," he said.
"Fibre is good technology for providing a lot of bandwidth in densely-populated areas, but it can be expensive to deploy in sparsely-populated areas. To deliver good broadband services economically in sparsely-populated areas, you need to use other technologies"
Mr Maine also questioned whether there was too much emphasis on providing homes with high speed broadband. Many people in rural areas, he said, were struggling with very low capacity, often under 2Mbps.
"For them 10Mbps would be nirvana," said Mr Maine, who believes they could probably live without the superfast speed which BT is being subsidised to install.
Fibre cable, he argued, was not the solution to providing a universal service.
Mr Maine also accused BT and the county councils of "a clever use of language" to suggest fibre cable was covering a much larger area of the country than it really is and ever will be able to.
"Even in areas which are claimed by BT and the county councils to be served by fibre cables, you will find large numbers of people who are not benefitting from the alleged availability of fibre in those areas. This is a grotesque problem that needs to be addressed"
It'll be interesting to see if the MPs, when they publish their report, agree with Mr Maine.
There is some disquiet among MPs about the decision to give BT the contract to roll out fibre broadband, and South Norfolk MP, Richard Bacon, has raised concerns in the Public Accounts Committee.
Just the other week, more than 100 MPs including Peter Aldous (Waveney), Sir Henry Bellingham (North West Norfolk), Sir Simon Burns (Chelmsford), Douglas Carswell (Clacton), Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) and Stewart Jackson (Peterborough) raised concerns about giving BT Openreach the broadband contract. They suggested the company should be broken up.
BT and Norfolk County Council did not give evidence to the committee but the county council said when it put the broadband contract out to tender, BT was the only company to apply.
It says the deal with BT has connected thousands of people but it accepts there is still more to do. | The Arab League has given Syria three days to "stop the bloody repression" of protesters and allow in teams of observers.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of birds are killed on the bases, mostly sold for food in what has become a multi-million pound black-market trade.
The crime team is being increased from a squad of six to 11.
Conservationists welcomed the move but point out that they must patrol a base that sprawls over 100 square miles.
They warn the problem is getting "worse and worse".
It's before dawn on Cape Pyla, not far from the party resort of Ayia Napa. A British police unit is scouting for signs of illegal bird poaching.
This is part of "Operation Freedom," a fresh effort by the Sovereign Base Areas (SBA) authorities here to stop the trapping and killing of songbirds on British territory.
Despite the expansion in personnel, the area they must cover is massive - a key resting place for millions of migratory birds crossing the Mediterranean.
The three-car convoy suddenly stops when one of the officers hears the sound of a bird - a blackcap.
But these birds don't sing at night. A short distance from the road the officers find what they expect to find: an MP3 player powered by a car battery, with a speaker balanced in the branches.
This fake birdsong signals to other birds that it is safe to rest here: it lures them into the bushes.
This means that the poachers are operating nearby. The police unit will not be welcome. Sergeant Andy Adamou warns: "I've had officers assaulted, shotguns pointed at us, vehicles rammed."
As dawn breaks all of a sudden the convoy picks up speed. It is during this brief period of first light that the poachers put up "mist" nets. They then throw stones at the roosting birds to get them to fly into the trap.
Sgt Adamou points through the open window: "Can you see it? The pole?"
Just visible above the acacia bushes is the top of the mist net. The officers jump from the vehicles.
Just a few metres from the track, they find almost 70 birds struggling in the fine mesh. There is no sign of the poachers although there is an MP3 player nearby.
It is silent, having done its job of luring birds to these bushes. The team works to free them, gently untangling and cutting the fibres from around their throats, wings and legs.
Officer Andreas Eleftheriou has a trembling songbird cupped in his hands. "It's like seeing a person in captivity," he said. The bird is in captivity too. He lifts his hands and opens them and the bird flutters up in to the sky.
"Back in the nature where it belongs," Mr Eleftheriou commented.
Sgt Adamou is using scissors to carefully cut netting away from around the belly of a blackcap. "It's an experience, when you hold one of these birds, you can literally feel the heartbeat in your hand."
A net can hold 400 birds - and this is just one site. Every night during the spring and autumn seasons, well over a hundred traps are set all over the territory.
Officer Eleftheriou says he finds it difficult to deal with the extent of the poaching. "I cannot be in a million places at once. You are in one place you know in one place else still some place else and you can't do anything about it," he said.
Each autumn, hundreds of millions of songbirds fly south from Britain and Europe to winter in Africa. They concentrate along "migration highways" - but around the Mediterranean, an estimated 25 million are killed by hunters.
Nearly half of the migratory bird species from Europe, Africa and the Middle East are thought to stop to rest on Cape Pyla.
The most recent figures from the conservation group BirdLife Cyprus estimate that almost 900,000 were killed on this British land over the course of one year.
Most of the birds are eaten. The local dish "ambelopoulia" is a delicacy. The songbirds are pickled or roasted or fried and eaten illegally in secret.
The Cypriot owner of an olive grove in the British base area near Ayios Nikolaos tells us that the meal is "delicious". He says that people eat it in private in their homes rather than in restaurants.
"Now it's difficult to find so it makes it better when you get it!"
He added: "When people who are against it try it, then they change their minds."
A meal of twelve birds can cost up to £60. A poacher can demand £1 a bird: it is a lucrative tax-free income.
If caught, a first-time trapper could be imprisoned for up to three years, or fined up to 17,000 euros. In reality, the average fine is 400 euros and only a handful of people have gone to prison.
James Guy is Divisional Commander of the SBA Police. He said: "The greatest challenges are cultural and political, because for some section of society here it's an accepted practice.
"The argument is that this goes back to their roots when a few birds were taken for the family table - when people were poor and when it was used to subsidise families in a purely eating sense. Now it has become commercial, there's no doubt about it."
It is a multi-million pound black-market trade and investigating it can be risky.
When three anti-poaching activists from the Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) approach the house of a known poacher, there are two men on the front porch and one of them yells and expletive at them and tells them: "I'm going to go and get my shotgun. Right now!"
Even as he continues to shout, the plucky group continues and ensure that the area is free from traps before leaving.
This is the second year running that Andrew Rose has come from England to volunteer. When undertaking surveillance operations at night furious trappers regularly chase after him through the undergrowth.
One of his colleagues was beaten with an iron bar. He says his time in the army infantry was "perfect training".
He has a lot of respect for the police officers patrolling out on the ground but says: "I don't think that they are resourced properly. We talk about trapping, but it's organised crime. It's a dangerous job they do and I don't think they get the support they deserve."
BirdLife Cyprus welcomes the beefing up of the police patrol teams. Clairie Papazoglou is Chief Executive of the organisation that has been monitoring illegal trapping for 14 years.
She said that support for tackling the poachers was now finally coming from the "highest level." She says: "We've seen that the bases want to make a difference and want to make this stop. They have been putting a lot of effort in."
But she points to evidence showing that the problem is getting worse and worse. "Having more people on the ground is an important element," she says, "but it's not enough. If you just take a mist net away then they probably have ten at home."
There are no fences ringing the territory and farmers cultivate some of the land so it can be difficult to spot where the trappers harvest the birds.
Ms Papazoglou says removing the bushes that the poachers use to hide their mist nets is the best way forward. Acacia is an invasive species that spreads like a weed.
It is the right height and density to make an inviting roosting spot. Getting rid of the bushes would make it very difficult to set effective traps.
Divisional Commander James Guy says that they are trying. He estimates that they have spent half a million euros in removing 50 acres of the 200 that exist.
However, they have been hampered by local protests. In July, contractors arrived to remove some of the acacia and they found the road blocked by several excavators and around eighty 4x4s. Some two hundred locals and six MPs successfully disrupted the operation - so far the SBA authorities haven't tried again.
Andrea Rutigliano, from CABS, says: "We were always disappointed by the performance of the SBA authorities and by the lack of political will. Basically we've seen an attitude of tolerance and them trying to turn their eyes away from the problem."
Plans for Westbridge Park, in Stone, include a six-lane swimming pool and play area.
The proposals, which would still require planning permission, also feature a new sports hall and artificial football pitch at nearby Alleyne's Academy.
It is expected to be partly funded through a new M&S food store.
Stafford Borough Council said the store would also require planning permission, but it had been earmarked on land already developed within the park.
Council Leader Mike Heenan said: "These plans deliver the best leisure facilities for Stone whilst retaining valuable green space on Westbridge Park."
Previous proposals for the site, which included a larger supermarket in 2012, were met with strong opposition, including a 1,200-name petition.
Local councillor Jill Hood, part of the Keep Westbridge Park Green campaign, said the group was "over the moon" that the town would keep its park.
While he has compiled his best season to date, culminating in this week being crowned Race to Dubai winner for the second time in three years, he has been battling the stress of court proceedings against his former management company.
After the failure of a recent mediation process, the legal case with the Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management agency is scheduled to go to court in February next year.
McIlroy pulled out of two recent events in China to concentrate on preparing for the legal proceedings.
But he has spent the last 10 days in Dubai to ready himself for the season-ending World Tour Championship, an event he won two years ago to clinch the money list title.
This time he has wrapped up the Race crown ahead of schedule while the Horizon case has been bubbling under the surface. He claimed the Open and US PGA titles as well as the WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone in August.
McIlroy's other victory, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, came in the immediate aftermath of his May split from fiancee Caroline Wozniacki.
This was the first win that showed his ability to put aside off-course troubles and it kick-started his stellar summer.
"I've been able to put a few things out of my mind this year and just focus on golf. It's really been the first year I've been able to do it," McIlroy told BBC Sport. "I guess getting used to it has been a big part of being able to do it.
"It's nice to get back to the golf tournaments and golf courses and to solely think about that. And just get back to an environment that I'm 100% comfortable in.
"It's almost like a holiday coming back to playing tournaments."
McIlroy admits that the time in lawyers' offices can take a toll. "It is stressful in some ways, it takes up quite a lot of time," he said.
"I think anyone who has been in this position will tell you it's not the nicest thing to go through."
He is confident the case will not derail his bid to complete a career grand slam at the Masters next April.
"It'll be over in a few months and I'll have a clear mind and a clear head going to Augusta which is the important thing," he said.
"As long as everyone appreciates that and knows that then everything will be OK."
The world number one confirmed that the case will not affect his playing schedule next year. "We've done it in a way which has been nice in that it won't impact on any tournaments that I have planned to play next year," McIlroy explained
"All the tournaments that I usually play at the start of the year, I'm going to play again.
"It might take out a couple of weeks where I would normally practise but I'm not missing any tournaments which is important to me."
Aside from contesting the court case, which centres around his terms when he was a Horizon client, McIlroy is making the most of his growing influence on the game.
His charitable foundation will be backing next year's Irish Open at Royal County Down. The event is already reaping rewards from the relationship as McIlroy has persuaded American star Rickie Fowler to join the field.
And the involvement of leading players in backing and promoting tournaments is a trend that is gathering momentum.

Last week Scotland's most recent major winner, Paul Lawrie, announced he will be staging a 64-man matchplay event on the European Tour at the Murcar Links next August.
The 1999 Open champion has exploited the business contacts he has nurtured in the prosperous Aberdeen area and it has resulted in another British date on the Tour schedule.
It is a move that might encourage other home players to try to follow a similar route. This particularly applies to English stars like Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald.
All three are based in the United States but would do their British profile a power of good, as well as tapping into the golf-starved market in England, if they could follow suit.
Certainly Welshman Jamie Donaldson can see the potential benefits, and he told BBC Sport that he would be keen to follow Lawrie's example.
"I'd love to get involved in something like that," said the man who sealed Europe's recent Ryder Cup victory.
"Especially if there is no Wales Open next year, that would be incredible to get involved in.
"Obviously I've still got a lot left to do in my playing career, but certainly at the end of it I would love to get involved in stuff like that.
"Also if there's people who want to get involved, I don't mind. I'd love to spearhead another Welsh Open, maybe at a links course if not Celtic Manor again.
"There's so many great golf courses in Wales. I'd love to bring another Welsh Open to what is a great golfing country.
"I would gladly get involved in anything that helps the European Tour to bring more events on," added Donaldson.
More immediately, the Pontypridd man is looking to end an outstanding season on a real high in Dubai. That is something else he has in common with McIlroy.
Lostwithiel School, in Cornwall, plans to take 91 children to the mosque in Exeter as part of their Religious Education (RE) lesson.
Cornwall Council said "a small number of parents" had raised concerns after fundamentalist groups, such as IS, affiliated themselves with Islam.
The Muslim Council of Britain said it was "disappointing".
Speaking outside the school gates, one mother who did not give her name, said: "With the way that things are at the moment in this country with the attacks that have happened through no warning, I just felt that it was the wrong time to be sending children to a mosque."
Kat Smith, chair of governors at the school, said some parents had expressed concern but the "vast majority" had returned their consent slips and the trip would go ahead.
The Muslim Council of Britain said: "We hope this incident is atypical and not reflective of a growing sentiment against Muslims in this country."
Cornwall Council said: "Parents have the right to withdraw from RE in whole or in part and provide alternative work for their children to further their knowledge and understanding of their own beliefs and values.
"However it is not possible for children to take part in RE as a whole but opt out of learning about one specific religion, as this would contravene the Equality Act of 2010."
Lostwithiel School follows the Cornwall Agreed Syllabus for RE.
As part of that curriculum they study Christianity in greater detail, as well as finding out about Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Islam through school trips, visits from outside speakers and class teaching.
Exeter's mosque has declined to comment.
The teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were charged following an alleged incident in the Northfield area of Aberdeen on Thursday.
A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Both teenagers made no plea, were committed for further examination and were released on bail.
Giglia, 30, who had a stroke in January 2013, clocked a time of 41.761 seconds, beating the previous best of 42.955.
On Thursday she won the C3 3km pursuit, also in a world-record time, to boost her chance of Rio Paralympic selection.
"I'm still pretty new to the sport and this is just a stepping stone in the right direction," she told BBC Sport.
"Hopefully I will continue to go and get stronger and faster as we go on.
"I've worked hard to get to this point and will continue to do it, to prove I can do what I am here to do, but I have given myself the best opportunity possible."
There was also a bronze for the tandem pairing of Lora Turnham and Corrine Hall in the 3km pursuit and a first World Championship medal for teenager Louis Rolfe who was third in the C2 kilo event.
"It's really cool to achieve what I have achieved," said the 18-year-old from Cambridge, who has cerebral palsy. "Coming here I didn't really think I could get a podium spot but I did and I'm really happy."
A team of three male candidates was selected last month which had resulted in the former agriculture minister being left off the ticket.
Ms Gildernew is the former MP for the constituency.
In December, Ms Gildernew was selected to run alongside sitting MLA Sean Lynch and local councillor John Feely.
However, earlier this year she was replaced on the ticket by the current MLA, Phil Flanagan, who missed out on selection at a previous selection convention six weeks ago.
The party has now decided to run four candidates in the constituency.
Residents had previously criticised the plans and a report to West Dorset District Council said they would bring "significant harm" to the area.
The application had been submitted by Broadview Energy Ltd.
It was for six turbines up to 70m (230ft) in height in a seven hectare site to the north west of the B3143 at Slyer's Lane near Charminster.
The council, which was recommended to refuse the application, received 2,648 objections and 678 letters of support.
Stinsford Parish Council objected as it would have "an adverse impact on the natural environment "and would be a "visual intrusion".
A report to West Dorset council said: "The proposed development in this case would result in significant harm to the setting of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Beauty, eroding its character, natural beauty and the special qualities."
The Dutchman has employed this tactic as a trademark in battles with rivals but many other drivers have complained that it is extremely dangerous.
Race director Charlie Whiting was told at the US Grand Prix that there would be a big accident if he did not act.
Whiting has issued a ruling saying such moves will be considered illegal.
"It is like it is," Verstappen said about the rule.
"It's good to make it clearer what's allowed and what's not.
"I'm just going to race and then we will see how it is going to be defending and how it will affect the racing."
This is likely to become known as the "Verstappen rule" after a series of controversies involving the 19-year-old this year.
These have included his battles with Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen at the Hungarian and Belgian Grands Prix, and with Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton at the last race in Japan.
Mercedes lodged a protest against Verstappen's driving in Suzuka, which resulted in Hamilton taking avoiding action and going up the escape road at the chicane, but subsequently withdrew it.
The drivers' concerns about Verstappen's driving focus on two main areas: moving - or changing line - under braking; and what is called "wait-and-move".
The second is when a driver defending his position waits to see which side the driver behind will attack on and only moves to defend after he has done so.
Many drivers consider both situations to be dangerous and even dirty because they are already on the limit during braking so cannot brake harder and avoiding the car in front is difficult.
Whiting has been confronted about the issue a number of times this season. His initial response was that Verstappen was driving on the edge but just within the bounds of acceptability.
Verstappen has twice in recent races been taken aside by Whiting and warned to be careful about how he drives in such situations.
But after repeated complaints from the drivers, Whiting has been persuaded that he needs to take action.

His new ruling is predicated on article 27.5 of the sporting regulations which states that "no car may be driven… in a manner which could be potentially dangerous to other drivers…" and article 27.8, which prohibits any manoeuvre "liable to hinder other drivers, such as… any abnormal change of direction".
The drivers and teams have been reminded of article 27.6, which says: "More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off-line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."
Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, said: "It is very simple. The day I joined F1 it was clear and it was a sort of unwritten law, and in recent times we have had situations and got away with it.
"So for sure then the message is that everyone is starting to do it. It is the wrong thing because, as we spoke about yesterday, we are just waiting for something to happen. Therefore I think it is a good action."
United States Grand Prix coverage details
South of Scotland MSP Colin Smyth said TransPennine Express had imposed the block due to overcrowding during the Edinburgh Festival.
Passengers are able to get on or off at stations further south.
The company said it was a temporary measure and "in no way" was it stopping customers from travelling.
Mr Smyth said a block on seat reservations for journeys of about an hour or less on the Manchester to Edinburgh service was unfair to Lockerbie passengers.
It comes after his recent complaints about them being treated "like cattle" on overcrowded trains.
"Several passengers highlighted even more problems including the fact the company are now banning passengers from booking seats on busy services from Lockerbie to and from Edinburgh," he said.
"TransPennine Express have been far from open with passengers in admitting the introduction of a ban on seat bookings on busy trains during the festival when a journey is around one hour or less.
"This means that if a passenger is travelling to the Scottish capital on this service, the only station they are banned from booking a seat from is Lockerbie."
The company said it had had to restrict reservations for journeys of up to about one hour due to services to and from Edinburgh being "extremely busy" in August.
"This is a temporary measure for the busy month of August only, and in no way are we stopping customers from travelling," said a spokesperson.
"We recognise that our services to and from Edinburgh can be very busy, and we are introducing extra capacity across our network.
"We're also introducing more services, and from December 2017 we plan to introduce additional weekday evening services, including a new 22:30 departure from Edinburgh to Lockerbie, and additional Sunday services that will call at Lockerbie."
The company also said it hoped to meet with Mr Smyth in the near future.

Scotland finished second to secure their first major team medal.
Dan Keatings, Dan Purvis, Frank Baines, Adam Cox and Liam Davie scored 257.603, with England's 266.804 enough for victory.
However, Oldham missed England's final two rotations after falling in the vault.
England's women finished on a total of 167.555, and errors from Australia on both the floor and beam in the final rotation left them second on 161.646.
The Welsh team of Lizzie Beddoe, Georgina Hockenhull, Jessica Hogg, Angel Romaeo and Raer Theaker secured the country's first team medal with a score of 160.095.
Both England teams led their events after the opening day but Whitlock, who led qualifying for the all-around final with 90.365, acknowledged his team had been pushed by the Scots.
"It's very different competing against Scotland," he added. "These are guys we've been friends and team-mates with for a long time so it's interesting and a bit of fun training with them.
"We've been preparing for this for a long time and for it to go well on the day in front of a crowd like this is amazing."
Whelan, 22, was thrilled with the gold medal and also the performance of 16-year-old Fragapane, who put in solid performances on the floor and beam to help clinch the win.
"We did have a few shaky moments out there but we have worked so hard," said Whelan.
"Coming off the back of a Europeans and going into a Worlds, we have done as much as we can do training-wise and we all felt ready.
"The way Claudia finished it off was fantastic. We have all pulled our weight and I'm really proud of the way everyone has performed."
Mcebisi Jonas says he rejected the offer, calling it "a mockery of our hard-earned democracy".
The opposition has long accused President Jacob Zuma of letting the Guptas wield excessive influence.
The Indian-born family has built up holdings in mining, travel and media.
The Guptas, whose forebears arrived from India in 1933, also have huge interests in computers, air travel, energy, and technology.
They said Mr Jonas' statement was political point-scoring.
In 2013, there was an outcry after a private jet carrying guests to the wedding of a Gupta family member was allowed to land at a South African military air force base in Pretoria.
The opposition has said that links between President Zuma and the Guptas were so close that they have been nicknamed the "Zuptas".
Analysis: Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Johannesburg
The allegations, confirmed by a serving minister, may well represent the lowest point of Mr Zuma's presidency, which has already been beset by multiple corruption scandals.
South Africans have reacted with shock and dismay. Some are already calling for the president to resign.
It is very difficult to see how President Zuma can come out of this latest scandal unscathed.
The ANC's national executive committee's meeting this weekend will face a tough decision: should it keep President Zuma as head of state?
Mr Jonas' shock statement follows questions about the role of the Gupta family in parliament.
He said that "no-one apart from the president of the Republic appoints ministers.
"The narrative that has grown around the issue of 'state capture' should be of concern to all responsible and caring South Africans."
Mr Jonas said he was offered the job of finance minister in December 2015 just before Nhlanhla Nene was sacked by President Zuma.
Mr Zuma then appointed the little-known David van Rooyen, leading to a run on the currency and national protests.
Just days later, Mr Zuma made an about-turn and replaced Mr Van Rooyen with the widely respected Pravin Gordhan.
The artist and illustrator designed the enduring Ghostbusters logo and a dog with a gun to its head for the cover of National Lampoon magazine.
Gross was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014 and died on Monday at his home in California.
Prior to his death he launched Flip Cancer, a darkly comic anti-cancer campaign.
Gross's Ghostbusters logo, designed for the first Ghostbusters film in 1984, features a slightly-shocked looking spirit caught in the middle of a slashed red circle.
It placed first, beating out the Chrysler Building, when the Pratt Institute ran a survey for their thoughts on the 125 most admired icons created by its alumni and faculty.
The National Lampoon image showed a photograph of a dog with a gun to its head and the words: "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog".
In 2005, it was rated one of the 40 greatest covers of all time by the American Society of Magazine Editors.
Gross's charity art project Flip Cancer saw Gross, and others, drawing raised middle fingers in protest against the disease with the words 'Flip Cancer' written beneath.
The works were put on display at a gallery exhibition last year and at the time of his death, he was making plans to auction them in aid of research for cancer.
He is survived by his son, daughter and three grandchildren.
The scheduled 10:45 BST start at Lord's was delayed and, with further rain forecast, the match was called off.
England take one point from the match towards qualification for the 2017 World Cup, plus four points from their two previous wins in the series.
The tourists previously won the one-off Test match at Wormsley by six wickets.
"India showed what a strong side they are during the Test match and I am really pleased with how quickly we bounced back from that disappointment and delivered when it counted," said England captain Charlotte Edwards.
The ICC World Championship involves the top eight-ranked women's teams in the world and over the next two years all teams will play each other in a three-match ODI series either at home or away.
The top four teams will qualify for the Women's World Cup in England in 2017.
Countries finishing in the bottom four will take part in the Women's World Cup qualifying tournament in early 2017 against teams from the ICC's regional structures to determine the final four participants for the event.
England will next play a three-match Twenty20 series against South Africa starting on 1 September in Chelmsford, with live commentary on the BBC Sport website.
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said that the thoughtful, hat-wearing figure was discovered in recent excavations in Yehud, east of Tel Aviv.
The ornament topped a jug in the Middle Bronze Age and was found in a grave.
The Times of Israel compared the figure's head-in-hands pose to The Thinker, the famous work by French sculptor Auguste Rodin.
Yet at just 18cm (7in) tall, the Israeli discovery comes in 10 times smaller than Rodin's famous bronze from the turn of the 20th Century.
The IAA's excavation director, Gilad Itach, said the piece was "unique" as it was the first such example found in Israel, noting an "impressive" attention to detail.
He also said its inclusion in a grave would indicate that the deceased was a person of importance.
Other offerings found nearby included daggers, arrowheads and an axe head.
Mr Itach said it was hard to determine who created the mysterious figure, or who it was buried with, as there was no writing found at the scene.
Nottingham city councillor Dave Trimble said he had "major concerns about the risks it could pose to children and families in the city centre".
The march on Saturday would end at the city's Market Square where a temporary beach is located.
Police said the march could not be stopped but added officers were "constantly reviewing" the situation.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
But Mr Trimble said: "Surely the safety of Nottingham citizens, particularly where young children are involved, has to come first?"
A video on the EDL website said the march was being organised to raise concerns about "Nottinghamshire residents involved in Islamic terror-related activities".
It also called for a program to "reduce the threat of Islamification in the UK".
Ch Supt Ian Howick, from Nottinghamshire Police, said the force had a legal obligation to keep the public safe and facilitate peaceful protests.
"Since being notified of the group's intentions, we have committed significant resources to ensure that we can meet both obligations and are taking all available steps to minimise the disruption caused to all those affected," he said.
"Having reviewed all available information, intelligence and human rights obligations, the specific conditions required to prevent a planned procession from taking place have not been met.
"However, the situation remains under constant review and, should this change, we have the necessary legislation in place to continue to keep Nottinghamshire safe."

Rooney, 31, announced last week that he is staying at Old Trafford, after being heavily linked with a move to China.
The England captain has also been linked with a return to former club Everton, but Mourinho said talk of such a move "makes no sense".
Striker Ibrahimovic's one-season deal includes an option for a second year.
The Swede, 35, has scored 26 goals in 38 appearances for United since joining on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain in July.
He scored twice in Sunday's 3-2 EFL Cup final victory over Southampton.
After the final, Ibrahimovic said he will "see what happens" about extending his contract.
Mourinho said: "I see him staying. The next transfer window will bring us to a different level because I will bring in a few players. Zlatan will be fundamental. I think he will stay."
On Rooney, he added: "What I have is a very strong message, 'I don't go anywhere. I want to fight with this team and help until the end of season'. 100% he will be with us for the rest of season.
"Next season, 100% I would like him to be with us, but always the player is very important."
United, who are sixth in the Premier League, host Bournemouth on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
Mourinho also backed Luke Shaw to make himself indispensable as United's left-back.
Shaw, 21, has not played since the 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan at the end of January, but Mourinho hinted the England international would start against Bournemouth.
"In practical terms we have lots of left-backs," he said.
"It doesn't look like it, but the reality is that Daley Blind, Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian are all playing left-back and can play there. They are different players.
"I think the one that should be in the couple of years the best of all - because potentially he should have all the conditions to be the best of all - is Luke Shaw.
"By age, by physicality, by intensity, aggressive going forward, he should be the best. But to be the best you need to work hard. It's what he's trying to do."
BBC Sport's Simon Stone
Mourinho took the initiative at today's news conference. Sensing what was going to be asked as he sat down in front of the media, he said: "Rooney and Shaw."
He then proceeded to talk for four minutes and 20 seconds about club captain Rooney, and out-of-favour left-back Shaw, who are both in United's squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Mourinho said Shaw, who last played against Wigan in the FA Cup in January, has been "working hard" on his fitness.
On Rooney, Mourinho said the fact he was ready to come on at Wembley when Ibrahimovic scored his winner was proof the United captain remains a valued member of his squad.
The Portuguese said Rooney would "100%" be at United for the rest of the season, which is fairly obvious now the Chinese transfer window has closed.
However, after comments from Everton this week suggesting the England forward's former club may offer him a summer return to Goodison Park, Mourinho said he wants the 31-year-old to stay, adding it could not be guaranteed because he will not keep unhappy players.
The International Development Committee says evidence is "overwhelming" the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels has violated humanitarian law.
The committee called for the UK to support an international inquiry into the alleged abuses.
The government said it has a "rigorous" arms export control system.
In a letter to International Development Secretary Justine Greening, the committee said the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia had risen "significantly" during the conflict.
It said close to £3bn worth of export licences for arms had been granted in the last six months.
They include £1bn worth of licences for bombs, rockets and missiles issued in the three months to the end of September last year compared to £9m of licences awarded over the same period the previous year.
"We are shocked that the UK government can continue to claim that there have been no breaches of humanitarian law by the coalition and not only continue sales of arms to Saudi Arabia but significantly increase them since the start of the coalition intervention into Yemen," said the cross-party committee.
"We are convinced that there is more than a clear risk that weapons sold to Saudi Arabia might be used in the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law.
"The evidence that we have heard is overwhelming that the Saudi-led coalition has committed violations of international law, using equipment supplied by the UK."
The committee's intervention comes after a leaked UN report found the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iranian-backed Houthis had targeted civilians in air strikes in a "widespread and systematic" way.
The UN panel said civilians were also being deliberately starved as a war tactic and called for an inquiry into human rights abuses.
The war in Yemen escalated in March, when a coalition led by Saudi Arabia entered the conflict on the side of the internationally recognised government to try to oust Houthi rebels from the capital Sanaa and other areas. All sides have been accused of targeting civilians.
The UK supports the coalition and, along with the US and other countries, has been supplying some of the weapons and jets used in the bombing campaign.
But attacks directed against civilians or civilian targets constitute violations of international humanitarian law.
The government claims it has one of the most "transparent arms export control systems in the world" with each licence application assessed on a "case-by-case" basis.
It regularly stresses to the Saudis and the Houthis the need to comply with humanitarian law, according to a spokesman.
International Development Minister Desmond Swayne stopped short of backing an inquiry, telling the Commons: "We've supported the UN Human Rights Council resolution, which requires the government of Yemen to investigate with the support of the UN."
He added that only a peace process to restore the Yemeni government "will end the suffering" in the region.
Saudi Arabia is Britain's biggest market for defence exports, worth $1.7bn (£1.1bn) last year, according to IHS's Global Defence Trade Report.
BB has hired a US lawyer, but has not yet filed a lawsuit.
In February, hackers succeeded in instructing the New York Fed to transfer money from BB's account to accounts in The Philippines.
After the theft, the NY Fed said the breach did not occur in its system.
It also said that the payments were vetted through the "standard authentication protocols."
"To date, there is no evidence of any attempt to penetrate Federal Reserve systems in connection with the payments in question, and there is no evidence that any Fed systems were compromised," the bank said in a statement.
Criminal charges were filed in Manila against two suspects, on Tuesday.
The cyber heist is one of the largest ever committed.
According to a report seen by Reuters, the BB is "preparing the ground to make a legitimate claim for the loss of funds against the [Federal Reserve Bank of New York] through a legal process".
The report from the BB alleges that 35 sets of payment transfer instructions were sent to the New York Fed, 30 of which were rejected by the US bank.
The incident has led to the resignation of Bangladesh's central bank governor Atiur Rahman.
Bangladeshi investigators are still combing through the central banks' systems for more evidence and US investigators have stepped in to help.
An opponent has yet to be announced for 30-year-old Barnes but the contest will be at the Waterfront Hall in his home city of Belfast.
Barnes made it two pro wins from two with a points victory in a six-rounder against Adrian Dimas Garzon in March.
Jamie Conlan will also feature on the bill at the Waterfront.
Unbeaten Conlan defeated Yader Cardoza on a split decision to take the vacant WBC International Silver super-flyweight crown on 10 March.
Conlan, also 30 and from Belfast, is aiming to secure a world title eliminator having won all 19 of his professional fights.
Mrs Maguire, 61, was stabbed to death by student Will Cornick at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds in 2014.
The Leeds Safeguarding Children's Board review said Cornick spoke of an "adrenaline rush" and "good times" after stabbing his Spanish teacher.
He was detained for a minimum of 20 years after admitting murder.
More on this story and other news in Leeds and West Yorkshire
Cornick, who was 15 at the time of the murder, told the report's author, Nick Page, he had gone to his Spanish class in "a red mist, not conscious of his surroundings".
Earlier he had packed a rucksack containing two knives.
He approached Mrs Maguire from behind and stabbed her in the upper back and neck seven times in front of "a large number of pupils".
The teenager then pursued her as she fled from the classroom and continued his attack, before being restrained by members of staff.
Mr Page found there had been no "credible warning signs" that could have been picked up by the school about Cornick's behaviour. The report went on to say it was an "unprecedented emergency situation".
However, no-one had realised the "deep antipathy" Cornick had developed towards Mrs Maguire over two years.
Threats made on social media and to his fellow pupils were viewed by them as "fantasy", the report said.
Report recommendations
Mr Page said: "Will's school friends and peers considered that he had a dark sense of humour and could talk very negatively and unkindly about people he did not like.
"None of the young people in the class or friendship group who heard Will talk about killing Ann, and were told about or shown the knives he had brought into school on 28 April 2014, had believed that he would actually carry out an assault."
He said staff had "acted instinctively and demonstrated initiative and bravery" during and immediately after the attack on Mrs Maguire.
Mark Peel, independent chairman of the safeguarding board, said: "It is also reassuring that this outcome of the learning lessons review is in agreement with the findings of the court, in that this tragic incident could not have been foreseen or prevented, and that the only person responsible for Ann Maguire's death has been punished accordingly."
Mrs Maguire's family, who have previously called for a full public inquiry, said they would need time to consider the findings before commenting, but added the review "appears to be significantly different from an early draft report which we viewed some months ago".
Ian Murch, National Union of Teachers' treasurer, said it was important to look for warning signs.
He said: "You can't develop big security systems for every school in the country because of an incident which will happen once in twenty years, maybe not even that."
The operation follows months of investigation into the Artemis brothel.
Brothel managers are accused of evading some €17.5m (£14m; $19.7m) in social security payments since 2006.
Prosecutors allege that staff at Artemis were forced to pretend to be self-employed to avoid the payments.
Police say the raid was conducted in cooperation with customs officials and tax fraud investigators.
Inside a German mega-brothel
Germany legalised prostitution in 2002, creating an industry now thought to be worth approximately €16bn per year.
So-called "mega-brothels" are common, attracting tourists from neighbouring countries with stricter laws, and sex workers from Eastern Europe.
The number of prostitutes in Germany is thought to have doubled to 400,000 over the last 20 years.
Investment, exploration and new technology form the focus of this year's event at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC).
Scotland's Economy Secretary Keith Brown and UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Amber Rudd were among those in attendance.
Discussion on the EU referendum is also playing a part in the two-day event.
Jobs lost as a result of the downturn in the UK oil and gas sector could top 120,000 by the end of this year, according to a report last week.
Industry body Oil and Gas UK has estimated 84,000 jobs linked to the industry went in 2015, with 40,000 losses expected this year.
The dinner, his eighth, was a chance for the US president to make fun of himself, his colleagues and opponents.
As in previous years, Donald Trump was a regular target, but the favourite for the Republican presidential nomination was not present.
Mr Obama's dramatic exit, featuring a mic drop, gained a standing ovation.
The event was attended by journalists, politicians and film and television stars.
"The Republican establishment is incredulous that he's their most likely nominee. They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be president. But in fairness he has spent years meeting with leaders from around the world: Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan."
"Is this dinner too tacky for the Donald? What could he possibly be doing instead? Is he at home eating a Trump steak? Tweeting out insults to Angela Merkel? What's he doing?"
"Foreign leaders they have been looking ahead, anticipating my departure. Last week, Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. That was a slap in the face. A clear breach of protocol."
"Ted had a tough week. He went to Indiana... stood on a basketball court and called the hoop a basketball ring. What else is in his lexicon? Baseball sticks, football hats, but, sure I'm the foreign one!"
"The end of the republic has never looked better," Mr Obama told Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus. "Congratulations on all your success. The Republican party, the nomination process - it's all going great."
"In fact somebody recently said to me, 'Mr President, you are so yesterday. Justin Trudeau has completely replaced you. He's so handsome, he's so charming. He's the future.' And I said: 'Justin, just give it a rest.' "
"Eight years ago I said it was time to change the tone of our politics. In hindsight, I clearly should have been more specific."
"While in England, I did have lunch with her Majesty the Queen. Took in a performance of Shakespeare, hit the links with David Cameron. Just in case anybody is still debating if I'm black enough, I think that settles the debate."
"Obama out." [drops microphone, exits, gains standing ovation]
In December, it was announced that half of Glasgow's 16 jobcentres would shut to save money and to reflect a rise in the use of online and phone services.
The Department for Work and Pensions said it expected affected employees to move to other sites, adding that any redundancies would be "very small".
Scottish Employability Minister Jamie Hepburn said Scotland was being disproportionately affected.
Union officials said the wider announcement would mean that more than one in 10 jobcentres in Scotland, England and Wales would shut, putting thousands of staff jobs at risk.
UK Employment Minister Damian Hinds said: "We will always make sure that people have the support they need to get into and progress within work, that's why we are recruiting 2,500 more work coaches to help those who need it most.
"The way the world works has changed rapidly in the last 20 years and the welfare state needs to keep pace.
"As more people access their benefits through the internet many of our buildings are under-used. We are concentrating our resources on what we know best helps people into work.
"The changes we've announced today will help ensure that the way we deliver our services reflect the reality of today's welfare system."

A spokeswoman for the DWP said some of the jobcentres being closed were very close to other sites.
The latest changes include:
The spokeswoman said two jobcentres where the distance people would need to travel would be more than three miles - which will be consulted on - were Broxburn which is planned to move to Livingston Jobcentre and Grangemouth which is planned to move to Falkirk.
Mr Hepburn told BBC Scotland: "This will obviously be a very concerning time for the communities served by the particular jobcentres to be closed.
He said there were also a number of back office closures proposed and that it was unclear if there would be any compulsory redundancies.
"It's been a somewhat shambolic process," he said. "The drip feed of information has not been very clear which has caused further confusion."
He added: "What's been absolutely unacceptable is the failure to consult with those communities directly affected but also with the Scottish government, despite the fact that the Smith Commission talked of a greater role for the Scottish government in terms of governance for Jobcentre Plus here in Scotland.
"We've had no prior warning about the specific closures we've been hearing about today. That's unacceptable.
"It looks as though there's been a disproportionately high number of closures here in Scotland and given the issues of rurality and deprivation in some of the communities served by these jobcentres, that again, is unacceptable."
Mr Hepburn has already written to the DWP over the plans to close half of Glasgow's jobcentres and said he would also be voicing his new concerns.
Alison Johnstone, Social Security spokeswoman for the Scottish Greens said: "The UK government appears determined to punish the very people who need the most support in our society. They should be making it easier, not harder, to find employment.
"Not everyone has reliable access to the internet or can afford to make the numerous phone calls needed to speak to prospective employers. There's also the cost of travelling longer distances to job centres. It's simply wrong-headed.
"These changes will be hugely disruptive and while the DWP says that most staff will have the option to relocate or take alternative roles, that won't suit everyone."
Brown Clee in Ditton Priors and Clunbury closed on Wednesday, Shropshire Council announced.
However, both schools said they had now reopened and pupils had returned to class.
The Met Office has a yellow weather warning in place for Shropshire. It predicted more wintry showers later, which may be heavy at times, with a risk of hail and thunder.
The council said: "As far as we know, all schools are back open today after the snow yesterday."
In an internal document seen by the BBC, the train drivers' union Aslef proposes 24-hour strikes on 27 January and 15 and 17 February.
The union's executive committee will meet on Monday to consider the action.
The Night Tube, which was due to begin in September, will see 24-hour services on five lines on Fridays and Saturdays.
In the document, Aslef said it had been left no other choice than to call a strike as, it claims, London Underground had refused to speak with it since their last meeting on 10 November.
London Underground has offered a four-year pay deal to its workers as part of the Night Tube changes and said it will hire part-time drivers to staff an all-night service at weekends.
But unions have been seeking assurances for months about terms and conditions for their members.
The Aslef document said: "We genuinely regret the inconvenience that will be caused but the behaviour of London Underground's senior management team have left us with no other choice.
"We want to see an all-night service introduced and we are not opposed to the recruitment of part-time staff but we will not accept a zero-hour's culture being introduced and working conditions undermined."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has also said it will be considering its own report into the "total breakdown of negotiations" at an internal meeting on Monday.
An RMT spokesman said: "That report will include a number of recommendations for action in support of our members in this dispute."
London Underground is yet to comment, but has started the process of recruiting 180 part-time train drivers.
A 24-hour service on the Jubilee, Victoria, Piccadilly, Central and Northern lines had been due to start at weekends on 12 September.
Three cheers for the price of one.
Before you invite friends over for an unexpected party, there is the small matter of whether you are entitled to drink those extra bottles.
The answer is no. You should contact the seller asking them to collect the extra crates. In fact, a trader can take court action if you refuse to return the goods after it has asked for them back.
Many thousands of consumers have found themselves in this situation, judging by cases seen by consumer complaints advisers.
Examples from James Walker, founder of independent consumer rights website Resolver, include duplications on orders of alcohol, mobile phones, and even a £500 kite. At times, errors occurred after the original order never turned up.
Helen Dewdney, author of The Complaining Cow blog and a book about how to complain, said her thoughts on the subject became the second most read post on her blog.
"Many people receive items that they did not request. However, most of the time they are not unsolicited goods," she says.
"Well over a hundred comments [on the blog], and only one was truly about unsolicited goods."
The distinction here is important. For example, an item that should have gone to a neighbour, but the house number on the package is wrong, or a mistaken duplicate order are not unsolicited.
You can only keep hold of an item if it is addressed to you, there has been no previous contact with the company, and it arrives out of the blue. This is a genuine unsolicited item and is usually used as a marketing tactic, explains Citizens Advice.
There are various rules regarding goods and services that arrive for free, or that a company fails to charge for. Hardly any of these regulations work in favour of consumers.
If a customer enters into a contract but a company fails to take any payment, then the item or service still needs to be paid for.
Similarly, if customers at a restaurant realise that something is missing from their bill, they should point it out to a member of staff. Intending not to pay for any item that has been received can be viewed as fraud, says Citizens Advice. In summary, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Many people would argue that there is a moral obligation to pay for things that have been consumed. Others say that if restaurant staff make an error on the bill, then it is their fault that the full amount is not paid.
Those lines become a little more blurred if the diners only realise on the bus home that they were never charged for their dessert.
The growth of online shopping means that deliveries have increased in number, and so too have mistakes.
Items arriving in the mail is the one area where there might be some luck for consumers - even if they have relatively little to rely on in law.
It is extremely rare for genuine unsolicited items to be delivered to your door. This is when something arrives completely out of the blue, is addressed to you, and is something you did not order or ask for.
It does happen, but often it is a marketing gimmick with an item of very low value. Whatever the reason, the Consumer Contracts Regulations of 2013 mean you can keep the freebie.
Even so, with an item of value it is worth contacting the trader to check. Citizens Advice has a template letter pointing out that the trader can collect the item at its expense in the next 14 days "but after this time I will treat the goods as my own".
Unsolicited goods - in other words, freebies - do not include items sent by mistake, such as the wine crates example from earlier.
This is also true of refunded items that are faulty and waiting for collection, items meant for someone else, items sent in addition to an order, or replacement orders that have not been paid for.
In these cases, anyone who wants to keep these items will have to pay for them.
Otherwise, it is up to you to contact the trader to tell them to come and collect these goods. You should not be expected to pay for postage and packaging if sending them back.
Honesty was the best policy for Robert Quinn who, when an engineering student in 2014, was sent 46 items worth £3,600 - including a 3D TV worth £889, tablets, a games console and a leaf blower - owing to a mistake by Amazon.
The items were in fact returns, incorrectly sent to his home in Bromley, but after contacting Amazon, the company allowed him to keep them. He sold some off for charity, although his mum got the leaf blower.
The temptation for anyone in this situation, or one somewhat less dramatic, is to stay quiet and keep the items.
Whatever your views morally, the law clearly favours the supplier in this situation.
Craig McAdam, principal lawyer within Dispute Resolution at Slater and Gordon lawyers in Manchester, says that under criminal law this could be regarded as theft - defined as dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving them of it.
A charge of theft could indefinitely hang over anyone who chooses to keep something that is not theirs.
In civil law, the company could seek to recover the goods or monetary value when somebody keeps an item not intended for them.
Under these rules, the trader has six years to chase the unpaid debt from the time the debt arose under a contract.
There is a silver lining, according to Mr McAdam. The cost of retrieving an item or payment may end up being more than the item itself is worth. Yet, he says it is always worth informing the trader.
So traders may reward an individual's honesty by letting them keep whatever item is sent in error - finally allowing the recipient to raise a glass to their good fortune.
Nigerian teenager Kelechi Iheanacho stabbed home his first senior goal after Samir Nasri's shot was saved.
After a scrappy first half, Jesus Navas shot wide of an empty net for City after rounding keeper Alex McCarthy.
Sergio Aguero limped out with a knee injury, three days before Juventus's Champions League visit.
Club-record signing Kevin de Bruyne was brought on in his place as a first-half substitute, with managers Manuel Pellegrini and Alan Pardew having a heated argument over the incident.
Palace defender Scott Dann received a yellow card for the late challenge on Argentine Aguero as City spent a large part of the match struggling to create offensively.
A well-organised Palace came closest when Dwight Gayle volleyed wide.
Reaction to this match and the rest of Saturday's action
Read how Man City snatched a late victory here
The 18-year-old Nigerian striker had previously played three minutes and 49 seconds for Manchester City, in the 2-0 win over Watford.
He came on for Wilfried Bony with a couple of minutes remaining on Saturday and just 54 seconds later was alert enough to tap home a close-range rebound after Alex McCarthy spilled Samir Nasri's shot.
Having signed for City in 2014, from Taye Academy in Nigeria, he impressed on the club's pre-season tours of Australia, Vietnam and Germany.
He played five times, scored twice and could now be considered as City's third-choice striker.
Without the Argentine on the field, City struggled to create many clear-cut chances despite dominating possession, until Iheanacho's late intervention.
Their start to the campaign - five wins from five and no goals conceded - suggests they have the confidence to finally test the best in Europe, ahead of Tuesday's visit of the Italian champions.

But, with Aguero now surely a major doubt and Raheem Sterling missing Saturday with a slight hamstring injury, City could have to rely on Wilfried Bony to show why £28m was paid for the Ivory Coast striker last season.
After the loan departure of Edin Dzeko to Roma, Bony is City's only other out and out forward, although City boss Manuel Pellegrini has hinted Iheanacho could be much more involved this season.
"He's just 18 and started working with our squad last season, but he was unlucky and had a big injury in the last three months of the season," he said.
"This year he started pre-season with the squad and will be a very important player for the future. He's one of the reasons I didn't bring another striker in when we sold Edin Dzeko.
"He deserves that chance."
Results in the Premier League so far this season have shown the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have struggled to see off teams they would be expected to beat.
But Manchester City have had no such problems and on Saturday dominated a battling Crystal Palace - who beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last time out.
City are now 11 points clear of champions Chelsea in the Premier League and five ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Far from over but ominous signs for their rivals.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "Even though we beat Manchester City last season this was a better performance.
"It's a shame about the injury to Aguero because we are not a malicious team. We both knew this was going to be a tough game and it was."
Manchester City host Juventus in their Champions League opener on Tuesday night, while Crystal Palace travel to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.

Police officers were called to a property on Crossways Road, in the Ely area of Cardiff on Friday.
A 64-year-old woman sustained serious injuries after an incident involving a dog and died later at the University Hospital of Wales in the city.
Superintendent Andy Valentine of South Wales Police described it as a "tragic incident".
He said: "The woman's family are understandably extremely distressed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.
"I would like to reassure local residents that this is an isolated incident and a thorough police investigation into what happened on Friday is being conducted.
"I would also like to thank the local community for their support and co-operation during the investigation so far."
The man will appear at Cardiff Magistrates Court on Monday.
A 17-year-old male was also arrested in connection with the incident. He is on police bail pending further enquiries.
McGuinness must devise a strategy to combat the all-attacking style of the defending champions in their All-Ireland semi-final in Croke Park.
In what is expected to be the most tactical game of the year, McGuinness says the game is "one hundred per cent about football players".
"We trust (players) to out and do a job," said McGuinness.
"I have been asked about our ability to hold the Dublin half forward line and how that would impact on our half back line. but we trust our half back line to go out and do a job.
"Whenever we have passed the information on that we think is really important for the game, it's up to the players to make the decisions then.
"You give that information, they'll clarify it with you, and try to execute it to the best of their ability."
McGuinness, who led Donegal to a third Ulster title in four years last month, is unconcerned about being rated as rank 8/1 outsiders on Sunday, despite his team having been All-Ireland champions two years ago.
"We were underdogs in every single game in 2012, so that doesn't make a difference.
"Our approach is the same. It doesn't matter if (bookmakers) sit at a computer and say 'that's the number'.
"No one knows what goes on in our dressing room. You just have to get things right and put faith in the players.
"You could take it personally and you could use it. But this is about football, that's all. There are a lot of things we need to get right and that's what we're focusing on."
Last year the Polish government approved a threefold increase in logging in the protected Bialowieza forest, home to bison and rare birds.
Unesco, EU officials and green activists protested against it.
The European Commission, which is taking legal action against Warsaw, asked the European Court of Justice to impose the provisional ban.
Environmental activist group ClientEarth welcomed the decision, saying continued logging would cause "serious and irreparable damage to this priceless natural environment".
The group's lawyer said: "In the history of the EU, emergency measures like this ban have only been used three times in nature conservation issues.
"So far there is no case in which an interim measure of the court was not respected. If Polish authorities do not follow that decision, it will be a serious conflict with the EU law."
Poland's Environment Minister Jan Szyszko says the logging could help to curb a bark beetle infestation.
The European Commission says it puts endangered species at risk.
If Poland loses the main ongoing case, it will be liable for multimillion euro fines.
The court will meet in a few months to determine whether the injunction will remain in place while the European Commission's case on the matter continues, a spokeswoman told the BBC.

County took an early lead when Tim Chow turned home Liam Boyce's cross before Darren O'Dea levelled from the penalty spot.
Jim O'Brien was sent off for a second booking before Boyce slotted home from the penalty spot to put County back in front.
Danny Williams saw red for Dundee late on as County sealed the points.
It was the perfect start from the home side and a perfect finish for manager Jim McIntyre.
This win cannot be underestimated. Just their second league victory of 2017, which significantly eases fears of a relegation battle.
After a good start, Chow slotted home after fantastic work by Boyce. He gathered in a deep position, sparked a break and burst forward to lay on for Chow to slam home.
Boyce was extremely unlucky moments after County conceded when he watched Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain produce a magnificent save to divert the ball off the bar and away.
He wasn't to be denied as County, up against it following O'Brien's second booking for a dive in the box, were rewarded for pressing on.
Michael Gardyne was clearly caught as he danced into the area and Boyce was cool as ever, slotting the ball up the middle to earn a crucial win.
County showed real character to deliver, down to 10-men, with the pressure very much on.
This is a fifth defeat in a row for Dundee, but they will feel hard done-by after a spirited display.
They responded strongly to falling behind with O'Dea and Mark O'Hara going close and showed character after the recent thumping by Aberdeen.
O'Dea took responsibility when the chance arose after Henrik Ojaama was upended in the box and slammed home the resultant penalty.
They held off a determined County in the second half and looked on course to maintain a two-point lead in the table over their hosts and a five-point advantage over bottom-placed Inverness until the dying embers of the match.
It all went horribly wrong with the concession of that late spot kick.
It got even worse when they claimed for another penalty, a melee ensued and Williams was ordered off for his second yellow.
Manager Paul Hartley will see positives, but the reality is their situation is becoming more concerning with every passing game.
Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "It was a nervous affair. I think in the end we deserved it.
"We know that we have got character in that dressing-room.
"It's been a disappointing campaign for us, we can't hide from that.
"We've not won enough games at home. There's been several of those games that we should have, but people don't want to hear that.
"I know I've got a group of players who care, who try to do the right things and you saw that tonight."
Dundee assistant manager Gerry McCabe: "We can't fault the players for their commitment tonight, but so disappointing to lose the goal in the dying seconds of the game.
"It was a positive response. The boys are so disappointed.
"We'd have accepted a point and I'm sure Jim McIntyre would have been the same.
"When they went down to 10 men, it opened up a wee bit for us and maybe an opportunity to go and win the game.
"Seven games to go, seven cup finals for us. We've spoken to the players about this.
"They know the situation. It's all about the results, not the performances now."

Stephen Talbot, 58, from Wamphray, was last seen at about 16:00 on Monday.
He had been on a camping trip at Garrogill, near Moffat, where mountain rescue teams and a police helicopter had been carrying out extensive searches.
Police Scotland said the search has been suspended while identification of the body takes place.
Educational material on dementia is being made available to schools, in conjunction with the Alzheimer's Society.
Education Minister Kirsty Williams said the resources would help develop young people's "understanding and compassion for people affected by dementia".
It is estimated there are 45,000 people with dementia in Wales.
The initiative was launched at Ysgol Maesydderwen in Ystradglynlais on Friday.
Ms Williams said ministers were committed to making Wales a "truly dementia-friendly nation" and that "starts with education and raising awareness".
Sue Phelps, director of the Alzheimer's Society in Wales, added: "These resources will help young people to better understand dementia and how to support people living with the condition in their family or community.
"Young people today have an important role to play and can change the future for people with dementia in Wales."
Hospital statistics revealed there were 632 new cases between September 2014 and March 2015, a report from the West Midlands Police and Crime Panel said.
Between January and November last year 118 cases were referred to the West Midlands force.
A new task force to tackle mutilation was being launched, the panel said.
Further work could be carried out to consider "how to achieve best outcomes in tackling FGM", it said.
The panel said there was "inconsistency across the region" and "different areas and organisations are at different places to deal with this form of child abuse".
Muslim Women's Network UK said flashbacks at least twice a week were common in the women it had been talking to, the report stated.
A regional task force would ensure "better co-ordination of agencies" to eradicate the practice, which has been illegal in Britain for 30 years, the panel said.
The report said: "We call upon all relevant authorities, including those involved in law enforcement, the justice system and public health, to do everything in their power to protect young girls from this life-endangering, health-threatening crime."
There had been no reports to West Midlands Police of mutilation in the area but there had been some intelligence to suggest girls "are brought to Birmingham to be cut", the panel said.
She launched her campaign website on Sunday, telling Americans she wanted to be their "champion".
Mrs Clinton ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 but lost to Barack Obama.
The overwhelming Democratic favourite, she had been expected to declare her candidacy for months.
In a video on her website, Mrs Clinton declared: "I am running for president".
"Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times," she said, "but the deck is still stacked in favour of those at the top.
"Everyday Americans need a champion and I want to be that champion," she added.
The video features a number of Americans talking about their hopes and aspirations.
It ends with Mrs Clinton saying: "So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote because it's your time and I hope you'll join me on this journey".
Mrs Clinton's team said would spend the next few weeks building up grassroots support in the early Democratic primary states; she tweeted that she is on her way to Iowa.
She is expected to hold her first rally, officially kicking off her campaign, in mid-May.
This time around, Mrs Clinton's path to the Democratic nomination appears much easier. Unlike 2008 there's no inspirational, once-in-a-generation opponent like Mr Obama waiting in the wings.
But if Mrs Clinton's nomination campaign will be easier, actually winning the presidency could be just as difficult - or more so.
Unlike 2008, the Democratic nominee will be defending eight years of her party's rule, with all the baggage that comes with it, and a Republican Party no longer on its heels.
Is this Hillary Clinton's time?
Mrs Clinton has already had the backing of Mr Obama, who told a news conference at the Summit of the Americas in Panama on Saturday that she would make an "excellent president".
And her successor in the post of secretary of state, John Kerry, called her a "good friend", telling ABC's This Week programme she "did a terrific job of rebuilding alliances that had been shredded over the course of the prior years".
But the attacks from the Republicans have already begun.
Republican presidential contender Rand Paul criticised Mrs Clinton for her handling of a September 2012 attack on a US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in which the US ambassador was among those killed.
He also said questions remained about funds received by a charity set up by Mr and Mrs Clinton.
Jeb Bush, former Florida Governor and brother of George W Bush who is also considering whether to stand as a Republican candidate, tweeted: "We must do better than Hillary."
Sunshine Coast player Ackerman was knocked unconscious in a tackle by Molo during Saturday's Queensland Cup game.
The 25-year-old never regained consciousness and died in hospital.
Queensland Rugby League said Molo's tackle was referred following a standard weekly review of the weekend's matches by its match review committee.
"An incident involving Norths Devils player Francis Molo has been referred to the judiciary at a date to be confirmed," said a statement on the QRL website.
In its weekly review of games, the QRL has charged nine other players for offences, but 20-year-old Molo's inclusion does not outline the details of any possible charge he might face at the judiciary.
Meanwhile, reports in Australia say that the organs of Ackerman, who has two children, may be donated following his death.
Falcons chairman Ashley Robinson told ABC: "That was one of the family's major concerns - about the organs - and that is definitely happening and obviously someone is going to benefit from that."
Fans also paid tribute to Ackerman on social media, posting pictures of rugby footballs with the hashtags #putoutyourfooty and #putyourfootyout.
The tribute is similar to the one for Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died after being struck on the neck by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match last November.
Later this week we should have a clearer idea of who is going to form the next government. But - in what has been called the UK's first social media election - how instrumental has this battle been?
BBC Asian Network has teamed up with independent political researchers Demos to look at the digital campaign from the point of view of three young, passionate and undecided voters.
Over the last three months they have been following local and national candidates from across the political spectrum on Facebook and Twitter to see whether their minds can be swayed.
Sakib Rashid, 20
Biomedical student Sakib Rashid is a first-time voter from London's Brent North constituency, a seat held by Labour back in 2010. He came over to the UK from Bangladesh when he was only a year old and has grown up with his mother, brother and sister in a two-bedroom council flat.
At the beginning of the experiment he said he saw a lot of "tormenting" and "finger pointing between the different parties".
But as the campaign has entered its final stages, he says that has changed. "I really, really like what's going on now as we get closer to the election with everyone trying to persuade you rather than just putting down other parties and being really childish."
Simmi Juss, 32
Like Sakib, Simmi Juss from the Wolverhampton South West constituency, is also completely undecided. She is in a tight marginal seat that the Conservatives narrowly won from Labour in 2010.
She is a self-confessed social media addict, but has found the constant political messages filling her timelines to be at times over powering and confusing.
The regeneration of Wolverhampton city centre is a key issue to her, but she is disappointed that her local candidates have not engaged more on the different digital platforms.
What really sticks in her mind has been the funny stories and "the things that are less policy-based and more personal-based".
Milifandom - the growing online group of teenage girls following Ed Miliband- is the campaign that will stay with her the most.
Iram Asim, 31
In the constituency of Linlithgow and Falkirk East, Iram Asim began the experiment politically invigorated by last year's referendum, but not knowing who to vote for.
For her too it has been the lighter moments on Twitter and Facebook that have stood out. She particularly liked a mock-up of Britain's Got Talent with David Cameron facing the panel of judges,
"It's pretty hilarious and it's something you would remember as well," she said.
But Iram feels politicians still have a lot to learn on their digital platforms. "They don't make the most of social media," she said. "They don't use it to their advantage, which they should. It's mostly used to taunt other parties."
Decision time
As the experiment nears its conclusion she admits that it has been both social media and the leaders' debates that are swaying her mind towards the SNP - she has not ruled out Labour though.
Of the three of them, though, it is Sakib who has had the most help from social media.
"I've seen a lot of policies being tweeted - it's actually helped me quite a lot to make my decision because now I know I don't have to go and read an article," he said. "I can see straightaway why I should vote for different parties."
Labour's stance on tuition fees chimes well with him, but it is the Conservatives proposals on welfare that could be the decisive factor. "I'll probably be voting Conservative. I say 'probably' because there's a very small chance that I could change my mind."
Simmi cannot decide between the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats, though. "At the moment it feels like I'm just going to be sort of closing my eyes and you know dropping a pin on one of the parties because I don't know."
Engagement
Comments like that are not likely to go down well with political campaigners who have poured huge amounts of time, resources and money into social media.
Carl Miller, from Demos, says the volume of traffic has been unprecedented. "Over the last 10 weeks of the long campaign we've seen 21 million Facebook interactions and over seven million tweets broadly about politics or the politicians fighting the election and trying to dominate the digital world," he said.
But just how effective have the parties been in getting their points across to the undecided voter?
For Sakib and Iram it has helped both of them narrow down their choice. In Simmi's case though, it hasn't given any politician a clear decisive edge.
What this digital campaign has achieved, though, is engaging the three of them with this election; it has also got them far more interested in what the different parties have to offer.

The 28-year-old was therefore even more impressed than his Wales team-mates when a footballing legend turned up to watch them train before Friday's Six Nations match against Ireland.
Thierry Henry, the former France, Arsenal and Barcelona forward, was at Wales' Vale of Glamorgan base as part of a coaching course with the Football Association of Wales.
The 39-year-old is now Belgium's assistant manager, and the World Cup winner was an intrigued onlooker on a blustery day near Cardiff, eager to exchange coaching tips with his Welsh rugby counterparts.
However, Henry did not appear to be too keen on joining in.
"It's pretty good to have him around. It's a bit surreal really to have a legend like him around," says Webb.
"I shook his hand and said hello. I don't think he fancied catching a few box kicks or whatever.
"As soon as the forwards came down he disappeared so I think he must be a back!"
Welsh morale has been tested after successive defeats against England Scotland but, even as a United fan, Webb was cheered by Henry's presence.
"It was great. We've had a great session that morning with the backs and it's great to have a couple of the Welsh football management and Thierry Henry come down and watch," he adds.
"It's been a good buzz around the hotel and the training sessions this week and Friday can't come quick enough."
Irish fans may be forgiven for thinking Wales are indulging in a little kidology by inviting Henry to a training session before their meeting at the Principality Stadium.
The Champions League winner, after all, is an infamous figure for many after his handball helped France beat the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup play-off in 2009.
When he is reminded of the controversy, Webb laughs.
"Maybe we should get him in here to do the press conference," he jokes.
"It's been good to have him around and pretty surreal. Hopefully he can bring us a little bit of luck on Friday night."
Wales are fourth in the Six Nations table, having surrendered half-time leads in both their previous games against England and Scotland.
Rob Howley's men have scored a total of just three points in the second halves of those matches, prompting criticism from fans and pundits alike - with many calling for changes to be made.
Webb is one player whose place seems secure after two fine individual displays in losing causes.
"I am really enjoying my rugby, but disappointed with results," he says.

"I pay no attention to that [calls for changes]. We have unbelievable talent in the squad, competition for places, guys who have won a Lions series, Grand Slams, the lot.
"Credit to Ireland, ranked fourth [in the world], beat New Zealand in the autumn and they are scoring a hell of a lot of points in their games.
"We know we have to stay together as a unit in defence and defend well and finish off our chances.
"We have created a number of opportunities in the last couple of games, but it is just that fine margin, the off-loads or forward passes, TMO decisions, which have not gone our way.
"I hope they will this Friday night and it will be a hell of a Test match."

Royal College of Surgeons president Clare Marx said the "shocking waste" was a symptom of NHS underfunding.
In a joint letter to the Sunday Times with NHS Providers chief executive Chris Hopson, she said patients and staff deserved better.
NHS England said only 1% of operations were cancelled at the last minute.
The letter said: "Because of bed shortages, staff including surgeons are now sometimes left kicking their heels, waiting for beds to become available so they can operate.
"Too often managers, nurses and doctors waste time trying to find somewhere to look after patients [after surgery].
"At a time when the NHS is being told to make the most of its resources, this is a shocking waste."
To minimise the risk of infections and delays in getting treatment, hospitals are meant to have no more than 85% of beds occupied.
A week of coverage by BBC News examining the state of the NHS across the UK as it comes under intense pressure during its busiest time of the year.

But Ms Marx and Mr Hopson, whose organisation represents NHS Trusts, said that overnight inpatient beds were "routinely" 89% occupied.
"This is partly because there is not enough social care capacity to look after our frail older patients in the community, so increasingly they cannot be discharged from hospital," they said.
The latest figures from NHS England revealed that more than 95% of beds were occupied last week.
Surgeon George Reese told the BBC Two documentary Hospital he recently had to delay operating for several hours until he could establish whether a bed would be available for one of his patients.
"Why should I feel victorious that I'm actually just allowed to do what I should have started doing at eight o'clock this morning?" he said.
"It's because the beds are so bad at the moment that it seems rare to be able to be allowed to actually go ahead and do an operation. Very bizarre."
And brain surgeon Kevin O'Neill told the documentary: "We are pretty much at 100% capacity - beyond actually.
"Ideally, what you need is a bit of leeway to deal with the reaction of surges in demand and emergency care...
"That's why we spend a lot of our time, rather than operating, running round trying to sort things out."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has previously said performance in elements of the NHS in England was "completely unacceptable".
His comments came as record numbers of patients spent more than four hours in accident and emergency units in England in January, according to figures leaked to the BBC.
Figures showed that 82% of patients in A&E - rather than the target 95% - were transferred, admitted or discharged within four hours during January.
The number of operations cancelled by the NHS in England also hit a 15-year high last year.
A total of 82,730 planned operations were cancelled at the last minute for non-clinical reasons - a third higher than in 2010.
There was disappointment too in the one-day competitions - falling to progress in the One Day Cup and a one-run defeat to Lancashire in the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast.
BBC Wales Sport cricket correspondent Edward Bevan and commentator Nick Webb give their end of season verdicts. All marks are out of 10.
Captain in the Championship and 50-over competition, Wallace's 68 victims were the most in the country and he was faultless behind the stumps, but short of runs again with a first-class average below 25.
Only batsman in the country to score 2,000 runs in all competitions. Set new one-day record with 169 not out at Sussex, though had a disappointing end to his championship season.
Only Glamorgan batsman with 1,000 first-class runs and won 50-overs place, but needs to convert his 50's into 100s.
Suffered from early-season struggles, and though he made some runs late in the season, it was not close enough to his previous best to keep him playing. Retired to concentrate on business career.
Was given championship chance and took it in style, grafting hard to top the averages. Provided usual entertainment in limited-overs game.
Short of runs in the championship and dropped, before coming back with run of 50's in One-Day Cup. Not enough to keep the veteran's remarkable career going and announced his retirement.
Contributed with bat and ball in all forms of the game as well as leading the T20 Blast side to within one run of a Finals Day appearance. Third Most Valuable Player in county cricket according to PCA statistics.
Half his championship runs came in one innings, making it a disappointing season for a talented batsman. Limited-overs contribution came mainly as a fielder.
Popular as a clubman but could not make much impact this season and left early with his contract ending.
High profile signing for T20 Blast but enthusiastic approach was not matched by match-winning displays.
Contributed in all forms with bat and ball with batting average rising above his bowling average- always a good marker for an all-rounder.
Another steady season taking more wickets than the previous year. Shows no signs of losing his eye as one of the country's most reliable fielders.
Attacking bowler who's already been noticed in higher circles and earmarked for England development, but figures did not really add up this year and missed out on closing games.
Glamorgan's player of the year. It was a superb season again for the fast bowler, who almost reached a 100 wickets in all cricket again despite missing three championship games.
Another whose season was impeded by injury, and needs to improve his strike rate to become a more regular fixture. At least he has survived the long-term injury curse that saw Huw Waters and John Glover forced to retire.

The 15 signatories, including the Dalai Lama, are urging politicians to completely phase out fossil fuels.
They argue that the rise in global temperatures must be limited to 1.5C in the future.
Observers say it is the first time that so many leading Buddhists have joined together on a global issue.
The statement from the leaders of over a billion Buddhists worldwide says that the causes of this "environmental crisis" are the use of fossil fuels, unsustainable consumption patterns, lack of awareness and lack of concern about the consequences of our actions.
The leaders urge negotiators to use "wisdom and compassion" to find an agreement at the Conference of the Parties in the French capital at the end of November.
"We are at a crucial crossroads where our survival and that of other species is at stake as a result of our actions," the statement says, arguing that the world must move to 100% renewable and clean energy.
The leaders call for a deal in Paris that will limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
This will encourage the many small island states who are pressing for 1.5 degree target with the view that anything beyond that may make their homes uninhabitable as seas rise in response to warming.
"Everyday life can easily lead us to forget that we are inextricably linked to the natural world through every breath we take, the water we drink and the food we eat," said Lama Lobzang, secretary of the International Buddhist Confederation.
"Humanity must act on the root causes of this crisis, which is driven by greed, thoughtlessness and a lack of concern about the consequences of our actions."
The Buddhist intervention comes in the wake of similar statements of concern about climate change from Catholic and Muslim leaders.
In their call, the Buddhists leaders say the welcome and support these declarations.
The 23-year-old striker announced on Tuesday that he will not sign a new five-year contract thought to be worth around £140,000 a week.
The Belgian also questioned whether Everton shared his ambition to play Champions League football.
"Everyone knows what can happen in football but you need to respect your contract," said Koeman.
"Of course I am not happy about that interview. If Everton is not a club with a lot of ambition I would not be manager.
"He has no problem. He is training how he needs to train, his behaviour - except some quotes in this interview - is what I like from the player and there is no reason to put him out of the team.
"The team needs Rom, and Rom needs the team to score goals.
"But I am not so afraid about his situation because the player has more than two years on his contract."
Lukaku, who is the Premier League's joint-top scorer with 19 goals this season, has been linked with a return to former club Chelsea, from whom he joined Everton for £28m in 2014.
He spoke to the media on Wednesday at a club-organised community event and also voiced his concerns over Everton's pursuit of several transfer targets.
"There were some players that we could have got, that I knew the club could have got, and they didn't get," said the Belgium international.
"No matter where you play, you want to be remembered. You cannot only be remembered by scoring goals, you want to be remembered by winning trophies.
"That is what the fans want. So instead of living in the past, you have to think ahead."
Koeman has not yet ruled out disciplining Lukaku for his interview, but is still hopeful the striker will extend his stay at Goodison Park.
"They are still trying to get the contract over the line," he added.
Everton, who are seventh in the league, host 18th-placed Hull City on Saturday.
Tyshawn Lee was lured into an alley in the city's South Side and shot dead because of his father's gang ties, officers said at the time.
The killing caused outrage in a city with high levels of gun violence.
The police force in Chicago have vowed to destroy the gang they say was behind the boy's death.
A second suspect is in custody and a warrant has been issued for a third. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said all three suspects had belonged to the same gang.
Police said the death could be attributed to two gangs fighting and retaliating against one another for months.
The arrest came as thousands protested in the city over the 2014 killing of a black teenager by a white policeman.
Tyshawn Lee was killed when members of a rival gang lured him away from a park near his grandmother's home and shot him, investigators said.
The man charged is Corey Morgan, a Chicago native, police said.
Mr McCarthy described the shooting as the "most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime" he had ever seen.
"They're going to be obliterated," he told reporters. "That gang just signed its own death warrant."
Speaking at the boy's funeral, Reverend Michael Pfleger, a local priest and activist, told mourners the killing marked "a new low for Chicago".
Chicago saw 406 murders last year, down from the previous year's total but still higher than other US cities with larger populations, such as New York and Los Angeles.
However, there were also more than 2,500 shootings in the city, up almost 15% on the previous year.
Separately on Friday, about 2,000 protesters marched in cold wet weather down one of Chicago's busiest shopping streets to protest over the October 2014 death of Laquan McDonald.
The planned demonstration - which coincided with the busy "Black Friday" shopping day in the US - followed the release of video footage showing police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting the teenager 16 times.
Mr Van Dyke, 37, was charged with first-degree murder on Tuesday.
The woman, who was driving a Citroen C4, was pronounced dead at the scene on the anti-clockwise carriageway in Kent between junctions three and four.
Five other people were to taken to hospital for treatment but their injuries were not life-threatening.
Police said the accident, at 18:05 BST on Friday near the Orpington slip road, also involved a BMW, a Vauxhall Insignia and a Smart Car.
The road was closed for nearly eight hours, causing long traffic tailbacks.
Accident investigation officers are appealing to anyone with information about the crash to come forward, particularly anyone who saw any of vehicles immediately beforehand.
McCarthy earned $33m (£25m) before tax between June 2015 and June 2016, making her the world's second highest paid actress, behind Jennifer Lawrence.
Johansson, who was placed second last year, dropped to third, earning $25m (£19m) across the year.
It tops off a busy year for McCarthy, which saw her appear in the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, as well as The Boss, which topped the US box office.
Johansson has appeared in Captain America: Civil War, the remake of The Jungle Book and the Coen brothers' film Hail Ceasar! over the last year.
Forbes reported Lawrence earned $46m (£34.9m) before tax over 12 months to make her the world's highest-paid actress for the second year running.
She appeared in the last film in The Hunger Games franchise and the Oscar-nominated Joy during that time.
Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston's earnings of $21m (£15.9m) scored her fourth place while Chinese actress Fan Bingbing was fifth with her annual takings of $17m (£12.9m).
The only new addition to this year's list was Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who earned $10m (£7.6m) to take 10th place.
According to Forbes, Padukone earns considerably less than her Hollywood counterparts for her on-screen roles, but supplements her income with multiple lucrative endorsements.
Charlize Theron, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts and Mila Kunis completed the top 10.
A separate list of highest-paid male actors will be published on Thursday.

The home side were already in trouble whens they resumed on 11-2.
But 37-year-old Sidebottom (6-34) and Jack Brooks (3-10) caused havoc as the hosts were bowled out for 69, losing five wickets at one stage for no runs.
After a brief rain break, Yorkshire reached 125-1 by the close of play with opener Will Rhodes 53 not out.
Just nine balls were possible in the morning session before Warwickshire - batting record breakers last week - were shattered by losing five wickets in 29 balls as they slid from 29-2 to 35-8.
It was high-class fast bowling from the Yorkshire pair, although they did get some help, with Ian Westwood offering no shot to a Sidebottom delivery which hit off-stump, just as Chopra had done the previous evening.
When Sidebottom bowled Laurie Evans then removed youngsters Peter McKay and Sam Hain, he had the first six wickets but his aspirations to an 'all-10' ended when Brooks forced Jonathan Trott to edge into the slips.
Brooks added the scalps of Jeetan Patel and Boyd Rankin to bring last pair Rikki Clarke and Oliver Hannon-Dalby together at 37-9, with 27 needed to reach the follow on figure.
The last pair then added 32, Clarke hoisting Brooks for six before cutting Tim Bresnan for four to take the score past the follow-on point before being bowled by Steve Patterson for 28 from 42 balls.
Yorkshire then made batting look a little more comfortable proposition again as they reached the close with a 269-run lead, thanks to Rhodes, well supported by Alex Lees (28) and Jack Leaning (28 not out).
Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown:
"Credit to Yorkshire. Ryan Sidebottom was outstanding and they bowled exceptionally well, albeit in very helpful conditions, and caught very well.
"We were undone by good bowling but our batting was weak. Too many of the guys were trapped in the crease and it was only our last pair that really started getting properly forward or back.
"The game's not dead yet but to save it we will have to fight like we have never done before and play a lot better than we have done in the last two days."
Yorkshire bowler Ryan Sidebottom:
"Before play Dizzy (coach Jason Gillespie) asked me to say a few words to the lads and I said we had to bowl full and straight so I had to go out and do what I had told them to do.
"Jack Brooks bowled really well and we complement each other well. Sometimes one guy bowls at two an over and the other guy gets the wicket,s but it doesn't matter which way round it happens, it's all about being effective as a unit.
"We didn't bat very well so to come out and bowl them out for 69 was very pleasing."
The 23-year-old has played 49 times for Rovers, helping them win promotions from non-league to League One.
He spent part of last season on loan at Newport, but has not appeared for Darrell Clarke's side so far this term despite signing a new deal this summer.
The Gibraltar international is his country's leading scorer, with two goals from 11 appearances.

Daniel Brown, 27, said he "lost control" on 11 July last year and set fire to Capel Aberfan, which was used as a makeshift mortuary following the Aberfan disaster.
He caused more than £500,000 damage to the chapel, which was built in 1876.
Brown, from Nixonville, said he "got a kick" from arson, Merthyr Tyfil Crown Court heard.
He will stay on licence for 10 years.
The court was told Brown set fire to his own home when he was nine years old.
A £40,000 Aberfan disaster memorial organ which was destroyed in the chapel fire had been donated by Queen Elizabeth II.
It was given when she visited the community after a slag heap collapsed on the Pant Glas Junior School leaving 116 children and 28 adults dead.
Prosecuting, Rachel Knight said Brown had set fire to a wheelie bin earlier that evening and called 999 himself, but was "disappointed" when neighbours put out the fire before crews arrived.
"Less than two hours later fire officers were called back to tackle the chapel blaze," she said.
"The chapel was locked but they were approached by Brown, claiming to be the caretaker."
Brown had a set of keys for the chapel because he was a voluntary cleaner - and he had sneaked in to set fire to a dust sheet before walking home.
Miss Knight said: "The fire was completely out of control. The roof became well alight and quickly collapsed."
A pulpit worth £15,000 was also lost, which was due to be sold to an American buyer to raise funds for the building.
Brown told police: "I don't know why I did it. It just got out of control. I love that church. I set fire to my house in Aberdare when I was nine. I need help."
Ms Knight added: "He told the police he was a Christian and attended weekly prayer meetings."
Iris Minett, 80, whose two children died in the Aberfan disaster welcomed the jail sentence.
"We have been through so much here that it is beyond belief that someone could have done this," she said.
"The chapel meant a lot to many people but now it will never be the same."
Her daughter Gaynor Madgwick said: "No amount of time in prison will make up for the emotional damage caused by what he did to the chapel.
"Nothing can bring back the pews where those children were laid to rest.
"It is now a scar on the village and is standing like a monstrosity."
Judge Richard Twomlow said: "It was a building that was priceless to the community and there was understandable outrage and grief.
"An important part of the history of Aberfan has been irretrievably lost."
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said that the state's supply of pentobarbital would end in September.
Texas has the highest execution rate in the country, with 11 inmates put to death so far in 2013.
Some drugs companies have objected to their products being used for capital punishment.
Texas has used pentobarbital, a drug used to treat severe epilepsy, in executions since July 2012.
The state was forced to change to the single-dose sedative when supplies of sodium thiopental, one of three drugs used previously, were cut off.
But state officials are now having difficulties with the availability of pentobarbital, which is also typically used to put down animals.
"We will be unable to use our current supply of pentobarbital after it expires,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted department spokesman Jason Clark as saying. "We are exploring all options at this time."
The state is planning at least five more executions this year.
Reuters quoted Mr Clark as saying that Texas was confident it would be able to continue with the deaths, despite the shortage.
Richard Dieter, who heads the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center, said other states would be having similar problems.
"The states really scramble to go all over to get drugs,'' he told AP.
"Some went overseas, some got from each other. But these manufacturers - a number them are based in Europe - don't want to participate in our executions. So they've clamped down as much as they can."
The first US prisoner put to death using pentobarbital is believed to be 58-year-old John David Duty.
Duty, who killed a cellmate in 2001, died in Oklahoma in December 2010.
Texas is reported to have executed more than 500 death row inmates since 1982 - the highest of any US state. Virginia came in second with 110, AP said.
Journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who works for pro-democracy group Open Russia, became ill earlier this month.
He has now recovered enough to leave the country to seek further treatment, his lawyer Vadim Prokhorov said on Facebook on Sunday.
The activist nearly died when he suffered sudden kidney failure in 2015.
Mr Kara-Murza, a friend of opposition leader and former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead in February 2015, fell into a coma for a week, with tests revealing he had ingested a poisonous substance.
It is unclear what prompted the latest collapse.
However, Mr Prokhorov said he was leaving Russia on Sunday "to go through rehabilitation treatment after his second acute poisoning".
He added: "The diagnosis in his hospital discharge report is still the same: 'toxic influence of an unknown substance'."
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare or the ACA, is the largest overhaul of the US healthcare system since the 1960s. What does it do, and why is it controversial?
Its aim is simple - to extend health insurance coverage to some of the estimated 15% of the US population who lack it. Those people receive no coverage from their employers and are not covered by US health programmes for the poor and elderly.
To achieve this, the law requires all Americans to have health insurance, but offers subsidies to make coverage more affordable and aims to reduce the cost of insurance by bringing younger, healthier people into the medical coverage system.
It also requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to offer health insurance.
The law creates state-run marketplaces - with websites akin to online travel and shopping sites - where individuals can compare prices as they shop for coverage. Some states have chosen not to participate in the ACA, and their residents can shop on a marketplace run by the federal government.
In addition, the law bans insurance companies from denying health coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions, allows young people to remain on their parents' plans until age 26, and expands eligibility for the government-run Medicaid health programme for the poor.
The law aims eventually to slow the growth of US healthcare spending, which is the highest in the world.
Republicans say the law imposes too many costs on business, with many describing it as a "job killer". However, since the implementation of Obamacare, jobs in the health care sector rose by 9%.
They have also decried it as an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals.
The party and a veritable industry of conservative think tanks and advocacy groups have fought the law since Mr Obama first proposed it in 2009 at the start of his first term in office.
After the law was passed in 2010, Republicans launched several legal challenges. In 2012 the US Supreme Court declared it constitutional. It also featured in another Supreme Court case in 2016, when employers argued both against the provision that says companies have to provide birth control and the work-around that allowed the federal government to provide birth control to employees who worked at companies who did not want to provide birth control. The court did not issue a ruling, instead ordering both sides to try to find a compromise.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives, controlled by the Republicans, has taken dozens of symbolic votes to repeal the law and forced a partial government shutdown over the issue. Republicans in state capitals have also sought to undermine it in various ways.
Democrats say Republicans have been politically motivated to attack Mr Obama's flagship domestic achievement in order to weaken him.
It's estimated that 22 million would lose medical insurance if Obamacare were repealed. Provisions of the law make care accessible to those who had previously been shut out. The uninsured rate has dropped by 5% since the programme began.
Some of the more popular provisions include:
As the law has been implemented there have been certain sections that work better than others, and some that cause problems for consumers. The Obama administration and Democratic members of Congress have tried to push through fixes that they say would alleviate these problems; the Republicans say the flaws are evidence of a failed programme.
Some of the bigger problems include:
Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi is suspected of war crimes over the destruction of nine mausoleums and a mosque in the ancient Malian city in 2012.
He was handed over by Niger after the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest.
Islamists occupied the city until they were ousted by French forces in 2013.
Wearing a navy-blue suit and wire-rimmed spectacles, Mr Faqi told the court: "My name is Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, I am from the al-Ansar Tuareg tribe."
He told the court he was born "about 40 years ago" in Agoune, 100km (60 miles) west of Timbuktu, and was a "graduate of the teachers' institute in Timbuktu and... a civil servant in education in the Malian government beginning 2011".
He said he wished to be spoken to in Arabic, but gave no other statement during the proceedings at which the charges were read out.
The judge said the next hearing would be on 18 January, where a decision would be taken whether to put the suspect on trial.

Saving Timbuktu's manuscripts
In pictures: Timbuktu's manuscripts
Why do we know Timbuktu
According to the prosecutor, Mr Faqi was a "zealous member" of Ansar Dine, a Tuareg extremist militia with links to al-Qaeda, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan who was in court.
He is alleged to have been head of the Hesbah - or what some call the "manners' brigade" - which enforced strict Islamist law in Timbuktu during the unrest that rocked Mali in 2012 and 2013, and of being involved with and executing the decisions of the so-called Islamic Court of Timbuktu.
During their occupation, the militants vandalised and destroyed mosques and mausoleums, and burnt tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts.
The city - which is listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco - was considered the centre of Islamic learning from the 13th to the 17th Centuries.
At one time it counted nearly 200 schools and universities that attracted thousands of students from across the Muslim world.
The mausoleums were shrines to Timbuktu's founding fathers, who had been venerated as saints by most of the city's inhabitants.
But this practice is considered blasphemous by fundamentalists.
Earlier this year, 14 mausoleums were rebuilt by local stone masons using traditional techniques.
The case against Mr Faqi is the first to be brought before the ICC "concerning the destruction of buildings dedicated to religion and historical monuments".
The court, which has until now always focused on attacks against people, hopes the charges against Mr Faqi will deter others who may seek to destroy these treasured pieces of history, our correspondent says.
Some 659,030 people submitted applications by the end of June - up 4% on the same point last year.
The final deadline for candidates applying through the University and College Admissions Service (Ucas) was 30 June.
After that, unfilled places are allocated through a post-results process known as clearing.
The latest Ucas statistics show a rise in applications in England, Wales and Scotland of 3%, 2% and 3% respectively. In Northern Ireland the numbers have remained static.
Applications from other EU students rose 5%, while those from non-EU overseas students were up 6%.
The figures also show that, in general, more women have applied than men.
Director of fair access to higher education Prof Les Ebdon said: "These figures are excellent news.
"Applicants are clearly recognising the advantages of higher education and are embarking on a potentially life-changing journey.
"At the same time, our economy and society will continue to benefit from a consistent supply of highly-qualified graduates."
Chief executive of university umbrella group Universities UK, Nicola Dandridge, said: "It is encouraging to see the numbers applying to university increasing again this year, demonstrating the widespread recognition of the importance of a university degree and the positive impact it has on people's lives and the economy.
"The opportunities afforded by higher education are not just there for young people, but also for people of any age.
"It is therefore particularly good to see an increase of nearly 9,000 more mature students compared to last year.
"We are a knowledge-based economy and rely increasingly on people to develop their skills throughout their lives."
Former skipper Atapattu, 44, was appointed in October 2014 after six months as interim coach where he led Sri Lanka to a series win over England.
No reason was given for the change.
But a statement said Atapattu had served his time "with the same professionalism that was his hallmark as an international cricketer".
Sri Lanka are set to tour England in the summer of 2016, playing a three-Test series against Sri Lanka followed by five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match.
Enda Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was in his first term at Queen's University when he died after being hit on Belfast's Malone Road in October 2014.
David Lee Stewart, of Gray's Park Avenue, drove with the teenager on the roof of his van for about 800 yards before he stopped.
The 31-year-old has admitted a series of charges linked to the collision.
Belfast Crown Court heard on Friday that Stewart said during a police interview he "would give up my own life for that wee lad".
"I am deeply sorry for it, deeply, deeply sorry," he told police.
"If I could turn back the clock I would."
Stewart is due to be sentenced for causing death by dangerous driving and four other motoring offences.
The court was told that Stewart's passenger, 21-year-old William Ross Casement, who he had been drinking with in the hours leading up to the collision, got out of the van when it hit Mr Dolan.
Witnesses saw him standing close to the student's body, which was on the road, before he returned to the van, which was then driven from the scene.
Prosecutors said he "must have been aware that at least very serious injury was caused".
Casement, from Belvoir Drive in Belfast, admits aiding and abetting dangerous driving, and aiding and abetting failing to remain at the scene of an accident where an injury had occurred.
A prosecution lawyer told the court that CCTV footage had shown both men were in a Belfast bar on Thursday 14 October.
Stewart took 13 drinks, including six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs, a mix of a spirit and an energy drink.
The men were later seen to "stagger on the road" before getting into the van.
It was driven to Donegall Square East, where the men went to a nightclub.
They left at 02:20 BST, and less than 10 minutes later Mr Dolan was dead.
Witnesses saw the van being driven dangerously, undertaking a taxi and speeding through a red traffic light.
Mr Dolan was walking to his student accommodation when the van mounted a footpath and hit him.
He sustained a broken neck and head injuries.
One witness said the van had taken off at speed and it crashed further up the road.
Casement was able to get out of the vehicle and Stewart had to be cut from the driver's seat.
The prosecution said Stewart was taken to hospital, where he twice refused to give a blood sample, claiming he had only drank two pints of shandy.
But a sample taken later that morning indicated he was three times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.
Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system.
The prosecution said Stewart was "highly intoxicated" at the time of the crash and had "made two decisions to drive in that condition".
He added that Mr Dolan, from Killyclougher in Omagh, was "talented" both academically and in sporting terms and was "generous with his time with his family and the wider community".
A defence lawyer for Stewart said the father-of-three was "so intoxicated that evening that he was uncertain as to the events that occurred".
Stewart revoked his own bail while on remand, and his wife Samantha told the court: "He couldn't go out, after what he had done.
"He had no life. He took somebody else's, he just couldn't get on with his own."
A barrister representing Casement said his client "reflected on a daily basis" about the incident.
He said Casement "deeply regrets becoming involved in the course of events that led to the death of Mr Dolan".
Both men were remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.
Top of the Championship, Karanka's side have four games left to play and have a two-point cushion over second-placed Burnley, who they face on Tuesday.
"I think we will have less pressure than Burnley because they need to win," Karanka told BBC Tees.
"It's tough for the players in these games when everyone is excited and expecting promotion."
He continued: "It's difficult to manage the situation but they are handling it really well. We know we are arriving in this game in a good position against Burnley, who were in the Premier League last season with the same players."
After a poor run of games which coincided with Karanka failing to take training and missing their 2-0 defeat by Charlton, Middlesbrough have improved their form with six consecutive victories putting them top of the league.
"It's impossible to know what will happen in two or three weeks. I have been here for two years and I have learned this league can change in just two days," Karanka added.
Middlesbrough's George Friend and Daniel Ayala were named in the Football Manager Team of the Season at Sunday's Football League Awards, but Karanka has heaped the praise on the unity of his squad and says many players contributed to Boro's success.
"I can't forget players like Tomas Kalas but he's on the bench because Daniel Ayala is playing really well," said the Spaniard. "It is the spirit of the team to play together."
The Briton, 29, will end the year at the top of the rankings if he wins the title at London's O2 Arena.
Murray faces Croatia's Cilic in his opening round-robin match at approximately 20:00 GMT.
"I just want to finish the year on a high note by playing well," the Scot told BBC Sport.
"If I finish number one, that's great, but that wasn't a goal of mine a few months ago. I wanted to put myself in a position to hopefully get there at the beginning part of next year."
Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka plays Kei Nishikori of Japan in Monday's first singles match at 14:00, live on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website.
Murray overtook Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings last week and is locked in a battle with the Serb to see which of them ends the year as world number one.
Djokovic opened with a three-set win over Dominic Thiem on Sunday, and knows that two group-stage wins followed by a record sixth ATP Finals title would see him reclaim top spot.
However, Murray can deny Djokovic if the Scot wins the season finale for the first time.
"He said that it wasn't a focus to be world number one this year," said BBC Sport commentator Andrew Castle.
"But with the Wimbledon title and Olympic gold behind him, he perhaps reset himself after the US Open and just said, 'It's available and I'm going to go for it.'
"He basically won every single match for the last six weeks."

By his own standards, Murray has a relatively mediocre 11-11 record in eight previous appearances at the ATP finale, but he arrives this year in as strong a position as ever.
He is on a 19-match winning streak, and took three days off following his Paris Masters win before practising on the newly speeded up O2 Arena last week.
"The court's definitely a bit faster than it has been in the past, so that changes the way you play the matches a little bit," said Murray.
"But I think that's a positive thing. At the end of the year, when the players have played a lot of tennis, to play on the slowest court with really, really long rallies is tough, so it will shorten the points a bit and maybe make for some better tennis."
Murray has enjoyed the best season of his career, but if he is to hold on to the number one spot he must come through the most difficult run of matches he has faced in terms of rankings.
The Briton will play world number three Wawrinka, number five Nishikori and number seven Cilic in the John McEnroe Group, with only two progressing to the semi-finals.
First up is Cilic, who beat Murray last time out in Cincinnati three months ago but has won just three of their 14 matches.
"He's been on an amazing run these last few weeks, he's going to be extremely motivated and he's going to have the crowd on his side," said Cilic.
"I just hope I'm going to continue with this good form I had the last few months."
The rules have applied to German cinemas showing adult films since 2002, but they are now being extended to cover books available on the internet.
It follows a complaint that a sexually explicit e-book titled Schlauchgeluste was too easy for children to obtain.
One book industry blogger said the decision, taken by the regulator Youth Protection Authority, was "just nuts".
The German Publishers and Booksellers Association confirmed that retailers were now considering ways to enforce the rules.
It has been suggested that they will have to start tracking the titles that count as "youth endangering" under German law, isolate them in a specific section and make them invisible using filtering software.
But Jessica Sanger, from the legal team at the German Publishers and Booksellers Association, said: "A time lock doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to us as kids can find ways to circumvent that.
"A system that requires proof of age is harder to circumvent and that is the way we see things going."
Booksellers face fines of 50,000 euros (£35,000) if they do not comply with the rules.
Digital media blogger Nate Hoffelder said it did not make sense to apply the legislation to e-books.
"Given the prevalence of adult content on websites outside of Germany, trying to control access on sites in Germany is just nuts," he wrote on his Inks, Bits and Pixels blog.
"Even King Canute knew that he could not hold back the tide, but apparently German regulators lack that level of common sense."
The decision to change the rules was sparked by a transgender memoir called Schlauchgeluste (Pantyhose Cravings), which became the subject of legal action over its easy availability in a bookseller's database.
Tunnelling is set to start for a line from Turin to Lyon, which is expected to cut the travel time by nearly half.
Local residents built barricades to prevent heavy machinery from starting work in the picturesque Val di Susa, in northern Italy.
Police used fire hoses and tear gas to disperse them.
Police had to escort the contractor's bulldozers to the high Alpine site where work is due to begin.
Demonstrators set on fire barricades erected to keep out intruders, but failed to halt the works.
Despite environmental objections, the Italian government is determined to go ahead with the project, which is heavily backed by EU money and is estimated to cost 15bn euros (£13bn).
Work is due to start by 30 June or the country risks losing the hundreds of million euros the EU is contributing, a minister said at the weekend.
Earlier, more than 3,000 people took part in a peaceful, overnight candle-lit prayer vigil against the project.
"The majority of residents of the valley are against this project which damages the environment and is an absurdity for public finances," said Paolo Ferrero, secretary of Italy's Communist Refoundation Party.
Residents fear that, despite safeguards built into the multi-billion euro project in a deal signed in 2001, an area of outstanding natural beauty is going to be spoilt.
Other protests have been announced on the internet, with a demonstration due in Rome on Tuesday, reports say.
The council was asked to consider cutting the length of summer holidays from six weeks to five.
The other week would then be moved to another time in the school year.
The authority's children and young people scrutiny committee will now look into possible dates and consider the wider implications of the move.
The proposal - put forward by Gabalfa Liberal Democrat councillor Ed Bridges - highlighted what he called the "disproportionately expensive cost of holidays" during the traditional holiday break.
"Currently families taking holidays during school term time can do so more cheaply than during allocated school holiday times," said Mr Bridges.
"From my own experience the cost of going away for a week during October half term is basically double what you would spend on the same holiday in May during the school term time.
"Families are often having to make a very difficult decision of whether they go on holiday during school term time and pull their children out of school, or in some cases not go on holiday at all if finances don't allow it."
It was suggested extending the October half term to two weeks could help families save money by booking travel outside peak periods.
A Welsh Government spokesman said the education secretary Kirsty Williams would not be using ministerial powers to direct local authorities and governing bodies what their term dates must be.
He said the government was "pleased to see that they have successfully worked together to ensure harmonisation of term dates across geographical areas for 2017-18".
"Schools have a discretionary power to authorise up to 10 days' absence during a school year for family holidays during term time," he added.
Her book Animal Kingdom - A Colouring Book Adventure currently tops Amazon's best sellers list and she is part of an industry which saw almost one million books worth £6m sold so far this year.
But as she starts work on her third book, she looks back on her success with a mixture of pride and shock.
Ms Marotta, who grew up in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, before moving to Tenby, Pembrokeshire, described her new-found fame as "really amazing", adding: "I just wanted to make beautiful books and I'm really flattered that people enjoy them so much."
When she started, her aim was to create a book people would love colouring as much as she enjoyed creating the illustrations.
But the idea for the books originally came from her publishers. They spotted the adult colouring phenomenon as it gathered momentum in France, and believed Ms Marotta's intricate style of drawing would be ideal for hobbyists looking for new inspiration.
Since then a huge colouring "community" has grown up around the books.
Friends Natasha Trew-Burns, Val Hall, Malissa King and Sarah England, from Newport, met through one of the many colouring groups on Facebook.
They now meet regularly to share books, pens and colouring tips and agree one of the big attractions is the freedom it provides from the modern world's digital distractions.
Ms King said colouring brings instant gratification.
"You can sit down with a picture and have it finished by the end of the evening, but when you look at what other people have done with the same picture they're all completely different and I like that about it," she said.
But all four admitted it was all too easy to get addicted to the different types of pens and pencils available.
And with sets costing as much as £250, it can quickly become an expensive hobby.
Andre Breedt from Nielsen Book Services has been monitoring sales of adult colouring titles and believes they are here to stay.
He said they make popular gifts, and predicts they will be a Christmas hit.
He added the number of colouring books on the market was forecast to double over the next six months and so far demand shows no signs of waning.

Ciara Mageean easily qualified for the women's 800m final as she won her heat in 2:08.85.
Rio Olympics-qualified Mageean, 23, has set new Irish indoor 1500m and mile records in recent weeks but has indicated that she will opt out of competing at next month's World Indoor Championships.
Letterkenny man Mark English showed that he looks in good shape for a strong performance in Oregon as he clocked an impressive 1:48.15 in his 800m heat.
The UCD medical student was having a cut at the 1:46.50 world indoor qualifying standard, and, although he didn't reach that mark, he can still be selected.
""I didn't feel there was any reason not to," as he explained his fast pace from the gun.
"It's a perfect opportunity to try and get two races back-to-back.
"I think the most important thing is to analyse how you felt afterwards and I felt strong so that's good. I'm happy with how today went."
English's fellow Letterkenny man Brendan Boyce won his first Irish Indoor title as he clinched the men's 5K walk in 20:17.81.
"After 12 attempts at national indoors I finally came home with the gold," said Boyce happily afterwards.
The Donegal man will race in three weeks over 20km in Slovakia.
That quake killed more than 18,000 people, displaced tens of thousands and generated a tsunami which caused a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima power plant. This time, Japan escaped with only a few reports of minor injuries, and tsunami waves of over 1m.
So how common is it for aftershocks to be felt so many years later?
Martha Savage, a geophysics professor at Victoria University in Wellington who is currently in Japan, told the BBC that an aftershock is simply any smaller quake that follows a large earthquake in the same region.
It is "not particularly unusual to have aftershocks for years after large events", said Prof Savage.
While Tuesday's quake was "quite large for an aftershock", the quake it followed measured a massive 9.0 - one of the largest ever recorded - so it's "at least two magnitudes smaller".
In 2011, the fault line behind the Japan quake slipped a massive 50m in one go, as the Pacific Ocean Plate slid under the Continental Plate, on which Japan sits. The seabed rose 30m in some places, triggering the tsunami.
Since then, pressure has continued to build up across the plate, which was released on Tuesday in what's known as an inland earthquake, Aiming Lin, chair professor of the department of geophysics of Kyoto University, told the BBC.
Even though five years have passed, there is still sufficient seismic activity in the area to trigger a magnitude-7 earthquake once a year, according to the Japan Times.
But Tuesday was the first time since December 2012 that the JMA had issued a tsunami alert due to an aftershock from the 2011 quake, said the paper.
Being both late and large makes Tuesday's aftershock slightly unusual, Prof Savage said.
New Zealand, which had a large earthquake last week, is one. It has since had thousands of aftershocks, some with a magnitude of more than 6.
And Napa County in California has had more than 4,600 aftershocks since a large quake in August 2014.
The Messina earthquake in 1908 was a magnitude-7.5 quake that struck southern Italy and brought 13m-high tsunami waves.
But even a century later, Prof Savage said there were more seismic activities in the Messina Region than other surrounding regions. | Police searching for a man who went missing on a camping trip in Dumfries and Galloway have found a body.

A week before the first Test at Eden Park, the Lions beat the Maori All Blacks 32-10 in Rotorua.
But ex-Wales and Lions wing Williams says the tourists wasted opportunities.
"It frustrates us all, because you've got the likes of Ben Te'o getting over the gain line for fun at the moment, but players aren't getting on his shoulder," said Williams, 40.
"I don't think the Lions are playing that expansively, it's a bit disjointed the way they're attacking and that's why players like wings Anthony Watson and George North aren't playing big parts.
"We've got potent attackers in the team but at the moment we're just not using them.
"You'd like to think that's going to come, but it will be frustrating because line breaks are being made but the tries aren't being scored.
"Three points here and there against the All Blacks isn't going to win, you have to score tries."
However, former wing Williams, Wales' record try score with 58 from 87 appearances, said the comfortable win over the Maori was a welcome result for Warren Gatland's squad, with just Tuesday's game against the Chiefs to come before the three-Test series begins.
"The lads played well in patches and job done really," added Williams, who played in 2005 the last time the Lions toured New Zealand, as well as in 2009 and 2013.
"A few issues keep cropping up, the same problems: discipline and perhaps too many turnovers than you'd like to have, especially against the All Blacks.
"However, second half they tightened it up a little bit, came away with two tries - perhaps should have scored others - but a win's a win."
One aspect of the Lions' play that particularly pleased Williams was the dominance shown by the forwards.
"I remember speaking to Gatland when they selected the squad and he said he wanted a big front row that could try and dominate the All Blacks," Williams said.
"That certainly was the case in Rotorua, that's probably as close to the [Test] front row as you're going to get, perhaps hopefully getting Ken Owens in there at hooker with the likes of Tadhg Furlong and Mako Vunipola.
"They dominated up front in the scrum, the line-out was very effective and when players like Ken and Jack McGrath came on they kept the dominance.
"There are a lot of positives to take out of the game, the minuses they just have to work on a little bit... but they have a short space of time to do it."
The Board of Community Health Councils in Wales said it was not consulted over changes to the Paediatric Intensive Care retrieval service.
Some NHS staff have told BBC Wales that longer journey times could be harmful.
The Welsh NHS said it was offering "an even better and more robust service" for children in need of intensive care.
Under the new system taking effect on Tuesday, a unified team based in Bristol now looks after all transfers of children in mid and south Wales from a district hospital to a paediatric intensive care unit, as well as serving hospitals in south west England.
The NHS said all journey times will be within the three-hour standard, including trips between Bristol and hospitals in Aberystwyth and Haverfordwest.
It said the Bristol site was chosen because of "practical considerations of cost, clinical support and pragmatism".
Daniel Phillips, from the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee, said: "We are coming together as one team to offer an even better and more robust service for children who are in need of intensive care.
"All major hospitals in Wales have staff trained to stabilise critically ill children and care for the sick child until the team arrive."
Tony Rucinski, chief executive of the Board of Community Health Councils in Wales, said: "We are disappointed we weren't consulted.
"We feel this is potentially a change to patient service and we will monitor its impact.
"We will be watching very carefully to ensure there is no reduction in service to this vulnerable group of patients."
The Paediatric Intensive Care Society welcomed the new system as an improvement, saying the team would only deal with transfers rather than other hospital commitments.
The BBC has learned that despite having "direct oversight" of Network Rail, and pledging extra electrification in the election campaign, ministers were kept in the dark about the rail operator's plans.
Sources at the Department for Transport said a Network Rail minute revealing a decision would have to be taken soon after polling day was not sent to the government until 22 May.
The sources said neither ministers nor officials were informed.
It means Conservatives made a rail manifesto pledge to electrify rail routes in ignorance of Network Rail's plans.
However, Labour insisted the news showed ministers must have known rail electrification projects would be paused in June, and that they had misled voters.
The Conservatives pledged to electrify rail routes in their manifesto, only to put plans for electrifying two lines on hold shortly after polling day.
Minutes of a Network Rail board meeting from March show the board agreed to a plan that included making "decisions required jointly with the DfT re enhancement deferrals from June".
"Enhancement" is industry jargon for upgrade. "Enhancement deferral" refers to delaying upgrades.
It is understood rail executives had judged that taking any longer to pause struggling projects would incur extra costs.
The government has had "direct oversight" of Network Rail since September last year.
One senior rail executive has told me further delays are expected of major projects in the north of England.
Network Rail's plans there had become a "standing joke" the executive said.
Rail schemes were at the heart of George Osborne's election promise to create a "northern powerhouse".
Shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher said: "This revelation shows ministers must have known before the general election that vital rail electrification projects would be shelved.
"It is becoming increasingly apparent ministers deliberately decided to cynically mislead people during the general election campaign that key rail lines would be electrified in the Midlands and the North, knowing full well that they would then renege on these commitments after the election. "
Minutes from Network Rail board meetings as early as November reveal there were concerns about the "deliverability" and affordability of upgrades.
The vessel passed close to Triton Island in the Paracel Islands, a statement said.
China, one of the countries claiming the islands, responded by accusing the US of violating its laws.
China and several other nations have rival claims in the South China Sea, which is rich in resources.
The US says it does not take sides on such territorial disputes but wants to safeguard access to the important shipping route.
Q&A: The South China Sea dispute
Why is the US Navy practising for war with China?
The mission aimed at countering "excessive maritime claims of parties that claim the Paracel Islands", the Pentagon said.
"This operation challenged attempts by the three claimants - China, Taiwan and Vietnam - to restrict navigation rights and freedoms," around the islands, said spokesman Capt Jeff Davis.
According to the statement, the USS Curtis Wilbur destroyer sailed within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island. No Chinese vessels were in the area at the time, the Pentagon said.
But a Chinese foreign ministry accused the US of violating Chinese law "by entering Chinese territorial waters without prior permission".
The US admitted it had not notified any of the claimants prior to the mission but this was "consistent with our normal process and international law".
In a previous "freedom of navigation" operation, the US sailed a destroyer close to the disputed Spratly Islands last year, an incident that also sparked a protest from China.
The 20-year-old graduated from the Daggers' academy and made an appearance in League Two against Northampton in September 2014.
He left in August 2015 before spells at Chelmsford, Grays, and Brentwood.
Dagenham boss John Still said: "We will be loaning him back out to Aveley, but we will look to him as one for the future."
Bloomfield was just 17 when he came on as a substitute against Northampton and had played in a youth-team game earlier that day.
He has featured in several behind-closed-door friendlies for Dagenham this season after impressing for Aveley.
Still told the club's website: "The person who recommended him to the club was actually the person who told us about Dwight Gayle and we brought Dwight in the same way as Mason."
He is the second striker to join Dagenham this week, after they paid an undisclosed fee for Eastbourne Borough forward Elliott Romain.

A spokesperson for leftist Catalans behind the protests said today's model of mass tourism was impoverishing working-class people.
Leftist Basques plan to stage an anti-tourism march on 17 August in San Sebastian, during a major festival.
Semana Grande (Big Week) is a week-long celebration of Basque culture.
Regional officials say the protests are isolated - and insist that tourists are welcome. They deplore the acts of vandalism, and stress that tourism is a vital industry for Spain.
A record 75.6 million tourists visited Spain in 2016 - and Catalonia hosted 18 million of them, making it the most popular region.
There has been some anti-tourist vandalism in Barcelona and Majorca - both Catalan-speaking - and most recently in San Sebastian, a tourist magnet in the Basque Country.
In one dramatic incident, several masked assailants attacked a tourist bus in Barcelona, near the football stadium.
The slogan "tourism is killing neighbourhoods" was daubed on the bus and one of its tyres was punctured. None of the passengers were injured.
The attack was claimed by Arran Jovent, a leftist youth movement linked to Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP), an anti-capitalist party campaigning for Catalan independence.
CUP tweeted a photo of the vandalised bus, with the message: "We show support for the youth organisation @Arran_jovent, we must combat the murder of barrios [neighbourhoods] with all means."
End of Twitter post by @CUPBarcelona
On its Facebook site, Arran has posted anti-tourism videos. One shows activists in Majorca holding a big banner next to yachts in a marina, letting off smoke bombs and throwing confetti inside a restaurant where customers are eating.
Elsewhere, the tyres of some tourists' rental bikes have been slashed.
Arran says it opposes a model of mass tourism that "wants us as slaves" and that "turns the country into an amusement park that only benefits the bourgeoisie and capital!"
The anti-tourism campaign has also sparked a heated debate on Twitter, under the hashtag #touristgohome.
An Arran spokesperson told the BBC that "we are anti-capitalist, we want to destroy the system - and the tourist industry is part of that system".
"Today's model of tourism expels people from their neighbourhoods and harms the environment - we've seen that all along the coast, with buildings everywhere.
He said Arran's protests were "not vandalism, but self-defence".
"Having to sign poor work contracts - that's violence - as is having to leave your neighbourhood and your support networks, because of tourism."
In the Basque Country, Ernai is a leftist youth movement acting in solidarity with Arran. Ernai emerged in 2013 from Basque nationalist groups who have campaigned for years on behalf of Eta prisoners.
Eta is disarming, after decades spent fighting the Spanish state, but Madrid refuses to negotiate with what it calls a "terrorist" group.
The Arran spokesperson said his group and Ernai were both "revolutionary movements" acting against "an oppressor Spanish state".
Arran has about 500 activists throughout Catalonia, and its campaign is attracting new members, he said.
In both regions the anti-tourism campaign is certainly coloured by nationalism.
There is resentment over tourism pushing up prices - especially apartment rents - for locals. But it is also about asserting national identity and fighting globalisation.
Catalans and Basques have a long history of struggle against Spanish political domination, going back to the Franco dictatorship and civil war.
A tweet from Katu Arkonada in San Sebastian showed the slogan "tourist go home" daubed on a restaurant.
End of Twitter post by @KatuArkonada
Basque tourism has grown since Eta violence subsided. San Sebastian is now a gastronomic capital, with a winning combination of beaches, Basque cuisine and local colour.
Neighbouring Catalonia is in the tense run-up to a controversial referendum on independence in October.
The region's ruling coalition has vowed to declare independence immediately if a majority of voters back it. Opinion polls suggest a narrow majority wants to remain part of Spain.

Tourism is the number one problem for Barcelona residents, according to an opinion poll published by the municipality in June.
Despite Spain's stubbornly high unemployment, tourism was the top concern of residents (19%), ahead of unemployment (12.4%) and transport (7%). It is the first time tourism has come top in the regular poll.
Temporary mayor Gerardo Pisarello dismissed talk of "touristophobia". "I don't believe that Barcelona's residents reject tourism - rather they want it regulated," he said.
Loose regulation is blamed for the proliferation of cheap holiday accommodation in the city, such as Airbnb apartments.
Carol Olona, a BBC journalist from Barcelona, says the drive to cash in on tourism has pushed up prices in the city centre.
Many young Spaniards earn no more than €1,000 (£902; $1,176) a month, yet an ordinary apartment in central Barcelona can cost €800 or more in monthly rent.
Spain's El Periodico newspaper reports that many apartment rents in central Barcelona rose more than 10% in 2014-2016.
Ms Olona says many residents "have been struggling to find affordable rents, and moving to small places on the outskirts".
"But Barcelona doesn't have much space to grow - there is sea on one side, mountains on the other and the city is surrounded by urban areas."
In summer the daily influx of tourists from cruise ships has also fuelled resentment, she said.
Yes, some. But it is tempered by exhortations to keep welcoming tourists, because of their economic value.
Arran wants a freeze on new hotel construction, more regulation of tourism and a model that "really respects the dignity of working people".
In Majorca, Balearics Deputy Prime Minister Biel Barceló said he shared the concerns about today's mass tourism and the "unbalanced" model. But he condemned Arran's methods.
A leading Basque tourism official, Denis Itxaso, said "concentrations of tourists" were inevitable in some places, but stressed that tourism was a vital source of income.
"Mind you don't play around with the hen that lays the golden eggs," he warned.
Ernai then mocked him in a tweet, showing him as a hen, with the message "Your golden eggs are the misery of young people!"

There had been concern that their savings might be at risk, should one of the pension schemes collapse.
Master trust pensions will now need to meet higher standards of governance, while there will be new powers for the regulator.
The bill will also enable a cap to be put on exit fees from pension pots.
"We want to make sure that people saving into master trusts enjoy the same protection as everyone else, which is why we are levelling-up that protection, to give these savers more confidence in their pension schemes," said pensions minister Richard Harrington.
Master trust pensions are typically used by smaller employers, and include the government-backed NEST scheme, as well as Now: Pensions.
In February this year the BBC reported that up to a quarter of a million people who pay into master trust schemes might not have their savings protected.
It also aired concerns about the qualifications of people who are allowed to set up master trust pensions.
When the bill becomes law, operators of master trust schemes will have to show:
The chief executive of The Pensions Regulator (TPR), Lesley Titcomb, welcomed the publication of the bill.
"We are very pleased that the Pension Scheme Bill will drive up standards and give us tough new supervisory powers to authorise and de-authorise master trusts according to strict criteria, ensuring members are better protected and ultimately receive the benefits they expect."
However, the chief executive of one of the biggest master trust schemes, Now: Pensions, said he was disappointed that the master trust assurance framework - a kitemark for such schemes - would not be made compulsory.
"The voluntary assurance framework was introduced as a quality standard to enable trustees of master trusts to demonstrate high standards of scheme governance and administration," said Morten Nilsson.
"Making it compulsory and building on this existing framework seemed logical."
The bill will also enable regulators to introduce a cap on exit fees from pension pots, which in some cases had been as high as 10%.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) wants there to be no exit charges on private pensions from March next year. The government wants occupational pensions to have a similar cap.
The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) welcomed the bill, but said it would require detailed scrutiny to ensure it works as intended.
Pensioner Genevieve has just ordered the plat du jour as I walk into the beautiful Veloc cafe in Perigueux and, as this is her birthday lunch, she's telling the cafe owner with a flirtatious wink, she's already got her eye on one of his bottled prunes afterwards as a "special little treat for a special little old lady". She turns her infectious smile to me.
"Ooh!" she says when I tell her who I am. "How lovely, a lady from Brexit Britain. I think Brexit's great. I'd like France to get out of Europe so she could find her own identity again."
All the way down the Dordogne valley, Britain's influence is hard to ignore. The region is home to so many British expats that it's often dubbed Dordogne-shire.
They may not have got the French eating Marmite quite yet but they certainly have got the locals chewing over the results of last June's referendum and wondering what a Frexit might taste like.
Cafe owner Christophe Constantin shakes his head firmly when I ask whether he sees France's future outside Europe.
Since opening his cafe six months ago he explains, 27 different nationalities have walked through his door. And he feels thoroughly European, he adds.
His neighbour Thomas listens in as he sips coffee at the bar. "I think there's a strong current pushing for France to leave the EU actually," he says.
"I think there's a strong possibility that we'll be out - perhaps not in these elections but maybe after the next. The EU needs to reform to avoid this total divorce."
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has made renegotiating France's membership of the EU one of her key campaign promises. She has vowed to pull France out of the euro and to hold a referendum on a new deal.
Since France has a constitution that states that the "Republic is part of the European Union" however, any Frexit would require a constitutional change.
The two uniformed men on the street opposite the cafe laugh when I suggest that it is unlikely that the Front National would be able to get such a constitutional change approved.
"Don't worry, we'll watch how Britain does it first," says one.
Back inside the cafe, Genevieve's charm has won over Christophe and she's contentedly tucking into her freebie birthday prune. She beckons me over.
"I'm voting Le Pen," she says. "Because she wants to close the borders, just like Trump is doing in America."
She licks the last of the syrup from her spoon. "Let's make France great again!"
Three hundred kilometres (186 miles) further south and in his office in Pau's town hall, centrist Mayor Francois Bayrou looks out on to the imposing snowy peaks of the Pyrenees.
For years, he's been trying to tell the French that they have been imprisoned by a two-party system - between a Left and a Right that will never concede there might be a third way.
"But that has to change now," says Mr Bayrou who has stood as a centrist candidate in the last three presidential elections.
"We need to unite people and we need to reform. The Socialist Party is decomposing and the Republican right is in civil war."
This year it won't be Mr Bayrou who is representing the centrists. It is the younger, staunchly pro-European Emmanuel Macron with his brand new movement En Marche.
Emmanuel Macron borrows creeds from left and right and his centrist approach has already won him more than 100,000 supporters nationally but it has left others suspicious and confused.
"What does he really stand for?" asks a woman on her way to work. "I'm not sure I trust him."
"I will probably vote Macron, but with no enthusiasm or conviction," says a retired man strolling through the park. "But maybe we should try something a little bit different."
My next stop is Mirail, a poor and largely immigrant suburb of Toulouse. In this "sensitive neighbourhood," as the French call it, they need a political solution that is radically different. The police won't even come here let alone the politicians.
"If you want to talk about Islam or about terrorism, I'm off," warns a young man in a grey hoodie at Kada's burger stall.
"We need to talk about jobs - that's what we need to talk about - work is the problem here, not Islam."
His friend shouts over him. "Politicians know damn well what we need. They've known for years.
"Why would I vote when no-one represents my neighbourhood or me?"
Kada, who runs the burger stall, nods at the groups of men clustering round him.
"If you come from a sink estate like this, believe me you're stigmatised. But give us jobs and watch what we can do."
Kada believes it's his civic duty to vote but he understands why so many of his customers won't be voting.
"Look at this social collapse, this poverty. People don't want us to feel as French as everyone else. I want a president who can lift us up from all this."
In his telephone repair shop, Klams sorts through tiny screws on his workshop counter as he hums along to his latest rap song about divisive politics.
Although he has left-wing sympathies, he has never voted because, as he says, even the Socialists seem to want to clamp down on Muslims - always banging on about Muslim women wearing headscarves.
He searches my face for traces of irony when I suggest that perhaps he needs to vote so his voice will be heard.
"In 20 years, nothing's changed in this neighbourhood," he says. "Politicians just forget us the minute the elections are over."
He picks up a screwdriver. "That's why I vote God."

HMRC's tax fraud investigation emerged just two days after Newcastle confirmed promotion back to the Premier League.
Managing director Lee Charnley was arrested, but released without charge as part of the raids.
"We are trying to concentrate on football," Benitez told BBC Newcastle.
"It's a pity that all the issues about the investigation, about something that happened four or five years ago, but we can concentrate on our usual football business.
"The first day after the day off we were trying to concentrate on football and that's what we have done. We were training, normal things, set-pieces and tactical adjustments.
"I was even talking to Lee today about pre-season which will start on 3 July. We have no control of the other things. We are trying to do what we have to do."
Meanwhile, former Newcastle winger Sylvain Marveaux was one of four people arrested in a tax fraud investigation by HMRC.
Speculation surrounding Benitez's future at Newcastle has been an ongoing concern to the supporters.
Benitez confirmed he would remain at Newcastle in the bid to win promotion earlier this season, after a frustrating January transfer window.
Now the impetus for Benitez and Newcastle is to come to an agreement surrounding an extended deal for the Premier League campaign ahead.
"At the moment I am trying to concentrate as much as I can. I have been in contact with Mike he called me to congratulate the team and the staff," the Spaniard, 57, said.
"We have been talking about a conversation, a meeting in a few days or weeks, what is going on, what happens in the future and the money that will be available.
"I'm quite positive about that conversation with him, but it is too soon right now. We're thinking about [Friday's opponents] Cardiff."
The claim comes as London Fire Brigade said there had been a "number of fatalities" at the tower block.
Grenfell Tower in north Kensington was completed in 1974 in the brutalist style of the era, comprising 120 flats over 24 storeys.
It received a £10m refurbishment in 2015-16 with the work being carried out by Rydon Construction as part of a £67m borough wide regeneration project.
The firm said it was "shocked to hear of the devastating fire", adding the work "met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards".
The tower is managed by Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The regeneration of the tower block included extensive remodelling of the bottom four floors, creating nine additional homes.
Improvements were also made to communal facilities for the residents and improved spaces for two local businesses.
The exterior was modernised with rain screen cladding, believed to have included thermal insulation, and replacement windows, while curtain wall facades, a new heating system and smoke extract and ventilation system were also installed.
127 flats
24 storeys
20 residential levels
4 mixed levels of community areas and residential flats
2016 refurbishment completed
The residents of Grenfell Tower had raised fire safety concerns four years prior to the tower block fire.
In February 2013, Grenfell Action Group warned fire safety equipment had not been tested for 12 months.
The group published an extract from a 2012 fire risk assessment which found that fire extinguishers in the basement boiler room, lift motor room and ground floor electrical room were more than 12 months out of test date.
Others located in roof level areas had "condemned" written on them in large black writing and had not been tested since 2009.
The tower block was given a medium fire risk rating - defined as a normal fire risk - in 2016 by the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council following the refurbishment.
But residents warned the tower block remained a fire risk. In a further blog posting in November 2016, the action group stated it believed "only a catastrophic event" would bring an end to the dangerous living conditions at the tower block.
The group association further alleged residents were given scant information about what to do in the event of a fire.
They claimed "a temporary notice stuck in the lift and one announcement in a recent regeneration newsletter" informed them they should remain in their flats in the event of fire.
"There are not and never have been any instructions posted in the Grenfell Tower notice board or on individual floor as to how residents should act in event of a fire," the blog posting added.
The leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Nick Paget-Brown, told BBC News: "It's truly horrifying - it's a terrible day in Kensington's history. It's an awful tragedy.
"When I arrived the flames were covering several storeys and it was moving very quickly, so there needs to be a thorough investigation into why this fire started and why it spread so quickly.
"There was a refurbishment [at Grenfell], we are refurbishing many of our 1960s and 1970s estates, the idea being to improve the heating and hot water systems, to install better windows, improve the insulation, make them more energy efficient, new cladding on the outside.
"We will clearly need to examine that and look and what was done and what standards were applied, and if they were followed and met.
"I think there are issues about towers and residential towers, and how they are refurbished and what measures are in place to evacuate the building. We will need to have a look at all of that."
PC Paul Sharp, from North Tyneside, was dismissed after receiving a suspended jail term by magistrates last month.
The 34-year-old admitted two counts of making indecent images of children and one of possessing extreme pornography.
In a statement, the force said it "completely condemned" PC Sharp's actions, which had been dealt with by its Professional Standards Department.
The statement added: "Both we and the public quite rightly expect the highest standards from our police officers and staff.
"When the behaviour of one of our officers falls below our high standards we investigate thoroughly and take appropriate action, which in this case led to Paul Sharp being dismissed from Northumbria Police."
Carolyn Woods, from Gloucestershire, lent Mark Acklom £850,000 during a year-long relationship in 2012.
He has since disappeared and in October was among 10 British fugitives named by the National Crime Agency as the most wanted in Spain.
Avon and Somerset Police said they were "doing everything we can" to find him.
Ms Woods, 55, met Mr Acklom, 43, when he walked into the shop where she worked in Tetbury.
She said when she first met him, he told her he was a Swiss banker but subsequently "confided" he worked for MI6, before she moved in with him in Bath.
She claims this gave him "carte blanche" to "appear at any time of the day or night or be absent for long periods without having to explain".
"I said to people, this is like something out of James Bond," she said.
"He managed to convince me that he was an MI6 agent and had to have brain surgery."
Ms Woods said on one occasion, in London, he told her he had been called to see his boss at MI6.
She said they were taken - by "his driver" - to a side street near the MI6 building.
"I believed he was going in through a back entrance to see his boss," Ms Woods said.
"I saw him walk into what looked like an underground car park, past two armed guards - two men wearing flak jackets and what looked like machine guns.
"So I was absolutely convinced he had gone into the MI6 building. I have been told since, they don't have armed guards at MI6. But how anybody got near the MI6 building, even with a toy gun, I don't know. And who those people were? I have no idea," she said.
After winning her trust, she said he demanded money from her and she lent him £850,000.
Carolyn Woods said Mark Acklom "vanished" at the end of 2012.
She said: "At that time, my life was descending into hell. I had no money left. I was living in a house I believed he owned but I was paying all the bills."
Ms Woods said she gave evidence to Avon and Somerset Police, in July 2015, that Mr Acklom was in custody in Spain, but by the time they had got a European arrest warrant a year later he had been released.
She said: "They seem to have very little communication with the Spanish police. I don't get the impression that anything is followed through or that they even try to find out."
Det Insp Adam Bunting said offences were reported to Avon and Somerset Police in 2013, and a European Arrest warrant was obtained in June 2016.
He added that although information was received in response to last year's appeal in identifying the 10 most wanted British fugitives in Spain, Mr Acklom had not been located.
The officer said: "We're continuing to work with the NCA and the Spanish authorities, in order to locate and arrest him as soon as possible.
"We're aware of some of the concerns the victim has relating to the early stages of the investigation, but I'd like to reassure her and the public that we're doing everything we can to find Acklom and bring him back to this country."
Sky News spoke to Mr Acklom last year about Ms Woods' claims and he described them as "nonsense".
Last month, she made the life-and-death decision to flee her village after militants delivered a chilling message: "We are coming back to take your son."
The insurgents killed her husband, a cattle trader, two years ago and were now insisting that the couple's two-and-a-half-year-old son Abdullahi belonged to them.
Ms Ashe knew she had to act - even if the penalty for trying to escape could be execution.
Under the cover of darkness, she and her two children and a younger sister walked through the bush for nine hours to safety.
But although Abdullahi survived the militants, he now faces another deadly threat - starvation.
He is among the estimated hundreds of thousands of children in north-eastern Nigeria currently suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
The UN describes it is as the "greatest crisis on the continent" and is appealing to the international community for more than $1bn (£793m) to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to almost seven million people in the region.
Abdullahi is skeletal. His body weight at 7kg (15lb) is around half of what it should be at his age.
"There was barely any food or clean drinking water in the village," said Ms Ashe, speaking at a Unicef malnutrition clinic set up in the region's main city, Maiduguri.
"Even if we did get some food the militants would take it away. Things are little better here. But I'm still struggling to feed my children."
Last month, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said thousands of children had already died of starvation during the crisis.
The seven-year-long Boko Haram insurgency has laid waste to this region - killing thousands and forcing millions to flee their homes in north-east Nigeria and the neighbouring countries of Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
But as the Nigerian military pushes the insurgents from territory they once controlled, the sheer scale of the hunger and devastation is being revealed.
Frequent Boko Haram attacks mean farmers have been unable to plant anything in their fields for the third year in a row and aid convoys are ambushed on insecure roads.
There are allegations of wide-spread aid theft, which are being investigated by Nigeria's senate.
The military has also closed down markets because of security concerns but it means people have nowhere to buy food or to make a living.
The UN says millions are now reliant on food aid and there is simply not enough to go around.
"Without more international assistance, many more people are going to die" says John Ging, operations director for the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"It starts with kids because their parents have no means to actually take care of them," he says.
"We can do better than that in 2016 - it's a rich world. We need a very small fraction of those riches for international humanitarian action. At the moment we're not getting that small fraction."
The city of Maiduguri is now the centre of the aid efforts. Its population is swollen by the hundreds of thousands of civilians who fled the violence and are now living in make-shift camps.
The worst cases of children suffering from starvation are brought to the MSF medical facility in the city.
In the intensive care unit, around a dozen severely emaciated children lay on beds.
They were hooked up to oxygen. Some had drips attached to their skulls as that was the only place the nurses could find a vein.
One of them is two-year-old Ali, who was born albino.
His mother Zara Mustafa said that her husband struggled to find work after they were forced from their home and they had no money to feed the family.
"Sometimes we don't eat for three days straight," she says.
In another bed lies one-month-old Mohammedu - his little body bloated my malnutrition. His mother, Aisha Umar has six other children.
"It's unbelievably difficult to get food here. I have to send my children out to beg," she says.
While the children are in a terrible state, they are at least getting some care.
There are still areas under the control of Boko Haram, which aid agencies cannot reach.
Conditions there will almost certainly be worse than those in Maiduguri.
And with the start of the dry season under way, yet more hunger is now on the horizon.

Footage showed Laxman Savadi apparently watching a clip on a phone and sharing it with his colleague, CC Patil, the minister for women and children.
Another minister, Krishna Palemar, the phone's reported owner, also quit.
The pair denied watching porn but said they quit to prevent embarrassment to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
There was public outrage after news channels ran the story on Tuesday evening, and opposition parties demanded the resignation of the ministers.
"I have resigned to prevent any embarrassment to the party. All three of us will prove our innocence," Mr Savadi said.
An inquiry has been ordered.
The footage of the ministers was captured by news channels positioned in the media galleries during a debate in the state assembly.
It shows Mr Savadi, the minister for co-operation, watching a clip on a mobile phone and then showing it to Mr Patil.
The clip appeared to show a woman dancing, undressing and then having sex.
"Why should I resign?" Mr Savadi asked on Tuesday. "The video I watched was of a woman being raped by four people. It was not porn."
He said he was watching the footage to "prepare for a discussion [in the assembly] on the ill-effects of a rave party" in the state recently.
Mr Patil told reporters: "We are not so uncivilised as to watch porn films."
Mr Palemar, the state minister for ports and environment, said his innocence would be proved by the inquiry.
Correspondents say the incident has come as a major embarrassment for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government.
The government has already been rocked by corruption scandals, leading to the resignation of former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa last year.
The soldiers have been identified as being among 1,500 Chadian troops serving with Minusma, which took over security duties in the country in July.
The UN says it wants Chad to investigate the incident and take disciplinary action against the men.
Residents told the BBC that several women were raped by the soldiers in the northern city of Gao last Thursday.
In January, French forces led an operation involving Malian and West African troops to oust Islamist militants from the north.
A 12,600-strong United Nations peace force is currently deploying to the West African nation, as France withdraws its troops.
The assault is believed to have happened last Thursday in Gao, which was in the area seized by militants following a coup in March 2012.
The woman is thought to have come forward seeking medical help from the UN immediately after the attack. This triggered the UN force to launch an investigation.
The BBC's Alex Duval Smith in Bamako says it is not known exactly how many Chadians were involved, but the victim identified four soldiers as having assaulted her.
At the time, 165 Chadian soldiers had just arrived in Gao, our correspondent adds.
They had defied the orders of their superiors and left their base in Tessalit, in the remote far north, after a dispute over pay and conditions.
Residents told the BBC they were scared by the presence of the Chadian soldiers, who were armed and arrived in Gao in 40 vehicles and stayed for several days without a place to sleep.
They allege that several women were raped by a group of Chadian soldiers in a room adjoining a bar in the city centre. Only one woman has come forward to report an assault.
A Minusma spokesman in Bamako said it was for the Chadian authorities to decide on what disciplinary action they should take against the men.
He said the victim would be offered medical, psychological and legal support but not financial compensation.
The Chadians are part of a force of 6,000 African troops serving under in Minusma peacekeeping force.

Allardyce left in disgrace after just 67 days after The Daily Telegraph said he advised undercover reporters posing as businessmen how to "get around" player transfer rules.
He said it was a "silly thing to do".
But when asked if it was his last job in management, the 61-year-old said: "Who knows? We'll wait and see."
"Unfortunately it was an error of judgement on my behalf," added the former Sunderland manager. "I've paid the consequences. Entrapment has won on this occasion and I have to accept that."
The Daily Telegraph defended its investigation.
"We began looking into corruption in English football last year after receiving information about specific managers, officials and agents - before Allardyce was appointed England manager," said a spokesperson for the newspaper.
"We have an obligation to investigate important stories that are clearly within the public interest and adhere to our industry codes of practice in doing so."
Earlier, Allardyce told Sky Sports he had only attended the meeting with the undercover reporters as a favour to friend and agent Scott McGarvey, who he says was hoping to land a job out of it.

The former Bolton, West Ham, Newcastle, Notts County and Blackburn boss was appointed England manager in July after Roy Hodgson left the role following the side's last-16 defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016.
The Football Association called his conduct "inappropriate" and said his contract was ended by mutual consent.
Speaking to reporters outside his home on Wednesday, Allardyce said: "The agreement was done very amicably with The FA and I apologise to those and all concerned in the unfortunate position I've put myself in."
Allardyce also wished "all the very best" to England Under-21s manager Gareth Southgate, who will take charge of the national side for the next four games, as well as the players and staff.
England's next match is a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Malta at Wembley on Saturday, 8 October. Malta lost 5-1 to Scotland earlier this month.

Allardyce was filmed telling undercover reporters it was "not a problem" to bypass rules on third-party player ownership and claimed he knew of agents who were "doing it all the time".
Third-party ownership - when someone other than the buying and selling club owns a stake in a player, typically an investor - has been banned by the FA and world football's governing body Fifa.
The practice has also been described as a form of "slavery" by Michel Platini, the former president of European football's governing body Uefa.
The Telegraph investigation also claimed that a £400,000 deal was struck for Allardyce to represent the Far East firm the reporters claimed to work for and to be a keynote speaker at events, though Allardyce stressed he would have to "run that by" his employers, the FA, first.
Allardyce also referred to his predecessor Roy Hodgson as "Woy", making fun of his manner of speaking, criticised Gary Neville, one of Hodgson's assistants, and made comments about FA president Prince William. He also described another member of the Royal family, Prince Harry, as a "naughty boy".
Further details of the Telegraph's wide-ranging investigation are published in Wednesday's edition of the paper, including a claim that eight past and present Premier League managers received illicit payments for transfers.
Five of the eight, who have not been named, have denied the allegations while three are yet to comment, the paper says.
Allardyce was just two months into a two-year deal as England boss with a salary understood to be worth £3m a year.
Despite only being in charge for one game, the Daily Mail reported that he had received a "seven-figure pay-off" from the FA.
However, former FA chief executive David Bernstein said he hoped this was not the case, telling BBC Radio 5 live: "The hubris of it all is extraordinary.
"This is a man earning £3m a year. I wonder whether there's a pay-off or not. I hope not, because I don't think 50 or 60 days' work merits a pay-off.
"There's no question he brought the FA and football into disrepute and that's not acceptable. I have very little sympathy."

"It's been a hugely disappointing couple of days for English football. It's very, very sad what's happened to Sam and it could happen to any of us. Sam innocently has paid the price. Privacy can only be found within the four walls of our own home." Steve McClaren
"I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm staggered at the misjudgement from a guy who said this was his dream job." Ex-England striker and BBC pundit Alan Shearer.
"I like Sam. I feel sorry. I know it was his dream job. I like him and respect him." Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
"I've got a little bit of sympathy for him, but he gave the FA no choice." Former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage.
"If you want to be the England manager you have to be whiter than white and the Telegraph investigation shows he wasn't. This guy is being paid around £3m a year, why was he grubbing around trying to find £400,000 from somewhere?" Former FA chairman Greg Dyke.
"I don't think fans will be annoyed that he is explaining how to get around rules, I think it is more that he was chasing money around the world when the focus should have been on the England job." Former England defender Danny Mills.
"We have been clear that we expect the highest standards of governance and transparency from sports governing bodies, here in the UK and on the international stage. In this context, the recent allegations regarding English football are very concerning and we will be discussing the matter with the football authorities." Sports Minister Tracey Crouch.
After just one match in charge - a 1-0 win over Slovakia in England's opening game of their World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign - Allardyce becomes the national side's shortest-serving full-time manager.
The FA said it would begin its search for a new England manager while Southgate takes charge for the Malta game as well as World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Scotland plus a friendly with Spain. Allardyce was due to name his next squad on Sunday.
Former England striker Michael Owen has backed Southgate to perform well as caretaker and secure the job permanently.
"If he wins all four games it will take a brave man to say 'let's change it now'," said Owen. "Possession is nine tenths of the law, isn't it?"
Bookmakers have named Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, Crystal Palace's Alan Pardew and former Hull manager Steve Bruce, as some of the other main candidates for the vacant position.
Another is the USA's German coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who on Wednesday distanced himself from the role.

Allardyce went abroad on Wednesday, visibly devastated he had engineered the downfall of his long-held dream to manage England after only 67 days.
Once the dust has settled on an episode that provides much personal humiliation for him, will one of English football's most durable managerial figures ever contemplate a return to the game?
He did not rule it out - and the smart money will be on several chairmen not ruling it out in the future either.
As the season progresses and teams drop into trouble, there will undoubtedly be a call for the sort of relegation-avoiding expertise Allardyce has shown throughout his career, not least at Sunderland last season.
It was his work with the Black Cats that smoothed his path to England - and it will not be forgotten when the spectre of strife and relegation rears its head for clubs as the season goes on.
Yes, Allardyce's credibility is currently broken but a manager who can prevent a club's relegation can save them millions. And there will always be a chairman out there who will believe Allardyce's baggage comes with a price worth paying.
The local authority has started the process of purchasing a derelict site on the High Street where it plans to have 21 flats constructed.
Thirteen homes for older people have also been proposed for a former NHS Highland building in the town.
The site of former Lochyside Primary School is also to be put to use for social housing.
There are more than 700 people on the waiting list for housing in Lochaber.
Mowatt, 21, came through the academy at Leeds and made 116 league appearances for the Whites, scoring 12 goals.
Mowatt is the second midfielder to join the Tykes in three days after Leicester City's Matty James joined on loan.
"This is a big signing for us and I'm really pleased to bring Alex into the group," Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom told the club website.

The hit baking show was snapped up by Channel 4 after the BBC lost the contract with the company who make the hit programme, Love Productions, last year.
Since then, the show's lost a couple of presenters and a judge so it's easy to lose track of what's been happening in the famous baking tent.
Newsround has everything you need to know so far about the new series.
Original Bake Off presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins stepped down from presenting duties after it was announced that the show was moving to Channel 4.
Taking over from them are Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.
Comedian and writer Sandi currently presents the quiz shows Fifteen to One and QI.
Noel is also a comedian, who has starred in several comedy shows. He played Ed Banger in the Horrid Henry movie.
Paul Hollywood remains as a judge on the hit show and he will be joined by food writer Prue Leith.
The 77-year-old had previously revealed she would "love" to take over from Mary Berry as a judge.
Mary stepped down after seven years checking that cakes didn't have soggy bottoms.
The new Great British Bake Off is to be 75 minutes long when it moves to Channel 4 later this year.
The extra 15 minutes will mean that fans will still get an hour of the show, not including adverts.
Comedian Jo Brand has also announced she will join the channel with her spin-off programme, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice.
Brand described herself "as a completely mediocre baker... but lover of all things spongy and tarty".
Channel 4 confirmed the next series of the Great British Bake Off would be broadcast later this year.
The last series launched in late August on BBC One, so it could be a similar start this time around too.
Doris Long said she felt no fear as she came down Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower.
The great-great-grandmother last performed the feat on her 100th birthday in May 2014.
The pensioner, who has previously abseiled alongside new Top Gear host Chris Evans, is raising money for the Rowans Hospice in Waterlooville.
Ms Long, who first abseiled aged 85, said: "I don't feel afraid and never have, I just have a placid nature."
Ms Long, who has a daughter, three grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren, received cheers and applause from the crowd as she reached the bottom of the tower.
"It was very hard work, much harder than last year," she said. "It was so windy I swung about a bit but oh yes, I enjoyed it, I feel it's well worth it.
"My legs ache like anything and my right arm where I hold the rope and my hair is all sticking out."
"Daring Doris", who has raised more than £11,000 for the hospice, said she hopes to repeat the challenge next year aged 102.
Jennie Watson, 42, from Locks Heath, who completed the abseil earlier in the day, said: "You have to be quite agile to get the ropes down but it's the bravery more than anything. How she does it, I have no idea."
Two chicks have been raised in the north-east of the country in the past two years, RSPB Scotland has said.
The birds typically spend their summers in northern Europe and migrate to France and Spain for winter.
They were once common in the UK but died out in the 16th Century.
Cranes are known for their graceful tall stature and loud mating calls.
The bird was a popular royal meal in the Middle Ages but the species disappeared mainly because of hunting and loss of habitat.
Since the 1970s a group of cranes have re-established a small population in Norfolk with 17 pairs breeding, but the two chicks born in Scotland are the first confirmed north of the border for hundreds of years.
A crane can grow to 1.3m (4.2ft) tall, with a wingspan of 2.4m (7.8ft). Their elegant breeding displays, which include dancing and ruffling feathers, are popular with bird spotters.
Cranes have been seen in the last few years at RSPB's Loch of Strathbeg nature reserve, near Fraserburgh, while travelling back to their breeding spots in northern Europe.
The bird charity is not disclosing the exact location of the nest site to minimise the risk of disruption.
The species favours large wetland areas such as lowland peat bogs and feeds on small insects, plants and grains.
Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said: "We are stunned and delighted to see that common cranes have bred successfully in Scotland.
"These charming, elegant birds have a strong place in our myths and history and are a delight to see, particularly during the breeding season with their dancing displays.
"They undertake regular migrations and small numbers have turned up on the east coast of Scotland in recent years, raising hopes of a re-colonisation. Last year a pair reared one chick, followed by a second chick in 2013."
He added: "We have been working with local farmers, landowners and the community to monitor these fantastic birds.
"Despite their size and flamboyant breeding displays, cranes are secretive birds and are very sensitive to disturbance, and we ask that they be given space and peace so they may establish a breeding population in Scotland."

Santa Cruz, 28, believes he can avenge Frampton's points victory from last July when the duo meet in Las Vegas.
However, Froch says Belfast's Frampton, 29, will again prove too strong.
"I expect a better Santa Cruz but I just think Frampton is just that little bit special," said Froch, 39.
Frampton's growing status in the sport after his outstanding 2016 was emphasised as he was officially handed the Ring Magazine boxer of the year honour in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Froch says the award was well deserved after a year in which Frampton also beat England's Scott Quigg in a world super-bantamweight unification contest.
"Every fight Frampton has, he gets better and better and learns a little bit more," added Froch.
"He tweaks his style slightly, improves his defence, his offence and his foot movement.
"He's got Barry McGuigan around him and Barry's son Shane in the corner and the whole set-up is getting things right."

Santa Cruz has vowed to up his game, with the Mexican's influential father and trainer Jose having played a full part in the build-up to Saturday's fight after battling cancer prior to the New York contest.
Froch believes the former three-weight world champion will attempt to utilise his height and reach advantage much more effectively than six months ago, but that Frampton will be ready to counter this.
"Carl is able to adapt and cope so well," he said. "He manages to get his feet in and just get out of way of the shots enough so that he is still in range to land his counter punches."
"When you have got somebody who is giving you head movement and timing shots well and being deceptive with his style and being quick with a high work-rate, it's difficult to use your reach.
"If you fall short with the jab and hit clean air, it's tiring and you get counter-punched. Santa Cruz might try and get behind his jab and box a bit more but I don't think he's going to have enough to beat Carl Frampton.
"It's going to be another barnstormer and a really, really tough fight, but I think Carl Frampton is in no real danger of losing."

Manuel, 20, became the first black female swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal, while Oleksiak, 16, won Canada's first gold of these Games.
Both women finished in 52.70 seconds, a new Olympic record.
Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom took bronze, with Australian sisters Bronte and Cate Campbell fourth and sixth respectively.
The last time two swimmers won joint golds in the Olympics was in 2000 when Americans Gary Hall and Anthony Ervin shared the men's 50m freestyle title.
Oleksiak, who has also won a silver medal in the 100m butterfly and two relay bronze medals in Rio, becomes the first competitor born after 1 January, 2000 to claim an Olympic gold medal in an individual event.
The Campbell sisters were expected to battle for the gold and at the halfway point world record holder Cate Campbell led with Bronte second.
However, the pair, who helped Australia win the 4x100m freestyle relay on Saturday, faded in the second half of the race to miss out on the medals entirely.
Manuel said: "My first gold medal, at my first Olympics, is kind of a surprise to me.
"I never thought I would be in this position but I'm so blessed and honoured to be on the medal stand. All my hard work has paid off and I am really happy about it.
"I will just remember all the memories I made. Team USA is awesome. We're a family and it's a great support system. Regardless of our achievements, we're all there for each other and we are friends."
Oleksiak said: "This is amazing, to tie for a gold. I never thought I'd win a gold. It means so much. She (Manuel) deserves it as much as me."
Rebecca Adlington, double Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer, on BBC One: "I'm so shocked by that race. I don't think it's sunk in.
"Cate Campbell broke the world record two months ago - how can you go from that to sixth? It just baffles me."

Farmers said the Welsh Government's new rules on the movement of livestock are too strict and too expensive.
From 10 June, farmers have to register a quarantine unit (QU) on their farm in order to move livestock on and off, and avoid six-day standstill rules.
The Welsh Government said the system was developed in partnership with the farming industry.
Currently, if farmers bring new stock on to their farm, the whole farm is subject to a six-day lockdown, where no animals can be moved off.
But there are exemptions for seasonal events like agricultural shows.
A field or a shed separated from other livestock, known as an approved isolation unit, can be used to avoid the rules.
But these isolation units cannot be used after 10 June and farmers must apply and pay for the new quarantine units.
There are 61 rules as part of the new system, which include installing double gates and double fences, as well as wearing specialised clothing.
The fee is £172.80 for one QU and £244.80 for two.
Farmer Gwilym Jones, from Blaenau Ffestiniog, said: "It makes no sense to show, it's not worth it. The rules are going backwards instead of forwards."
And Geraint Jones, from Ystrad Meurig, said: "I will break the law, and if they want to put me in jail, they can - I've got nothing to lose.
"If they want to kill the countryside, they're doing the right thing."
Sian Davies, who shows her texel sheep around the country, said the new changes "cost money, they're a nuisance and they increase paperwork".
She said the Welsh Government "don't know what's going on. I called the office in Aberystwyth and they didn't know what I was referring to".
Geraint Jones said he had a similar experience with the offices in Cardiff and Carmarthen.
The Welsh Government has not confirmed there are delays in the registration process.
Brian Walters, vice-president of Farmers Union of Wales, said: "This is disastrous for smaller agricultural shows.
"We don't feel there is enough evidence to indicate that diseases are passed between livestock at agricultural shows to justify such draconian measures."
In England the changes to the rules have been delayed until the autumn, avoiding the show season.
In a statement, the Welsh Government said: "The new QU system was designed to simplify the standstill regime and provide extra flexibility whilst maintaining disease movement curbs.
"It was developed in partnership with the farming industry.
"Although QUs can be used to manage movements to and from shows it is important to note they are intended to be used for all types of animal movement, not just for shows.
"The alternative arrangements to the six-day standstill were developed at the request of the industry (through the Working Smarter review) and in close collaboration with the industry through the LIDAG (Livestock Identification Advisory Group) over the past few years - not rushed, worked through systematically, and collaboratively, with the support of Independent Veterinary Risk Assessments."
It said the recommendations were published in January 2012 and the Welsh Government had written to everyone in the industry twice, in April and May 2017, in addition to an extensive communications campaign.
Data provided by Women on the Web, which offers abortion pills online, showed 5,650 women from both countries accessed the service from 2010 to 2015.
Most already have at least one child and a majority said taking the pills had been the right choice for them.
Laws in both countries ban or restrict access to abortion.
Abortion is legal in both countries if the mother's life it at risk. In Northern Ireland, it may also be permitted to preserve her physical or mental health.
Accessing pills which will terminate a pregnancy, or helping others to do so, can lead to a criminal prosecution in Northern Ireland, with the maximum sentence being life imprisonment.
Protesters are calling for a referendum to repeal the laws in the Republic. Later this month, Prime Minister Enda Kenny will hold a citizens' assembly to discuss whether a vote should take place to change abortion laws.
Since 2001, the number of women travelling to England and Wales for abortion services has fallen.
In a paper published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG), researchers from the University of Texas in Austin in the US analysed information provided by women using Women on the Web.
They say it is the first picture of women who obtain abortion pills online.
Of the 5,650 women who used the service, 25.8% were aged between 30 and 34 and 24.1% were aged from 25 to 29.
The lowest percentages were among women under 20, who made up 4.6% of those using the service, and over 45s who accounted for 2.6%.
Three-quarters were seven weeks pregnant or less.
Data from 3,500 women who used the site between 2013 and 2015 found slightly under two-thirds already had one or more children.
The most common reason for terminating their pregnancy was that they could not cope with a child "at this point in my life".
Having "no money to raise a child" was the second most common reason, followed by a feeling that their families were complete.
Contraceptive failure was the most common reason cited for pregnancy.
Prof Abigail Aiken, who led the study, said: "The findings of this paper contribute new and important evidence to the abortion policy debate in Northern Ireland.
"Northern Irish women have described in their own words the benefits of access to safe early medical abortion for their health, wellbeing, and autonomy. The current abortion law, which dates back to 1861, harms women by creating a climate of stigma, shame, and isolation."
However, Bernadette Smyth, of the pro-life group Precious Life, said: "Abortion is a criminal offence in Ireland and if women are accessing these dangerous pills online and have an adverse reaction that could endanger their life, who will take responsibility?
"To ensure the safety of women and babies these illegal online sites must be closed down.
"I want women with crisis pregnancies to be fully informed of the dangers of these pills and, more importantly, I want to provide help and support, because abortion is not the answer."
John Herbert McCluskey, who lived in Edinburgh, held roles as a defence counsel, a former Solicitor General and a Labour and crossbench peer.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon expressed her sadness at the news.
She describing him as "one of the outstanding Scots lawyers of his generation".
The Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, Gordon Jackson QC, said: "Lord McCluskey was a giant of Scots law. He had an outstanding career as counsel, law officer and judge.
"Although often outspoken, his views were always challenging and merited the most careful consideration."
Born on 12 June, 1929, McCluskey went to Edinburgh University and was Solicitor General for Scotland from 1974 to 1979. During that time, he worked on the then Labour government's proposals for devolution.
He became a member of the judiciary in 1984 and presided for 16 years as a High Court judge over some of the country's most high-profile criminal cases.
He became a Labour peer in the mid-1970s and was later a crossbench peer. He retired from the House of Lords earlier this year due to declining health.
In 2011, he chaired a panel of legal experts tasked with investigating the functions of the UK Supreme Court following a number of high-profile and controversial rulings affecting Scotland.
He later chaired a Scottish government-appointed group to review the Leveson Report.
It concluded that the Scottish press should be subject to mandatory regulation underpinned by law, but the Scottish government rejected the proposal.
Lord McCluskey was given a lifetime achievement award at the Scottish Legal Awards earlier this year.
The death was announced by his nephew, Niall McCluskey, also an advocate, who said on Twitter: "He was a great man and a fantastic lawyer. He will be missed."
A Scottish Labour spokesman said: "John was a giant of the legal profession, who served with distinction as Solicitor-General under Harold Wilson and continued to contribute to public life decades later.
"He played a key role in Scotland's devolution journey, working in the 1970s alongside John Smith and later serving as chairman of the Trustees of the John Smith Memorial Trust in memory of his friend.
"He will be sorely missed by the Labour movement, and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time."
In its latest paper on the 2014 referendum, it raises the possibility of Scottish callers facing roaming fees when they visit England.
The paper also claims independence could threaten postal services and rural broadband provision.
The Scottish government has pointed out that EU rules mean roaming charges will fall from Monday.
The paper drawn up in Westminster will claim that, after independence, Scottish mobile users travelling to the rest of the UK would be charged a premium for making calls "abroad".
It warns that people close to the border could inadvertently incur these charges if their mobile phone connected to a mast on the English side.
The paper also suggests the "world class services and economies of scale" of the post office could be put at risk and claims there might be less money to roll out high speed internet services for smaller communities.
UK Consumer Minister Jo Swinson said: "The UK's integrated infrastructure connects people and communities, creates jobs and supports trade.
"The government is committed to maintaining world class postal and broadband services. This includes continuation of a six-day-a-week postal delivery service and the provision of broadband to rural areas."
She added: "If Scotland left the UK, posting a letter or making a call could cost more - and there could be less choice for customers."
The Scottish government dismissed the claims and said successive Westminster governments had "substantially weakened" Scotland's communications infrastructure.
A spokeswoman said: "Since 2002, more than 400 Scottish post offices have closed and plans for privatisation of Royal Mail threatens jobs and the operation of the universal service obligation whilst people across rural Scotland regularly struggle with the lack of mobile phone coverage as the current system fails to deliver for Scotland.
"Independence will provide an opportunity to properly support the postal network with access to our fair share of UK assets."
On mobile phone charges, she added: "The UK government should acknowledge that the EU is looking to remove roaming charges completely and they are widely expected to be abolished well before 2016."
A senior Tory MSP described the claim that mobile phone bills could rise under Scottish independence as "silly".
Reacting on social networking site Twitter, Scottish Conservatives deputy leader Jackson Carlaw wrote: "Some of the arguments against #indy are becoming a bit silly."
Clarifying that he was referring to the mobile phone warning, he also urged the pro-union camp to "win playing at the highest level".
Improved school standards, new NHS treatments and 100,000 apprenticeships were among six election pledges for prosperity unveiled by Carwyn Jones.
He also promised free childcare and help for older people selling homes to pay for care if Labour wins in May.
Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said they would "scarcely paper over the cracks" after 17 years of Labour rule.
Mr Jones said Labour was offering "a helping hand for parents, breathing space for small business, continuing improvement in schools, the latest treatments for the sick and fairness for the older generation".
The six Labour promises include:
"In 2011, I promised the people of Wales a decade of delivery," he said.
"I said that despite the record cuts to our budget, we would fulfil the promises we made to steer the country through tough times.
"We are half way through that journey and on the promises we made in the last election, we did deliver.
"Today I set out six new promises. Welsh Labour's pledges to the people of Wales."
Responding for the Conservatives, Mr Davies claimed Labour were stealing some of his party's policies, adding: "These pledges will scarcely paper over the cracks, as the gap between Labour's rhetoric and its results continues to grow.
"Whilst Carwyn Jones talks of a decade of delivery, the people of Wales aren't naïve; all Labour have delivered is disappointment.
"Under Labour, Wales endures the lowest take-home pay in the UK; spending on frontline health services has been cut by a billion pounds since 2011; and despite moderate improvements in GCSE results, they remain worse than those in England.
"So much for ambition and prosperity."
This is Labour's pitch for another five years in office - another five years to add to the 17 the party has already spent in power since devolution began.
Somehow, Mr Jones must convince voters to give him more time.
The pledge to create a new treatment fund follows a huge row in the assembly over funding the NHS.
Opponents say Labour has cut spending, and the Tories want to see a dedicated fund for paying for cancer treatment.
Labour says it has protected the budget - and claims setting aside money for cancer care would penalise patients suffering from other conditions.
The 100,000 apprenticeships isn't drastically more than the number the Welsh government is creating now - 93,000 so far since the last election, one minister says.
But industry insiders say if Labour maintains a steady supply of apprentice places - and the funding required - then that would be welcomed.
And the schools pledge will be important to Carwyn Jones. He promised to protect funding for schools when he was elected Welsh Labour leader.
But opponents say Labour has presided over a slide in standards in the classroom.
The environmental group has parked the double-decker at Westminster.
It will cover the bus, which featured the controversial claim leaving the EU could boost the NHS by £350m a week, with questions for the government.
Singer Will Young and Pakistan's cricket team are reportedly among those to have previously hired the bus since the 23 June referendum.
This meant Greenpeace had to reinstate Vote Leave's branding after acquiring the bus, which carried Leave campaigners including Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Gisela Stuart around the campaign trail, before launching its "come clean" publicity stunt.
Blues must play at the Academy Stadium, where Manchester City beat Chelsea to win the Women's Super League title in front of more than 4,000 people.
"It will be the most un-neutral final you'll see in football," said Parker.
"Everything is against us, like walking into the lion's den," he told BBC WM.
"The FA opened it up to every club and ground in the country to bid on it and Man City put together the best bid.
"But they should have maybe discounted the WSL 1 grounds, especially the likes of a Man City, who have got half a chance of getting there.
"They've gone to Rotherham before. That fits the bill."
Manchester City will start as favourites after winning their first WSL title without losing a match.
They did it with a game to spare too, their final match not being until 30 October against Parker's Blues, who they beat 2-0 at Damson Park in May in this season's first league meeting between the two teams.
"Everyone will always write us off," said Parker. "But we've always done well with the underdog tag. In women's football, we're big Birmingham City. We're big dogs.
"We've been Champions League semi-finalists (in 2014) and we're one of the top 13 clubs in Europe. On the continent we've got a better reputation than we have in our own domestic league for what we've achieved.
"We're little Birmingham City against one of the big four, with lots of resources. There's still a massive gulf between the likes of us, City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
"But we've always had ambitions. I always thought this was possible. Now we have got to grab it with both hands."
Birmingham's side has changed greatly from the one that beat Chelsea to win the FA Women's Cup in 2012, their first major trophy.
But German striker Isabelle Linden, one of a clutch of mid-season foreign signings, says they are itching for more silverware.
"Everyone knows how good Man City are," she told BBC WM. "But it is a one-off game. If we have the best day and City do not, then we can win.
"I waited so long for a final, then I had the national final with Germany in 2013. And we have a great team spirit here. I really hope we can celebrate together after the game.
"It feels a bit like family here now. The girls are very nice to me. It is different to Germany. In the next three years, English football will be much better.
"It is a lot more tactical in Germany but players here are faster and I like that. That is the main difference to German football."
Interviews with BBC WM's Rob Gurney.
At the centre of the furore is 86 year-old Hungarian-born philanthropist George Soros.
His Open Society Foundations (OSF) are active in 100 countries, and have supported civil groups in Eastern Europe and the Balkans since the mid-1980s. When they were in opposition, leading Fidesz figures were themselves beneficiaries of the OSF.
Fidesz officials and pro-government media accuse the NGOs of representing an unelected, meddling, liberal elite whose time has gone.
Soros-funded groups now stand accused of organising anti-government protests in Poland, and of using anti-corruption campaigns in Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary to undermine elected officials.
Mr Soros was himself targeted by US President-elect Donald Trump in a campaign ad last year, criticised for repeating anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and "global special interests".
"First, the government weakened democratic institutions like the Constitutional Court and the office of the Ombudsman," said Andras Kadar, co-chairman of one NGO, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee.
"Then they decimated the press," he complained, in a reference to the government takeover of public service media and the buyout or closure of critical voices such as the main opposition daily Nepszabadsag last October.
"Now they're declaring war on those watchdog NGOs which have the capacity to investigate and expose the abuse of power." Three have been named: Transparency International, the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, and the Helsinki Committee.
More stories from Hungary
That is not how leading Fidesz officials see it. Donald Trump's election victory in the US has created an "international opportunity to sweep away" the troublesome organisations, according to Fidesz's deputy leader in parliament Szilard Nemeth.
And Prime Minister Viktor Orban agrees. This will be the year, he told online tabloid 888.hu in December, when such NGOs are squeezed out all over Europe. "Where the money came from, which secret services they were connected to, and which NGOs serve which interests, all will be uncovered," he declared.
Mr Orban's "spring offensive" will start with an amendment to a 2011 law, to require NGO leaders to declare their assets. This appears to be modelled on recent Russian and Israeli regulations to restrict civil society.
In a statement, OSF President Christopher Stone said the organisation's past work in Hungary had included awarding 3,000 scholarships to Hungarian students - who included Mr Orban himself.
"The Open Society Foundations will continue to work in Hungary despite government opposition to our mission of fairer, accountable societies," he said.
"In Hungary and around the world we are more focused than ever on working with local groups to strengthen democratic practice, rights, and justice."
Last year, the OSF was banished from Russia after a three-stage process that began with financial investigations, and then saw it labelled as a "foreign agent", which finally made it impossible to function.
And Hungary now needs to act too, says Fidesz's Szilard Nemeth. "The Soros empire's pseudo-civil organisations are funded to push global big business and the world of political correctness by going over the head of national governments. These organisations must be driven back by all possible means."

The Blues lie 16th in the table and sacked manager Jose Mourinho on Thursday.
"If you ask me objectively: 'Will Chelsea go down?' I say, 'no, no chance'," said Wenger, who was speaking before Mourinho lost his job.
"They are in a difficult spell, but they are not in a relegation battle."
Asked if he thought Chelsea's best chance of turning their form around was to keep Mourinho, Wenger added: "I do not want to assess any other things over Chelsea because it's not my problem."
Wenger was called a "specialist in failure" by Mourinho in February 2014, with the Frenchman describing the remark as both "disrespectful" and "embarrassing".
The Arsenal boss also pushed Mourinho during Chelsea's 2-0 victory over the Gunners later that year.
The duo had also clashed in 2005, during Mourinho's his first spell as Chelsea boss, with the Portuguese calling his rival a "voyeur".
Arsenal, who are second in the Premier League, welcome third-placed Manchester City to Emirates Stadium on Monday.
The Gunners hold a one-point lead over Manuel Pellegrini's side.
Wenger could have forward Alexis Sanchez back after he injured a hamstring in the draw at Norwich on 1 December.
"There is a very slight chance for Sanchez to be in the game," said Wenger. "He is running but not participating in full training.
"It is still December. We are not fighting for the Premier League on Monday but we will look to nullify individual quality they have."
Leicester are the surprise leaders of the Premier League with 35 points from 16 games.
The average amount of points earned by the champions since the top flight was reduced to 20 teams is 85.7, but Wenger says the winners may take the title with a lower mark this term.
"It looks to be very tight," he said. "The Premier League could be decided at around 80 points.
"If you look at the results, consistency will be the main priority because every week you are surprised by results.
"We have established a good run and it is important we continue that."
Wenger was speaking for the first time since his side were drawn to play Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Arsenal were beaten by the Spanish side in the 2006 final, while Barca also knocked them out in 2010 and 2011.
"We are more mature," said the Gunners boss.
"It was always very tight and we were sometimes unlucky as well. We do not forget that and it is deep in my body.
"We have a chance to put things right and we will focus on that."
The "register to vote" site crashed on 7 June last year just before the deadline for people to sign up to vote.
The UK government and electoral administrators blamed a surge in demand after a TV debate.
But MPs on the parliamentary Public Administration Committee say a foreign cyber attack could not be ruled out.
The suggestion came in their report at the end of their inquiry into Lessons learned from the EU Referendum.
The report, and published evidence with the report, does not appear to quote anyone saying that the voter registration site had been targeted.
And the Cabinet Office, who commissioned its own report into the website crash, said: "We have been very clear about the cause of the website outage in June 2016. It was due to a spike in users just before the registration deadline.
"There is no evidence to suggest malign intervention. We conducted a full review into the outage and have applied the lessons learned. We will ensure these are applied for all future polls and online services."
The website crashed at about 10.15pm on 7 June, 2016,, shortly after a televised debate and amid social media campaigns to get people to register to vote ahead of the midnight deadline. Official figures suggest 525.000 people applied to register to vote that day.
The Public Administration Committee's chairman, Leave-supporting Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, told BBC News there was "circumstantial", rather than "hard and fast" evidence the registration site had been targeted.
He said the committee's report had included the possibility that the crash "may have been caused by a DDoS (distributed denial of service attack) using botnets" in its report "on advice".
"The government were clearly very reluctant to delve into this," he said.
"We took quite deep advice on this from various places and it's not unreasonable, given there's quite a lot of this going on in other countries, that this could have happened in this case," he added.
After the website crash the then Prime Minister David Cameron extended the deadline by 48 hours for registering to vote in the referendum - 430,000 people applied to register to vote during that extension period.
According to evidence submitted to the committee from the Association of Electoral Administrators the electoral registration system "could not cope with the demand... and any contingency measures were wholly inadequate".
It says: "This concern had been raised on a number of occasions... reassurances had been given that what actually occurred could never happen."
That foreign parties might have tried to crash a government website in the lead up to a key poll is a serious suggestion, but does it hold much weight? Cybersecurity experts are sceptical.
"I think there's lots of conjecture," says Ollie Whitehouse at NCC Group. "It appears to be one committee's opinion but with no supporting evidence."
He also pointed out that government websites were known to suffer during periods of unusually high demand, though their robustness had improved in recent years.
The wording of the report is, indeed, "very vague", notes John Graham-Cumming at networking firm Cloudflare. In order to really know what happened, traffic to the website prior to the downtime would have to be analysed.
That is only possible if adequate records have been kept, Mr Graham-Cumming adds.
"Most websites don't store very detailed information," he notes. But if logs show traffic from a large number of sources around the world, that might indicate that a botnet - a system of enslaved computers - was used to attack the site. "That could be interesting," he says.
In its report the committee has also criticised Mr Cameron's "questionable" motives for calling a referendum in the first place, saying it had been done to "call the bluff" of his critics and shut down "unwelcome" debate.
It urged future governments to think carefully before promising nationwide votes on controversial issues, particularly if they are not prepared to implement an outcome they do not like.
"There was no proper planning for a Leave vote so the EU referendum opened up much new controversy and left the prime minister's credibility destroyed," the report says.
It said that civil servants should be required to prepare for both possible outcomes in future referendums - such as a second vote on Scottish independence - something they had been prevented from doing in the run-up to the Brexit vote.
The committee called on the government to set up a new Cyber Security Centre to monitor and contain potential attacks on UK elections and referendums - particularly foreign attempts to influence public opinion and disrupt the democratic process.
"The US and UK understanding of 'cyber' is predominantly technical and computer-network based," said the report.
"For example, Russia and China use a cognitive approach based on understanding of mass psychology and of how to exploit individuals.
"The implications of this different understanding of cyber-attack, as purely technical or as reaching beyond the digital to influence public opinion, for the interference in elections and referendums are clear," the report added.
Alistair Wilson, of New Pitsligo, near Fraserburgh, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but died on Monday.
The 51-year-old was driving a grey Vauxhall Astra when he crashed into a silver BMW 320 on the A90 at around 09:30 BST.
Both of the men had to be cut free from their vehicles at the crash site near the Murcar roundabout.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
For among the forest of union and Ulster flags was an unlikely face whose presence may just show Mr Robinson is on to something.
"The speech generally struck a few chords with me," said Terry Andrews, who left the SDLP three years ago after a fall-out with the then party leader Margaret Ritchie and now sits on Down Council as an independent.
He said he was attending his second DUP conference after being invited by friends in the party.
By no stretch could he be described as a unionist. But how would he vote in a border poll?
"If there was a border poll in the morning, I'm happy enough with the situation as it stands," Councillor Andrews told BBC Northern Ireland's The View .
Stephen Goss is a unionist from Andersonstown, west Belfast.
"It wasn't an entirely popular decision amongst friends and family," he told the programme.
"I just decided politically that Northern Ireland's position in the UK was probably the best one. I always identified more culturally with Britain than the Republic of Ireland, so it just seemed the natural choice really, despite the bizarre nature of it," said Mr Goss, who is now a member of the Northern Ireland Conservatives after leaving the Ulster Unionist Party.
So how many Catholics does he believe feel like him?
"Probably more feel it than actually show it or say it. There would be quite a few Catholics I imagine who increasingly are content with Northern Ireland's position but wouldn't necessarily vote unionist or be strident about their views," he said.
He believes that's the point Peter Robinson is driving at, but he doesn't think he will attract Catholics to vote for his party.
"There's legacy issues with the DUP. Robinson can stand up and make these very nice statements about how he wants to reach out to Catholics, but there's still the history of the DUP," Mr Goss said.
Journalist Stephen McCaffrey believes Mr Robinson is fully aware of that.
"Whether or not he's correct, I think what he was telling his party is that "there are a portion of the community who may not want to support the Union, may not want to vote for the Union, but if we're clever and we can crack a deal with them we can ensure that they won't vote against it'."
PR Consultant Sheila Davidson is another Catholic who supports the Union. She's a former member of the Conservative Party who wanted to stand for election during the party's abortive electoral deal with the Ulster Unionists.
She found Peter Robinson's conference speech interesting, but believes his party still carries too much baggage to attract Catholic votes.
"I have real strong views in terms of the kind of flag-waving Protestantism (side) of unionism," she said.
"I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with it by the way and I think that if that's where your feeling is that you are absolutely entitled to say that.
"But I don't think that if you're in the business of political leadership that you can straddle both kinds of communities and say one thing that is going to fit both. That is never going to be the case."
Kyle Boyd is a 24-year-old Protestant who is also a nationalist.
A member of the SDLP executive, he agrees Peter Robinson has his work cut out appealing to Catholics "if his party are continually waving flags which they don't feel comfortable with whenever they're watching a party leader's speech".
In his speech to the DUP conference Mr Robinson said his goal was to cement Northern Ireland's place in the Union even if it meant "taking tough decisions or abandoning out-dated dogmas."
Could that mean having to further water down the traditional party brand to attract more Catholic support, if not for it, then for the Union?
Researchers found a 10% reduction in premature births and severe childhood asthma attacks within a year of smoke-free laws being introduced.
A research team analysed 11 previous studies from North America and Europe.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said smoking bans benefitted adults and children.
This is one of the first large studies to look at how anti-smoking laws in different countries and states are affecting the health of children living in those regions.
Laws that prohibit smoking in public places, such as bars, restaurants and workplaces, have already been shown to protect adults from the dangers of passive smoking.
In this study, researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Maastricht University, Hasselt University in Belgium, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital looked at more than 2.5 million births and almost 250,000 hospital attendances for asthma attacks in children.
Dr Jasper Been, lead study author from the Maastricht University Medical Centre in The Netherlands, said the research on children under 12 was revealing.
"Our study provides clear evidence that smoking bans have considerable public health benefits for perinatal and child health, and provides strong support for WHO recommendations to create smoke-free public environments on a national level."
The study also found a 5% decline in children being born very small for their age after the introduction of smoke-free laws.
Co-author Professor Aziz Sheikh, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston, Massachusetts, and the University of Edinburgh, said there was potential to improve the health of more children.
"The many countries that are yet to enforce smoke-free legislation should in the light of these findings reconsider their positions on this important health policy question."
Previous research suggests that 40% of children worldwide are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke, which has been shown to be a cause of respiratory disease and a trigger for asthma attacks in children.
Recent European research also showed that passive smoking causes thickening of children's arteries which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes in later life.
Experts say children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of second-hand smoke because their lungs and immune systems are still developing.
At present, 16% of the world's population is covered by smoke-free laws.
Scotland introduced a ban on smoking in enclosed public places in 2006, and England in 2007.
Commenting on the study, Professor Ronnie Lamont from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said the study provided further evidence that smoking bans had substantial health benefits for adults and children.
"Smoking during pregnancy has been shown to have adverse effects on foetal development and pregnant women need to be informed of the risks and should be offered advice and support to help them give up.
"It is important that healthcare professionals encourage women to lead a healthy lifestyle."
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said it supported recommendations for further implementation of smoke-free environments.
A Department of Health spokesman said it wanted to build on the smoking ban by making it illegal for adults to buy cigarettes for children and to smoke in cars carrying children.
"We are also stopping tobacco being sold from vending machines and increasing the tax on tobacco and banning displays," it said.
But Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest, said children tended to be exposed to second-hand smoke in the home, "so workplace smoking bans would have little or no impact on children".
"If the report is suggesting that environmental tobacco smoke is the only or principal cause of childhood asthma, that's ridiculous," he said.
"In the UK the number of people suffering from asthma has tripled in the last 40 years. During that same period the number of people who smoke has halved and today relatively few children are exposed to tobacco smoke in confined spaces such as homes and cars."
Mr Clark added that calling for more countries to introduce comprehensive smoke-free legislation was "a gross overreaction".
Hamilton recorded his 32nd grand prix success on Sunday which saw him overtake Nigel Mansell as the all-time British record holder for race wins.
"I can't see any reason why he can't get four or five or six championships," Moss told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He is as good as we've got, and we're very lucky to have him."
Moss, 85, is widely regarded as the greatest driver never to win a world title.
He came closest in 1958, when he lost out to Ferrari's Mike Hawthorn by a single point, despite winning four races to his rival's one that season.
Moss added: "Hamilton looks to be unassailable, quite frankly. He's up with Jimmy Clark, and people like that."
The late Jim Clark won two championship titles in 1963 and 1965, as well as 25 grand prix races, the fourth highest of any British driver.
But Moss believes 2008 champion Hamilton, 29, will move even further clear at the top of the all-time British standings.
"He is that good," he said. "The cars are that reliable these days, therefore one can judge a man by his talent - his enormous talent. He's exciting to watch."
They argue it violates the constitution that prohibits the recording of details about people living with HIV.
The president ordered the collection of the data in February, to help the provision of health services.
Children were required to list their names, schools, guardians and relatives possibly affected by their condition.
Activist groups Kenya Legal and Ethical Issues Network (Kelin), Children of God Relief Institute (Nyumbani) and two other parties jointly filed the petition.
The case began on Wednesday and its second hearing will be on 10 July.
African news updates
According to the UN, more than 1.6 million people are living with HIV in Kenya, including 190,000 children aged 14 and under.
The activists fear the process used in collecting the data could push back the fight against stigmatisation.
Kelin's executive director, Allan Maleche, said the case would have far-reaching ramifications for HIV patients in terms of their privacy and confidentiality.
"We are worried and strongly feel that the method that was used in the collection of the names will be problematic because it would directly link the person's name and their HIV status, which would be contrary to the law," Mr Maleche said.

Caring for Kenya's HIV orphans
The BBC's Anne Soy in the capital, Nairobi, says the activists raised concerns about the directive when it was first issued, so it is not clear how much data has been collected across Kenya's 47 counties.
The directive also requested that personal information be collected for pregnant women with HIV.
Alexander Burnett was reported to police in September over claims he failed to properly declare spending linked to office accommodation he owns.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said it had concluded its investigations, and no action would be taken.
Mr Burnett was elected as the MSP for Aberdeenshire West last year.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Following enquiries into alleged election expenses, police can confirm that no evidence of criminality has been found.
"After consultation with Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, no further action will be taken."
At the time, the SNP claimed the allegations were a "serious matter" - but the Scottish Conservatives said the SNP was "engaged in a nothing more than a politically-motivated fishing expedition".
The reconstruction, carried out by staff at the University of Dundee, will form part of a forthcoming exhibition.
The skeleton was one of ten sets of remains found at a previously undiscovered church, thought to be at least 1,000 years old, in 2013.
Analysis of the remains showed the man was between 36 and 45 when he died.
His origins have been linked to the east of England, possibly Lincolnshire, and his skeleton dates back to between 1035 and 1070AD.
The remains showed signs of degenerative bone diseases, suggesting an active and strenuous lifestyle.
Caroline Erolin, lecturer in forensic and medical art in Dundee, said: "His grave lay slightly under an important sarcophagus burial, which had resulted in excellent preservation of his skull making it the best candidate among the skeletons for facial reconstruction."
The remains were found during a £22m renovation of Lincoln Castle, which has seen the creation of a new Magna Carta vault and an audio walk around the castle's walls.
It is believed the undiscovered stone church was built in the Anglo-Saxon period, after the Romans left Britain and before the Norman conquest of 1066.
Exhibits from the dig, including the facial reconstruction, are set to be unveiled at the official opening of Lincoln Castle on 8 June.
David Fox, an ex-Reuters reporter, and Giuseppe Serafino, a bar owner, were arrested in Bali on 8 October.
The pair could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted of drug possession, transportation and use, or four years if found guilty of use alone.
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws.
Police allege they confiscated 10.09 grams of hashish from Mr Fox's house and clothing in a sting operation.
"We will convince the judges with witnesses that he's an addict," Mr Fox's lawyer, Haposan Sihombing, told the Australian Associated Press outside Denpasar District Court on Thursday.
"He saw lots of horrible incidents so that every night, he couldn't sleep and started using drugs to calm himself."
Mr Fox, 55, worked for Reuters for 20 years, filing reports from war-torn countries including Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda.
The court heard 48-year-old Mr Serafino, who has lived in Bali since 2011, began using hashish as an alternative to prescribed pain medication.
"He used it with the intention of relieving back pain caused by a cyst in his kidney and to increase his appetite," said documents read in court, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Police claim Mr Serafino was found with 7.32 grams of hashish.
The men's cases are being heard separately.
Wigan, who have lost in each of the last two Grand Finals, start the new Super League season at home to Catalans Dragons on Friday.
Dual-code England international Tomkins, 28, has scored 59 tries in 193 games during two spells with Warriors.
He started his career at Wigan and returned in 2014 after a three-year spell in rugby union with Saracens.
Tomkins' younger brother Sam, who is back at Wigan after a spell playing for New Zealand Warriors in the NRL, will also miss the start of the season because of a knee problem.
Although it was part of a five-nation tour, this was a journey to mend relations after a year of diplomatic tension.
Mr Turnbull's time with Mr Widodo, leaders with contrasting characters and backgrounds, were documented in the images coming out of this meeting - they could provide clues to the themes likely to define this crucial relationship.
During crucial trade talks this week, they appeared to effortlessly find common ground as they made a commitment to repair ties.
Earlier this year, the Australia's opposition said ties had reached "unprecedented strain" over asylum seeker policies too. The executions of drug traffickers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran prompted Australia to withdraw its ambassador from Indonesia.
President Widodo acknowledged the proximity between the two nations meant a "higher the intensity of the interactions", and "higher potential for friction".
Mr Turnbull talked up the blossoming bilateral partnership focusing on economic prosperity.
They both occupy the highest office, but the leaders come from very different backgrounds.
Mr Turnbull is a multi-millionaire from one of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs, whose wife Lucy was the city's first female Lord Mayor.
Mr Widodo, commonly referred to as Jokowi, is considered an outsider after becoming the first Indonesian president not to have climbed the ranks of the political elite. He rose rapidly from humble beginnings as a furniture salesman.
Their meeting against a salubrious background was probably what Mr Turnbull can expect from all the other nations in this tour but what followed in Jakarta was a different flavour.
Malcolm Turnbull became the first world leader to accompany Mr Widodo on his trademark "blusukan" walks.
He appeared to be enjoying himself, despite the heat, and obvious reservations of his security detail.
The duo took off their ties in a show of solidarity. But whether their performance for the cameras is the precursor to a long-lasting diplomatic friendship is yet to be proven.
UTV has operated a television station in Northern Ireland since 1959 and has other television and radio operations in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
UTV broadcasts many of Northern Ireland's most watched programmes.
Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt, a former news presenter at UTV, said the company's move had "the whiff of surrender".
The company expanded into television in the Republic of Ireland in January this year but it has struggled to find an audience.
UTV Ireland is expected to lose almost £12m this year.
As a result, UTV has been reviewing its options and it looks as though a radical plan is taking shape.
It is in talks about the sale of its television assets, most likely to ITV.
If that happens, it will mean UTV will become a radio-only business.
There are unlikely to be big on-air changes locally if the television business is sold, but it would raise questions about the future of UTV Ireland.
Mr Nesbitt said the company had switched its "focus from the viewer" to one of "satisfying the shareholder".
He added: "Having spent so many years making UTV stand out from ITV, the news that ITV is the most likely buyer has the whiff of surrender."
French Ecology Minister Delphine Batho said there was no health risk after she visited the factory in the northern city of Rouen in Normandy.
Thousands of people, from as far away as Paris and London, have complained of nausea and headaches.
The gas is mercaptan, an additive to natural gas said to be harmless.
It leaked on Monday from a plant run by a French subsidiary of the US chemicals manufacturer Lubrizol near Rouen, 75 miles (120km) north-west of Paris.
Winds blew the cloud over northern France on Monday night and then into England on Tuesday.
Ms Batho cut short an official trip to Berlin to supervise emergency operations to stop the leak.
"I'm reassured," she told reporters after visiting the factory on Tuesday.
Ms Batho added that operations could last several days: "I prefer that we take our time rather than take risks."
Authorities will investigate what caused the leak and whether the company should be held responsible, the ecology minister said.
Tuesday evening's French Cup football match between Rouen and Marseille has been postponed because of the stink.
"We did not want to find ourselves with 10,000 fans 2km (1.5 miles) from the factory and with no means of confining them or evacuating them if necessary," local government official Florence Gouache told AFP news agency.
A Rouen resident told Reuters news agency the stench pervaded his home; "You can't ventilate. There is nothing to do, it's constantly in the room and it's unbearable."
Another resident told AFP news agency: "This is horrible. I thought I was in a gas cylinder." Another said the air smelled of "rotten eggs".
There is no word on the cause of the leak. The factory has been closed.
It is a "Seveso" site - a classification named after an industrial leak in Italy in 1976 and entailing a high degree of supervision,
A senior executive at the factory, Pierre-Jean Payrouse, said stopping the leak could take until the evening.
In Britain, the Health Protection Agency said: "The smell drifting over Southern England today poses no risk to public health.
"The odour, which is similar to rotten eggs, has been noticed by people mainly in Kent, East and West Sussex and some parts of Surrey."
Emergency officials in southern Kent advised residents "to keep doors and windows closed due to a gas cloud".
Well, maybe you're feeling a little nostalgic, because it's exactly 10 years since the final episode of the most successful sitcom in history aired in Britain.
After 10 seasons of watching New York's favourite twenty-somethings fall in love, split up, get hired, get fired, get stranded, get pregnant, we waved farewell to Chandler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe.
Because WE WERE ON A BREAK.
And those recent rumours of a reunion episode have been scotched because, as Matt LeBlanc, who played the loveable but clueless Joey Tribbiani, observed: "That show was about a finite period of time in life, after college and before your relationship and family starts and where your friends are your support system.
"That's what the magic of the show was - everyone goes through that and can relate to that."
Things have changed in the decade since. For one, the final episode was actually broadcast in the UK three weeks after it aired in the US - without pirate copies and spoilers flooding the internet.
For aficionados, many aspects of the show have passed into legend - but here are 10 things you might not know:
1) The original theme tune was to be REM's Shiny Happy People.
It was used in the pilot, when the show was called Friends Like Us, but was replaced by I'll Be There For You, which was co-written by the show's creators, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, and performed by The Rembrandts.
It was originally only a minute long, but when a radio DJ made a three-minute loop, the group knew they had to make a full-length rewrite.
"Our record label said we had to finish the song and record it. There was no way to get out of it," said lead singer Phil Solem.
It reached number one in the US and number three in the UK - where it sold more than 600,000 copies - but it would remain the band's only hit.
Their follow-up, This House Is Not A Home, limped into the UK charts at number 58.
2) David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry were such unknown quantities in 1994 that US newspapers tried to promote Courteney Cox as the "star" of the cast - based on her recurring role in the sitcom Family Ties and a fleeting appearance in a Bruce Springsteen video.
In fact, Joey and Monica were even supposed to be the main couple.
The show's creator Marta Kauffman explained: "They just seemed the most sexual of the characters."
3) Matt LeBlanc was down to his last $11 when he auditioned. He had a cut on his nose from falling over drunk and hitting his face on a toilet seat the night before. When they received their first pay cheques, Courteney Cox, who played Monica, celebrated by buying a Porsche.
LeBlanc bought a hot meal. "Friends, when it came my way, was my fourth TV series - and the other three had failed," he said. "I had exactly $11 in my pocket the day I was hired. I had to go back and read for the part of Joey a total of six times. It was far from certain I would get the role."
4) The character of Gunther was meant to be a non-speaking part and he didn't even have a name until the second season.
The actor, James Michael Tyler, got the role because he worked in a coffee shop and knew how to operate an espresso machine. He even kept his day job during the first four seasons of Friends.
"I had several different types of jobs, but at the time that Friends started, I was working in a coffee shop in Los Angeles called the Bourgeois Pig," said Tyler.
"I was a barista there but had been doing extra work off and on for someone who had become the second assistant director on Friends.
"He called me up and said: 'Hey, I know you're working at that coffee shop, and we have a coffee shop set in this new show that's gonna go six episodes, at least, called Friends. Would you be interested in coming in one day a week?' and I think at that time extra pay was $45 a day."
5) Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston had the same lunch on set every day for 10 years - a Cobb salad.
"I'm so tired of that salad, but it is easier just to say, 'Oh, I'll take what she's having!'" Cox told Oprah Winfrey as the show drew to a close in 2004.
But she later admitted to the Los Angeles Times it hadn't been a Cobb salad at all...
"It was a salad Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don't know what. She just has a way with food, which really helps. Because if you're going to eat the same salad every day for 10 years, it'd better be a good salad, right?"
6) The famous framed peephole in Monica's front door was originally a mirror but a member of the crew accidentally smashed it. Set designer Greg Grande decided he liked the look and left the frame in place.
Grande was responsible for the show's innovative decor - the first time a TV sitcom was based in an apartment that genuinely felt "lived-in".
"These were young, struggling Generation X-type characters who had to struggle to make a dime," he said. "Their furnishings came from swap meets, thrift stores.
"The ironic thing is that when people watch the show, their first response is: 'How can they afford a space like that?' But if you look at each piece, you truly could've gone and found each one of those pieces at an [affordable] place. That's how Monica's came about."
7) Bruce Willis guest-starred free in two episodes after losing a bet with Matthew Perry on the film set of The Whole Nine Yards. Perry bet him that The Whole Nine Yards would top the US box office, and he won. All future payments for his appearance were donated to charity.
8) TV Network NBC made $70m (£42.5m) from the final night of Friends, thanks to advertisers who paid $2m (£1.2m) for every 30-second slot.
It was a record haul for an entertainment show, with the price tag per advert only slightly below that for the Super Bowl.
The profits had to be offset against the cast's stellar wages, though. Having grouped together to negotiate their salaries, they were earning $1m (£600,000) per episode for the last few seasons.
That inflated the cost of the show to $10m (£6m) per episode, almost 20 times the normal price of a studio sitcom.
At times, the network made a loss on the show, according to the Los Angeles Times - which may have influenced its decision to replace the sitcom with the much cheaper reality series The Apprentice.
9) Marcel the Monkey - actually a female named Katie - got a Hollywood movie deal before any of the cast. She starred in Outbreak.
10) The cast were just as sad about the show ending as the audience were.
"This is gutting us," said Jennifer Aniston during the last week of filming. "We're like very delicate china. We're speeding towards a brick wall. Inevitable pain."
"And we're going to smash into a million pieces," added Lisa Kudrow. "It's a deeper loss than I was expecting."
Matt LeBlanc was less sentimental, noting that Joey Tribbiani had taken up "a third of my life".
The show's heartwarming farewell, filmed in January 2004, allowed the six characters to move out of New York, and on to the next stages of their lives.
"What we hope is that people feel good about saying goodbye to them, and that they're all going to be OK," Kauffman said.
The final scene was shot on Stage 24 at Warner Bros Studios, where Friends had been filmed since its second season. After the show wrapped up, the stage was renamed The Friends Stage.
Sheriff Mbye, 18, of Lee Bank, died in hospital on 17 April after being stabbed several times on Bristol Road South, Northfield, police said.
Montell Stephens, 18, of Smethwick, who was injured and taken to hospital, was charged, the West Midlands force said.
Mr Stephens, of William Savage Way, is due at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Rakeem Riley, 18, of no fixed address, and Omar Robinson, 21, of Rann Close, Ladywood, have previously been charged with murder.
The programme of events is expected to bring a million visitors to the city, said Visit Hull and East Yorkshire.
This is more than can be accommodated by hotel rooms available in the city centre which number about 1,000.
Hull beat Leicester, Dundee and Swansea Bay to the right to hold the title in 2017.
The UK government chooses a new destination every four years, with the aim of helping tourism and the economy.
Anthony Yates, of Visit Hull and East Yorkshire, said the events were expected to bring a "million visitors to the city from all over the world".
"We want each and every guest to have a fantastic experience and leave with a lasting impression that Hull is a city with a personality like no other."
Martin Green, of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, said: "Every resident of the city is the face of Hull 2017 so we want them to embrace the 'everyone back to ours' spirit by throwing open their front doors."
Training is to be given to volunteers who want to offer rooms to visitors.
Airbnb, the accommodation website, said listings in the city had gone up by more than 200% and a host in Hull could earn £127 a week on average.
The government's Rent a Room Scheme lets you earn up to £7,500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home. This is halved if you share the income with your partner or someone else.
Toner made his senior Leinster debut in January 2006 and has chalked up 187 appearances, scoring three tries.
His Ireland debut came in the 20-10 win over Samoa in November 2010 and Toner has won 42 caps.
"There's a huge amount of talent coming through at Leinster and it is a really exciting time to be involved with the province," said the 30-year-old.
Toner was part of the Six Nations winning sides of 2014 and 2015 and has collected three Heineken Cups, an Amlin Cup and three Pro12 league titles with Leinster.
He added: "I am delighted to have re-signed with the IRFU and Leinster.
"There is a real opportunity to be successful at both provincial and national level over the coming years and I look forward to playing a part in helping to achieve that success."
Police found the man badly injured on Canon Cockin Street in Hendon just after 23:00 GMT on Friday. He died later in hospital.
Northumbria Police confirmed seven people were being questioned in connection the death.
A force spokesman said extra police patrols were also being carried out in the area.
Many services have been cancelled or replaced by buses and others are running less frequently.
The action follows the breakdown of talks with ScotRail on 6 July. Railway workers were also striking on Sunday.
The union is backing industrial action over concerns about the operation of more trains without guards.
On driver-only-operation trains, the driver is asked to close the doors at stations, instead of a conductor.
Such operations are already common on the ScotRail network, particularly on suburban rail lines.
ScotRail has said it would ensure a second member of staff was scheduled to be on board every train to assist the driver in emergencies.
However, the company has accepted there are occasions when a ticket examiner does not turn up for work that a train could run with only a driver and Scotrail has said it has union agreement for this.
The union believes the absence of a dedicated guard would make trains less safe.
Passengers are advised to check the ScotRail strike information web page before they travel.
The website lists more than 20 services that have been cancelled or have replacement bus services right across the country.
Several other routes are running with a reduced frequency.
The RMT is planning further strikes on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Natalie Seymour is one of the 32 women competing for one of just 16 places in the Olympic hockey team.
The women are training together on a full-time basis at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre in Buckinghamshire. Competition is fierce but they have a common goal.
"We are all pushing each other, which is great because the competition for places will only make the best team go to London and that's really what we are all aspiring to," said Seymour.
"We are in an environment where we are used to selection and when you don't get selected for things it's really tough. But we have to be safe in the knowledge that the coaches are going to pick the squad that they think will win a medal in London.
"While you will be disappointed, there will be a period of time when you go in and train and help the guys out that are going. It's something we work on with our psychologist."
A SPORTING FAMILY
Seymour, 24, grew up in Maidstone and went to Boughton Monchelsea Primary School and then Maidstone Grammar School for Girls.
From a young age, she became involved in various different sports but at the age of 13 chose to focus on hockey.
The opportunity to perform at an Olympic Games at your home country - it just doesn't get any better than that.
"It's just great being part of a team and the opportunities of playing a fast skilful game," she said.
"Hockey combines all aspects of fitness - you've got the skill related stuff but you've also got the health-related fitness in terms of speed and you need to be strong and fit so it's really good."
Seymour comes from a sporting family and has two sisters who have also been involved in sport. Her eldest sister, Louisa, used to be part of the England rugby set-up. Her family have always strongly supported her ambition to excel at her sport.
She said: "I can remember days when my mum would drive me around the county to various hockey events.
"When I was doing all the sports under the sun, she drove me from a netball tournament to a hockey game then back to a swimming gala in the evening."
"Having that kind of support as well as the emotion support is invaluable."
GETTING SELECTED
So how confident is Seymour that she will make it to London 2012?
"You have to go into every day believing you are going to be part of that squad. Every single one of us wants to be in a team that is winning medals in London 2012.
"The thought of that gives me goosebumps but right now I'm just trying to focus on those day-to-day processes. If you look too far ahead, you won't do the right thing now."
The all-important selection date is towards the end of June, which seems late considering the games begin in July. But as the decision is based on performance, Seymour believes the players that form the best, balanced team at the time will be the ones to go.
The team that is selected should have a good chance of bringing medal home, according to Seymour.
"It's an exciting thing to be involved in and you've got the support around you of other people going through exactly the same thing and it's a great thing to share.
"When the going gets tough there's always someone there to pick you up. You are making sure you are doing best for the team, not just for yourself."
So, what would it mean to win a place in that Olympic team?
"It would just be a dream come true.
"It's been a goal of mine for so long to be part of successful international teams and the opportunity to perform at any Olympics is priceless.
"But the opportunity to perform at an Olympic Games at your home country - it just doesn't get any better than that."
Natalie Seymour is one of BBC Radio Kent's three featured athletes as part of 'Olympic Dreams' in the build-up to London 2012.
The £21m James Hehir Building will house specialist science laboratories and a new student union bar.
"We have a sensational building which is very distinctive and which complements the £40m waterfront building which is very close by," said Professor Mike Saks, provost of UCS.
"It will be very attractive to students - everything is state of the art."
New courses using the new facilities will be in place for next year and will include stem cell research in partnership with American firm Geron Corp.
"We're working with them on one particular cell therapy, which is going to address, we hope, osteoarthritis which is a huge problem in the UK and worldwide," said Professor Brendon Noble, head of school of health, science and social care at UCS.
"Osteoarthritis happens to a huge proportion of us and is very debilitating.
"It's a hugely expensive issue worldwide so the company, the health service and the government know we've got to look at ways to cost cut and have new medicines for that."
The first intake of students is already using the facility, which will be officially opened on 30 March.
Professor Saks paid tribute to James Hehir, the late former chief executive of Ipswich Borough Council.
"Jim Hehir had such a fantastic reputation in terms of the regeneration of Ipswich and in terms of being a real human being, we thought in many ways he encapsulated the spirit of University Campus Suffolk and our very high aspirations for the future," he said.
Both missed the 5-1 win over Malta, though Wallace had pulled out of the squad through injury.
Maloney, 33, scored five times for Scotland during their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
"We've changed it a bit and you can see there's a lot of younger players in the squad," said Strachan.
"If they're good enough we'll stick them in, we'll bypass the under-19s, the under-21s."
Scotland face Lithuania at Hampden on 8 October, followed by a trip to Trnava to face Slovakia three days later.
The Scotland boss is adamant the Lithuania match is not a must-win game.
Maloney has featured five times this season for Hull City, though has started just two of the games.
Strachan has also named three left backs in the squad, with Rangers captain Wallace joining Celtic's Kieran Tierney and Hull City's Andrew Robertson.
"He (Maloney) has been used as a substitute quite a lot with Hull, played last week against Stoke, had a terrific game," said Strachan.
"Professionalism, ability, intellect, willingness to play for Scotland, so he's got all these traits that we want here."
He added: "We've got to look at the two games and what we want to try and do. I think the partnership between him (Wallace) and Barrie (McKay) over the last 18 months has been terrific, and cemented by doing the same thing in the Premiership.
"I think their partnership has been excellent. He gives us height, strength, and a bit of experience as well."
Strachan urged his young players to seek first team football in order to push for a place in the squad, saying he "can't be bothered" going to watch potential call-ups play in youth games.
He pointed to Oliver Burke who has moved to the German Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, but said the move will only be a good one if he plays regularly in the first team.
"I think they'll look after him well, there's a good coach there, it's a good league to be in, and he's quite willing to go out there and take the challenge," said the Scotland boss.
"The most important thing between 19 and 21 is to make sure you get loads of games, that's what I'm hoping for. I want to see players playing first team football.
"I think only Allan Hutton you could say bucks the trend when he wasn't playing for Aston Villa, but played for us and he was terrific. But generally over the last 18 months I've been looking at players who have not been in the team."
Goalkeepers: Craig Gordon (Celtic), Jack Hamilton (Hearts), David Marshall (Hull City).
Defenders: Christophe Berra (Ipswich Town), Gordon Greer (Blackburn Rovers), Grant Hanley (Newcastle United), Alan Hutton (Aston Villa), Russell Martin (Norwich City), Callum Paterson (Hearts), Andrew Robertson (Hull City), Kieran Tierney (Celtic), Lee Wallace (Rangers).
Midfielders: Ikechi Anya (Derby County), Barry Bannan (Sheffield Wednesday), Oliver Burke (RB Leipzig), Darren Fletcher (West Bromwich Albion), James Forrest (Celtic), James McArthur (Crystal Palace), John McGinn (Hibs), Barrie Mckay (Rangers), Shaun Maloney (Hull City), James Morrison (West Bromwich Albion), Matt Ritchie (Newcastle United), Robert Snodgrass (Hull City).
Forwards: Steven Fletcher (Sheffield Wednesday), Leigh Griffiths (Celtic), Chris Martin (Derby County), Steven Naismith (Norwich City).
West Dunbartonshire Council is to invest more than £15m in preparing John Brown's shipyard for development.
The investment will unlock plans for more than 1,000 new homes, a retail unit, a hotel, a care home, a health centre and a new boulevard.
The shipyard was famous for building the QE2 and Queen Mary.
It closed 30 years ago and the majority of the site - now known as Queens Quay - has been derelict for decades.
The site was bought by private firm Clydeside Regeneration in 2004 but the owners were unable to attract the investment to fund necessary infrastructure works.
Under a new agreement, the council will fund the repair of quay walls and create a new road layout.
In return the council will recoup its investment from a share of any future land sales at the site.
The local authority said the deal would pave the way for more than £250m worth of private investment.
The works are expected to start early next year, with completion scheduled for early 2018.
West Dunbartonshire Council leader Martin Rooney said: "For too long our once proud shipyard has been a derelict site at the heart of Clydebank, but that is all about to change." | New rules for moving livestock will be "disastrous" for small agricultural shows, the Farmers Union of Wales said.

French, who played the Rev Geraldine Granger, said she would have preferred the part of dim-witted verger Alice.
"I thought, 'How on earth do you play a central character who's so blooming good?'" she told BBC Radio 4.
The Vicar of Dibley's final episode, broadcast on New Year's Day 2007, was watched by 12.8 million people.
The episode marked the end of a 13-year run, which gave French her biggest success outside her comedy partnership with Jennifer Saunders.
Written by Richard Curtis, the award-winning comedy was based around a female vicar living in a rural Oxfordshire village.
But French told Desert Island Discs she had initially been dismissive of the main character.
"I thought 'Where are the flaws? Where is the monster in this woman?' That's what I understand comedy to be.
"Alice was a very funny character from the off. But anyway, he [Curtis] wouldn't let me play it."
The role was taken by Emma Chambers instead.
Despite French's reservations, the award-winning sitcom attracted guest stars including Johnny Depp and Kylie Minogue, and was remade in countries as far-flung as Kazakhstan.
But not everyone was a fan. The Bishop of Norwich, Graham James, an adviser on religious matters to the BBC, was unhappy with the Christmas episode in 2005.
"The jokes about Jesus were in pretty poor taste and the drunken performances at midnight mass lost touch with reality," he told The Guardian.
French's Desert Island Discs interview with Kirsty Young will be broadcast on Sunday 23 December.
She also spoke on the programme about the end of her marriage to fellow comedian Lenny Henry.
"Those last few months were pretty much like the first few months; we were good friends," she said.

The Health and Safety Executive statistics showed there were 40 cases in 2014 with eight in the N postcode.
Labour London Assembly Member Murad Qureshi claimed it was a result of poor maintenance and it was "fortunate" it had not resulted in a fatality.
But UK Power Networks said it "worked tirelessly" to maintain and invest in London's network.
Why pavements explode
Blasts and fires can be caused by electrical faults, often when water has leaked through to exposed cables.
They can also be caused by gas leaks ignited by sparks underground - or gas coming into contact with faulty cables.
The statistics, retrieved by Mr Qureshi through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, specified incidents involving link boxes or cable pits - underground connections and the access chamber - which required the fire service.
Mr Qureshi said: "I think we're very fortunate that the incidents... haven't actually resulted in any fatalities of any sort.
"They're making good money out of running the network. It's time UK Power Networks did everything possible to crack down on this potentially life-threatening problem."
The HSE said the increase may be down to water getting into the wiring due to wet weather .
UK Power Networks said: "Although such incidents are extremely rare, we do everything in our power to mitigate the risk."
It said it was set to invest about £1.5bn over the next seven years in London's network.
The body of Bernadette Fox, 57, was found in Bootle, Merseyside in April 2015, the day after Sarah Fox, 27, was found at a different property.
Peter Fox, 27, will serve a minimum of 12 years and seven months and will be detained at Ashworth Hospital until deemed fit to be transferred to prison.
Passing sentence, Judge David Aubrey said Fox was "extremely dangerous".
The court heard Fox thought he was being abused by his mother and sister but in reality the judge said both had showed him tolerance and kindness.
A victim impact statement prepared on behalf of the family said: "It is absolutely unbelievable that we all find ourselves in this horrendous situation.
"Never in a million years could any of us have foreseen such an awful act would happen in our family.
"Our lives have been ripped apart and we have lost two beautiful people at the hands of someone who should have protected them, yet their own flesh and blood did the opposite.
"Peter's decision to take the lives of his own mum and sister - with no regard for the effects it may have on others - is unimaginable."
Fox, who was arrested at London's Euston Station three days after his mother's body was discovered, was initially charged with murder but in April this was changed and the prosecution accepted his plea of guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Post-mortem examinations found Ms Fox died from asphyxiation and her daughter from multiple stab wounds.
Det Chief Insp Dave Rooney, of Merseyside Police, said: "There is no doubt that Peter Fox was mentally ill at the time he took the lives of his mother and sister.
"However, we will never be able to comprehend why he undertook the course of action he did, and it must be remembered that a family is still trying to come to terms with the tragic and untimely loss of their loved ones."
The woman's bones, including a skull and teeth, were discovered at Achavanich in Caithness in 1987.
Unusually, she was buried in a pit dug into solid rock and her skull is an abnormal shape which some suggest was done deliberately using bindings.
Maya Hoole believes advances in technology could reveal more about the remains known as "Ava".
Since the discovery and archaeological dig almost 30 years ago, plans of the site that were drawn by local authority archaeologists have been lost. Ms Hoole believes Ava's story has become largely forgotten.
The archaeologist has set up a website dedicated to new research on the bones, a decorated beaker buried with the woman and the Middle Bronze Age burial site, which lies close to the A9 between Latheron and Thurso.
Tests already done on the remains suggest the woman was aged 18 to 22 when she died.
She was buried in an unmarked rock-cut pit rather than underneath a cairn or in a pit dug into soil, which are the most commonly discovered burial sites from the Bronze Age.
Ms Hoole said she was only aware of a handful of other pits dug into solid rock that have been found in Scotland.
She said: "A lot of time and energy was invested in this burial.
"It just makes you wonder - why go to all that effort? What was so unique about the individual buried here to receive such special treatment?"
The decoration on the beaker found with Ava appears to be unique, the archaeologist said.
She said: "I've looked far and wide for comparable examples, but there's nothing else out there quite like it, again making this burial significant.
"I have closely examined the beaker decoration and discovered that at least three different tools were used to create the design, likely meaning that the artist had a specially-made tool kit and was prepared and likely experienced."
Ms Hoole added: "Like many others, I'm sure, I find skeletal remains completely mesmerising.
"The evidence shows that this was a young female, aged between 18 and 22, but we have no evidence of cause of death.
Since she was discovered in the 1980s we have made great advances in technology and it makes you wonder what we could still learn from her. I've been working on recreating the lost site plans, and interpreting the position this individual was buried in.
"My interpretation suggests that the layout of the burial fits into a much wider trend extending as far south as North Yorkshire, and possibly much further beyond."
What is known about Ava is that she was part of a much wider European group known as the Beaker people.
Short and round skull shapes were common amongst this group, but Ms Hoole said the Achavanich specimen is exaggerated and of an abnormal, uneven shape.
The archaeologist said: "There has been much debate amongst the archaeological community for many decades about the shape. Some argue it is a hereditary trait, whilst others think there may have been a practice of head-binding which creates the distinct shape.
"Perhaps this site can contribute more to the debate if further research is undertaken."
She added: "She has been fondly nicknamed 'Ava', an abbreviation of the place she was found.
"Although potentially a controversial decision, I want people to remember that this is not just a cluster of bones, but that she was once a human being, with a name, an identity and a place in a long lost community."
The figure was calculated by how much an individual is paid per hour, so takes account of part-time workers.
The DfE is the first government department to publish the difference between the pay of men and women.
The national gap is 18.1%, but the DfE uses a different methodology so cannot be compared directly to the Office for National Statistics figure.
Education Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities Justine Greening said her department was setting an example on promoting gender equality.
The DfE reported a mean pay gap - the difference between average salaries for men and women - of 5.3% and a median pay gap of 5.9%.
Pay gap data will be published by all government departments and large private companies by April 2018.
The ONS national gender pay gap for full and part-time workers is the lowest since records began in 1997.
Ms Greening said: "I'm proud that the DfE has taken an important step in reporting its gender pay gap, setting an example to other employers as we build a stronger economy where success is defined by talent, not gender or circumstance.
"The UK's gender pay gap is at a record low, but we are committed to closing it.
"As one of the UK's largest employers, the public sector has a vital role to play in leading the way to tackle the gender pay gap which is why the DfE's step to publish our gender pay gap matters."
The department says it has introduced a range of initiatives to support women in the workplace, such as supporting women returning to work, monitoring pay and helping women progress in their careers.
Mrs Deane was a full-time 41-year-old mum back in 2008 when she found out that her then eight-year-old daughter was being bullied at school.
She and her husband were immediately determined to move Emily, and brother Max, then six, to another nearby state school as soon as possible, but found that there were no spaces.
So instead they decided they had no choice but to send their son and daughter to a private school instead.
In order to pay the fees, Mrs Deane decided to set up her own business, which she would run from the family home on the outskirts of Cambridge, in East Anglia.
So an accountant by trade and former profession, she sat down and thought about what she could do.
"I'm a very logical, nerdy person, so I took myself to the computer... and made a list of 10 things that I could do to meet the school fees," she says.
Mrs Deane ranked all of her ideas according to their potential for growth, their start-up funding requirements, and how quickly they would make money.
The winning idea was to set up a business making satchels - old-fashioned, leather school bags.
Mrs Deane was reading the Harry Potter books to her children at the time, and she wanted to buy them both the satchels she imagined that the young wizard and his friends took to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
But she said she soon found out that such satchels were actually very difficult to buy - she couldn't find anyone who made or sold them.
Realising that she could fill this gap, in 2008 Mrs Deane launched the Cambridge Satchel Company from her kitchen table, with just £600 of savings.
Today the company sells satchels and other products in more than 100 countries.
The company makes all of its bags in the UK.
Its satchels are owned by celebrities such as US singer Taylor Swift and UK presenter Fearne Cotton. And it has an annual turnover of more than £13m.
Back when Mrs Deane launched the business, she decided that she would - at least to begin with - outsource the manufacturing of her designs.
Continuing her research, she finally found a small UK school supplier who sold a small range of satchels.
She asked him for the name of his manufacturer. "But of course he wouldn't tell me," she says.
So Mrs Deane used a healthy dose of ingenuity, and repetition, to get her answer.
"I phoned him every 35 minutes, asking him another question, driving him insane," she laughs.
"He just, in the end, snapped. He gave me the name of his manufacturer."
Getting the first batch of satchels made by the Leicester-based outsourcer, Mrs Deane says she read books on guerrilla marketing, and started to regularly email fashion editors and bloggers.
Orders soon started to flood in, creating challengers for the young business, which was still based in Mrs Deane's kitchen.
"After about a year, little over a year, my house was so filled with boxes, absolutely filled with boxes."
Mrs Deane realised that she desperately needed extra storage space, but being "very risk adverse", she says she didn't want "to leap into a business premises".
Instead she decided to buy a shed which she would put in the back garden, where she could keep boxes of satchels.
"I remember going to a garden centre close to Cambridge, and looking at these sheds.
"And my phone was pinging. And it was pinging, and it was pinging constantly."
Mrs Deane assumed that the pings indicated a problem with her homemade website, but when she got home she found that it was filled with hundreds of orders.
"I was just gaping at it," she says. "I absolutely couldn't believe it. And it turns out it was because the Guardian [newspaper] had put one of our red 14-inch satchels in the November Christmas gift guide.
"And I thought, 'my gosh, this is what a real business looks like, this is incredible'."
She decided she needed a bigger storage facility than a shed.
From the very beginning the company was very much a family affair, with Mrs Deane's mother, Freda Thomas, being an integral part of the business. As, in fact, she still is today.
Mrs Deane's children have also helped out.
Back in the company's chaotic early days, when it had thousands of satchels on back order, as positive publicity fuelled orders more quickly than the company could fill them, daughter Emily helped send out emails to assure people that they bags would be on their way.
But if struggling to meet orders was the business' first problem, a much bigger issue arose back in 2012 when Mrs Deane took legal action against what she saw as a copycat producer. The dispute was eventually settled out of court, with the Cambridge Satchel Company being paid an undisclosed sum.
Since 2011 Mrs Deane's business has its own production facility, based in the the Leicestershire town of Wigston. And its range of products has expanded beyond satchels to include backpacks, wallets, and even mobile phone cases. The satchels themselves range in price from £55 to £285, depending upon the size and the leather quality.
Meanwhile, the head office has moved from the kitchen table to a business park in Cambridge, and the company employs more than 100 people.
In addition to global sales via its website, the firm's products are sold at third party stores around the world, including Harrods and John Lewis in the UK, and Bloomingdale's in the US.
The business also now has four of its own brick and mortar shops in the UK.
Until last year, Mrs Deane had expanded the business without any outside investment, but in January 2014 she secured £14m from global private investment firm Index Ventures, to help fund the Cambridge Satchel Company's continuing overseas expansion.
Mrs Deane says: "It has been a heck of a journey, a heck of a journey."
He died in New York City on Monday from complications arising from rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and pneumonia.
"Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us," his family and fellow band members said.
The Eagles were one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, with multiple hit singles, including Hotel California in 1976.
Frey co-founded the Eagles in 1971 with Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner.
He co-wrote Hotel California with Henley and Don Felder, and composed a number of the band's biggest songs on his own, including Heartache Tonight and Lyin' Eyes.
The Eagles notched up more than 150 million album sales worldwide, with Hotel California and their greatest hits among the best selling in history.
Tributes have been paid on social media, with country star Tim McGraw writing: "His music was personally inspirational, his impact immeasurable, his legacy timeless. #glennfrey #heartachetonight"
Paul Stanley from Kiss added: "SHOCKED to report the death of GLENN FREY. Eagle & brilliant songwriter."
Singer Ryan Adams wrote: "RIP, Glenn Frey. Travel to the stars safely, bro", while Huey Lewis called him " a really good guy. Talented, funny, cynical and sweet".
The Eagles were one of the great forces of 1970s rock. They may not have had the dynamics of Led Zeppelin or the drama of Fleetwood Mac, but they dominated the airwaves. AM radio would play the hits, filled with flawless harmonies, while FM stations would spin the longer, unedited album cuts.
Frey emerged as one of the band's chief songwriters, the Lennon to Don Henley's McCartney. He penned their breakout hit Take It Easy - a song as laid back as its title suggests - with Jackson Browne. But later singles, including Take It To The Limit and Hotel California, were group efforts, while the two front men would share vocal duties - Frey's supple tones a perfect counterpoint to Henley's rasp.
In the US, they scored five number one singles and four number one albums; while their greatest hits sold 30 million copies.
"It boggles the mind somewhat," Frey told Rolling Stone in 2012. "But as long as I keep taking out the garbage and cleaning up after the dogs and taking the kids to school, I'll have perspective."
Nonetheless, success took its toll on the band. Frey used to describe their break-up in two words - "Hotel California" - explaining that the pressure of following up that record tore the band apart.
In 1980, Henley famously said the Eagles would reform "when hell freezes over". Fourteen years later, that became the title of the band's comeback album, as the old friends made amends.
"He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction," Henley said in a statement.
"But, the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved."
After the Eagles' acrimonious split in 1980, Frey enjoyed success as a solo artist, most notably with The Heat is On, recorded for the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop.
The band reunited in 1994 and became a hugely popular touring act.
A guard of honour was formed as the body, thought to be that of John Shaw, 61, was taken away at about 06:30 BST.
Mr Shaw, from Rotherham, was one of four killed during a partial collapse at the Didcot A plant.
Members of the emergency services, and representatives of site owners RWE and contractors Coleman and Company, were in the guard of honour.
The removal of debris from the site has been halted since the body was found on Friday and now it has been recovered, police say the "disaster victim identification process will commence".
"The person has not yet been formally identified and this will be a matter for the coroner, although it is believed to be John Shaw," a Thames Valley Police spokesman said on Friday.
"Our thoughts remain with the families and friends of all four men and we would ask that their privacy is respected during this incredibly difficult time."
It's 200 days since John Shaw last walked into the old boiler house here at Didcot.
As dawn broke this morning, more than a dozen workers from the emergency services stood in silence as his body was driven out.
It was shortly before 06:30 when the white security gates slowly opened and a silver private ambulance emerged.
Heads were bowed as a mark of respect and the ambulance will now take the body of John Shaw to the mortuary at the JR Hospital in Oxford.
It follows the discovery of the bodies of Ken Cresswell, 57, on Wednesday, and Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, last week.
The three men have been missing ever since the partial collapse of the structure in February when it was due for demolition.
A fourth man, Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, died from multiple injuries. His death was confirmed shortly after a major incident was declared at the site.
The remaining section was brought down using explosives in July.
The Ministry of Defence said replacing Trident with four new submarines would cost about £20bn at 2006 prices, which is about £25bn at current prices, but you may have seen much higher numbers circulating.
The SNP uses the figure of £100bn, which comes from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).
That figure includes the cost of maintaining the system, which is put at between 5% and 6% of the UK defence budget, which in turn is between £1.7bn and £2.1bn a year.
If you multiply that up over an estimated 30-year life of the system, that comes to between £51bn and £62bn (although the current system is likely to be used for closer to 40 years).
The CND also makes an estimate of £13bn for decommissioning and you can see how it gets to £100bn.
These are not precise figures, for two reasons. The first is that anything that tries to predict costs over a 30-year period includes a great deal of uncertainty.
The second is that the MoD does not have a great record of predicting the costs of projects. Margaret Hodge, who chairs the Commons Public Accounts Committee, pointed out in 2013 that "between 2000 and 2012 the cost of its 69 largest projects ballooned by £11bn. Independent analysis in 2009 found that final project costs were typically 40% higher than the ministry's initial forecasts."
A review has suggested cutting the number of missiles and warheads carried by each submarine to save money, although it is an amount within the range of uncertainty surrounding these figures. The Liberal Democrats have suggested reducing the number of submarines from four to three, which they say would save £4bn a year.

Erickson Jacob, 44, of Henley-on-Thames was sentenced on Tuesday after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault and one of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Jacob was acquitted of one count of sexually assaulting a child under 13 by the jury at Oxford Crown Court.
Det Con Sophie Holliss said the victims showed "bravery" in the case.
The 44-year-old was also issued with a sexual harm prevention order and placed on the sex offenders register.
The so-called Brexit "could result in issues around freedom of movement in border areas," according to members of the Irish parliament.
It has called on London and Dublin to negotiate "a special position" for Northern Ireland, protecting north-south relations.
The UK government is committed to an in-out referendum by the end of 2017.
A report for the Oireachtas joint committee on European Union affairs recommends that the two governments "replace any lost EU funding for cross-border community initiatives".
Previously, a report for the Northern Ireland Assembly said any exit could cost the local economy £1bn.
The issue has divided Northern Ireland parties.
The two main unionist parties back a referendum based on a renegotiated deal.
The other three executive parties do not want change.
The report said the Republic of Ireland and the UK trade over 1bn euros-worth of goods and services every week and 25% of Northern Ireland's trade is with Ireland.
"The prospect of the UK leaving the EU is a very real one and the report emphasises the importance of Ireland being engaged on this issue from the very beginning," said committee chair Dominic Hannigan.
"The report concludes that that an EU without the UK weakens Ireland and Europe."
Cardiff posted a loss of nearly £9.5m in their latest accounts and next season will enter their final year of parachute payments from the Premier League after relegation in 2014.
Warnock said his transfer budget is not affected by that loss of revenue, but ruled out paying big wages.
"We've got to get value for money now," he said.
"That's why I've got to do my sums correctly to bring the players in, even players that I might pay money for has got to be in a responsible way.
"In the past couple of years it looks to me like there's not been a lot of thought gone into quite a few [players] on the financial side.
"I think we've overpaid really on a lot when I look at the structure at the minute and we've got to just bring that down a little bit.
"We've got to handle it better and get more value for money. I think the gravy train has finished at Cardiff now or it will do while I'm here."
Since the club's one season in the Premier League in 2013-14, several big name players left the club under previous manager Russell Slade to balance the books.
Warnock, who has won seven promotions so far in his managerial career, wants his squad's structure to be more competitive next season, with no big earners.
"You'll always get players on more than somebody else because your better players will always warrant that," Warnock added.
"But what we've got to make sure is that we've got a squad on similar wages all fighting for the same thing.
"I'm aware at the end of next season that the parachute payments have all gone as well so it's going to be a big 12 months for us really.
"I'd like to think that while I'm here I can put the club back on an even keel really and get value for money.
"I'd like the owners to be happy, the fans to be happy and the players to be happy."
The Cardiff manager has also promised to move on anyone who is underperforming, and will be using their final 10 games of the season to decide players futures.
"We've all got to strive to be better and that's where I come in," he said.
"You don't normally get managers in my situation because you're looking to keep your job and plan ahead whereas I don't look beyond the next 12 months because I can't do at my age.
"That's the challenge. I want to do things yesterday, so if my players want to let me down I haven't got time to hang about for them, they'll be out."
Cardiff host Birmingham on Saturday with a crowd of around 20,000 expected at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Birmingham have won only twice in 15 league games since Gianfranco Zola took charge and the Italian admits his side are not safe from relegation.
The visitors advanced into a surprise lead after just eight minutes, with Gozie Ugwu firing low and hard past Kyle Letheren.
But York responded with goals from Richard Brodie, Yan Klukowski, Jake Wright and Aidan Connolly in the space of 17 first-half minutes.
Brodie equalised a minute after Woking's opener from the edge of the area, his third goal of the season, Klukowski fired in from 30 yards before Wright and Connolly both netted with simple finishes.

Councillors will examine the effect they have on children's eating habits.
A report to the region's education committee will highlight statistics that suggest more than a quarter of children in Dumfries and Galloway are at risk of being overweight or obese.
It estimates a third of pupils consume junk food during school hours.
Local authorities across Scotland are under pressure to increase healthier eating in children as part of guidance called Beyond the School Gate.
It is also aimed at retailers and caterers and what they can do to influence the food environment around schools.
Licensing and planning conditions could be used to encourage healthy options in their vicinity.
There have been increasing uptakes for school meals but there are concerns that competition from shops and street traders who sell food could be damaging that push.
Latest figures from Information Service Division Scotland show 25.3% of Primary 1 pupils in Dumfries and Galloway are at risk of being overweight or obese.
Local survey work around healthy eating in children also highlights that despite an increase in the uptake of school meals, about one third of pupils consume sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks during school time.
Fourteen Scottish local authorities have already placed a condition on traders' licences to restrict their operation in the vicinity of schools.
Do you think we need to do more to encourage school children to eat more healthily? And, if so, how do you think we can do so? Email your views to [email protected] or tweet us @BBCSouthScot.
For Force India, that journey will be just a few minutes as they make the trip across Dadford Road from their factory to Silverstone.
Current champions Red Bull, Lotus, Mercedes, Williams, Caterham, Marussia and McLaren are all within 80 minutes' drive of the circuit in an area nicknamed Motorsport Valley.
But, given the 19 countries and five continents that the sport will visit in 2013, how did eight of the 11 Formula 1 teams come to be located so close together?
Red Bull - Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
McLaren - Woking, Surrey
Mercedes - Brackley, Northamptonshire
Lotus - Enstone, Oxfordshire
Williams - Grove, Oxfordshire
Force India - Silverstone, Northamptonshire
Marussia - Banbury, Oxfordshire
Caterham - Leafield, Oxfordshire

Ferrari - Maranello, Italy
Sauber - Hinwil, Switzerland
Toro Rosso - Faenza, Italy
"It was a combination of factors," Chris Aylett, CEO of the Motorsport Industry Association, told BBC Sport. "When World War II ended, there were many aerospace engineers [based in the area] who were used to building fast, lightweight airplanes to fight the enemy but no avenue for them to use their skills.
"There were also lots of flat airfields [used during the war], such as Silverstone, and not many cars left so the engineers needed to be inventive and started building lightweight cars to race on the airfields which became race tracks.
"That attracted those who wanted to race, and with them came suppliers who set up to fulfil their requirements. And when satellite television arrived in the 1980s and needed to fill airtime, motorsport stepped in and filled the role."
In the late 1960s, a group of British entrepreneurs, including engineer and designer Robin Herd and former FIA president Max Mosley, started March Engineering in North Oxfordshire.
They built cars for a range of championships, including Formula 1, which encouraged the good engineers to stay and attracted aspiring ones to the area.
Soon enough, teams such as Williams, Brabham and McLaren set up shop close by.
"The Mercedes Formula One team is designed to showcase the engineering of a car manufacturer which is often seen as a national champion of Germany. Yet the team itself is based in Brackley, Northamptonshire.
The Force India team carries the national colours of India, and is funded by the Sahara India Pariwar group, yet it is based at a factory next door to the Silverstone grand prix circuit. Marussia is owned by a Russian sportscar maker, but its headquarters are in Banbury.
There is a good reason for this. Although Formula One itself is very much a global sport, its centre of gravity is located firmly in southern England. Eight of the eleven teams competing in the championship are based here.
In fact, a swathe of the West Midlands and Oxfordshire has been nicknamed "Motorsport Valley". It is a centre of engineering expertise that goes well beyond Formula 1.
There are about 4,500 businesses in the UK which owe their existence, at least in part, to motorsport. According to the Motorsport Industry Association, they account for nearly 40,000 jobs.
However, the financial crisis has put the sector under a great deal of pressure, and many motorsport firms have spent the past few years looking for alternative ways to use their expertise, particularly in the aerospace industry."
"The area around Silverstone was a handy place to be," said BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson. "You could go there and do testing and it was well located in terms of major roads and airports, such as the M1 and East Midlands Airport.
"If you were serious about motor racing, you had to be in that area - so teams and suppliers started to move there to form a hub of industry."
With eight teams located within an hour of each other, it also means the best engineers can live in one place. "People can move teams very easily because they don't have to move house and home," added Anderson.
"The downside for the teams, of course, is that while they have access to a wide pool of people, those same people can also be poached. It's tougher for teams like Sauber, who are based in Switzerland, to attract good people because it will involve a massive life change for those involved."
Now almost 3,500 companies associated with motorsport are based in Motorsport Valley, employing around 40,000 people. That represents around 80% of the world's high-performance engineers.
The government has latched onto this fact and continues to supply funding and incentives to encourage individuals and companies to push the boundaries of innovation in an area similar to Silicon Valley or the City of London in terms of development.
In 2008, the government set aside £3.5bn in funding for transport improvements and development of centres of technical excellence.
"The area is encouraging inward investment and encouraging competition because if you want to stay ahead, you've got to welcome the world's best to drive performance," added Aylett.
In terms of Formula 1, the big teams - such as Mercedes and Red Bull - will employ 600-700 people, while the midfield teams like Force India and Sauber will have around 300. That figure drops to around 150 for Banbury-based Marussia.
17 of the 20 races in Formula 1 last season were won by a British-built car. British-based constructors have won 38 constructors' championships since F1 began back in 1950, well clear of Italy (16) and France (1)
The industry continues to grow, with companies in Motorsport Valley producing an estimated turnover of £6bn, of which £3.6bn is exported.
Despite the economic climate, motorsport-based businesses then spend 30% of their turnover on R&D to stay ahead of the competition. That compares to 4% in engineering, 6% in automotive and 15% in pharmaceuticals.
The results are clear to see on the race track with 17 of the 20 races in Formula 1 last season being won by a British-built car. British-based constructors have won 38 constructors' championship since F1 began back in 1950, well clear of Italy (16) and France (1).
If that continues and the suppliers continue to deliver, Motorsport Valley looks set to remain home to much of the F1 fraternity for many years to come.
Connecting Teesside with Yorkshire, the 68 miles (109km) of signposted trail will give walkers access to the coast from Filey Brigg to Middlesbrough, through Scarborough and Whitby.
Natural England said it showcased stunning views.
The government agency is aiming to have England's Coastal Path fully open by 2020.
Work is under way on approximately 60% of the scheme.
Natural England chief executive James Cross said: "We want people to enjoy exploring all of this coast, using a high-quality, well-signposted route."
The newly-opened section follows much of the coastal section of the Cleveland Way national trail.
A stretch has been created near Staithes to bring the trail closer to the headland, while a restored footbridge has enabled a blocked section of the Teesdale Way to reopen.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said it had approved an additional eight-mile (13km) link between Newport Bridge on the Tees and North Gare, near Hartlepool.
It will connect the new 68-mile part with 34 miles (55km) along the Durham coast which is already open.
The tooth, dug up at Blick Mead in Wiltshire, is believed to be evidence of the earliest journey in British history.
It is thought to be from a pet Alsatian-type dog that travelled 250 miles from York with its owner.
Archaeologist David Jacques said it was significant as it was not known people travelled so far 7,000 years ago.
The shape and size show the tooth was from a domestic dog, he said.
It also suggests people were visiting Stonehenge 2,000 years before the monument was built.
"The fact that a dog and a group of people were coming to the area from such a long distance away further underlines just how important the place was four millennia before the circle was built," Mr Jacques said.
"Discoveries like this give us a completely new understanding of the establishment of the ritual landscape and make Stonehenge even more special than we thought we knew it was."

Bones found near the tooth suggest the dog would have feasted on salmon, trout, pike, wild pig and red deer.
Researchers at Durham University used carbon dating to discover the age of the tooth and isotope analysis on the enamel.
Mr Jacques, a senior research fellow at the University of Buckingham, said: "We know it was probably born in the area of York.
"It was drinking from the area when it was young, it went on a journey of about 250 miles to the Stonehenge area with people and it ate what the people were eating on this site at Blick Mead.
"You would not get a wolf travelling 250 miles but you're much more likely to get a dog doing that because it's travelling with its people."
Previous excavations have uncovered tools from Wales and the Midlands and evidence people lived near Stonehenge for long periods of time, near the natural springs used hollowed out tree trunks for shelter.
He will continue as taoiseach (PM) until parliament chooses a successor.
The 66-year-old, who was elected taoiseach in 2011, tendered his resignation in March, but has been acting prime minister since then.
He told a parliamentary party meeting on Wednesday that a successor would be appointed by 2 June; the leadership contest will begin later, with nominations closing on Saturday.
After an electoral college of the parliamentary party, county councillors and party members have their say, Ireland's Dail parliament will vote in the new leader as taoiseach later in June,
The two favourites are Leo Varadkar, who is the son of an Indian immigrant, and Simon Coveney, whose father was also a government minister.
Mr Kenny announced his departure at a brief parliamentary party meeting where some supporters were said to have been visibly upset.
The veteran politician, from Castlebar, County Mayo, had been under pressure to resign from factions within his own party that were dissatisfied with his leadership.
In a statement announcing his retirement, Mr Kenny said it had been a "huge honour and privilege" to steer the party over the course of 15 years.
He would "continue to carry out my duties and responsibilities as taoiseach" until his replacement took over, he added.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May said Mr Kenny had been a "strong and consistent friend" to her country.
"I want to thank him for all he has done to maintain the unique and close spirit of co-operation between our two nations, which has gone from strength to strength during his time as taoiseach," added Mrs May.
Her predecessor David Cameron said Mr Kenny "was a strong leader for Ireland, a great partner for the UK, and remains a good friend".
Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams said Mr Kenny "did his best from his perspective" but his "political legacy is dominated by crisis, chaos, and chronic lack of accountability".
Among Mr Kenny's final official overseas engagements will be a two-day trade mission to Chicago and the centenary commemoration of the start of the World War One Battle of Messines, both in the first week of June.
The woman had been snorkelling off the north-western resort of Cabo San Lucas.
The exact circumstances of the incident are unclear. Firefighters say the whale jumped up and landed on the boat, throwing the victim into the water.
But the tour company said the woman was injured when the captain had to make a sudden turn to avoid the surfacing whale, which hit one side of the boat.
She later died in hospital. Two other people were also injured.
Local media said the unnamed woman, believed to be 35 years old, was on a boat with 23 other people when the accident happened.
The vessel was returning from taking tourists on a snorkelling trip.
Boating accidents involving whales are relatively rare - although two years ago a US sail boat sank off western Mexico after a breaching whale fell onto it.
In July a sightseeing boat was overturned by a whale off the coast of California.
On Wednesday, Mexican authorities said more than 2,500 grey whales had gathered in the area, one of the highest numbers in the past two decades.
The lagoons and bays off Baja California Sur are popular with pregnant females who bear their calves here.
Grey whales can reach a length of almost 15m (50ft) and a weight of 36 tonnes.
Overall retail sales grew by 1.3% last month compared with March, according to the US Commerce Department - the strongest gain since March 2015.
Car sales climbed by 3.2%, a sharp reversal from the 3.2% fall recorded in the previous month.
March's total retail sales were better than previously reported, falling by 0.3% not 0.4%.
When cars, petrol, building materials and food services are stripped out "core retail sales" rose by 0.9% in April. Analysts had forecast a 0.3% gain.
"The numbers came in much stronger than we expected," said Peter Cardillo chief market economist at First Standard Financial.
"That will help alleviate the market's concerns over retail. The number also puts the rate hike back on the table," he added.
Sales grew in most retail sectors, except building materials and garden equipment.
Non-store retailers, which include online and catalogue businesses, were up 2.1%, clothing rose 1% and even the troubled department store sector edged up by 0.3%.
This slight improvement comes at the end of a week in which four department stores have published disappointing results.
Macy's, Kohl's, Nordstrom and J C Penney have all reported a fall in sales.
Like for like sales at J C Penny fell 0.4% in the first quarter of its financial year up to 30 April.
US department stores have lost out as shoppers have spent on more expensive items including electronics, household goods and cars.
According to Neil Saunders, chief executive of Conlumino retail growth is slowing, amid a "darkening" economic outlook. However he says the slowdown is not dramatic and it does not affect all sectors equally.
"Consumers are now more cautious about spending than they were at the start of the year. This is something not helped by the increase in the cost of gas which, although still lower than last year, has risen consistently for the past few months. Gas now takes a larger share of retail spend than at any time in the past 6 months," he said.
"Ultimately, this means that while Americans are still spending they are doing so more selectively: choosing which products to buy and which retailers to visit and paying much more attention to things like price and value for money.
"This week we have heard from those retailers which have lost out because their strategies, positioning, or appeal is wrong. While their fortunes reflect a more negative mood, they are not necessarily representative of retail as a whole."
Ministers say there will be a "national approach" to forensic science in criminal cases in England and Wales.
The Forensic Science Service, a government-owned company, was shut down in 2012, after the government said it lost £2m each month.
But in 2015, the National Audit Office warned standards were slipping.
It said forensic science provision was under threat because police were increasingly relying on unregulated experts to examine samples from suspects and crime scenes.
The spending watchdog's report came after work was transferred to in-house police labs and private firms.
Senior politicians, scientists and lawyers had warned in 2012 that closing the forensic science archive would cause miscarriages of justice and stop police solving crimes, as police forces had to create individual storage systems.
In its plan, the Home Office acknowledged forensic science provision had become fragmented.
Digital analysis of computers and smart-phones was being conducted in an "ad hoc manner" which did not provide value for money, it said.
Ministers said they were supporting a police review of whether there should be a "joint Forensic and Biometric Service" to achieve economies of scale, increased capability and resilience.
The youth work charity received the money against the advice of officials, who had raised concerns about how it would be spent.
Local authorities have been making plans to support young people who would need help if Kids Company closes.
Kids Company said closure speculation was "dangerous and irresponsible".
The Cabinet Office said it would not comment on whether the charity would close.
The news that the charity might have to close comes as the result of a joint investigation by BBC Newsnight and BuzzFeed News.
Last month, their investigations revealed that the £3m grant from the Cabinet Office would only be paid on the condition that Camila Batmanghelidjh, its high-profile chief executive, agreed to step down as part of a reorganisation. The government finally released the money last week after she said she would do so.
The Cabinet Office's £3m grant had been intended for a "transformation and downsizing plan" that would support the charity as it reformed itself.
That department is currently making plans to recover the grant because the Cabinet Office believes that the conditions attached to the use of the money were not met.
According to an email cache passed anonymously to Newsnight and BuzzFeed News over the weekend, the charity appears to have used some of the cash to pay staff - a day-to-day cost for which officials say it was not intended, and which should have been met by private donations.
The charity, which relies heavily on public funding, supports deprived young people with counselling services, education, hot meals and housing provisions.
Ms Batmanghelidjh wrote to staff last Tuesday saying: "I am so sorry you have not been paid yet. We are waiting for exchanges between the government and the philanthropists and trustees to be completed."
On Wednesday, she wrote: "Everything has been agreed, we are going ahead with payroll. It will be done tomorrow as soon as the money hits our account.
"Thank you for your patience. You have been amazing and I am so sorry that the machinery of Whitehall was slower than we would have liked."
On Thursday, when the Cabinet Office grant had been cleared into the charity's bank account, she wrote: "I just want to let you know that we have just received our funding from the government and are processing payroll right now."
The charity said: "Kids Company's July payroll was two days later than usual whilst we waited for a grant from the Cabinet Office to arrive."
According to one official familiar with the matter, £800,000 was paid out immediately to staff.
Officials are now working out how much of the grant they will be able to recover.
Kids Company said it was "grateful for the ongoing support of the Cabinet Office that recognises the need for our work supporting some of society's most vulnerable children and young people". It is not clear what conditions the charity understood were attached to the grant.
On Tuesday afternoon government officials, charities and local authorities were briefed on the likely impact of of the charity closing its services.
The decision to make the £3m grant was controversial. The Cabinet Office's lead official, Richard Heaton, wrote to ministers on 26 June asking for a "ministerial direction" before making the payment.
The permanent secretary logged his view that he thought the grant would be poor value for money. He sought written confirmation that they wanted him to go ahead with a grant regardless.
Mr Heaton said: "It is... my judgement that the proposed additional £3m grant does not represent value for money, in terms of delivering the outcomes for which the department is funded by parliament."
Ministerial directions are relatively rare; only three were requested in the past parliament across government.
In their reply, Matthew Hancock and Oliver Letwin, Cabinet Office ministers, said he should press ahead and that they took confidence "from the changes that Kids Company has undertaken to make in terms of its leadership, management and governance, which we judge do give it a realistic prospect of long-term viability so it can continue to deliver for vulnerable young people".
This is not the first occasion on which Mr Letwin had intervened to secure funding for the charity.
During the last Parliament, he and Steve Hilton, the prime minister's one-time adviser, supported the charity's call for funds within Whitehall in 2011.
Officials in the Department for Education report that Downing Street was in favour of funding the charity. Michael Gove, then education secretary, and Tim Loughton, then children's minister, opposed giving grants to the charity.
Last week, the police opened an investigation into serious allegations of incidents involving young people who use the charity that were not passed on to the police. The charity says it always meets its obligations to report crimes.

A statement from its board blamed "the challenges of securing new funding and dealing with cash-flow in a very difficult climate for our sector".
The charity ran the Where is My Public Servant? (WIMPS) project and also worked extensively with young people in sectarian interface areas.
It had won a number of awards for its work.
In 2012, the organisation became the first in Northern Ireland to receive a Big Society Award from the Prime Minister David Cameron.
It also took local young people abroad to South Africa, the USA and the Middle East.
The board's statement went on to say that "as we refuse to problematise and label young people, we often find that our work doesn't fit the boxes of funders and government departments.
"We urge the Northern Ireland Executive to consider more deeply the conditions of the lives of so many young people here.
"We have the highest youth unemployment in the UK (over 20%) and yet young people are our greatest asset."
The statement continued: "The stop-start nature of funding for our sector and the frequent gaps between funding programmes have been major contributors to the situation that has led to this regretful and very difficult decision."

Media playback is not supported on this device
Astley is a Manchester United fan and says he did not really have any choice in the matter. "I did not even have to think about it," he explained. "I always supported United because my older brothers do."
He only began watching United regularly in the late 1990s when he took a break in his music career and his first visit to Old Trafford in 1998 saw the Red Devils beaten 1-0 by Arsenal, who are back in Manchester on Saturday.
Astley told BBC Sport: "United are so exciting as a team going forward but, like every team, there are certain days when it doesn't click and when it is like that it is just painful.
"That was just one of those days unfortunately - so I might be a jinx."
He has better memories of another meeting between the two sides a few months later, however, when he saw Ryan Giggs run past what seemed like half the Arsenal team to score his favourite United goal in a famous FA Cup tie.

"It is an obvious one to choose as my favourite but I was watching the game in a bar at the Val d'Isere ski resort in France," Astley said.
"The bar has a very low roof and the amount of people who banged their heads when Giggs scored was unbelievable - it just kicked off big time.
"It was weird because obviously the Arsenal fans were gutted but you could see in some of their faces that even they could appreciate it. It is just a ridiculous goal, almost as if someone wrote it down and said 'there you go, just go and do that'."
You can make your own predictions now, compare them with those of Lawro and other fans, and try to take your team to the top of the leaderboard by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
In the last round of games before the international break, Lawro got four correct results, including one perfect score, from 10 Premier League matches. That gave him a total of 70 points.
He was beaten by former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, who got five correct results, with one perfect score, for a total of 80 points.

Tottenham v West Ham (17:30 GMT)
The contract situation at Tottenham concerning Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris is a really interesting one. How Spurs deal with that problem, and whether they match their wage demands or not, will be a sign of the club's ambition.
As for the game, Kane's fitness will have benefitted from being allowed to leave the England camp early. He should start, like he did against Arsenal before the international break, and he should be a bit sharper now.
Spurs have drawn their past four league games but I fancy them to win here. West Ham will have to wait to pull clear of the relegation zone.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Rick's prediction: 2-1
Match preview
Middlesbrough v Chelsea (16:00 GMT)
I am on Match of the Day 2 for this game on Sunday.
Chelsea's impressive form continued against Everton last time out and, although Middlesbrough are on a decent run of results, I do not see them stopping the Blues from making it six league wins in a row.
Like Liverpool, Chelsea do not have European football to worry about, and seem to be building up a head of steam.
The battle at the top is great for the Premier League. It looks like the top five teams might pull clear and Manchester United have got a lot of work to do if they want to stay in touch.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Rick's prediction: 0-3
Match preview
West Brom v Burnley (20:00 GMT)
These teams have a few things in common - they are both in mid-table and managed by two very good British managers who know exactly what they are doing.
I am going with Tony Pulis's West Brom to win on Monday, though. Sean Dyche's Burnley side got a point at Old Trafford at the end of October but that is their only point on the road so far this season.
The Clarets do not have much of a goal threat away from home and I do not see the Baggies giving them many opportunities in front of goal.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Rick's prediction: 1-1

Harding scored twice with cool finishes from attacks down the left side, added to Caroline Weir's close-range finish to establish a 3-2 half-time lead.
Reading had led 2-1 when Brooke Chaplen's shot squirmed in and Melissa Fletcher drilled in inside the box.
Liverpool sealed it when Laura Coombs tucked in Harding's cut-back.
The Reds are now top outright in WSL 1, having won both of their opening games, while Reading are second with a win and a loss in their two opening games.

Mae disgwyl i "Yr Egin", sy'n cael ei adeiladu gan Brifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant fod yn barod erbyn gwanwyn 2018.
Dywedodd penaethiaid y Brifysgol wrth aelodau seneddol eu bod yn gobeithio y byddai'r adeilad yn llawn maes o law.
Does yr un cwmni ar wahân i S4C wedi arwyddo cytundeb prydles hyd yma.
Dywedodd Is-ganghellor Prifysgol Y Drindod Dewi Sant, Medwin Hughes, ei fod yn gobeithio y byddai Yr Egin yn cyrraedd capasiti o 60% o fewn y ddau fis nesaf, ond cyfaddefodd byddai angen mwy o gwmnïau.
Dywedodd Mr Hughes wrth y Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig: "Mae £3m o'r arian rent sydd wedi'i dalu rhag blaen gan S4C yn helpu gyda llif arian am 2 i 3 blynedd, ond bydd angen iddo fod yn 60% llawn er mwyn i'r cynllun dalu ffordd."
Fel rhan o'r cytundeb gyda'r Brifysgol, bydd S4C hefyd yn talu £60,000 mewn taliadau gwasanaeth blynyddol.
Dywedodd AS Ceidwadol Brycheiniog a Maesyfed, Chris Davies, wrth y pwyllgor bod "arogl o gwmpas" y prosiect a "niwl" yn amgylchynnu y berthynas rhwng y Brifysgol ag S4C, ond gwadu hynny wnaeth Mr Hughes gan ddweud: "Mae hi wedi bod yn neges glir a chyson rhwng S4C a'r Brifysgol.
"Fel gydag unrhyw gytundeb mawr ceir cytundebau cyfrinachedd. Ar y cyfan, mae'r cysylltiad rhwng S4C a'r Brifysgol wedi cael ei gyflwyno mewn modd priodol."
Yn gynharach ym mis Mawrth fe gafodd yr Egin £3m o gyllid gan Llywodraeth Cymru ar ôl i'r Brifysgol sylweddoli na fyddai'r cyllid Ewropeaidd oedd ar gael iddynt yn ddigonol.
Ali Price and Finn Russell return, with Fraser Brown and Gordon Reid on the bench for Gregor Townsend's side.
Connacht also welcome back several internationals, with Tiernan O'Halloran and Kieran Marmion in the backline.
Sean O'Brien, Jake Heenan and John Muldoon return to make up the back row.
Up front, Denis Buckley and Finlay Bealham pack down in the front row with hooker Tom McCartney. Quinn Roux and Andrew Browne make up the second-row partnership.
Ireland Sevens player Josh Rowland starts on the bench after recovering from an ankle injury.
Connacht coach Pat Lam said: "All our games with Glasgow are challenging, particularly in Scotstoun, where we have never won.
"But that chance to create a bit of history just adds to the excitement for us."
Glasgow are sixth in the Pro12 table, one place and seven points ahead of the visitors, who have a game in hand over the Scots.
Warriors' returning internationals should be boosted by a positive Six Nations performance, with Vern Cotter's Scotland having finished fourth in the table following three victories.
Hogg starts at full-back on Saturday and is joined in the back three by Sean Lamont, who lines up on the right wing, with Rory Hughes on the opposite side.
In the centre, Peter Horne captains the side for the second game in a row, alongside Nick Grigg, and Horne's brother George is among the replacements.
The Scotland half-back pairing of Price and Russell are reunited and, in the front-row, Alex Allan and Sila Puafisi pack down either side of All Black Corey Flynn.
Matt Smith will make his home debut starting on the open flank and he is joined by Rob Harley and Adam Ashe in the back-row, with Harley set to make the second highest number of appearances of any player in a Glasgow shirt.
Glasgow coach Townsend said: "It's great to welcome so many of our Test players back into our squad. They formed the majority of a Scotland team that got three wins in the Six Nations.
"It's great to see our players working hard during games, doing work that leads to tries and also scoring tries. It means they're full of confidence and they'll bring that confidence back into our squad.
"The quality of the session goes up when you have a really good group of players training, either in the team or the opposition team. We've missed them.
"We realise that this is the biggest part of our season. It's the time where we usually play well - it'll be tougher for us this year because of the opposition we're playing, but it's a really exciting period.
"Connacht are a side we respect greatly, from their positive approach to the game and also how hard they work for each other."

Theo Walcott's cool fifth-minute finish from Alexis Sanchez's pass put the Gunners in control at the interval - but the second half brought a familiar painful fate for manager Arsene Wenger and his players.
As at Everton on Tuesday, they were overpowered and the credits were rolling once Leroy Sane ran on to David Silva's pass to beat Petr Cech with Arsenal appealing in vain for offside.
Mesut Ozil shrank from the occasion and wandered around aimlessly and ineffectively
City were on a roll and Arsenal were on the rack, the winner coming 19 minutes from time when Raheem Sterling was the beneficiary of Kevin de Bruyne's brilliant pass to arrow a low finish past Cech at his near post.
It bolstered City's title ambitions, although they are still seven points behind leaders Chelsea and completed a damaging double for Arsenal as they now lie nine points behind Antonio Conte's side.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The state prosecutor has described the shooting as "chilling" and warned that the video will "tear at the hearts" of people in Chicago when it is made public on Wednesday.
She set out the state's case against the officer, Jason Van Dyke, and what she has ascertained about his actions that night in 2014.
Mr Van Dyke maintains he feared for his life when he opened fire, because the teenager was armed with a knife.
Here is what prosecutors say happened, in numbers.
McDonald was holding a knife with a three-inch blade when police spotted him and pulled over. Officer Van Dyke was not among the first officers to attend.
The teenager had slashed the tyre on one of the patrol cars and there was a stand-off between him and the officers.
There were no words spoken by McDonald during the incident. He said nothing in response to numerous verbal commands to drop the knife, police said.
The first responding officer said he did not see the need to use force.
But an officer armed with a Taser was requested to attend and deal with the situation but none arrived.
Officer Van Dyke, who arrived in a patrol car with a partner, was at the scene for less than 30 seconds before he started shooting.
He was out of his car for approximately six seconds before he opened fire.
According to police dashcam video, the time was exactly 9:57:36 on the October 2014 night when the officer opened fire.
There were eight officers present but only one fired his or her weapon.
Officer Van Dyke's gun was a nine-millimetre calibre semi-automatic pistol with a capacity of 16 rounds.
Officer Van Dyke shot the teenager 16 times. The 16 fired cartridge cases police recovered at the scene were all from his weapon.
About 14-15 seconds elapsed between the time the first shot was fired and the last. An eyewitness told police he heard a pause after the initial shots, and then more gunfire. The prosecutor says the video shows how McDonald's body jerked and his arm moved slightly.
McDonald was lying on the ground for 13 of these seconds as the shots were fired. Officer Van Dyke was preparing to reload when his partner, who could hear McDonald struggling to breathe, told him to hold his fire.
The prosecutor said the teenager still had a pulse when paramedics arrived but was declared dead at the hospital.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles wants to ease planning restrictions in England for three years to boost the building trade.
But MPs argued that there would be little economic benefit to the plans.
Mr Pickles told MPs he was willing to find a "sensible compromise", as he sought to appease coalition rebels.
The new approach would be set out in the House of Lords when the Growth and Infrastructure Bill returns there next week, Mr Pickles said, after discussions with MPs.
However, he did not give any further details on what the compromise might look like.
Ministers announced last year that they wanted a three-year relaxation of the planning rules to allow single-storey extensions of up to eight metres for detached houses and six metres for other houses to be built without planning consent being required.
The proposal, which is still under consultation, has angered some local authorities and is opposed by Labour.
Mr Pickles said he had listened to the concerns expressed by peers and MPs and said he believed "even at this late hour we can actually establish a broad consensus on these practical reforms".
He added: "I can announce today that in the spirit of consensus, we will bring forward a revised approach on the contentious question of permitted development rights for home extensions when the bill returns to the Lords.
"I believe that this is eminently bridgeable and I would like the opportunity to make that bridge."
He said MPs would get the opportunity to vote on the new plans when the bill comes back to the Commons on 23 April.
The Growth and Infrastructure Bill was amended last month by the House of Lords to stipulate that individual councils should be given the right to opt out of the planning rules changes.
Many Tory and Lib Dem rebels wanted to keep this change in the bill, but the government wanted to reject the amendment and instead to reach a compromise with MPs.
The government won vote by 286 votes to 259, a majority of 27.
But not all MPs were convinced by Mr Pickles promise of a new approach.
Former cabinet minister Cheryl Gillan said she would not believe Mr Pickles until she saw the new plans "in black and white".
Zac Goldsmith, MP for Richmond Park, a vocal critic of the plans, was among 16 Conservative MPs and 10 Liberal Democrats who voted against the government.
He said the government needed to "give greater clarity" about how it plans to reach a compromise.
Conservative rebel, Stewart Jackson said it was "very bad legislation" which "offends against the principle of localism", while fellow Tory rebel Anne Main said it was "potentially going to be extremely divisive in communities".
But another Conservative MP, Heather Wheeler, insisted that the government's plans would create jobs.
She said: "We are desperately short of family-sized houses. This is an opportunity to kick-start local economies."
For Labour, shadow communities and local government secretary Hilary Benn said: "He (Eric Pickles) tries to suggest this is about empowering people, but what he is trying to do is take away the rights of neighbours to object to developments that they think are going to affect their rights and their amenity."
He said the scheme, as it stands, was "centralist" and would not "give the boost to the economy that has been claimed".
"I don't think that the back gardens of England should be made the victims of the failure of the government's economic policy," he added.
The Gobbins - a dramatic cliff face walk in Islandmagee - was damaged by storms Abigail and Frank.
The path was only opened to the public for the first time in over 50 years last year.
A total of £7.5m was spent restoring it to the standard required for public use.
The Gobbins was the brainchild of Irish railway engineer Berkeley Deane Wise.
It first opened in 1902 and quickly became famous as a white knuckle walk.
Carved into black basalt cliffs, it was an engineering triumph, connected by a network of walkways and bridges, the most iconic of which was the tubular bridge.
Duffy scored two own goals and was sent off in injury time as Rovers lost their third straight game of the season.
"I have never seen anything like it. You don't envisage something like that," said Blackburn boss Coyle.
Cardiff manager Paul Trollope added: "I have not seen that before, it was an eventful day for him. I don't think I have ever seen a game like that."
Declan John's 14th-minute shot hit a post and went in off Duffy, before the Republic of Ireland defender headed home Peter Whittingham's free-kick.
It was the 24-year-old's third own goal of the season, having also put through his own net in Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Wigan.
Duffy's miserable night was rounded off when he was sent-off after receiving a second yellow card for kicking a ball at an opponent.
Photos posted on a message board in the last few days have since been taken down.
Users who had accessed the service through third-party apps, and not the official Snapchat app, have had their images intercepted.
The company said its servers "were never breached".
Newsbeat's tech reporter, Jonathan Blake, says they are calling this "the Snappening".
"Its after the so-called Fappening which involved naked celebrity photos," he explained.
We've decided to take a look at exactly what's going on.
Hackers posted Snapchat photos on a message board on Thursday night. They have since been removed.
According to Business Insider reporter James Cook there's a threat more could be posted, with hackers boasting of having access to 13 gigabytes' (GB) worth of pictures.
Its claimed the photos have been intercepted over a number of years.
Not Snapchat, according to Snapchat.
The source of the leak has pointed towards two third-party, unauthorised services that offered the ability to save Snapchat messages permanently.
Its believed that at least one such service was keeping a database of all the pictures and videos that had passed through it.
One report suggests the hacked third-party Snapchat client was Snapsave.
Its a popular Android app.
It allows users to keep Snapchat photos and videos, which of course automatically delete when viewed through the official Snapchat app.
Developer Georgie Casey has denied his app is to blame though.
"Our app had nothing to do with it and we've never logged username and passwords," he told Engadget.
He also denied that Snapsave stores photos online.
Good question.
On Friday, the company said: "Snapchatters were victimised by their use of third-party apps to send and receive Snaps, a practice that we expressly prohibit in our Terms of Use precisely because they compromise our users' security.
"We vigilantly monitor the App Store and Google Play for illegal third-party apps and have succeeded in getting many of these removed."
Like the one involving celebrities and the iCloud? No.
These are said to be pictures of regular users but there are some doubts whether the images are real or fake.
Last month, photos of celebrities were shared on websites Reddit and 4chan after initially being taken from stars' iCloud accounts.
In a word, yes.
In several...
4.6 million usernames and phone numbers were leaked online at the start of the year.
More recently, the service has been suffering from spam messages being sent out from users' accounts without their knowledge.

Romania's Fed Cup captain is currently under investigation for comments he made about Serena Williams' unborn child. Williams accused Nastase of racism after he was heard asking if the child would be "chocolate with milk".
He also insulted British player Johanna Konta and captain Anne Keothavong.
Nastase was told on Wednesday he would not be welcome at Wimbledon.
The 70-year-old former world number one won the French Open in 1973.
A statement on the official Roland Garros Twitter account said that "following his suspension by the ITF, Mr Ilie Nastase won't be accredited" for this year's tournament.
At a news conference on Wednesday, All England Club chairman Philip Brook confirmed Nastase, who reached the Wimbledon final in 1972 and 1976, would not be present.
"His actions were not very good and we condemn them. In terms of an invitation to the Royal Box, he is not going to receive an invitation this year," Brook said.
The International Tennis Federation is investigating Nastase's remarks during April's Fed Cup match, when he also directed an angry outburst towards Konta that left the British number one in tears.
In an interview with the BBC later in April, the Romanian defended his remarks about world number one Williams.
And following the announcement that his invitation to the Royal Box at Wimbledon this year would be blocked, Nastase accused organisers of treating Romanians like "morons".
In the UK, a small number of bees are vital for crops such as oilseed rape, apples and strawberries, according to the University of Reading team.
But protecting a wide range of bees would "provide an insurance policy against future ecological shocks, such as climate change", the scientists say.
The value of wild bee pollination is estimated at £1bn a year in the UK.
Prof Simon Potts, director of the Centre for Agri-Environmental Research at Reading, said: "The few bee species that currently pollinate our crops are unlikely to be the same types we will need in the future.
"It is critical to protect a wide range of bees and other insects now so that, as Britain's climate, environment and crop varieties change, we can call on the pollinating species which are best suited to the task.
"We can't just rely on our current starting line-up of pollinators.
"We need a large and diverse group of species on the substitutes' bench, ready to join the game as soon as they are needed, if we are to ensure food production remains stable."
An international team of scientists reviewed data from five continents on the work of wild bees in pollinating crops.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, indicated the pollinating work of wild bees was worth about £1,900 per hectare globally.
Most of this work was done by a small number of common species, such as some types of bumblebees and solitary bees.
However, the researchers say conservation efforts should be aimed at a wide number of species - even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination - in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food security.
Dr Mike Garratt, of the University of Reading, said focusing only on wild bees that had financial value today for agriculture would be a mistake.
"That misses the vast majority of bee species," he said. "They are important pollinators of thousands of wild plants - we can't afford to lose that either."
The research adds to debate over the value of economic factors in conservation.
Benefits that people gain from nature - known as ecosystem services - are increasingly being used as an argument for conservation efforts.
In the case of bees, too much focus on services delivered - such as pollination - may lead to neglect of rarer species that could be important in the future, the scientists say.
Commenting on the study, Prof Pat Willmer of the University of St Andrews said: "The key point is that wild bees, mostly the solitary bees, matter greatly for crop pollination, just as many other studies just looking at one crop at a time have already shown.
"But crucially the commonest wild bees are the most important, which gives us the 'win-win' situation where relatively cheap and easy conservation measures can support these and give maximum benefit for the crops.
"For example, planting wild flowers with wider grassy margins around crops, as well as less intensive or more organic farming, all enhance abundance of the key crop-visiting bees."

The man was fatally injured in a collision with a car on the N17 at Polkeen, Castlegar, at about 21:45 local time on Wednesday.
He was taken to University Hospital Galway where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the car was uninjured.
The road was closed for a time, but has since reopened.
The organisations argued that search sites were "overwhelmingly" directing users to illegal content.
The proposal - developed as part of government-organised talks - was made public by critics of the plans following a Freedom of Information request.
The Open Rights Group (ORG) said the report was "dangerous" and "Sopa-like".
Campaigner Peter Bradwell was making reference to the recent protests surrounding the Stop Online Piracy Act in the United States.
"Yet again we're facing dangerous plans to give away power over what we're allowed to see and do online," he said.
"The proposals come from discussions that lack any serious analysis of the problem and boast barely a glimmer of democratic input or accountability."
The release of the document followed a round-table session held last year involving representatives from search engines, rights holders and the government.
The report read: "Consumers searching for digital copies of copyright entertainment are directed overwhelmingly to illegal sites and services.
"This causes consumer confusion and significantly impedes the development of licensed digital entertainment markets in the UK."
It said sites like Google and Microsoft's Bing were "significantly" impeding the entertainment industry in the UK.
It went on to suggest various measures search engines could take to encourage the use of legal services, including giving lower rankings to sites that "repeatedly make available unlicensed content in breach of copyright".
It also suggested search engines should stop indexing sites that were subject to court orders.
The ORG's Mr Bradwell told the BBC he had serious concerns about the plans.
"There's nothing there about how licensed or unlicensed or illegal sites are going to be determined. There's nothing in there about independent oversight and due process.
"It's just another example of extremely vague proposals based on fluffy evidence."
Richard Mollett, chief executive of the Publishers Association, told the BBC that the ORG was wrong to compare the plans to the controversial Sopa bill which spurred widespread protests earlier this month.
"Sopa deals with blocking rogue websites," Mr Mollett said.
"Whereas what these proposals are looking to do is work with search engines to demote infringing sites on their rankings.
"What we're saying to Google is that where we have a site where we are constantly sending notices, that information should be used by Google as a sign that site is an infringing site."
The search engines in attendance at last year's round-table - Google, Bing and Yahoo - are said to be putting together their own proposal due to be discussed at a meeting next month.
A spokesperson for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: "The government is continuing to facilitate discussions between rights holders and search engines on industry proposals for tackling sites that are dedicated to copyright infringement."
The Sunderland midfielder, 25, played in a 4-0 win at Crystal Palace, three years, eight months and 29 days after starting in a Manchester City victory.
Rodwell's winless run of 39 matches stretches back to a City win over West Brom on 7 May 2013 and includes 37 games since he joined the Black Cats.
But it was not all good news as he came off injured after half-time.
Rodwell joined Sunderland for £10m in August 2014 and while he has tasted victory a handful of times in cup competitions and when coming on off the bench, his unwanted record of failing to win in the league when starting has become well publicised.
The previous longest winless Premier League run belongs to three men - ex-Derby players Darren Moore and Kenny Miller, along with former Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton.
Owen Smith rejected accusations from opposition parties that relationships between senior Labour figures in London and Cardiff had been too cosy.
Mr Smith said: "Where there needs to be hard words there will be hard words."
He told BBC Wales the relationship was one of "critical friendship".
In the first in a series of election interviews with Welsh political parties, he said: "What we need in Wales, what the Welsh people want and deserve is a partnership between a government in Westminster and a government in Wales both working for the good of Wales working to improve public services together, not criticising one another.
"There is a big difference between having an attitude whereby what you want is collaboration and partnership and where all the Tories want is for Wales to be castigated by them in order to score political points."
Protesters have argued that the views of the colonial politician are incompatible with an "inclusive culture" at the university.
Oriel College says it will consult on the statue's future - and has decided to remove a plaque to Rhodes.
The college says it does not "condone his racist views or actions".
The campaign to remove the Oxford statue follows a university protest in South Africa.
A statue of Cecil Rhodes was attacked and then ultimately taken down at the University of Cape Town, after being identified by protesters as a symbol of a colonial, pre-apartheid era.
Rhodes had been a strong advocate of colonial power in Africa.
But his name is also attached to Rhodes Scholarships which bring overseas students to Oxford University - past beneficiaries include former US president Bill Clinton.
The Rhodes Must Fall campaign in South Africa has been adopted in Oxford - and in the next six months the college will decide on what should happen to its statue.
Among the options will be to leave it in place, to add some information explaining the historical context, or to remove the statue completely.
Cecil Rhodes attended Oriel College and and left money to the college on his death in 1902.
The college says his legacy might include the scholarships, but his "values and world view stand in absolute contrast" to a modern university.
Oriel says the experience of ethnic minority students needs to improve at Oxford and that his links with the college do not reflect any "celebration of his unacceptable views and actions".
A statement from the college says a plaque erected in his honour on a college building in 1906 will be taken down, pending the consent of the local council.
The statue is also in a college building with listed status, which raises questions about what could be changed.
"In the short term, we have put up a temporary notice in the window of the High Street building, below the statue, clarifying its historical context and the college's position on Rhodes," says a college statement.
The argument in Oxford is part of an international pattern of students challenging university symbols and accusing them of promoting a racist legacy.
There has been a wave of protests in dozens of United States universities this autumn, many focusing on emblems which they accuse of racist links.
At Harvard University, there have been campaigns to change a university emblem which includes the coat of arms of a slave-owning family.
University house masters have also agreed to drop the title "master" because of its associations with slavery.
At Amherst College, there has been a campaign against a mascot, based on an 18th Century general who had advocated killing the local Native American population by deliberately giving them smallpox.
There have also been opponents of changing such symbols, who have argued that universities have to reflect the reality of views held in previous eras.

WHAT THE CITY DEAL INVOLVES
HOW THE DEAL STACKS UP
Q&A: What does the Cardiff Capital Region city deal mean?
Analysis by Sarah Dickins, BBC Wales economics correspondent
The group behind the city deal has been criticised in the past for not sufficiently involving business. It is a claim that has been strongly denied.
This sees the first formal engagement of the business community of south east Wales. They will want to hear how the city deal plans are going to help businesses and the economy grow.
One of the economic reasons behind the Metro is to make it easier for people to work beyond their communities and it gives businesses access to a larger pool of labour.
The hope is that along with funds for innovation and collaboration with higher education, economic growth will increase and the area will end up with more better paid jobs.
The 10 local authorities involved in the city deal want to make sure that their communities feel the benefit. Because of that, the plans include an emphasis on house building with the belief that more and better housing in valleys communities will encourage people to commute both ways.
The conference includes a range of speakers from other city regions across the world to highlight international best practice.
Lessons from Greater Manchester
The event at Cardiff City stadium has been organised by Cardiff University, the region's 10 councils and a transition board set up by the Welsh Government.
One of the speakers was Mike Blackburn, the chairman of the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership.
He said devolution of power so that Greater Manchester could work as a city region started more than 13 years ago.
Mr Blackburn said all local authorities in the area recognised many years ago that it was in all of their interests to work together.
He added that it has also been helped by having the same leadership for 20 years.
To see exactly the strengths and weaknesses of the area, in which 2m people live, the Greater Manchester city region asked six global academics to carry out independent research spelling out exactly what the economy issues were - such as lack of skills.
The area is now reviewing its post-16 education system and has taken control of its £6bn health and social care budgets and is trying to develop a health system focused on prevention.
The idea of the day-long conference is for businesses in south East Wales to hear what could change with the Cardiff Capital Region so that they can feed their views into decision-making.
Mr Blackburn said good transport had played a vital role but that has been wide-ranging including air transport, freight and cycle paths not just focussed on cars, buses and trains.
Ann Beynon, chairwoman of the Cardiff Capital Region transition board, said the business community had expressed confusion in the past about what the city deal and city region were offering but the agendas were now "better aligned".
"Business can cross examine us to their hearts' content and I welcome that.
"But business will also have to step up to the mark and agree its contribution towards improving economic outcomes for the people of south east Wales - our capital region."
More than 300 students from Danwon high school, located south of Seoul, were on the Sewol ferry when it capsized.
Most of the students are dead, or missing inside the sunken hull.
The ferry sank last week as it sailed from Incheon to Jeju Island. More than 160 people have been confirmed dead, as search teams work to recover bodies.
There were 476 people on board, with many trapped inside as the ferry listed and sank within two hours of distress signals being sent. A total of 174 passengers were rescued.
Almost 250 students and teachers from Danwon have been confirmed dead or are presumed to have died, Reuters news agency says.
Most of the students who survived the disaster remain in hospital and it is not clear when they will return to school.
Final year students returned to Danwon school on Thursday, however. Dozens of counsellors have been brought in to help with the trauma that many of the students are expected to face.
Over the past week, Danwon high school has become a memorial site - flowers and messages piling up outside the gates and funeral rites taking place in classrooms, says the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul.
Messages posted in classrooms reportedly included: "If I see you again, I'll tell you I love you, because I haven't said it to you enough."
Many in South Korea are worried about what this tragedy will mean for the children - the missing faces in Danwon's classrooms and the knowledge of how fallible their protectors can be, our correspondent adds.
On Wednesday, an emotional memorial service took place near the school, with friends and family members laying flowers in front of photographs of some of those who died.
The cause of the capsize is still being investigated, with the government under strong public pressure to find out what happened.
The first distress call from the sinking ferry was made by a student from Danwon, officials said.
"Save us! We're on a ship and I think it's sinking," Yonhap news agency quoted him as saying. On Thursday, news reports said the body of the boy had been found.
Reports suggest that passengers were told to remain in their rooms and cabins as the ship listed, amid confusion on the bridge over whether to order them to abandon ship.
Of the ferry's crew, 22 of the 29 survived. Twenty crew members, including the captain, have been detained or arrested and face charges including negligence of duty, Yonhap says.
The captain of the ferry, 69, was not on the bridge when the ferry capsized, with a third mate at the helm.
A crew member quoted by local media said that attempts to launch lifeboats were unsuccessful because the ship was listing badly.
South Korean prosecutors are pursuing a wide-ranging investigation and are looking into the ferry operator and its affiliated organisations.
An opposition politician released a document earlier this week saying the Sewol was carrying more than three times its maximum recommended cargo, reports say.
Other reports have suggested that the ferry did not take sufficient ballast to balance its cargo load. But a senior engineer on the ferry was quoted by AFP news agency as saying that there were "no problems" with the engines or ballast tanks.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye has condemned the conduct of some of the crew, calling it "akin to murder".
Anthony Knockaert set up both goals for the hosts, firstly teeing up Bobby Zamora to send a first-time finish past Town goalkeeper Jed Steer.
Harry Bunn equalised, nodding in Tommy Smith's centre before half-time.
Knockaert crossed for sub James Wilson to head Brighton's winner, before Smith was sent off for two yellow cards.
Former Leicester midfielder Knockaert also hit the post in an excellent personal display which set up a second successive league win for Chris Hughton's side.
With Burnley and Derby facing each other on Monday, Albion took the chance to move up a couple of places in the table, while they are only five points behind second-placed Middlesbrough.
Zamora, who had ended Brighton's six-game goal drought in the 1-0 win at Blackburn seven days earlier, found the net for the second game in a row.
The 35-year-old cleared a corner from inside his own six-yard box and was on hand to meet Knockaert's pass after a swift counter-attack.
Brighton once again failed to keep a clean sheet at home - they have not done so since a 0-0 draw with Preston on 24 October - but it proved academic as Wilson scored the third goal of his loan spell from Manchester United.
Huddersfield's recent momentum was halted by their defeat in Sussex, but the Terriers remain eight points above the bottom three.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton on James Wilson: "The intention is to give him valuable experience and be regularly involved in games. It will toughen him up physically.
"He knows what the Championship is all about now and that is valuable experience for him.
"Ultimately, he'll be sent back after half a season's experience at this level. He scored a really good goal, he's having the benefit of hard-fought and aggressive games, and at the minute it is working out very well."
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "I think in the most part of the game we did quite well. If we had got something from the game it wouldn't have been unfair.
"I think it was important not to make early mistakes and unfortunately for us we did.
"In the second half there was nothing much between the sides but at 2-1 down we didn't create enough chances." | Manchester City moved up to second in the Premier League table as Arsenal squandered a lead to lose for the second successive game.

David Lee Stewart, from Grays Park Avenue in Belfast, appeared at Belfast Crown Court on Tuesday.
He pleaded guilty to a total of five charges arising from an incident which claimed the life of the 18-year old.
The architecture student from Killyclogher, County Tyrone, was in his first year at Queen's University.
He was walking along the Malone Road to his student accommodation when he was struck by a white van, driven by Stewart, in October 2014.
On Tuesday, Stewart admitted causing Mr Dolan's death by dangerous driving, as well as four other motoring offences, including dangerous driving and failing to provide a specimen of blood.
Stewart's defence barrister asked that a pre-sentence report be compiled on his client ahead of sentencing.
He will be remanded in custody until sentencing.
She suggested the move be considered for Turkish "special passport" holders, who are mainly civil servants.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove said it showed the UK was "actively working" towards Turkey's EU entry.
But the UK home and foreign secretaries said any suggestion of changing visa arrangements was "completely untrue".
The EU backed Turks getting visa-free travel inside Europe's Schengen area, of which the UK is not a member, as a deal for accepting more migrants.
The leaked telegrams, sent on 5 May by Janet Douglas, the deputy head of mission at the British Embassy in Ankara, relate to the EU's own visa deal planned as recompense for Turkish help dealing with the Syrian migrant crisis.
The deal, to allow visa-free travel to Schengen countries, was offered in return for Turkey taking back migrants who crossed the Aegean Sea to Greece. The EU fears that, without it, Turkey will not control migration.
What is the Schengen agreement?
EU sets out road to Turkey visa deal
In one leaked document, Ms Douglas said that when the EU deal was implemented "we will need to develop our own lines on the UK's stance to visa-free travel for Turks".
"One option would be to assess again the possibility of visa travel for Turkish special passport holders which would be a risk, but a significant and symbolic gesture to Turkey."
Special passports are mainly held by civil servants, their spouses and their unmarried children below the age of 25.
Within the reported deal there was no suggestion that "special passport holders" would have access for work.
Ms Douglas was also said to warn that failure to bring in the visa-free travel deal could prompt Turkey to "open the floodgates" and allow those fleeing Syria and elsewhere easier access to the EU.
It is not known how the Foreign Office responded to this correspondence from Ms Douglas.
But Mr Gove, who backs the UK leaving the EU, told the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg that the implications of the documents were clear.
"Later this year, if EU plans are implemented, then we'll have visa-free travel for 77 million Turks throughout Europe," he said.
"It appears from this diplomatic telegram today that there are suggestions that some special Turkish passport holders will be allowed to come to the UK as well.
"The evidence is that the British government and the EU are actively working towards Turkey joining the EU and Turkish citizens being able to travel throughout the EU."
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and Home Secretary Theresa May - both of whom back the Remain campaign - said there had been a selective leak of diplomatic telegrams and that the story was "completely untrue".
They said border restrictions would not be lifted "regardless of what arrangements other member states... may make with Turkey".
In a joint statement they said: "The government's policy is, and will remain, to maintain current visa requirements for all Turkish nationals wishing to visit the UK, regardless of what arrangements other member states in the Schengen area may make with Turkey.
"Schengen visas do not give anyone the right to access the UK.
"The purpose of diplomatic telegrams is for our embassies around the world to feed back information on the position and views of foreign governments.
"They are reports from our diplomatic posts, not statements of British government policy."
Mr Cameron has said Turkey joining the EU is not "remotely on the cards", describing the issue as a "red herring" in the referendum debate and making clear the UK has a veto on any prospective member joining the bloc.
The EU agreed in March to offer Turkey the proposed visa-free access by 1 July but the country has yet to fulfil all of the conditions laid down by the European Commission, including changes to Ankara's anti-terrorism laws to meet EU concerns over human rights.

The BBC England Data Unit analysed the 2015 general election and found:
Three seats in Stoke-on-Trent, two in Birmingham, West Bromwich West and Walsall North all returned Labour MPs, yet between 13,000 and 17,000 more people failed to cast a valid vote than voted for the winner.
In some cases, the winning majority was small. In Walsall North, for example, Labour won in 2015 by less than 2,000 votes. Yet more than 30,000 eligible voters did not choose a candidate.
In the UK overall, Northern Ireland contained constituencies where the untapped potential of non-voters was even higher. In South Antrim, 18,960 more people did not vote than voted for the winning Ulster Unionist Party MP. East Londonderry and Upper Bann, won by the Democratic Unionist Party, also had about 17,500 more non-voters and spoiled papers each than votes for the winning MP.
Only in 48 constituencies would the number of non-voters and spoiled papers added to the second-placed candidate not have been enough to change the result.
The seat safest from the untapped power of non-voters in 2015 was that of Theresa May, who went on to become prime minister in July 2016.

Katie Ghose, the chief executive of the Electoral Reform Society, wants to see an end to the traditional "first past the post" voting system.
She said: "Despite our flawed voting system, it's vital that everyone gets out there and uses their hard-fought right to vote. Voting does make a difference, and wherever people are they should have their say. The point is to make the voice of voters even stronger.
"Nonetheless, we know that many people stay at home because they don't feel like their vote would count.
"And of course, millions voted for smaller parties where their votes simply didn't translate into representation. That has a huge impact on public faith in our democracy, and does Parliament and politics a huge disservice."
The first past the post system is seen by its supporters as simple, because the person with the most votes wins.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron, who campaigned against changing the voting system in 2011, described it as "cheap to administer and with little bureaucracy".
Simon Woolley, a director of campaign group Operation Black Vote, said: "A vote is more than just a choice. It's leverage. It's demanding the change you want to see. You cannot tell me that voting does not make a difference."

Bercot is the first female director to launch the event since Diane Kurys in 1987.
The prize jury is headed by the Coen brothers and includes Sienna Miller and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Nineteen movies will compete for the best film - the Palme d'Or - with stars like Michael Fassbender due to attend.
Here is a pick of some of the films which are being shown both in and out of competition.
Asif Kapadia's documentary about the late singer Amy Winehouse, simply titled Amy, has already found itself at the centre of some controversy.
Made with the assistance of the Winehouse family using old tapes and footage of the singer, who died in 2011 aged 27, Winehouse's father Mitch has now distanced himself from the film, suggesting its is misleading.
The film is showing at Cannes at a special midnight screening and, based on the teaser trailer which surfaced earlier this year, it will be a stark reminder of a stunning musical talent and vibrant personality taken far too soon.
Kapadia is known for his Bafta-winning documentary Senna, about the late F1 driving champion Ayrton Senna.
Based on the novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, Carol is set in 1950s New York, and tells the story of a young female department-store clerk who falls for an older, married woman.
It stars The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in the main roles.
The romantic novel was considered hugely controversial on its release in the 50s because of its lesbian storyline but is now regarded as a groundbreaking work.
Haynes has previously directed Blanchett when she played a version of Bob Dylan in the 2007 film I'm Not There.
Pixar's latest film is not in competition but gets its world premiere at this year's event.
The animation will be set in the mind of a young girl, where five emotions - Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear and Sadness - try to lead her through her life.
Voices include Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling.
Docter has previously directed Monsters, Inc and the huge critical and financial success Up, which opened the 2009 Cannes Film Festival - the first animated feature to do so.
It will be preceded by a short, Lava - a musical love story directed by James Ford Murphy, inspired by tropical islands and ocean volcanoes.
Cannes loves an auteur and it loves Woody Allen.
His new film Irrational Man stars Joachim Phoenix and Emma Stone as a philosophy professor in an existential crisis and a student who gives him a new lease of life.
Stone clearly enjoys working with the veteran director, having also starred in his 2014 film Magic in the Moonlight. Allen's career has been a critical hit and miss in recent years with Blue Jasmine, starring Cate Blanchett in Oscar-winning form as a clear high.
To Rome with Love and Fading Gigolo did not enjoy the same success.
Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos has already tasted success with his dark drama Dogtooth which won the prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2009 festival.
His new film The Lobster is in competition for the main prize this year.
It is set in a dystopian near future where lonely people are obliged to find a matching mate within a 45-day period in a hotel. If they fail, they are transformed into animals and sent off into the woods. What is not to love about that?
Filmed on location in Ireland, its all-star cast includes Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Ben Whishaw, Olivia Colman and John C Reilly amongst others.
This is Michael Fassbender's take on Shakespeare's doomed Scottish King, co-starring Marion Cotillard, David Thewlis and Paddy Considine.
The film is directed by Australian director Justin Kurzel, best known for his 2011 film Snowtown - based on a series of real life murderers.
Rumours are that the cast will be speaking with Scots accents save for Cotillard, who will retain her French tongue - the reason being that it would be not unreasonable to suggest that she had spent some time in French court.
Filming took place through locations in Scotland and England last year.
It is being screened in competition for the Palme d'Or.
Mad Max: Fury Road is George Miller's own reboot of his original Mad Max trilogy, the film which helped make a global star out of Mel Gibson.
This film sees British actor Tom Hardy in the title role and sets him against a bloodthirsty gang of marauders in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
It co-stars Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult.
Expect fast cars, explosions and some truly astounding stunt work.
Gus Van Sant's elegiac The Sea of Trees sees Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey as an American who travels to the "Suicide Forest" at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan to kill himself. There, he encounters the equally suicidal Ken Watanabe.
Expect some powerhouse acting from both stars and Naomi Watts, who co-stars in the film.
Van Sant has some pedigree at Cannes, having won the Palme d'Or for his drama Elephant in 2003. His 2005 film Last Days, a fictionalised account of a Kurt Cobain-style rock star, was show at the 2005 festival.
Actress Natalie Portman is making her Cannes debut as a director with A Tale of Love and Darkness.
The drama is based on the memoir of Israeli writer and journalist Amos Oz. The book was translated into 28 languages and more than a million copies have been sold.
Since 1967, Oz has been an advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Portman, who also plays Oz's mother, shot the movie in Jerusalem last year.
Italian director Matteo Garrone was feted for his gangster film Gomorrah in 2008. It was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won the Grand Prix - effectively the silver medal - at the festival.
In 2012, he again found himself in competition with the film Reality, which created some controversy as its lead actor Aniello Arena was a convicted former gangster, who has been serving life in prison for murder since 1991.
Garrone's visually sumptious new film The Tale of Tales, is an altogether starrier affair - a fairytale collection featuring Salma Hayek, John C Reilly, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones and Shirley Henderson.
Many critics were left wanting by Miike's 2013 film Straw Shield, which was screened in competition in 2013. His latest film Yakuza Apocalypse is a tale of vengeance pitting a Japanese gangster against his vampire boss.
Miike became best known to western audiences with the hyper-violent films Audition and Ichi the Killer.
Martial arts film fans will recognise long-haired Yayan Ruhian from Gareth Evans' 2011 Indonesian film The Raid.
Sorrentino's heart-breakingly beautiful film The Grand Beauty, set in the modern decadence of Rome, was acclaimed when it premiered at Cannes in 2013. It went on to win the Oscar for best foreign language film.
His new film, Youth, his second in the English-language, sees Michael Caine as a retired orchestra conductor who is invited to perform for the Queen and Prince Philip.
The film co-stars Paul Dano, Rachel Weisz and Harvey Keitel.
Mr Farry accused the SDLP of "gesture" politics after it sought to amend a motion by the Finance Minister.
Mr Wilson's supply resolutions would give the Executive the legal authority to unlock billions of pounds in the block grant.
But the SDLP is seeking to amend the motion.
Mr Farry said the only "honest and coherent" approach for the SDLP is to leave the Executive.
The SDLP amendment seeks to divert more than £20m from various departments in a bid to cut travel overheads and consultancy fees.
The party has yet to support the draft budget.
The SDLP's Alban Maginness challenged Mr Farry on his own party's stance.
He pointed out that the Alliance leader and Justice Minister, David Ford, had supported a budget which Mr Farry described as "full of holes".
The 20-year-old striker has yet to make a first-team start for the Hatters, but did come off the bench four times towards the end of last season.
"Zane is a hard-working player and caught my eye in training as soon as I arrived," said Luton boss Nathan Jones.
"I have always said that young players have to earn their place in my squad and Zane did exactly that last season."
The services would be merged with other job centres or moved to council buildings, under plans by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The UK government said it would save money, with office spaces under-used and claims online increasing.
But the PCS union criticised the move, saying it would force unemployed people to travel further.
The Jobcentre Plus offices set to close in Wales:
Two back offices will also be merged under the plans - the office in Porth with one in Caerphilly, and the office in Llanelli with the main office in Swansea.
The DWP said it did not intend to make JobCentre Plus staff redundant and would be holding discussions with them about redeployment.
A consultation would be held with claimants who would have to travel more than three miles (5km) or 20 minutes by public transport to sign-on, it added.
Other offices across the UK are also set to close, with the DWP saying the move would save about £180m a year over the next 10 years.
The UK government's Minster for Employment Damian Hinds said: "The planned changes will be made in consultation with staff taking into account the impact on benefit claimants and DWP staff.
"The vast majority of staff will have the option to relocate or offered alternative roles."
But the PCS union's general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "Jobcentres provide a lifeline for unemployed people and forcing them to travel further is not only unfair, it undermines support to get them back to work.
"We are opposed to these closures and will vigorously fight any attempt to force DWP workers out of their jobs."
Carmarthenshire council leader Emlyn Dole said closure of the back office in Llanelli would be a " tremendous loss" for the town and the wider economy.
"I will be taking the matter up with the Welsh Government as a priority in order to see what can be done to minimise any losses," he added.
"We will also be asking the Department for Work and Pensions to reconsider its decision."
The woman was reported missing on the Aurora ship as it sailed from the Spanish city of La Coruna to Barcelona on Friday, P&O Cruises said.
The ship's crew were alerted and ordered an immediate search for the woman, who has not yet been named.
The Aurora left Southampton for a 14-night western Mediterranean cruise on 26 September.
A statement from P&O Cruises said: "Our care team is supporting the family and offering assistance."
The company confirmed all passengers on board were British.
It is understood that passengers were informed of the discovery of the body through an announcement from the ship's captain, Ian Hutley.
Pat Rodgers, who is on board the Aurora with her husband, said the water had been "very choppy" and fellow passengers were "sad and subdued".
She said: "The captain made an announcement over the loudspeaker at 8:10 BST and asked everyone to help keep a look-out.
"There have been planes and a helicopter circling overhead and the lifeboats are out."
She added: "The crew have been great. They are keeping things calm and the captain is giving frequent updates."
Jordan (3-66) and Archer (3-51) lead the hosts' bowling efforts at Arundel as no Foxes batsman passed 50.
Lewis Hill (49), Mark Cosgrove (41) and Colin Ackermann (40) all made scores, helping Leicestershire make 281 and secure a first-innings lead of 19 runs.
Chris Nash then fell for 15, but Luke Wells and Harry Finch reached stumps on 74-1, giving Sussex a lead of 55 runs.
The basketball team arrived in the Vatican on Wednesday as part of a tour of Italy.
The Pope was presented with a framed Globetrotters shirt adorned with the name Pope Francis, and the number 90 on the back.
He also took time out from his weekly general audience to be taught a few basketball skills.
The Globetrotters, a basketball exhibition team, were founded in 1926, and were one of the first to feature African-American players at a time of segregation in the United States.
While visiting Pope Francis, they did not, however, go as far as they did when they were last at the Vatican - when they made Pope John Paul II an honorary member of the team.
The significance of the number 90 on Pope Francis' honorary shirt was not immediately clear - although his most recent approval rating among US Catholics was at 90%.
Koen Allwood, 15, was struck in Barton near the Humber Bridge in November.
A teenage girl was also hit and suffered serious injuries in the incident.
Damian Benson, of High Street, Barton, was bailed at North Lincolnshire Magistrates' Court to appear at Grimsby Crown Court on 12 May.
He is also charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving and using a motor vehicle with defective tyres and defective brakes.
More than 150 fellow pupils of Baysgarth School attended Koen's funeral.
Free care for three-and four-year-olds is to rise from 15 to 30 hours in each term-time week under government plans.
But the Pre-School Learning Alliance said fees were likely to rise elsewhere to cover the shortfall as not enough funding was being provided.
The government said it was investing £6bn in childcare in this parliament.
Pilot schemes are due to begin in the autumn, with the full scheme implemented across England in 2017.
Childcare providers have told the Victoria Derbyshire programme they are only currently managing to offer 15 hours of free childcare a week by plugging a shortfall in government funding, usually by asking parents to pay a higher rate for the additional time the child spends in nursery.
But they say the amount of money the government is offering to enlarge the scheme will not cover their costs and the increase would make it more difficult to cross-subsidise places in this way - so they may need to increase fees of younger children who are not included in the plans.
Pre-School Learning Alliance, which represents 14,000 childcare workers, says it has "grave concerns" over funding and fees for under-twos could rise "substantially".
Its chief executive, Neil Leitch, said: "You don't need to be an accountant to work out that if you extend those 15 hours to 30 hours, you have a problem because you don't have the ability to cross-subsidise the fees.
"It's quite clear you'll have to make up that difference somewhere and I would suggest the money is likely to be made up from one and two-year-olds, as they don't have the same entitlement."
Jill Rutter, head of policy and research at the Family and Childcare Trust, said without changes to funding there would be three likely outcomes.
"Some nurseries might say they're not going to offer the extra hours, another possible effect is prices go up for parents outside the 30 hours, for ones and two-year-olds or for extra hours that parents buy on top of the free provision. (Thirdly) If you can't do that, inevitably, some might go out of business," she said.
Education and childcare minister, Sam Gyimah, said: "This does not match what we're seeing on the ground and many providers want to work with us to trial our 30-hour free offer.
"We will be investing £6bn per year in childcare by the end of this Parliament so that we can offer hardworking families the affordable childcare they need."
In Wales, all three and four-year-olds are entitled to a minimum of 10 hours of free foundation phase early education, while in Scotland they are eligible for 600 hours of free childcare a year (the equivalent of around 16 hours a week during term time). In Northern Ireland, under the pre-school education programme, there is an allocation of funded places for children in the year before they start school.
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.
Katharina Schiechtl's header gave the home side the lead while substitute Helen Ward should have equalised early in the second half
Sarah Puntigam and Nina Burger sealed victory for the Group Eight leaders.
It was a disappointing result for manager Jayne Ludlow, in charge of her first competitive game after succeeding Jarmo Matikainen in October 2014.
Sarah Zadrazil was prominent early in the game for Austria and tested goalkeeper Joanne Price with an effort from outside the box.
The home side went ahead on 25 minutes when Price failed to deal with Carina Wenninger's free-kick and Schiechtl nodded home.
Nia Jones headed over the crossbar in response before Laura Feiersinger hit the woodwork and a second attempt saved by Price.
Home keeper Manuela Zinsberger denied Seattle Reign's Jess Fishlock as Austria maintained their first-half lead.
Ward replaced Melissa Fletcher at the interval and the Reading striker came close to equalising early in the second half but shot wide following good work by Fishlock.
Wales struggled with set-pieces all evening and they conceded again with 17 minutes remaining when Puntigam scored directly from a corner.
Burger completed the scoring with a close-range header to secure Austria's second victory of the campaign after their 2-0 win against Kazakhstan
Wales' next game on 23 October is away to top seeds Norway, who earlier in the day began their campaign with a 4-0 win in Kazakhstan.
Wales manager Jayne Ludlow told BBC Radio Wales:
"There were many aspects I was pleased with but the fact that we got done by two set plays I'm not very pleased with.
"The last goal for them was a positional error so there are things we can correct and we can work on and build for the future.
"There were a few girls on that pitch who haven't experienced international football before so it was very pleasing to see their performances."
In just a few days, they will be making that decision again.
Newsround takes a look at just what you need to know ahead of this important vote.
There are two main people that US voters can choose from to be the next president of their country - Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
There are candidates for other smaller parties, but it is almost impossible that they will receive enough votes to be elected as president.
Whoever wins will take over from the current president Barack Obama. He has now been president for eight years, but it's time for him to let someone else do the job.
The country's rulebook, called the Constitution, says a president can only stay in the job for two terms - that is, two lots of four years.
As Barack Obama has done the job for eight years now, he has reached the end of his time as president and must let someone else take over.
In the US, there are two main political parties called the Democrats and the Republicans. They both want their candidate to become the next president of the country.
Hillary Clinton is the candidate for the Democrats - like Barack Obama was - while Donald Trump is trying to become president for the Republicans.
Both sides have been going around the country for many months in order to convince people that they are the right person for the job of president.
There are many other people who have been campaigning on behalf of the candidate that they support.
Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have also picked what is called a running mate, who is the person that will become the vice-president if they win.
Tim Kaine is Hillary Clinton's running mate and will be vice-president if she wins the election. Mike Pence is Donald Trump's running mate.
People in the US will vote to decide who will be the next president on 8 November.
We might even know the result when we wake up on Wednesday morning.
Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will officially be made the next president on 20 January 2017.
It is important to us in the UK who will be the next president of the US, as it is such an important country with a lot of power.
It is thought that the president of the US is the most powerful person on the planet, so it's important we take an interest in who they are.
The US is considered to be a good friend of the UK when it comes to politics and so the leaders of both of our countries will be working together a lot.
Companies in the UK also do a lot of business with the US, so what is happening there can affect businesses here.

The extent of damage so far in Haiti has been catastrophic. In Florida, it remains to be seen how much the state will be affected.
Both locations are likely to have dramatically different responses to the storm. How were they each prepared and how will they cope?
In Florida, there have been mass evacuations of the coastal areas. Millions of people were urged to leave their homes in the southern US states. In some areas traffic was rerouted to allow people to escape. Residents stocked up on food, water and petrol, causing long queues at fuel stations. Many residents also shored up their homes with shutters and plywood boards.
In Haiti, preparedness was difficult as the country is fragile and vulnerable to disasters. But evacuations were ordered for some high-risk areas, including in outlying islands where people were brought to safety by boat. Since the earthquake in 2010, the country has also been hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. It also suffered a drought. Infrastructure is poor in rural areas, making it difficult for the local population to prepare for such a large-scale disaster.
Tom Newby from the emergency response team at Care International UK said that since 2010, many NGOs have been working to help Haitian NGOs deal with emergencies. In small emergencies, local officials have been able to manage a disaster response effectively. But the scale of this emergency has overwhelmed their capacity.
In Florida, Governor Rick Scott said 600,000 people were without power. But Florida Power and Light, the largest energy provider in the state, said they already had 15,000 people in place to respond to the power cuts. The state opened 147 shelters for more than 22,300 people during the storm.
In Haiti, emergency rescue teams have struggled to reach the hardest hit areas. In the city of Jeremie, 80% of buildings were levelled and 30,000 homes destroyed in Sud province.
Care International says the city of Jacmel is also badly affected. The number of people in shelters increased from 2,700 to 4,000 in one day.
In Florida, the extent of the damage is still unclear, but hundreds of thousands, if not millions are expected to lose power. Homes may also be destroyed.
In Haiti, hundreds of people have been killed as a result of the storm and aid agencies are warning of a possible cholera epidemic.
Care International's country director in Haiti says three people have already been infected. People also face an immediate food crisis as the storm wiped out many Haitians' food reserves and crops.
The Red Cross has estimated more than one million were affected and the UN says some 350,000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
Mr Newby said: "The level of destruction is similar to the destruction after the earthquake, but on a much smaller scale. It is comparable in terms of local severity but not in numbers."
In Florida, Governor Rick Scott has strongly advised residents to evacuate and take shelter. President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in Florida and has released federal funds.
In Haiti, the government has been slow to respond, leaving many affected residents to fend for themselves. Many Haitians have been angered and frustrated. Some international NGOs are already on the ground in Haiti working to provide food, shelter, and water to local residents. US military personnel are expected to deliver food and water to the worst affected areas in several helicopters.
Robbie Morrison, 31, who had served with the British Army in the Middle East, was stabbed in the leg by Kristian Nelson.
Nelson, 37, originally accused of murdering Mr Morrison, admitted a reduced charge of killing his victim.
He admitted striking him on the leg with a knife at Dumbryden Gardens, in Edinburgh, on August 22 last year.
Police followed a trail of blood from Mr Morrison to his attacker's Wester Hailes home.
A judge told Nelson at the High Court in Edinburgh he had had the chance to throw the knife away but deliberately used it to stab his victim.
Lord Glennie said: "You have an unenviable record, including two offences of assault to injury or severe injury and one assault with a hammer.
"This time it was a knife and the consequences were fatal."
The judge told Nelson he would have jailed him for 10 years, but for his earlier guilty plea to culpable homicide.
Nelson's co-accused Colin Craig, 46, from Edinburgh, had also originally faced a charge of murdering Mr Morrison but the Crown earlier accepted his guilty plea to assault.
Craig tripped Mr Morrison, who fell to the ground, after he tried to run away following a confrontation with Nelson.
He also dumped the knife used to kill the victim along with a bloodstained jumper in a canal. The judge deferred sentence on Craig for a year.
Advocate depute Steven Borthwick told the court Mr Morrison, an only child who had a young daughter, left the Army in 2011 after six years service.
The prosecutor said: "The extent to which the accused and the now deceased knew one another is not entirely clear. The motive for the attack which led to the death of Robbie Morrison is not known."
He added: "There is some information to suggest that the now deceased owed a debt to a third party and the at the confrontation between Robbie Morrison and the accused arose as a result of that debt."
The Blaencwm tunnel was buried during the Beeching cutbacks of the UK railway network in the 1960s which led to the closure of thousands of train stations.
Volunteers are now drawing up plans to try to re-open the 3,300 yards (3017m) tunnel in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
They hope to receive funding to excavate the tunnel to attract tourists and create a cycle trail.
De Gea, 20, will reportedly cost £18m and become the second most expensive keeper behind Gianluigi Buffon, who cost Juventus £32.6m in 2001.
"That does not interest me. The value that really counts is what you do on the pitch," De Gea said.
"I feel very motivated that Manchester United are thinking about me."
De Gea, who is on duty with the Spain Under-21 side at the 2011 European Championship in Denmark, made 45 appearances for Atletico Madrid this season and kept an impressive 24 clean sheets in the process.
He is widely thought to be the goalkeeper that United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has pinpointed to replace the recently retired Edwin van der Sar.
"I like the fact that they are considering me as a replacement for a goalkeeper of Edwin van der Sar's calibre," De Gea added.
"I will need to keep on striving and working hard, as I am still in the outset of my career, and I still have much to do at this level.
"I hope I will still be playing when I am his age. It is hard to look so far ahead but it is something I want to do."
De Gea came through Atletico Madrid's youth system and made his first team debut at the age of 18 in a Champions League match against Porto in 2009.
He also won the Europa League in his first season as he helped Atletico to a 2-1 win over Fulham in the 2010 final in Hamburg.
With his current deal set to expire in 2013, Atletico have previously stated their desire to convince De Gea to sign a new contract.
Should their attempts prove unsuccessful, a buy-out clause reportedly in the region of 25m euros (£22m) is in place.
The pair were in a group of five people when a car mounted the pavement in Torquay on Sunday lunchtime.
The mother, aged 35, suffered head and leg injuries described by police as "life-changing" while her daughter is in a stable condition in hospital.
The driver, a 53-year-old Brixham man, suffered minor injuries.
Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages.
The car, which was heading in the Paignton direction, also collided with a parked car.
The woman is being treated at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash near the junction of Torbay Road and Sea Way Lane.
The road was closed for seven and a half hours while a specialist forensic investigation of the scene took place.
Police said the Burmese python was found by a member of the public at about 18:20 BST in the middle of Wilton Lane, Guisborough, Teesside.
About 8ft (2.4m) long, it is believed it was abandoned by its owner. The snake was collected by vets.
Officers said there is no suggestion any more snakes are loose.
But Cleveland Police said if any are found they should not be disturbed.
On Thursday, the boa constrictor was taken in by experts at an endangered species centre near Redcar.
The former public convenience in North Street, Dowlais, was up for auction starting at £6,000 but ended up being sold for £37,000.
Auctioneers Paul Fosh said the building, which had been owned by the council, could be turned into a cafe, shop or even a new home.
A spokeswoman said there had been "a lot of interest" in the property.
The council that oversees the country's judiciary said it was wrong for some offices just to issue civil union documents when the couple wanted full marriage certificates.
Correspondents say the decision in effect authorises gay marriage.
However full legalisation depends on approval of a bill being examined by the Congress.
Tuesday's resolution by Brazil's National Council of Justice was based on a 2011 Supreme Court ruling that recognised same-sex civil unions.
However, notary publics were not legally bound to converting such unions into marriages when asked by gay couples.
This led to some being denied marriage certificates at certain places, but being granted the document at others. That would be illegal, according to the new resolution.
"If a notary public officer rejects a gay marriage, he could eventually face disciplinary sanctions", NCJ judge Guilherme Calmon told BBC Brasil.
The ruling brings Brazil one step closer to its neighbours Argentina and Uruguay, which have legalised gay marriages.
But opponents could still challenge it at the Supreme Court.
And the same-sex marriage bill being examined by the Congress faces strong opposition from religious and conservative lawmakers.
Brazil is the world's most populous Roman Catholic nation and has an estimated 60,000 gay couples.
Residents living along the border with the Palestinian territory were told to evacuate their homes so that they can be demolished, local media reports.
Water-filled trenches will also be used to prevent the construction of tunnels.
Egyptian media accuses Gaza's Hamas administration of aiding militants in Sinai. Hamas denies the charge.
Last week, more than 30 Egyptian soldiers were killed in a militant bomb attack on an army post in Sinai.
After the bombing, Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi passed a law authorising the military to protect state facilities - including power plants, main roads and bridges.
He also declared a three-month state of emergency in Sinai. Critics of the move said it allows the army to return to the streets and brings back military trials for civilians.
The planned buffer zone will reportedly stretch along the length of the 13km (8 mile) border.
Officials told the Associated Press news agency that the army had given residents 48 hours to leave their homes, but this ultimatum had been put on hold after protests.
Tunnels linking the Gaza Strip and Sinai have also played a vital role in the economy of the Palestinian territory, which has been struggling to cope with a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt in 2007 as a measure against Hamas.
Nuance Communications, which provides transcription software for medical professionals, has slowly been bringing its products back online.
But one IT worker told the BBC that two US hospitals were still having issues.
A security researcher said the situation was "alarming" but praised the transparency of some companies.
The IT worker, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "We have been waiting for [Nuance Communications'] iChart [product] since they were first hit with the ransomware and are still waiting for it to come back.
"We will likely have to move to another product or even another vendor to get the same type of benefit."
A spokesman for Nuance Communications declined to comment on the matter, but directed the BBC to an update from 5 July.
On Monday, logistics company FedEx said customers of its TNT Express arm were still experiencing "widespread" service and invoicing delays.
Shipping giant Maersk was also affected by Petya.
Some port terminals managed by its subsidiary APM Terminals had to be shut down in the wake of the attack.
Maersk had restored all of its major systems and customer interfaces, a spokesman told the BBC.
But he added: "There are some delays on some processes due to manual workarounds or backlogs that needed to be cleared.
"In some cases our turn time to customers might be longer than usual, but we are nevertheless providing them with the services they expect from us."
There have been financial costs, too.
Some affected companies, including Mondelez International - which owns chocolate-maker Cadbury - and consumer health manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser, said the effect of the attack would deduct a few percentage points from their quarterly sales figures.
French construction giant Saint-Gobain, which recorded €39.1bn (£34.7bn) in sales in 2016, said sales in the first half of the current financial year would probably drop by about 1%.
"On one hand, it is alarming to see large multinational corporations still feeling the impact and attempting to recover systems," said security researcher Kevin Beaumont.
"On the other hand, it is good to see some of the businesses communicating so openly about the problems they are experiencing."
Both Mr Beaumont and Mikko Hypponen, at cyber-security company F-Secure, have praised Maersk's openness.
The wave of malware infections that unfolded during the Petya cyber-attack appeared to begin in Ukraine at the end of June.
Since then, about £8,000 of ransom payments in Bitcoin have been moved from a digital wallet - but it is still not known who was behind the attack.

Lock Ryan replaces Iain Henderson, who has a tight hamstring, with prop Healy taking over from Jack McGrath.
With Johnny Sexton's calf muscle still not deemed right, Ulster's Paddy Jackson remains at fly-half.
Ireland's line-out difficulties in the opening defeat by Scotland led to speculation Ryan, 33, would return.
In the event, Henderson's hamstring injury made coach Joe Schmidt's decision a little easier.
With Andrew Trimble still not being risked because of a groin strain, Ulster's Craig Gilroy replaces another of his provincial team-mates Tommy Bowe on the bench.
Sergio Parisse will start for Italy after shaking off a neck injury as coach Conor O'Shea makes four changes from the 33-7 defeat by Wales.
Angelo Esposito replaces Giulio Bisegni at wing with Simone Favaro, Dries Van Schalkwyk and Leonardo Ghiraldini taking over from Abraham Steyn, George Biagi and Ornel Gega in the pack.
Schmidt described Healy's inclusion in place of his Leinster colleague McGrath as "rotational".
"It was probably something we had planned to do anyway," said the Ireland coach.
"One plays 50 [minutes] and one 30 and vice verse. They both get 80 minutes over the first two weekends."
Schmidt revealed that Henderson had picked a "slight [hamstring] strain" on Tuesday but added that Ryan would "add a bit of value at line-out time" in Rome.
"Donnacha is a pretty good line-out operator. He is a real technician in that area and he's got a good work-rate. Those two things we feel we are going to need this weekend," Schmidt added.
The Irish coach added that wing Trimble was "so close" to being fit but that the management felt playing him too soon could lead to his groin injury flaring up again.
Bowe's concession of a late penalty after coming on as a replacement at Murrayfield helped ensure Scotland's victory and Schmidt believes that the wing will best regain sharpness by playing for Ulster against Edinburgh.
"Tommy was unlucky after coming on. He had to deal with an overlap that we should have done better to shut down further in and therefore he over-reached in the tackle," explained Schmidt.
"He just didn't quite get into the game so hopefully will get a bit of time for Ulster which better prepares him for the challenges that lie ahead.
"Craig Gilroy toured South Africa with us and has been working incredibly hard so we are keen to give him an opportunity."
Italy: E Padovani; A Esposito, T Benvenuti, L McLean, G Venditti; C Canna, E Gori; A Lovotti, L Ghiraldini, L Cittadini; M Fuser, D Van Schalkwyk; M Mbanda, S Favaro, S Parisse.
Replacements: O Gega, S Panico, D Chistolini, G Biagi, A Steyn, G Bronzini, T Allan, M Campagnaro
Ireland: R Kearney; K Earls, G Ringrose, R Henshaw, S Zebo; P Jackson, C Murray; C Healy, R Best (capt), T Furlong; D Ryan, D Toner; CJ Stander, S O'Brien, J Heaslip.
Replacements: N Scannell, J McGrath, J Ryan, U Dillane, J van der Flier, K Marmion, I Keatley, C Gilroy.
Kim Gavin said the ceremony, which will focus on 50 years of British music, would be a "mashed-up symphony".
Runner Mo Farah, bantamweight boxer Luke Campbell and canoeist Ed McKeever added to Team GB's gold medal haul on Saturday.
David Cameron has unveiled plans for competitive team sport to be compulsory in primary schools in England.
Commenting on Farah's double-Olympic glory after he won the 5,000 metres, Mr Cameron said: "Mo Farah is an Olympic legend and a true British hero. We can all be proud of his extraordinary achievement".

At Hyde Park, tens of thousands are gathered in the sun to enjoy the Olympic finale weekend.
They are watching enormous screens with Olympic action on show together with highlights of the golden moments from the past two weeks.
What is noticeable is the range of accents. People from across the UK have travelled here to enjoy the Games atmosphere.
Several told me the Olympics have won them over, their scepticism broken down by the parade of medals.
The biggest cheer so far has been the appearance on stage of the taekwondo gold medallist Jade Jones.
But it is the prospect of more gold ahead that is bringing people in, with the crowd thickening ahead of the men's 5,000 metre race.
Ben Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history with four golds from four Games, will carry the flag for Team GB at the closing ceremony, the British Olympic Association have said.
The closing ceremony, which begins at 21:00 BST on Sunday, will see 3,500 performers in the stadium.
Called the Symphony of British Music, the event will showcase "British creativity in the arts" and take people on a musical journey from Elgar to Waterloo Sunset in 30 tracks, Mr Gavin said.
He explained that while the flags would process in, the athletes would come in as "friends" to form a "mosh pit" for the show.
More seats

In the final weekend of the Olympics, Team GB are seeking to boost their best medal haul for 104 years - Britain has so far won 62 medals, including 28 gold.
The team has already eclipsed its Beijing Olympics total of 19 golds and registered the best medal haul since the 1908 London Olympics.

The Olympic Park is busy now, not the pandemonium seen on days when all venues were up and running with sessions through the day, but enough to conjure a last atmospheric weekend of Olympic spirit.
People are spread out across the parklands watching mountain biking on big screens in the sunshine.
Some have been to see Tom Daley dive in the Aquatics Centre.
Others are here for this evening's athletics, the last sporting hurrah in the stadium before what artistic director Kim Gavin has billed the 'best after-show party', the closing ceremony which follows the conclusion of the sport on Sunday.
Decked in Team GB deeley boppers, inflatable hand, union flag, and 'silly hat', Rebecca Robinson from Carmarthen has sneaked an extra day at the Games to soak up the feeling.
'It's been so welcoming for everybody,' she said. 'If I was from another country I would think 'it's really so friendly' and the people are so nice. I'd have kicked myself if I hadn't been part of it.'

In a swipe at the media, he claimed journalists had "sacked" him three times already this season and would do so again if United lose at Derby.
"Maybe then you have written the truth," said the 64-year-old.
The Dutchman also said speculation he offered to resign after the 1-0 loss to Southampton was "awful and horrible".
United are 10 points behind Premier League leaders Leicester, five points adrift of Tottenham in fourth place and out of the Champions League.
Speaking before Friday's fourth-round match with the side fifth in the Championship, Van Gaal said questions about his future were being asked in a "disrespectful way".

"You make your stories and people believe it," he said at a news conference. "I am concerned they are believing it.
"It is the third time I am sacked and I am still sitting here."
Van Gaal praised the "fantastic" support of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward but said it brought "more pressure" to "fulfil the expectations that they have of you".
The former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss also reiterated his desire to "continue to the end" of his three-year contract, which runs until the finish of the 2016-17 season.
Famously, former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was under pressure three years into the job at Old Trafford when his team faced Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round in January 1990.
It was thought defeat would cost Ferguson his job, but United won 1-0 and he went on to become English football's most successful manager.
Asked whether the FA Cup could become his saviour, former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Ajax boss Van Gaal said: "Of course."
Speaking at the G20 summit in Hamburg, the prime minister said in areas like free trade and counter-terrorism, the UK remained a key international player.
Amid speculation about her future after the election, she said she would take a lead, not "sit back" and be "timid".
She is expected to press President Trump on the Paris climate deal.
As she attends her first gathering of world leaders since the general election, Mrs May has dismissed suggestions that political and economic uncertainty from the UK's decision to leave the EU and speculation about her own future is hampering the UK's effort to lead on the world stage.
She rejected claims by former foreign secretary William Hague that the UK will lose influence on the world stage after Brexit.
"What I see as I talk to leaders around the world is engaging with and working with the UK - new friends and old allies alike - as we leave the EU," she told the BBC's John Pienaar.
"There are no prizes for guessing that the election result did not come out as I hoped it would.
"There are two ways the government can react to that. We either be 'very timid' and sit back or we can be bold and that is what we are going to be.
"We are going to bold because the UK is facing challenges that we need to address."
On the issue of counter-terrorism, the PM will tell leaders that must be no "safe spaces" for terrorist funding in the global financial system, pledging action to track small sums of money used to finance "lone wolf" attacks.
The prime minister said the evolving terror threat needed to be tackled "from every angle", including working will allies in the Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia, which has been accused of supporting extremist groups in the UK - claims it has strongly denied.
"I sit down with Saudi Arabia and others and talk about the issue of terrorist finance," she said.
"What I am doing here at the G20 is raising the need for us to work collectively and internationally to deal with terrorist finance not just on the large sums of money that funding terrorism but also to find ways to work with financial services and banks to identify small-scale transactions that can sometimes lead to terrorist activity."
While world leaders here confront crises from North Korea to climate change, Britain's prime minister faces an additional challenge: maintaining her claim to be numbered among them.
Theresa May used her moment in the spotlight to call for more effort to close down the sources of finance for international terrorism.
That won't be hard for leaders to agree in principle. Much harder for Mrs May to persuade President Trump to rejoin the consensus supporting action against climate change, though she told me she hoped that might be possible.
Her wider mission though, is to prove wrong those who say Brexit will weaken the UK's influence - and to recover from the diminution of authority that followed the June election.
Today, she set out her unwanted choice: "We can be very timid, we can sit back, or we can be bold and that's what we're going to be."
But her comparative weakness is plain to see among the leaders gathered in Hamburg. And the practical task of achieving a Brexit judged successful by her divided country and business leaders can best be described as a work in progress.
New technology and partnerships could help banks and financial technology companies spot suspicious small transfers of cash, she will say, which are hard to identify but must be challenged.
She will also press the need for better information sharing about people known to have travelled to fight in IS-controlled territory - to track them if they attempt to return to their home countries.
Mrs May is expected to raise climate change with US President Donald Trump, stressing that Britain "remains fully committed" to the 2015 Paris climate accord and hoping Mr Trump will reconsider his decision to pull the US out of it.
She told the BBC that she hoped Mr Trump would listen to the G20's "collective message" on the issue.
"I was clear to President Trump how disappointed the UK was that the United States had decided to pull out of the Paris Agreement and also clear that I hope that they will be able to find a way to come back in to the Paris Agreement," she said. "I think that's important for us globally."
The summit will also see Mr Trump meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time. The meeting will take place at 15:45 local time (13:45 GMT) and last for an hour, Russian media report.
Mr Trump met German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday and the pair spent an hour talking about North Korea, the Middle East, the conflict in eastern Ukraine and G20 issues.
There have been clashes between police and protesters in Hamburg ahead of Friday's meeting, Up to 100,000 protesters are expected in the German city.

Police Scotland said a 23-year-old man was driving a yellow Ford Transit on the A71 between Hermiston and Dalmahoy when he noticed a black car driving very closely behind.
When he pulled over, the car driver got out and attacked him, leaving him with a "puncture wound" in his chest.
Police are treating the attack at about 21:15 on Sunday as attempted murder.
The van driver was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where his condition was described as "stable".
The suspect was described a white man with a light brown beard. He was wearing a black hooded top with the hood up and dark gloves.
Det Sgt Martin McKay of Corstorphine CID said: "This was a brutal attack on a member of the public and we are eager to trace the man responsible as soon as possible.
"I would urge anyone who recognises the description of the man, or saw either a black car or a yellow Ford Transit on the A71 around 9.15pm on Sunday, 11 December, to get in touch with us immediately."

Much research in recent years has focused on correcting for scattering, mostly for medical applications.
But the new trick,
reported in Nature Photonics
, is quick, simple and uses natural light rather than lasers.
It uses what is called a spatial light modulator to "undo" the scattering that makes objects opaque or non-reflecting.
A camera that can "see around corners"
garnered much attention in 2010
, using a series of timed laser pulses to illuminate a scene and working out what is around a corner from the timing of the reflections.
The prototype device was just one of a great many research efforts trying to crack the problem of scattering.
But for some applications, the "time-of-flight" approach that the laser-based camera uses is not sufficient.
"If you want to look to see an embryo developing inside an egg but the eggshell scatters everything, or you want to look through the skin, scattering is the main enemy there, and time-of-flight is not a good solution," explained senior author of the study Prof Yaron Silberberg.
For those kinds of problems, Prof Silberberg and his colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have pushed the limits of what spatial light modulators (SLMs) can do.
SLMs modify what is known as the phase of an incoming light beam. Like a series of waves on the ocean that run over rocks or surfers, the waves in light can be slowed down or redirected when they hit scattering materials.
SLMs are made up of an array of pixels that can correct for this by selectively slowing down some parts of the beam and allowing others to pass untouched - when an electric field is applied to a pixel, it changes the speed at which light passes through it.
Prof Silberberg and his team first set up their SLM by shining light from a normal lamp through a highly scattering plastic film and allowing a computer to finely tune the SLM until they could see a clear image of the lamp through the film.
Keeping the SLM set this way, they were then able to obtain clear images of other objects through the film - the SLM effectively turns the film back into a clear sheet.
"What we have shown is that you don't need lasers - everybody else was doing this with lasers, and we showed you can do it with incoherent light from a lamp or the Sun - natural light," Prof Silberberg told BBC News.
But the team then realised that the same approach can work in reflection - that is, not passing through a scattering material but bouncing off of it, such as the case of light bouncing off a wall at a corner.
They then showed the procedure works just as well when the light from an object bounces off a piece of paper; the SLM could "learn" how to undo the paper's scattering effect, making it a nearly perfect reflector.
As Prof Silberberg puts it: "You can take a piece of wall and effectively turn it into a mirror, and this is the part that makes everybody raise an eyebrow."
However, he said that the primary use for the technique will be in biological and medical studies - especially tackling the highly scattering white brain matter in neurological imaging - rather than the business of seeing through thin materials or around corners.
"I don't want to say that it solves the problems of secret organisations and Peeping Toms and so on, that's not going to be so simple. But the principle is there.
"We have not started to tackle these things... but I see how much interest this raises and think maybe we should."
Three cats belonging to the same family - Meow, Squirt and Charlie - died between 17 April-2 May at Risca in Caerphilly county.
A vet's examination confirmed two of the cats had been poisoned with anti-freeze.
Owner Gem Walker said her daughter was "devastated" at the loss of Meow.
"My daughter at one time could only say the word "Meow" - hence the cats name," she said.
The RSPCA said losing the three pets in such a way must have been "heartbreaking" for the family.
Insp Emma Smith said: "It isn't clear whether these incidences in the Risca area were deliberate, or not - but they are clearly a cause for concern.
Ally Calvert collapsed in Abbey Wood, south-east London, on Saturday, and died in hospital two hours later.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for nitrous oxide to be made illegal in the wake of Mr Calvert's death.
But his family have said an underlying heart condition was to blame.
The force said Mr Calvert was believed to have taken nitrous oxide and drank alcohol at a party, but a post-mortem examination had proved "inconclusive".
Further toxicology tests are being carried out, but Mr Calvert's family have said they do not believe the gas was responsible for his death.
In a post shared on social media, one relative wrote: "As a family, we would like to express how overwhelmed we have been with the support for the recent loss of Ally.
"We can now confirm, that the use of balloons/nitrous oxide did not cause the death of our baby, as we originally knew anyway."
They said the underlying heart condition which led to his passing, which was "inevitable" and happened regardless of "where he was, or who he was with at the time".
Friends of the teenager, who described Mr Calvert as "the nicest guy you will ever meet", started a social media campaign titled #AllysBigHeart, in memory of him.
Speaking after Mr Calvert's death, but before the post-mortem result was revealed, Sir Bernard said nitrous oxide use had resulted in a "terrible outcome".
He told BBC London it was "clear" the drug is becoming more popular and called for it to be outlawed.
He said: "When I used to go to Notting Hill Carnival, the canisters were everywhere," he said.
"There's a law going through Parliament about psycho-active substances.
"I suspect it may be one of the substances to be banned."
The expert says it is possible to start the octocopter's engines, engage auto-takeoff, control its camera and, potentially, crash the machine.
He will present his findings at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, and has published a thesis.
The drone's manufacturer has been informed.
However, the researcher told Wired magazine there would be "no easy fix" to the problem, meaning units might have to be recalled for a hardware update.
Nils Rodday is currently a security consultant at IBM, but carried out his research at the Netherlands' University of Twente.
His work focused on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used by the Dutch police force for surveillance.
He said it cost about 20,000 euros ($21,700; £15,400).
It is more expensive than consumer drones because it:
The UAV is also used for power-line inspections, professional photography and agriculture applications
The aircraft's maker lent Mr Rodday a copy of its machine on condition its name was not disclosed.
Mr Rodday focused on its use of a telemetry module fitted with an Xbee radio chip, made by the company Digi International.
The module converts wi-fi commands sent by a computer app into low frequency radio waves, which are then transmitted to another Xbee chip on the drone.
This allows the operator to control it from a greater distance than would otherwise be possible.
To achieve the hack, Mr Rodday required two Xbee chips of his own, among other low-cost components, as well as the use of a computer.
The hack consisted of two parts:
The second step had been relatively easy, Mr Rodday said, because the drone-maker had opted not to make use of Xbee's built-in encryption features.
The reason for this was that they would have extended the lag between the operator sending a command and the drone reacting.
"The whole communication is sent in clear text," wrote Mr Rodday in his thesis.
"As long as the arriving data is syntactically and semantically correct, the data is forwarded to the application."
Countermeasures were possible to prevent such attacks, he added, but they would "require better hardware, which leads to increased production cost".
The drone manufacturer intends to fix the problem when it releases its next-generation model.
But Mr Rodday believes other similar high-end aircraft may also face the same issue.
To raise awareness, he intends to hack a drone on stage at the RSA.
"[I] will make the UAV engine's spin, so the UAV will have to be tied to something heavy during the presentation," he said.
Another expert, who has previously spoken out about the risks that drones pose, said he was concerned.
"That a engineering student could demonstrate how to hack and take control of a larger commercial UAV as part of his masters degree shows both the infancy of this technology and the potential risks presented by the proliferation of these devices," said Prof David Dunn, from the University of Birmingham.
"As this report shows, drones such as this can be commandeered [and] then be stolen, or redirected to crash into a specific target such as a crowd, building or airliner.
"This report, however, raises the more general issue of the risks presented by the development of a new technology, the use of which is way ahead of preparations to regulate, deter, or defend against its potentially malign uses."

Thomas Beaty died 26 hours after an emergency Caesarean section at the Royal Oldham Hospital in April 2014.
His parents Hannah, 33, and Martin, 35, were "saddened" at the hospital's "inevitable" admission.
The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has apologised. It has introduced new guidelines for using forceps.
Greater Manchester North coroner Lisa Hashmi wrote to the trust, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the Department of Health, after his inquest in April.
She stated that guidance on forceps use "at the time of Thomas's birth was found to be ambiguous, misleading and potentially open to misinterpretation".
The Beaty family's solicitors Slater Gordon said the trust, which runs the hospital, admitted the baby died as a result of head injuries sustained from the repeated use of forceps and being pushed back into the womb.
The inquest recorded a narrative verdict.
Mrs Beaty said: "We wanted answers, we wanted the hospital to be accountable for what they had done, but we also wanted change so that other families wouldn't have to go through what happened to us."
"I don't think forceps should be used at all, not if there's even the slightest risk that another baby could suffer like our son," she said.
Gill Harris, chief nurse at trust, said: "We have introduced a maternity services improvement plan.
"We have introduced new guidelines around the use of forceps during delivery and the staff involved have been retrained."
The trust said the NHS Litigation Authority had admitted liability in a letter to the Beaty family's solicitor. | A 31-year old man, who admitted causing the death of County Tyrone student Enda Dolan by dangerous driving, is to be sentenced next month.

Glenn Mangham, 26, admitted hacking into the social networking site between April and May, when he appeared at Southwark Crown Court.
The action caused American authorities to fear an industrial espionage attack.
Mangham, of Cornlands Road, York, had shown the search engine Yahoo how to improve its security and wanted to do it for Facebook, the court heard.
Prosecutor Sandip Patel said the defendant's actions caused concern among a number of American authorities including the FBI.
Mangham's actions were the "most effective and egregious example of hacking into social media that has come before a British court", he told the court.
Mangham downloaded his own computer programmes on to Facebook's servers and saved "highly sensitive intellectual property" on to an external drive so he could work on it off line.
"It required considerable expertise," said Mr Patel.
In a statement to BBC News, Facebook said: "This attack did not involve an attempt to compromise or access user data."
Facebook discovered the infiltration during a system check even though the defendant deleted his electronic footprint to cover his tracks, the prosecutor said.
Mr Mangham's defence lawyer Tom Ventham said his client was an ethical hacker who had a "high moral stance" and Yahoo had "rewarded" him for pointing out its vulnerabilities previously.
"That was his plan here but the activity was found by accident," said Mr Ventham.
He added that when Mangham was arrested he made a "copious" admission to police about what he had done.

A good pass by Sean Ward set up Blues striker Andrew Waterworth who shot past keeper Stefan McCusker for his 30th goal of the season in the 17th minute.
Linfield missed chances to extend their lead and Adam Leckey stabbed in a 57th-minute equaliser.
But seconds later United's Ryan Morris sliced in for a decisive own goal.
The own goal was a cruel way for Whitey Anderson's side to lose.
Morris attempted to clear Kirk Millar's low ball in from the right, but miskicked in front of goal.
Battling Ballinamallard, needing points to ease their relegation worries and winners of a League Cup tie at Linfield earlier in the season, were in no mood to make life easy for David Healy's side.
They almost equalised near the end from a free-kick into the box but Stephen O'Flynn's header stuck the far post.
Home fans became frustrated as their side struggled to get on top, but in the end the crucial three points were secured.

Prosecutors said the 25-year-old suffocated Caylee in 2008 because she kept her back from a life of partying.
At first she said the girl was kidnapped by a nanny, then at trial said she drowned in a swimming pool. But a jury cleared her of the most serious charges.
The case gripped the US since Caylee, from Orlando, Florida, vanished.
Casey Anthony was found guilty of four counts of lying to law enforcement officers and is to be sentenced on Thursday.
Anthony, wearing a pink button-down shirt and her hair tied back in a pony-tail, wept when the not guilty verdict was read.
Later, Anthony hugged supporters and managed a smile as she waited in the courtroom to be fingerprinted.
Caylee's skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area about one-quarter of a mile from the family home, six months after she was last seen.
But a doctor called to give evidence was unable to give an exact cause of death, and prosecutors were unable to provide evidence linking Ms Anthony to the body.
Prosecutors called witnesses who said forensic evidence showed Anthony had carried the child's dead body in the boot of her car, and said examinations of her computer showed she had searched the internet for information about chloroform.
Defence lawyers managed to instil in the jury a sense they could not find Anthony guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" - the standard for criminal convictions in the US, analysts said.
In a news conference after the verdict was read, members of Anthony's legal team praised prosecutors as worthy and dedicated adversaries and criticised the death penalty - which could have been imposed if the most serious charge was proved.
He also attacked news media outlets and figures they said had found Anthony guilty before the case was heard.
Cheney Mason condemned "those of you who have indulged in media assassination", and attacked lawyers who appear on TV chat shows to discuss cases they "don't know a damned thing about".

A training camp, or compound used by the pro-government Popular Resistance militia, was hit, reports say.
So-called Islamic State said it carried out the attack.
It comes amid a fresh push to end Yemen's 17-month-old war between Saudi-backed government and rebels that the UN says has left 6,600 people dead.
Some 2.5 million Yemenis have also been displaced.
IS's self-styled news agency Amaq said the group had carried out Monday's attack.
Meanwhile, the government and rebels have responded positively to a new Gulf-backed initiative to end the conflict.
The plan, announced last week by the US, calls for the withdrawal of Shia Houthi rebels from the capital, Sanaa, and talks on forming a unity government.
The rebels said they were prepared to restart negotiations, provided the Saudi-led coalition stopped attacking and laying siege to territories held by them.
The latest round of peace talks in Kuwait collapsed earlier this month.
The Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes in Yemen since March 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
The campaign began after the Houthi rebels, backed by supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, took over parts of the country, including Sanaa, forcing the government into exile.
The government and its allies have since retaken Aden. Saudi Arabia says the Houthis are supported financially and militarily by its regional rival Iran - something Tehran denies.
The blaze broke out at Southampton's SeaCity Museum on Havelock Road at about 12:25 BST on Tuesday.
The fire service said a wooden model caught fire. Hampshire Constabulary said the till in the cafe was also broken into and cash stolen.
Visitors and staff were evacuated from the building but no-one was injured, the force added.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The £15m museum opened in April 2012 and is dedicated to Southampton's maritime heritage and the Titanic which made its ill-fated voyage from the city in 1912.
The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a £4.9m grant towards the cost of the museum - the rest of the money came from the city council.
The Women's European Championship qualifier was scheduled for Cardiff's Sport Wales National Centre.
The fixture was first called off in early March after the Kosovan team had their visa applications denied.
"It is disappointing," said chairman of Table Tennis Wales, Bernard Carter.
Mr Carter said this time the visas had been approved, but delays with travel documents meant the Kosovan team had not been able to travel.
It has proved a frustrating and costly situation for the sport in Wales with number one Charlotte Carey having flown in from Sweden for the clash and protégée, 10-year-old Anna Hursey, set to make her senior international debut.
Mr Carter added: "It's frustrating, a real mess-up to be honest, it's difficult to rearrange these fixtures, but we are determined it will go ahead in the future."

BBC South East understands the Army has been asked to put contingency plans in place to ensure commuters get to work if the disruption continues.
Military leave could be cancelled and soldiers asked to drive buses carrying passengers in the worst hit areas.
The Ministry of Defence said it had no plans to deploy military personnel in response to the strikes.
Paul Cox, of the RMT union, said there was "no need" to call in soldiers.
"It's ridiculous to use the Army when the government could easily settle the dispute," he said.
The ongoing dispute between Southern and the RMT and Aslef unions over driver-only-operated trains started in April, leading to the worst disruption on the railways for 20 years and affecting hundreds of thousands of commuters.
If the Army is drafted in to help out, it would be reminiscent of the firefighters' strike 14 years ago when Army personnel operated Green Goddess appliances.
Figures published by the Mayor of London on Thursday revealed 57% of trains on Southern's Mainline and Coast line arrived at their destination on time in the five weeks to 10 December.
The figures also showed 62% of trains across all Govia's franchises, which include Govia Thameslink train services and the Gatwick Express, arrived at their destination on time in the same five weeks.
Three further strike days are planned at the end of this month, and six during the second week of January.
Paul Maynard, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport said the government was "closely liaising with the Confederation of Passenger Transport to see how bus and coach operators could assist with providing alternative transport".

That El Nino played havoc with world weather systems and was blamed for several extreme weather events.
The current El Nino has been linked to several floods and unusually warm conditions in the northern hemisphere.
The phenomenon sees warm waters of the central Pacific expand eastwards towards North and South America.
El Nino is a naturally occurring weather episode which happens every two to seven years.
It usually peaks late in the calendar year, although the effects can persist well into the following spring and last up to 12 months.
Nasa says the current El Nino "shows no signs of waning", based on the latest satellite image of the Pacific Ocean.
It bears "a striking resemblance" to one from December 1997, the agency says, "the signature of a big and powerful El Nino".
Strongest El Nino since 1950 on the way
Matt McGrath: 'High impacts' from globally stronger El Nino
Worries over humanitarian impact
This year's El Nino has been linked to the worst floods seen in 50 years in Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
The floods there have forced more than 150,000 people from their homes - more than 100,000 of them in the Paraguayan capital alone.
In the US, 13 people have died in the US state of Missouri as a result of flooded rivers after tornadoes and storms hit the region.
A five-mile (8km) section of the Mississippi River near St Louis was closed to vessels as a result of the "hazardous conditions" that have been caused.
El Nino has also been cited as a factor in the floods that have hit northern parts of the UK, forcing thousands from their homes and leaving thousands more without power.
Storm Frank, which is expected to bring fresh rain and flooding to the UK this week, is part of a weather system causing unusually high temperatures in the Arctic.
One weather buoy near the North Pole has measured a temperature above freezing - almost unheard of at this time of year, when the normal figure is about -25C (-13F).
Astonishing spike at North Pole: BBC science editor David Shukman
One of the most bizarre side-effects of the current turbulence in the global weather is that even at the roof of the world, at what is meant to be the coldest time of the year in the northern hemisphere, the North Pole itself is unusually warm.
There are no instruments there at the moment to provide exact readings but US weather buoys, drifting with the ice slightly to the south, have recorded the extraordinary fact of temperatures nudging just above zero. And the Norwegian weather service estimates temperatures there to be around -2C.
Either way, that is astonishingly warm given the average temperature for the time of year, which is around -25C.
The spike in warmth will not last long but may conceivably act as a brake on the usual process of the growth of winter ice in the Arctic. And it certainly serves as a reminder of the power and reach of Storm Frank, which is currently battering the UK, as the swirl of winds around it has pushed warm air northwards.
Higher temperatures than the seasonal average have been noted in many parts of Europe and the US.
Average temperatures on Christmas Day in France were the second highest on record, just below those of 1997.
The mild weather has forced farmers to harvest crops such as salad, strawberries and asparagus early, with reports of large amounts of produce going to waste.
Desperation in one French ski resort at the lack of snow led to 100 tons of snow being airlifted in by helicopter.
In Italy, experts say the unusually calm and dry weather has exacerbated pollution over the cities of Milan and Rome.
By contrast, in Mexico El Nino is being blamed for freezing temperatures in the north of the country, with snow seen in parts of the Sonoran desert for the first time in 33 years. Three deaths have been blamed on the cold in Sonora state.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has stressed that El Nino is not the only factor driving global climate patterns but said the implications of the weather systems in a warmer world are uncertain.
"This naturally occurring El Nino event and human-induced climate change may interact and modify each other in ways which we have never before experienced, " WMO secretary general Michael Jarraud said last month.
"Even before the onset of El Nino, global average surface temperatures had reached new records. El Nino is turning up the heat even further," he said.
The Commission on School Reform's challenge paper was concerned the plan was "exceptionally ambitious" and the timescale may be "unrealistic".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said improving attainment was a priority.
Her government has committed more than £100m to help schools in the most disadvantaged areas.
In September, it was announced that a new system of national testing was to be introduced in primary schools as part of her new programme for government.
The Commission For School Reform was established by think tank Reform Scotland and the Centre for Scottish Public Policy.
It said: "While it is good to be ambitious, there is no evidence to suggest that what is being attempted is feasible."
Chairman Keir Bloomer, a former director of education, said: "The Scottish government are right to focus on the twin objectives of raising overall attainment and simultaneously closing the gap between the attainment of disadvantaged children and those from more affluent backgrounds.
"However, it is time for government to adopt clear strategies to achieve those valid ambitions."
The commission outlined a number of challenges for the Scottish government and asked it to:
The report said: "Government has set out policy priorities with which few people will disagree. However, they are exceptionally ambitious. Timescales may well be unrealistic.
"The potential tension between raising standards for all and boosting the prospects of disadvantaged young people do not seem to have been fully explored.
"The commission is not persuaded that the strategies and support mechanisms that will be needed for success are yet in place.
"Attention does not seem to have been given to developing effective change mechanisms."
Mr Bloomer added: "In this, the first of a series of challenge papers, we want to prompt a new sense of urgency in government thinking.
"We can transform our educational performance through concerted action to close the gap in attainment, drive up professional standards in teaching and empower schools to respond successfully to local educational needs."
Scottish Labour said the gap between the richest and the rest in Scotland's classrooms must be closed. It also condemned the Scottish government's record on education saying it was "one to be ashamed of".
The Scottish Conservatives said the commission's report was a "stark message" from "well-respected educationalists" about the "serious issues" affecting Scottish schools.
The Liberal Democrats said "inadequate action" from the SNP government was "failing those children most in need".
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "Our commitment to close the attainment gap between children from the most and least deprived communities is generating discussion all across Scotland about how we might achieve this absolute priority for the Scottish government.
"The contribution of ideas to this debate is welcome."
The forward, 25, joined the Cod Army last summer and scored 11 goals in 44 games, finishing with the winner in the final day win against Crewe Alexandra.
His efforts helped secure Fleetwood's status in the third tier, at the expense of Blackpool and Doncaster.
"I'm keen to stay, I'm not shy to say that," Grant told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"I want to be a part of it, if I can, and score more goals next season because I should have scored more this season.
"If I'm part of the journey for however long to come I'll be happy."
Grant's relationship with manager Steven Pressley was described by the Scottish boss as "love-hate".
Pressley publicly criticised the Liverpool-born player for a "disrespectful" attitude to being substituted earlier in the season but he says there is no ongoing issue.
"I know that there's been several things said in the media, but if you ask Bobby he'll tell you we have a great relationship," Pressley said.
"He understands the boundaries, he's an emotional player but I like that."
Grant added: "It's two personalities that are going to clash, two fiery characters that want to win.
"It's two people who want the best for each other and that's what we have.
"As long as we understand we both want to go forward and want to win that will happen."
Drivers at Argos's main distribution centre had voted on Tuesday to strike for three days from 20 December.
The industrial action has now been called off, pending another union vote, after a pay deal was struck during talks.
An Argos spokesman reassured customers that it was "business as usual this Christmas".
The drivers work for Wincanton, a logistics firm used by Argos to make deliveries from its national distribution centre near Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
They had claimed Wincanton failed to pay holiday back pay for two years, amounting to an average of £700.
"I would like to thank our members for the solidarity they have shown during this dispute and we look forward to a positive relationship with the management at Wincanton going forward," said Unite regional officer Rick Coyle.
The Burton-on-Trent site supplies Argos's other warehouses that then deliver to Argos shops.
A Wincanton spokesperson said: "All industrial action has now been suspended pending a ballot on the terms of the agreement among Unite members, and at this important time of year, the Argos business will be unaffected."
Argos was taken over by Sainsbury's earlier this year.
Yannick Borel, Gauthier Grumier, Daniel Jerent and Jean-Michel Lucenay clinched a 45-31 victory to give France a seventh gold medal of the Games.
They won at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, reasserting their dominance in Brazil after the event did not feature in London in 2012.
Hungary won bronze with a 39-35 win against world champions Ukraine.

The Guernsey States-owned airline has also received the first of its Dornier 228 planes to replace the trislanders currently operating the route.
Aurigny has been criticised for problems with the trislanders causing delays and cancellations to flights.
Mark Darby, chief executive officer, said the Let 410 would be used while training took place on the Dornier.
He said it was to "see us through the introductory period of the Dornier and to provide an additional aircraft in the event of the trislanders needing any maintenance'.
The Dornier 228 is the first of two being leased from Portuguese airline, Grupo 7.
Mr Darby said the delay in the Dornier's arrival was a "frustrating experience", but added a "vital technical modification needed to be made" to improve the plane's reliability in all weathers.
He said the Dornier was faster than the trislanders and should cut 15 minutes off flight times to Southampton and could carry 19 people, three more than the trislanders.
Mr Darby said the intention was to have three Dorniers in place as soon as practical.
He said the change would have no impact on the medivac service the company provides.
The 21-year-old has risen through the club's youth ranks and made his senior debut against Southampton in 2014.
He has now made 53 league appearances for the League One side, with a single goal against Shrewsbury in April 2016.
Thompson told the club website: "I love it here. I love playing here. It's a great club and a great place to play your football. Long may it continue."
Millwall, who are 10th in League One and five points outside the promotion play-off zone, host 12th-placed Walsall on Wednesday.
In 1961 Antonio Imbert Barrera was a senior official in the government of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo and plotted with 10 others to assassinate him.
President Trujillo's death ended 31 years of bloody dictatorship.
Only Imbert and one other survived the aftermath.
Read: 'I shot the cruellest dictator in the Americas'
Imbert, who was 93 when he died, also took part in a US-backed coup in 1963 against the leftist President Juan Bosch.
He later formed part of a military junta established after the coup and was declared president in 1965.
He also helped fight off the insurrection which aimed at returning Juan Bosch to power, which eventually sparked a US invasion.
Imbert was himself shot by followers of Trujillo in 1967, but survived.
The implication being that if it was not, it was a bad thing to do - obviously. And if it was "legal", well that is OK then, even if Prime Minister David Cameron says it was "morally wrong".
Unfortunately, tax is a bit more complicated than that.
Tax evasion is the illegal thing. It happens when people deliberately do not pay the tax they should. It is criminal.
Tax avoidance is the arrangement of a taxpayer's affairs in such a way as to pay the least amount of tax legitimately.
A fine line? Some would say so.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is referring to K2 in the category of tax avoidance, so let us concentrate on that.
Just because a scheme is classed as tax avoidance does not mean it is all right.
Usually, it has to be registered with HMRC, so they can check if it complies with tax rules.
If HMRC decides it is not acceptable, then the taxpayer would have to hand over all the unpaid tax along with interest and, possibly, penalties.
Basically, officials treat the underpayment of tax as a mistake.
It could be that the scheme takes advantage of some obscure loophole. In that case the tax people would get the Treasury to change the law, but the scheme's users would get away scot free until such an order was made.
So the Jimmy Carr ruse is not being talked about by the authorities as illegal, but that does not mean he - and the others who are or were signed up to it - will not have to pay back the tax.
HMRC's line is that K2 is being investigated.
Another phrase being bandied about is "tax abuse" which, confusingly, can be applied to both evasion and avoidance.
A tax avoidance scheme which HMRC finds to be a blatantly artificial construction to dodge tax could be an abuse.
There will soon be a
General Anti-Abuse Rule
to deter this sort of dodging. Some accountants say it will "kill it stone dead", others that it will just lead to more complicated disputes.
Under operation "Safe Homeland", 3,000 soldiers will patrol the streets of the capital Caracas and other cities.
President Maduro said the plan would bring peace to Venezuela, which has one of the highest homicide rates in South America.
The opposition has long criticised the government's record on crime, and used it as a campaign issue in recent polls.
The government says more than 16,000 people were killed in crimes in 2012, a rate of 54 per 100,000.
However the Venezuela Violence Observatory, a campaign group, put last year's murder rate much higher - at 73 per 100,000 people.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who is contesting Mr Maduro's narrow victory in last month's presidential election, highlighted crime rates during the campaign.
Under the operation Safe Homeland soldiers will patrol the country's 79 most crime ridden areas - including four in Caracas.
Speaking on Monday, Mr Maduro said his government was "revising every aspect to build a peaceful country."
Last year, the government introduced a new gun law banning the sale of firearms and ammunition.
Crime figures have been rising steadily since the late president Hugo Chavez took office in 1999.
The victim was targeted as she walked along Balmoral Road in Dumfries at about 14:50 on New Year's Day.
The cyclist snatched the woman's handbag, knocking her to the ground, before cycling off.
The woman was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary where she was treated for fractures to her arm.
Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage of the area and have appealed for information.
Det Sgt Colin McKinstry said: "Targeting an elderly woman as she walks along the street is a despicable act and it's imperative we trace the person responsible.
"We know from our inquiries carried out so far that several people stopped to assist the lady and I am appealing to them and anyone else who was in the vicinity at the time of the incident to contact us.
"The information you provide could prove vital in helping us trace the person responsible and holding them to account for their cowardly act."
The suspect was riding a dark bike and was dressed in dark clothing with a hood up. It is not known whether they were male or female.
Smoke could be seen billowing out of the three-carriage train at the old railway station in Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
The engine at the front of the train set alight, the fire service said. Operator Vivarail said it was a test train and all staff were safe.
National Rail's website said trains would not run between Coventry and Leamington Spa for the rest of the day.
Services between Manchester Piccadilly and Bournemouth will divert via Solihull and not call at Birmingham International and Coventry.
More from Coventry and Warwickshire
Freelance rail journalist Fraser Pithie, who had gone down to watch the test, said the train was a recently converted London Underground test train, which had been running up and down the lines when it came to a halt at Kenilworth.
"The reason it came to a halt is that that there was a fire in the underside of the train where the equipment is," he said.
There was a considerable amount of smoke, he said, and it was too early to tell what had caused the fire - or the extent of the damage.
Vivarail had been testing the train with a view to providing extra seating on the route between Coventry and Nuneaton, Mr Pithie added.
Vivarail said the planned trial on the Coventry to Nuneaton line would be postponed.
A spokesman said the fire started in one of the detachable engine modules on one of the power cars of the class 230 train.
Everyone got off the train safely and the train will be moved to the engine depot at Tyseley.
"Until it is possible to access the engine module the cause of the fire cannot be determined," the spokesman added.
"A thorough investigation will take place in conjunction with the Railway Accident Investigation Bureau and whatever steps necessary will be undertaken."
George Osborne added that it would be "extraordinary" not to engage with US pharmaceutical giant.
Pfizer's chairman Ian Read says the proposal is a "win-win for society".
Labour said the firm's promises regarding the proposed deal were "not worth the paper they are written on".
Some fear the currently-rejected deal could jeopardise Britain's science and medical industries.
Four British scientific bodies - the Society of Biology, Biochemical Society, British Pharmacological Society and Royal Society of Chemistry - have warned that recent mergers and acquisitions have led to lab closures, threatening the research base.
AstraZeneca has eight sites in the UK and about 6,700 employees.
Pfizer offered £63bn for the UK pharmaceutical firm on 2 May. If the deal were to go ahead, it would be the biggest takeover in UK corporate history.
AstraZeneca's board said the offer - the second Pfizer has made - was too low, and that it believed a major driver for the takeover was the move to establish a tax residence in the UK by changing its company structure.
MPs will investigate the proposed takeover deal next week.
Mr Osborne told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "My job is to create both a really competitive place for businesses to come to Britain and create jobs in Britain. And we're seeing those jobs being created.
"But I'm also, on the specifics, prepared to get in the room and have a hard negotiation with very large companies and be very, very, hard-nosed about what we want to deliver in terms of good British science and good British jobs."
Pfizer has said it would relocate large parts of its business to the UK if the deal goes through. It has also suggested it wants to invest in research which could create more jobs.
BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed said Britain was highly attractive because of its low corporation tax levels and the tax incentives for scientific research.
In a series of videos posted on Pfizer's website, Mr Read said the proposed takeover was motivated by "three components of value", including combining some of the companies' products and improving efficiency.
"I think both companies have strategies that are aimed at growing and aimed at meeting patients' needs," he said.
"I believe that by combining these two companies we strengthen those possibilities. We strengthen the ability to bring products to patients. We strengthen the financial aspects of the company."
He added: "We can invest in science. I see this as a win-win for society, a win-win for shareholders, and a win-win for stakeholders."
The government has powers to veto certain deals, such as those involving defence and media companies, and apply a "public interest test". But this is rare, and its scope to intervene is also limited by the European Commission.
Prime Minister David Cameron told the Commons this week that Pfizer's assurances - including retaining at least 20% of the combined companies' research and development workforce in the UK for at least five years and basing its European HQ in Britain - were "encouraging".
But he said he was "not satisfied" with them and wanted the firm to do more.
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna MP said the assurances Pfizer had given ministers were "not worth the paper they are written on," as it had refused to rule out breaking up AstraZeneca in the future.
"The government could act immediately to work to put in place a stronger public interest test encompassing cases with an impact on strategic elements of our science base and seek a proper, independent assessment of the potential takeover as Labour has called for. Instead, ministers have sat on their hands," he said.
Mr Read and AstraZeneca chief executive Pascal Soriot will be questioned by the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee on Tuesday morning.
They will then face MPs on the Science and Technology Committee on Wednesday, when Science Minister David Willetts will also be asked about the government's position.
AstraZeneca employs more than 51,000 staff worldwide, with 6,700 in the UK. Pfizer - whose drugs include Viagra - has a global workforce of more than 70,000, with 2,500 in the UK.

The technology was first shown off in 2015, when Israeli start-up StoreDot demonstrated its FlashBattery at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.
Chief executive Doron Myersdorf told the BBC it is now expected to enter production in early 2018.
However, Ben Wood, a technology analyst at CCS Insight, said he had doubts about the claims.
Mr Myersdorf said he could not reveal which manufacturers were signed up to use the technology.
In 2015, he told the BBC his firm's battery contained materials that allowed for "non-traditional" reactions and the unusually fast transfer of ions from an anode to a cathode - the electrical process that charges a battery.
The design involves nanomaterials, which feature extremely small structures, and - unnamed - organic compounds.
Some versions of the battery were thicker than most smartphone batteries at the time, but now Mr Myersdorf has claimed it is ready for the market.
"We will charge a smartphone in five minutes," he said.
He added that the technology was in pilot production at two Asian battery makers and that "mass production" was expected to commence in the first quarter of 2018.
Mr Wood, while remaining unconvinced whether the rollout would happen as quickly as claimed, did admit that if the battery worked as planned, then it could be a major moment in the industry.
"Taking risks with battery technology can bite you," he told the BBC. "I would say that experience has taught me to always remain sceptical. Let's see if it happens would be my view."
He pointed out, for example, that any design that generates large amounts of heat can impact the performance of the battery.
However, he added that anyone who did manage to crack the "battery problem" could have a transformational effect on consumer electronics.
Other manufacturers are also working on quick-charging battery tech.
In November, Qualcomm announced its Quick Charge 4 system, for example, that offers five hours of battery life following a five-minute charge.
StoreDot also unveiled an electric car battery that charges in five minutes at a tech show in Berlin this week.
The firm said the battery provides 300 miles of range.
A demonstration of the technology was given at the Cube Tech Fair - though the short presentation ended before the battery had finished charging.
"We don't have contracts but we are working with car companies to develop the battery - this will take another three years or so to be on the road," said Mr Myersdorf.
By contrast, Elon Musk's electric vehicle firm Tesla says its Supercharger technology takes 75 minutes to fully charge the battery in one of the firm's cars, such as a Model S for example.
A 30-minute charge would allow for 170 miles of range with the same system.
"Consumers want charge times similar to filling up their cars at a petrol station," said Joe Kempton, an analyst at Canalys.
But real applications would depend on "whether the technology can be produced at a large enough scale" and at the right cost, he added.

The former Manchester United and Sunderland defender, 37 is being released by Blackburn Rovers, who opted against offering a new deal after relegation from the Championship.
"It's not something that's pressing, immediate or close," Artell said.
"It's something we may visit depending what happens in the next few weeks."
Artell added that the League Two club must decide whether Manchester-born Brown, who has made 456 career appearances, would be the right signing given his age.
"Should he be on our list? Give me a good reason why he wouldn't be," said Artell.
"Is he right for us at 37? That would be the big question mark, I suppose. But he certainly ticks all the other boxes.
"We've got other priorities at the moment in other positions, but when we get around to looking at centre-halves, we'll consider Wes along with the others."
Artell has already lost defenders Jon Guthrie and Ollie Turton this summer, while captain George Ray, 23, is also out of contract.
Being under 24, the club would receive compensation if Ray chose to move elsewhere but Artell is confident that Ray will accept an offer of a new two-year deal.
Artell has added Carlisle defender Michael Raynes to his squad.
His other two signings are strikers - Chris Porter from Colchester United and Jordan Bowery, who has made a more permanent move to Gresty Road after finishing last season on loan from Leyton Orient.
According to the Department of Health, every time someone fails to turn up for a hospital appointment it costs the health service about £108.
Newly published hospital statistics show that about 147,500 patients did not keep their appointments last year.
Those patients also failed to alert staff in advance that they would not attend, meaning resources were wasted.
Considering £1m could employ 35 full-time nurses, or allow 150 people to have their hip operation, health service commissioners would argue that the public should be more responsible.
The statistics also show there was a slight rise in the number of outpatient appointments being cancelled by hospitals.
A Department of Health spokesperson called on the health board and health trusts to do all they can to minimise the level of appointments cancelled by consultants.
There has also been a notable increase in the number of people being admitted to hospitals in Northern Ireland.
Since 2011, admissions are up by 4.3% or more than 25,000 people.
In spite of the increase, there are almost 700 fewer hospital beds across the system.
Canadian firm Barrick Gold said it would temporarily suspend production at its Pierina mine following the clash.
The protesters are demanding that the firm provide nearby towns with water.
Pressure group Human Rights Watch has called on Peruvian President Ollanta Humala to stop police from using lethal force against protesters.
At least 19 people have died in disputes over natural resources since President Humala came to office in July 2011, according to figures released by Human Rights Watch.
Human Rights Watch demanded that Mr Humala ban the security forces from using live ammunition at demonstrations and to provide them with other, non-lethal weapons to control crowds.
'Water wars'
The latest clashes erupted on Wednesday when police tried to clear protesters from a road they had blocked leading to the Pierina gold mine near Huaraz.
The protesters from the nearby community of Mareniyoc blame the mining company for a worsening water shortage and demand the firm supply them with drinking water.
Mine official Gonzalo Quijandria said the company had offered residents water from a purification plant, but that their offer had been rejected.
"The community does not want to use water that comes from the mine, even though it's treated and certified," he said.
The protesters told local media they believed the water was contaminated and complained about being ignored by mine officials.
Mr Quijandria said that the issue of water supply was "a problem outside our [the mine's] control".
According to Peru's human rights agency, there are more than 200 disputes over natural resources in Peru, many of them involving access to water and allegations of pollution by mining companies.
The BBC's Mattia Cabitza in Lima says mining is a huge revenue earner for Peru, but that ongoing social and environmental conflicts are threatening to delay billions of dollars of investment.
The incident, between J36 Bridgend and J37 Pyle, happened on Tuesday just before 15:00 GMT.
Highways officials say the repairs are being carried out but they will not be finished before Wednesday morning.
The ceremony saw 104 bodies returned home from Saudi Arabia. Iran says at least 464 of its nationals were killed.
The Saudi authorities put the total death toll at 769 but foreign media reports and officials put the figure at well over 1,000.
Tehran has blamed the incident on Saudi "mismanagement".
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has accused Iran of "playing politics" with the disaster, calling on Tehran to await the outcome of an investigation.
Speaking at the repatriation ceremony, Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, said the tragedy was a "big test" for everyone.
"In this incident, our language has been that of fraternity and respect," he said.
"When required, we have used the language of diplomacy. If needed, the Islamic Republic of Iran will also use language of power."
The crush happened as two large groups of pilgrims converged as they were taking part in one of the Hajj's major rites.
The Saudi authorities have not released a breakdown of victims by nationality.
BBC Monitoring puts the death toll at 1,216, based on official statements and media reports from 34 countries who lost citizens in the stampede.
During 2015, 1.03 million customers moved their bank account to another provider, compared with 1.15 million in 2014.
The drop in numbers comes in spite of a high profile publicity campaign last September.
However, the Current Account Switching Service (CASS) said more people switched in the last quarter of 2015.
CASS was launched in September 2013, to promote more competition between banks, and better deals for customers.
"These figures show customer apathy towards current account switching remains entrenched," said Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at price comparison site Uswitch.
"A quicker, more efficient switch alone is not enough to encourage customers to change banks or to improve competition."
However, CASS said switching rates improved by 11% in the last quarter of 2015, as a result of the media campaign.
And it said more people were aware of the service than previously.
In October, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that people could save at least £70 a year if they changed their current account provider.
Research among 30,000 eight- to 16-year-old pupils finds a third of boys never or rarely write for fun outside class, compared with 18% of girls.
A third of girls write daily, it says, compared with 21% of boys.
The Department for Education says the gap in boys' and girls' writing ability at age 11 has been narrowing.
But the Trust warns that some boys' reluctance to pick up a pencil could be hampering their chances of reaching their potential.
It cites evidence that those who write for fun outside school are four times more likely to be writing above the expected level at the end of primary school than those who do not.
At the other end, nine times as many children and young people who do not enjoy writing at all, write below the expected level compared with those who enjoy writing very much.
And this is reflected in the achievement gap between boys and girls.
Last year, the gap was widest between boys and girls in writing assessment where 81% of boys achieved Level 4 (the expected standard at age 11) or above compared with 90% of girls.
However, as the DfE points out, the gap has narrowed since 2012 on this achievement, from 76% of boys reaching the expected standard and 87% of girls.
Perhaps most worryingly, a significant number of boys appear to think writing is not "cool".
A fifth of boys said they would be embarrassed if their friends saw them write. This compares with 12% of girls, the research said.
But the study also suggests boys' attitudes to writing becomes more negative as they enter secondary school.
Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust, says we must focus on increasing boys' frequency and enjoyment of writing if we are to support them to succeed at school and throughout their lives.
"There are lots of ways in which teachers and parents can make writing fun for children. Setting challenges or giving children a purpose for writing such as writing a shopping list or Christmas card can hook them into doing it more regularly.
"Whether it's writing about a football match or their favourite X Factor contestant - giving children a topic which they feel passionate about can really inspire them to get into writing more.
"Supporting children to write daily for fun can have a lasting impact on their attitudes, motivation and enjoyment, which in turn helps to boost attainment - as our research shows."
The DfE said as a result of its plan for education, and the dedication of teachers, "thousands more children are leaving primary school able to read and write at the expected level for their age, helping young people go on to get jobs and build a better future".
The federal prosecutor said that an attack could not be ruled out if further suspects felt cornered.
Anti-terror police are holding two brothers and found guns, ammunition and police uniforms during raids in Brussels.
"We're still searching for various terror suspects after last night's raids," said Eric Van der Sypt.
"We fear that they will feel driven into a corner after the raids. We're also afraid of the same reaction as the 22 March," the federal prosecutor told public broadcaster VTM.
Thirty-two people died in bombings in March 2016 at Brussels airport and a city metro station. Mr Van der Sypt said there was no indication yet that a similar attack had been planned.
No details were given of the suspects still on the run and Belgian officials said the terror alert would remain at three, the second highest level. Last month, a man set off a bomb at Brussels Central Station before being shot dead by soldiers.
Three Kalashnikov assault rifles, ammunition, detonators and a riot gun were seized during police raids in the Anderlecht area of Brussels on Wednesday.
Across the border in France, raids also took place in a suburb of the northern city of Lille and a man was detained.
Police were also alarmed by the discovery of uniforms belonging to police and other security agencies. Police union president Vincent Gilles said the suspects may have been planning to attack the public or a police station.
The two brothers detained by Belgian police have been linked to a motorcycle gang called the Kamikaze Riders, whose members have been caught up in previous alleged plots, including an alleged plan to target the capital on New Year's Eve in 2015.
The switch to Cardiff comes as Swansea City host Middlesbrough at the ground in the Premier League on the same day.
The Swans' game was moved to a Sunday by television broadcasters.
Paul Clement's side kick off at 13:30 GMT while Ospreys are due to face Stade later that day at 17:45 GMT.
There had been uncertainty over where Ospreys would play their quarter-final tie after they qualified as top seeds for the knock-out stages of European club rugby's second-tier competition.
Tournament organisers European Professional Club Rugby had confirmed the dates and times of all eight quarter-finals in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup.
Ospreys were forced to look at contingency plans away from the Liberty Stadium with the possibility of Swansea's game against relegation rivals Middlesbrough being switched to Sunday to be televised live.
The Principality Stadium and the Cardiff City Stadium were options but it understood Ospreys reluctant to move the match against the French side to the closer venue of Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli.
"It's a positive move. It's our first home European quarter-final and a huge match. We looked at all the options on the table," Ospreys commercial manager Huw Warren told BBC Wales Sport.
"Clearly it's the best option both for on the field with Steve [Tandy, head coach] and the team but it's also a commercial opportunity for us in Cardiff for what is a massive game.
"Ultimately it's a massive opportunity for us as a brand to take the game there and hopefully our supporters understand and come and support us."
The campaign, known as Operation Torus, ran from 5 September until 31 October.
During that time police carried out 674 searches and made 586 drugs seizures.
Three hundred and seventy-three people were arrested and of those, 279 were either charged or reported to the Public Prosecution Service.
Acting Det Ch Supt Andrea McMullan, from the PSNI's reactive and organised crime branch, described the operation as a "great success".
"In the eight weeks of the operation we have removed over £3.3 million worth of drugs from our streets," she said.
"Street-level drug dealing is happening across all districts throughout Northern Ireland, causing hurt and harm to communities.
"We as police will do everything that we can to tackle this issue, but we need to work in partnership with our local communities, and I encourage people to share any information, no matter how small, with us." | Second-placed Linfield secured a vital victory over one-from-bottom Ballinamallard United and are now just two points behind leaders Crusaders.

UKIP's assembly group leader accused Plaid of not being a real opposition party but "Labour's lapdog".
In the 2016 assembly elections, Labour won 29 seats, Plaid 12, the Conservatives 11, UKIP seven and the Liberal Democrats one.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood dismissed the statement from Mr Hamilton as a "dead cat deflection".
Mr Hamilton called for Plaid to appoint a leader willing to work with UKIP.
The AM for Mid and West Wales said he was responding to suggestions by Plaid's Rhun ap Iorwerth that it would go into coalition with Labour in the future if circumstances allowed.
Mr ap Iorwerth said on Tuesday he would consider standing as Plaid leader, if Leanne Wood were to step down.
Mr Hamilton blasted Mr ap Iorwerth and Ms Wood, saying: "Plaid will never progress under these faint hearts.
"They need a red-blooded leader like Adam Price or Neil McEvoy, both of whom are very effective AMs, hungry to break the cosy Cardiff Bay consensus."
Mr Hamilton added that "as a real nationalist party", UKIP would be "pleased to work with Plaid Cymru to take Wales forward".
He said Mr McEvoy recognised Labour had "failed Wales' working class".
"Real opposition means more than timid tub-thumping," he added.
"Opposition parties should come together to smash the tired and corrupt consensus which has turned Wales into the poorest part of the UK."
In response, Ms Wood tweeted: "Plaid Cymru is the home for all who are fed up with Labour misrule and want change".
She described Mr Hamilton's comments as a "dead cat deflection" from his own party's ongoing leadership issues.
Eleven candidates are contesting UKIP's third leadership contest in a year, with the party's MEP for Wales Nathan Gill among those distancing themselves from anti-Islam candidate Anne Marie Waters.
He was addressing the Turkish parliament just days after Chancellor Angela Merkel said multiculturalism in Germany had been a failure.
He stressed integration did not mean giving up Turkish culture and identity.
A BBC correspondent says many Turks suspect Berlin of seeking to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment.
Earlier this month, Mr Wulff sought to assure his country's Muslims, most of whom are Turks, that "Islam belongs to Germany".
President Wulff is a more emollient speaker than Chancellor Merkel and he was careful to put his points diplomatically to his Turkish hosts but his message about needing to integrate was the same as Mrs Merkel's, the BBC's Jonathan Head reports from from Istanbul.
"Immigrants have made Germany more plural, more open and more worldly," Mr Wulff said in Ankara.
"But living in a plural society is also a huge challenge.
"Turkey can show that Islam and democracy, Islam and the rule of law, and Islam and pluralism needn't be contradictory."
Mr Wulff also urged Turkey to give Christians equal rights to exercise religious freedom and train their own priests.
"Christianity belongs to Turkey," he said.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul thanked Mr Wulff, when they met earlier on Tuesday, for supporting Germany's Muslims.
"It is a duty for all of us to ensure every citizen speaks the language of the country they reside in fluently," Mr Gul said.
"The use of integration issues for political capital should be avoided, everybody must contribute to a solution instead," he added.
President Wulff also asked for the co-operation of Turkey's powerful Religious Affairs Department, which trains and dispatches imams to minister to the Turkish community in Germany for four-year stints.
The German authorities believe the imams could play an important role in helping Turks to integrate if they were more rooted in Germany - they would like imams to be trained locally instead.
There is a better understanding between the two countries on this issue than a few years ago, our correspondent adds.
On that occasion, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan described demands that Turks in Germany "assimilate" as a crime against humanity.
Tight-head Andress, 32, came up through the youth ranks with his native Ulster before signing for Exeter in 2007.
After spells at Harlequins and Worcester, Andress, who has played for Ireland A, signed a two-year deal with Edinburgh in May 2014.
Andress, who has made 48 appearances for Edinburgh, says he has enjoyed his time with the club "immensely".
"Being on 48 caps, it would be great to leave having achieved my 50th cap and be able to mark my time here in such a special way," he said.
Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons paid tribute to Andress' efforts with the club.
"John is an experienced scrummaging tight-head who has made a valuable contribution to the club over the past two seasons," said Solomons.
"He is a good bloke, an excellent team man and a pleasure to coach. We wish him every success in his new venture."
Munster have also announced that lock Darren O'Shea will return to the club at the end of this season after two years with Worcester.

The Canaries have taken just one point from a possible 24 - finding ugly form at the wrong time of the season.
Though they rallied late on, with Redmond and substitute Gary O'Neil going close, Norwich need points, not performances, with just 10 games to go.
Look back on how Chelsea overcame Norwich
All the reaction from Tuesday's Premier League matches
The downward momentum Norwich have will worry both playing staff and board members, as missing out on an enhanced Premier League TV deal next season would be a tough financial pill to swallow.
But the reality is Alex Neil's side are coming up short. They have scored in just four of their past eight league games and, for all their effort, seem light up front when it matters.
Jerome hit the bar from six yards in the second period when he should have scored and his lack of killer instinct summed up a display which was admirable if uninspiring.
Fellow relegation strugglers Sunderland and Newcastle visit Carrow Road in the run-in, but Norwich - 18th in the table on goal difference - must find their form soon.
Before Chelsea's visit they had fewer touches in opponents' area than any other side in the league. So is a change in style needed? Or are Neil's side simply doomed?
Redmond's strike - from a Wes Hoolahan pass - and performance will be one positive, and perhaps Norwich fans can draw some comfort from their early misfortune.
Referee Lee Mason was a clear target of home fans' frustration in the opening period as a succession of 50-50 calls went the way of the champions.
Thibaut Courtois seemed to pick up a clear backpass and Costa was a yard offside in running onto Bertrand Traore's pass in first-half injury time.
It proved key and was tough on the Canaries, but they must look at their own shortcomings too as Kenedy's early rocket arrived after the full-back was given plenty of time to fashion his shot.
Being undone inside a minute was exactly what Norwich did not need on a night when they were desperate to right a poor run of form. Another worry will be an injury sustained by Alexander Tettey, while Gary O'Neil suffered a head wound as he collided with Robbie Brady.
"Gary has a nasty gash and needs a few stitches, Robbie's lost two teeth and Alex is getting an X-ray on his leg," Neil said afterwards.
Focus on the relegation zone could overshadow the fact Chelsea - in eighth - are in the top half for the first time since the opening week of the season.
Their remarkable slump under Jose Mourinho is long finished, with key players returning to form to fashion a run of 12 league games unbeaten.
Hiddink is yet to lose a league game since returning to the club and deserves praise for starting Kenedy and Traore.
Costa seems hungry again and has eight goals and four assists in his past 10 league games, while Cesc Fabregas looked in control in midfield throughout.
Hiddink is concerned his side will lose focus in league games with one eye on Champions League commitments but they showed they have the talent to come through such tests when not at their best. A top six-finish looks possible.
"Now with the ambition of Chelsea we must set a new target and see what we can do in the direction of Europe," Hiddink said afterwards.
Norwich manager Alex Neil: "The first goal is a real disappointment for us. We have six behind the ball and the left back scores. The second is offside and you expect the officials to get that. The fact is we didn't really get exposed for the first goal but didn't deal with it and shut down quick enough."

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink: "We didn't want to go into the battle but they forced us. We were sloppy in the first half, starting well with a beautiful goal and I think we could have finished it in the first half. We were complacent in the last pass. They made our life difficult."
Norwich travel to Swansea - who are three points above them - on Saturday, while Chelsea host Stoke four days before their Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris St-Germain.

They lost 21-14 21-18 to Chinese fourth seeds Fu Haifeng and Zhang Nan.
The pair will face China's Hong Wei and Chai Biao for bronze on Thursday, bidding to become Britain's first badminton medallists since 2004.
"I'm really disappointed and a bit frustrated. I don't think we really put 100% into that match," Ellis said.
"Obviously we tried but for some reason today it just didn't quite come out.
"I'm not forgetting the occasion that it is but I feel like we could have done so much better," he added.
The Britons, who have performed above their ranking of 22nd in the world in reaching the last four, battled hard in the match but lost to opponents who both won gold medals at London 2012.
Langridge said: "It is frustrating. We gave everything and have to give full credit to them, they are a world class pair and were better than us.
"It's hard for us but the day after tomorrow we have to come back and try and win that bronze medal for Team GB."

The law has the backing of President's Paul Biya's party and so might be approved.
Women already face being jailed for between two to six months for having sexual relations outside marriage and men would face the same punishment.
Bar Association head Ngnie Kamga said the law would "take Cameroon backwards and would send more people to prisons".
Africa Live: BBC news updates
The BBC's Richard Onanena in Cameroon says that women have been jailed for adultery.
"Men having children out of wedlock should be punished because that is evidence of adultery," one member of parliament, Tomaino Ndam Njoya, is reported to have said during the debate.
Heading into the final race, Hamilton is 12 points behind Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, who will win the title by finishing third, even if Hamilton wins.
The Briton said: "I can't and won't give up. You never know what might happen - however unlikely it may seem."
Rosberg said he would "give everything to end the season with a win".
After finishing second to Hamilton at the last race in Brazil, German Rosberg said he did not know how he would decide to approach the season climax in Abu Dhabi.
He has been sticking to a mantra of "one race at a time" all season, but admitted he might change that for such a crucial event, at which he could win the World Championship for the first time.
However, he said: "In Brazil, after the race, I was joking that I would still be taking things one race at a time. But, the more I think about it, the more that's actually not as crazy as it sounds.
"I have to treat this like any other race. Doing a good job on a grand prix weekend is always a challenge.
"Nothing in this sport is easy, so this won't be any different and I still have to go all out for a good result.
"I have great memories from winning at this track last year and it's somewhere I've usually been strong in the past, so I have every reason to feel confident.
"The closer it gets, the more I'm feeling excited. It will be a big battle and hopefully the fans will get a great show to end the year."
The two drivers have won nine races each so far this season, while Hamilton has 11 pole positions to Rosberg's eight.
While Rosberg has not had a single retirement this season, or any engine problem that has affected a result, Hamilton has had much the worse of the reliability.
The Briton would be leading the championship had he not suffered an engine failure while leading in Malaysia in September, and he also had engine failures in qualifying in China and Russia early in the season that affected his points score.
But he has also not helped his own cause with poor weekends in Baku and Singapore and a series of poor starts.
Hamilton added: "I'm in a good place right now. I'm feeling super-strong in this amazing car that everyone at the factories has worked so hard to give us.
"I've had 31 wins in four years with this team so far, which is just crazy. I'm so thankful for the great opportunity these guys have given me. We're continuing to make history together.
"It's not been a perfect season and I'm faced with pretty impossible odds no matter what I do this weekend.
"I'll be proud of myself and what I've achieved as long as I feel I've given my all and performed at my best.
"And, whatever happens, I'm proud of everyone who's been a part of the success we've shared over the past few years. I'm approaching this weekend the same as I do every race. I want to win and I'll give it everything to finish the season on a high."
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "As a group, we now have one very important final duty this season - to give Nico and Lewis the platform they need to battle it out to the flag.
"Both of them have been exceptional and either one would make a worthy champion.
"After such a battle of endurance, the winner can say without doubt that they earned it. We are all excited to see who that will be. May the best man win."
Police found 13 bodies in a mass grave on a ranch near the capital on Thursday.
Ten of them have now been identified as those of people who disappeared from Mexico City's Heaven bar in May.
The motive behind their disappearance and subsequent killing remains unclear.
Seven young men and five women ranging between 16 and 34 years of age were reported missing in the days after the group went to the bar in the Zona Rosa district on 26 May.
Surveillance footage showed some of them being led to cars outside the after-hours bar.
There was no obvious sign of force on the surveillance footage. The men who took them away were not masked and did not seem to be carrying weapons.
There was no trace of the missing people until their bodies were discovered in a grave covered with lime, cement and asbestos on the outskirts of Mexico City.
All of them came from the rough Tepito neighbourhood of Mexico City, and local media have speculated that their killing could be related to warfare between local crime gangs in the area.
Three of them were related to convicted crime bosses, but their relatives have denied they were involved in illegal activities.
Mass kidnappings carried out by drug cartels are not unusual in the border areas of Mexico, but the case of the 12 shocked capital residents.
Two co-owners of the Heaven bar and two employees who were working on the night of the incident have been arrested in connection with the case.
Another co-owner, Dax Rodriguez Ledesma, was found burned to death in July. Police had been searching for him at the time of his killing.
Official figures say 26,000 people have gone missing across Mexico since December 2006, when the army was deployed to fight crime gangs.
Amnesty International has accused the Mexican government was not doing enough to investigate the disappearances of thousands of people.
Campaign groups have condemned the election of the countries to the 47-seat Human Rights Council.
Human Rights Watch said some new members had denied access to UN monitors investigating alleged abuses.
The UN General Assembly elected a total of 14 new members to the Geneva-based council on Tuesday.
China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Algeria and Cuba won seats unopposed, but human rights groups have complained that they are the countries that the body should be censuring.
New York-based Human Rights Watch singled out five countries - China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Algeria - which have denied access to UN human rights monitors keen to investigate alleged abuses.
"Countries that haven't allowed UN experts appointed by the council to visit have a lot of explaining to do," said Peggy Hicks, the group's global advocacy director.
And UN Watch, a frequent critic of UN practices, also accused these countries, along with Algeria, of systematically violating the rights of their citizens.
The newly members will be on the council for three years from 2014. The body aims to shine a spotlight on rights abuses by adopting resolutions.
UN Watch made a broader criticism of the Human Rights Council, accusing it of repeatedly criticising Israel while failing to adopt a resolution that has been critical of China, Russia or Saudi Arabia.
The Human Rights Council was created in 2006 to replace the UN's widely discredited Human Rights Commission.
But the council has faced similar criticism to the commission, with the election of countries with questionable track records in human rights.
South Sudan and Uruguay failed to win seats in the competitive elections for their regional grouping on Tuesday. The other regions had uncontested votes.
Among the least successful films of the year is Snowden, directed by Oliver Stone, alongside Sacha Baron Cohen's Grimsby, according to Forbes.
Sci-fi film Max Steel, which returned 42% of its budget, tops its Hollywood's Biggest Turkeys of 2016 list.
Period drama and horror mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies also features in the top 10.
Snowden, telling the story of whistleblower Edward Snowden's leak of US intelligence, is ranked ninth in the list, which compares worldwide box office totals with the estimated film budgets.
The film, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has received good reviews but made it to ninth on the list, taking 86% of its $40m (£32m) budget. It is yet to be released in the UK.
Free State of Jones, in which Matthew McConaughey plays an American Civil War fighter, returned less than half of its $50m (£40m) budget, making it second on the list.
In fourth position was comedy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, starring Lily James and Matt Smith, which made back 58% of its $28m (£23m) budget, followed by computer-animated Ratchet & Clank, which took $11.8m (£9.5m), having had an estimated budget of $20m (£16m).
Comedy action film Grimsby - known as The Brothers Grimsby in the US - is estimated to have had a $35m (£28m) budget. It took $28.7m (£23m) at the international box office, making it the worst box office total of Baron Cohen's career. It was eighth on the list.
Natalie Robehmed of Forbes said that "not all movies flopped because they were bad films", noting that several were well received by critics.
She said: "Movies underperform for a number of reasons, be it marketing, release date timing, poor reviews or a combination of several factors."
Forbes only included films that opened in more than 2,000 cinemas and did not look at those released this month.

Joseph McMenemy's body was found at a flat in the town's Donaldson Street at about 23:55 on Tuesday.
Police launched a murder investigation following a post-mortem examination.
The man who has been arrested is expected to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Monday.

With 674 matches being played across 18 courts, watched by nearly half a million spectators across the two weeks, somebody needs to keep everyone in the loop.
The players and results of every single match are recorded on a massive board, right until the very last point is won.
And that's a job done by Sean and his dedicated team.
Ayshah's been to find out how he gets the all-important work done.
The last time she lost was to Daniele di Toro in Sydney on 30 January 2003, winning the next 470 matches.
The 31-year-old Dutchwoman, who won her fourth consecutive Paralympic singles gold in London, tweeted on Tuesday she had "officially stopped tennis".
Vergeer took the number one spot in her sport in 1999 and only lost it after missing January's Australian Open.
Although possibly less well known than sportsmen with a fraction of her achievements Vergeer is described by Rafael Nadal as 'amazing' for her will and ability and lauded as showing, 'true love and passion' for her sport by Maria Sharapova on her website.
Earlier this month, she told BBC Sport: "If I'm going to continue playing, I'll play because I want to be better than before. I enjoy tennis, and if one day I feel I am not enjoying it as much, I'll retire and start doing other things."
Vergeer won the first of her four first gold medals in Sydney in 2000 and her record of victories had been compared to the squash legend Jahangir Khan's 555 consecutive wins between 1981 and 1986 - a target many thought she would try to emulate.
Richard Krajicek: "Maybe the most successful athlete of all time."
Maria Sharapova: "She shows true love and passion."
Rafael Nadal: "Amazing for her will and ability."
She took a break from the sport last year to consider her future after the 6-0 6-3 victory over compatriot Aniek van Koot in the Paralympics final.
"This is an amazing life still so why quit while I'm still winning? But it's not like I'm aiming for the 500 unbeaten record, 600 or whatever," she said.
Vergeer was just a "little girl" when she started playing wheelchair tennis after losing the use of her legs aged eight following spinal surgery, and she has seen the sport gain greater attention during her career.
Last year she reflected: "It's so amazing that I can spread the message to the world that if you have a disability there's so much that you can still do, and a lot of people in the world still don't know that."
Always grounded during her success, Vergeer said: "Everybody expected me to win gold [in London], but I still had to be at the top of my game. A lot of people forget that."
Vergeer has been tipped as a possible sports administrator for the Dutch Olympic Committee.
Without carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, gas-fired electricity would have to fall to 10% of the mix to meet emissions targets for 2050.
The new study also warns that current government policies will deter investment in gas.
The report has been published by the UK Energy Research Centre.
Last November the government signalled that the UK's remaining coal-fired power stations would be phased out by 2025.
Energy Secretary Amber Rudd said those closures would only go ahead if nuclear and gas-fuelled generation could fill the gap, and act as a bridge to a decarbonised future.
This new report raises questions about the implications of a new "dash for gas".
The authors calculate that without carbon capture and storage technology, unabated gas could only make up 10% of the electricity mix in 2050, if the government wanted to meet current legal obligations to restrict carbon.
Legislation on the statute books in the UK requires an 80% cut in CO2 emissions below the 1990 level by the middle of this century.
"There is limited scope for gas to act as a bridge (to a decarbonised future)," said Prof Jim Watson from the UK Energy Research Centre.
"If we stick to carbon targets and have CCS, you've got a significant amount of gas being burned in the energy system, perhaps half the current levels by 2050.
"But if we stick to carbon targets and don't have CCS you are down to the 10% level compared to current gas demand by 2050."
However, UK research on CCS was dealt a severe blow following the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, when the government confirmed it was scrapping a £1bn carbon capture and storage competition on the grounds of cost.
According to the authors of this new report, the cancelling of the UK CCS competition will make it "risky" as to whether the technology will be available when needed.
"If you look around the world at where CCS is at, my view would be there isn't enough going on to guarantee you'll have that available," said Prof Mike Bradshaw from the Warwick Business School.
"The UK was one of the few countries that was actually serious about this - a charitable interpretation of the government's decision was that they were just hoping that someone else will bring the cost down and we'll buy it in when we need it, but that is quite a risky decision to make."
The scenario outlined by the report highlights the scale of the challenge of trying to reduce emissions while keeping the lights on.
While the government is keen on natural gas as an alternative to coal, investors have yet to be convinced that gas-fired stations are a good long-term investment.
To ease their fears the government has developed a "capacity market", where generators are paid for future supplies of energy that they can provide at short notice to ensure continuity of supply as renewables provide more of the energy mix.
According to the new report, the current capacity market mechanism is simply not attractive enough for investors to build new gas-generating capabilities.
The authors argue that any new gas plants built to replace coal without CCS will only operate intermittently, meaning a poor return on investment.
"Even if you want more gas to replace coal in the power sector, the policy framework clearly isn't working," said Prof Watson.
"The capacity market isn't doing what it needs to do, and I suspect they will have to put in place much stronger economic incentives for new gas developers."
The authors say that using gas for electricity is a question that needs to be answered over the next 10 years.
Beyond that they say reducing the role of gas in domestic heating and industry will be the "critical" challenge on the way to meeting the 2050 targets.

Gary O'Flynn, 39, of Hayfield Drive, Castlecourt, Whitechurch, was sentenced to five years, two of them suspended.
The former Fianna Fáil councillor pleaded guilty in February to soliciting a man to kill three people.
He also received a three-year sentence to run concurrently for fraud charges.
These relate to obtaining mortgages while he was working as a financial adviser.
O'Flynn was a member of Cork City Council between 2003 and 2008.
Phillip Potter, 19, and Matthew Gordon, 29, face a total of nine charges relating to the crash last February.
Mitzi Steady, four, from Bath, Robert Parker, 59, from Cwmbran, Phil Allen, 52, and Stephen Vaughan, 34, both from Swansea, were all killed in the crash.
A trial is likely to take place later in the year and is expected to last four weeks, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Mitzi was walking with her grandmother on Lansdown Lane in Bath when she was hit by the Scania truck carrying aggregate.
It went on to hit a number of vehicles on the road before overturning on to a Volvo at the bottom of the hill, killing the three other victims.
Mr Potter, of Little Middle Green Farm, Dauntsey, Wiltshire, faces two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
It is alleged he was driving the HGV tipper truck "dangerously" from an access road to Shorncote Quarry, along the Spine Road, on the M4, on the A46, the A420, Freezing Lane and Lansdown Lane.
Mr Gordon, of Chestnut Farm, Dauntsey, faces charges of aiding or abetting and one count of dangerous driving.
The two defendants did not enter pleas to the charges against them at the preliminary hearing and were released on unconditional bail.
The next hearing is likely to take place in June.
Bitcoin's value has been rising rapidly since a US Senate committee hearing earlier this month.
Confidence grew after the committee described virtual currencies as a "legitimate financial service".
Bitcoin has become popular in part due to it being difficult to trace transactions.
The currency is often linked to illegal activity online.
Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency.
But it may be best to think of its units being virtual tokens rather than physical coins or notes.
However, like all currencies its value is determined by how much people are willing to exchange it for.
To process Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" must take place, which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution.
For each problem solved, one block of bitcoins is processed. In addition the miner is rewarded with new bitcoins.
This provides an incentive for people to provide computer processing power to solve the problems.
To compensate for the growing power of computer chips, the difficulty of the puzzles is adjusted to ensure a steady stream of about 3,600 new bitcoins a day.
There are currently about 11 million bitcoins in existence.
To receive a bitcoin a user must have a Bitcoin address - a string of 27-34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual postbox to and from which the bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no registry of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction.
These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets which are used to manage savings.
They operate like privately run bank accounts - with the proviso that if the data is lost, so are the bitcoins owned.
Customers using the Silk Road - a website selling illegal drugs that was shut down last month - would pay for goods using Bitcoin.
Many worried the crackdown would cause the value to plummet, but instead growing confidence that regulators will not imminently seek to ban the currency has seen its price soar.
Enthusiasts say it is a highly efficient way of handling global money transfers.
"For Bitcoin to go from zero to $1,000 in just five years has been amazing to watch," said Mike Hearn, a Bitcoin developer.
"It's easy to forget that Bitcoin's true value is not in an arbitrary exchange rate, but in its ability to enable new applications and services which aren't possible with today's payment networks."
The US Senate hearing earlier this month was prompted by the closure of the Silk Road.
Representatives from the Department of Justice and financial regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission were asked to provide their views about virtual currencies to the committee, and submissions have been received from the FBI and the US Federal Reserve.
"Virtual currencies, perhaps most notably Bitcoin, have captured the imagination of some, struck fear among others, and confused the heck out of the rest of us," the chairman of the committee, senator Thomas Carper, said in opening remarks.
The FBI, in a letter to the committee, said that it recognised virtual currencies offered "legitimate financial services" but they could be "exploited by malicious actors".
By Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent
It has been an extraordinary year for the currency, which attracts disciples and detractors in similar numbers.
Back in January, when only a dedicated band of libertarians and uber-geeks knew much about it, one bitcoin was worth under $20 - but as people began writing about its attractions, the value soared.
Then in October when the FBI closed down the Silk Road, the online drugs marketplace where Bitcoin was the main means of exchange, it tumbled over 20% in a few hours.
But last week, it was given the stamp of respectability when a US Senate hearing heard glowing testimony about its potential, with officials from President Barack Obama administration comparing its merits with those of the internet.
There is now growing knowledge of and interest in Bitcoin among law enforcement officials, regulators and economists. And while there remains much scepticism about its security, the idea of a virtual currency for the internet has taken root.
But investors beware - anyone who gets on the bandwagon can be guaranteed a bumpy rise.
Mythili Raman, the head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, told the committee: "We have seen increasing use of such currencies by drug dealers, traffickers of child pornography, and perpetrators of large-scale fraud schemes."
But Bitcoin is slowly starting to be used for other, more legitimate means.
In October, the world's first Bitcoin ATM opened in Vancouver, Canada - the machine allows users to exchange bitcoins for cash and vice-versa.
Although one entire bitcoin may be worth $1,000, it is possible to pay for goods using fractions of bitcoins.
For example, pizzaforcoins.com offers two pizzas for 0.02160 bitcoins.
The value of Bitcoin has fluctuated throughout the past year. In January, it was trading at about $20.
In April, a panic sell-off meant the value of one bitcoin went from $260 to $130 in just a few hours. Trading exchange MTGox said it had struggled to handle a "rather astonishing" sudden influx of new users.
The virtual currency has also been quickly adopted in China, where one exchange - BTC China - is said to be the most active globally.
Bitcoin's use in China has been attributed to it being an effective way of reliably getting money out of the country.
Various Bitcoin exchanges have been set up around the world, with MTGox being the most prominent.
Typically, each exchange will show a different value - this is due to the difficulty in exchanging bitcoins for real currency, a process that can require the funds to be transferred through several banks in different countries. Each bank would probably charge a fee for these transactions.
Bitcoin's volatility has provoked calls from some to not refer to it as a "currency" at all, and that it instead should be referred to as a stock or commodity.
The median time between a breach and its discovery was 520 days, it says. That is three times the global average.
Asia was also 80% more likely to be targeted by hackers than other parts of the world, the report said.
It said an average of 3.7GB in data had been stolen in each attack, which could be tens of thousands of documents.
However, the bulk of the incidents were not made public because the region lacks breach disclosure laws.
Grady Summers, the chief technology officer of Mandiant's parent company, FireEye, said the findings were "very concerning".
"We knew responses to cyber-incidents here in Asia often lag those elsewhere, but we didn't know it was by this much," he told the BBC.
As part of the study, Mandiant hacked into one organisation's network with its permission to see how vulnerable it was.
"Within three days we had the keys to the kingdom," Mr Summers said. "If an expert group of hackers can do the same in three days, imagine what can they do in 520 days."
National threat
Mandiant has published a global security report for the past six years, but this is the first time it has focused on Asia.
The report is based on the company's investigations last year, each of which analyzed an average of 22,000 machines.
Leaving breaches undiscovered or unreported for too long can ultimately compromise a country's economic competitiveness or national security, Mandiant warns.
Hackers could take over key infrastructure such as power stations, which happened in the Ukraine, and potentially even transport systems in so-called smart cities.
On a consumer level, personal information can be used for fraudulent purposes. More than 500 million digital identities were stolen or exposed last year, an earlier report by security company Symantec suggests.
"Threats to corporate data are now a critical business concern for nearly every company," said Richard Fenning, chief executive of Control Risks, another security company.
"Hackers, whether malevolent teenagers or malicious states, are the leading disrupters of our age. [There's] no simple, single fix.
"Technology can help, but we must also shift how we think about digital security and have nimble leadership when the near-inevitable breach occurs."
State-sponsored attacks
Mandiant suggests that the bulk of cyber-attacks in Asia are state-sponsored and target areas with heightened geopolitical tensions, such as the South China Sea.
Governments, financial institutions, energy, education research, healthcare, aerospace and defence had "long been a favourite target" of hackers who look to either destroy or use the stolen material for extortion, it said.
There had been a decrease in the number of attacks in the US and western Europe by Chinese hackers, Mr Summers added, because China seemed to be refocusing its efforts to other parts of Asia.
Asian organisations were ill-equipped to defend their networks from attackers because "they frequently lack basic response processes and plans, threat intelligence, technology and expertise", Mr Summers said.
"They're not doing enough," he said.
"But they're starting to wake up to the reality of the threats.
"In the US, we were going through this realisation 10 years ago, so we have a head start."
Rebel leader Riek Machar said the government had chosen war over peace.
But Mr Kiir's chief negotiator said the deal was a sell-out that could not be implemented as the rebels are split.
A key issue is thought to be a proposed power-sharing deal which could see Mr Machar return as vice-president.
The deadline for a peace deal expired on Monday night, and South Sudan's warring parties may now face international sanctions.
Tens of thousands have died and more than two million have been displaced since fighting broke out in the young state in 2013.
Five obstacles to peace in South Sudan
The sides traded accusations about who was responsible for an attack in the town of Pageri, near the border with Uganda, early on Tuesday.
Military spokesman Philip Aguer said rebel accusations were "lies" and blamed them.
At Monday's summit in Ethiopia attended by regional powers and international mediators, South Sudan's government initialled a draft agreement, but requested a further 15 days before signing in full. Mr Machar did sign it.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Salva Kiir to sign up and cease hostilities, saying he was "deeply pained by the horrendous suffering of South Sudanese civilians".
The US was "deeply disappointed" that President Kiir's government had "yet again squandered" an opportunity to bring peace by refusing to sign the agreement, a statement from US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said.
"The US deplores this failure of leadership," it added.
A Ugandan spokesman said his government knew how hard it was to achieve peace "especially when the belligerents have big egos and... put their personal egos above national interests".
"We can only continue to mediate, to encourage every side to realise that their country is superior to every one of them individually," Shaban Bantariza said, quoted by Reuters news agency.
The country currently has two rival governments, one led by Islamists in Tripoli, and another, in Tibruk, that is recognised by the international community.
A number of armed factions are fighting for control of Libya.
The violence has caused tens of thousands of people to be displaced across Libya.
Militants linked to the so-called Islamic State (IS) have claimed to be behind several attacks in recent months, with growing fears that the country's power vacuum is proving fertile ground for jihadists.
Egypt's air strikes add to the complexity of the situation and could draw Egypt further into this messy conflict. What's not clear yet is whether the strikes are a one-off in retaliation for the killing of Coptic Christians or the beginning of a broader military campaign by Egypt.
Precise information about Egypt's role in Libya is hard to come by.
According to Western officials, quoted in the Guardian, Egypt also allowed its bases to be used for air strikes in Libya in 2014. Egyptian government officials denied such military involvement.
Egypt shares a long, porous border with Libya. The Egyptians will be worried about reprisal attacks, as well as the danger of clandestine support for the Islamist insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula.
The growth of IS in Libya is a result of the chaos and violence since the toppling of the Libyan dictator, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The Gaddafi regime left behind few functioning civil or political institutions.
The are worries that IS is gaining a wider foothold in the region, not just Libya. The New York Times looks at how, according to American intelligence officials, IS is broadening out from its base in Iraq and Syria to neighbouring countries.
Others take a different view and claim IS is in retreat.
They point to the group's recent military setbacks, including the loss of control of Kobane as well as the wider toll American air strikes are taking.
How the international community deals with the question of the growing internal collapse of Libya may become clearer in coming days.
There have been condemnations of the killings of the Copts but not much detail in terms of evolving policy towards Libya itself.
Critics say that the Obama administration's approach towards the country has been the victim of political infighting, ever since the attack on America's consulate in Benghazi in 2012.
William Clark and Sons, based at Upperlands, outside Maghera, traces its history back to 1736.
Its website states the firm is home to "Ireland's oldest linen fabric mill".
While a 150-year old building in the complex was destroyed, management said the fire was confined to that building and the business is still intact.
The fire was spotted by a dog walker.
A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) spokeswoman said they deployed three pumping appliances and three specialist appliances to the scene.
Firefighters pumped water from the linen processor's nearby dams to fight the flames.
Thirty-five people work at the plant.
The firm's managing director, Kevin Devlin, told BBC Newsline: "The building itself seems to be pretty extensively damaged and there is some machinery kept in there and some raw materials.
"But, it's been isolated to that particular unit, so I think we've been quite fortunate in that aspect."
Company director Robert Clark said: "It will affect one process but hopefully we'll be back to normal very soon."
Every February, as the Oscars roll around, movie fans revel in stories about actors who have gone to extreme lengths to prepare for parts.
Daniel Day-Lewis learned to track and skin animals and fight with tomahawks for The Last of the Mohicans, while, more recently, Leonardo DiCaprio plunged into an icy river and sank his teeth into a hunk of raw bison while filming the Oscar-nominated film The Revenant.
Actors going to such lengths has become more common in recent years and a cynic might argue it certainly did not harm their film's publicity, but given the apparent success of their technique, could working in a similarly immersive way also benefit novelists?
The author Thomas W Hodgkinson thinks so.
"I wrote the bulk of my new novel, Memoirs of a Stalker, whilst lying flat on my back in one of the cupboards in my home. There wasn't even room for a laptop, so I had to write it on my mobile phone," he says.
"I was trying to get into the mindset of my main character, who breaks into his ex-girlfriend's house and lives there for months without her knowing. He spends a lot of time lurking in shadows, behind doors, and crouched in cupboards."
On Saturday, Hodgkinson is launching his Method Writers project, calling on other authors to try similar techniques to see whether or not it benefits their writing.
Whilst such a move rather conveniently draws attention to Hodgkinson's debut novel, could his idea be worthy of further discussion?
Sarah Churchwell, professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia, doesn't totally dismiss method writing as an idea, but says most would not think it necessary.
"This idea is not different in kind to the way most authors write, it's just different in degree. Writing is always an immersive, imaginative experience," she says.
"As a writer, you do live inside the heads of your characters and the world you've created. Rather than locking themselves literally in a closet, most writers just mentally immerse themselves in a certain realm, whether fictional or historical."
Prof Churchwell has experience of writing in such a way. For her 2014 book, Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby, she says she had to immerse herself in all things 1922.
"I did nothing but read about 1922 for five years - I felt I was imaginatively living in that world. You do become naturally obsessed.
"You can't shed the role at the end of the day... much the way actors often say they also can't just emerge from the role. They are imaginatively living it, and writers are the same."
But not everyone agrees method acting significantly enhances an actor's performance.
One who reportedly did not have time for such a technique was Oscar winner Laurence Olivier, who appeared in the 1976 film Marathon Man, alongside Dustin Hoffman.
To get into the spirit of his role, during which he had to look exhausted, Hoffman did not sleep in the run up to shooting certain scenes. When Lord Olivier heard about it, he asked his co-star: "My dear boy, why don't you try acting?"
Hodgkinson argues it would be unfair to suggest Hoffman - who had thrown himself into the role to help him get through a divorce - was not acting, and the process evidently helped him.
"I'm not saying method writing is the only way to go, but if it works, it works," he says.
"It's restrictive to say as a writer you just have to sit down at a desk and concentrate very hard, when there's all kinds of things you can do to get in the right frame of mind.
"No writer just sits down at a desk without any preparation. What we're saying is be creative about your preparation, even at the cost of seeming a little bit ridiculous. It's a terribly English thing, this fear of ridicule. But many of the great method actors have been laughed at, and they didn't turn out too bad in the end."
Whilst perhaps not going to quite the same lengths, Prof Churchwell points out there are certainly other writers who have tried the immersive technique in the past, including some of the greats.
James Joyce used charts to help him keep track of characters and motif when writing Ulysses, while William Faulkner drew maps of the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, where he set all but three of his novels. He also wrote genealogies of his fictional families.
As part of Hodgkinson's attempts to get the Method Writers project off the ground, he and fellow author Alexander Fiske-Harrison are offering a series of one-day courses in March, which he says will aim to teach aspiring writers about the benefits of the technique and "become the Daniel Day-Lewis of literature".
But some disapproving readers may recall Lord Olivier's immortal words - if he were alive today, he might well advise budding authors to simply "try writing, dear boy".
Two giant stars are locked in orbit at the centre of an expanding hour-glass of matter they have spewed into space.
Every five years they swing closer together than Mars and our Sun, causing a spike in X-rays we can see on Earth.
A new model of the duelling stellar winds accounts for many of the fluctuations in the system's emissions.
The work, led by researchers at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, was presented at the American Astronomical Society's 225th meeting in Seattle.
Eta Carinae is 7,500 light years from Earth - and it is the biggest star within 10,000.
It sits in the southern constellation Carina.
In the 1840s a dazzling eruption made it, for a time, the second brightest star in the sky - and gave birth to the Homunculus Nebula.
Enough gas to make ten Suns burst into a vast, two-lobed cloud of debris. The unfurling nebula is half a light-year across and still expanding.
The clouds obscure details of the bizarre star system at their centre, and shield much of its brilliance: more than five million times the intensity of our Sun.
Many years of observations from space and ground telescopes, as well as contributions from amateur astronomers, have helped scientists build up a much clearer picture of what is taking place.
Eta Carinae, itself at least 90 times the mass of our sun, has a companion star only about three times smaller.
As they orbit each other in two mismatched ellipses, the two stars throw out vast amounts of gas in the form of "stellar winds".
Especially when the two stars get close together, their colliding winds produce fireworks that echo across space. That interaction is what physicists have now modelled in more detail than ever before.
In particular, a "bow shock" is produced as the smaller star ploughs through the denser wind of its partner.
It is quite a collision, explained the Goddard Center's Dr Michael Corcoran.
"You can imagine a six-million mile per hour object smacking in, and decelerating to zero quite rapidly. That would generate quite a lot of energy," he told journalists at the conference.
That energy heats up the gases and generates X-rays.
A repeating pattern in these X-rays, dubbed the "Eta clock", has allowed scientists to pinpoint the stars' orbital period at five-and-a-half years.
"What we think is happening is, as the stars approach each other... the X-rays brighten because the winds get more dense," Dr Corcoran said.
Another team has been monitoring the fluctuations in a different kind of light - a blue colour emitted by helium atoms.
With the help of amateur astronomers spanning the Southern Hemisphere, Dr Mairan Teodoro from Western Michigan University has tracked the rise and fall of this light over three orbital cycles.
The blue wavelength is thought to come from the primary star's side of the colliding winds. He explained that outside the repeating five-year cycle, there appears to be little long-term change - unlike the X-ray emissions, which seem to be changing as the stars continue to lose mass.
Meanwhile Dr Tom Madura, also of the Goddard Center, has used many of these detailed observations of Eta Carinae to construct a supercomputer simulation of the interacting stars.
It reveals a dramatic, spiralling effect as the stars reach their closest point (called the "periastron").
To better understand this shape, Dr Madura used a 3D printer to make a physical copy of the ragged border between the two stellar winds, frozen at three different time points.
These printed models, unveiled at the conference, include striking finger-like projections that even surprised the researchers themselves.
"These are features that we didn't even know existed," Dr Madura said, adding that the wind-fingers may arise because the two opposing blasts are very different.
"You have this really fast wind from the secondary star, colliding with what's essentially a wall of gas," he said, comparing the interaction to that of water and vinegar.
The team also made 3D printing files for the shape of the iconic nebula. These have proved popular online.
"We've had 100,000 downloads," said Goddard Center astrophysicist Dr Ted Gull.
Asked about the much-discussed possibility of Eta Carinae exploding into a supernova, Dr Gull said it would brighten our night sky in the south, rather than wipe us out.
"It's going to be a source of daylight comparable to the moon - but a point source," he told the BBC.
As for when the star will blow: "We have no idea. We have no clue!"
But blow it will, Dr Gull said. "Some time in the next few hundred thousand years."
For a violently unstable stellar monstrosity, he added, "it seems pretty stable right now."
"And in the meantime, it's a wonderful laboratory."

Mr Hollande told French TV this could take place in the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He also said he might refuse to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is due to visit France next week.
Last week Russia vetoed a Franco-Spanish UN Security Council resolution calling for an end to the bombing.
Moscow has repeatedly denied attacking civilians, and said it targets terrorist groups in Syria.
Neither Russia nor Syria is a member of the International Criminal Court.
"These are people who today are the victims of war crimes. Those that commit these acts will have to face up to their responsibility, including in the ICC," Mr Hollande told TMC.
"If I do receive him [Mr Putin], I will tell him that it is unacceptable. It could also seriously affect Russia's image," the French president added.
Mr Hollande's call for Russia to be prosecuted came as Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said France was working to find a way for the ICC prosecutor to launch an investigation into attacks on rebel-held eastern Aleppo.
Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry also called for war crimes charges, saying Russian and Syrian government attacks on hospitals were "beyond the accidental" and part of a deliberate strategy.
It is designed to prosecute and bring to justice those responsible for the worst crimes - genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
So far only African defendants have been put on trial.
A number of important countries seem determined not to submit to its jurisdiction of the ICC. Some have not even signed the treaty, such as the US, China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Turkey.
Others, including Egypt, Iran, Israel and Russia, have signed but remain dubious and have not ratified.
It is unlikely that alleged crimes against humanity in those states will be prosecuted.

So does being rude, ruthless and self-absorbed give you an advantage when it comes to getting ahead in business?
Quite the reverse, according to Professor Christine Porath, at the McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University.
"I wouldn't recommend people try to emulate Steve Jobs' style," she says.
In her research, stretching back more than 20 years, respondents told her they worked less hard if managers were rude to them. In lab studies students given the brush-off by a professor were subsequently less successful at word puzzles.
She says uncivil behaviour from bosses and colleagues affects sickness rate and mental health, stifles creativity and above all affects staff retention. None of which reflects well on those in charge.
"The thing I hear a lot is - 'if I yell at them, doesn't it light a fire under them and I'll get more short term results?'
"But it robs people of focus and they don't perform. Cognitively you don't gain anything and you might lose out."
And she points out that even Steve Jobs mellowed when he returned for his second, and more successful, stint at Apple.
David Rawlinson, is founder of Restaurant Property, which manages sales and leases of restaurant sites in London.
The general atmosphere in his office is very positive, he says, when it comes to the nine people who work for him he's aware of the importance of getting the balance right between being friendly and being firm.
"It is difficult when you are working in the same room with people day in, day out, to be bad cop sometimes. But you have to. You can't just be nice all the time.
"Certainly I would like to be nice all the time. The reality is you just can't sometimes. If people aren't doing their job properly, or if you think people are taking liberties with sickness or something like that you, have to lay the law down.
"Mostly I start out with explaining things in a cool calm way. But, you know, losing your temper is a very powerful motivator sometimes, and that is something I have had to do in past. I don't enjoy doing it, and it's something I think you should use as final straw."
He says unlike in the old days when the mentality at some companies was to rule with a fist of iron, nowadays it's much more about looking after your staff.
He takes all his staff on a big night out once a month, so that the team can bond and he can get to know them better.
But showing off your cut-throat style - for example table-pounding at a meeting or a strategically-timed temper tantrum - won't always be the wrong choice, at least according to some.
Serial entrepreneur and now venture capitalist, Luke Johnson has overseen vast numbers of small and medium-sized businesses since he sold on his first successful enterprise, Pizza Express, in 1999.
"My observation, from my direct experience, is that to get ahead people have to have a glint of steel about them."
He says in his experience at the coal-face he has met plenty of successful entrepreneurs who aren't particularly polite but it's usually a symptom of the pressure they're under.
"I think all of us should respect basic social niceties and all of us who fail to do that - and I'm as guilty as the next man - deserve to be ticked off."
Sarah [a pseudonym] works for an international law firm. She says in corporate law it pays to be tough.
"This industry is one where being very self-centred is a help rather than a hindrance. In terms of charming your colleagues, it's a bonus rather than something that's necessarily important.
"The nature of the work is such that it really rewards hard-charging, it's not exactly aggressive but there are certainly very opinionated loud people, people who make their presence felt. That being the nature of the work, you don't see people progressing who don't conform to that."
"I definitely try and be one of the boys at the office lots of joking discussion with other people and I certainly have a slightly hard edge."
"But business is a serious affair and if you take on the mantle of running a company, the responsibility of employees and meeting that payroll at the end of the month and all the rest of it, you can't afford to spend all your time stopping at every desk and asking people how their weekend went.
"So probably there's a risk that you come across as uninterested or abrupt or impatient."
He says it is generally the egotists, those who like to take command, even to the point of arrogance, who succeed.
"Leadership is often about not caring whether you make friends or people like you, but doing the right thing.
"Putting people's feelings first and the right decision second is not what I call leadership."
Ben Dattner, executive coach and author of management book, The Blame Game, agrees.
"Even in the days of Machiavelli he said it's better for a leader to be feared than loved.
"If your ethics and integrity allow you to go the 'I want to be feared' route perhaps that can work in certain contexts. It might not get you any love [but] it's about achieving objectives.
He advises his clients to stick to their natural style but just adapt it where necessary.
"The aggressive, contentious approach might help you achieve certain things in the short term, but over the long term, if people don't want to work for you, you might pay a price for having that kind of style."
But just as bad, he says, is making yourself very popular but struggling to get things done.
Mr Dattner says different leadership styles may serve better depending on whether you are facing the tough decisions involved in shrinking an organisation, or building creativity and innovation in a growing business.
The bad news is that both strategies, nice and nasty, carry an extra risk if you're a woman. Highly collaborative women are frequently viewed as ineffective leaders.
But as Mr Dattner also admits: "It's easier for a woman to be perceived as bitchy than it is for a man to be perceived as an ass."

Hundreds of bricks were blown from Oxgangs Primary school during Storm Gertude in January.
Now a safety inspection has revealed there were issues with how the external wall was erected when the school was built about 10 years ago.
The school was closed on Wednesday until Monday 11 April.
The Easter holidays begin on Friday 25 March.
Andy Gray, Edinburgh city council's head of schools, lifelong learning communities and families, said: "Edinburgh Schools Partnership has now carried out a detailed investigation of the external wall cavity around the whole building and this indicated an issue regarding variations in cavity width.
"This raised a further issue with the associated embedment of the wall ties and remedial works will be carried out to address this."
The school was shut immediately after the incident which happened on 29 January but reopened a few days later following a safety inspection.
Edinburgh City Council said the decision to close the school again was taken after a further building survey was carried out earlier this week.
Parents have been told to take their children to Oxgangs Primary Astroturf area on Thursday. The 500 primary and nursery pupils will then be taken to temporary classrooms in nearby schools by bus.
Packed lunches will be given to pupils on Thursday and Friday, with lunches also provided free of charge next week.
Parents were informed of the closure by an email from the council's education department on Tuesday.

"She is a valuable addition to the squad and I am looking forward to seeing her impact on the team."
Rob Frazer, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, agreed they could have a kitten, however, when it came back with a live baby bird, he had a dilemma.
"The cat I didn't particularly want brought a baby bird home with it, so now we are looking after that too."
Mr Frazer is hoping he will be able to release the bird when it is stronger.
Kitten Theodore joined the family eight weeks ago. This was the first time he had brought home any "prey", Mr Frazer said.
"He just turned up at the door with this chick in his mouth and all the kids started shouting, but we managed to get it out of its mouth fast and looked up what kind of bird it was - a house martin."
At first they considered putting it back in the garden, but were afraid the cat would find it.
"I decided to nurse it back to health as the kids would have asked incessant questions about what would happen to the bird all alone in the garden without its mummy and daddy, so it was actually the only option.
"And they are really enjoying seeing it get bigger and starting to flap its wings," Mr Frazer said.
The bird, now named Flappy, is being fed worms and is given water through a small syringe from a children's medicine bottle.
"It should be able to survive from what I have researched," he said. | Plaid Cymru should "come together" with UKIP to "take Wales forward", according to Neil Hamilton.

She also believes that plans to phase out coal fired power plants and replace them by stations run on gas would leave the UK dependent on imported gas.
The plans were part of a major policy speech on Wednesday by the Energy Secretary Amber Rudd.
Coal currently accounts for around 30% of UK power generation.
But in her speech, Amber Rudd said that one of the most cost effective ways of reducing harmful emissions was to replace coal-fired power plants with gas.
However, the Drax chief executive warned that this could leave the UK with the wrong energy mix.
"Coal and gas today produce over half of our electricity. If you replace all the coal stations with gas you would then be dependent on imported gas for over half our electricity," Mrs Thompson said. "I think that's probably the wrong balance."
And she said that being too reliant upon gas could hit household energy bills too.
"We would be so exposed if the gas price soared. Suddenly, the end-consumers' bill would soar and we would have nothing to balance it out with," she said.
Shares in Drax closed down more than 4% on Wednesday after Amber Rudd's speech, wiping tens of millions of pounds the company's value.
Drax's huge power plant, in North Yorkshire, is the UK's biggest coal-fired power generator.
But almost half its output is now from biomass - burning eco friendly wood pellets.
"If you want to replace coal and you want to replace it quickly… the best way to do it and the most affordable way to do it, is to use biomass," said Mrs Thompson.
The company is converting the third of its six units to run on biomass. To do more it will need to win subsidies in three renewables' auctions planned by the government in this parliament.
Failure to win contracts could force the closure of those units over the next decade.
While Amber Rudd's speech made no specific reference of supporting biomass, Mrs Thompson believes biomass can compete in energy generation.
"We are confident that if the government correctly structures the auctions, as they are now planning to do, that we will win," she said.
Mrs Thompson welcomed the Energy Secretary's move to bring clarity to where energy policy is going. "In my industry, which is about long term investment, clarity is important," she said.
But she warned that getting a new generation of gas plants built would not be easy.
She said: "There are an awful lot of gas plants that are going to be required because we have not only got coal closures, we have also got gas closures so it is quite a challenge they are facing.
"They recognise that if there are going to be new gas stations, they are going to need special support contracts because the economics don't work today and have not worked for quite a long time."

Clermont flanker Damien Chouly is included in the extended squad in place of Toulon back-rower Charles Ollivon.
Castres scrum-half Antoine Dupont and Brive back-rower Fabien Sanconnie retain their places after making debuts in the 18-40 win against Italy.
Meanwhile, Toulon prop Xavier Chiocci has also dropped out of the squad ahead of the visit of Rob Howley's side.
Forwards: Uini Atonio (La Rochelle), Rabah Slimani (Stade Français), Cyril Baille (Toulouse), Eddy Ben Arous (Racing 92), Mohamed Boughanmi (La Rochelle), Camille Chat (Racing 92), Guilhem Guirado (Toulon), Christopher Tolofua (Toulouse), Yoann Maestri (Toulouse), Sébastien Vahaamahina (Clermont), Julien Le Devedec (Brive), Paul Jedrasiak (Clermont), Damien Chouly (Clermont), Louis Picamoles (Northampton/ENG), Bernard le Roux (Racing 92), Kevin Gourdon (La Rochelle), Fabien Sanconnie (Brive).
Backs: Antoine Dupont (Castres), Baptiste Serin (Bordeaux-Bègles), Camille Lopez (Clermont), François Trinh-Duc (Toulon), Rémi Lamerat (Clermont), Gaël Fickou (Toulouse), Henry Chavancy (Racing 92), Jonathan Danty (Stade Français), Virimi Vakatawa (FFR), Noa Nakaitaci (Clermont), Yoann Huget (Toulouse), Scott Spedding (Clermont), Brice Dulin (Racing 92), Djibril Camara (Stade Français).
Lee Dent, 42, said he thought Alex Peguero Sosa, 17, had a knife before the late-night attack at a taxi rank in Kingsbridge, Devon.
He also told Plymouth Crown Court he did not know he had a bottle in his hand before striking Mr Peguero Sosa.
Mr Dent, from East Portlemouth, Devon, denies murdering Mr Peguero Sosa.
The former Plymouth Argyle youth squad player from Aveton Gifford, near Kingsbridge, was killed in the early hours of 6 July last year.
Mr Dent and Mr Peguero Sosa had been out socialising with friends before the attack in which Mr Dent stabbed Mr Peguero Sosa in the neck, the court heard.
Mr Dent told the court: "I thought he had a knife. He said he was going to stab me up."
Martin Meeke, defending, asked him if he had seen a knife and Mr Dent said he saw a "glint".
"He put me a position where I had no option but to defend myself," he said.
He also said that he had been more drunk than ever before.
The trial continues.
The Owls lost 4-3 on penalties after the tie finished 1-1 on aggregate, with Sam Hutchinson and Fernando Forestieri seeing efforts saved by Danny Ward.
"He said he did not feel confident," Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"The worst thing I could have done was force him to take one."
The 51-year-old added: "It would have been a big mistake to make him take one. It's one of the worst things you can do to a player.
"The five players who took them were the ones who had practised them best and said that they wanted to take them."
Rhodes, who has scored 175 league goals in his career, is on loan at the Owls from Middlesbrough before joining for a fee believed to be around £10m in the summer.
He has scored three goals in 20 appearances for the club and had a penalty saved in their 1-0 defeat by Leeds in February.
Defeat on Wednesday at Hillsborough means the Owls have failed to secure promotion through the play-offs for the second successive campaign. Last season they lost 1-0 to Hull City in the final at Wembley.
Owner Dejphon Chansiri said he wanted promotion in two years when he took over in March 2015 and there has been speculation that he intended to sack Carvalhal if the Owls failed to go up this season.
However, the Portuguese said nothing has been decided about his future.
"In the club there are two people who make decisions: the chairman and me," he said.
"I will have some time back home and then I will sit down with the chairman next week. I like the club and I have a good relationship with the chairman. I have no problems here. We will see what is decided."

In an open letter to mark the web's 28th anniversary, Sir Tim has set out a five-year strategy amid concerns he has about how the web is being used.
Sir Tim said he wants to start to combat the misuse of personal data, which creates a "chilling effect on free speech".
He also called for tighter regulation of "unethical" political adverts.
The British computer scientist said he wants the people who have helped develop the web with blogs, tweets, photos, videos and web pages to help come up with practical solutions to make a web "that gives equal power and opportunity to all".
Users are often unable to tell outlets what data they would not like shared, Sir Tim said. Terms and conditions were "all or nothing".
Sir Tim said he wants to work with companies to put "a fair level of data control back in the hands of people".
He also expressed concerns that government surveillance is going too far and stopping the web from being used to explore topics such as sensitive health issues, sexuality or religion.
Social media sites and search engines must be encouraged to continue efforts to combat the problem of fake news, Sir Tim said.
However, central bodies deciding what is true or not should be avoided, he added.
Certain algorithms can favour sensationalist information designed to surprise or shock users rather than reflect the truth and can "spread like wildfire", Sir Tim said.
The arrival of social media - and the fight for clicks - has meant real and fictional stories are presented in such a similar way that it can be hard to tell the two apart.
So-called "fake news" could be false information deliberately circulated by those who have scant regard for the truth but hope to advance particular (often extreme) political causes and make money out of online traffic.
Or it could be false information circulated by journalists who don't realise it's false.
Fake news has become so prevalent that the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee is now investigating concerns about the public being swayed by propaganda and untruths.
The committee was spurred by claims that voters in the US election were influenced by fake news, it said.
Pope Francis was reported to have backed Donald Trump's presidency campaign, for example, when he had not made an endorsement.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump himself has used the term fake news to refer to critical stories about his administration, picking out organisations such as CNN and BBC.
Sir Tim advocated transparency so users can understand how web pages appear on their devices and suggested a set of common principles for sites to follow.
And he raised concerns about how online political advertising had become a "sophisticated" industry.
Sir Tim said there were indications some targeted advertising was being used in "unethical ways" to keep voters away from the polls or directing people to fake news sites.
He suggested companies could put subscription payments and small automated charges in place to make money without these types of adverts.
However, despite highlighting issues on the world wide web which be believed need addressing, Sir Tim has admitted the solutions "will not be simple".
It was also the last time that the UK had negative inflation, according to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI).
In fact back then inflation had been negative for three months running, and in March 1960 reached its biggest fall, at - 0.6%.
Not since then have we known the spectre of deflation.
At first sight, it looks like pretty good news.
Essentials like petrol, food and transport are cheaper than they were a year ago.
Yet for those who produce the oil, or the farmers who make the milk, this is not good news at all.
But first, does a decline of -0.1% in CPI really count as deflation?
Sorry to be pedantic but, so far, this looks like more of a case of "negative inflation", not deflation. The only difference being that economists define negative inflation as something short-term, while deflation is longer-term. Anyone going to a Japanese take-away in Tokyo, where prices have stayed the same for two decades, knows the difference between the two.
And that is why the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, said the UK economy was likely to go into negative inflation "briefly." At last week's quarterly inflation report, he said: "A temporary period of falling prices should not be mistaken for a damaging spiral of deflation." You have been told.
In this particular case, Mark Carney said negative inflation was "unambiguously good". That is because lower petrol and food prices are good for everyone. Even the farmer gets some benefit, because he too buys food and fuel.
If we spend less on filling up our tanks and doing the supermarket shop, we have money to spend on other things. On average, we're each expected to save £140 as a result of lower petrol prices this year. So businesses from fashion stores to fun-fairs should benefit. But if negative inflation is unambiguously good in this case, when is it ambiguously good - or unambiguously bad?
Food and fuel are things we all need to buy immediately. But other goods - like televisions or cars - are discretionary. If the price starts to go down for any sustained period, we could save money by buying them later. If we delay our spending, which amounts to around 70% of all economic activity, the economy will slow.
The economist Roger Bootle divides negative inflation into good and bad: 'Bad' is when there is such weak demand in the economy that companies are forced to reduce prices - and wages. 'Good' is when negative inflation comes from lower import costs, as is the case right now.
Negative inflation and even more, deflation, is not good news if you are a borrower. Imagine you take out a mortgage, and your fixed monthly repayment is £500. In an era of deflation, your wages might even go down. In which case, your £500 becomes a larger proportion of your salary - and paying it off becomes more painful.
In an era of high inflation the opposite is true: as your salary rises, your borrowing becomes a smaller proportion of your spending, and so becomes more manageable.
It's not just people affected by this. Governments with large deficits experience exactly the same thing- and thus long for some inflation.
In a time of rising prices, it is easy for companies to put up wages. But it is also easier for them to give below-inflation pay rises. If inflation is 3%, a pay rise of 2.5% still feels like a pay rise. But if inflation is zero, or negative, it is hard to cut salaries.
Doing so may be necessary, but it is bad for morale and productivity.
Yes. The longer that inflation is below the Bank of England's target, the longer it will be before a rise in interest rates. But more than that, the longer we have zero or negative inflation, the more likely it is that the next move in interest rates could be down, rather than up.
But negative inflation is unlikely to last. Mark Carney has said CPI should pick up "notably" towards the end of the year. As a result of that, experts still expect that interest rates will rise in the summer of 2016.
No. The return - or interest rate - on Index-linked national savings certificates is based on the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation, not CPI. RPI, which includes some housing costs, is currently + 0.9%.
But even if RPI went negative, the return on index-linked certificates would not fall below zero. You would not be paying the government to lend it money.
National Savings and Investments (NS&I) adjusts the returns on such products throughout the year, to take account of ups and downs in RPI.
Similarly, pensions linked to inflation are unlikely to be affected.
Many private sector defined benefit schemes are linked to RPI, while most public sector schemes use September's inflation rate to set annual pension pay-outs.
Louise Kennedy, originally from County Wicklow, applied for permanent residency after two years in Australia.
She had been working as a vet in Queensland.
Ms Kennedy told the Irish Independent she thought there had been a mistake after she had failed the oral section of an English test.
"It was even such a pain to take the whole day off work to do the test and then be told I can't speak English," she said.
The mandatory test involved writing, reading and speaking, with the oral section scored by voice-recognition technology.
Ms Kennedy, who is married to an Australian and expecting her first child, said the oral test involved reading a paragraph that appeared on screen and it was "very, very easy".
However, she was told she had scored 74 points - below the 79 points required for a residency visa.
"I just thought (it was a mistake) and I'll ring them up and they'll listen to it again," she said.
The vet said she believed the failure was caused by flaws in the voice-recognition technology.
The company that runs the test, Pearson, told the Australian Associated Press there were no problems with its system.
Sasha Hampson, the head of English for Pearson Asia Pacific, said the immigration department set the bar very high for people seeking permanent residency.
Ms Kennedy said she had been offered the chance to re-do the test free of charge due to "possible interference" caused by construction work outside the centre.
She also said she had begun the process of applying for a more expensive spouse visa as there may not be enough time for her to re-do the test and and receive a skilled immigrant visa before her skilled worker visa expired.
The investment comes as plans were announced to reinvent the corporation "for a new generation" and combat competition from media giants like Netflix and Amazon.
Director general Tony Hall said it was "the biggest investment in children's services in a generation".
The funding was unveiled as part of the BBC's first Annual Plan.
Setting out the BBC's ambitions for the coming year, the extra money for children's content is going to be invested across the three years to 2019-20.
Lord Hall said: "Our ambition to reinvent the BBC for a new generation is our biggest priority for next year. Every part of the BBC will need to contribute to meeting this challenge."
The new investment, delivered following savings made across the BBC, will see the budget for children's programming reach £124.4m by 2019-20, up from the current figure of £110m.
In the three years, £31.4m will be spent online on content that will include video, live online programme extensions, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, quizzes, guides, games and apps.
Lord Hall said it was "the biggest investment for a generation" and will "increasingly offer a personalised online offering for our younger viewers".
The BBC said it wants to respond to changes to the way children "are watching and consuming programmes", adding: "Investment in British content - particularly for the young - is vital, unless we want more of our culture shaped and defined by the rise of West Coast American companies."
By David Sillito, media and arts correspondent
Over the last six years, children's TV viewing has dropped by more than a quarter.
Youngsters now spend more time online than they do in front of the television, around 15 hours a week. Even pre-schoolers spend more than eight hours a week online, according to Ofcom.
Naturally then, the CBBC channel aimed at six to 12-year-olds has seen a drop in its audience, and increasingly children are choosing to use the BBC's iPlayer.
Viewing habits are changing, but so too is the content they are watching. Shorter video clips, interactive content and games are all going to increase.
The setting for all of this is a long-term decline in spending on British children's programmes by other broadcasters - ITV's programming went from 424 hours in 1998 to 64 in 2013 - and the dominance of US programming.
This will only increase in an online world dominated by the tech giants. Children's culture is being shaped by firms based on the west coast of America.
The annual plan also explains how the BBC is aiming to tackle such challenges as "fake news" with BBC News's Reality Check being expanded to fact-check social media claims, and work being done alongside Facebook to build trust.
It also shows how the corporation will "rise to the challenge of better reflecting and representing a changing UK" and how it is focusing on personalisation.
The BBC's creative plans for the next 12 months also include:
The annual plan is not the same as the BBC's annual report, which looks back over the previous year's performance and publishes details about the corporation's finances and spending. That report is expected later this month.

It said the two rival cities could offer complementary events which would draw more visitors to the wider area.
It also recommended improving accommodation and transport links.
However, it said the biggest challenge for the festivals, which are held in August. was funding.
The Thundering Hooves report said with public funding shrinking, the festivals' organisers needed to find new and innovative ways of raising cash.
Lady Susan Rice, Festivals Forum chairwoman, said: "Following the publication of the first Thundering Hooves, the results achieved to date are compelling testament to the power of ambition and collaboration.
"We're delighted to share Thundering Hooves 2.0, an important report which sets out the strategic plan and recommended actions for Festivals Forum to take forward during the next ten years.
"While much has been delivered already, this review and re-focus will ensure Edinburgh addresses key challenges and opportunities ensuring the Festival City retains its global competitive edge in the months and years to come."
The 12 festivals the city offers include the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Edinburgh International Book Festival, Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Edinburgh's Hogmanay.
The report noted that the festivals were "behind the curve" on digital innovation and risked being overtaken by others despite some important programmes and initiatives.
It said that Edinburgh's festivals should be a "digital phenomenon as well as a physical one" and needed to be leaders in the digital sphere as well as the festival sphere.
The report said that digital should be the next big area of growth in content distribution and audience development, across all festivals.
However, it said that developing the digital area would require significant city and national partnership and investment.
The report also recommended further developing international partnerships to give the nation a voice on the world stage.
On the issue of investment, it urged funders to maintain core and project funding while alternative funding models were considered, and encouraged the wider business community to invest in the festivals.
It also recommended ways for stakeholders to develop the Festivals Forum by adopting new terms of reference and responsibilities.
Richard Lewis, Edinburgh's festivals and events champion, said: "Our festivals are worth in excess of £261m to the Scottish economy.
"While recognising the financial constraints we currently have to deal with as a local authority, we need to work together with festival partners to support their ambitions and ensure our residents, visitors, businesses and educational institutions continue to benefit from them in the future.
"The partnership approach to the first study has clearly paid off and while progress has not been possible in every area, there is a solid foundation from which to work as we all aim to take the findings of the new Thundering Hooves 2.0 report forward."
The guns have largely fallen silent, more than 18 months after Russia annexed Crimea and pro-Russian rebels took control of large areas of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The diplomatic language has become more positive.
Russia's Vladimir Putin and President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine met in Paris earlier this month and, shortly afterwards, local elections planned in the rebel-held east were postponed.
The planned vote in rebel-held territory had threatened to derail negotiations involving the rebels.
But now there are regular reports of both sides withdrawing weapons from the frontline.
For the region's civilians, it marks a dramatic change in their lives.
But behind the ceasefire agreement reached in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, between the so-called Normandy Four (Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France) intractable and seemingly insoluble issues remain.
Even before you get into the detail, things do not look good.
The language from the rebel leadership in eastern Ukraine is uncompromising.
"There's more chance of Ukraine becoming part of us than of us returning to Ukraine," the leader of the pro-Russian self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Zarkharchenko, told the BBC recently at a propaganda-fuelled event to honour the rebels' war dead.
He and the pro-rebel media machine have spent the past few months telling the local population who didn't flee that they are fighting "fascists", in the form of Ukraine's army.
A sudden change of tone would risk a loss of credibility.
However the rebels are not a homogeneous bunch.
Denis Pushilin, who has represented the rebels in the Minsk talks, is seen as more moderate and possibly more willing to do business with Ukraine than Mr Zakharchenko.
The most fundamental part of the Minsk agreement is that rebel-held land has to be re-integrated back into Ukraine, albeit with more autonomy from Kiev. The detail of this is yet to be worked out.
Even though it is positive that the rebels' have postponed their elections, probably with some prompting from Moscow, a later date only buys time.
The detail still needs to be worked out.
Who will police the elections? Kiev says the rebels, who it deems to be "terrorists", would have to disband and submit to Ukrainian law.
Which parties will stand in a poll? A senior member of Ukraine's government recently told me there was no chance of an amnesty for the pro-Russian rebels whom he termed "criminals".
Then there is the issue of who is able to vote in the elections.
The Ukrainians want all those people who have fled rebel territory to have the right to return or at least to vote.
We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people.
Many are in Russia and the Moscow government would like them to be able to vote, remotely, from there. Ukraine says no.

Odessa leads Ukraine's battle for reform - foreign experts head to southern Ukraine to fight corruption
In theory, after elections, Ukraine should retake full control of its side of the border with Russia.
However, again, this would be tantamount to the rebels switching off their own life-support machine.
So is the Minsk ceasefire deal simply an act of political pantomime and is President Putin writing the script?
Maybe. Talk of Moscow withdrawing financial, political and alleged military backing for the rebels is unfounded and, for now, based mainly on rumour.
Russia would like the EU to lift sanctions to help its stuttering energy-dependent economy.
Many Ukrainians believe Mr Putin is keen to show willing to get sanctions dropped.
They fear France and Germany, with more pressing problems such as the influx of migrants and refugees, might accept gestures from Moscow without a binding deal that returns full sovereignty over the east back to Kiev.
But the accusation of political pantomime might be levelled at Kiev too.
The economy and infrastructure in the rebel-held east have been ruined by the conflict.
President Poroshenko has to appear committed to retaking the east, facing a threat from opposition parties and local elections due in Ukraine on Sunday.
Any sign that Kiev has given up on the region might risk provoking nationalist groups who might feel that their fallen comrades died for nothing, if the east is simply surrendered.
But there seems little chance that the east might be re-integrated into the rest of Ukraine without a change of government in Moscow.
So the chances are that a so-called "frozen conflict" may persist, where the fighting is at a low level, but the threat of escalation remains.
For now the firing has stopped in the east, but the conflict is nowhere near over.
Telegraph journalist Lyndsey Telford recorded a call-taker at South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) saying they had all "killed someone indirectly".
Another employee was filmed explaining how ambulance shortages meant seriously ill patients were being left waiting.
The service said it wanted to assure the public its system was safe.
Ms Telford, who successfully applied for a job at the 111 call centre in Bicester, Oxfordshire, recorded conversations with staff during a one-month training course.
She was trained to use the service's Pathways computer system, which uses a series of questions to assess the seriousness of the patient's condition.
During one recording, her training mentor can be heard saying: "You can get out of sending ambulances with chest pain quite easily... You can get people to say 'no' to almost anything if you ask it in a certain way."
The mentor added: "One way or another, everyone in this room has killed someone indirectly because of what we've done but we're covered because it's all recorded."
In another conversation, a trainer reveals he caught a former dispatcher altering ambulance response times to hit targets.
The ambulance service's director of strategy James Underhay said: "We take the issues and points raised by the undercover reporter very seriously and as a result of this we have launched an internal investigation to review the allegations.
"With regard to our NHS 111 services, we would like to reassure members of the public that [we] use a safe and nationally prescribed call-taking and clinical assessment system, NHS Pathways, which assists us in ensuring that patients in a life-threatening or serious condition are treated as a priority."
The call centre handles calls from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
London Fire Brigade said that in 2015 there were 1,499 incidents of under-18s getting stuck in things and put the cost to the service at £488,675.
Some of the incidents have also included a toy train being stuck on a finger and a hand stuck in a door.
It was also called out to a 13-year-old stuck on a baby swing in a park.
Mark Hazelton, community safety group manager said: "I'm a father so I know it's impossible to watch your children every second of the day but with a bit of extra forethought and careful supervision it's far better to prevent youngsters getting in a tight spot in the first place.
"Many of the incidents we get called to could be avoided with a little bit of common sense.
"I would ask parents to keep an eye on their children and only call 999 if it is a real emergency."
The service released the figures ahead of Child Safety Week.
According to weekend studio estimates, Star Wars took $41.6m (£28.5m) in the US and Canada.
Western The Revenant, which won three Golden Globes, came second after taking $38m (£26m) on its opening weekend.
Comedy Daddy's Home, with Will Ferrell's DJ seeking his stepchildren's love, took $15m (£10m) in week three.
The continued success of Star Wars means it has now become the biggest movie to date in the US and Canada.
It has become the first to make more than $800m (£550m), having taken $812m (£558m) so far.
Its global total now stands at $1.73bn (£1.19bn), according to producers Walt Disney, which means it has overtaken Jurassic World, which made $1.67bn (£1.15bn).
The film is therefore the third most successful movie in the world to date.
Ahead of it stands Titanic at number two, which made $2.2bn (£150m) from 1997-98, and Avatar, still holds the number one spot with $2.8bn (£192m) taken from 2009-10.
A record-breaking opening in China last week has made a huge contribution to the global success of Star Wars, which made $53m (£36m) in its debut weekend, described as "spectacular" by Disney's executive vice-president Dave Hollis.
The Revenant, from Alejandrao Inarritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, tells the story of an 1820s frontiersman who gets mauled by a bear. Despite coming in second, it defied expectations as its hard-hitting content was not considered a draw to a large section of the audience. As such, it was on limited release in New York and Los Angeles.
However, the movie had been heavily tipped for success at this year's Academy Awards, even before Sunday's Globes glory, which could have contributed to its strong audience draw.
"It's very graphic, it's very real," said 20th Century Fox's Chris Aronson. `"You watch this and you're going to feel cold."
Having the film open after Star Wars has helped give it a chance to raise its profile, he added.
"Now I think there's a specialness to this film that might have been lost earlier.'"
Of the Top 10 films this weekend, only supernatural horror The Forest was a new release and it managed to come fourth even with all the competition, after taking $13.1m (£9m).
Nick Medlin, 57, was pronounced dead at the scene in Pier Street, Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight, just after midnight.
Michael Hudson, 32, of no fixed address, has been charged with manslaughter and is due at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Two men, aged 31 and 26, arrested on suspicion of murder, have been bailed until 11 April, said police.
Mr Medlin, a father-of-two, played bass in a punk band called Manufactured Romance.
In a statement released by police, his family said they were "completely devastated and totally heartbroken" by his death.
Hampshire Constabulary has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
World number two Spieth fired a five-under 65 to join Brooks Koepka and Bud Cauley in a share of the lead after the morning starters finished their rounds.
Overnight leader Sergio Garcia joined them at 11 under with a 66.
But Crane, ranked 405 in the world, moved one clear after a round of 63 which included eight birdies.
It continued the turnaround for the American who had completed his first bogey-free round in 36 attempts on Thursday.
Spieth dropped six shots in three holes as Danny Willett won the Masters in April, missing the cut at the Players Championship in his next outing.
As in the opening round, Spieth again dropped a shot on the par-three 13th in Texas, but also enjoyed six birdies.
"I took advantage of the easier holes, a couple of the long holes, I found both par fives in two and two-putted for birdies," said Spieth, who made his PGA Tour debut at the 2010 Byron Nelson, finishing tied for 16th aged 16.
England's Greg Owen (69) was joint 37th on four under, but Ian Poulter missed the cut after a 73 left him at level par.

Woking went ahead just three minutes into the game when defender Terrell Thomas headed home his first goal of the season from close range following a corner from the right.
Kristian Green prevented Woking from doubling their lead five minutes before the break when he cleared off the line following another corner.
Shepherd Murombedzi then headed straight at Michael Poke from Omari Sterling's cross on the stroke of half-time as Solihull threatened.
And Solihull almost pulled level nine minutes after the break when George Carline met Sterling's corner but his effort was hacked off the line.
The goal Solihull deserved came after 59 minutes when Sterling's shot was not held by Poke and Murombedzi turned the rebound into the net.
That equaliser brought Woking to life and Nathan Baxter tipped over Gozie Ugwu's shot before they went back ahead when Saraiva slotted home Ugwu's cross from the right.
The lively Ugwu then hit the crossbar late on from an acute angle.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
The Bluebirds are the second-lowest scorers at home in the Championship with just eight and the third-lowest scorers in total with 19 from 20 games.
After a draw at Ipswich, third-from-bottom Cardiff face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday, hoping to climb out of the relegation zone.
"We've got to try to create more," Warnock told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
Only Wigan, with six have scored fewer times in front of their own fans than the Welsh club, while only the Latics with 16 and Ipswich with 18 have scored fewer than Cardiff in the Championship.
Former England-international striker Rickie Lambert remains the Bluebirds' top-scorer having found the net four times with Anthony Pilkington and Peter Whittingham behind him with three each.
Cardiff's next highest scorer is defender Shane Duffy, now with Brighton, who scored two own goals at Cardiff City Stadium in August.
Warnock believes defensively his side are starting to gel, but has urged his players to create more goal-scoring opportunities and, more importantly, to take them.
"The lads have got to be more convincing, have a bit more confidence in themselves," said Warnock.
"We are quite solid now. I thought (Matthew) Connolly did really well against Ipswich and (Lee) Peltier at the back.
"I was pleased with (Peter) Whittingham in there. It's just a matter of getting a goal or two. We'll have to look how we can do that."
Cardiff are preparing for two home games with Barnsley the visitors on Saturday, 17 December following the Wolves game.
Warnock said those matches are a chance for his side to climb out of the Championship bottom three and insists the Bluebirds' home support will have a big part to play.
"It's going to be an interesting game (against Wolves), but it's one we have to look to win as it's at home," Warnock added.
"We've got two home games and we've got opportunities this week to get some points on the board.
"We are going into it with confidence, we've had two good games, really.
"It's an intimidating place when the crowd is going."
Warnock says Bruno Manga will come in for suspended Sol Bamba against Wolves.
The Cardiff manager has already indicated he is willing to sell Manga during the January transfer window.
The 13-year-old has been rescued and taken to a state-run shelter home.
She has told counsellors that her parents would solicit customers and force her to have sex with the men.
Her mother has told a news channel that she would charge 3,000 rupees (£30; $47) from a customer for her daughter.
Police said they had identified 25 of the 40 customers who had allegedly paid for sex with the teenager.
Ten others, including a broker, have also been arrested in connection with the case.
The 37-year-old mother has seven children - the oldest is 24 years old and the youngest is aged four.
Her 55-year-old husband worked as a driver and would solicit customers showing the girl's photograph, police said.
The family lived in a rented house in the town of Kottakal in Malappuram district in the north of the state.
In 2011, police in Kerala arrested the father of a 17-year-old girl for forcing her to have sex for money with up to 200 men.
Twenty-nine others were arrested in connection with the case.
A letter seen by the BBC asked parishes to raise more money to try to reduce subsidies from the Chichester diocese.
In the letter, The Reverend Stan Tomalin said the diocese would run out of unrestricted funds in the middle of 2013, if the situation did not change.
The diocese said it was examining its financial position rigorously.
Mr Tomalin, rural dean of Dallington Deanery, said: "I don't think it's a crisis yet.
"I think we're still at the stage of being able to do something about it so that it doesn't become a crisis.
"But if over the next 12 to 18 months, the call to raise the finance necessary doesn't happen, then at that point difficult decisions will have to start to be made."
In his letter, he wrote: "It seems the finances of the diocese have deteriorated far faster than feared."
He added the bishop had "placed a temporary moratorium on all new posts throughout the diocese until at least November".
He said: "It hasn't yet got to the point where we have to justify each and every post - although that may well be not far off."
In a statement, Angela Sibson, diocesan secretary, said: "... the diocese is examining its financial position rigorously as a matter of good housekeeping, recognising the financial challenges ahead and that it has to keep a close eye on income and expenditure."
Editor of the Church of England Newspaper, Colin Blakely, said dioceses across the country were facing serious problems that were partly due to declining church attendance.
He said: "With such a massive drop in the number of people going [and] the number of people who are giving to the church - that's going to affect all sorts of things."
Three dioceses had already been merged in the north of England because of declining revenues, he said.
He said the church had estimated numbers of people attending weekly would fall from the current 1.2 million to 125,000 by 2057.
A 45-year-old man was found seriously injured in a property in Forth View, Kirkcaldy, at about 0500 on Thursday. He died at the scene.
The flats were cordoned off as forensic officers searched the area and neighbours were interviewed.
A 61-year-old man is due to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court later charged with murder.

The Price of Football, the biggest study of its kind in Europe, looked at prices at 223 clubs.
More than two thirds of ticket prices across the UK have been either cut or frozen for the 2016-17 season.
However, an away ticket in the Championship can now be more expensive than for a Premier League match.
This is because top-flight clubs have capped prices for visiting fans at £30.

Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, said: "On their current £8.3bn deal, the Premier League could afford to let every single fan in free for every game and still have as much money as they had under the previous deal.
"That gives you an idea of the scale of the amount of money they have got."
The Premier League said in a statement: "Clubs are listening to their fans and working hard to make sure that Premier League football is accessible as well as competitive and compelling."
The study also found replica shirt prices have increased year-on-year and half of top-flight clubs put up the price of their junior shirts.
For the first time, we asked clubs for the percentage of male and female season-ticket holders. In the Premier League, 14 clubs responded, with Southampton revealing one in five of their season-ticket holders are women, while at Liverpool the figure is 11%.
Other findings include:
With the bumper 2016-2019 Premier League TV rights deal coming into effect - which includes £5bn for domestic rights and another £3bn globally - top-flight clubs will each benefit by a minimum of £100m.
In this year's study, we contacted 223 clubs across 23 leagues in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the continent.
We have analysed ticket prices in six categories - cheapest matchday, dearest matchday, cheapest away ticket, dearest away ticket, cheapest and dearest season tickets - as well as teas, pies, programmes and junior and adult shirt prices.
The rate of inflation over the past year, as measured by the Consumer Price index, is 0.9%, and over the six years of study it is 15.65%.

English Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey:
"It's clear to see from the recent research that EFL clubs are working very hard to ensure home and away ticket pricing continues to be as competitive and affordable as possible.
"In addition to the BBC's findings, we know from our own analysis that EFL clubs have reached a significant landmark this season, in attracting over 500,000 season-ticket holders across the three divisions for the first time.
"Quite rightly, clubs make the final decisions on pricing models and we will continue to work with them to ensure the positive trends highlighted are maintained and that football attendances across the three divisions of the EFL continue to thrive."
Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster:
"All 42 SPFL clubs work tirelessly to ensure they have a pricing structure which provides as much value for money as possible, especially for families to help attract the next generation of supporters.
"We know that while much progress has been made in three years there is much more that can and needs to be done to help make Scottish football as attractive as it can be to existing and potential customers."
Football Supporters' Federation chairman Malcolm Clarke:
"We believe it's a positive thing that almost three quarters of ticket prices have been reduced or frozen. That's thanks in no small part to pressure from football supporters up and down the country.
"There is no room for complacency, however, with some Premier League clubs charging far too much for their season tickets and away ticket prices in the Championship being the most expensive in the country. We will remain vigilant and continue our campaigning to make football affordable for this generation of supporters and the next."
The Premier League:
"Clubs value their fans and appreciate their support. Full and vibrant grounds are a significant part of what makes the Premier League a great football competition.
"Research we published only last week, using club data and analysis by leading professional services company EY, detailed not only the price of tickets, but the number purchased at each price. The research also found that four million tickets are discounted from the publicly listed price through early-bird renewals and concessions.
"The data demonstrated the real prices being paid by fans and what volume of tickets are being sold at what levels, finding that 56% of fans in Premier League stadiums this season will pay £30 or less per game with the average price paid being £31."
Burnley chief executive David Baldwin:
"What's very evident about Burnley as a town is that it is very much a one-club town. You very rarely see other club colours being worn around the town. It is very much claret and blue.
"We don't take that for granted because what we have to be conscious of is what is affordable to people. You don't want them to fall out of the love of football.
"We've established this year a fans' forum so fans can discuss ticket prices for next year and we already have a number of supporter consultant groups that we discuss our pricing policy with before it goes forward for a recommendation."
Shadow Sports Minister Dr Rosena Allin-Khan:
"Football should be accessible to everyone, from Sunday League to Premier League.
"I am pleased to see the average cost of Premier League tickets come down this year, but with the amount of television and sponsorship money being pumped into football - more needs to be done.
"Despite the small reduction in ticket prices, the vast majority of fans are priced out of football. Children look up to these players, they are role models for millions - yet it costs £40 for a child to wear the same shirt."
Allegra Stratton's departure follows that of the BBC's economics editor Robert Peston, who was poached by the rival broadcaster last month.
Stratton has been with Newsnight for almost four years. Before that she was The Guardian's political correspondent.
The former BBC producer, who will take up her new role in the new year, said she was "thrilled" to join ITV News.
"It will be a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside such a strong team and I can't wait to get started," he said.
Geoff Hill, the editor of ITV News, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Allegra will be joining our newsroom.
"She is one of the most talented and knowledgeable journalists in the business, with a long and impressive track record."
Ian Katz, editor of BBC Two's Newsnight, said: "We'll miss her greatly but wish her the very best in her new role."
Stratton's new role will see her reunited with Peston, whose appointment as ITV's new political editor was confirmed in October.
ITV News's Rohit Kachroo will move from UK Editor to the newly created role of Security Editor.
Kachroo said it was "a privilege" to take up the position "at a time when national and global security require so much of our attention".
The Cherries manager says his summer spending is not finished despite already bringing in six new players.
Howe also has concerns over an injury to midfielder Harry Arter, which could rule him out of their top-flight opener at home to Aston Villa on 8 August.
"I'm aware we need to beef up in certain areas, but if not, I believe in the players we have already," he said.
Arter, 25, has been absent from pre-season training since sustaining hip and groin injuries while playing for the Republic of Ireland against England in June.
"Hopefully Harry will not be out for too long," Howe added. "We've had some positive news this week with his recovery.
"If he was to be out long-term, we would be left with four recognised central-midfielders, which could leave us light in that area."
Meanwhile, Bournemouth have agreed an undisclosed compensation figure with Blackburn Rovers for winger Joshua King.
The 23-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Cherries in May after rejecting a contract offer at Ewood Park.
Rovers were entitled to compensation for the Norway international under Fifa regulations as he is under the age of 24.
Rossi, a Parsons Russell Terrier, became trapped while walking with his owner in woodland.
Firefighters were called to Nine Days Lane in Redditch on Sunday evening.
They used a special camera on a wire to find Rossi and lure him out of the hole using treats. He was uninjured when he was freed after two-and-a-half hours.
Firefighter Robert Sproat said: "It took a lot longer than expected because of the location and the lack of light but it was a good result.
"He obviously had a few daredevil stunts of his own to pull."

On Thursday afternoon, fans booking weekend flights to Paris and Lyon were met with eye-watering prices.
Ryanair announced that it would schedule five extra return flights from Dublin to Lyon on Saturday and Sunday.
By 14:00 BST, a Dublin to Lyon return flight was priced at €629 (£482).
Flybe said on Thursday afternoon that seats were available on flights from Belfast to Paris via English airports.
However, these flights were also coming in at about £500 return.
Meanwhile, an Aer Lingus return flight from Dublin to Paris, leaving on Friday and returning on Monday, was priced at €855 (£656) on Thursday afternoon.
The only available Stena Line direct sailing from Rosslare to Cherbourg departs at 20:30 BST on Thursday evening and will see football fans arrive in France at 16:30 local time on Friday.
The website advertises sailings on this route for prices as low as £89 for a single car and adult.
However, on Thursday afternoon a single car with one adult and one seat on board rose to £297.
Northern Ireland fan Gary Arrell went online on Thursday to book return flights to Paris for himself and his wife, but decided against it when he realised it would cost £1,050.
"To be honest, I was tempted, but my wife was dead against paying that much for flights that, on Wednesday evening, were less than half that price.
"That wasn't even a direct flight - it was going through England.
"I would have booked earlier, but I thought there was no point before knowing if I'd have a ticket to the match.
"I know it's a matter of supply and demand, but it does feel like they're sticking the arm in a bit."
Mr Arrell faced further frustration when he logged on to the Irish FA site to secure one of the Northern Ireland v Wales tickets that went on sale at 13.00 on Thursday.
"After 50 minutes in an online queue, I was told all the tickets were sold," he said, although the Dundonald man managed to be philosophical about his bad luck.
"Maybe I'll get on the bike and take my chances with a ticket when I get there!
"It would have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it just wasn't meant to be."
Belfast International Airport said it has experienced a few knock-on delays due to French air traffic controllers strike, but no cancellations
He transformed the game after the visitors threatened a fifth away win after coming off the bench on the hour as part of a double change which also brought on Kevin Van Veen.
The two made an almost instant impact, combining for the 66th-minute equaliser.
Van Veen found room in the box to get in a shot that keeper David Martin could not hold and Madden raced in to apply the finishing touch from close range.
He then fired Scunthorpe in front in the 81st minute, sweeping his shot low into the bottom far corner from an inviting low cross from the right by Josh Morris.
The home side had started on the front foot and were almost gifted a second-minute lead when Martin fumbled a shot from Duane Holmes against his own crossbar.
Martin was the central figure again in the 11th minute when the home side had strong appeals for a penalty turned down when striker Tom Hopper appeared to be floored in the box by a high challenge from the keeper.
MK Dons, with one of the best away records in the Football League, weathered the early storm and snatched a 37th-minute lead when poor defending down Scunthorpe's right flank freed Ben Reeves to deliver a low cross into the box which was turned home by striker Kieran Agard.
They comfortably held that lead until Madden and Van Veen changed the game.

Jonathan Grounds fired into the roof of the net to put Blues ahead after Bartosz Bialkowski saved Lukas Jutkiewicz's initial shot.
Jutkiewicz almost doubled the lead when put through by Craig Gardner's reverse pass, but Bialkowski saved well.
Town's equaliser had a touch of good fortune when Grant Ward's overhit cross flew over Tomasz Kuszczak into the net.
Freddie Sears should have opened the scoring for Town, who are winless in eight matches, but fired straight at the legs of Kuszczak, and then had a goal ruled out for offside.
But Birmingham, who have won just twice in 20 matches since Gianfranco Zola took over as manager, created chances to secure their fifth away win of the season.
David Davis was inches away from connecting with Jutkiewicz's low cross before Bialkowski made a fine save to keep out David McGoldrick's header towards his own goal.
Ipswich substitute Kevin Bru went close late on to what would have been only a second win in 13 matches, but his curling shot was narrowly wide.
The Tractor Boys' fifth successive home draw keeps them 17th, a place above Birmingham on goal difference, with both sides six points above the relegation zone.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "I don't want to be involved in a relegation fight. We've got to get enough points and stay in the league.
"I thought the first half was a Championship scrap that we probably shaded, but we lost all our momentum for giving a poor goal away.
"Bartosz Bialkowski kept us in it and we weren't playing well. It was a horrible atmosphere and we got away with a wonder-strike, or a lucky cross, to get a point."
Birmingham manager Gianfranco Zola told BBC WM: "We looked like we were cruising. We scored a goal and I didn't see them scoring because we were defending very well.
"We had a couple of great chances, but we didn't convert. It is a pity because probably we deserved a little bit more.
"They [the players] fought very hard today - a lot of players have run a lot - so it will be important to recover quickly."

The 33-year-old died in February. Farren had been receiving treatment for an aggressive brain tumour.
Derry City Football Club retired the number 18 jersey in tribute and a new stand will also be named after him.
Terri-Louise Farren described Christmas Eve 2008, when Mark was diagnosed, as the moment "the world ended."
"When we drove up in the car, met the doctor and he just said 'there's no easy way of putting this but you've got a brain tumour," she said.
"Everything that the doctor said after that, we didn't even pick up. All we took in was that he had a brain tumour and that was it."
"The following December we got married and it was just normal life for us after that. To me it didn't matter if I only had him for two weeks after my wedding or five years, you're in for the long haul and I couldn't picture not having that."
Farren was part of the successful Derry teams that won the FAI Cup in 2006 and 2012, and was voted player of the year by the Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland in 2005.
Born in Donegal, Farren played for Derry City FC from 2003 to 2012.
He scored 113 goals in 209 appearances becoming the club's all-time leading goal scorer.
Farren was forced into early retirement after his diagnosis in 2008 but returned in 2009 following successful brain surgery.
He broke Liam Coyle's all-time goal scoring record for the club in 2012 shortly before he left the game permanently in 2013.
Not long after their marriage in 2009, the couple once again faced tragedy after Terri-Louise gave birth to premature triplets.
"They were 23 weeks plus five days when they were born but they were just so tiny.
"We had them for three weeks, they had like a two percent chance of living and we fought tooth and nail with every bone in our body to try and keep them but it wasn't meant to be," she said.
"Mark was the only reason I got through the girls situation and I think the trauma of that is what brought us us closer in the end.
"I used to question my faith everyday. Why me...but it definitely made us stronger as a couple."
In late February, Derry City and Strabane District Council confirmed that the new stand at Brandywell stadium would be named in memory of the striker.
"I think he would be absolutely privileged if he was here today," Terri-Louise told BBC Radio Foyle.
"When I chat to people three words that come across is the most humble, gentle down to earth person that we'll you'd ever come across.
"I slowly watched my husband die for a year in front of me. I just hope nobody has to feel something like that," she said.
"I know my life's going to move on at some point and I'm happy that I'm able to move on. I've got to keep fighting and fighting."
Laxman Muthiyah was playing around with Graph API - the tool which developers use to make Facebook apps.
Testing it on his own photos, Muthiyah found a way to manipulate the code so that it deleted one of his images.
"What if your photos get deleted without your knowledge? Obviously that's very disgusting isn't it?" he wrote on his blog.
"I got access to delete all of your Facebook photos (photos which are public or the photos I could see)," explained Mathuyah.
He immediately reported the bug to Facebook's security team.
"They were fast in identifying this issue and there was a fix in place in less than two hours from the acknowledgement of the report."
It does not appear that any misuse has been reported as a result of this bug - and private photos and data were not affected.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the sequence of events, saying in a statement: "We received a report about an issue with our Graph API and quickly fixed it
"We'd like to thank the researcher who reported the issue to us through our bug bounty program."
Facebook has a programme in place where "white hats" or ethical computer hackers, can report vulnerabilities to the site.
"If you give us reasonable time to respond to your report before making any information public, and make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service during your research, we will not bring any lawsuit against you or ask law enforcement to investigate you," the social network says.
A number white hats are also offered a "monetary bounty" for reporting bugs, while some have their names posted to a thank you page on the site.
Muthiyah has posted a screenshot of a Facebook message saying he has been offered $12,500 (£8,130) as a reward for finding the fault.

The latest data returned by Nasa's Messenger probe shows that view couldn't be further from the truth.
In among a raft of papers published in this week's edition of the journal Science, researchers reveal strange hollows that pock Mercury's surface.
Irregular in shape, these depressions seem to form in the bright deposits that have been excavated where meteorites have impacted the surface.
The Messenger team cannot be sure what has caused them, but on Mars similar features are also known to exist.
In the case of the Red Planet, they are probably a consequence of evaporating carbon dioxide ice.
As the ice is driven off in the warmth of the Sun, it leaves a hole in the ground that produces a kind "Swiss cheese" terrain.
On Mercury, there is no carbon dioxide ice, so it would have to be some other kind of volatile material in play.
"It could be that there is some component in Mercury rocks that is unstable when it is exposed to the environment at the surface," said David Blewett of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland.
"As a result of this instability, portions of the surface could degrade, leading to collapse and erosion and thus forming the depressions."
Clues to what those materials might be come from Messenger's X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometers.
These instruments are detecting relatively high abundances of elements such as sulphur and potassium in surface materials.
If they are present, other elements which do not particularly like high temperatures are probably there as well.
All of which poses new questions about the formation of Mercury.
There have been several models put forward to try to explain why the planet has an unusually large iron core.
Some scientists have argued that the planet must have been bigger in the past and that its outer-layers had simply evaporated away in the intense glare of the Sun; or that a number of giant impacts had stripped Mercury of its outer layers.
"But those [models] propose such high temperatures that all the volatiles would have been evaporated away, so they don't line up with our measurements of the potassium and sulphur abundances," said APL's Patrick Peplowski.
"The exciting thing about our observation of volatiles at the surface of Mercury is that it rules out most theories for the planet's formation."
Peplowski now favours a model in which Mercury accreted a lot of metal-rich meteorites early in its evolution.
One aspect of Mercury is now settled, however - the scale of the volcanism that built its smooth northern plains.
Before Messenger got into orbit, there had been only brief glimpses of the region which covers more than 6% of the planet's surface.
Now, high-resolution mapping has identified buried "ghost" craters that were overwhelmed by the floods of molten rock welling up from inside Mercury.
"Taking the 6% area of Mercury covered by these northern high latitude smooth plains, and an estimated average depth of one kilometre, gives us a volume of almost 5 million cubic kilometres of lava for these deposits," said James Head, from Brown University.
"This is enough lava to cover the City of Washington DC to a depth of over 26,000 km, which is about 72 times higher than the orbit of the International Space Station."
There are no volcanoes visible in the imagery, but Professor Head and his colleagues have identified huge vents just off the plains that might explain how all the lava came to be released.
"It looks like there was a large low in the northern high latitudes that when the lava came out, it just filled the low up like a bathtub," he told BBC News.
Messenger is half way through its primary orbital mission at Mercury, and has another six months of observations to make before it would require additional funding to extend operations.
The request for an extended mission has already been put before Nasa officials and, given the results coming back from the probe, it is hard to believe that request would be turned down.
"Ten years ago you might have thought Mercury was a boring place. Now we're getting all this data from Messenger, the planet has become a truly fascinating place," said David Rothery, an Open University-based British scientist working on Europe's soon-to-launch Mercury mission, BepiColombo.

The Seasiders have drawn 13 games this season, the joint-most of any side in the division, and are 15th in the table, seven points off the play-offs.
Bowyer's side conceded in injury time to surrender a two-goal lead in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Exeter, their seventh draw in 10 games.
"We need some leaders to make some demands on players," Bowyer said.
Despite their run of stalemates, Blackpool, who have a game in hand on many of their rivals, are still in touch of the play-offs heading into Tuesday's fixture against Barnet.
Bowyer took charge of Blackpool in June after the club suffered successive relegations from the Championship and League One.
Having "steadied the ship" the former Blackburn boss believes that, with 14 league games remaining, now is the time for his players to go out of their comfort zone and kick on.
The 45-year-old told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Everyone in our dressing room wants the same thing and that's success.
"To do that you've got to go out of your comfort zone a bit and put some demands on each other.
"It might mean you have to upset your team-mate on the pitch, but if it's for the good of the team then that needs to be said."
The canvases, Sea View at Scheveningen and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church at Nuenen, date from Van Gogh's early period and are described as priceless.
However, Dutch culture minister Jet Bussemaker said their real value would be in the eyes of those who can now see them again.
Thieves seized the canvases from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam - which contains the world's largest collection of Van Gogh works with more than 200 paintings and 500 drawings - after breaking in through the roof.
One of the men convicted over the theft, Octave Durham, has revealed that he was actually after the artist's better known works, but they were harder to steal.
He told a documentary to be aired later that he found it "trivially easy" to break in to the museum.
"The heist took about three minutes and 40 seconds," Durham says in the film, the New York Times reported. "When I was done, the police were there, and I was passing by with my getaway car. Took my ski mask off, window down, and I was looking at them."
He said he and his accomplice had wanted to steal Sunflowers but the artwork was too well guarded, Trouw newspaper reported. They then turned their attention to The Potato Eaters, considered the painter's first masterpiece, but decided it was too big to fit through the hole they had entered through.
Durham told the filmmakers he had selected the seascape because the thick paint convinced him it would be valuable. He was arrested a year later in the Spanish resort of Marbella and convicted in 2005, but had until now maintained he was innocent.
The theft was a case of "art-napping" by an opportunist burglar, art investigator Arthur Brand told the BBC.
"No art collector will pay for stolen art they can't display," he said. But stolen art could be used as leverage by criminals who offer its return in exchange for reduced sentences for their crimes.
Dutch criminal Cor van Hout - who became notorious for kidnapping the beer tycoon Freddy Heineken for an estimated $10m (£8m) ransom in 1983 - wanted to buy them but he was gunned down in a gangland hit before the deal could be done.
Another potential buyer met the same fate and the paintings were eventually sold to Raffaele Imperiale, a low-ranking mafioso who was at the time running an Amsterdam coffee shop.
Imperiale paid about €350,000 ($380,000; £305,000) for the paintings and his lawyers told the New York Times he had bought them because he was "fond of art" and they were a "bargain".
Imperiale was among several suspected dealers arrested by Italian police last January. Another suspected dealer arrested at the same time reportedly told investigators the paintings were at Imperiale's house.
The BBC's James Reynolds in Rome says mafia members are not known for their understated good taste and raids have often revealed a preference for ostentatious, kitsch decoration, so Imperiale was unlikely to have bought the paintings for display purposes.
They were found wrapped in cloth in a safe in a house in the picturesque seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Pompeii, last September.
Van Gogh Museum Director Axel Ruger said it was wonderful to have the works back on display.
"I think it's one of the most joyous days in my career really," he said.
The museum has not made any comment on the upcoming documentary, Trouw said.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) is widely considered the greatest Dutch artist after Rembrandt.
Seascape at Scheveningen was one of only two seascapes he painted while he lived in the Netherlands.
It shows a foaming, stormy sea and thundery sky, and was painted in 1882 while he was staying in The Hague.
Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church at Nuenen (1884) was painted for Van Gogh's mother, but also partly for his father, who had become a pastor at the church in 1882. When his father died in 1884, Van Gogh added churchgoers, including a few women wearing shawls used for mourning.
Van Gogh committed suicide in France in 1890.
The 2002 Van Gogh museum raid was one of a series of thefts that shocked the art world.
In 2004, two Edvard Munch masterpieces, The Scream and Madonna, were seized by armed men who raided the Munch museum in Oslo. Several men were jailed and the paintings later recovered after painstaking detective work in 2006.
Another version of The Scream was stolen from the National Art Museum in Oslo in 1994 and that too was later recovered in a sting operation by UK detectives.
In 2012, seven artworks were stolen from Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum, including paintings by Picasso, Monet and Matisse. Two thieves were later jailed, telling a Bucharest court that security at the museum had been lax. Some of the paintings were destroyed in an oven.
Earlier this year, four paintings out of a haul of 24 stolen from a Dutch gallery in 2005 were recovered in Ukraine.
David Byrne was shot at the Regency Hotel on 5 February.
The men, including a father and son in their 50s and 30s, were arrested by police on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Another man, Patrick Hutch, 24, has been charged with the murder of Mr Byrne.
Gardaà (Irish police) believe at least six people were involved in the attack which left two others wounded.
Three days after David Byrne's murder, Eddie Hutch Sr, 59, was also shot dead in his north Dublin flat in what looked like a revenge attack.
Both killings have been linked to a gangland feud in the city.
This week it was proposed that the marigold be used to commemorate the sacrifice of Indian soldiers. It is part of an effort to create a culture of remembrance of those lost in the service of the Indian Armed Forces in the two world wars.
Almost one and a half million Indian soldiers took part in World War One, fighting in battles in far-away lands, and in conditions entirely alien to them.
Even more fought in World War Two.
By 1945 over two and a half million men had signed up to fight for the Allies - the largest volunteer army in history.
And they made huge sacrifices in both conflicts. More than 160,000 Indian soldiers lost their lives.
Yet, because those wars were fought while India was still part of the British Empire, they have tended to be ignored in India, dismissed as part of the colonial past.
A new campaign, India Remembers, aims to change that.
It is behind the suggestion that India adopt the marigold as the national flower of commemoration. It also proposes that the country dedicate 7 December as an official day of remembrance.
Hundreds of people attended the campaign launch: senior military officers alongside school children and the relatives of those who have laid down their lives for the country.
It was timed to mark the centenary of a historic cavalry charge led by Indian horsemen on the German trenches of the Somme.
The horses and their riders did not fare well against the enemy machine guns, admits Squadron Leader Rana Chhina, who is in charge of the India Remembers effort.
But, he says, it is a classic example of the valour frequently demonstrated by Indian servicemen. Valour which he believes is in danger of being forgotten completely.
He understands why, in the effort to distance itself from its colonial past, Indian governments have tended not to make any great effort at remembrance. But he believes it is time that changed.
"Remembrance is not a call to jingoistic fervour," Chhina emphasises, "but a time for silence and reflection."
"Each number added to a stone memorial, each gravestone, represents a life lost, a family forever bereaved and a sacrifice, which must never be forgotten."
And there is evidence that Indians are growing more curious about the role their relatives played in these epic conflicts.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which looks after the graves and memorials for the 1.7 million service personnel who died in the world wars, says it has noticed a significant increase in the number of enquires from India.
"Lots of Indian people want to find out more," says the commission's publicity director, Colin Kerr.
"They are vaguely aware that my great grandfather from this village in Punjab, or wherever, was involved in the battle of the Somme or the battle of the El Alamein - and they just want to find out more about it. We are acting as a catalyst with our friends here to give them that information."
He concedes that war graves and other memorials have not always celebrated the contribution of Indian and other Commonwealth soldiers, as well as they should.
My colleague Hugh Sykes sent me pictures of the memorial to those who died in the now almost forgotten Mesopotamian campaign of World War One and whose graves are not known.
It now stands in the desert outside the Iraqi city of Basra.
The fallen British soldiers are each named, an honour however, that is only accorded to the Indian officers.
The deaths of the non-commissioned men are commemorated by regiment but simply as "and 258 other Indian soldiers" or "and 272 other Indian soldiers".
Colin Kerr says this is an issue with a number of memorials, and says it is something the commission has now made it a priority to rectify.
He says a total of 30,000 Indian soldiers are not named on the Basra memorial but, he says, the commission knows who they are and has launched a project to find ways to publicise them both in India and in Britain.
Every service person who sacrificed their life in the two world wars should and will be commemorated, he assures me.
During the tea break I happened to meet Colonel Raj Singh, the grandson of one of the Indian soldiers who served in Iraq during World War One.
He told me Subedar Pat Ram had fought with the 99 Deccan Horse Regiment. He was one of more than 300,000 men deployed by the British in the Mesopotamian campaign.
Pat Ram died in a Turkish prisoner of war camp in Turkey on 28 August 1917, one of 40,500 allied troops the commission estimates were killed.
Raj Singh gave me one of the best arguments for remembrance I have ever heard.
"If you remember him he is still with you, he is still alive," he said.
Plymouth Associates "irresponsibly placed" two adverts of naked women in the app My Talking Tom, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said.
Two parents complained after children aged seven and three saw the adverts while playing the game.
The company denied responsibility for placing the adverts in the mobile app.
My Talking Tom features an animated cat, which players can adopt and look after.
The subject of the ASA complaints were two pop-up ads that appeared in the My Talking Tom app between 6 and 9 August 2015.
The adverts promoted Affairalert.com - which is the name Plymouth Associates trades under - and featured "a selfie of a naked woman sitting in front of a mirror".
The adverts asked the viewer if they wanted to have sex with the woman, giving them options of "yes", "no" and "maybe".
Plymouth Associates, which is based in Anguilla, denied responsibility and said it took its social responsibilities seriously.
It said it "had no role in placing or commissioning any ad in, or with, the My Talking Tom app" and suspected the adverts were placed by someone "seeking to damage Plymouth Associates' reputation" by means of inserting "malicious ad code".
Outfit7, which operated the app, said its apps were not directed at children, but it "strove to be family friendly" and had systems in place to categorise, filter and prohibit inappropriate or pornographic adverts.
However, Outfit7 said it was "impossible to eliminate the risk altogether" and technical malfunctions or human error "remained possible".
After the incident, Outfit7 could not identify which network was responsible for the adverts.
In its ruling, the ASA said the sexually explicit nature of the adverts meant they "should not have appeared in media which might be seen by children".
It said Plymouth Associates did not provide evidence to prove a third party placed the adverts, so the watchdog considered them to be responsible.
Additionally, while Plymouth Associates had procedures in place the ASA was concerned these "had not been adequate".
It told the company to make sure its adverts were targeted appropriately in future and did not target apps played by children.
The singer said she contacted officers after she was called at home in Blackburn, 10 times over the weekend.
The man allegedly swore at her and told the Britain's Got Talent star: "I know where you live."
Police have taken a statement from Boyle and said inquiries are ongoing. The 54-year-old has spoken of her concern about the calls.
She told the Scottish Sun: "I'm really worried about getting these threatening calls - I haven't slept much since they started. I have no idea who the person is or why they have chosen to call me."
She added: "The police were very reassuring and saying all the right things.
"But deep down, I am really worried."
A fantastic performance of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain's Got Talent in 2009 helped turned Boyle into an international star, with her first album selling millions of copies.
She has since sung for the Pope, the Queen and at the opening ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Last year she revealed she had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome which sometimes leaves her feeling "a sense of panic".
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We received a report of nuisance phone calls received at an address in Blackburn on Saturday, 20 June. Inquiries are ongoing."
Rockpool Acquisitions will be a so-called 'cash shell' which will raise money from shareholders and then buy a business or businesses.
It said it has no specific targets yet, but will look at acquisitions of up to £20m which could benefit from at least £1m of additional working capital.
The company expects its shares to start trading on 5 July.
The director of Rockpool Acquisitions are Mike Irvine, a Belfast corporate financier; Richard Beresford, a London lawyer; and Neil Adair, who at one time ran the operations of Anglo Irish Bank in Belfast.
Mr Irvine said: "Our decision to list on the London Stock Exchange makes both strategic and commercial sense as we believe that there are a number of excellent Northern Ireland based companies that would benefit from access to the deeper pools of capital that a listing provides.
"The Northern Ireland business community has a strong heritage of entrepreneurship but has not necessarily taken full advantage of the public markets."
Rockpool aims to make its first acquisition within 12 months of listing.

Wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor (74 not out) struck her first half-century since she returned to cricket following a break from the game with anxiety issues.
Taylor shared a third-wicket stand of 148 with captain Heather Knight (82) as England reached their target with nearly 20 overs to spare at Taunton.
Sri Lanka had been restricted to 204-8 as spinner Laura Marsh took 4-45.
Elsewhere in the tournament, West Indies were bowled out for 48 at Leicester as South Africa romped to a 10-wicket win in only 38 deliveries, while unbeaten Australia beat New Zealand by five wickets at Bristol and India beat Pakistan by 95 runs in front of a sell-out crowd at Derby.
Debilitating panic attacks had forced Taylor to take an enforced absence from cricket in June 2016, and she returned to full training with England in April.
The 28-year-old was back to her best with the gloves and the bat at Taunton as she played a key role in England's victory.
Taylor claimed two catches - one a particularly sharp chance off Natalie Sciver while standing up to the stumps - but it was her conviction with the bat which particularly impressed.
The England number three struck 11 fours - the last of which secured the win as she confidently skipped down the pitch to lift the ball over the top.
Marsh missed out on England's first two matches - a shock 35-run defeat by India and a crushing win over Pakistan - but took her chance after being recalled in place of slow left-armer Alex Hartley.
There was plenty in the pitch at the County Ground for the spinners, and although Marsh conceded four and a half runs an over, she had the knack of taking wickets at crucial moments.
"Laura has worked hard at her game and deserved her four wickets," former England batter Lydia Greenway said on BBC Test Match Special.
"She has had her fair share of injuries and has shown great resilience and determination to get back in the side."

Fran Wilson took a breathtaking diving catch to dismiss Dilani Manodara off Knight's off-spin.
Manodara flashed a late cut shot through point and Wilson, who plays for Taunton-based Western Storm in the Super League, dived full length to claim a sharp catch.
But Sri Lanka's innings was bookended by some sloppy fielding from England's players, with missed chances and fumbles much to the chagrin of their bowlers.
If England have designs on winning the tournament they will have to drastically improve in an area of their game in which they have traditionally excelled.
This year's World Cup is a one-division round-robin format last used in 2005. The top four teams progress to the semi-finals and with two victories out of three, England are in fourth place in the points table after the third round of games.
England now face testing fixtures against South Africa (5 July), Australia (9 July) and New Zealand (12 July) in their next three matches.
Gallagher, 44, donated all proceeds from the sold-out concert at The Ritz to the victims of last week's Manchester Arena concert blast.
The singer applauded as heartfelt cries of "stand up for the 22" rang out from the crowd in reference to those killed at the Ariana Grande concert last week.
Liam, who was joined on stage for one track by ex-Oasis bandmate Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, also performed in front of 22 candles in tribute.
"Manchester, I love you," he said, after closing the 15-song set with a moving a cappella rendition of his old band's hit song Live Forever, before adding: "Look after yourselves".
Earlier in the night, details emerged of Ariana Grande's benefit concert, alongside the likes of Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Take That.
Members of other Manchester bands The Courteeners and Blossoms, plus local boxing legend Ricky Hatton and stars of Coronation Street, were among the 1,400 crowd.
Daniel Moores, guitarist from The Courteeners - who themselves played an emotionally-charged show at Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Saturday - said: "They're massively important these gigs, to bring a bit of solidarity to Manchester.
"We're all in same boat aren't we? We all love each other. But he's the main man, Liam Gallagher."
Blossoms bass player Charlie Salt said: "I thought it was absolutely brilliant. The candles were a nice touch, the new tunes sounded great and his voice was top notch.
"The support has been amazing. What more can you expect from Manchester?"
Gallagher once said that he would never go solo, as he was not an idiot (shall we say, as we can't bring you the actual naughty word here).
But things change, and eight new solo tracks from forthcoming album As You Were, including Wall of Glass - which was partially leaked online last week - were greeted with warm cheers and applause.
The most rapturous noises of the night were, of course, reserved for the epic Oasis songs that helped the snarling singer make his name, performed well by his new backing band (which includes ex-Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell).
Opening duo Rock 'N' Roll Star and Morning Glory got the party started, and versions of D'You Know What I Mean, Slide Away and Bonehead's joyous cameo for Be Here Now also provided highlights.
Liam, who will play three further gigs in London, Dublin and Glasgow over the coming weeks, returned to the stage for an encore.
He applauded the crowd for their spontaneous chorus of "stand up for the 22" and "Manchester la la la" then delivered a defiant rendition of Live Forever, without any real musical accompaniment.
As the much-loved singer disappeared into the Manchester night the crowd stayed behind to sing impromptu versions of Oasis tracks that were not in the set, like Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Don't Look Back In Anger.
The latter was originally sung by Liam's brother Noel but this week became the soundtrack to a city attempting to move on.
And while there was no surprise appearance from the older Gallagher brother, who turned 50 this week, neither sibling had to sing it anyway. Manchester sang it for them.
Last week Liam told the Manchester Evening News: "I want to try and help pick people up. People like me, doing what we do, it's our duty to give people a good time."
Job done then, for the man who proved he can still belt out a rock 'n' roll banger, shake a tambourine and wear a cagoule indoors as convincingly as anyone - as well as capture the hearts of the people of Manchester and beyond.
As you were everyone...
Listen to the radio premier of Liam's debut solo single Wall of Glass with MistaJam on Radio 1 tonight at 19:00 BST.

The Swedish firm had revenues of more than 2.9bn euros (£2.6bn) last year, up more than 50% compared with 2015.
However, operating losses rose at nearly the same pace to 349.4m euros (£305.7m).
Spotify is considering going public and listing on the stock market, so its latest figures will be under scrutiny.
"We believe we will generate substantial revenue as our reach expands and that, at scale, our margins will improve," the firm said.
"We will therefore continue to invest relentlessly in our product and marketing initiatives to accelerate reach."
The clock is ticking for Spotify
Spotify may bypass IPO and list directly on stock market
Spotify reported a net loss of 539.2m euros (£471.6m), more than double the figure for 2015.
Nevertheless the number of people listening to music on the platform continues to rise rapidly.
Paying subscribers to its premium service, which does not have advertising, rose by 20 million to 48 million.
Apple Music, a key competitor, now has 27 million subscribers, almost double the number 12 months ago. Unlike Spotify it does not offer a free tier.
More than 30 million tracks are available on Spotify, which has signed deals committing it to to pay a minimum of 2bn euros in royalties to record companies over the next two years.
Spotify raised more than $1bn from investors last year which it said would give it flexibility to expand regardless of the state of the stock market.
Some of the terms are tied to the IPO, putting pressure on the company to go public.
Keiji Furuya and Yoshitaka Shindo visited the shrine to mark the 69th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War Two.
The Yasukuni shrine commemorates Japan's war dead, including convicted war criminals.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not visit the shrine but sent a ritual offering instead.
Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Yoshitaka Shindo, a regular visitor to the shrine, said he was not worried that his visit would cause diplomatic tension.
"Many valuable lives perished in the war. I came here to pray so that something like this will never happen again," he said.
The shrine is dedicated to souls of Japanese nationals who died in wars, but those venerated include 14 convicted Class A war criminals.
A museum in the shrine's grounds is also deeply controversial because of the way it presents Japan's World War Two history.
Visits to the shrine anger China and South Korea, who see it as a symbol of Japan's World War Two aggression and accuse Tokyo of failing to show adequate remorse.
China said it resolutely opposed such visits, calling the shrine a "spiritual tool of Japanese militarism".
"Only when Japan earnestly faces up to and deeply reflects on its history of aggression and completely makes a clean break from militarism, can it be possible for Sino-Japanese relations to achieve a healthy and stable development," said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying in a statement.
South Korea's foreign ministry said it "cannot help deploring" the visit and Mr Abe's offering, according to Yonhap news agency.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye also called on Japanese leaders to show sincerity over historical issues, in a speech commemorating the end of Japanese colonial rule.
Ties between Tokyo and its two closest neighbours have been severely strained by both historical issues and separate territorial disputes.
While Washington has been mediating relations between Seoul and Tokyo, tensions between China and Japan remain high.
Mr Abe paid a visit to the shrine in December, prompting a rare US rebuke.
He and the Chinese president have not yet held a formal summit, but met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in St Petersburg last year.
The two sides are reported to be eyeing a similar meeting at a regional forum later in the year.
The three men, aged 21 and 28, were given sentences of between six and 10 months for their part in the rioting in Sarcelles on Sunday.
A fourth man was given a suspended sentence while a minor received a fine.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls condemned the violence, which erupted at a protest over Israel's actions in Gaza.
At least 649 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 31 Israelis have been killed in 15 days of fighting, as Israel targets militant rocket crews inside the densely populated Gaza Strip.
European Union foreign ministers condemned anti-Semitic incidents at Gaza protests across the EU when they met on Tuesday.
Jewish-owned businesses and a synagogue were targeted in Sarcelles during Sunday's protest, which had been banned by the authorities.
Three men convicted of rioting on the same day in the Parisian district of Barbes were given suspended sentences on Tuesday.
A week before the violence in Sarcelles, protesters had tried to target two Paris synagogues, prompting the government to impose a ban on demonstrations.
France has both the largest Muslim and largest Jewish communities in the EU.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France's Laurent Fabius and Italy's Federica Mogherini issued a joint statement after they met in Brussels.
"Anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jews, attacks on people of Jewish belief and synagogues have no place in our societies," the ministers said.
While they respected demonstrators' freedom of speech and right to assemble, they added, they would also do everything possible to fight "acts and statements that cross the line to anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia".
A new, legal pro-Palestinian rally is due to be held in the French capital on Wednesday evening, organised by leftist groups. About 30 MPs from the ruling Socialist Party are due to attend, according to Le Parisien daily.
Mr Valls said he had been given security guarantees by the organisers.
Science and Skills Secretary Julie James will announce the cash on a visit to Porthcawl in Bridgend county on Tuesday.
Porthcawl Maritime Centre will include water sports and exercise facilities, a coastal science centre and an outdoor theatre.
It is hoped work will begin in the summer and it will open by 2019.
The £2.1m for the development, which is being built on land owned by Bridgend council, has come from the European Regional Development Fund.
It is expected to cost in excess of £7m and has already secured lottery funding.
Councillor Bob Badham resigned on Wednesday, soon after Helen Smith, Director of Children's Services, following the release of the report.
Ofsted inspectors found the department to be "inadequate" and failing vulnerable children in the area.
Councillor Simon Hackett has taken over from Mr Badham and said he was determined to improve the service.
"I see it as a challenge and something we can turn around. Like everyone else, a few days ago I read the report and frankly it was awful," he said.
During an inspection in February Ofsted found families of vulnerable children were insufficiently supported by the council and in some cases were at risk of "significant harm".
The local authority said it was aware of failings in the department and was taking action to improve performance.
It said 70 extra social workers had been taken on last year and it was improving relations between staff and the police.
The council said it had also started to work with a private sector partner, iMPOWER to improve services.
Mr Hackett said he was planning to spend time in each part of the department, looking at it from the perspective of a child or young person.
It is not the first time the council has been criticised by Ofsted over the service.
Sandwell Children's Services was judged to be "inadequate" in 2009, but following an inspection in January 2012 it was found to have improved and was rated "adequate".
Haroon Jahan, 20, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, died on 10 August after being hit by a car in Winson Green.
Appealing for calm after the verdicts, Mr Justice Flaux told Birmingham Crown Court: "On any view, this has been a terrible case - a tragic and pointless loss of three young lives.
"However, by their verdicts the jury have decided that this was not a deliberate killing, that there was no plan to kill these three young men.
"The jury have decided that this was a terrible accident."
CCTV footage of the crash had formed the centre piece of the prosecution, with the prosecution claiming it showed an orchestrated three-car "chariot charge" which had been planned minutes before.
But the eight defendants denied there had been any such plan.
The jury was told the CCTV footage could not in itself be regarded as proof of murder, but the Crown pointed to other circumstantial evidence which it claimed supported its case.
Prosecutors said the destruction of a mobile phone, CCTV film of vehicle movements in nearby streets and a hand signal from one of the cars was evidence of a plan hatched during a three-minute "window" before the deaths.
But this was described as implausible speculation by the three men driving the cars, Ian Beckford, 30, of Quinton, Adam King, 24, of no fixed address; and Joshua Donald, 27, of Ladywood.
The men and their passengers described the allegations of a murderous plan as "ridiculous" and "utter rubbish".
The crowd on the streets had gathered to protect local businesses and homes that had been targeted by looters the previous evening.
Defence lawyer Paul Lewis QC had told the court the collision happened when the three cars involved came "under serious attack" from the crowd.
The defence also claimed the crowd were masked and armed with bricks, sticks and, in one case, a sword.
Mr Beckford, who was driving the Mazda which hit the men, had told jurors only a "monster" would have deliberately driven at them.
"I was just frightened, I just wanted to get past the group, that's all I wanted to do," he said.
"I could not just drive my car into people and kill them. I haven't got it in me to do something like that.
"I wouldn't do something like that, not in a million years I wouldn't."
Kitchen fitter Everton Graham, 30, who had been a passenger in the Mazda, had also dismissed the Crown's claims of a plan when he appeared in the witness box.
Mr Graham, a father-of-one from Handsworth, was among the eight men cleared of murder.
He told prosecutor Timothy Spencer QC: "I don't know these people.
"I have never met them in my life - you have put us all in jail and charged us with murder."
Mr Lewis had urged jurors to set aside their emotions and try the case with "objective and unbiased consideration".
"It was a tragedy but it was an accident nonetheless," he said.
The Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled against a challenge by the Scotch whisky industry, who claimed the plans were a breach of European Law.
The ruling now paves the way for the Scottish government to implement its policy, passed by MSPs in 2012.
However, the judgement could be appealed by the drinks industry at the UK Supreme Court in London.
Under the plans, a price of 50p per unit of alcohol would be set, taking a bottle of spirits to at least £14.
The Scottish government, health professionals, police, alcohol charities and some members of the drinks industry believe minimum pricing would help address Scotland's "unhealthy relationship with drink".
But the Scotch Whisky Association and wine makers brought a challenge claiming it was a breach of trade law.
They said other policies should be considered as an alternative to minimum pricing, including an increase in tax
However, in its ruling, the Court of Session said: "The advantage of the proposed minimum pricing system, so far as protecting health and life was concerned, was that it was linked to the strength of the alcohol.
"Current EU tax arrangements related to different types of product (wine, spirits, beer and cider etc) each of which had a range of alcohol strength....there was evidence which demonstrated that the alternative of increased tax, with or without a prohibition on below cost sales, would be less effective than minimum pricing."
£14
Cheapest 70cl bottle of whisky
£4 Four-500ml pack of 4% lager
The Scotch Whisky Association said it regretted the court's decision.
David Frost, chief executive of the organisation, said: "We continue to believe that [the policy] is a restriction on trade and that there are more effective ways of tackling alcohol misuse.
"However, we of course remain committed to working with all partners to address this problem so that the long-term trend of declining alcohol-related harm in Scotland continues.
"We will study the details of the judgement and consult our members before deciding on next steps, including any possible appeal to the UK Supreme Court."
By contrast, Tennent's said it supported the court ruling, calling it a "positive step" towards tackling alcohol misuse.
The brewer's managing director Andrea Pozzi said: "Although the majority of people enjoy alcohol responsibly, we are concerned about the availability of strong, cheap alcohol. We believe that minimum unit pricing can and will have a positive impact on communities across Scotland."
The Scottish government called on the SWA and others in the drinks industry to respect the judgement of the court.
Aileen Campbell, Minister for Public Health, said: "The Scotch Whisky Association represents some of Scotland's finest whisky brands, and while they were entitled to raise this action, they, and the wider drinks industry, must now respect the democratic will of the Scottish Parliament and the ruling of the Court of Session and enable this life-saving measure to be introduced.
"This policy was passed by the Scottish Parliament unopposed more than four years ago. In that time, the democratic will of our national parliament has been thwarted by this ongoing legal challenge, while many people in Scotland have continued to die from the effects of alcohol misuse.
"Today's ruling is a landmark one, and should mark the end of the legal process, allowing this important policy to finally be brought forward."
Doctors' leaders also welcomed the ruling. Dr Peter Bennie, chairman of BMA Scotland, said a minimum price was the action needed to improve Scotland's "damaging relationship with alcohol".
He added: "Every year that has been lost to the alcohol industry's delaying tactics has brought with it a human cost in lives lost and health damaged.
"The alcohol industry needs to accept today's judgement and stop attempting to put their own agenda ahead of the public interest."
Alison Douglas, chief executive of campaign group Alcohol Focus Scotland, said it was a "great day for Scotland's health".
She added: "Scotland has been waiting more than four years to implement this policy, which will prevent thousands of hospital admissions and crimes, and save hundreds of lives.
"We hope that minimum pricing will now be put in place as quickly as possible so we can start seeing the benefits."
Scottish Conservative health spokesman Donald Cameron said his party had supported the legislation on the condition it would be legally sound and could be dropped if it was found not to be working.
He said: "It's taken the SNP a considerable length of time to get to this stage.
"But now it's happened, we need to monitor the results closely to see what impact it has on Scotland's damaging and complex relationship with alcohol."
The issue of minimum pricing was referred to the European Court of Justice, which ruled last December that European law may have been breached by the policy.
However the European Court ruled that it was ultimately up to national courts to make the decision about whether to implement it.
Under the plans, the cheapest bottle of wine (9.4 units of alcohol) would be £4.69, a four-pack of 500ml cans of 4% lager would cost at least £4 and a 70cl bottle of whisky could not be sold for less than £14.
The SWA has argued minimum pricing would discriminate against poorer drinkers, and was beyond the power of the Scottish government.
The government's chief medical officer recommends the maximum weekly intake of alcohol is 14 units for both men and women.
The software offers advice on how development projects, in the guise of noise levels and other disturbances, can affect birds' behaviour.
Researchers from the University of Hull, UK, developed the app that built on a study carried out on behalf of the Environment Agency.
The team hopes it will minimise the disruption from flood prevention work.
Researchers say the app is designed to help planners assess the possible effects of proposed work before they consent to a development going ahead.
It also will allow contractors to measure noise levels on the site and offer advice on the degree of disturbance the work will have on bird species.
"There is relatively little information on the impacts from disturbance events on waterbirds, in particular from noise," explained Nick Cutts, deputy director of the university's Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS).
"While such events will not normally lead to a direct mortality of birds, cumulative and/or prolonged disturbance events may effectively exclude resource use and could lead to carrying-capacity reduction in estuaries, and thus starvation or movement to other areas by some species.
"As such, when plans and projects are submitted, they are often subject to conditions relating to disturbance management, including restrictions on works timings and noise levels."
Noise impacts
The data collected by the team of researchers at IECS originally formed part of a study for the Environment Agency that aimed to provide a "real-time" characterisation of likely noise impacts.
The "toolbox included background on disturbances and waterbird ecology with guidance for mitigation, etc. for estuary planners and developers to use," Mr Cutts added.
The data was processed, as part of the EU-funded TIDE project, to develop the app, created by Mr Cutts and colleagues Krystal Hemingway and Chris Baulcomb.
It uses on-phone noise and GPS facilities to allow real-time characterisation of likely noise effects, Mr Cutts adds.
He said: "It can be used 'in office' by project planners, consenting bodies and others in order to identify a range of potential disturbance sources, and through the manual input of noise level and location data to identify a disturbance radius."
But both actors break their own mould in Foxcatcher, director Bennett Miller's intense real-life drama about eccentric American millionaire philanthropist and wrestling enthusiast John Du Pont.
Carell plays Du Pont, while Tatum and Mark Ruffalo take the parts of Mark and Dave Schultz, Olympic-level wrestlers who joined Du Pont's training programme at Foxcatcher Farm in Pennsylvania, with tragic consequences.
At 52, Carell says the film is a "different step" for him and that he "hopes people will embrace the movie and like it and think it works.
"My agent actually put me forward for the part without me knowing, so at least I didn't worry about it.
He continues: "It wasn't so different doing drama, as opposed to comedy. It's just a different character to play. But for all the script's darkness, it was also absurdly funny in places."
For Tatum, Foxcatcher was "the most intimidating thing that I've ever done. I first read the script about seven years ago as the movie was first proposed in 2007.
"It was great to return to it and have the opportunity to do it, but I had to trust each day that I was up to the job and just put myself out there."
The film explores the events that led up to John Du Pont's arrest, imprisonment and death in a Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution in 2010.
Bennett Miller, who also directed Capote, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2005 says he "finds oddballs interesting. I do like those stories about people who are in worlds where they don't belong, peculiar people who don't fit, and John Du Pont was such a man. In this case, because of that, this story has a tragic ending."
Carell says: "I never see John Du Pont as a villain. You can't have contempt for your character.
"I thought he was a guy who was personified by not only his mental state, but his upbringing with his mother Jean.
"I had sympathy for him to a certain extent. I think the difference is that so far, I've always played characters with a soft centre somewhere. Du Pont just didn't have that - he just claimed to.
"He also had little understanding of humour, and I just can't imagine going through life without that, without comedy."
Attention has been focused on the prosthetic nose Carell wears throughout, making him virtually unrecognisable and, he says, influencing his performance.
"People actually wanted to be separate from me. I think even my family found it creepy. And that's not so far removed from John Du Pont because, watching documentaries about him, he had an intense physicality which many people found off-putting.
"It was very easy for me to stay in character because of that. I wasn't exactly method acting, but I was definitely in a different state of mind.
"This wasn't a light set, it wasn't a fun film, it was very intense and very serious because some of the characters are still alive and we felt a responsibility.
"It's still something that I think about, and it sounds pretentious, but I feel like we all went as a group to make this film, and then we disappeared for a while. Months later, we re-emerged.
"I still talk to the other guys about it, there's something about the film that I can't shake off."
Foxcatcher is on general release in the UK..
The Batley and Spen MP, 41, was shot and stabbed shortly before she was due to hold a constituency surgery in Birstall, West Yorkshire on 16 June.
Her death prompted memorial events around the world to mark what would have been her 42nd birthday.
The cortege will stop at two locations to allow members of the public to pay their respects.
In a statement, her family said they were "overwhelmed and touched" by the support they have received since her death.
They said: "Now, particularly for the children, we have decided that Jo's funeral will be a very small and private family affair.
"Anybody from the local community who would like to pay their respects is welcome to gather along the areas outlined as we make this last journey."
The location of the funeral has not been publicised.
Mrs Cox, a mother of two, had been an MP for just over a year when she was attacked outside Birstall Library.
A fundraising appeal to raise money for causes she had supported has raised more than £1.48m in donations.
An inquest into her death was opened and adjourned last month after hearing she died from multiple stab and gunshot wounds.
Thomas Mair, 52, from Birstall, faces charges of murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the attack on Mrs Cox.
Christopher Hutcheson, 68, and his sons Adam, 46, and Christopher, 37, admitted plotting to unlawfully access Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited's system.
His daughter Orlanda Butland, aged 45, denied the same charge.
The prosecution accepted the pleas at London's Old Bailey and offered no evidence in relation to Ms Butland.
Hutcheson Snr is the father of Ramsay's wife, Tana.
The charges relate to a plot to hack into the computer system at the firm, between 23 October 2010 and 31 March, 2011.
Hutcheson Snr was charged under Operation Tuleta, which began in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.
At a previous hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, the prosecution said the plot to hack into the system came after Hutcheson Snr was dismissed from the company.
Prosecutor Dan Suter had said: "The prosecution would say as a result of that dismissal he was motivated to access unlawfully the computer system."
At the Old Bailey on Tuesday, Hutcheson, who has a home in France, but gave his address as Wycombe Place, Earlsfield, south west London - the same address as Ms Butland - was released on bail.
Hutcheson Jnr, of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and Adam Hutcheson, of Sevenoaks, Kent, were also released on bail.
The defendants could face a maximum possible sentence of two years in prison.
Judge Gerald Gordon, who heard the case, formally entered a not guilty verdict in the case of Ms Butland.
He agreed to the preparation of pre-sentence reports and adjourned sentencing, which has been scheduled for 2 June.
A spokeswoman for Ramsay has declined to comment on the case.

The latest images are both the most highly resolved and the best colour views that we have seen so far.
The US space agency mission is in the process of downlinking all the data it gathered during its historic flyby of Pluto on 14 July.
It is expected to take well into 2016 to get every bit of information back.
The slow drip feed is a consequence of the vast distance to New Horizons, which continues to push ever deeper into the outer Solar System.
The probe has already gone 100 million km beyond the dwarf planet since the flyby, putting it some five billion km from Earth.
But as slow as the data is in coming back, the scientists could not be more thrilled with its quality.
The latest example - of Charon - is no exception.
Researchers feared this object, which is half the diameter of Pluto at 1,214km wide, might be quite dull compared with Pluto.
Instead, they see some fascinating and diverse surface features: craters, mountains, battered and crumpled northern highlands, and smooth, rolling southern lowlands.
What particularly catches the eye is the vast system of fractures and canyons stretching around Charon's middle.
It is evidence, the New Horizons team says, of a colossal geological upheaval in the moon's past.
"It looks like the entire crust of Charon has been split open," said John Spencer, a senior scientist on the mission from the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
"With respect to its size relative to Charon, this feature is much like the vast Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars."
Researchers have done a count of craters and find the smooth southern plains, which have been dubbed Vulcan Planum, to have fewer large impact sites, indicating their relative youthfulness. The smoothness of Vulcan Planum is itself a clear sign of wide-scale resurfacing, they say.
The team is toying with the idea that a kind of cold volcanic activity, called cryovolcanism, may have been responsible
"The team is discussing the possibility that an internal water ocean could have frozen long ago, and the resulting volume change could have led to Charon cracking open, allowing water-based lavas to reach the surface at that time," Paul Schenk, from the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, said in a Nasa statement.

Mr Smith's body was found on the beach at Victoria Park on 26 March, a month after the teenager was reported to have fallen from cliffs at Arbroath.
A coastguard helicopter, lifeboats and coastguard rescue teams all took part in a search for the teenager.
Mr Smith's friends and family conducted their own searches of the coastline after the official operation ended.
Hegarty was handed the caretaker position until the end of the season in September following the departure of manager Peter Hutton.
Derry were in relegation trouble when the former Brandywell player arrived but Hegarty guided the team to safety.
However, his decision leaves City in search of a new manager for 2016.
The war crimes tribunal accused Delawar Hossain Sayedee of mass murder and torture among other crimes. He denies all the allegations.
Mr Sayedee, a leader in Bangladesh's Jamaat-e-Islami party, was arrested last year.
The tribunal was set up in 2010 to try those accused of crimes during the war.
Bangladesh was called East Pakistan until 1971 when a nine-month war of secession broke out leaving up to three million people dead.
"The court has framed charges on 20 counts including crimes against humanity and genocide against Mr Sayedee," Mohammad Shahinur Islam, registrar of the International Crimes Tribunal, told the BBC.
"He pleaded not guilty. He claimed all those allegations were false.
"With the framing of charges the trial has started. As a citizen, I should say this is a historic day for Bangladesh," Mr Islam said.
The case will be next heard on 30 October when the prosecution will make an opening statement.
Official figures estimate that thousands of women were raped when West Pakistan sent in its army to try and stop East Pakistan becoming an independent Bangladesh.
Last year, the Bangladeshi government set up the International Crimes Tribunal in Dhaka to try those Bangladeshis accused of collaborating with Pakistani forces and committing atrocities during months of violence.
Mr Sayedee is among seven people, including two from the main opposition Bangladeshi Nationalist Party, facing trial. All of them deny the accusations and accuse the government of carrying out a vendetta.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch says the tribunal needs to change some of its procedures to ensure a fair trial which meets international standards.
The trial is likely to go on for months.
In particular, they've stressed the importance of border controls, intelligence sharing, and the role of European courts in Britain's security. The BBC's Reality Check team has taken a closer look at the facts behind the claims.
The biggest issue for many campaigners is how much difference the EU's rules on freedom of movement make to Britain's ability to police its borders.
At the very start of the referendum campaign, Iain Duncan Smith claimed Britain's "open border does not allow us to check and control people that may come", and that made attacks like the ones in Paris in November 2015 more likely in the UK.
On the other side of the argument, Sir David Omand, former director of GCHQ, said: "We are part of an established information sharing network with our partners whilst still retaining control of our border."
So what are the facts? EU freedom of movement allows citizens of all the other 27 EU countries to travel freely to the UK, to visit, study or work.
There is a UK border, and everyone, including citizens of EU-member states, has to produce a passport to cross it. In practice, holders of EU passports are not routinely subjected to detailed checks.
The UK is not a member of the Schengen area of borderless travel. Most EU countries are, as well as some non-EU countries like Switzerland and Norway.
Lack of internal border checks within Schengen has enabled terrorists - and their weapons - to move freely across continental EU, to execute attacks and to escape.
Being outside Schengen and being an island makes travel to the UK harder for potential attackers. But, as noted above, they are not likely to be subject to detailed checks when they try to cross into the UK if they hold an EU passport.
In the wake of the Paris November 2015 attacks, the EU renewed efforts to improve sharing of passenger name record data for flights and there were also calls for the establishment of an EU-wide intelligence service.
One of the most important counter-terrorism measures is sharing information between different security services.
There is no EU-wide intelligence-sharing arrangement, and nor is there likely to be any time soon.
Security and intelligence services are intrinsically secret organisations which share their information only with those they trust to keep their secrets too. That does not apply uniformly across the 28 member states of the EU.
The UK's biggest intelligence relationships lie outside the EU. It shares intelligence with the US and with three other English-speaking countries: Canada, Australia and New Zealand, forming the "five eyes" alliance.
There are direct agreements between certain member states. These are not dependent on membership of the EU - so would they change in the event of Brexit?
Not likely, according to Sir Richard Dearlove, former director of MI6.
In an interview for Prospect magazine, he said: "Britain is Europe's leader in intelligence and security matters and gives much more than it gets in return.
"It is difficult to imagine any of the other EU members ending the relationships they already enjoy with the UK."
While there is no EU-wide intelligence agency, there is an EU-wide enforcement agency - Europol.
It helps fight crime and terrorism across the EU by providing expertise, building criminal databases and supporting investigations on issues ranging from trafficking of people and drugs to money laundering and cyber-crime.
Europol's director, Rob Wainwright, says: "I have seen huge progress in the EU in building up a far stronger capability to fight terrorism and serious crime."
One such advance is the Prüm Convention, an agreement on sharing of DNA, fingerprint and vehicle information, to identify foreign criminals and solve serious crimes. Fourteen EU countries have signed it (the UK voted to join the agreement in December 2015) and it is open to all EU members.
There is also the Schengen Information Service, which is highly valued by UK officials for alerting them to suspects crossing borders.
Then there's the European Arrest Warrant, an EU-wide agreement, that speeds up and simplifies extradition procedures between EU countries.
Last year, the mechanism was used to extradite two British Islamist extremists, Trevor Brooks and Simon Keeler, from Hungary to the UK. In 2005, Hussain Osman, London underground bomber was extradited from Italy to the UK.
Analysis by Mark Urban, diplomatic and defence editor, Newsnight
While I have found many British military and intelligence experts who agree with Sir Richard that Nato defence arrangements and bilateral intelligence exchanges would probably continue unaltered by Brexit, the majority I've spoken to still express opposition to Britain leaving the EU.
They point to emerging security ties at the European level. Missing out on this, they argue, counts for more than the increased ability to control the movement of EU nationals that "outers" such as Iain Duncan Smith argue would make Britain more secure.
Read more of Mark's analysis here.
When campaigners talk about European courts threatening British security, they're usually referring to the role the courts play in deporting - or, more correctly, blocking the deportation of - criminals and terror suspects.
Most of the examples they're talking about, like the 12-year-long case of Abu Qatada, have been rulings emanating from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) or rulings of British courts under the Human Rights Act (HRA).
Crucially, the ECHR is not an EU body. Its job is to uphold the European Convention on Human Rights which was drawn up after the Second World War, partly thanks to Winston Churchill. The Human Rights Act incorporates the convention into UK law.
So leaving the EU wouldn't be enough to get around the convention. The UK would also have to withdraw from the ECHR and abolish the Human Rights Act.
These are things David Cameron has said in the past he's prepared to do, so could the UK just leave the ECHR and remain in the EU? Tricky - legal opinion is divided on whether adherence to the ECHR is a condition of EU membership (as this House of Commons Library research paper makes clear).
Campaigners sometimes refer to another court: the European Court of Justice (ECJ). Its role is to uphold EU law including the right of free movement, and so it can rule on deportations.
Under EU rules, citizens of other EU countries can only be deported or denied entry on the grounds of public policy, public security or public health.
Holding a criminal conviction isn't enough. The person must pose a threat to the interests of society. And the threshold goes up after five and ten years of residence in the UK.
EU law also gives additional rights of entry and residence to the family members of EU citizens even if they're from elsewhere.
That means it's more difficult for Britain to deport or bar entry to criminals who are from the EU or related to EU citizens.
The ECJ is very definitely an EU institution, and so if the UK left the EU it would cease to be bound by its rulings. Instead the government could introduce new rules which made it easier to block people or throw them out, subject to other international agreements

Darrell Richards, 47, used a metal bar to batter Thomas Downey, 51, who was known locally as "Manchester Tommy" because of where he came from.
His body was found on Christmas Eve under a railway arch in Lower Bristol Road, where it had lain undiscovered for a week, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Richards, who was also homeless, was sentenced to 10 years and nine months after admitting manslaughter.
Speaking after sentencing, Det Ch Insp Julie Mackay said: "Thomas Downey died as the result of a callous and brutal assault.
"He'd been bludgeoned to death, the blows causing multiple fractures to his skull."
She said: "The attack by Darrell Richards, a fellow member of the homeless community, was vicious and appears to have resulted from what was effectively a very minor disagreement."
The detective said police accepted the manslaughter plea because they believe "it reflects what took place in that archway on that evening".
Det Ch Insp Mackay added: "We hope today's sentencing will bring some closure for Tommy's family."
Stephen Gannon, 36, was attacked by two men on Broomfield Lane, near St Monance Street, in the city's Springburn area, at about 17:20 on 14 August.
He died at the scene.
Police said the arrested man was being held in custody and a report was being prepared for the procurator fiscal. | The wife of former Derry City footballer Mark Farren has said naming a stand at Brandywell stadium in the city after him is a fitting tribute.

The 6.9 magnitude quake took place at a depth of around 140km (87 miles), north-west of Mandalay. There were no initial reports of any fatalities.
The tremor could be felt in the north-east Indian state of Assam, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are staying.
The royal couple, who are staying in a national park, were unharmed.
People in Myanmar's main city, Yangon, in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, and in Kolkata in India fled buildings in panic when the tremor struck.
Tremors are relatively common in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). This earthquake occurred at intermediate depth, according to the USGS, which means it took place within the Indian tectonic plate as it subducts beneath Eurasia.
While such earthquakes may be felt at the Earth's surface, they are less likely to cause severe damage.
An Associated Press news agency reporter in Yangon reported seeing a seven-storey hospital shake during Wednesday's two-minute quake, causing staff and patients to flee the building.
Many of Myanmar's outlying areas have inadequate communications and infrastructure, including the area where the earthquake hit.
The Chinese official Xinhua news agency said strong tremors were also felt in Tibet, with many residents of Lhasa drawn out on the streets.
Shaking was experienced in the Assam capital Guwahati, where wall-mounted television sets at a local TV station were reported to have been sent crashing to the ground.
The British royal party have been visiting Assam's Kaziranga National Park.
"We felt the tremor very strongly, but all is fine,'' British Deputy High Commissioner Scott Furssedonn-Wood, who is staying in the same jungle resort as the royal couple, was quoted by AP as saying.
The royal couple are spending Wednesday night in the park and will travel to neighbouring Bhutan on Thursday.

The 60-year-old was initially banned for 18 months and fined £250,000 by the Football Association for breaching agent rules in the transfer of Ross McCormack to Fulham in 2014.
Earlier this month this was reduced to one year and £100,000 after his initial appeal against the decision.
His ban from all football activity was due to start on Saturday, 18 February.
The FA said in a statement: "The sanctions imposed by an FA appeal board against Cellino have now been stayed pending the outcome of a legal challenge brought by Cellino in arbitration pursuant to FA Rule K.
"Cellino alleges the decision of the FA appeal board was irrational, procedurally unfair, and that there was apparent bias. All other aspects of the arbitration shall remain confidential until such time as a decision has been made."
After his ban was reduced Cellino said he intended to take his appeal against the ruling to the High Court because he felt "duty bound to continue the fight against such injustice for the good of the club and its supporters".
The ban is the third imposed on the former Cagliari owner by the FA since taking over the Elland Road club in April 2014.
In January, he sold 50% of the club to fellow Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani.
Leeds are fifth in the Championship, eight points behind second-placed Brighton.
HBO also said Saturday's online leaks of four episodes had come from within a group that had received preview DVDs.
Twitter maintains that the Periscope app complies with US copyright law.
But HBO indirectly criticised the video streaming company.
"In general, we feel developers should have tools which proactively prevent mass copyright infringement from occurring on their apps and not be solely reliant upon notifications," HBO said in a statement.
Periscope's terms and conditions make it clear that users should respect intellectual property rights, but the app currently only reacts to copyright infringement allegations rather than trying to prevent them happening in the first place, HBO believes.
The long-awaited series five of Game of Thrones aired in the US on Sunday and in Europe on Monday.
Copyright infringement has been a huge issue for HBO.
Episodes of the first four series of Game of Thrones were illegally downloaded more than seven million times between 5 February and 6 April this year, according to piracy specialist Irdeto, as marketing for the new series ramped up.
This was a 45% increase on the same period last year, the company said.
But over the history of the series, illegal downloads had run into the "hundreds of millions", Ernesto Van der Sar, of the Torrentfreak news website, said.
And the first episode of the new series had been downloaded up to five million times, he said.
"In my view, Periscope is a non-issue [for Game of Thrones] because the show is already posted online at very high quality on several other services," he says.
"But mobile live streaming could be more of an issue for live sporting events like football matches."
In a first half lacking in quality, Forest winger Mustapha Carayol's effort was the only shot on target.
Dan Burn had a close-range shot blocked for Wigan just after the break, before Eric Lichaj curled just wide for the visitors from outside the box.
Carayol forced another save towards the end of the game but both teams had to settle for a point.
With Bristol City drawing at Newcastle, the Latics remain in the final relegation place and are two points from safety, while Forest are still not out of danger as they stay six points above them.
Wigan have won just three Championship games in front of their own fans this season and have scored in only 18 of their 34 league matches.
The draw ends a three-game losing run for Gary Brazil's side, who had won their first four matches under his tenure.
Wigan manager Warren Joyce:
"Some of those players have played every minute of every game - it's not a massive squad. Some of the younger ones, the fitness levels are not the same as the experienced players.
"Lads are coming in because they're not playing at other clubs - they're not coming in ready-made, ready to go, they're not up to the level of 35, 32-year-olds here because they haven't been playing, they're not battle-hardened.
"There's a side issue of getting all those lads up to speed. The fresher ones might not actually be as fit as the ones playing every week."
Nottingham Forest boss Gary Brazil:
"I don't think about how many points we need.
"I think there's 12 games to go and we'll take as many points as we can out of those games. I think there will be an ability for us to get stronger as we go through the season.
"It's not something I'm considering or thinking about. We will get fitter, stronger, work harder and the points will come for us."

Christopher Tester, from Torquay, is said to be in a critical condition after he was wounded at his parents' restaurant on Christmas Day night.
Mr Tester, 37, is in an induced coma at Mount St John Hospital on the Caribbean island.
Friends have launched an appeal to raise £90,000 to fly him back to the UK for treatment.
Charlotte Williams, a friend of the family, told the Torquay Herald Express: "Time is of the essence. Please, please can you help us to raise funds for him.
"They need to raise £90,000. It will save his life. Please help us perform a Christmas miracle."
On its Facebook page, ABS Television in Antigua said that Mr Tester's expat parents Tony and Gill run the Boxer Shack restaurant in Old Road.
ABS posted a police statement that said the masked gunman shot Mr Tester in a struggle during a bid to rob the family.
Downing Street said it would consider the letter from Shakira Damous, from Devon, who said her grandfather was the only present she wanted for Christmas.
Disabled Abdulkarim Damous, 76, is living in a park in Turkey after fleeing the civil war in Syria.
The family home in Idlib was taken over by the so-called Islamic State.
Mr Damous's sons, Muayad and Ahmed, who run a garage in Exeter, have been British citizens for 10 years and have been refused a visa for their father three times.
Shakira said: "I feel sad and a bit guilty because we can't bring him here."
His 36th studio album, out on 2 February, will feature 10 "uncovers".
"I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way," said Dylan.
"They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day."
I'm A Fool To Want You, The Night We Called It A Day and Irving Berlin's What'll I Do, all recorded by Sinatra, are among the songs being reworked by Dylan and his band.
Other highlights on the album produced by Jack Frost include Nat King Cole's Autumn Leaves and Some Enchanted Evening from Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.
Dylan - who has sold more than 125 million records around the world and won multiple Grammys - called it "a real privilege" to make the album.
"I've wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a five-piece band," he said.
"That's the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded."
Columbia Records chairman Rob Stringer said Dylan had infused "new life and contemporary relevance into the songs".
"There are no strings, obvious horns, background vocals or other such devices often found on albums that feature standard ballads," added Stringer.
The album is the first new music from Dylan since 2012's critically acclaimed Tempest.
His last five albums, including 2006's Modern Times, have achieved new levels of commercial success for his work.
Together Through Life became Dylan's first album to debut at number one in both the US and the UK in 2009.
Firefighters were called to Hirwaun industrial estate just before 05:15 GMT after pallets caught fire and flames spread to a nearby factory.
At its height, seven fire engines were tackling the blaze.
The incident has been scaled down, South Wales Fires and Rescue Service said.
Organisers halted the 168km stage from Cusset to Mont Brouilly after 75km.
No times were recorded, but points from the sprints and climbs will be carried forward.

The 29-year-old, who has played 12 Tests for the Proteas, will move to Hove from Cape Cobras at the end of the South African domestic season.
Van Zyl averages 42.55 with the bat in first-class cricket and has taken 52 wickets at an average of 35.07.
"He is a very accomplished cricketer and I still believe his best is yet to come," Sussex coach Mark Davis said.
Davis, speaking to BBC Sussex, added: "His ability to bowl is important as having somebody in the top-order who can bowl seam is an important part of our strategy moving forward.
"He plays all formats and is versatile, which is a great asset to us. To get someone of the ilk of Stiaan is very good for us."
Van Zyl, who played his last Test in August, joins Sussex as a non-overseas player under the Kolpak ruling.
Their result will determine which university they can attend, and therefore much of the rest of their future, so they are under huge pressure.
For the first time this year, any candidate caught cheating could face jail.
The notoriously hard exam tests high school leavers on their Chinese, mathematics and English and another science or humanities subject of their choice.
The tests have been the focal point of the education system since the 1950s, with a break during the Cultural Revolution.
Failing the Gaokao almost guarantees a lifetime of low-ranking employment, and family disappointment.
The Gaokao predates modern times, having its roots in imperial China.
Gaokao revision is all-consuming, often at the expense of the necessities of life.
Professional Gaokao nannies are highly educated students or recent graduates that move in with students to study with them in the run up to the exam, says a report on the Sixth Tone website.
For example Zhao Yang, a Shanghai university freshman, is paid a daily wage of 300 yuan ($45; £32) to chat with his client and stay up with him during all-nighters, said a report by Tencent Finance.
However, these nannies are not a solution to every student need, Saima Domestic Services, a Gaokao nanny agency, told Sixth Tone
"Because they are highly educated and mainly offer companionship, they are weak in terms of cooking and cleaning," said a customer service agent.
To save on time spent travelling to the test centre - which can then be better spent revising- some parents opt to pay for a hotel for their child.
Many hotels offer special Gaokao packages for students, with hotels in Beijing charging up to 2,000 yuan per night. Despite high prices, many rooms have been fully booked.
"Recently we have had so many bookings, we cannot guarantee rooms to walk-ins," said a member of staff at Beijing's Hanting Express Hotel, according to a local report.
Sheraton hotel in Shanghai offered students a Luxury Top-Scorer Package that consisted of a late room-return policy and a free upgrade to a luxurious suite, the hotel told the Sixth Tone.
In some cities in China, taxis were provided with yellow signs giving them right of way when delivering examinees to exam sites.
A taxi company in Fujian province even provided free taxi services for students taking the Gaokao exams, says the China Daily.
The Dazhong Taxi service in Shanghai, meanwhile, saw 1,000 Gaokao taxis booked out online within just six hours.
Maotanchang hosts perhaps China's most famous Gaokao bootcamp.
Almost 20,000 students, four times the town's population, flock to the town in eastern Anhui province every year to attend the prep course at Maotanchang High School.
According to a China Youth Daily article, the programme can cost up to $8,000.
Mobile phones and laptops are forbidden in this school, and the dormitories designed without electrical outlets. The local government has also shut down all forms of entertainment in town, leaving the students no choice but to do what they came for - study.
We've all wanted to tear up our textbooks and throw them out the window at some point, but in China, it's actually customary to do so for Gaokao students.
However this year, the move was banned by government officials in Xiamen, who said students should release stress in a more "healthy way".
Smashing watermelons is another popular practice by students.
In China's Chongqing, around 2,000 students embarked on a "Watermelon War", with each student buying 1kg worth of the fruit.
But if watermelons aren't your thing, perhaps stepping on balloons will appeal.
The exam rooms are strictly monitored to prevent cheating. But from hidden earphones and watches, to T-shirts with receivers, students have tried almost all means and ways to get past this.
In previous years authorities installed metal detectors at entrances to make sure students did not sneak in smartphones, though the detectors have been known to be set off by almost anything, leading to schools in Jilin banning bras with metal fastenings.
Last year, officials in Henan province even deployed a drone carrying a radio scanner to catch cheats. This year, however, the stakes have been raised.
Those that try to cheat their way to the top could face up to seven years in prison, and will also be banned from taking any other national education examinations for three years.
The tough punishments will "safeguard the fairness of the tests", say educational authorities, as reported by the Global Times.
A national campaign has also been launched, cracking down on the sale of wireless devices for cheating, unauthorised Gaokao content posted online and cheating equipment, the Ministry of Education announced.
Some desperate parents are prepared to pay several million yuan to hire people to take the Gaokao on behalf of their children, said a report by the Nandu Daily published in the Global Times.
The surrogates used their real photos on forged identity cards with the personal information of the real exam-takers.
Surrogates can earn up to 25,000 yuan if the test score results allow the student to enter a first-tier university.
When all else fails, there's nothing like some good old-fashioned encouragement to spur students on.
Stephen Hawking took to social media site Weibo to wish this year's candidates good luck, calling them the "next generation of big thinkers and thought leaders", and saying they would shape the future for generations to come.
The post quickly went viral on Weibo, with many users saying they were cheered on by the physicist's encouragement.
South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO also wished the students luck, saying in a video that they would be able to achieve success if they believed in themselves.
The world number 10 from Antrim compiled breaks of 65, 76 and 56 against Welshman Day in Sofia.
The title earns Allen 25,000 euro and a place in the Champion of Champions event, which starts on Tuesday.
"I'm very happy to get another tournament win under my belt - to win 4-0 in the final shows my game is in good shape," said the 29-year-old.
Allen won seven matches in Bulgaria to secure his third ranking event success.
He will be back in action on Tuesday with a first-round game against Barry Hawkins at the Champion of Champions in Coventry.
"To get a place in the Champion of Champions is a massive bonus and I'll be going into it with a lot of confidence having won in Sofia." added Allen.
"I haven't been too happy with my performances this season even though I've been winning matches, but now I'm getting closer to where I want to be."
Eleven blocks of Cheddar, each weighing about 20kg, were taken from the Yeovil Show at the weekend.
A £500 reward has been offered by one cheesemaker for the safe return of his two winning cheeses.
Show organisers said the most valuable cheese stolen was mysteriously returned to the site on Tuesday.
Event director Sam Mackenzie-Green said her team was "shocked" to discover two separate thefts during Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
She said "nothing like this has ever happened before" but added they had a "strong lead" as to who the culprit may be.
"It's such a mean thing to do," she added.
"It's a great disappointment and next year we will absolutely improve security by moving the cheeses to a secure unit overnight."
Richard Clothier from Somerset-based Wyke Farms saw his champion and reserve champion blocks, or truckles, stolen overnight on Saturday.
He said it "beggars belief" the two blocks, which each weighed the same as a bag of cement, could have been stolen. He has offered a £500 reward for their safe return.
"One of my ancestors had his cheese stolen in 1879, but it has not happened to me and I've certainly never heard of thefts like this from a show," he said.
"It's such a shame for the team to lose the cheese and the certificate to reward their work."
Avon and Somerset police confirmed they were investigating the theft and inquiries were "ongoing".
The Yeovil Show began in the 19th century. It closed in the 1960s but was revived last year.
The show attracted 23,000 visitors over Saturday and Sunday with the prize Cheddar marquee one of the key attractions.
It is built with straight, parallel strings, promising a superior sound to a regular piano, in which the strings are installed diagonally.
Barenboim launched the instrument at London's Royal Festival Hall, in advance of his Schubert recital series.
He intends to perform the entire series on the new piano.
Modern pianos have become highly standardized, with few changes to their fundamental design over the last 100 years.
They are largely cross-strung, with the bass strings crossing over the middle and treble strings in an "x" pattern, allowing the sound to be concentrated on the centre of the soundboard.
Barenboim was inspired to experiment with the design after playing Franz Liszt's restored grand piano during a trip to Siena, Italy in September 2011.
"The warmth and tonal characteristics of the traditional straight-strung instruments is so different from the homogenous tone produced by the modern piano across its entire range," he said.
"The clearly distinguishable voices and colour across its registers of Liszt's piano inspired me to explore the possibility of combining these qualities with the power, looks, evenness of touch, stability of tuning and other technical advantages of the modern piano."
He developed his idea with Belgian instrument maker Chris Maene, with support from Steinway & Sons.
As well as the straight strings, the Barenboim-Maene piano features a double bridge and horizontal soundboard veins.
According to a press release, the piano "combines the touch, stability, and power of a modern piano with the transparent sound quality and distinguishable colour registers of more historic instruments".
Pianist Gwendolyn Mok, who plays an 1875 straight-strung Erard piano, has said that such instruments possess superior clarity.
"If you look inside your own piano, you will notice that the strings are all crossing each other," she told the San Francisco Examiner in 2013.
"With the straight strung piano you get distinct registral differences - almost like listening to a choir where you have the bass, tenor, alto, and soprano voices.
"It is very clear and there is no blending or homogenizing of the sound. It therefore gives you huge opportunities in experimenting with colour."
Martese Johnson was filmed being arrested near the University of Virginia where he is a student.
The video shows him pinned to the ground with blood streaming from his face as he accuses the police of racism.
Prosecutors said "the interest of justice is best served" by dropping the charged of drinking underage.
Speaking at press conference on Friday, Mr Johnson said he was "ecstatic" that the charges had been dismissed, and that the incident invigorated a desire to work for social justice.
The Virginia governor called for an inquiry following the arrest of the 20 year-old Chicago native by agents of the Alcoholic Beverage Control department (ABC).
The arresting officers are on desk duty until the review of the ABC is complete.
Alan Bacon, 21, thought working at Currys in Cardiff would be ideal given his love of cameras, and he spent a week preparing for the interview.
But instead of showcasing his skills, he ended up doing robotic-style dancing "like a scene out of [BBC TV comedy] The Office".
Currys has since apologised.
It has also admitted that the dance segment of the interview had been a mistake and was not part of its official recruitment processes.
Mr Bacon has been looking for work since gaining his degree in documentary, film and TV from the University of South Wales in July.
He said he was finding the process "extremely hard" because so many people were job hunting.
After finding out he had an interview for a sales assistant role at Currys Megastore in Newport Road, he was told he would have five minutes to talk to interviewers about his hobbies.
So, armed with photographs to highlight his love of astronomy, he went to the group interview on Tuesday.
But he said he was left "incredulous" as the group was told it was being split into two, with each having to make up a dance.
"I think everyone initially thought it was a joke," said Mr Bacon, whose ambition is to make science documentaries.
"But they were serious. All professionalism went out of the window. I'd spent the past week researching the company and looking forward to being able to express myself and talk about what I love doing.
"But I just felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable. I ended up dancing to Around the World by Daft Punk, doing rubbish robotics in my suit in front of a group of strangers.
"I told my dad it was like a scene out of The Office. I would have walked out but I need a job.
"Another middle aged guy looked really upset as he danced to a rap song.
"I've been to quite a few job interviews and have never had to do anything like it before. To be honest, it was hard to be taken seriously after it."
Mr Bacon, who had moved to Cardiff from Newport in the hope that it would help his job search, said he did not get the Currys job and is still looking for work.
His experience has echoes of a scene in the recent BBC Three documentary The Call Centre, where new recruits at a telephone sales company in Swansea had to join in a mass singalong to The Killers' Mr Brightside.
Lottie Dexter, who founded the campaign group Million Jobs, which lobbies on behalf of unemployed young people, said more and more companies were using "more innovative" ways to interview people.
"But this is the one of the craziest and most outrageous I've heard about," she said.
"I think the companies see it as a way of loosening people up and taking them out of their comfort zone and seeing how they react in different situations.
"There's more competition and people are having to jump through more and more hoops to get a job.
"In fairness, I think employers want to make the interviews fun.
"But they often forget that people going for jobs can be really insecure and it's a huge deal for them. They want to come across at their best.
"I think it shows a lack of understanding and a complete disconnect between businesses and job hunters."
A spokesman for Currys said it was inviting those involved in the dance process back for another interview.
He said the dance had been part of team building exercises, although these were not part of its official recruitment process which would normally include a more formal interview.
"Regrettably, the store in question did not follow our official recruitment processes on this specific occasion," he said.
"We are currently investigating those members of the store who held the recruitment session.
"We are very sorry to those interviewees impacted on this occasion and would like to invite them back to attend an official interview where they will be given a proper opportunity to demonstrate how they can contribute to our business."
Mr Bacon said he had politely declined the offer of another interview.
Emergency services were called to the crash between the minibus and a bin lorry on the A38 in Castle Vale, Birmingham at 09:00 BST on Friday.
Another girl was taken to hospital and 24 people, including the lorry driver, were treated at the scene.
The pupils were all from John Taylor High School in Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire.
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
The girl died at the crash scene, the ambulance service said.
West Midlands Police said three teachers and a further 20 pupils were on the minibus.
The teenager who suffered minor injuries was taken to Heartlands Hospital.
Machine worker Stephen Jones, 38, who works nearby, said: "I heard a big bang at 9am this morning - a massive bang.
"I came over and had a look and the police were here with the sirens and they'd shut it all.
"I saw the coroner's ambulance and I heard a girl had passed away."
He added: "There are a lot of accidents here all the time, it's a busy road."
In a letter to parents, school principal Mike Donoghue said pupils would be able to receive support from teachers and other staff.
He said: "Your child, who has brought this letter home today, has been told about this and they may well be very upset by this sad event.
"We therefore felt it was important you know what has happened and what we are are doing in school to support your child."
"Our thoughts, at this very tragic and sad time, are with the family, their friends and the pupils and staff involved," the letter added.
The school later tweeted its thanks for support during the "desperately sad time".

The school earlier said some of its Year 9 and 12 pupils had been on an art trip when the crash happened.
In a statement, Birmingham City Council confirmed the bin lorry was one of its fleet and said it was "deeply saddened" about what had happened.
"As a city council trade waste vehicle was involved in the incident we will be fully co-operating with all investigations," it said.
No arrests have been made, however, police said that both drivers were assisting with the "detailed and thorough" investigation.
Asked by reporters if the pupils were wearing seatbelts, he replied: "That will be part of our investigation and, at the moment, I can't confirm either way whether or not pupils were wearing seatbelts or otherwise."
He said he would not speculate on the cause of the collision.
Forensic experts were at the scene on Friday afternoon.
From the roadside, damage to the bin lorry's front end was visible and the rear right-hand portion of the minibus had been covered over with a green tarpaulin.
Officers were also carrying out skid tests and taking distance markings on the dual carriageway.
The school is a specialist science and leadership academy and has 1,500 pupils.
The calendar on the school's website suggests a trip had been planned for Friday to Birmingham's Botanical Gardens and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
It also shows the school's Year 11 prom was due to be held on Friday night.
It is located in Barton-under-Needwood, close to Burton-upon-Trent and Lichfield.
Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant, whose constituency includes the school, tweeted he was "heartbroken" to hear about the girl's death.

Councillor John Clancy, leader of Birmingham City Council, said he was "shocked and saddened by the tragic incident".
West Midlands Police's Force Contact team earlier tweeted that the road was expected to be closed for a "considerable time".
The 36-year-old man was attacked in an alleyway, between Cranley Road and Bayswater Road, in Barton, Oxford at about 20:45 GMT on Saturday.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Police said it was a "highly unusual and isolated" attack.
No details have been released about the offender but officers have appealed for information.
Moussa Dembele's penalty cancelled out Lars Stindl's opener and kept alive Celtic's hopes of progressing from Group C.
It is only the third time in 29 Champions League group games away from home that Celtic have avoided defeat.
Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner rates the performances of the Celtic players against the Bundesliga outfit.
Craig Gordon 7
Didn't do anything wrong, made a couple of saves and had no chance for the goal.
Cristian Gamboa 7
Played very well after the first 10 minutes when he was giving the ball away. Once he settled down, he was up and down the right wing and did quite well.
Mikael Lustig 7
Solid at the back. Any problems he had were more from midfielders giving the ball away in bad areas.
Erik Sviatchenko 7
Similar to Lustig, although maybe for the Stindl goal he could have closed down the ball a bit better, but he still gets a seven.
Emilio Izaguirre 8
Played very well defensively, stuck to his task and did everything asked of him. Stayed in position and didn't bomb forward.
Scott Brown 7
Was on his own in the middle of the park for a lot of the time. It was a difficult night for him up against Stindl but he led the team quite well.
Stuart Armstrong 7
He made some mistakes but he went looking for the ball. He ran 7.2km - more than any other Celtic player. It's not his natural position - almost a holding midfielder role - but he'll learn from the match.
James Forrest 6
Didn't affect the game enough from a positive point of view. He worked away but a little bit more is expected from him and it wasn't a surprise when he was taken off.
Tom Rogic 6
Like Forrest, he could've affected the game a little bit more positively. He's having a wonderful season but in Germany he didn't quite get himself into positions in which spectators are accustomed to seeing him in.
Scott Sinclair 7
He hit the post with a fantastic effort and had a couple of other chances despite being up against a very good full-back. He worked away tirelessly all night and always looked a threat.
Moussa Dembele 7
His composure and also his part in winning the penalty were terrific. To go up and stick away a penalty in the Champions League was not easy after missing one in Barcelona.
Patrick Roberts 7 (replaced Forrest)
He was involved in the big moments: he put the pass through for Dembele's goal and for Callum McGregor's late chance. To come on and make an impact is all you can ask of a substitute.
Callum McGregor 6 (replaced Rogic)
He had that big chance - he could have been the hero. He should have scored or picked the pass to Sinclair. Probably didn't have long enough to make a huge contribution but he'll be disappointed with the miss.
Liam Henderson 6 (replaced Gamboa)
Came on late in the game. Looked nice and lively and had one shot that he curled just wide.
The camera generates power by converting some of the light falling on its sensor into electricity that is then used to take a snap.
Theoretically the self-powered device could take a picture every second, forever.
The camera's creators are now refining the device and are looking into ways to commercialise the technology.
"We are in the middle of a digital imaging revolution," said Prof Shree Nayar, director of the computer vision laboratory at Columbia University in New York who invented the device. "A camera that can function as an untethered device forever - without any external power supply - would be incredibly useful."
Prof Nayar said the route to creating the device opened up when he realised that solar panels and digital cameras use almost the same component, known as a photodiode, to handle light. Working with engineers, Prof Nayar managed to create a photodiode that combined the light-sensing abilities of a camera with the power-converting properties seen in solar panels.
The next step was to use lots of the combined photodiodes to form a grid that both senses the intensity of light falling on it and converts some of that illumination into power that captures an image.
The prototype sensor grid is just 30 by 40 pixels in size and currently takes grainy black and white images. To demonstrate its abilities, Prof Nayar and colleagues used their self-powered camera to shoot a short film.
Prof Nayar told the BBC that the next step in development was to make a self-powered, solid-state image sensor with many more pixels that could then be used to produce a standalone camera that could be used anywhere.
The self-powering sensor could also be used to lower the power consumption needs of smartphones and other gadgets, he said, or, when not being used to take pictures, could also function as an in-built power generator.
Local residents say the Lansdowne Monument above Cherhill, near Calne, has suffered weather damage.
The 38m (125 ft) Grade II* listed obelisk was built in 1845.
The National Trust said damage was "less than expected" and no date had yet been set for its conservation, which will cost over £600,000, due to a backlog of projects.
Local resident, Ralph Scott, said the monument had been neglected and was "an eyesore" since protective hoarding and scaffolding was put up around it in 2009.
"I'm sure they [the National Trust] have got enough money in their kitty to do little job on this. It won't cost that much."
Other local people told the BBC they believed the monument's condition had got worse in the past few months.
The obelisk was last repaired in 1990, but the stone used was softer than that used originally, and it has already started to wear away.
A spokesman said the National Trust was "committed" to the monument's conservation, but due to "a large backlog of projects" and "limited funding available" a date had not yet been set for repairs to begin.
"The monument is being carefully monitored and the deterioration is actually less than expected probably because of the mild winters, since it is frost action which causes the greatest damage," the trust said.
The monument was commissioned by the Third Marquess of Lansdowne to commemorate his ancestor, Sir William Petty, and was designed by Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament.
Janice Dixon, a vet from Help for Horses, said mandatory microchips were not being used and people were scared to report culprits.
She said she knew of seven cases in the past three months in the East Midlands.
The RSPCA said the country was experiencing a "horse crisis" and 70% of horses it attended were not chipped.
A dying horse was dumped along with other rubbish in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, in November, while a mare and two young horses were left at Little Eaton, also in Derbyshire, last week.
Other horses were recently reported found in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Essex and Humberside.
A spokesman for the RSPCA said: "We believe the two main reasons for the ongoing horse crisis are the recession and over breeding.
"Prices for horses have dropped significantly, while irresponsible horse dealers continue to breed horses in the hope prices will rise."
Robert Taylor, from Derbyshire Trading Standards, which enforces fly-tipping and microchipping in the county, said resources were stretched.
"It is very difficult to police every single horse that is in Derbyshire and we do not have the resources to do that.
"The welfare of horses is not a statutory responsibility of local authorities and we are having to cut back on things we have to do, let alone things we are not obliged to do."
Miss Dixon said: "These horses, when they are sick or dying, are worth nothing - less that nothing as they cost up to £150 to dispose of.
"People are too scared to speak out as those involved are involved in lots of other things."
At the beginning of January she offered a £2,000 reward for information.
"Since I offered the reward I have had a lot of information about who is doing this and I have handed that over to the authorities, but so far nothing has happened.
"Dumping a horse breaks laws on fly-tipping, microchipping and animal cruelty, yet no one wants to stop it."
Palace had struggled to break down the much-changed Ipswich side until McArthur's driving run and curling finish made it 1-0 after 76 minutes.
Jason Lokilo smashed the post before McArthur found the top corner from just inside the area to double the lead.
Manchester City loanee Bersant Celina scored a consolation for Ipswich with a close-range finish in added time.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy made 11 changes to his side who have won all four of their opening league fixtures and the young Tractor Boys did well to keep their Premier League opposition at bay for the majority of the tie.
When their defences were breached, goalkeeper Dean Gerken was on hand to keep the hosts out, making excellent stops from Yohan Cabaye, Sullay Kaikai and Lokilo to frustrate the home crowd.
However, it was McArthur who eventually made the difference, finding the top corner with two excellent finishes with either foot.
The lively Celina halved the deficit from Ben Morris' cross, but Palace held on to give former Ajax manager De Boer his maiden win.

A four-day security operation at the farm in Kinawley ended on Saturday evening.
Police said bomb timers, detonators and fuses were also seized, as well as a gun, 100 rounds of ammunition and forensic suits and gloves.
A 43-year-old man arrested on Wednesday remains in custody.
Police have linked the weapons to dissident republicans.
PSNI Det Supt Kevin Geddes said: "Firstly, I would like to thank the members of the public in the Kinawley area for their patience whilst my officers carried out a professional policing operation over a number of days which has recovered a quantity of munitions.
"The items we have recovered have the potential to cause injury, damage and death, and Northern Ireland is a safer place with these items beyond the reach of the dangerous individuals who would seek to use them."
Police began searches of buildings, vehicles and fields at the farm, which is located in a remote spot off a quiet road that leads to the border about 1km mile away, on Wednesday.
Neighbours said they heard what sounded like three controlled explosions on Friday evening. They said there had been no sign of activity at the farm before the security operation.
Dermot McDonnell said 23 of his sheep are missing since the overnight landslide took place at his cliff-top farm at Kilmore, near Glenariff.
He said boulders "wiped out" ash trees and fears further movement could pose a risk to his house and the road below.
He said he has informed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Mr McDonnell, 56, said it was the biggest landslide he has seen in the area in his life.
He told the BBC it was still being carried downhill by the heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon.
The sheep and cattle farmer grazes his livestock on about 100 acres of land near cliffs in Kilmore and regularly inspects the animals at the spot where the landslide took place.
He said he believed his life would have been at risk if he had been walking in the area at the time, and fears his missing sheep may have been buried in the debris.
Mr McDonnell blamed the landslide on days of heavy rain, following a very wet December.
He has called for assistance from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to reinstate the grazing land he has lost.
Camera traps discovered a small population with at least six cubs in the jungle.
Poaching and the loss of habitat has reduced the global population of the sub-species to under 250.
Conservationists said the success was due to the stepping-up of anti-poaching efforts in Thailand.
Counter-trafficking organisation Freeland and Panthera, the wild cat conservation group, conducted the survey with the support of the Thai park authorities.
Until this find, only one other breeding population of Indochinese tigers - also in a Thai national park - was known of.
World tiger numbers show increase
Hunting Thailand's farm tiger traffickers
"The extraordinary rebound of eastern Thailand's tigers is nothing short of miraculous," said John Goodrich, tiger programme director at Panthera.
The director of Thailand's national parks, Songtam Suksawang, said: "The stepping up of anti-poaching patrols and law enforcement efforts in this area have played a pivotal role in conserving the tiger population by ensuring a safe environment for them to breed.
"However, we must remain vigilant and continue these efforts, because well-armed poachers still pose a major threat."
Numbers of tigers in the wild have dwindled from 100,000 a century ago to 3,900 today, the groups said in a joint statement.
Thailand was the first country in this region to deplete its forests, to such an extent that by the 1980s it had banned logging. It was also among the first to establish national parks, but initially these were also badly stressed by illegal logging and hunting.
At the time, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and even Vietnam had a lot of pristine forests left, with healthy populations of tigers. Tigers declined in Thailand to the point where in the early 2000s it was thought they were close to extinction.
But since then, massive illegal exploitation has badly depleted the forests and tiger populations in the other countries - even Myanmar - to the point where Indochinese tigers are believed extinct in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and nearly so in eastern Myanmar. Western Myanmar still has a population of Bengal tigers.
Meanwhile, protection has allowed the tiny population of Indochinese tigers in Thailand to recover a bit. So, with its moderately well-run national parks, Thailand finds itself unexpectedly the last stronghold of the Indochinese tiger.
Crolla, 30, lost his belt to Venezuelan Linares, 31, on points in a gruelling bout at the same venue in September.
It was the Manchester fighter's second defence of the title he won by beating Darleys Perez in November 2015.
"I see Jorge as the best lightweight in the world and I want to be the best lightweight in the world," said Crolla.
"I came up short on the night against the better man - with improvements, I believe I can change the result this time around.
"The better the opponent, the better I will perform. I'm improving still as a fighter and athlete despite turning 30 recently.
"I want to be remembered as someone who took on the best around and be mentioned in the same breath as them."
After a controversial draw with Perez in July 2015, Crolla knocked out the Colombian four months later to claim the WBA title, before stopping Ismael Barroso in his first defence in May 2016.
But he failed to make his power tell against the quick and skilful Linares, who immediately offered Crolla a rematch after extending his overall record to 41 wins and three losses.
"I am really excited to be going back to Manchester," said Linares. "I was treated very well by everyone and gained a lot of new British fans.
"Crolla is a tremendous fighter with a lot of heart so I know I must train twice as hard for another tough fight.
"I promise another great performance and assure that the belts are returning home with me."
Crews were called to Les Landes in St Ouen at about 04:00 BST after reports of flames and smoke.
The cause of the blaze on the headland, which was tackled by 17 firefighters, is currently unknown.
Local roads were closed while crews put out the fire which damaged gorse and heather in an area of about 295ft (90m) by 394ft (120m).
The 21-year-old will join the Italian double winners on a five-year contract.
Dybala has scored 13 goals this season and following his final home game - a defeat by Fiorentina - was thrown into the air by team-mates.
"Juventus are the side who wanted me the most," Dybala told Italian TV. "They made a real effort to sign me and this is why I made my decision,"
Dybala joined Palermo in August 2012 from Argentine club Instituto for a reported fee of 12m euros.
Juventus say the deal could rise to 40m euros with add-ons.
Speaking before the deal was announced, Dybala added: "It will be impossible for me to forget everything I've experienced in three years at Palermo.
"I was happy from the very first day. I know that to play for Juve, I have to do much more and I'm sure I can improve a great deal."
Atdhe Nuhiu's stoppage-time strike meant Watford could only manage a draw against Sheffield Wednesday, allowing Bournemouth to take top spot.
After his side's 1-1 draw, Jokanovic said: "He made a mistake, we didn't.
"He didn't give the penalty and their goal was offside."
Probert was the official in charge when Gabriele Angella was sent off inside the first minute of Watford's 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth in January - a decision that was later overturned by the Football League.
Jokanovic added that he could not understand the referee's explanations as to why Troy Deeney was denied a penalty in the first half, or why Wednesday players were not flagged offside from the free-kick that the visitors eventually scored from.
"One guy played with so many people's emotions in this stadium and it is not acceptable," the Serb said.
"They explained to me that Troy was running in the opposite direction of the goal. I probably do not understand the rules but that is a joke.
"They delivered the free-kick, their players tried to intervene and touch the ball. If I know the rules then that is offside, but perhaps the rules are different in the Championship.
"We made our mistakes in this game in front of their goal but not in front of our goal."
St Ninian's High, in Giffnock, covers three local and two Glasgow primaries.
East Renfrewshire Council wants to limit automatic entry to its own area with Glasgow pupils only gaining access through placing requests.
It looks set to back the move after a consultation showed most local parents supported plans. Glasgow respondents and most pupils were strongly opposed.
The recommendation to proceed is contained in a report detailing the results of the consultation which ran from September to December last year.
East Renfrewshire Council is seeking to change the current St Ninian's catchment area as it says the Roman Catholic-denominational school is at capacity and cannot cope with higher numbers.
The cross-border arrangement between East Renfrewshire Council and Glasgow City Council over the school was born out of local government reorganisation in the mid-1990s.
It was agreed that pupils from St Angela's and the former St Louise's primary schools in Glasgow would attend St Ninian's.
When St Louise's was closed during a merger with St Vincent's Primary, a portion of its pupils who stayed in certain postcode areas, retained the right to transfer to St Ninian's.
New housing developments in the St Angela's catchment area also saw more children from Glasgow qualify for transfer to St Ninian's.
East Renfrewshire now wants to limit automatic admission to St Ninian's to its three local schools - St Cadoc's, St Joseph's, and Our Lady of the Missions.
Under the new proposals, the authority would only accept pupils from the Glasgow schools under placing requests, with no guarantee given as to admission.
In the case of these placing requests, priority would be given to pupils who were baptised Catholics.
More than 4,000 people - including parents and pupils - responded to the consultation on the proposals.
A majority of parents from East Renfrewshire who responded backed the moves with a majority in Glasgow opposed.
Most of the pupils from East Renfrewshire who responded to the consultation disagreed with the proposals, as did all of the parent councils that responded.
A council report on the consultation has now recommended "that the education committee adopts the proposals to change the admissions arrangements to St Ninian's High School for the start of the school session 2012-13 and beyond".
To see a more detailed breakdown of responses, including from parents, unions, staff and parent councils go to pages 7 to 10 of the consultation document.
Doyle, 28, has signed a three-year deal, having scored four goals in 29 games for the Lillywhites in a season-long stint at Deepdale last term.
He joined the Bluebirds from Chesterfield in February 2015 for a fee reported to be around £1m, but made only 18 appearances for the Welsh club.
"I'm grateful to be back here," Doyle told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"For it to be done so early so I can get the full pre-season with the lads is a boost.
"Once I knew there was a possibility of returning I just jumped in the car and hotfooted it here to get it over the line.
"It was one of the best changing rooms I've been in, the lads really helped me and I didn't feel like a loan player so it was an easy decision to make.
"It helps massively with team spirit and we've got that in abundance at the moment."
With goalkeeper Chris Maxwell, striker Simon Makienok and defender Tommy Spurr also confirmed, Preston have now made four new additions to the squad for the forthcoming Championship season.
Eleanor De Freitas, who died in April aged 23, had bipolar disorder and left notes saying she was scared of court.
Director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders, who reviewed the prosecution, said it had been in the public interest and correctly handled.
Ms De Freitas' father had blamed the CPS for his daughter's death.
Head of the Crown Prosecution Service Ms Saunders said she had met with David De Freitas in "one of the most complex" cases she had seen.
"Having considered the detail and the issues raised by the family, I am satisfied that the decision making in this case was correct and that it was made in accordance with our policies and guidance," Ms Saunders said.
An inquest into Ms De Freitas' death was opened and adjourned in November.
She told the Metropolitan Police she had been raped in early 2013.
But, after police said there was insufficient evidence to pursue her allegation, the man she had accused took out a private prosecution against her for allegedly perverting the course of justice.
Ms De Freitas' solicitors asked the Crown Prosecution Service to halt the private action but instead prosecutors decided to take it over and continue it.
Three days before Ms De Freitas was due to stand trial in April, she took her own life.
She had suffered a mental breakdown during her first year at Durham University and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder for which she received medical treatment.
The inquest into her death was halted while Ms Saunders carried out a review of the case, demanding a "full explanation" from the prosecutors who brought the case.
In her statement, Ms Saunders defended their decision, saying that there had been "strong" evidence against Ms De Freitas.
"This was evidence including text messages and CCTV footage that directly contradicted the account Ms De Freitas gave to the police," she added.
"It was on this basis that we concluded that there was a realistic prospect of proving that the rape allegation made by Ms De Freitas was false, and there was also a strong public interest in prosecuting due to the seriousness of the alleged offence which was maintained by the defendant for some time and which led to the arrest of an individual."
She pointed out that CPS guidance stated that it should take over private prosecutions for serious offences, and said it would have been inappropriate not to have taken the case on.
The 30-year-old was shot on the doorstep of his home in November 2004.
A Freedom of Information request by the Press and Journal also reveals that officers have spent almost £15,000 on overtime, hotels, travel and food since April last year.
However, Police Scotland has refused to disclose the number of officers who have been involved in the inquiry.
The force will also not reveal how many officer hours have been spent on the investigation.
The father-of-two was shot with a German-made handgun by a stocky man in a baseball cap who had handed him an envelope. He died later in hospital.
A massive police investigation was launched but the murder remains unsolved.
The gun involved was found on 8 December 2004 in a drain on Seabank Road, Nairn, by council workers carrying out gully cleaning.
Forensic analysis identified it as the murder weapon but tests on the gun failed to extract any DNA.
Mr Wilson was shot with a German-made handgun by a stocky man in a baseball cap.
The Haenel Suhl Model 1 Schmeisser was manufactured between 1920 and 1945 at a Schmeisser factory in Germany.
The ammunition used was .25 calibre made by Sellier and Bellot in the Czech Republic between 1983 and 1993.
About 40,000 of the guns were produced in Germany and police suspect the weapon may have been brought back to the UK either as a war trophy, for legitimate export or on the black market.
Police have been holding a homicide governance review which looks at previous investigations to ascertain if all possible lines of inquiry have been thoroughly exhausted.
In November last year the father-of-two's family said they feared the murderer could kill again.
The family said the motive for the shooting was a mystery and it was difficult for his wife and sons to achieve closure.

The scheme involved mental health nurses going out on patrol with police in Canterbury.
Figures obtained by Radio Kent showed there was a 30% reduction in the number of people being sectioned by the force under the Mental Health Act.
However, the project has been cancelled because of a lack of police resources being blamed.
Karen Dorey-Rees, from the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust, said the triage service was a success.
"Officers were detaining people unnecessarily and that's not a criticism of them, they just didn't have any alternative. Hence the idea of putting a nurse with them," she said.
"We felt the pilot was very effective, we've had a different view when we look at our data [compared to the police].
"It was very unfortunate they had to withdraw the officers although I do understand the rationale behind it."
However, Insp Wayne Goodwin, who is Kent Police's mental health liaison officer, said it was very difficult to give "full county coverage" with the street triage service.
"We often tend to be the first resort instead of the last resort for people in mental health crisis," he said.
"We're now able to take advantage of a call system where officers at the scene can seek the advice of a mental health expert on a 24/7 basis.
"The [street triage] trial has ceased in its current format."
It was very clear from the beginning that South Africa would not only be breaking international law by allowing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to fly out of a military base but would be going against its own courts.
In a constitutional democracy such as this one, it could be argued that President Jacob Zuma should have not allowed Mr Bashir to come into the country in the first instance.
And many are questioning why South Africa decided to violate its own obligations to the International Criminal Court (ICC), which wants to try Mr Bashir on charges of genocide and war crimes related to the conflict in Darfur - charges he denies.
The answer perhaps lies somewhere between a former liberation movement's nostalgia for being defiant to the West and a lack of strategic thinking.
ICC 'dead' after Bashir exit
Rise of Omar al-Bashir
Q&A: International Criminal Court
But South Africa's own standing in Africa may be another, more complex, reason for its defiance.
The recent xenophobic attacks on fellow Africans diminished South Africa's status amongst African peers.
The country as a whole, from government to business, has been hard at work trying to recover lost ground from that embarrassing episode.
Africa was not just disappointed by the behaviour of South Africans, it was angry.
At least seven people died in over a month of attacks on foreigners and foreign-owned property.
Many countries repatriated their nationals who felt too afraid to stay in South Africa.
So the idea of arresting a sitting head of state so soon after the violence was simply unthinkable.
It would have been considered a colossal failure of judgement when it came to maintaining cordial relations with the rest of the continent.
In 2010, before the ICC added genocide charges to its arrest warrant for Mr Bashir in relation to crimes of humanity allegations in Darfur, the AU sent a communique to the UN Security Council asking for proceedings to be deferred until a political solution was found.
The Security Council did not reply, and this, according to law professor Bonita Meyersfeld, was when the antagonism between the AU and ICC was born.
She told the BBC that the weekend drama was "a devastating moment for South Africa's democracy, with such a blatant disregard of its own laws".
Critics of the ICC should not be asking whether the court was unfairly targeting Africa, the University of Witwatersrand lecturer said.
"The question is: Why is the ICC not holding people from the developed world criminally accountable?"
I pressed her to give examples: "The obvious suspects are [former UK Prime Minister Tony] Blair and [former US President George W] Bush who are in contravention of international law over the invasion of Iraq."
The UK government at the time said it received legal advice that the invasion in 2003 was lawful.
Ms Meyersfeld added that "Russia for its actions in Chechnya and Israel and Palestine" were other cases that deserved attention.
But the fact that ICC's scales seem unfairly tilted against Africa does not mean that South Africa, which is this week commemorating the youth anti-apartheid uprising of 1976, should violate its own court order.

East Fife climbed three places to third after a 1-0 win over Albion Rovers.
Brechin City sit fourth following their goalless draw with Stranraer.
Bottom side Stenhousemuir stayed in the hunt for a relegation play-off, beating ninth-placed Peterhead to close the gap on their opponents to two points, while Alloa Athletic beat Airdrieonians 1-0.
In Livingston, Nikolay Todorov latched on to Danny Mullen's fine ball to hand the home side their opener, poking it beyond the goalkeeper.
Mullen doubled their lead midway through the second half, while provider for the second - Declan Gallagher - claimed another assist as he set up Josh Mullin with 10 minutes remaining. Nicky Cadden completed the scoring at the death.
Alloa, who sealed their spot in this season's play-offs with last weekend's 6-1 mauling of Brechin, only needed one goal to claim maximum points from their victory at Excelsior Stadium.
After a goalless first half, the visitors broke the deadlock when Jordan Kirkpatrick found the top corner for his 14th goal of the season.
East Fife are level on 46 points with three other teams - Brechin, Airdrieonians and Queen's Park - but strengthened their play-off hopes by beating Albion Rovers.
Chris Duggan set up Jason Kerr just after the hour mark and he fired into the bottom-left corner, but Duggan then saw red as he was shown his second yellow card for allegedly diving with seven minutes remaining.
Oli Shaw's 12th-minute winner kept Stenhousemuir in with a chance of avoiding automatic relegation, while a point for Brechin at Glebe Park was sufficient to propel them into the final play-off spot with two games remaining.
With Surrey needing 11 to win off the final over, paceman Berg (4-64) took the wickets of Tom Curran and Gareth Batty as Surrey finished on 283-9.
Ben Foakes and Zafar Ansari's 130-run stand had earlier got Surrey back into the match with them struggling on 72-4.
Tom Alsop (116) was the pick of the home batsmen - his maiden List A ton in his fourth match helping them to 289-8.
Sean Ervine added 50 for his second half-century in successive One-Day Cup matches, following his 53 in the defeat by Gloucestershire on Tuesday.
In response, two of Surrey's top four fell for a combined three runs, before Foakes (72) and Ansari (62) put together a partnership that lasted 23.2 overs.
But, despite them falling within 13 balls of each other, brothers Tom and Sam Curran shared 55, before the latter was caught by Mason Crane in the 48th over off the bowling of Berg for 42.
After the visitors could only manage five runs off Tino Best's next over, Berg dismissed Tom Curran (25) and Batty in two balls as the hosts ended the day two points above Surrey in the South Group in sixth.
The winger opened the scoring, with tries from Matty Ashurst, Sam Williams and Bill Tupou putting them 24-0 ahead.
Aaron Brown got the Rams on the board after the break, but Caton-Brown added a 50-metre second to restore the lead.
Tupou and Ashley Gibson crossed before Caton-Brown scored twice in three minutes to complete the victory, with Liam Finn converting all nine tries.
Dewsbury have won just one of their 12 league fixtures this season and sixth-placed Super League side Trinity were simply too good, with stand-off Finn unflappable from the kicking tee and Caton-Brown's finishing electric.
Caton-Brown, who joined Trinity from Salford in September, set the pattern of the match by the scoring in the corner after just four minutes.
Trinity took complete control of the tie through some neat play and clinical finishing, with Tupou crossing twice before Finn's perfect kicking and Caton-Brown's carrying added gloss to the scoreline.
Dewsbury coach Neil Kelly:
"I can't remember a time when I've lost a game by over 50 points and said that we defended superbly. Fitness took its toll in the end, but we scrambled well and showed a great desire to keep them out.
"I've got so much respect for the players and so many positives came out of that for us as a team.
"If we can keep sides out like that in the Championship we'll climb the table, but we have to do better with the ball as well."
Wakefield coach John Kear:
"I'd like to give Dewsbury a pat on the back because they are doing it tough at the moment yet I thought they showed plenty of spirit and some of their on-line defence was very, very desperate - they played well.
"I like to think we play a good brand of rugby league and you only have to look at the number of tries our wingers score.
"Everyone goes on about Castleford and the tries their wingers score but ours aren't bad either. It's exciting for the fans to watch."

A Scottish Professional Football League working party is examining the possibility.
SPFL secretary Iain Blair said: "It is a debate which is under way at all levels within the game, but there are no specific solutions at this point."
The old Scottish Premier League had a winter break from 1998-99, but this was scrapped in 2002-2003.
However, with Aberdeen and St Johnstone now having to play the opening matches of the Europa League qualifiers this week, the issue has raised its head once more.
The introduction of the Uefa Nations Cup in 2018 will also mean more internationals being played in June.
Support for a change in the football calendar was shown by a BBC Scotland survey earlier this month, when 10 out of the 12 Premiership clubs and 28 of the 42 throughout Scotland said they would consider supporting a switch to summer football.
It would appear that the SPFL working party is now considering a shutdown during January.
"We're looking at the fixture issues to try and find ways in which we can make the best use of dates that are available," added Blair.
"We cannot lose sight of the key European dates and international dates we have to avoid, so that may lead us towards playing more games in the early summer than late summer, whether that's the League Cup in July or starting the League in July.
"And in order to ensure there is a decent break then we have to look at the possibility of a winter break."
Sitting alongside Blair on the working party are chief executive Neil Doncaster, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, Annan Athletic chairman Henry McClelland, Spartans chairman Craig Graham and Scottish FA director of football governance Andrew McKinlay.
Lawwell's club have in recent seasons taken up the option to have their own two-week sunshine break during January.
Initial estimates from Eurostat showed inflation in the bloc hit 1.9%. That was up from 1.5% in March, but just below February's four-year high of 2%.
The ECB aims for an inflation rate of below, but close to, 2%.
On Thursday, ECB head Mario Draghi said the eurozone's economic recovery was "increasingly solid" but inflation was not high enough to lift interest rates.
Following its latest meeting, the ECB kept its main interest rate on hold at zero, and left its bond-buying stimulus scheme unchanged.
The bond-buying programme has already been trimmed to 60bn euros (£51bn) a month from 80bn euros. However, there has been speculation that the ECB could scale back its stimulus measures if the eurozone's economic recovery continues.
The main factor behind April's pick-up in inflation was rising energy prices.
Core inflation - a measure that is watched closely by the ECB and which strips out energy and unprocessed food prices - rose to 1.2% in April from 0.8% in March.
The core figure was stronger than expected, and its highest level since September 2013.
However, Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Markit, said the ECB was "highly unlikely" to read too much into April's data "as it was clearly lifted by Easter timing distortions".
"The April/March swings in eurozone consumer price inflation - both the headline rate and the core rate - were influenced substantially by pricing distortions, resulting from the fact that Easter occurred in mid-April in 2017 compared to late March in 2016."
Separate figures from France showed that the country's economic growth rate slowed in the first three months of the year.
France's economy grew by 0.3% in the quarter, down from a rate of 0.5% in the final three months of 2016.
The slowdown was partly due to weak consumer spending, after unseasonably warm weather led to lower spending on clothes and heating bills.
At Bristol Crown Court, Tony Davies, 37, from Hallen, was ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service for causing Freddie Hussey's death through careless driving.
He was also disqualified from driving for six months.
Freddie's parents called the sentence a "joke" and described Davies as "scum".
Scott and Donna Hussey's outburst came in the courtroom after Judge Geoffrey Mercer handed down Davies's sentence.
Mr Hussey swore at Davies, and Mrs Hussey called the sentence "disgusting" and "no justice at all".
She also shouted at Davies: "I hope you rot in hell. You are scum. He was a beautiful little boy".
The trailer Davies was towing became detached and mounted a kerb on Parson Street in Bedminster, Bristol, on 27 January.
It struck a wall, then hit Freddie, who was walking along the pavement behind his mother.
He suffered head injuries and died in hospital.
Passing sentence, Judge Mercer said there was "no suggestion" that Davies was driving "anything but entirely properly".
"The carelessness lies between the coupling of the Land Rover and the trailer," he added.
In a prepared statement, Freddie's family said: "No sentence will ever reflect the enormous loss and devastation we as a family have suffered.
"We have to find a way to live with this, but we're relieved the court process is now over."
Davies had admitted causing death by careless driving at an earlier hearing.
Avon and Somerset Police called it a "tragic case" and urged drivers to take care when securing trailers.
Ali Qasemi, 45, was attacked in Peterborough in the early hours of Sunday 8 May. He died in hospital two days later.
Mark Lintott, 29, of Shrewsbury Avenue, Peterborough, and Joel Lawson, 25, of Goodhale Road, Norwich, have both been charged with manslaughter and robbery.
There were both due to appear before Peterborough Magistrates.
The victim had two children and his widow was pregnant.
In a statement, issued through Cambridgeshire Police at the time of his death, Mrs Qasemi said: "My husband was my everything; my best friend, my soul mate, my life partner and an amazing father."

The league leaders were travelling to Trabzon airport, following their 5-1 victory over Rizespor, when the shooting happened.
The driver was taken to hospital but no players were injured in the attack.
"As Fenerbahce, we think it's unavoidable to suspend the league until this dark attack is enlightened," a club statement read.
"It is the end of the football and blood has been spilled. Fenerbahce's irrevocable priority is for the culprits to be found and punished immediately."
The club said they would release a further statement after an emergency board meeting on Monday.
The 70km road on which the team bus was travelling in north-east Turkey connects Rize to Trabzon, where Fenerbahce's bitter rivals Trabzonspor are based.
Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike said he and his team-mates had been left stunned by what happened.
"I was on the phone with my brother when I heard the loud sound and I thought one of our tyres had busted because the bus was swerving on the road," the Nigeria international told BBC Sport.
"But when I found our security officer in front of the bus I knew something must have gone awfully wrong.
"We quickly realised the security guy was the one who hit the brake, and he said the driver [who was already soaked in blood] had been shot.
"The word 'shot' came as a big shock but when we saw blood and the shattered driver's side window, it quickly turned into a scary moment for everyone on the bus."
Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor are banned from taking away fans when they play each other and a game between the sides last season at the Avni Aker Stadium in Trabzon was abandoned after objects were thrown on to the pitch.
"There had been other violent attacks over the years," the official said. "Every time we go to Rize, the police take tight security measures, place police officers and cars every 100 metres on the road.
"The security measures would end at the entrance of Rize. But there would always be Trabzonspor fans attacking our bus with stones. In 2004 one of our players was injured after a stone hit his head.
"Two years ago, against Trabzonspor, their fans pulled out a gun towards the administrator's bus but did not shoot. It was recorded on a live TV programme. We could see it coming.
"We have no problem at Rize. But playing in Trabzon is like playing in a rebel zone."
Fenerbahce, who have former Premier League players Dirk Kuyt, Raul Meireles and Emre Belozoglu in their side, are the defending champions of the Super Lig and have won the major domestic competition 19 times.
Saturday's win took the Istanbul team to the top of the table, one point ahead of rivals Galatasaray.
The 25-year-old died on Thursday, two days after being struck in the neck during a domestic match in Australia.
Thousands of people have posted photographs on Twitter, using hashtags #putoutyourbats and #putyourbatsout.
Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland said: "People are putting bats in their back yard and in their front window. We thank them for that."
The idea has captured the imagination, with professional players and amateurs joining in as a mark of respect.
The actress's mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, had ancestral links to Scotland, according to Clan Munro USA.
It believes that an ancestor of Monroe, an alternative spelling of the Scottish surname Munro, was a Highland soldier banished to America in the 1650s.
The society has offered free DNA test kits to Munro men of Highland origin in the hope of learning more.
The search was unveiled to coincide with what would have been Monroe's 90th birthday earlier this month. The star of Some Like it Hot died of an overdose at 36 in August 1962.
Since the launch, Clan Munro USA - which is being assisted in its efforts by the Clan Munro Association in Scotland - has started receiving replies to its offer of DNA kits.
It will take several months to complete the testing and analyse the results.
Clan Munro USA hopes to trace Monroe's Scottish roots through YDNA testing. The Y chromosome is only carried by men and is passed virtually unchanged from father to son.
The society has already tracked down and tested a living descendant of Monroe's great grandfather.
The results were compared to the others in its Munro DNA Project, a database of hundreds of samples provided by Munros living all over the world whose family trees have been studied.
The project includes the descendants of Munros from Easter Ross in the Highlands, also the fifth US president James Monroe and Scots soldiers who were imprisoned and then banished to Britain's America colonies after the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
Worcester was the last battle of the English Civil Wars and involved thousands of Scots combatants.
Texas-based Mark Monroe, of Clan Munro USA, said the YDNA test already done had shown that the Hollywood actress was a descendant of one of those soldiers, said to be a Highlander whose family came from Aldie, near Tain, in the Munro clan's Easter Ross stronghold.
Mr Monroe said: "The YDNA sample marker values matched with other YDNA samples in the Munro YDNA project that then tied her ancestry to a John Munro who settled in Bristol, Rhode Island, after being captured at the Battle of Worcester in 1651 and banished to America."
"We do not know the ancestry of John Munro, but there are likely male Scots living today who have the same characteristic YDNA marker values and, thus, could prove to be cousins of Marilyn Monroe."
A car was damaged by fire. Shops, banks and a police vehicle were also damaged.
The violence forced the authorities to cancel some of the festivities planned for the city's 460th anniversary.
Earlier, some 2,500 people took to the street to complain about the costs of staging the World Cup in Brazil.
They marched through central Sao Paulo waving flags, carrying banners and chanting: "There will be no Cup".
Other Brazilians protested on Twitter, saying "Fifa go home", in reference to football's world governing body. There were similar small protests in Rio de Janeiro and other cities.
"We are against the millions and millions of dollars being spent for the Cup," university student Leonardo Pelegrini dos Santos told the Associated Press news agency.
"It is money that should be invested in better health and education services and better transportation and housing."
Saturday's peaceful protest was marred by sporadic acts of vandalism which turned into clashes with the police.
Some demonstrators attacked an empty police car and tried to overturn it, while others torched a small car. They also burned tires and targeted banks and others businesses.
The Sao Paulo state Governor Geraldo Alckmin condemned the violence.
Fifteen people were also reported to have been detained at a protest near the World Cup stadium in Natal, a city in north-eastern Brazil.
Last year, more than a million people took to the street in dozens of Brazilian cities over poor public services, corruption and the high cost of the World Cup.
The wave of protests prompted Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to propose a referendum on political reform.
She also pledged to invest 50 billion reais ($25bn, £16bn) in public transport, one of the protesters' main grievances.
BMC's Tejay van Garderen, who began the day second overall, 10 seconds behind Froome, was involved in a crash and lost time on the Team Sky rider.
Orica-Scott's Esteban Chaves moves up to second, 11 seconds behind Froome.
Froome, 32, is aiming to become the third man to win the Vuelta and the Tour de France in the same year.
Van Garderen crashed when descending the day's final climb, on which Froome had defended himself from several Alberto Contador attacks.
At one point Van Garderen was almost two minutes behind Froome's group, but the American managed to reduce that gap, finishing only 17 seconds slower, despite suffering a second crash in the closing kilometres.
He is now in fourth place overall, 27 seconds behind Froome.
Spaniard David de la Cruz, who started the day in fifth, also lost 17 seconds on Froome, and he fell to sixth, with Italy's Vincenzo Nibali moving above him.
Poland's Marczynski was one of three breakaway riders contesting a sprint finish at the end of Thursday's 204.4km ride from Vila-real to Sagunt, in Valencia province.
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
The Lotto-Soudal rider's countryman Pawel Poljanski of Bora-Hansgrohe was second, with Spain's Enric Mas of Quick-Step Floors in third.
With just under 14km to go it appeared the breakaway was about to be reeled in and the lead group's fourth rider, Luis Leon Sanchez, rejoined the peloton with the split down to six seconds.
However, the three remaining riders managed to break clear once again, and Spaniard Sanchez eventually finished fourth, eight seconds off the pace.
Froome's group finished 26 seconds further back.
"The guys did another amazing job today from start to finish. They were all over that race and I've got them to thank for still being in this jersey," he said.
"Alberto [Contador] may have already lost time in the overall standings but I have to follow when he goes. He's still a danger and has shown just how strong and tenacious he is. He will fight all the way for the rest of this race I'm sure."
Friday's stage is a 207km ride from Lliria to Cuenca that takes in three category-three climbs.

It records when a user speaks to friends, receives emails, watches a movie and other smartphone actions.
In addition the Android app receives data from a new, small piece of wearable hardware called the Core that acts as an activity tracker.
The software then uses this information to try and determine if the user was walking, resting or in a vehicle.
It is likely to raise privacy issues coming so soon after revelations about how spy agencies have forced tech companies to hand over information stored about their users.
However, the Japanese firm attempted to play down the issue.
"Sony treats the security and privacy of our users' personal data with the utmost stringency and integrity, adhering to legalities and ensuring it remains protected under appropriate technological procedures," it told the BBC.
"Upon first sign-in to Lifelog app, we make it clear absolutely clear what data users are submitting, how it is being used and provide them with option of opting in or out before proceeding."
Sony did, however, acknowledge that younger users were more likely to be willing to let their activities be logged with the service than older ones.
The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Lifelog is Sony's take on what is termed "the quantified self" - the ability to better understand and change behaviours by gathering data about ourselves.
"Today's alternatives can log your sleep and steps," Jun Makino, a senior product manager at Sony told the BBC.
"But there's more to life. We want to help you rediscover the best memories from the past as well as make smarter decisions for the future."
The kinds of data collected by the app from Android phones include information about when and where:
Sony is also releasing an application programming interface (API) to allow other apps to share information.
The Core is a plastic device containing an accelerometer that is supposed to be worn around the clock. It will provide data about the user's movements, which can then be used to try to work out what they were doing and how many calories were burned.
Sony said its algorithms would be able to distinguish between whether the user was on a train, using a bicycle or resting.
The device also features LED lights and a vibration motor to alert the owner to notifications sent to their phone. A "life bookmark" button can also be pressed to highlight special moments on the timeline.
It will initially be sold with a waterproof wristband.
But in time Sony aims to release accessories letting it to be worn around the neck, in shoes or even attached to a tennis racket among other options.
The firm added it also envisaged information being gathered from its other products, including Smart TVs and PlayStation 4 games consoles, to build up a more detailed record.
Those who sign up to the app will be able to get information telling them how much time they spent carrying out different activities to help inform their choices.
"If you have not reached your daily goal perhaps you should take a walk rather than a taxi," Mr Makino gave as an example.
This is a similar to the idea behind other wearable activity trackers made by companies including Jawbone, Fitbit and Nike.
However, one wearable tech expert attending CES suggested that what was needed were more insights rather than just more information.
"The end goal for these companies is to provide actionable advice and not just data logging," said Daniel Matte from the tech consultancy Canalys.
"I don't think the average user frankly cares if, for example, they slept eight or nine hours. What they want to know is whether that was adequate and what they can do to sleep better, eat better etc.
"Creating change should be the primary goal these technologies are striving for."
Sony said it might also make use of the data gathered by the app to help it better understand how people used their phones and to spot bugs.
However, it said that it would make users' identifies anonymous before carrying out this analysis to protect their privacy.
North Wales Police said it would stop assisting police at the protest at Cuadrilla's site near Preston.
PCC Arfon Jones praised the decision but campaign group Backing Fracking said it was "disgraceful" given he opposes shale gas extraction.
Mr Jones said he was "one influence".
The force has had one sergeant and six constables at the site, where demonstrations have been taking place since January.
There have been between 50 and 80 officers at the site assisting Lancashire Constabulary every day, including officers from Cumbria, Merseyside and north Wales.
Mr Jones had tweeted: "No more @NWPolice officers will be going to facilitate Cuadrilla's business in Lancs. Let them pay for their own security. #capacity."
He said he had been an environmental campaigner before becoming a PCC and opposed fracking as he "considered it a danger in many respects but mainly because of potential pollution of water".
But Backing Fracking has described his actions as "cronyism".
A spokesman said: "It is disgraceful that Mr Jones thinks he can use his political appointment to try and downgrade the policing response to the daily fracking protests seen in Lancashire, especially given that he is opposed to shale gas extraction.
"That's the very definition of cronyism and an abuse of power.
"Not only that, just imagine the furore it would cause if this were being done in reverse - the proud people of north Wales would never stand for it if they thought that Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner was meddling in the affairs of their police force."
Responding on Tuesday, Mr Jones said his opposition to fracking may have been one influence on the force's decision.
"The operational decision of deploying resources to Lancashire Police is a matter for North Wales Police and not for me," he said.
"But I'm there to represent the views of the people in north Wales and I'm sure they wouldn't be very happy bearing in mind the demand on us during the summer months that we're deploying like that.
"There's also a question whether taxpayers' money should be used to provide security guards for corporate giants without any compensation.
"And the third point is whether Welsh police officers should be sent to police fracking protests when fracking is more or less illegal in their own country."
North Wales Police said it had decided to stop sending further reinforcements "due to high demands in north Wales over the holiday season".
Lancashire Constabulary declined to comment.
Infrastructure bosses said a combination of high tides and strong winds could cause disruption to those living in exposed coastal locations.
High tides are forecast for 22, 23 and 24 January and 20 and 21 February 2015.
Infrastructure minister Phil Gawne said homeowners should "remain vigilant" in coming months.
In particular those living in the seafront areas of Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey, Laxey and Port St Mary are being warned to "be prepared."
The Department of Infrastructure said it would deploy about 20,000 sandbags to mitigate the risk of flooding.
Mr Gawne said: "We will do whatever we can to provide assistance but people should take steps to protect their properties."
Sandbags can be collected free of charge from local amenity sites across the Isle of Man.
This year several areas including Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey, Laxey, Peel and Gansey experienced tidal flooding in January and February.
Needing to match Port Vale's result at Fleetwood to assure survival, Gillingham started brightly and Josh Parker fired over, while the Cobblers went close when Brendan Moloney's shot was deflected wide.
Gillingham then wasted a glorious chance to settle the nerves in the ninth minute when David Buchanan impeded Cody McDonald in the box, but David Cornell saved Josh Wright's ensuing spot-kick.
Cornell also turned Jake Hessenthaler's low drive around the opposite upright before comfortably dealing with Lee Martin's curling effort.
The Cobblers offered little in attack until the closing stages of the first half. Shaun McWilliams saw his fierce drive deflected over, while Marc Richards somehow managed to guide his far post header wide and Zander Diamond headed over from a corner.
Gillingham upped the tempo after the restart and Cornell denied Ryan Jackson, Parker's shot was deflected wide and Mark Byrne was just off target.
However, Gillingham's initial threat petered out and they were left relying on Port Vale not getting the result they needed, before it was confirmed the Valiants had also only managed a draw.

Mason, 25, clashed heads with Blues defender Gary Cahill 13 minutes into the Premier League match.
He was taken to St Mary's Hospital in London, where he had surgery.
"Ryan and his family have been extremely touched by the overwhelming support," added the statement.
"They would very much like to thank all of those who have posted such positive comments both on social media and in the press over the last 24 hours."
Hull added Mason would continue to be monitored at the hospital "over the coming days".
Tigers captain Michael Dawson, club doctor Mark Waller, head of medical Rob Price and club secretary Matt Wild visited Mason in hospital on Monday.
Cahill, Chelsea captain John Terry and assistant manager Steve Holland had visited on Sunday to check on Mason's well-being, and spent time with his family.
Mason, Hull's record signing, fractured his skull as he attempted to head the ball clear of his own box following a cross from Pedro.
He got to the ball a split second before Cahill, who was already committed to his attempted header, and the pair collided.
Both players spent a lengthy period receiving treatment, though Cahill was able to continue.
Mason joined Hull from Tottenham last August for a club-record undisclosed fee.
He has scored one goal in 16 Premier League appearances for the Tigers.
Prior to his move, he made 53 top-flight appearances for Tottenham, and had loan spells at Yeovil, Doncaster, Millwall, Lorient and Swindon.
Hull lost Sunday's game 2-0 as goals from Diego Costa and Cahill gave Chelsea a victory that took them eight points clear at the top.

When head trauma happens, doctors are obviously concerned about how much damage there might be to the brain.
Some skull fractures need little or no treatment and will heal by themselves with time. Others need urgent treatment.
Any bits of bone that have been pressed inwards can be removed and returned to their correct position. If necessary, metal wire or mesh may be used to reconnect the pieces.
Once the bone is back in place, it should heal.

Peter McCabe, chief executive of brain injury association Headway, said the reaction of the medical teams was "exemplary".
McCabe, who was at Stamford Bridge, added: "Headway has been critical of the way in which head injuries have been treated in many high-profile football incidents in recent years, but it is positive to see that lessons appear to have been learned."
It says it is the biggest investment in broadband infrastructure in the UK for more than a decade.
Virgin said the investment would also create 6,000 new jobs of which 1,000 would be apprenticeships.
Virgin Media currently has five million customers.
The company is already in the process of expanding its network to 110,000 homes across east London, Glasgow, Sunderland and Teesside.
Virgin Media said the additional £3bn in broadband investment would be worth £8bn in terms of stimulating UK economic activity.
However, the money will be spent on filling in gaps in its existing network rather than widening the network to rural areas, which critics say has long been neglected by communications companies such as Virgin and BT.
Speaking to the BBC, Virgin chief executive Tom Mockridge said it was BT's job to do more to bridge the so-called "digital divide".
Virgin Media chief executive Tom Mockridge compares the expansion of its broadband network to the building of the railways by the Victorians or the rollout of the motorways in the 20th Century.
That sounds just a touch hyperbolic, but this is indeed one of the biggest investments we've seen in the UK's internet infrastructure, made possible by the deep pockets of Virgin's owners, Liberty Global.
What the money will do is fill in the gaps left in the network when the old cable companies ran out of money in the 1990s. That will mean that streets in urban areas where BT's superfast broadband is the only game in town should now get a choice of supplier.
What it won't do is bring high-speed services to what's known as the final third - rural Britain, where it is hard to make the economics of laying fibre cables to every home add up.
That job is being left to BT - aided by public funds, mainly money set aside from the TV licence fee. BT, which is preparing to take over EE and become the dominant player in fixed and mobile broadband, may quietly welcome today's announcement.
A stronger Virgin Media network may make regulators less inclined to worry about its dominance.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think an investment of this size is unambiguously helping to close the digital divide. Everything can't happen at once so we are really focusing on the areas where we can bring ultra fast broadband as quickly as possible and as effectively as possible."
He also called on BT to do more to invest in improving existing infrastructure to help speed up internet services in the countryside.
The investment comes at Virgin Media announced a 2.3% increase in total revenues to £4.214bn for the year to the end of December compared with a year earlier.
Virgin said the increase in revenue was largely the result of increased cable subscription revenue, which grew 3% last year.
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust has told patient groups it is expecting to continue in that state all winter.
At this state of alert patient safety could be compromised, NHS England guidelines say.
The trust said its staff were "working hard" to give patients the emergency care they needed and give them a bed.
In a statement it said: "Our emergency departments are extremely busy with very high numbers of acutely unwell people.
"[This] is coupled with low numbers of patients who no longer need acute hospital care being discharged, and this inevitably impacts on the availability of beds."
The trust runs two acute hospitals, the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. It treats more than three quarters of a million patients each year.
One patient, Barry Salvage, said he had to sleep on a trolley in A&E all night and it made him feel "terrible".
When he asked a nurse for bed, he was told they did not have any.
David Liley of Healthwatch said patients were being sent home "as soon as they are ready", increasing pressure on support systems in the community, which were forced to "swing into action".
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS is at the highest level of alert - known as Opel 4
NHS England's Operational Pressures Escalation Levels (Opel) Framework aims to bring consistency nationally in times of pressure.
It means the trust:
At least three other trusts in Kent and Sussex were at the highest level of alert last week - Medway Foundation Trust, Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust and East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
Patricia Marquis of the Royal College of Nursing said its members were "at the end of their tether".
She said: "They have been working at these really high levels of intensity for weeks and weeks."
Last year, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust was placed in special measures after inspectors deemed it unsafe and poorly-led.
On Friday a spokesman said it was "making improvements" to help with the flow and discharge of patients.
He asked that people use A&E appropriately and considered "the many alternative services available".
The 26-year-old batsman has scored more than 5,000 first-class career runs, with 449 runs at an average of 44.90 in 13 County Championship innings since joining before the start of the season.

The Commons Education Committee's inquiry was launched after Ofsted found more than a third of schools were failing to provide age-appropriate SRE.
Committee chairman Graham Stuart MP said "young people have a right to information that will keep them safe".
The government said it would consider the findings carefully.
In 2013, Ofsted reported that personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), of which SRE is a part, required improvement in 40% of schools.
The MPs said: "This situation would not be tolerated in other subjects, and yet the government's strategy for improving PSHE is weak.
"There is mismatch between the priority that ministers claim they give to PSHE and the steps taken to improve its delivery in schools," they added.
In particular, they said, there was a lack of clarity on the status of the subject.
The committee said the subject should be given statutory status.
This call is echoed in a wide-ranging report from the Office of the Children's Commissioner, published on Tuesday.
Deputy Commissioner Sue Berelowitz said "age-appropriate relationships and sex education" should be made a statutory part of the school curriculum.
The report from the Commons committee noted primary schools were not required to provide sex-and-relationships education beyond the basic biology dictated by the national curriculum, while at secondary level the national curriculum required schools to cover sexually transmitted diseases with 14- to 16-year-olds.
It said academies and free schools (about half of schools) were not bound by the national curriculum, though all schools must have regard to government guidance from 2000 if they teach the subject.
The current position meant the relationships aspect of the subject may be particularly squeezed, the report said.
The committee said the subject's lack of statutory status meant it was too often sidelined, with teachers denied continuous professional training.
It recommended:
Mr Stuart said there was overwhelming demand from teachers, parents and young people for SRE to become compulsory.
"SRE forms an important part of any school's efforts to safeguard young people from abuse and is particularly needed to protect the most vulnerable children," he said.
"PSHE builds character and resilience and will help young people to live happy and healthy lives."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said high-quality PSHE teaching played a vital role in developing young people's personal and emotional wellbeing, "supporting them to make informed choices and stay safe".
"That's why we are working with schools and experts to ensure the PSHE and relationships education that young people receive is appropriate and of a high standard," she said.
"We have already set up a new expert subject group on PSHE to identify key areas where teachers need further support."
However Sarah Carter, from the campaign group, the Family Education Trust believes many parents would be "horrified" by the materials used to teach sex education in primary school.
"It is not often age appropriate," she says. "Children develop at different ages, they have different levels of maturity.
"It would be our recommendation that parents always check what's being taught."
Lucy Emmerson, co-ordinator of the Sex Education Forum, said sex education was neglected in too many schools and urged all political parties to make a manifesto commitment to change the law to make the subject statutory.
PSHE Association chief executive Joe Hayman said statutory status for the subject would be "a huge step forward".
Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt said Labour would make age-appropriate sex and relationship education compulsory in all state schools.
"Children and young people should be taught the importance of respect and healthy relationships and to understand the role of the family - in all its forms," said Mr Hunt.
For almost the entire film, she is the only woman on screen.
"It's something you don't see in cinema," says the British actress. "Even though there are a lot of women in law enforcement, we just don't make films about them."
Blunt says her character, Arizona FBI agent Kate Macer, is the film's moral compass.
At the beginning of Sicario - which in Mexico means hit-man - Kate uncovers a horrifying "house of death" connected to a Mexican drug cartel. She is then recruited to a covert black-ops mission headed by mysterious Colombian Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) and special agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin).
Blunt had no back story to work on for Kate "except that she just got a divorce and she needs a new bra", so she fleshed out the role by talking to real-life female FBI agents.
"I based the character on one in particular who had an inner steeliness," she says. "She spoke very softly and she was quite shy and yet she worked on a kidnap response team.
"It was a very physical job. She worked with these big men on the Swat team and was unfazed by it."
While promoting Sicario at last month's Toronto film festival, Blunt revealed a potential backer had wanted screenwriter Taylor Sheridan to rewrite the lead character as a man in order to attract further investment.
Had that shocked her? "Sadly, I'm not surprised," she says. "But I'm thrilled by Taylor's reaction, which was to consistently walk out of those rooms. And that's why it took him a while to get the film made.
"I don't think it's a blip. It happens a lot. Numbers are crunched on films that have done well. When you do that, you are making films that are derivative of something else."
But she remains optimistic that the Hollywood landscape might be changing, citing recent the performances by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road and Rebecca Ferguson in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
Blunt says: "There are a lot of films that are coming out that embrace stronger roles for women - more complicated roles, not just about being strong or having a gun. That's so boring."
Blunt and Ferguson are about to work together on the film adaptation of the bestselling book The Girl on the Train.
Blunt will play the girl of the title - an alcoholic divorcee who fantasises about a couple she sees from her train. The film, directed by The Help's Tate Taylor, is set for release in 2016.
"I'm about to play a blackout drunk," says Blunt, "and what I think readers have responded to with that book - and hopefully the film audience will too - is less the thriller aspect of it but the portrayal of these three incredibly damaged women, which I think is more interesting to people."
Last year, Blunt's big screen appearances included musical Into the Woods and sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow.
She is an actress who bounces comfortably between genres. She came to international attention opposite Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, and her other film roles include The Adjustment Bureau, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Looper. She played the title role in The Young Victoria.
Her acting career started on stage, with Blunt making her West End debut in 2001 opposite Dame Judi Dench in The Royal Family. Although she hasn't been on stage for more than a decade, Blunt is keen to "do a new play" in the US, where she recently became a citizen.
Is there any genre that has eluded her? "I haven't done a Western... but Sicario... is kind of a Western. I try not to base my ambitions on genre or type of movie. I try not to strategise the next move, The roles I take on are the ones I'm surprised by and challenged by."
Sicario's Kate Macer is just such a role. Blunt says director Denis Villeneuve's film will stay with people.
"That's so thrilling to me," she says. "Often people leave a cinema and they don't discuss a film because they've seen something derivative. I think this will be a film people will discuss for days afterwards."
Sicario is released in the UK on 8 October.
Able Seaman Ryan Donovan, 23, shot Lt Cdr Ian Molyneux, 36, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, at close range on HMS Astute in Southampton.
He had been on a two-day drinking binge before the attack in April 2011.
Recording a narrative verdict, Coroner Keith Wiseman said he would recommend that random breath testing for Royal Navy personnel be implemented.
Donovan was jailed for life in September 2011 with a minimum term of 25 years after pleading guilty at Winchester Crown Court to the murder of the father-of-four.
The 23-year-old, of Hillside Road, also admitted the attempted murders of Lt Cdr Hodge, 45, Petty Officer Christopher Brown, 36, and Chief Petty Officer David McCoy, 37.
Mr Wiseman said it was "a miracle" no-one else had died during the gun rampage during a civic visit by Southampton's mayor and also schoolchildren who had just left when Donovan started firing.
He said a culture of drinking to excess had to stop, and a system of alcohol testing prior to duty should be introduced.
The inquest at Southampton Civic Centre heard Donovan had drunk more than 20 pints of cider and lager over two days prior to the attack.
He had also drunk vodka and cocktails before being put on guard duty with a gun while more than three times above the alcohol limit for driving.
Tests revealed Donovan's blood would have contained 139mg of alcohol per 100ml - 76% above the drink-drive limit.
Police investigating the murder were so concerned about binge drinking by the crew while ashore, that the senior officer wrote to Hampshire Constabulary Chief Constable Alex Marshall to highlight the issue and it was passed to military authorities.
Lt Cdr Molyneux suffered a single gunshot wound to the top of his head, six inches above his right ear, fired from 5cm away.
Home Office pathologist Dr Basil Purdue said the position in which he was found, lying face down on the floor, was consistent with him rushing forward to tackle the gunman.
Lt Cdr Molyneux received a posthumous George Medal for his actions.
The Royal Navy has since tightened its rules on alcohol consumption before duty.
At the time sailors were allowed 10 units in the previous 24-hours with no alcohol in the 10 hours before duty. This has now been changed to five units.
Neighbours saw smoke coming from the house on Lowes Hill in Ripley, Derbyshire, just before 10:30 GMT.
An air ambulance was called and the man, described as elderly, was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
Fire officers said the most likely cause of the blaze was coals falling out of an unguarded fire.
Andy Parker, who was renovating a house nearby, said: "There was smoke, the ambulance, fire engines and then the firefighters got the breathing apparatus on and went in. Very dramatic.
"We were told to keep inside as there was a small risk of explosion and a neighbour said it was a fire in the kitchen."
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said it would be offering extra fire safety advice to people living in the area.
The high court in Bihar said the ban was "illegal, impractical and unconstitutional".
The ban, which was imposed in April, was Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's campaign promise during last year's assembly elections.
It was supported by most women because they link drinking by men with domestic violence, harassment and poverty.
Mr Kumar had claimed the ban would usher in "social change" in Bihar.
But critics described the ban as draconian with punishments for even family members of anybody caught consuming or possessing liquor.
Some 13,000 people have been arrested in Bihar for defying the ban since 5 April.
In August, 13 people in one Bihar village died after drinking some lethal home-brewed hooch during Independence Day celebrations.
Alcohol is also completely banned in the western state of Gujarat while the southern state of Kerala and some other Indian states have imposed a partial ban.
The US actor will be the show's first non-British host in its 39-year history.
"Matt's a lifelong fellow petrolhead and I'm thrilled he's joining Top Gear," said Chris Evans of his new on-screen colleague.
Additional Top Gear cast members will be confirmed shortly, the BBC said.
"As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I'm honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show's new chapter," said LeBlanc. "What a thrill!"
Joey's motoring experience not taken into account
The 48-year-old is best known for his role as Joey Tribbiani in Friends and has more recently been seen, as himself, in BBC Two sitcom Episodes.
"Acting out our craziest car notions on screen is a dream job and I know we'll both be debating some epic road trip ideas," continued Evans in a statement.
"We can't wait to share what we've been up to on screen later this year."
LeBlanc has twice appeared on Top Gear on its popular "star in a reasonably priced car" segment and holds the record for the fastest ever celebrity lap.
Alan Tyler, the BBC's acting controller for entertainment commissioning, called LeBlanc "a class act and a brilliant signing".
Evans was named as Top Gear's new host last year after the BBC opted not to renew Jeremy Clarkson's contract in the wake of his much-publicised "fracas" with a Top Gear producer.
Clarkson subsequently signed up with streaming service Amazon Prime to present a new motoring show with Richard Hammond and James May, his former Top Gear co-presenters.
Tabloid editor turned broadcaster Piers Morgan is among those to have welcomed LeBlanc's appointment, calling him "a brilliant choice [with] huge global recognition" on Twitter.
LeBlanc himself hinted at his new role on Wednesday, telling his Twitter followers he had "very cool news coming in the next day or so".
Last year the actor presented Top Gear: The Races, a stand-alone spin-off made for BBC Store, the corporation's digital download service.
According to the BBC, he will join production on the new series of Top Gear "immediately".
Stephen Mangan, LeBlanc's co-star on Episodes, responded to the news by suggesting he is "The Stig" in the picture released with the BBC's press release.
"Still annoyed they made me wear that helmet," the British actor joked on Twitter.
Last year LeBlanc revealed he had "one more season of Episodes to shoot.... starting in April".
The actor won a Golden Globe in 2013 for his role in the sitcom, a co-production with Showtime, in which he plays an exaggerated version of himself for comic effect.
Steve Berry, who co-presented Top Gear in the 1990s, told BBC News that LeBlanc was "an odd choice", despite having "international recognition".
"It does seem odd that the BBC will use an actor in a factual entertainment show," he said, suggesting that the strength of the show's most recent line-up lay in the fact that they were "all experienced motoring journalists".
"When Jeremy Clarkson gives you an opinion you can respect it," he went on. "When an actor says that line, does it have that authority?"
Doctors at a Brisbane hospital are refusing to discharge the girl, Asha, who is expected to be sent back to the Australian-run detention centre.
The daughter of asylum-seeker parents suffered serious burns at the camp.
Former immigration minister Scott Morrison said the policy would continue "absolutely" and "completely."
The government says its controversial offshore detention policy is necessary, and aimed at preventing asylum seekers trying to reach Australia on unseaworthy boats.
Australia's High Court upheld Australia's asylum policy as legal under the country's constitution in a decision handed down at the beginning of February.
Doctors at Brisbane's Lady Cilento Children's Hospital say they won't release Asha unless a "suitable home environment is identified".
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said no decision would be made to risk the "health or security of any individual".
"It is a difficult job, because we have to do it in a way that gives no incentive to the people smugglers," Mr Turnbull said.
The decisive moment came midway through the first half, as Sean Maguire nodded into the path of Hugill, who chested down before firing in.
Reading goalkeeper Vito Mannone made saves from Maguire, Tom Barkhuizen and Stephy Mavididi to keep his side in it.
The Royals went closest when Joseph Mendes' header from a free-kick was saved by Chris Maxwell.
Having already gone a goal down, Reading were also forced into two substitutions before half-time with midfielders John Swift and Liam Kelly limping off and replaced by George Evans and Joseph Mendes.
And the latter almost made an instant impact, getting his head to Pelle Clement's free-kick only for Preston keeper Maxwell to hold it.
The home side, though, were again looking more likely to score after the break, but Mannone's saves and some determined defending from Liam Moore gave Reading hope.
However, their attacking threat was summed up by efforts from debutant Leandro Bacuna and Evans, who both cleared the bar.
Preston manager Alex Neil:
"I'm extremely satisfied. I thought we were the better side and created numerous opportunities. The only disappointment is that it finished 1-0.
"It was an incredible effort from the lads. I thought they were top, top drawer.
"We worked extremely hard, our shape was excellent and we had a lot of individual great performances."
Reading boss Jaap Stam:
"If you play against a side like Preston you have to bring everything to the game including physique, pace, aggressiveness.
"Hopefully you can play your own game. We didn't get what we expected from it.
"I am not happy in how we played and what we did. We gave a lot of balls away and that brings them into the game to create opportunities."

Jones, whose side can still qualify for the last eight of this year's tournament, added that he would discuss the England role if it was available.
"There are definitely issues in the English game," Jones, who was Australia coach when England beat them in the final 12 years ago, told BBC Sport.
"England teams usually have a strong set-piece, a strong defence."
Jones' Japan side caused the shock of the World Cup so far when they beat two-time champions South Africa in their opening match of the tournament.
His appointment as head coach of South African Super Rugby side Stormers was confirmed shortly after he humbled the Springboks - but he says he would consider an approach from the Rugby Football Union if it decides to replace current England head coach Stuart Lancaster.
"You speak to anyone," the Australian said.
"I have not indicated that I want to coach England or desire the job, but certainly if the RFU came knocking at the door I would chat to them."
On England's struggles, he added: "Clive Woodward's side in 2003 was built around a very strong set-piece and defence.
"Over the six years Woodward had them, they built a very good all-round attacking game. That is the basis for every successful international team."
Jones also believes captain Chris Robshaw does not justify his place in the number seven shirt.
"I just don't think that Robshaw is an open-side flanker, he is more a six and a half," he said.
"If you can't find a proper open-side flanker that is playing in England - which seems to be the case - then there has to be some sort of structural problem."
Leicester coach and former England hooker Richard Cockerill agrees that something needs to change in the wake of a World Cup campaign that ended in the Pool stages after defeats to Wales and Australia.
"Clearly the one thing you can't do is nothing, because it's not worked for whatever reason," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I've seen it at Leicester myself. Last year we had trouble in getting the message across, so I made changes.
"There were people who left the club who were my friends and who I had worked with for a long time.
"Sometimes you have to make tough professional calls."
The Cyberspace Administration said people had been using the three platforms to spread terror-related material, rumours and obscenities.
The breaches "jeopardised national security," the administration said.
China's authorities heavily censor the internet, routinely blocking content or search terms they consider sensitive.
Weibo is a Twitter-like microblogging site, WeChat is an instant messaging mobile app and Baidu Tieba is a popular discussion forum. They are all reported to have hundreds of millions of active users.
China's Cyberspace Administration accused internet users of "spreading violence, terror, false rumours, pornography and other hazards to national security, public safety, social order" on the three platforms.
Baidu expressed "regret" and said it would "actively co-operate with government departments" and "increase the intensity of auditing", Reuters reported.
There was no immediate comment from Tencent, which owns WeChat, or Weibo.
John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing
Weibo, WeChat and Baidu's Tieba are among the most powerful social media platforms in the world, each attracting hundreds of millions of users in China.
In China, posts are easily traceable through registered phone numbers and most people already know well the topics and opinions to steer clear of.
But despite the tight surveillance and censorship, dissent still bubbles away and, ahead of a highly sensitive Communist Party Congress this autumn, the authorities are tightening those controls further.
The move to place the three platforms under investigation will almost certainly prompt the sites' owners to do even more to police their own content.
Last month 60 popular celebrity gossip sites were closed overnight for corrupting "core socialist values," and a new regulation released in May requires all online news portals to be managed by Communist Party-sanctioned editorial staff.
In 2016, watchdog Freedom House ranked China as "the world's worst abuser of internet freedom", adding that "harsh punishments for expression and a deteriorating legal environment are significantly undermining civil society activism on the internet".
China blocks foreign social media sites and apps, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Search engines like Google are blocked, and access to many foreign media outlets is restricted too.
It is also clamping down on users who try to get around the restrictions, by tightening regulations on Virtual Private Networks.
Problems were identified at Drumpellier Lodge, at Bargeddie in North Lanarkshire, by the Care Inspectorate.
Its owners, Clancare Limited, have been ordered to improve staffing levels and the standard of care to residents.
The Care Inspectorate said it would "not hesitate to take further action" if further checks found no progress on the problems identified.
A Care Inspectorate spokesman said: "We have clearly set out the areas which require swift improvement at Drumpellier Lodge so that the care provided to residents reaches a standard that they have a right to expect.
"We will inspect this service again soon to check on progress and to ensure that improvements have been made.
"If we are not satisfied that sufficient progress is being made quickly, we will not hesitate to take further action."
The Care Inspectorate said it had served a formal improvement notice on Drumpellier Lodge.
The notice states that it must demonstrate that it is making "proper provision for the health, welfare and safety of service users".
It calls for "a written personal plan for each resident" which is reviewed "at least every six months".
Residents must have access to "sufficient meaningful activities" and have "access to outdoor space and events".
The care home has also been told to review staffing levels to make sure residents are properly cared for and make sure that the staffing schedule is followed.
The Care Inspectorate previously called for improvements at Drumpellier Lodge after finding failings in 2014.
Police have arrested a man for suspected arson. They said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive.
Media reports said a man had tried to throw a petrol bomb inside the carriage during evening rush hour.
Social media users have been sharing a video showing a man lying on the platform engulfed in flames, as other passengers try to douse the fire.
The train was travelling from Admiralty to Tsim Sha Tsui station. Two of the injured are said to be in a critical condition.
The South China Morning Post reported that a man had shouted "burn you to death" before lighting a petrol bomb but then caught on fire himself.
Police District Commander Kwok Pak-chung said a 60-year-old man had been arrested.
"According to investigation up until now, we believe this incident was related to the personal issues of one person, an independent incident. No information at this point shows that it was an act of terror or an attack targeting public transportation," he said.
Underground employees later extinguished the blaze.
Hong Kong's RTHK broadcaster showed people in a smoke-filled train carriage, describing the situation as "chaotic".
Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying called for a full investigation.

Hong Kong's transportation network is known for its safety and efficiency, and such incidents are rare.
A woman suffered leg fractures and was airlifted to hospital after the crash at about 15:45 BST.
Two carriages came off the track as the train - carrying 155 passengers - was coming into the park's main square, a spokesperson said.
Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said five people, described as "walking wounded", were treated at the scene of the accident.
The train's rear carriage went on to its side and the other remained upright, leaving the other carriages on the track.
Lisa Mowe from Coventry, who was on the train with her 15-year-old son Hadley and his friend Jason Thomas, said it was "a horrible experience".
"People on the train were helping others to safety," she said.
Hadley Mowe said: "It was quite scary as people were very distressed.
"Jason and I helped get people out of the carriages by pushing up the train which had fallen off the rails.
"Everyone worked together to help each other. I was just relived that my family were OK."
Mrs Mowe's mother and her husband Derek were also on the train and helped a little boy out of the carriage which came off.
She said she believed a young girl had got her leg trapped and a woman was knocked unconscious in the incident.
The injured woman was flown to Bath Royal United Hospital, a fire service spokeswoman said.
Insp Alan Webb of Wiltshire Police said Longleat staff acted "in a highly professional way" and were "very efficient in dealing with the emergency services".
The Health and Safety Executive has been informed and a meeting with police has been scheduled for Thursday, Insp Webb confirmed.
In a statement, the park said: "Staff are currently undertaking a thorough investigation into what caused the incident and the railway will remain closed during this time."
The hosts, 18-12 up at half-time, ran in six tries after the break, including a second for Gene Ormsby, two from Daryl Clark and Kurt Gidley's score.
Warrington knocked Hull FC off top spot thanks to a better points difference.
The loss of Zak Hardaker with a shoulder problem was another blow for defending champions Leeds, who have now gone six matches without a win.
Brian McDermott's side have not won at the Halliwell Jones Stadium since their historic play-off semi final victory in 2011 and, despite a promising opening quarter, were never in the game.
They made a flying start through Jimmy Keinhorst's score but were put under immense pressure by the home team, who scored three tries of their own.
Returning playmaker Chris Sandow was at the heart of their efforts, notably supplying Tom Lineham with a beautifully weighted kick for his try.
The visitors showed character to drag the game back to six points at the break but the loss of Hardaker shortly before half-time compounded their considerable injury problems in 2016.
After the break Warrington flexed their muscles with 34 points, but there was also an ugly punch-up between Ashton Sims and Brad Singleton that will likely see both facing a suspension.
Warrington Wolves: Ratchford, Ormsby, Evans, Atkins, Lineham, Gidley, Sandow, Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Westwood, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, King, Jullien, Bailey.
Leeds Rhinos: Hardaker, Golding, Watkins, Keinhorst, Handley, Sutcliffe, McGuire, Galloway, Burrow, Singleton, Cuthbertson, Ferres, Delaney.
Replacements: Jones-Buchanan, Garbutt, Achurch, Lilley.

Four Eggs on a Plate was a gift to the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, an aristocrat renowned for her beauty and love of chickens.
She kept the birds on her estate and would take Freud eggs whenever she visited London, leaving them on his doorstep if he was not in.
The work has been described as a "token of a lifetime of shared memories".
Freud, whose family moved to St John's Wood, north London, when he was a child, often visited the Duchess Deborah Cavendish and her husband at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
Oliver Barker, from Sotheby's which is auctioning the painting on 1 July, said: "We see Freud's tremendous virtuosity as a painter, transforming a simple subject into a work of extraordinary power - and we see the portrait of a friendship between an artist and a duchess."
The Dowager led a colourful life, becoming friends with John F Kennedy, exchanging letters with Evelyn Waugh and growing close to the royals.
Freud's painting will be sold in the blue box it has been kept in along with an oil rag and note in the Dowager's hand which reads: "Box & rag he uses in his studio containing the painting of 4 eggs given me by Lucian Freud autumn 2002, DD".
Andrew Haigh replaces John Atkinson, who said he was standing down as the workload had increased alongside the party's "success and profile".
UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill said the change would have no impact on the party as Mr Haigh had already been the deputy national organiser.
Both Mr Haigh and Mr Atkinson are standing for UKIP at the poll in May.
Mr Atkinson is fighting Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire alongside Delyth Evans (Labour), Simon Hart (Conservative), Selwyn Runnett (Liberal Democrat), Gary Tapley (Green Party) and Elwyn Williams (Plaid Cymru).
Mr Haigh will contest Aberconwy with Victor Babu (Liberal Democrat), Guto Bebb (Conservative), Petra Haig (Green Party), Dafydd Meurig (Plaid Cymru) and Mary Wimbury (Labour).
George Osborne wants the BBC to have "a strong future" but told the Andrew Marr Show that the corporation should make a "contribution" towards the deficit.
The Sunday Times reported the move will cost the BBC £650m.
It is also understood the BBC and government are in talks over charging for use of the iPlayer.
This could recoup some of the cost of funding free licences for over-75s.
It would involve changing the law so that people who watch TV via the iPlayer and other online catch-up services would have to have a TV licence.
Currently the licence fee does not cover these digital services.
A BBC spokeswoman said it would not comment.
The Conservatives promised in their election manifesto to continue to allow over-75s to receive free TV licences along with other pensioner benefits.
But with the government pledge to make £12bn of welfare savings, it is understood to have the BBC in its sights to help with the nation's finances.
Mr Osborne dismissed the notion that the BBC would have to axe major channels or radio stations if it took on the cost of free licences for the elderly.
"I remember five years ago doing a deal with the BBC... where it took on £500m worth of responsibilities including things like the BBC World Service," he told Andrew Marr.
"I was told at the time by people: 'They're going to shut down BBC Two, they're going to close Radio 4'. They always seem to pick the juiciest fruits on the tree.
"I would say the BBC is a well-run organisation under Tony Hall, I'm absolutely sure they can make a contribution. But I want the BBC to have a strong future."
The chancellor also said the BBC website needed to be looked at "very carefully", highlighting it as an area which could be pruned back.
Commenting on the likelihood of national newspapers moving purely online in the next decade, he said: "You wouldn't want the BBC to crowd out national newspapers."
The chancellor then queried the BBC website carrying "features and cooking recipes", saying: "Effectively the BBC website becomes the national newspaper as well as the national broadcaster."
He added: "If you look at the BBC website it's a good product but it is becoming a bit more imperial in its ambitions."
Hailing "fantastic programmes like Strictly", he said the BBC should continue to produce "popular" shows "people want to watch".
He described the BBC as "a really important national institution and a fantastic broadcaster that produces some of the best television and radio in the world".
He said the government wanted to give it "a sustainable future in an age where the technology is changing, where there are lots of other broadcasters out there".
Last week it was announced the BBC is to cut 1,000 jobs because of a £150m budget gap in its licence fee income.
Lord Hall said the shortfall had been caused by an unexpected increase in the number of households saying they do not watch live TV, using catch-up services instead.
The BBC has to renegotiate Charter Renewal with the government in 2016, in which the corporation is told how much it will receive through the licence fee.
The online effort was started by "fellow trucker" Dave Duncan, from Otley, West Yorkshire, in support of Lukasz Urban's relatives.
More than 10,000 people have donated to the fund since it was launched last week.
Mr Duncan said he had been "overwhelmed" by people's generosity.
Polish national Mr Urban was found dead in the passenger seat of his lorry after it smashed into Berlin's Breitscheidplatz market on 19 December, killing 12 people.
Identified attacker Anis Amri, a Tunisian, was shot dead by Italian police on 23 December in the city of Milan after a Europe-wide manhunt.
Mr Duncan said he had been shocked by what happened and had wanted to reach out to Mr Urban's family.
Writing on his GoFundMe page, Mr Duncan said he had received an email from Mr Urban's wife.
"She is extremely grateful for what you have all done for her and her family," he wrote.
He added: "Hopefully all your kind and generous donations will get to Lukasz's wife sooner rather than later."
Mr Duncan said he had also contacted the Polish Embassy asking for their help in getting the funds raised to the family.
The Germany-born 22-year-old made 63 appearances for Worcester Warriors, before agreeing a move to Kingsholm in February 2013.
Kvesic featured twice in England's Test series against Argentina last year and was also part of their tour of New Zealand this summer.
He has now played 17 games for the Cherry and Whites, including five so far this season.
"It's nice to get it sorted this early in the season," Kvesic told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"It allows me to focus on the rest of the year and it's really exciting times for me.
"I came here hoping I could learn and I feel like I have in the last year.
"This year has been about taking more on myself and going out every week to give the best performances I can."
Stourhead in Wiltshire is the South West's most visited trust property, while the pantheon across the lake is one of its most important features.
According to the trust the listed building has a leaking roof and cracked steps and is in urgent need of repairs.
Mike MacCormack, from the trust, said Stourhead's "iconic views would not be the same if the pantheon wasn't there".
Modelled on the pantheon in Rome, by architect Henry Flitcroft, it was carefully placed in the landscape along with 20 other buildings and structures. The last time work was carried out on the pantheon was in the 1980s when its dome and interior was restored.
Now cash from the Sita Trust, a charitable organisation which distributes donations from the waste management firm Sita UK, will be used to repair the building.
The Scotland international's third goal of the season was a well-worked effort from a James Keatings corner early in the second half.
Neil Lennon's men squandered a handful of chances at Palmerston.
Queens rarely troubled the visitors' defence as Hibs extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Championship to eight points.
In wet conditions Hibs dominated possession in the early period and could easily have been in front with a bit more composure in front of goal.
Grant Holt fired an awkward bouncing ball over from 10 yards after latching on to a David Gray headed knock-down.
Keatings turned well on the edge of the box before curling a 20-yard strike inches over, then it was the turn of Andrew Shinnie, who ended a powerful run with a right-foot shot that went wide.
Holt became angered by team-mate Jason Cummings as Hibs looked for a breakthrough. The veteran striker was in the process of trying to get his head to a McGinn cross when Cummings tried an acrobatic overhead kick, almost decapitating his fellow striker with his boot as he attempted to connect with the ball.
Queens failed to threaten at the other end with Ross Laidlaw in the Hibs goal only tested once in the first half, having to cut out a cross from Jordan Marshall.
Hibs' goal appeared to come straight off the training ground. Keatings' delivery from the right picked out McGinn arriving late into the box and his left-foot volley took a deflection as it landed in the back of the net.
Within a minute Queens came close to an equaliser when Joe Thomson's shot had to be turned round the right-hand post by Laidlaw.
Another Keatings set-piece delivery, this time from a free-kick, almost produced a second when Holt, with the deftest of flicks, steered the ball wide.
Stephen Dobbie had a chance to level but the Queens top scorer blasted over from the edge of the box.
And Hibs did enough to secure their fifth successive win in all competitions.
Queen of the South manager Gary Naysmith: "The players gave me everything they've got in terms of energy and commitment.
"We just switched off for 15 seconds at the corner and didn't see John McGinn coming in late, even though we had everybody back, but that's what's cost us the game.
"Hibs had more of the possession and probably controlled the game - we expected that. Just after they scored we had a great chance when their keeper made a fantastic save from Joe Thomson's shot and I thought for the last 25 minutes we gave as good as we got."
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "I thought we were excellent and the scoreline could have been a bit more in our favour.
"For long periods I thought we controlled the game, probably didn't penetrate as we would have liked first half, but in the second half we had a really good spell for about 25 minutes. Obviously, we got the goal and their goalkeeper made a couple of fantastic saves to keep them in it.
"John McGinn was exceptional and deserved his goal. He was the one player even in the first half trying to thread balls through and cut Queens open.
"We've only 19 fit players today and I would like to get at least one more player in certainly to bolster us."
Match ends, Queen of the South 0, Hibernian 1.

Great crested newts are protected by law so the discovery delayed the start of the £14m project at Aykley Heads.
The force had to apply to Natural England for a wildlife licence, which has now been granted.
A newt-proof fence will be put in place and the newt colony will be transferred to a specially-created habitat nearby.
This will feature grassland and mounds of logs for refuge and hibernation.
Great crested newts became a European Protected Species following a dramatic decline in their population across Europe.
This means it is an offence to capture, kill or disturb them, as well as damage or destroy their breeding sites or resting places without an appropriate licence.
Adrian Vass from Natural England said: "This licence represents a significant step forward for both Durham constabulary and one of our most cherished native species.
"As well as providing a modern base for the police, the project will create a bigger, better habitat for great crested newts."
A Durham Police spokesman described the move forward as "excellent news".
Lorries carrying livestock are expected at the port at about 22:00 BST, Kent Action Against Live Exports (Kaale) said.
Live animal exports were banned in 2012 after the deaths of more than 40 sheep. The ban by Thanet District Council was later overturned by the High Court.
Kaale said: "We've been told there will be four of five lorries."
Two sheep drowned at Ramsgate in September 2012, and 44 had to be destroyed as they were sick and lame.
The animals were put down after the lorry carrying them was stopped at Ramsgate by animal health inspectors.
Thomas Lomas, director of Kent company Channel Livestock, admitted transporting animals in a way likely to cause undue suffering and in February was given a suspended prison sentence.
In a separate accident, a loading area floor collapsed while the sheep were taken off the lorry, which was carrying 548 animals.
Six fell in the water, with four being rescued by RSPCA officers while two animals drowned.
Isabel Gayther, 21, was last seen at about 11:30 GMT on Christmas Eve.
Posts on her Facebook account in response to media coverage state she is "not missing" and has not come to harm.
The Met, which earlier said it was "concerned" for Miss Gayther, said it was aware of the messages but had not been able to speak to her.
A spokesman said an investigation continued, "with the aim of establishing that she is safe and well".
Miss Gayther lives in halls of residence in New Cross, south-east London.
She also has family in Oxford.
The Brunel Camping Carriages site in Dawlish Warren, Devon, exceeded the guide price of £125,000 - £175,000.
The auction was held in St Mellion, Cornwall. The site closed at the end of last summer after 50 years.

The party was completely wiped out in 2009, even with traditional pockets of support in places like Exeter and Bristol.
Its lead candidate this time round is Clare Moody, a trades unionist who was also in Gordon Brown's Number 10 policy unit in the run-up to the last European Elections.
Also looking for gains will be the UK Independence Party which already has a handful of councillors across the region's county and unitary authorities, as well as two MEPs after a strong 2009 performance.
South West information
The party has tried to increase its visible presence by opening offices in busy shopping streets in areas like Christchurch and Dorchester in Dorset.
The Conservatives, which topped the 2009 poll in 33 of the 37 council areas winning them three MEPs, have brought a touch of sporting celebrity to the contest with Olympic gold medal-winning rower James Cracknell bidding to become an MEP.
What all the candidates will need to address is concerns about farming, which is still a significant sector in the region's economy, and all parties have spoken of the need for changes to the Common Agricultural Policy and the system of farm subsidies.
Fishermen too have direct interest in these elections, largely due to the issue of "discards" - the practice of trawlers having to throw back fish into the sea if they exceed their quotas.
The Liberal Democrats failed to top the poll anywhere in 2009 but received 20% or more of the vote in seven areas and picked up one seat.
The best Green performances were in Bristol (16%), Stroud (16%), Bath and NE Somerset (14%) and South Hams (14%).
Ed Pratt, 19, left his home in Curry Rivel, near Taunton, in March to begin the 18,000-mile (29,000 km) challenge in aid of the School In A Bag charity.
He has so far biked across France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria and into Turkey.
He said it felt "amazing" to arrive in Istanbul after three months.
"I can't wait to start making some more progress into Turkey and excited to reveal what the second continent of this amazing tour has to offer."
The remainder of his route includes China, south-east Asia, Australia and the United States.
He will then sail over the Atlantic before cycling through Portugal and Spain, the southern coast of France and back to England.
He expects the entire journey to take about 18 months.
The unicycle enthusiast, who is pedalling a 36-inch Nimbus Oracle unicycle, said he wanted to thank "all the Europeans that hosted me, filled up my water bottles, fed me, fixed the unicycle, bought me beer, cheered as I rode past and wrote kind words of encouragement through messages and comments".
Mr Pratt first learned how to unicycle two years ago and set up a unicycle club at his former school, Wellington School, and completed the 140-mile C2C route.
The 26-year-old former Wales Under-21 international and Bournemouth defender has been with National League Eastleigh since an initial loan spell in 2015.
A right-back who can also play at centre-half, he has started 63 league games for the Spitfires.
Eastleigh have said they have received a "club record transfer fee" for the deal after a release clause was met.
Rovers have not disclosed the length of contract that Partington has signed and he is available for Saturday's game against Fleetwood.

It comes after Pearson accepted a Football Association charge following an incident with a supporter in City's 3-1 Premier League loss to Liverpool.
The 51-year-old was called arrogant by the chairman of a Leicester supporters group after he refused to apologise.
He can appeal against the decision and the sanction will not come into effect until the end of the appeal period.
Pearson declined to reveal what was said during the altercation with the supporter, but said he felt it necessary to protect his players and himself from abuse.
He was also warned about his future conduct by an Independent Regulatory Commission panel.
Pearson has been manager of Leicester since November 2011 and guided them to the Championship title last season.
However, they have struggled in 2014-15, are bottom of the Premier League table and have not won a game since beating Manchester United 5-3 on 21 September.
The James Andrews watercolour was commissioned by the novelist's nephew in 1869 and a version will appear on the new £10 note from 2017.
Dr Gabriel Heaton of auction house Sotheby's said the painting had been "crucial in transforming her from a novelist into a national figure".
Sotheby's said it was bought by an anonymous private collector.
The Jane Austen House Museum in Chawton, Hampshire, said it did not bid because it could not raise the funds so soon after buying a ring that belonged to the author for £149,000 in September.
The painting had a pre-sale estimate of £150,000-£200,000.
The Reverend James Edward Austen-Leigh, Austen's nephew, asked artist James Andrews to create the painting for a biography.
It was based on the only confirmed portrait of Austen made before her death in 1817 - a sketch by her sister Cassandra, which is in the National Portrait Gallery.
He felt the sketch of his aunt did not do her justice, and used Andrews' painting for his book Memoir of Jane Austen.
Dr Heaton called the painting the "most important likeness of Jane Austen ever likely to appear on the open market".
"Seeing the most famous image of Jane Austen, for the first time, in a domestic sitting room was an astonishing experience," he said.
"This delicate watercolour is so much more than a piece of literary portraiture - it is part of our cultural history."
He said the portrait gave readers "an image with which they could identify and which even seemed to embody the character of her work".
Austen's novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
At the same sale, an original pencil sketch by the Winne the Pooh illustrator EH Shepard sold for £58,750, just breaching its higher sales estimate of £50,000.
The basis for an illustration which later appeared in AA Milne's The House At Pooh Corner, it depicts Christopher Robin and Winne the Pooh playing Poohsticks.
Another early colour illustration by Shepard, entitled Christopher Robin's Braces, sold for £68,500.
Joseph Mathunjwa spent the night underground with the rescue team.
The three were working above ground in the lamproom when a building collapsed into the mine, burying them under tonnes of rubble.
More than 70 miners managed to escape using an emergency exit.
The rescue team says they have got a response to tapping sounds that they made from above.
"The longer they remain trapped the slimmer the chances of them being found alive," the president of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), Mr Mathunjwa said on the union's website.
The statement added that the rescue team were able to break the rock that was blocking the entrance to the container room where the miners are trapped and are currently removing tonnes of rubble.
Rescuers had previously heard tapping, giving hope that the three were still alive in the Lily Gold Mine in Barberton, South Africa.
But the AMCU's regional secretary John Sibiya told South Africa's Times that the rescuers have not heard anything from the trapped workers for 20 hours.
State schools have "much to learn" from the private sector, Dr Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College until this year, told a conference on Friday.
Their "remorseless drive... for exam success is no longer fit for purpose", he said at Tatler's Schools Live.
People need the skills to do things that computers cannot, he added.
Dr Seldon, the first speaker at the event, explained why he believes pupils need to learn teamwork, empathy and resilience to be ready for life beyond the classroom.
In his speech at the conference, which is aimed at parents looking for information on independent schools, he said: "Independent schools are taking the lead nationally in preparing students for the jobs required for the 21st Century."
Dr Seldon, now vice-chancellor of Buckingham University, quoted a recent Harvard University study which found employers need far more than the skills developed in exams.
"They also need what is patronisingly called the 'soft' skills, i.e. those that cannot be replicated by computers, which are fast taking over not just manual but professional jobs also.
"These are the skills of creativity, teamwork, empathy, grit, resilience and honesty."
Dr Seldon said England's education secretary, Nicky Morgan, is the first "fully to appreciate" schools can excel both in academic rigour and at teaching character.
"The reason why alumni from independent schools are so dominant across society is not just because of the excellent exam results they receive, but precisely because of the grounding in the soft skills.
"I am expressly not critical of state schools themselves. They are the victim of forces that compel them to focus on a narrow range of exam teaching and subjects at the cost of broader education in the arts, character, sports and the social and work skills that employers increasingly want in the 21st century.
"Some state schools manage to do exams well and offer this breadth of education, but it is much, much harder for them than independent schools," Dr Seldon concluded.
The latest victim was shot in the city on Monday night.
Eddie Hutch Sr, 59, was killed in his flat in Poplar Row, North Strand, in the north inner city.
Police believe it could be a reprisal for a murder at a boxing match weigh-in on Friday.
The garda commissioner (head of police) met the Republic's justice minister on Tuesday to discuss the latest attacks.
After the meeting, Nóirín O'Sullivan said she outlined to minister Frances Fitzgerald her requirements in terms of capacity and capability to respond to current and emerging threats.
She said since Friday, gardaí have an organisation-wide response in place, with plans in place for the coming days.
She added that she is also adopting a policy of saturation policing, involving multi-rolling checkpoints and controls paid for by overtime.
The total cost of the package is an additional €5 million.
Monday's murder was believed to be in retaliation for a gun attack on the Regency Hotel on Friday, which resulted in another man, David Byrne, being shot dead.
Gardaí have been criticised for not having any intelligence about what was going to happen on Friday, despite the fact that various media outlets heard something might happen.
However, Ms O'Sullivan insisted there was no specific intelligence relating to the event.
She said that gardaí are deployed on the basis of risk and threat.
"We have to be very careful how we deploy members," she said.
"If there is no threat, we cannot [deploy] members. Last Friday was a public sporting event and you cannot have [police] going to every single event, just because criminals may be there."
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald said that she would be concerned at any failings.
"Obviously if intelligence had been available, clearly the gardai would have been there," she said.
"I would be concerned at any intelligence failing, of course, but what I would say is that gardai did not have intelligence in relation to it."
Ms O'Sullivan said that she is happy with the police resources she has at her disposal.
"There is no doubt that over the last number of years we have seen significant reductions in both human and financial resources, and we've worked hard to redress that.
"We can't redress it overnight, but I'm very satisfied with the intelligence capability that we have and the calibre of people that we have remaining and with the investment in the ongoing continuous recruitment."
At least four gunmen entered Mr Hutch's home at 19.45 local time and shot him dead in the hallway. The getaway car, a silver BMW, was found a short distance away.
Petrol was found inside the car and it is thought the gunmen intended to burn it out.
Ms Fitzgerald urged gang members fearing for their safety to go to the police.
Friday's shooting was claimed by a group purporting to be the Continuity IRA (CIRA), a dissident republican faction.
A second statement made on Monday evening, also claiming to be from the Continuity IRA, denied any involvement in the attack at the hotel.
Ms Fitzgerald said all lines of inquiry will be pursued.
"We have had claim and counter claim, that is still under investigation and like all of the other lines of investigation has to be taken very seriously.
"And I suppose the point I would make in terms of the firearms, we have had a history where An Garda Síochána in this state has had to confront dissidents where firearms were widely available, and of course there are legacy issues in relation to that, and indeed in relation to dissident activity.
"So one has to always be conscious that many people who were formerly involved in various types of activity have got involved in organised crime as well."
Eddie Hutch Snr is the uncle of Gary Hutch who was shot dead in Spain five months ago.
He is the brother of Gerry Hutch, a notorious criminal in Dublin in the late 1980s and 90s who was nicknamed the Monk.
It is understood the Monk has retired from crime and made a settlement with the Criminal Assets Bureau.
The shooting Is believed to be part of a feud between two gangs - one based mainly in Spain and the other linked to the north inner city in Dublin.
The victim was a father of five and had a criminal record, but he was not regarded as a senior figure in Dublin's criminal world.
Ms Fitzgerald called it "another deplorable example of the ruthlessness of gangland criminals".
"It seems that some gangs are intent on waging a feud where human life counts for nothing," Ms Fitzgerald said.
North Tyneside Council said grey seals on St Mary's Island are becoming distressed by the number of visitors.
The island near Whitley Bay is currently a stop for players wanting to find characters called Seels.
Pokemon has been approached for comment.
A spokesman for North Tyneside Council said: "Our staff at the island are concerned that the number of people attracted by Pokemon were causing seals to haul back into the sea due to distress.
"This issue is something that we have been working with conservation groups to avoid and while we recognise that the current Pokemon Go phenomenon provided many people with a lot of pleasure and increased footfall to a number of venues, St Mary's Island is an area of natural beauty with significant wildlife.
"Our first priority must always be the safety and well-being of the seals on the island and, in this instance, we feel that other locations would be more appropriate for Pokestops."
The court in the city of Yekaterinburg found Ruslan Sokolovsky guilty of insulting religious believers and inciting hatred.
During the trial, Sokolovsky, now aged 22, had pleaded not guilty.
He filmed himself playing the popular game in the local Orthodox church in August 2016.
He was arrested shortly afterwards.
On Thursday, Sokolovsky was also found guilty of "illegal trafficking of special technical equipment" after a pen with a built-in video camera had been discovered during the search of his home.
During the trial, the prosecution had asked for Sokolovsky to be jailed for three-and-a-half years.
After the verdict was announced, the blogger said he was relieved.
"Until the very last moment I didn't know what the sentencing would be, that's why I was very nervous and feared I would get a real prison term," he told BBC Russian.
He said he had already apologised to religious believers, adding that the way he delivered his video was "too cynical for Russian society".
Sokolovsky also said he would consult his lawyers about whether he should appeal against the verdict.
The video from the church built in remembrance of Tsar Nicholas II and his family was posted by Sokolovsky in August 2016, quickly attracting many viewers.
It was published apparently in response to warnings that playing such games in church might have legal consequences.
In the video, Sokolovsky - just before going inside the church - is seen saying that the risk of being arrested is "complete nonsense".
"Who could get offended if you're just walking around with your smartphone in a church?"
It's an augmented reality game on smartphones, which uses GPS.
Users play by walking around the real world catching cutesy little virtual monsters like Pikachu and Jigglypuff in places near their phone location and training them to fight each other.
The monsters in it were first popular in the 1990s when they started on the Nintendo Game Boy.
Pokemon Go: All you need to know
Oh, take your pick...
An American woman found a body while she was looking for a Pokemon in a river near her home. Police said the man had died within the last 24 hours and no foul play was suspected.
Four people were arrested in Missouri after they used the game to lure players to remote places and then rob them at gunpoint. In response, the makers of Pokemon Go have said people should "play with friends when going to new or unfamiliar places" and "remember to be safe and alert at all times".
The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in the US is the location of a gym in the game, and players planted a pink "Clefairy" Pokemon called Love is Love there. The church has responded with a series of social media posts calling the Pokemon a sodomite.
There have also been plenty of reports of people falling over and grazing or cutting themselves because they're not paying attention to what's in front of them while they play.
West Yorkshire Police said a police firearm was discharged during the operation at about 18:00 GMT near the M62 in Huddersfield.
The slip roads east and west bound at junction 24 of the M62 remain closed.
The force said the case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. No further details about the man or incident have been released by police.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "During a pre-planned policing operation near to the M62 in Huddersfield a police firearm was discharged and a man has died.
"An immediate referral has been made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission who are in attendance in West Yorkshire and West Yorkshire Police are fully cooperating with their investigation."
Ethiopia's 2015 winner Birtukan Fente Alemu and 2014 victor Mimi Belete of Bahrain will both run at Greenmount.
Belete demonstrated her continuing good form in 2015 by reaching the World 5,000m final in Beijing.
European cross country gold medallists Louise Carton and Yeman Crippa will also compete in the Antrim event.
Belgian Carton won the women's under-23 title in Hyeres last month with Italian Crippa retaining his junior title in impressive fashion.
Crippa, who also won a European junior 5,000m bronze medal last summer, will be part of a men's field with includes last year's winner Uganda's Thomas Ayeko and Bahrain's Aweke Ayelew.
Newcastle athlete Kerry O'Flaherty will lead the local women's challenge after being part of Ireland's European team bronze medal success in Hyeres.
Emma Mitchell, who represented Ireland in the under-23 event last month, will also compete while the local men's entry will include Paddy Hamilton, Seamus Lynch and Declan Reed.
Irish star McCormack, who finished fourth in the individual event in Hyeres, won the Antrim event in 2012 and 2013.
Saints had an offer for the 22-year-old accepted at the end of May, but the player's summer holiday delayed completion of the transfer.
"This is a great club who are where they belong [in the Premier League]," Rodriguez told Southampton's website.
"It's a squad I want to be a part of. The sky is the limit."
He has a hungry and enthusiastic attitude, with a desire to work hard in the positive environment that we have at Southampton
A string of Premier League clubs, including Everton,Aston Villa and Wigan, had been linked to the former England Under-21 international over recent months.
But newly-promoted Southampton were the only club to meet Burnley's valuation for the youngster, who had a year left on his contract and scored 21 goals last season.
They had been pursuing the striker for more than a year and failed with bids last summer and in January.
Burnley-born Rodriguez started his career at his hometown club, scoring 41 goals in 128 appearances overall.
"Jay is an exciting young English prospect, so I am really happy he is our first signing of the summer," said Saints boss Nigel Adkins.
"There has been a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes on several fronts and we are delighted Jay has signed for us as we get ready for our pre-season schedule.
"He has demonstrated a superb attitude and, when we met him, it has only confirmed what our research has told us.
"He has a hungry and enthusiastic attitude, with a desire to work hard in the positive environment that we have at Southampton where he will be able to develop his talent."
Rodriguez added: "As an outsider, you look at the club from where it started, and the drive they have to move up the leagues in quick succession is amazing.
"They want to push on even higher, and carry on the way they're going."
Roofe has joined for an undisclosed fee understood to be about £3m, a club-record sale for the U's.
The 23-year-old started his career at West Brom, who are owed a share of the transfer fee due to a sell-on clause.
Grimes, 20, has struggled to break into the Swansea first team, making only one Premier League start.
The England Under-21 international joins up with former Swans boss Garry Monk, who signed him as a teenager from League Two side Exeter City for £1.75m in January 2015.
He played 13 times for Blackburn Rovers during a loan spell last season.
Roofe scored 18 goals in 40 league games for Oxford last season to help the U's earn promotion to League One, and he also contributed nine assists.
The Walsall-born player joined Oxford on an initial loan deal in February 2015, before making the move permanent in May of that year.

The 21-year-old will officially join the Iron on Friday, enabling him to play against Crawley on 22 November.
Williams, who scored twice in seven games during a loan with Hartlepool last season, could make his Iron debut against Notts County on Saturday.
"I've had a good first day today and all the lads seem great," he told BBC Radio Humberside.
United have 10 games remaining, starting with an away trip to Premier League leaders Leicester on Monday.
"We have 10 games to play, this is just the first one," Benitez told BBC Newcastle.
"We have to concentrate on one game at a time. I am sure that with the quality and the commitment I have seen from the players in training, we will be fine."
Newcastle currently sit 19th in the Premier League, one point adrift of 17th-placed Sunderland and safety, with a game in hand.
A victory would take Newcastle out of the relegation zone but the Magpies have lost their last six away games, whilst Leicester have been beaten only twice at home this season.
"We know that it will be difficult - [Leicester] are on fire now and everything is for them because they are playing at home," the ex-Liverpool manager continued.
"But we have our players, our quality and we need to have the confidence that sometimes has been missing."
Having been brought in on Friday following Steve McClaren's long-expected departure, Benitez admits he has had little chance to make changes to the side.
The 55-year-old Spaniard added: "We didn't have too much time to prepare. This game will be more about the passion, commitment and some adjustments tactically.
"We have to adjust little things but, for me, the main thing is to see the commitment of the players.
"Obviously what I demand from them, what I expect from them and what I have seen from these two training sessions is their commitment.
"They had a day off and I was bringing them to the training ground - and everybody was there and everybody was putting 100% in."
Thousands of people gathered to watch in the port of Saint-Nazaire as the 70m (230ft) high vessel was guided out to sea by six tugs on Thursday.
The €1bn (£783m; $1.1bn) ship is being built for the Royal Caribbean International (RCI) cruise company.
The 120,000-tonne vessel is expected to be delivered to the US-based firm in two months.
The trial will continue until Sunday.
The 16-deck Harmony of the Seas is 362m long - 50m longer than the Eiffel Tower is high.

About 2,000 crew members will cater for their needs.
The 32-year-old, who led his club to a sixth Super League Grand Final last week, made his England debut in 2000 and succeeds Jamie Peacock, who retired from international rugby last summer.
"Kevin was my number one choice," England coach Steve McNamara said.
The England team are currently at a high altitude training camp in Africa in preparation for the autumn series against France and Wales.
Sinfield made his Leeds debut in 1996 at the age of 16 and was made captain of the club in 2003.
In 2008, he set a club record by scoring in 63 consecutive matches and this year celebrated his 3,000th point for the Yorkshire side.
"I am immensely honoured to captain England Rugby League," he said.
"Representing your country is always special, but to captain England will be the proudest moment of my career to date.
"There could have been a number of candidates for the job, when you look at the number of leaders we have in the squad, but Steve McNamara has asked me take up the role and I will do it to the best of my ability.
England's opening match in the autumn series is against Wales at the Glyndwr University Racecourse Ground in Wrexham on 27 October.
They then host France at MS3 Craven Park in Hull a week later.
Prime Minister David Cameron said Mr Paisley, 88, had been "one of the most forceful and instantly recognisable characters in British politics".
His successor, Peter Robinson, said he was influential and Sinn F??in's Martin McGuinness said he had lost a friend.
His wife, Baroness Eileen Paisley, said the family was heartbroken.
Mr Paisley, who was 88, moved from a political "never man" to Northern Ireland's first minister.
He ended up leading a power-sharing executive at Stormont - although he had supported the strike to bring one down 30 years earlier.
In 2010, he was given the title Lord Bannside of North Antrim after taking his seat in the House of Lords.
Earlier that year he had stepped down as North Antrim MP - the constituency he had represented at Westminster for 40 years.
In her statement on Friday, Baroness Paisley said: "Although ours is the grand hope of reunion, naturally as a family, we are heartbroken.
"We loved him and he adored us and our earthly lives are forever changed."
Baroness Paisley said that his funeral would be private.
The prime minister said Mr Paisley was a controversial politician but his contribution in his later years to stability in Northern Ireland was "huge".
"In particular, his decision to take his party into government with Sinn F??in in 2007 required great courage and leadership, for which everyone in these islands should be grateful," Mr Cameron said.
"Ian Paisley will be remembered by many as the 'Big Man' of Northern Ireland politics. He will be greatly missed."
Ed Miliband, Leader of the Opposition, said Mr Paisley was "a towering figure in Northern Ireland politics for decades".
"His decision to take the DUP into a power-sharing partnership with Sinn F??in was the ultimate act of political courage and reconciliation," he said.
First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson said that during the height of the Troubles, the "sure and certain ring" of Ian Paisley's voice had a "special resonance" with the people of Northern Ireland.
"I don't think that there's anyone who has had more influence in Northern Ireland over the years," Mr Robinson said.
"Even those who thought the least of his politics thought the most of him as a person."
He said those who knew Ian Paisley knew his priority was his faith - above all else in life.
"In terms of Ian Paisley's political contribution, I think there are many people who look at his early days in the context of the more stable and peaceful society that we have today.
"The Ian Paisley of those days was an Ian Paisley that was keeping together a unionist community that felt it was under fire, that it had no friends to help it constitutionally, that its representatives were being picked off, there was genocide along the border," he said.
However, former Alliance Party leader John Cushnahan said that while he sympathised with the family, he was astonished at the "rewriting" of Ian Paisley's political contribution.
"While I welcome the fact that he ultimately embraced power sharing, it was too little too late and should not be used to excuse the pain and suffering that he inflicted on the people of Northern Ireland for the majority of his political life," he said.

Mr Cushnahan said that his life was "punctuated with nakedly sectarian acts and deeds".
He said the 1974 power sharing executive in Northern Ireland had been brought down by "a combination of increasing IRA violence and the fascist UWC strike led by Ian Paisley and loyalist paramilitaries".
"Tragically thousands more people were to lose their lives or suffer serious injury before Sinn F??in and the DUP embraced what already been on offer in 1974. The belated conversion of both should not result in an attempt to naively rewrite history."
Martin McGuinness, Sinn F??in, who was Ian Paisley's deputy first minister in the Northern Ireland Assembly, said he had learned of the death with deep regret and sadness.
"Over a number of decades we were political opponents and held very different views on many, many issues but the one thing we were absolutely united on was the principle that our people were better able to govern themselves than any British government," he said.
"I want to pay tribute to and comment on the work he did in the latter days of his political life in building agreement and leading unionism into a new accommodation with republicans and nationalists."
Loved and loathed, admired and feared, the life of the man known simply as "Big Ian" is the story of Northern Ireland's transition from violence to peace.
Some will remember him for a single word - "Never!" - rarely spoken, usually bellowed.
He was, for years, the symbol of unionist defiance and, occasionally, menace.
Others will reflect, instead, on what was to become a routine but nonetheless extraordinary sight.
The sight of him sharing a smile and a laugh with the man who had been his bitter enemy - Sinn F??in's Martin McGuinness.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair said Mr Paisley was "a man of deep convictions".
"The convictions never changed. But his appreciation of the possibilities of peace, gradually and with much soul searching, did. He began as the militant. He ended as the peacemaker," he said.
President of Ireland Michael D Higgins said Mr Paisley was "a man of deep convictions".
"His early career was characterised by an uncompromising position of a constitutional kind. However, his embracing of the change necessary to achieve a discourse that might lead to peace was of immense significance, as was his commitment to building relationships in support of that peace," he said.
Former Irish prime minster Bertie Ahern described Ian Paisley as "a big man with a big heart". | England have lacked their traditional "bulldog spirit" since winning the 2003 World Cup, says Japan boss Eddie Jones.

Blackwell needed an emergency procedure to reduce brain swelling following an unsanctioned sparring session.
The 26-year-old retired from boxing earlier this year after he had to be put into an induced coma following a defeat by Chris Eubank Jr.
Blackwell remains stable in hospital but is yet to regain consciousness.
The former British middleweight champion is no longer being sedated, but he had a section of his skull removed to ease swelling on his brain. His recovery time and prognosis remain unclear.
The BBBofC's initial investigation has found that Blackwell was involved in a gym sparring session with a licenced boxer on 22 November.
BBC Wales Sport understand he is a professional fighter rather than an amateur.
Blackwell complained of headaches after the sparring session and was taken to hospital where it was determined surgery was necessary.
BBBofC secretary Robert Smith told BBC Wales Sport: "We are calling people we know were involved and we are calling people we believe were involved.
"We are looking at arranging a hearing that will happen early in January. It is a matter we are taking extremely seriously.
"We want to hear from Nick as well, health permitting."
Smith said the board would not yet discuss possible sanctions against those involved, although promoter Frank Warren has called for them to have their licences revoked.
"We will wait and see what happens at the hearing, I don't want to speculate on possible punishment," Smith added.
Blackwell's former trainer Gary Lockett, who was unaware Blackwell was sparring, says he is facing a long road to recovery.
"This is not a quick process, we are looking at several months," he said.
Lockett has called on the people who let Blackwell spar to be banned from the sport.
"I can't believe the boxer he sparred with, and the coach or coaches involved, would ever allow Nick to spar when he's had a brain injury," Lockett told BBC Radio Wales.
"In due course, I hope they are dealt with by the British Boxing Board of Control in the correct manner."
Fire broke out at the Funky Funhouse in Mercers Row, Cambridge, at about 22:40 BST on Friday, destroying the soft play area, cafe and day nursery.
No-one was inside at the time, but the company estimates damage caused by the blaze to cost about £750,000 to repair.
About 2,500 people were expected to use the centre over the long weekend, they added. The fire was started deliberately, an investigation found.
Aaron Othman, one of the company's directors, said it was "hugely distressing as everything inside is gone".
He said he believed the building had been broken into, and the safe and tills emptied, but was still waiting to see if the structure was safe to enter.
"It's the worst possible time," he said.
"We had eight birthday parties booked today [Saturday] and were expecting about 700 people.
"We're working hard to make arrangements with other venues so we don't disappoint the children."
The company had just completed work on a new day nursery within the complex, and was awaiting the "OK from Ofsted" before opening, Mr Othman added.
Fire crews were called in from neighbouring Suffolk to assist Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service tackle the blaze at the centre, which is situated on an industrial estate close to a recycling depot.
The UNHCR said it was looking for a possible site for the refugees in Djibouti in case the fighting worsens.
At the same time Somali refugees are still continuing to arrive in Yemen to escape violence and poverty at home.
Yemen hosts more than 238,000 Somali refugees, the UNHCR says.
The UNHCR said that at least 32 Yemenis "fleeing conflict" landed on Somalia's northern coastline after crossing the treacherous Gulf of Aden and landing in the semi-autonomous regions of Somaliland and Puntland.
BBC Africa analyst Mary Harper says that the idea of Yemenis seeking refuge on Somali soil is striking - because it is normally a place to run away from, not towards.
The UN says the authorities in the Somaliland port town of Berbera - on the Gulf of Aden - are doing what they can to help.
About 12 Yemeni families recently arrived at Berbera after travelling from Yemeni's third largest city of Taiz, where Saudi planes targeted Houthi rebels, officials said on Tuesday.
In the meantime, hundreds of migrants are continuing to flood in the opposite direction, from Somalia to Yemen. The UN said more than 1,500 arrived last week alone.
Concerns are also being raised in Somalia over potential recriminations against Somali refugees in Yemen after the Somali government voiced its support for the Saudi-led air strikes against Houthi fighters.
A geophysical survey has revealed new finds under the Iron Age hillfort, Pen Dinas, at Penparcau, near Aberystwyth.
A number of suspected hut circles - dwellings typical of the Iron Age - have also been identified.
Dr Alan Chamberlain said the presence of the mound means the hill "must have been a place of special importance long before the hillfort was constructed".
The survey was part of a community-led heritage and environment project run by Penparcau Community Forum with support from archaeological specialists.
Trustee Dr Chamberlain, a local resident, said: "It's really exciting and nationally significant.
"It's especially important because the local community has made this happen."
The project is seeking more volunteers.

Gayle, 36, was fined by the club in January after asking journalist Mel McLaughlin for a date during a live interview, saying: "Don't blush, baby."
"We know it was wrong," Renegades coach David Saker told BBC Sport.
"All I try to do is pick a squad to win a series. I probably don't look at those things."
The former England bowling coach added: "If the hierarchies above us or the people in higher positions than myself come down on that, they do."
During his exchange with McLaughlin after a match in Hobart, Gayle also said: "To see your eyes for the first time is nice. Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards."
The Renegades described the comments as "completely inappropriate and disrespectful" and fined him A$10,000 (£4,900).
Gayle, part of the West Indies team who won the World Twenty20 in April, later apologised but said the reaction was "out of proportion" after former players and Cricket Australia condemned his remarks.
"I think what happened afterwards was a bit of a beat up," Saker added.
"A lot of people put their two bobs-worth in that probably didn't need to."
Gayle will return to Somerset next month to play in the T20 Blast, having scored 328 runs in three appearances for them last summer.
Aberavon AM David Rees wants to know "what flexibility we have" on a pensions deal being backed by unions.
They say extra details have been negotiated, such as a commitment to those nearing retirement.
While unions said Tata's offer is not without issues, they insist it is the "only viable way to secure the future" of the company's UK steel business.
Ahead of the Friday's meeting alongside Llanelli AM Lee Waters, Mr Rees told BBC Radio Wales: "I want to see what flexibility we have with this deal.
"A lot of steelworkers are very unhappy, their confidence, from experiences over the past 12 months have been shattered. They need reassurances."
Mr Rees said it was a decision for the unions whether to accept the deal, but he wanted to hear details from the company himself.
Changes to pensions are seen as essential to investment, including £1bn at Port Talbot over 10 years.
Aberavon AM Mr Rees has the biggest Tata plant in the UK in his constituency as more than 4,000 people work at the Port Talbot plant while about 650 workers are employed at the Trostre site in Llanelli - Mr Waters' constituency.
A ballot on the new pension offer is expected to be put to workers on Monday when Wales' 6,000 Tata employees can choose to accept or reject the deal.
A consultation on changes to the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS) was announced in December, as part of a deal which included a pact to avoid compulsory redundancies for five years and 10 years of investment.
Under the changes announced, the BSPS would close to future accrual, replaced with a defined contribution scheme with maximum contributions of 10% from Tata and 6% from workers.
An initial offer involved a new pension scheme with contributions of only 3% from the company and 3% from employees.
More than 100 union members from across Tata met on Thursday.
A spokesman for the First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "We have been clear throughout this process that it is right for any changes to the pensions arrangements to be negotiated by the trade unions directly with Tata.
"As social partners we have supported our union colleagues every step of the way in fighting for what's best for steelworkers in Wales and we will continue to do so."
Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock, who has the Port Talbot plant in his constituency, tweeted on Thursday: "I am sure that steelworkers will take the steel unions' endorsement of the deal into account, when they are weighing up how to cast their votes".
Chasing 320, the visitors were bowled out for 191, with Sanderson taking 4-31 to add to his first-innings 5-52.
Tom Taylor (69) prevented a more convincing loss for Derbyshire, who had been 58-6, before Nathan Buck (3-38) accounted for most of the tail.
Earlier, Northants lost their last six wickets for 17 runs to finish 277 all out in their second innings.
Teenage paceman Conor McKerr took 5-54 to end with match figures of 10-141.
Northants' fourth win in six matches strengthened their fourth position in the table and moved them within seven points of third-placed Worcestershire, who lost heavily to Glamorgan.
Derbyshire remain winless in the County Championship in 2017, although they received positive news regarding Luis Reece, who has been discharged from hospital after being taken ill on day one.
Medical staff believe Reece has been suffering from a viral infection, the club said in a statement.
Reece posted on Twitter: "Thank you for all the messages over the past few days. I'm now out of hospital with a short period of rest but all is okay. Thank you again."
But the Serious Case Review found the death of Keziah Flux-Edmonds at her home in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, could not easily have been prevented.
Keziah was drowned in a bath in June by her father Darren, 44, who killed the family dogs before killing himself.
The report said Mr Flux-Edmonds was not thought to be a danger to others.
In December, an inquest heard how police found Keziah lifeless on her bed next to the soaked bodies of the family's two pet dogs.
Officers were called to the home in Cromwell Avenue after Keziah's mother received a text from her estranged husband which said: "You've taken everything and I will leave you with just memories."
The pair had separated in April after a 12-year marriage.
The Serious Case Review said Mr Flux-Edmonds had told a therapist of his nightmare three weeks before the tragedy.
The report said the therapist asked "probing questions" and assessed that there was no "intention to act".
The inquiry, by the island's Safeguarding Children Board, also said Mr Flux-Edmonds had been treated for depression by a number of different GPs.
But one told the Board: "We can't refer every child living in a house with mental health issues - there are so many."
The report said information about the family was not fully shared between police, health and social services.
But it said there were no "evident actions or inactions by professionals" which could have prevented the deaths.
Derek Benson, the Board's chairman, said the report's five recommendations were, "in the main... for partner agencies to take a more holistic view and to 'Think Family' when managing cases".
New government proposals say victims have a right to know who is behind malicious messages without the need for costly legal battles.
The powers will be balanced by measures to prevent false claims in order to get material removed.
But privacy advocates are worried websites might end up divulging user details in a wider range of cases.
Last week, a British woman won a court order forcing Facebook to identify users who had harassed her.
Nicola Brookes had been falsely branded a paedophile and drug dealer by users - known as trolls - on Facebook.
Facebook, which did not contest the order, will now reveal the IP addresses of people who had abused her so she can prosecute them.
The new powers, to be added to the Defamation Bill, would make this process far less time-consuming and costly, the government said.
Complying with requests would afford the website greater protection from being sued in the event of a defamation claim.
The new rules would apply to all websites - regardless of where they are hosted - but the claimant would need to be able to show that the UK was the right place to bring the action.
Currently, in legal terms, every website "hit" - visit - on a defamatory article can be counted as a separate offence.
This means many websites remove articles as soon as a defamation claim is made - either rightly or wrongly.
"Website operators are in principle liable as publishers for everything that appears on their sites, even though the content is often determined by users," said Justice Secretary Ken Clarke.
"But most operators are not in a position to know whether the material posted is defamatory or not and very often - faced with a complaint - they will immediately remove material.
"Our proposed approach will mean that website operators have a defence against libel as long as they identify the authors of allegedly defamatory material when requested to do so by a complainant."
Mr Clarke said the measures would mean an end to "scurrilous rumour and allegation" being posted online without fear of adequate punishment.
"The government wants a libel regime for the internet that makes it possible for people to protect their reputations effectively but also ensures that information online can't be easily censored by casual threats of litigation against website operators.
"It will be very important to ensure that these measures do not inadvertently expose genuine whistleblowers, and we are committed to getting the detail right to minimise this risk."
But Privacy International, an organisation that campaigns at an international level on privacy issues, says that there is a concern that "gun-shy website operators will start automatically divulging user details the moment someone alleges defamation in order to shield themselves from libel actions".
"A great deal of the content posted by internet trolls is not actually defamatory, instead constituting harassment, invasion of privacy or simply unpleasant but lawfully-expressed opinion," said Emma Draper, head of communications at Privacy International.
"However, if the choice is between protecting users' anonymity and avoiding a potentially costly lawsuit, many small operators are not going to be overly concerned about whether or not a user has genuinely defamed the complainant."
The England striker put the visitors ahead after two minutes, heading home Alex Greenwood's free-kick.
She netted her second after connecting with Danielle Buet's impressive cross and was denied a hat-trick when another effort was ruled out for offside.
Liverpool's best chances fell to Rosie White and Natasha Dowie.
The Lady Magpies will face Arsenal in the final at Rotherham on 1 November, having already finished FA Cup runners-up in August.
Rachel Williams looked a constant threat for County and the midfielder forced the Liverpool defence into two last-ditch clearances following a couple of powerful headers.
The defeat marked the return of Liverpool midfielder Fara Williams, who came on for the last 10 minutes following three months out with a hamstring injury.
Notts County striker Ellen White:
"This is another milestone, obviously we wanted to do a bit better in the league but this is a massive cup for us.
"We want to go to the final and put in a big performance and do it for our coaches more than anything. Rotherham's an incredible stadium and we'll look forward to facing Arsenal."
Liverpool Ladies manager Matt Beard:
"I felt we gave a good account of ourselves but Notts County deserved to win it.
"I thought especially in the second half we were good and created some chances but we've got 10 players who have come through our centre of excellence and nine players out injured.
"All nine of them probably would be in the starting XI and you can't legislate for that."

The 'City of Gloucester Rose' was created for the city by John Sanday in 1969, but has not been on sale since 1995 and was thought to have been lost.
But following months of searching, the peach-coloured rose has been found in a garden in Abbeydale near Gloucester.
A spokeswoman for Plant Heritage, said: "It hasn't been seen for 20 years this may well be the last one growing."
A search for a "living plant" was launched by Caroline Mellor, from the Gloucester Local History Society.
Following months of intensive research, it was finally discovered in a garden in Abbeydale still bearing a faded label with "City of Gloucester rose" written on it.
"When I began, nobody seemed to have heard of the rose," she said.
"So to actually see it at last - having been searching for it and asking so many people about this rose - is amazing."
According to the garden plant conservation charity Plant Heritage, the hybrid tea rose was on the organisation's "threatened" list but with no records of a living plant for two decades was set to be described as critical or extinct.
"It's been out of cultivation for 20 years," said a spokeswoman.
"So it's very lucky to have found it."
A week after unveiling his Autumn Statement, Mr Osborne must now prepare for this annual speech outlining fiscal forecasts and tax changes for the following financial year.
Last year there was a Budget on 18 March, the Chancellor's sixth.
However, following the General Election two months later, Mr Osborne held another Budget on 8 July.
This summer Budget was the first all-Tory presentation of Conservative plans to balance the books and raise revenue following the ending of the Coalition government.
On that occasion, the date of the summer Budget was announced in an article for the Sun newspaper, rather than the more conventional statement to Parliament, because MPs were not sitting.
American Mayweather, 37, and Filipino Pacquiao, 36, are considered to be the best two fighters of their generation.
Mayweather's WBC and WBA welterweight titles and Pacquiao's WBO belt will be on the line at the MGM Grand.
Mayweather is unbeaten in 47 professional fights; Pacquiao has 57 wins and five losses from 64 contests.
The fight is expected to generate as much as £162m ($250m). The most lucrative fight in history is thought to be Mayweather's bout against Saul Alvarez in 2013, which made an estimated £97m.
Mayweather-Pacquiao is also expected to break the record for pay-per-view buys in the United States. The current record of 2.4 million was set when Mayweather fought fellow American Oscar de la Hoya in 2007.
Mayweather wrote on his webpage: "What the world has been waiting for has arrived. Mayweather vs Pacquiao on May 2, 2015 is a done deal.
"This will be the biggest event in the history of the sport. Boxing fans and sports fans around the world will witness greatness on May 2."
Pacquiao said: "I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.
"They have waited long enough and they deserve it. It is an honour to be part of this historic event.
"I dedicate this fight to all the fans who willed this fight to happen and, as always, to bring glory to the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos around the world."
Mayweather said "giving the fans what they want is always my main focus".
He added: "I am the best ever and this fight will be another opportunity to showcase my skills and do what I do best, which is win.
"Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won't be successful. He will be number 48."
Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, said: "Floyd should enjoy being the A-side while he can. Because on May 2, Manny is going to put him on his backside."
Mayweather and Pacquiao met for the first time at a basketball game in Miami in January, when they exchanged telephone numbers.
Mayweather is regarded by many as the finest technician and tactician in boxing, while Pacquiao has built his career on a more aggressive style.
Pacquiao beat Chris Algieri on a unanimous points decision in his most recent fight in November, but lost twice in 2013 - to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.
Mayweather, whose unbeaten record stretches back to 1996, has won his past five bouts on points, most recently a rematch with Marcos Maidana in September.
British welterweight Amir Khan, who wants to fights Mayweather and also held talks with Pacquiao in January, said before the bout was announced that it is "not going to be what people expect".
He told the Daily Mail on Thursday: "Four years ago it would have been a massive fight because both of them were at their peak. It might have gone past that now.
"It will be a good fight for a couple of rounds. I think it will go the distance but that Mayweather will win by unanimous decision."
The fight also marks a rare joint agreement between Showtime Sports and HBO, the two American media companies, who traditionally work in opposition.
They have worked together before, teaming up in 2002 for the fight between then heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, who was with HBO, and former champion Mike Tyson, who was with Showtime.
This time Showtime hold the rights to Mayweather while HBO have Pacquiao.
"This fight took about five or six years of negotiations, arguing, egos getting in the way before it finally came to fruition," explained Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter.
"It's the biggest fight by far in years in the sport of boxing, so I equate this to five or six years of Super Bowls all wrapped into one fight. It'll be the biggest boxing event of all time."
Negotiations for the fight first came to a halt five years ago but Stephen Espinoza, the executive vice-president of Showtime Sports, does not believe the advancing years of the two boxers will damage the event as a showpiece.
"Part of the myth and legend of this entire event is that is took so long to come to fruition," he said.
"Maybe a boxer that is just slightly past his prime provides a more entertaining, a more memorable fight than the guy whose reflexes are at their peak."
The boy's family has met medics to discuss plans for him to be sent from Malaga to the Czech Republic for Proton Beam Therapy treatment.
The Proton Therapy Centre has arranged for a medically-equipped private plane to take Ashya, five, from Spain.
Doctors in Prague are to meet on Monday to review Ashya's medical notes and decide whether he can travel.
The family's lawyer, Juan Isidro Fernandez Diaz, said: "He is in perfect condition to travel at the moment.
"He is playing with toys, with his parents, with his brother, and we are preparing the last documentation to travel."
Doctors in Malaga have now seen documents showing the Prague clinic has accepted the five-year-old as a patient.
An expert panel of physicians have agreed to discuss the transportation details and additional treatment needed on Monday at 07:00 BST.
Parents Brett and Naghemeh King were given permission by the High Court to take him to the Czech Republic for Proton Beam Therapy.
The Proton Therapy Centre in Prague said it would be ready to treat Ashya four to five days days after they have carried out further tests and adapted a new treatment plan.
A spokeswoman for the clinic said legal and administrative requirements first had to be met.
Ashya's grandmother, Patricia King, has meanwhile condemned the way his parents have been treated by the British authorities as "inhuman" and "barbaric".
Most people talking about him to Canadian media describe him as introverted, shy and unassuming.
Only occasionally do glimpses of the man who is alleged to be one of Quebec's worst mass murderers shine through.
Mr Bissonnette's Facebook page, which has now been deleted, said that he lived in a suburb close to Quebec City and was a naval cadet as a child.
It carried pictures of him not dissimilar to any other postings by a man of his age and background - in his case attending what appear to be family gatherings and a selfie in which he says he is "driving to my camping ground".
Another post in November featured a video of Torngat Mountains National Park in Newfoundland with the caption: "I will visit this place one day!"
Mr Bissonnette, 27, rented a flat with his twin brother near the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre, where Sunday's shooting took place, CBC News Montreal reported.
He studied political science and anthropology at Laval University, whose campus is also close to the mosque. He was known to be keen on video games, a competent musician and active at the university's chess club.
"He gave the impression of being a very good person," Prof Jean Sevigny told thestar.com , while a university classmate told the website that Mr Bissonnette did not seem like a violent person.
"He was timid, [an] introvert. Awkward a bit," the classmate is quoted as saying.

But the alleged darker side to his character was believed by some to be never far away. Francois Deschamps, an official with an advocacy group, Welcome to Refugees, said the suspect was known for his far-right views.
Mr Bissonnette was "unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-(French far-right politician Marine) Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation's Facebook page.
A neighbour is quoted as saying that he was "very solitary", "withdrawn" and "very antisocial".
Fellow student Vincent Boissoneault told the Globe and Mail that while Mr Bissonnette's "online profile and school friendships" did little initially to reveal his extremist beliefs, more recently they became much more apparent.
That was especially the case when Marine Le Pen visited Quebec City, prompting Mr Bissonnette to express much more extreme online views in support of her.
"I wrote him off as a xenophobe," Mr Boissoneault said. "I didn't even think of him as totally racist, but he was enthralled by a borderline racist nationalist movement... [But] it never occurred to me he might be violent."
Mr Deschamps told The Globe and Mail: "He was someone who made frequent extreme comments in social media denigrating refugees and feminism. It wasn't outright hate, rather part of this new nationalist conservative identity movement that is more intolerant than hateful."
Both Mr Deschamps and Mr Boissoneault describe how the previously reticent and subdued student began expressing strong anti-immigration opinions which were especially directed towards Muslim refugees.
Regime change in Tehran would make him "significantly more optimistic" about the region's prospects, the former prime minister told The Times.
He also said Syrian president Bashar al Assad's position was "untenable".
Ahead of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Mr Blair told the Daily Mirror defeating radical Islamic terrorism would take "a generation of effort".
Mr Blair, who was PM when the attack took place and is the current Middle East envoy for "the Quartet" which is made up of the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States, said the number of radical Muslims had been underestimated.
Ten years on from the attacks of the World Trade Center, Mr Blair said the Iranians "continue to support groups that are engaged with terrorism and the forces of reaction.
"In Iraq one of the main problems has been the continued intervention of Iran - and likewise in Afghanistan."
He added: "Regime change in Tehran would immediately make me significantly more optimistic about the whole of the region."
The former premier also urged the international community to increase pressure on the Syrian regime of Bashar al Assad.
The Syrian president had shown he was "not capable of reform", Mr Blair added.
"His position is untenable. There is no process of change that leaves him intact."
In the Daily Mirror, Mr Blair said that if he had known that the UK would still be fighting in Afghanistan after a decade, he would have been "profoundly alarmed".
But he said what has happened has not made him "any less committed to the fight we began" after the 9/11 attack.
Mr Blair added that the "extremist ideology" which spurred the 9/11 attacks on the US still existed.
"While the number of extremists is small, we underestimated the numbers who share the narrative of radical Islamism and who believe they are in fundamental conflict with us who do not share it," he said.
"The majority, as the Arab Spring shows, want what we want. But the minority are well organised and very determined and they are not confined to the ranks of suicide bombers.
"It will take a generation of effort at many levels - including, importantly, to support open-minded and tolerant people of all religions to change hearts and minds and make the fanatics irrelevant."
The 59-year-old Australian, who won the Open in 1986 and 1993, posted a picture of himself recovering at a US hospital.
The former world number one, who last week posted a photo of himself cutting back a small tree, tweeted: "Working with a chainsaw ALWAYS be respectful of the unexpected.
"I was one lucky man today. Damaged but not down & out. Still have left hand."
Norman, nicknamed The (Great White) Shark because of his distinctive blond hair and aggressive style of play, led the world rankings for a total of 331 weeks in the 1980s and 1990s.
As well as his major wins at Turnberry and Royal St George's, he finished runner-up in two US Opens, a pair of US PGAs and three Masters.
In 1996 he famously blew a six-shot lead at Augusta to hand victory to England's Nick Faldo.
The woman was not asked to plead in the Pietermaritzburg magistrates court and will be held in custody until the case continues on 26 October.
She was arrested after an agent posed as a buyer, a police spokesman said.
The 19-month-old boy has been handed over to social workers.
"Someone alerted us to the advert. We made contact with the young lady and met with her undercover on Tuesday," Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi told the BBC.
"We had told her that we would make the cash transaction she asked for. We arrested her as soon as we met with her," he said.
After the woman was charged, the case was postponed to allow the police more time to investigate.
Gumtree has been co-operating with investigators, the police said.
Brig Mulaudzi said the initial advert was immediately red-flagged by Gumtree, and removed.
He said a second advert was then placed, with the heading: "baby car seat" and placed in the Baby and Kids sale section.
Nico de Boinville guided the 7-1 chance to the front early on and then held off the challenge of Djakadam and Road To Riches in the closing stages.
"It's unbelievable; words can't describe it," De Boinville told BBC Radio 5 live. "He dug deep but I always knew he had enough left."
Retiring 19-time champion AP McCoy finished ninth on Carlingford Lough.
Favourite Silviniaco Conti threatened at one stage but could not stay in touch when the pace quickened and finished seventh.
"I knew when we got here this morning we were in trouble," said McCoy, who will end his career with two Gold Cup wins.
"He's a horse that likes good ground and for a horse that's slow but has a bit of speed at the end of his race, he doesn't like it when it turns into a drag."
Coneygree becomes the first novice steeplechaser - a horse that has not won over fences before the start of the season - since Captain Christy 41 years ago to win chasing's blue riband prize.
McCoy added: "It was an unbelievable performance from a novice chaser. He got them at it early and stuck at it well."
Coneygree thrived in the soft ground after overnight rain and made most of the running in only his fourth race over fences.
"It was very dependent on the ground," trainer Mark Bradstock told 5 live. "If we hadn't had the rain, he could easily have been a non-runner."
Despite the field closing in on the home straight, the eight-year-old retained the lead up the hill and beat Djakadam by a length and a half, with Road To Riches two lengths back in third and Holywell in fourth.
"I'm numb, it's wonderful," added Bradstock, who has a small stable of about 10 horses in Oxfordshire.
"It won't sink in for a while, but it's great.
"We've done it before in smaller races and we'll still keep doing it, but it's fantastic to do it on the big stage."
De Boinville, a professional jockey for barely a year, added: "I always knew I could do it, but good horses make good jockeys.
"I'm just so grateful to the owners for keeping the faith, because there are so many big-name jockeys out there who I respect and who could and would have ridden him but they kept the faith in me.
"I'll be eternally grateful to them."

Conygar Investment Company PLC wants to build on the Old Brickworks site at Tremarl Industrial Estate, Llandudno Junction.
The company has previously said 300 jobs could be created.
Councillor Nigel Smith described the plans for the 6.5ha (16 acre) site as "fantastic".
Tesco, which has a major store at Llandudno Junction, and Mostyn Estates, ground landlords of most of Llandudno, had objected to the plan.
Miller had been on trial with the Bairns while negotiations were being held with the English Premier League club over a six-figure fee for Biabi.
The 32-year-old started out at Falkirk and will add to his 73 appearances after signing a "short-term deal".
Miller, capped three times, was released by Kilmarnock this summer.
He played 22 times, mainly as a substitute, for the Scottish Premiership side after signing a two-year deal after leaving Carlisle United last summer and scored once for the Ayrshire outfit.
Miller also numbers Bristol City, Hearts, Dundee United, Aberdeen, Middlesbrough, Notts County and Scunthorpe United among his former clubs.
The striker who scored 30 goals in his previous stint with Falkirk found the net again in last week's 3-3 Development League draw with Hibernian.
He will go straight into the Championship club's squad for Tuesday's Petrofac Training Cup visit by Peterhead.
Meanwhile, fellow striker Biabi has completed his switch to Swansea, signing a three-year contract with the English Premier League club.
The 19-year-old graduate of Falkirk's academy made 32 first-team appearances for the Bairns, mainly from the bench, scoring four times.
Passenger Sharon Davies, 45, from Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taff, was travelling along the R509 in Derby, Rustenburg, when the crash happened.
Three other family members including two children were injured after the driver appeared to lose control of the car, police said.
But Ms Davies was trapped inside and pronounced dead at the scene.
Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone, of South African police, said her family had been informed and his officers were investigating the crash.
Ms Davies and her family were en-route to visit relatives in Botswana, he added.
The Foreign Office said: "We are assisting the family of a British woman following a road accident in South Africa. Our staff are in contact with the South African police."
Moshiri, 60, sold his stake in Arsenal to business partner Alisher Usmanov on Friday so he could buy into Everton, who play Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals next month.
"After an exhaustive search, I believe we have found the perfect partner to take the club forward," Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said.
The deal needs Premier League approval.
"I have got to know Farhad well over the last 18 months," Kenwright added. "His football knowledge, financial wherewithal and true blue spirit have convinced me he is the right man."
Providing there are no problems, it will bring to an end Everton's decade-long search for new investment.
Kenwright, who bought Everton from Peter Johnson for £20m on 26 December 1999, said he was prepared to sell as far back as November 2007.
After years of inertia regarding a sale, there has been a growing intent to do a deal in recent months, fuelled by serious interest from a number of parties.
Kenwright has also been suffering from poor health and has rarely attended Everton games this season.
Talks did take place with an American consortium earlier this month, although they did not provide a clue to the eventual outcome.
"Bill Kenwright has taught me what it means to be an Evertonian," Moshiri said.
"There has never been a more level playing field in the Premier League than now."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has put together an impressive squad, including spending a club record £28m to sign striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
Silverware continues to elude them. Everton were beaten by Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup last month and remain without a major trophy since they won the FA Cup in 1995.
Chief football writer Phil McNulty
The announcement that Farhad Moshiri is to be Everton's new major shareholder ends a decade-long search for investment by chairman Bill Kenwright.
Moshiri has bought a 49.9% stake in the club and has promised new investment - which indicates there may be even further new arrivals in the Goodison Park boardroom in the months ahead.
Kenwright has consistently stated he would step aside if the right investor could be found and believes he has found the "perfect partner" in the 60-year-old billionaire who sold his 15% share in Arsenal to his business associate Alisher Usmanov for around £200m on Friday.
For Moshiri's part, it means he can now exert the power and influence his money could never buy at Arsenal, where he and Usmanov could not wrest control from majority shareholder Stan Kroenke.
There will be some major items on the new Everton owner's agenda when he settles to his task, namely the next move on whether the club moves ground or considers redeveloping Goodison Park - and also how to keep the club's most coveted players, with top scorer Romelu Lukaku and England pair John Stones and Ross Barkley expected to attract serious interest this summer.
For Everton, however, they will hope Moshiri's arrival will finally provide them with the financial power they have lacked to threaten the elite at the top of the Premier League.
More than 30 others were injured in the powerful blast in the west of the city.
Security sources said the bus was carrying members of the Afghan intelligence agency, the NDS.
Meanwhile a remote-controlled roadside bomb in the eastern province of Kunar killed another Afghan intelligence service officer and three others.
Separately, Nato says five of its soldiers have been killed in attacks. Four were killed in the east, while a fifth died in the south.
Wednesday's suicide blast in Kabul damaged the bus, several other vehicles and the windows of nearby buildings.
The bomber's body and his destroyed motorbike lay next to the bus. The Taliban have said they carried out the attack.
The security forces cordoned off the area, which is near ministries, the Afghan parliament and offices run by foreign companies.
"Some of the wounded are in critical condition and the death toll may rise," Mohammad Zahir, head of Kabul's crime investigation unit, told the Reuters news agency.
President Hamid Karzai issued a statement condemning the blast.
In the explosion in Kunar province, insurgents detonated the roadside bomb as Afghan intelligence officer Col Sahib Zada's car drove by on his way to his office, police told the BBC. His driver and two bodyguards also died.
The BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul says Col Zada was a powerful intelligence chief who had captured dozens of important militant commanders.
Col Zada, who came from Kunar, was the deputy NDS chief of that province and belonged to a powerful tribe there.
Our correspondent says Col Zada was one of the few provincial officials able to defy the security risk and live outside the provincial capital in his village.
Afghan security officials are often the target of bombings and shootings.
Security forces say the insurgents are stepping up attacks on them as US forces prepare to begin reducing troop numbers in the country from July this year.
Wednesday's bombing is the third time security forces have been targeted in Kabul in less than a month. The capital has been largely spared the worst of the attacks, especially since a "ring of steel" was erected in the city before parliamentary elections in September.
Violence in Afghanistan has reached levels not seen since 2001 when the US ousted the Taliban-led government.
She shared the news on her Facebook page, saying the cartoon was a "big part of growing up".
The film will be directed by Bill Condon, who previously made Twilight: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2.
The animated version of Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991 and received six Academy Award nominations.
There is currently no release date for the new version.
Revealing the news, Watson said: "I'm finally able to tell you... that I will be playing Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast!
"It almost feels surreal that I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There'. My six-year-old self is on the ceiling. Heart bursting."
We know Emma Watson acts, we know she models and we know she's a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. But singing?
She admitted herself that it's "time to start some singing lessons".
This won't be the first time a Disney classic is being made into a live action movie and could be seen as part of a new trend for the studio.
2015 sees the release of Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella, with Downton Abbey's Lily James playing the title character.

The figure is 54% higher than in England and Wales.
NHS Health Scotland looks annually at the nation's relationship with alcohol - bringing together information on sales, price, consumption, deaths and hospital admissions.
Alcohol-related death rates were six times higher in the 10% most-deprived areas than in the 10% least deprived.
The report highlighted inequalities, with alcohol-related stays in hospital nearly nine times higher in the 10% most-deprived areas than in the 10% least deprived areas in 2015/16.
In 2016, the equivalent of 10.5 litres of pure alcohol were sold per adult in Scotland, representing 20.2 units per adult per week.
Official guidelines advise against men and women drinking more than 14 units a week on a regular basis.
NHS Health Scotland said this meant enough alcohol was sold last year in Scotland for every adult to exceed the weekly guideline by 44% every week of the year.
Sales of alcohol per adult per week were 17% greater in Scotland than in England and Wales - although the rate, which had increased between 2013 and 2015, returned to a similar level as in 2013.
The alcohol-related death rate was more than twice as high in men as in women, with 30 deaths per 100,000 of the population in men compared with 13.8 deaths for women.
Public health intelligence adviser Lucie Giles, lead author of the report, said: "It is worrying that as a nation we buy enough alcohol for every person in Scotland to exceed the weekly drinking guideline substantially.
"This has harmful consequences for individuals, their family and friends as well as wider society and the economy.
"The harm that alcohol causes to our health is not distributed equally; the harmful effects are felt most by those living in the most disadvantaged areas in Scotland.
"Alcohol has become more affordable in recent years as disposable income has increased."
The report's authors also highlighted some "encouraging" findings, with self-reported consumption data showing the proportion of people drinking at harmful levels had fallen while the proportion of non-drinkers had risen.
Meanwhile, the proportion of children reporting drinking in the last week had fallen over time, according to the study.
For 13-year-olds, it dropped from 23% in 2002 to 4% in 2015, and for 15-year-olds from 46% in 2002 to 17% in 2015.
Rates of driving under the influence have fallen consistently over time, from 21.8 per 10,000 population in 2004/05 to 10.2 per 10,000 population in 2015/16.
Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell, said: "This report shows that, whilst some progress has been made in tackling alcohol misuse, we need to do more.
"Over the last few years, more than half of alcohol sold in supermarkets and off-licences was sold at less than 50p per unit and enough alcohol was sold in the off-trade alone to exceed the weekly drinking guideline by a considerable amount.
"That is why we need minimum unit pricing, which will largely impact on the off-trade and will increase the price of the cheap, high-strength alcohol."
Alcohol Focus Scotland chief executive Alison Douglas, said: "Alcohol is so cheap and widely available that it's easy to forget how it can damage our health.
"We need to introduce this long-delayed policy as soon as possible to improve Scotland's health, cut crime and save lives."
Russell Greaves gave first aid to 19-year-old Sarah Hicks on the pitch after her father left with her younger sister in an ambulance.
After giving evidence at the new inquests, he addressed her mother and father, Jenni and Trevor, in court.
He said Sarah was "with someone who cared and was not alone".
The detective constable, who was at the match as a spectator, said his words "could not remove their sense of loss, pain or utter devastation" but he wanted "to take this opportunity to say to them that I did my very best for Sarah in the circumstances - I could not have done more".
On Tuesday, Trevor Hicks described to the inquests in Warrington how he gave his daughter Sarah and her 15-year-old sister Vicki mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as they lay unconscious.
He told the court he moved from one daughter to the other, shouting their names and asking for help before taking the "very difficult decision" to travel to hospital with Vicki, leaving Sarah behind.
The sisters were among 96 fans who were fatally injured in a crush at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
The previous deal was rejected by the Colombian people in a popular vote on 2 October.
The revised agreement has been submitted to Congress for approval, rather than put to a popular vote.
The deal is aimed at ending five decades of armed conflict, which has killed more than 260,000 people and left millions internally displaced.
The revised deal was signed in a low-key ceremony in the capital, Bogota, and then handed to the president of the Congress.
The ceremony was deliberately kept much smaller than the signing of the previous agreement on 26 September, which was attended by regional heads of state and the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.
About 800 people were invited to Thursday's ceremony in Colon Theatre rather than the 2,500 who attended the previous ceremony in the port city of Cartagena.
As Farc leader Rodrigo Londono, better known as Timochenko, and President Juan Manuel Santos shook hands after taking turns to sign the document, with a pen made from a bullet, the guests rose to their feet and chanted "Si se pudo" ("Yes, we could").
Timochenko said the agreement "put a definite end to the war so we can confront our difference in a civilised manner".
President Santos said the revised agreement was "better" than the previous one because it addressed many of the concerns of those who had voted "No" in the October referendum.
He warned that its implementation could not be delayed by a single minute and asked the guests to imagine for a moment what it would be like to return to war with the Farc.
He said he expected Congress to vote on the deal as early as next week.
After four years of formal talks between rebel and government negotiators, the two sides reached an agreement earlier this year.
The deal was signed in an emotional ceremony on 26 September.
But Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos had said from the start of the negotiations that he wanted the Colombian people to have a say in the peace process.
He asked them to endorse or reject the peace agreement in a popular vote held on 2 October.
Polls had suggested the deal would pass by a comfortable margin but in a shock result it was narrowly rejected.
A bilateral ceasefire was extended until the end of the year to give the two sides time to plan their next steps.
President Santos met former President Alvaro Uribe, a vociferous opponent of the peace deal, to listen to his objections.
The government and the Farc then went back to the negotiating table to try to strike a new deal acceptable to those who had voted "no".
Changes were made to almost all of the 57 points in the original agreement.
The five main points which have been changed are:
The deal will be voted on in Congress, where the government has a solid majority, probably early next week, ministers say.
The Democratic Centre party, founded by ex-President Uribe, has already said it will vote "No".
Its leaders say that the changes are only "cosmetic" and object to the fact that the government has said the new deal is "final".
It wants more of its demands met, including harsher sentences for Farc rebels who have committed crimes.
It also demanded that the revised deal be put to another popular vote, which President Santos and the Farc have both ruled out.
Other parties in Congress have given the deal their backing, so it is expected to pass.
Jacob Jenkins was snacking on fruit at the Hartlepool restaurant when the grape got stuck, and attempts were made to dislodge it.
He later died at the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle, in October.
Newcastle Coroner Karen Dilks concluded that his death was accidental.
She said: "Jacob, who was two years old went with his family on what was intended to be a social occasion. Tragically, a completely unexpected and unintended event occurred.
"That was that Jacob, eating grapes that no-one considered any risk, then choked on one of those grapes and that led to a chain of events that tragically starved Jacob's brain of oxygen and that was the reason why he died.
"I can reach no other conclusion that this was in every sense a tragic accident. My conclusion therefore is one of accidental death."
She said the tragedy served as a warning about the "unexpected risks" of small children eating grapes.
The authorities said the woman had flown to Costa Rica from Peru.
She was arrested in a hotel in the Costa Rica's capital, San Jose.
Honduran officials said they believed that the five Syrians held on Tuesday were refugees, and there was no evidence they were Islamist militants.
The five were detained when it became clear they were carrying stolen Greek passports. They told police that four of them were students and one a professional worker.
A sixth man was turned away from Honduras on Friday on arrival by plane from El Salvador, and was sent back.
In Paraguay, police detained a seventh Syrian man on Sunday who was also travelling on a stolen Greek passport.
Migration experts say that for several years migrants from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other countries have tried to enter the US through Central America and Mexico.
But news of the Syrians' arrests is sparking alarm in the US, where some fear that militants may use the same smuggling routes.
Edmund, who was expected to play two singles rubbers, injured his back during practice in Birmingham.
His absence means Evans, 25, features in the GB team alongside Andy Murray, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot.
On Friday, Evans will play world number six Kei Nishikori, whom he beat in the first round of the 2013 US Open.
British number one Murray will kick off the tie against world number 87 Taro Daniel.
If Britain beat Japan they will face either Kazakhstan or world number one Novak Djokovic's Serbia.
Russell Fuller - BBC Radio 5 live tennis correspondent
Davis Cup captain Leon Smith waited until the very last moment to confirm Dan Evans' place in the line-up. He said it was a 'difficult call, but the right call' as Kyle Edmund's slight back injury was just too much of a risk.
It's another cruel slice of luck for Edmund - who also missed last year's semi-final after rolling an ankle in practice - but Evans will relish the opportunity to perform on a hard, indoor court in his home city.

Accies missed the opportunity to extend their 15-point cushion over the bottom side as United keeper Eiji Kawashima beat away Ali Crawford's late penalty.
But United are now 12 points adrift of second-bottom Motherwell.
Accies' Mikey Devlin was sent off in injury-time for a second bookable offence, but there was no time for United to press home their advantage.

A draw was an accurate reflection of a dour match, with goal-scoring opportunities scarce, but the point does United little good.
United have a game in hand over Motherwell, beaten 2-0 at home by Kilmarnock, but a massive game now looms when the bottom two face each other at Tannadice on Tuesday.
Though Mixu Paatelainen's side have only lost once in their last five matches, they desperately need to win games against their relegation rivals.
They may feel they were denied the opportunity to do that when referee Steven Maclean waved away their penalty claims after Coll Donaldson appeared to be tripped.
But although Accies had to survive a couple of late goalmouth scrambles, the only shot Michael McGovern had to to deal with was a poked effort by Simon Murray, which the keeper turned round the post.
Indeed, Kawashima turned out to be their hero after Dougie Imrie was adjudged to have been fouled in the penalty area with four minutes left.
Crawford, Accies' most accomplished player, fired the spot-kick down the middle but the keeper's flailing legs kept it out.
A spokeswoman told the Associated Press that it would begin as an accident inquiry because there was no evidence so far to link it to terrorism.
The authorities, she said, were "not at all" favouring the theory the Airbus A320 was brought down deliberately.
Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo crashed in the Mediterranean Sea on 19 May, killing all 66 people on board.
Earlier on Monday, Egyptian investigators said the damaged memory chips from the plane's cockpit voice and data recorders had been flown to France.
Technicians at France's BEA air accident investigations agency will attempt to clean and repair them, and then send them back to Egypt for analysis.
The flight recorders were recovered from the plane's wreckage, about 290km (180 miles) north of the Egyptian coast and at a depth of about 3,000m (9,800ft).
The cause of the crash remains a mystery.
Automated electronic messages sent by the plane revealed that smoke detectors went off in a toilet and in the avionics area below the cockpit, minutes before the plane's signal was lost.
Radar data shows the plane turned 90 degrees left and then 360 degrees to the right, dropping from 11,300m (37,000ft) to 4,600m (15,000ft) and then 3,000m (10,000ft) before it disappeared.
What do we know so far?
Who were the victims?

John Roder: "It was goalless when these two sides met earlier this season, and another 0-0 draw on Sunday has to be a strong possibility.
"Southampton are struggling for goals at St Mary's in the Premier League this season, while Leicester have scored only eight on their travels.
"Leicester's away record this season is in stark contrast to their title-winning campaign. A draw this Sunday would be a good result given the fact they come into the weekend in the bottom six.
"Claude Puel may very well inherit the "Tinkerman" nickname from Claudio Ranieri, for the Saints manager has not yet selected an unchanged side this season."
Twitter: @johnrodercomm
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "It's two teams with difficulties in the Premier League, in the same situation. We want a good result and the points. It's important to have good concentration for this.
"They will want to counter-attack against us. We know this game.
"It's a physical game also and it's important to analyse them well, have good concentration and the right attitude, like the last three games."
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "Our goal is to get 40 points as soon as possible. Now we have two away matches and we will try to do our best.
"Sooner or later we will start to win away."
Claude Puel's rotation policy is not working. Meanwhile, Leicester's form remains completely up and down.
The Foxes still have not won away from home, and do not look anything like the team they were last season. I do not see that changing here.

The Proteas face England in three one-day internationals, the first of which is at Headingley on Wednesday.
Hosts England are one of the favourites to win the 2017 Champions Trophy, starting on 1 June, having exited at the group stages of the 2015 World Cup.
"They did really well to come back from that," said De Villiers.
Eoin Morgan's side have lost just one one-day series at home, against world champions Australia, since defeat by Bangladesh knocked them out of the World Cup.
"They are a really talented group of players - the way they came back from that earned a lot of respect around the world," added De Villiers.
"They must be one of the favourites, in their home country and playing some really good cricket of late."
South Africa are top of the ODI rankings but De Villiers, 33, said his side will be wary of facing England's "stand-out player" Ben Stokes.
All-rounder Stokes, 25, scored his maiden Twenty20 century for Rising Pune Supergiant in the Indian Premier League, also taking 12 wickets, but will not play in the final after being recalled by England.
"He's definitely got something special about him," said De Villiers.
"A lot of guys lose their way in the IPL, and others find the next level in their game - Ben Stokes definitely lifted his game and I think it would have done him the world of good."
South Africa also take on England in three Twenty20 internationals and four Tests this summer, but De Villiers has ruled himself out of the Test series in order to rest.
"I haven't retired - but I'm not going to change my decision," he said.
"I'll look indecisive, but it's important that I'm feeling physically and mentally healthy, and that's what I decided on."
A mystery borrower slipped the book discreetly through the letterbox at the county library at the weekend.
It was checked out in 1932.
County librarian Ciaran Mangan said he was just delighted to see it back.
''It was an item that had been out on loan effectively since it was published and put into stock and the system in 1932," he explained.
"As good Christians, we decided we would waive the fine if the person appears in person and confesses to having returned the book."
There are no details on the original borrower because the library's computerised records only date back to 1994.
However, someone may have had their conscience pricked because the overdue book is a pictorial record of the 31st International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin in 1932.
The 50th International Eucharistic Congress takes place in Dublin next month.
The book has generated a lot of interest.
"We believe it was well cared for and was probably shelved with the family's collection, getting lost among their own books," said Mr Mangan.
"We have it on display as it is attracting a lot of attraction."
The system will be re-launched next week with farmers asked to submit Basic Payment Scheme claims on paper forms.
Farmers say they have struggled with the £154m website for months.
Mark Grimshaw, chief executive of Defra's Rural Payments Agency (RPA), said the decision had been made "having listened intently" to farmers.
He made the announcement on BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme.
Defra made the decision to "blend" new and existing forms and processes "to ensure that everyone who wants to make a claim this year can do so", the chief executive added.
The Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) is the European Union's biggest rural payments subsidy scheme for the farming industry.
Defra has said the registration part of the system will continue. The RPA will then input the data on to the system.
However, a digital "mapping tool" to measure farmland boundaries - which has been the most problematic element of the system - has been replaced with paper maps and forms.
Farmers and their agents will be able to receive assistance at 50 digital support centres in England, which will now act as drop-in centres.
I usually leave it to the last minute with the paper forms because it only takes about three hours to do, but so far I have spent three days doing the online version and I am only halfway through it.
We don't have all the codes - we have to put down what you're growing in each field and a code for each crop.
It is just lack of information really, there is just no information and the people on the switchboard when you ask the helpline are as much in the dark as we are.
Also talking to Farming Today, Guy Smith, from the National Farmers Union, said he had found the mapping programme "beyond comprehension".
"Our patience is worn really thin now and if we think that they've launched this again half baked, not ready to go, without proper back-up we will be complaining in the strongest terms," he said.
Brian Glick, editor in chief of Computer Weekly, said: "The system hasn't been permanently abandoned, it's an embarrassment rather than a failure."
For anyone who's been farming for a decade or more, this kind of Defra IT system fiasco will be horribly familiar.
The head of the Tenant Farmers Association has called it "the ghost of Christmas past".
When the Common Agricultural Policy was last reformed in 2005, the £350m, implementation IT system disintegrated.
Farmers ended up not being paid the EU funds they were entitled to, or they got paid the wrong amounts.
It took years to sort out. The system was dismantled and the Rural Payments Agency was told that it "must learn" from its costly mistake.
This time another eye-watering sum has been paid to technology suppliers and consultants: £154m.
Defra officials had reassured farmers they would ensure there was "no repeat of the 2005 payments fiasco".
So it is time to ditch the keyboard and download the claim forms.
Scotland had already prepared its paper-based forms. The question will be asked: why was there no plan B in England?
The European Commission has extended the deadline for basic payment scheme applications until 15 June.
"We've put in place some processes which we know (farmers) are familiar with, so they can have the certainty of being able to submit their applications on time," Mr Grimshaw added.
Farmers have repeatedly been reassured the online system would be fixed.
Defra has said two forms will be available to download from the RPA's website from 23 March.
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have their own rural payment schemes.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his close ally was back in the shadow cabinet after suffering "a great deal".
Ms Abbott was briefly replaced by Lyn Brown and later revealed she had been diagnosed with the condition in 2015.
Mr Corbyn told ITV's Peston on Sunday she was "getting all the support necessary".
During the election campaign, Ms Abbott faced criticism for her performance after she stumbled several times during interviews and appeared unable to give detailed answers.
In one interview with LBC Radio, she mistakenly said plans to boost police numbers by 10,000 would cost £300,000. It led to a barrage of criticism from the Conservatives who said she could not "add up".
She also pulled out of an interview with BBC's Woman's Hour with just a few minutes' notice as unconfirmed reports circulated that some in the party leadership had lost confidence in her.
Just 48 hours before polling day, Labour said Ms Abbott was taking a period of sick leave and would be replaced "indefinitely" by Lyn Brown.
After the election she told the Guardian her condition was "out of control" during the campaign.
The Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP, who increased her majority in the June 8 election, said she struggled after facing six or seven interviews in a row without eating enough food - vital to managing her blood sugar levels.
Mr Corbyn said: "Diane suffers from type 2 diabetes and suffered a great deal during the latter part of the election campaign.
"I had a chat with her during that period and we felt that it was right that she took a break from intensive campaigning at a national level."
All 118 passengers and 17 crew on board the Airbus A330-220 were evacuated at Urgench International Airport.
The aircraft was searched by Uzbek security forces but no explosive device was found, Egyptian officials said.
Three weeks ago, an EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo carrying 66 people crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.
The cause of the crash remains a mystery, although Egyptian officials have said an act of terrorism is more likely than a technical failure.
French investigators said last week that signals from one of the plane's black boxes had been detected about 290km (180 miles north) of the Egyptian coast.
The chairman of EgyptAir, Safwat Mussallam, told the AFP news agency that Flight MS955 left Cairo at 21:55 GMT (23:55 Cairo time) on Tuesday and was scheduled to land in Beijing at 07:34 GMT (15:34 Beijing time) on Wednesday.
During the flight, an anonymous caller telephoned security agents in Cairo to say a bomb was on board the aircraft and the pilot was told to land at the nearest airport.
The plane eventually touched down at Urgench, about 840km (600 miles) west of the Uzbek capital Tashkent, at 03:00 GMT (08:00 Tashkent time) on Wednesday, Uzbekistan Airways said in a statement.
"The aircraft was evacuated, searched and the result of the search was negative, we were told by the Uzbek authorities, who gave us the authorisation to take off again," Mr Mussallam said.
"We must take any warning seriously," he added.
Egyptian officials told the Associated Press news agency that the plane resumed its journey to Beijing about four hours after landing in Urgench.
The official Chinese news agency, Xinhua, also said the bomb threat was a hoax.
American Spieth edged into the lead with a birdie on the final hole that sealed a seven-under-par 63.
Rory McIlroy shot a three-under-par 67, while England's Paul Casey finished on two under par with 68.
Defending champion Russell Knox of Scotland scored a one-under-par 69.
Harrington, 45, who won the Open Championship in 2007 and 2008, when he also won the PGA Championship, shot four birdies and no bogies on Thursday.
Spieth, the Masters and US Open champion in 2015, scored eight birdies and one bogey on what was his first appearance at River Highlands, Connecticut.
Early pacesetter Brett Stegmaier was reeled in and ended tied for second with fellow American Johnson Wagner, who like Stegmaier mixed seven birdies with a bogey.
World number four Jason Day of Australia scored a disappointing two-over 72 after three bogeys and one double bogey, with England's Luke Donald a shot further back on three over.
Cambridgeshire Police were called to Kimbolton Fireworks' storage unit at Little Stukeley, Cambridgeshire, at 10:00 GMT on Sunday.
Director Stuart Adlam said 100 to 200 smaller orders for schools, Scout and Rotary groups were affected.
The company specialises in big displays such as the London 2012 Olympics.
Mr Adlam said its 14 staff were "working hours of overtime" to fulfil orders.
He added they were "devastated to hear about the theft, after all their hard work over last 12 months getting ready for this November season".
The police said they believed the thieves broke into the storage unit between 17:30 BST on Saturday and 10:00 GMT the next day.
Three vans and 24 pallets of fireworks, boxed and ready for delivery on Monday, were stolen.
The boxes all feature the Kimbolton Fireworks' logo.
Company founder Ron Lancaster said: "Obviously the people knew what they were looking for.
"They managed to get into the back of the site... they then broke into the office where they found the keys to the vans [and] loaded the vans with the firework packs."
Mr Adlam said the stolen fireworks were a mix of Category 2 and Category 3 fireworks, which can be used by the public for displays.
However, no Category 4 fireworks were stolen, which can only be supplied to professionals for large public displays
The company specialises in such events, including Trafalgar 200, New Year's Day celebrations in London and Dublin's St Patrick's Day Skyfest.
This year, it is also supplying 60 large scale Bonfire Night events around the UK.
Youth Beatz, staged in Dumfries, has secured two-year support of £49,000 from the Young Start Lottery Fund.
Organisers described it as "unbelievable news" which would help with planning for the event.
Preparations are already under way for this year's festival which will be held in the Dock Park on 12 August.
The grant will allow expansion and improvements at the event and its associated "youth engagement" programme The Toon.
Dumfries Provost Ted Thompson said: "Youth Beatz and The Toon are much more than just a music festival.
"It is a community enterprise, central to our region's annual events calendar, allowing young people to take an active role in their community.
"The range of activities and support available during the fringe festival in the run up to the event is incredible, helping our young people to fulfil their potential."
Drogba and Lampard were team-mates at Chelsea from 2004 to 2012, winning three Premier League titles together.
"I will be happy to see him," Drogba said. "I think he still belongs to us.
"He is a Chelsea player, for what he did. For me, he is part of the history of the club."
Chelsea's record goalscorer Lampard, 36, left Stamford Bridge in the summer after 13 seasons. He signed for New York City FC before he was loaned to Manchester City in a six-month deal.

Meanwhile, Drogba, 36, rejoined the Blues on a one-year deal after leaving Turkish side Galatasaray.
The Ivorian says Lampard is guaranteed to receive a warm reception if he plays in Sunday's game at the Etihad Stadium.
"The supporters know what he gave for the club," Drogba said. "So I know, for sure, the reaction will be good."
League leaders Chelsea currently have a five-point advantage over Manchester City, for whom Lampard made his first appearance of the season in last weekend's draw with Arsenal.

The military said three civilians, including UN staff, and two soldiers were wounded in the attack.
It has prompted the UN to temporarily suspend aid deliveries in Borno state, where more than two million people have been displaced by the insurgency.
The UN says thousands of children are severely malnourished in the region.
Earlier this month the UN's children agency warned that tens of thousands of children would die if treatment did not reach them soon.
Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has lost most of the territory it controlled 18 months ago, is fighting to overthrow the government.
Its seven-year insurgency has left 20,000 people dead, mainly in the country's north-east.
The wounded are in a stable condition and are being treated in hospital in the state capital Maiduguri, according to a statement from the military.
"The convoy was travelling from Bama to Maiduguri in Borno State... returning from delivering desperately needed assistance" at the time of the ambush, Unicef said.
"This was not only an attack on humanitarian workers. It is an attack on the people who most need the assistance and aid that these workers were bringing," it added.
Boko Haram never really went away, contrary to the Nigerian government saying that the group had been defeated "technically" or even "decisively".
The group has definitely been weakened in the joint military offensive by Nigeria and its neighbours, losing swathes of territory in Nigeria's north-east.
But attacks against civilians and security forces have seen a resurgence in recent months. Since June, the attacks have even been promoted by media outlets of the so-called Islamic State, to which Boko Haram's leaders have sworn allegiance.
It does not help that Nigeria is now fighting a separate conflict against oil militants in the southern Niger Delta region.

The 30-year-old had hinted at retirement after winning a silver medal at the Rio Olympics in August.
In a post on social media, Ennis-Hill - also a double world champion - said it was "one of the toughest decisions I've had to make".
"I've always said I wanted to leave on a high and have no regrets," she added.
Ennis-Hill's heptathlon gold was one of the most iconic moments of London 2012's 'Super Saturday'.
But she missed out on retaining her Olympic title in Rio by 35 points to Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam. Speaking afterwards, she said she would not rush a decision over ending her career.
In her statement on Thursday, she said "retiring now is right".
"I want to thank my family and incredible team, who have spent so much of their time supporting me and enabling me to achieve my dreams," she added.
"Also, a huge thank you to all those people who have supported and followed my career over the years."
After winning Olympic gold in London, Ennis-Hill had her first child, Reggie, in 2014 and won a second world title just 13 months later.

Former British sprinter and Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a sad day but it's also a day where we should celebrate what a phenomenal athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill was. She gave so much to sport, achieved so much, so many inspirational moments throughout her career.
"She is a normal girl, she has achieved things that are exceptional and mind-blowing. It is only when you sit back and reflect that you realise how mind-blowing they are."
BBC athletics commentator Brendan Foster described her as "one of the all-time British greats".
He added: "She was carrying the whole nation on her shoulders going into London 2012 and the pressure on her was immense, like nobody else. But she delivered an indelible memory which we shall never forget.
"She has been a pleasure to watch and to be around. The sport will miss her, the British public will miss her but I'm sure she is doing the right thing.
"It's a sad day for the sport - but a great day for her."
Former British heptathlete Kelly Sotherton told BBC Sport she thinks Ennis-Hill "will love not having to go to the track".
She added: "Two years ago she had her first child and she is a very family-oriented person. She's quite private, she's not flash, she wants to have more children. So I think she will slot into her life outside of the sport.
"I hope she continues to play a part in sport, because she has a lot of great attributes that she can share to help future generations."

Foster also believes she will have a future role to play in athletics.
"The sport will be foolish not to keep her on at some level, she is a huge asset," he said.
"She has been up, she's been down, she has won, she's lost, but at every point she has conducted herself magnificently.
"Everyone says she is a great role model for women - and she is - but she has been a role model for men, too. To look at her, she is so tiny standing next to many international athletes, but inside that smiling exterior she has internal steel. Male and female athletes think the world of her."
Ennis-Hill's coach Toni Minichiello said she was "one of our sporting greats", and the manner of her retirement - "walking out of the stadium by stepping off the podium" - was "fitting".
"We've known for a long time this day was coming. Many sports people hold on too long," he added.
"Despite all the fame and money she's never forgotten where she's come from - most of her friends she's had from school days. She's humble, she grafts, she pushes herself hard and she never gives up."
British Athletics described her record as an athlete as "phenomenal", adding: "And that's without considering the challenges of returning from pregnancy to win world gold and Olympic silver."
Retirement means she will not return to the stadium where she won Olympic gold for the World Championships in London in August 2017.

Ennis-Hill's first medal came at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne at the age of 20, when she took bronze behind fellow British athlete Kelly Sotherton.
She then missed out on the medals at the 2007 World Championships and had a year out with injury - missing the 2008 Beijing Olympics - before beginning a period of domination with gold at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
She followed that up with another gold at the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona, Spain and then won silver at the 2011 Worlds in Daegu, South Korea before heading to her home Olympics in London in 2012 as an overwhelming favourite.
She delivered gold on 'Super Saturday', comfortably winning in a British and Commonwealth record.
After missing the 2014 season to have her son, she returned to win her second world title in Beijing in 2015 and then finished second at the Rio Olympics this summer.

If the timing of her retirement is no great surprise - the emergence of Nafi Thiam at this summer's Olympics moved heptathlon to a new level - Ennis-Hill's career has still been about the gloriously unexpected: winning world titles and Olympic golds when she was supposed to be too small to succeed, overcoming stress fractures that cost her early championship chances, beating women once banned for doping and others who were only retrospectively sanctioned.
Her triumph at London 2012 was one of the iconic moments of an impossible fortnight; to then win back her world crown as the mother of a young son was arguably a greater achievement still. In a tainted era, a splendid role model. British sport has been lucky to have her.
British Athletics performance director Neil Black: "The entire performance team of coaches, athletes and support staff will miss her at events.
"Not only has she competed at the highest level, but she has been a warm and positive presence within the GB team and a great example to the younger team members."

Exeter average 3.8 tries and 29.8 points per game, while Wasps average four tries and 31 points. It's set to be an entertaining match.
The Chiefs are a classy outfit with a good possession game, and have people like England winger Jack Nowell and Thomas Waldrom, who can score tries. Nowell has been sensational since he came back from his injury.
But you expect Wasps to be looking for quick ball, with their X-factor players. They have speed of thought, speed of hands. They have players who can punish you.
Wing Christian Wade has scored more than anyone in the Premiership this season (17), and they have the likes of centre Elliot Daly and fly-half Danny Cipriani too.
It will all come down to who makes the best decisions on the day when the pressure is at its most intense.
And in that respect, both sides have got good generals - fly-half Gareth Steenson for Exeter and Premiership player of the year Jimmy Gopperth for Wasps, even when he's playing at 12, like he will be on Saturday.
They just don't have poor games, either of them. They're not international superstars, but they know the club game. You suspect that, for all the talent around them, they're the first names on the team sheet every week.
They're guys who stay cool and do what is expected of them, who can keep their head on the field and always seem to know what to do.
And, as kickers, you just don't expect them to miss.
Steenson can sometimes have the wind to contend with down at Sandy Park but he always seems to compensate.
Exeter now have a more expansive game than when they were first establishing themselves in the Premiership. They have evolved, they have learned from their experiences and they are now the envy of a lot of clubs.
They create a fantastic atmosphere at their home games. And, as a team, the sum of their parts just seems a bit stronger. It isn't rocket science. They just do what they know works for them.
They also have the advantage of having been there last year, which will stand them in good stead. They probably let Saracens get too far in front early on last year and they will have learned from that.
They've probably already beaten the best team to get there by putting out Sarries. They coped with intense pressure against them.
I can see Exeter getting an early lead, going three, six, nine points up, then Wasps hitting back.
But they were hurt by what happened to them against Leinster (in the European Champions Cup) when they found themselves 22-3 down at the break and never quite recovered from that.
They have to avoid the same sort of thing happening again. And I just fancy Exeter to win it.
As well as his 30 tries in 65 appearances for England [more than half of them at Twickenham], Jeremy Guscott was a key part of the all-conquering Bath side which won 10 end-of-season cup finals in 13 terms between 1984 and 1996.

The case against Gordon Head, 32, a DJ from St Annes, Lancashire, accused of child rape, has been dropped.
Separate proceedings against Nicholas Hegarty, 35, charged with sexual assault, will not go ahead.
Prosecutors offered no evidence on both after Det Con John Cragg was arrested for misconduct in a public office.
Mr Head was due to go on trial at Preston Crown Court last week.
In a separate case Mr Hegarty, of Cleveleys, had been accused of a sex attack on a 38-year-old woman.
The case surrounding Mr Cragg's alleged affair was put on hold while the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reviewed all the cases involving the officer who worked on a specialist rape and sexual assault inquiry team in Blackpool.
Mr Cragg resigned last month.
A CPS spokeswoman confirmed that no evidence was offered against Mr Head or Mr Hegarty in their cases at Preston Crown Court.
"The CPS carried out a further detailed review into the evidence in these cases after it recently received information about the conduct of a former police officer involved in both cases," she said.
"Following consultation with senior investigating officers and prosecution counsel we reached the decision in both cases that as a result of the impact of this information on the prosecution's case there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction."
Head of Professional Standards for Lancashire Police, Supt Martyn Leveridge, said: "We are bitterly disappointed for everyone concerned that these two cases will not now be heard in full by a court of law.
"We fully understand the reasons why the Crown Prosecution Service have made that decision."
The authority has agreed to start talks with the Home Office to take up to 10 families over the next four years.
Two families will initially be resettled in the Galashiels area with other places considered in future.
Councillor Frances Renton said she was confident local people would make the new arrivals feel welcome.
"Ideally I would like the Borders to do more but we are doing what is in line with other local authorities and what is in line with what is coming from the Scottish government," she said.
"Overall, the response has been very positive - I have had a number of phone calls and emails offering help."
She said there was opposition to the scheme but that had been the view of "very few" people.
"I think the Borders will do what the Borders do - and that is warm to these people and make them feel very welcome," she said.
Scotland is to take approximately 350 of the 1,000 Syrian refugees who are due to arrive in Britain before Christmas.
Mr Hollande also called for an end to the decades-long US trade embargo against Cuba.
He said the embargo badly damaged development of the island.
Mr Hollande is the first French president to visit Cuba since 1898, and the first Western European leader on the island since the 1980s.
President Hollande and Fidel Castro spoke for an hour, according to Liberation journalist Laure Bretton who tweeted his comments (in French) after the meeting.
"I had in front of me a man who had made history," Mr Hollande told her.
He later met Fidel's brother and current President Raul Castro.
Speaking earlier on Monday at the University of Havana, Mr Hollande said France would do its utmost to ensure that "the measures which have so badly harmed Cuba's development can finally be repealed".
He was referring to the US trade embargo, which remains in place, although relations between the US and Cuba have improved in recent months.
The diplomatic thaw between Cuba and the US was announced in December.
Mr Hollande announced plans to double the number of scholarships to enable Cuban students to continue their studies in France, as part of attempts to increase academic and scientific co-operation between the two nations.
The president's first appointment on Monday morning was to bestow France's highest award, the Legion of Honour, on the head of the Catholic Church in Cuba, Cardinal Jaime Ortega.
The Cuban Catholic Church has acted as a mediator between dissidents and the Communist government.
The BBC's Will Grant in Havana says that unlike some other European countries, France has long maintained reasonably good relations with Cuba and wants to benefit from the new economic openness.
After landing at Havana airport, Mr Hollande said the visit was a moment of "great emotion".
Before arriving, he told reporters that France sought to "be the first among European nations, and the first among Western nations, to be able to say to the Cubans that we will be at their side if they decide themselves to take needed steps toward opening up".
Mr Hollande later travelled to Haiti.
A number of high-ranking US and European politicians have visited Cuba since 17 December, when the US and Cuba announced they would move towards re-establishing diplomatic ties.
They include New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, EU Foreign Policy chief Federica Mogherini and top diplomats from Japan and Russia.
But Mr Hollande is the first Western European leader in Cuba since Spanish Prime Minister Felipe Gonzales in 1986.
Familiar scenes from the bilingual series, broadcast in Welsh on S4C as Y Gwyll, have been recreated at Aberystwyth University's Old College.
The new exhibition includes the police office shared by DCI Tom Mathias, played by Richard Harrington, and Mali Harries' character DI Mared Rhys.
Running alongside the exhibition, which runs until 22 December, are workshops.
The exhibition will also include a bloody murder scene, props used by the cast and a wall dedicated to a busy investigation noticeboard, including a map showing the areas of Ceredigion which have been used during the BAFTA Cymru award-winning series.
Dr Rhodri Llwyd Morgan, Pro Vice-Chancellor at Aberystwyth University, said the exhibition marks the first in a series of exhibitions which form part of an ambitious project to "bring new life to Old College."
"As we prepare to resubmit our funding bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund, we hope it will show the building's potential to be used as a unique exhibition space which will attract both locals and visitors," he said.
The third series of Hinterland has been filmed and will be broadcast on BBC Wales in early 2017. The Welsh language version Y Gwyll is currently being shown on S4C.
Andy Llewellyn was running down Infinity Park Way, near Chellaston Medical Centre, Derby, on Tuesday when he felt an "almighty slap" on his head.
He said his wound was treated by medical staff and he was given antibiotics.
The RSPB said it was rare that a bird is so "aggressive" but it was likely to have been protecting its chicks.
More on this and more stories from the East Midlands
Mr Llewellyn said he didn't see the bird but "heard the flapping of wings on my shoulder as it hit my head".
"I think I was a little bit dazed for a few moments. I put my hand on there and I had lots of blood," he added.
"I got home and went to the [NHS] walk-in centre and they said they had never seen anything like it.
"It's made me think a little bit more about the route I take... The ironic thing after the attack is that I did make my fastest time."
An RSPB spokesman said it was not possible to say for certain what type of bird it was, but added that such aggressive behaviour was "rare".
He said: "While clearly a distressing incident for the person involved, this is not usual behaviour.
"The jogger was in all probability running close to a nest, and as we are coming to the end of the breeding season when chicks are starting to fledge, the reaction of the bird was one of a protective parent."
As you approach the vast Satlok Ashram in Barwala, in Haryana state, it is hard to miss the thick, beautiful mist shrouded around the trees and crops in the distance.
But edging closer you will see vehicles lying abandoned on the side of the road with their windows smashed and others tipped over.
There is one road that leads to the ashram and that has now been blocked by the police.
The vehicles were used by the guru's supporters to form a barricade outside the ashram's main gate and police had to use bulldozers to get past them.
On Tuesday, stone-throwing supporters of the self-styled guru, known as Rampal, fought pitched battles with police here.
On Wednesday, police officers, dressed in riot gear and equipped with shields, were spread out across the farmland that surrounds the sprawling ashram.
The ground in front is littered with polythene bags, discarded clothes, papers, steel tumblers and even shoes - all testimony to the violence that has unfolded here.
Police say they believe Rampal is hiding somewhere in the imposing fortress-like ashram.
They want to arrest the 63-year-old guru who is on bail after being accused in a 2006 murder case. He faces contempt charges after failing to appear in court several times.
His followers have come from across India. Thousands are reported to still be inside the ashram to offer him protection and prevent his arrest, but slowly, many, fearing for their lives, are leaving.
Among them is Manoj Gothwal who travelled to the ashram from the western state of Gujarat with his sister, brother-in-law and nephew.
Mr Gothwal decided to make the visit to attend a series of spiritual classes led by Rampal.
"He [Rampal] says everyone is a good person and everyone is equal and we should respect all. That's something I liked about his teachings," he said.
But as the situation at the ashram worsened with police closing in and a dwindling supply of food, Mr Gothwal and his family decided they wanted to leave. He made it out early Wednesday morning.
"We were scared for our lives when the police attacked yesterday [Tuesday] with tear gas," he said.
"People in the ashram were lying on the floor and children were crying. And I was asking myself, 'Will I live or die?'," he added.
I ask Mr Gothwal, who has been a Rampal devotee for about a year, if he plans to continue to be a Rampal follower.
"It's hard to tell right now," he says, but adds that his goal was to come to the ashram "for knowledge and to become a better person. And that's been achieved".
On Wednesday, as more devotees were driven away in police trucks from the ashram, locals in Barwala town clapped and cheered on the streets.
Rampal is not a popular figure in the town.
Krishna Kumar, a restaurant owner in the town, compares the guru to al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
"He's like Bin Laden, using violence in god's name," he said.
Others agree and say that unlike other spiritual leaders in India, he has done nothing for the local community.
"He's a thug. He's done nothing for us," said farmer Banaram, who goes by one name and has land neighbouring Rampal's huge compound.
North Wales Police said the pedestrian died following a collision with a lorry at at the UPM plant in Shotton, at around 11:30 GMT on Monday.
A man is currently in custody helping police with inquiries.
The site is now closed as police and Health and Safety Executive investigators interview witnesses and staff.
General manager David Ingham said: "Our immediate thoughts are with the individual's family and colleagues.
"We will provide full support to all staff involved and investigate fully with all parties."
Championship leader Valentino Rossi is appealing against a penalty imposed for clashing with defending champion Marc Marquez, who came off his bike at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The sport's president Vito Ippolito described the atmosphere as "poisoned" before Sunday's race in Valencia.
Rossi starts at the back of the grid.
However, the Italian nine-time world champion has taken his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), seeking annulment or reduction of the penalty.
Rossi, 36, holds a narrow seven-point lead over Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo and must finish second if the Spaniard wins the race, in order to win the championship.
Before the race in Malaysia, Rossi accused Spaniard Marquez of deliberately trying to impede him during the Australian Grand Prix on 18 October in order to help compatriot Lorenzo.
A statement from the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) said a meeting, to also include team managers, has been called "given the exceptional circumstances".
Shuhei Nakamoto, vice president of Marquez's Honda team said on Monday that he hoped Rossi would "think it over and understand his mistake".
Ippolito previously warned the sport was "moving away from the tradition of pride in sportsmanship that is part of the heritage of motorcycling".
Moto GP standings
1. Valentino Rossi (Ita/Yamaha) 312 pts
2. Jorge Lorenzo (Spa/Yamaha) 305 pts
3. Marc Marquez (Esp/Honda) 222 pts
4. Dani Pedrosa (Spa/Honda) 190 pts
5. Andrea Iannone (Ita/Ducati) 188 pts
The hosts were overpowered up front and outfought at the breakdown, with driving mauls yielding tries for Duncan Casey, CJ Stander and Conor Murray.
Simon Zebo scored a controversial fourth, with fellow winger Keith Earls bagging a fifth.
Tom Heathcote scored Edinburgh's only points with a penalty three minutes in.
Twelve months ago at Meggetland, Edinburgh were overtaken by Cardiff Blues, effectively snuffing out their faint hopes of a sixth-place finish.
One year on, the outlook for Alan Solomons' side is substantially rosier as they chase European Champions Cup qualification, but this defeat highlighted the disparity between the Scots and the Pro12 title-chasers.
While the Munster line-up featured several Irish Six Nations champions, Edinburgh lost scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne to a chest injury pre-match and then Dave Denton.
Heathcote assumed kicking duties and put Edinburgh ahead after their brightest - and only - threatening spell in the away 22.
Ian Keatley levelled from the tee as the clock struck 20 minutes and, although Edinburgh were dominant in the scrum, their infringements and failure to repel the Munster maul were punished when the visitors' pack rumbled their way over, Casey the scorer.
Fly-half Keatley struck a sweet touchline conversion to hand his side a seven-point half-time lead.
Edinburgh continued to put themselves under pressure after the interval, struggling to exit to their 22 and shipping penalties as Munster dominated territory.
The scarlet-clad forwards mauled their way to the line again on 52 minutes, Stander grounding for his seventh league try of the season.
Keatley pushed the conversion wide, but Edinburgh wing Tim Visser was sin-binned after he transgressed at the breakdown in an effort to halt a blistering Munster counter attack.
Anthony Foley's side crossed for the third time as scrum-half Murray broke from yet another menacing maul, his half-back partner converting.
With Edinburgh's cover defence all at sea, Zebo then toed through a Felix Jones grubber before appearing to miss the ball altogether in his race to ground it before the dead ball line. However TMO Iain Ramage awarded the try.
Keatley struck the posts with his conversion attempt, but his neat rolling kick was fumbled by Phil Burleigh, allowing Earls to pounce for Munster's fifth.
The streetwise visitors continued to flex their muscles, vanquishing the memory of their opening-round loss to Edinburgh at Thomond Park, but could not score again.
With top-six rivals Connacht and Scarlets picking up one and four points from their respective fixtures, Edinburgh trail them in the standings by a point.
They have plenty to address before their European Challenge Cup semi-final against Dragons at Murrayfield on Friday.

Rodman found himself on the end of Shaun Whalley's cross in the sixth minute, heading the ball past George Long and into the bottom-right corner.
Wimbledon looked livelier in the second half and their best chance of an equaliser came from a Dean Parrett free-kick in the 56th minute but his effort sailed over.
Fatigue from Tuesday's 120-minute outing against Brentford in the EFL Cup showed as the home side struggled to find momentum in attack, failing to add to the point earned against Scunthorpe last weekend.
Paul Hurst's side dominated possession early on, with Rodman and Whalley frequently firing the ball at Long, who coped with the barrage well.
Shrewsbury's attack was just as punishing in the second half and Carlton Morris looked to extend their lead but his attempt was halted by on-loan Sheffield United keeper Long.

Carnival 56, which takes place on 12 and 13 August, is the first major music event at the park since BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2006.
Other acts include Dundee band Model Aeroplanes and there will be DJ sets from Basement Jaxx and Hot Chip.
Tickets for the festival go on general sale on Monday.
Festival director Craig Blyth said: "Mark Ronson is in a class of his own, few artists match the energy of Rudimental live and Clean Bandit are one of the biggest acts today.
"We're delighted to have them join us as headliners in Dundee on a bill which has real depth and quality.
"There is a huge buzz about the festival, with a few more surprises still to come, and know the artists will get a massive response when they hit Camperdown this August."
Current judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr and Keith Urban will return, along with host Ryan Seacrest.
Fox said the last season would act as a "celebratory event" paying tribute to former contestants, winners and fans.
American Idol was launched by Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell in 2002, based on their hit UK series Pop Idol.
The show, whose original judges were Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, paved the way for a wealth of TV talent contests including The X Factor and The Voice.
It launched the singing careers of inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson and stars including Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Adam Lambert.
The show's celebrity judges have included Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Steven Tyler, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres.
American Idol also propelled host Seacrest to fame. He began by co-hosting with Brian Dunkleman.
The singing competition drew 36 million viewers in its heyday in 2006, but ratings have fallen every year since then.
Viewing figures for the current season - which is set to reveal its winner later this week - have dipped to 11.6 million viewers.
Fox made the announcement as it launched its autumn TV schedule, which will feature the next season of hit hip-hop Empire, The Last Man on Earth and Rob Lowe's new series The Grinder.
The line-up also includes Ryan Murphy's new comedy-horror series Scream Queens, starring Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lea Michele, Gotham and the return of The X-Files.
The first minister officially opened the £64m second phase of the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales.
It means almost all specialist care for children will be under one roof in Cardiff for the first time.
Doctors say children from across Wales will benefit from a children's hospital "in the premier league" for the UK.
Dr Allan Wardhaugh, clinical director of acute child health in Cardiff and Vale, said it was tremendously exciting.
"The new building is spacious and provides comfort and dignity to the patients coming to us and it brings a group of clinicians who need to work with children together for the first time," he said.
"We aim to provide as many of the comforts of home as we can to make their stay better - certainly more than the children's wards I started work on.
"There are beds in all the rooms for parents to sleep in. It allows them a little more normality as these are stressful times they're going through."
The new building includes five cutting-edge operating theatres, which will be used solely for children's surgery.
Having dedicated children's theatres help reduce the distress that can occur when children encounter seriously ill adults.
The theatres are also be kitted out with state-of-the-art ventilators which can deliver more accurate doses of anaesthetics.
The new wing's wards are significantly larger than in the original building - with more accommodation available for parents along with several play areas.
The second phase also includes a new hydrotherapy pool kitted out with the latest audio visual equipment and an "open" MRI scanner.
Such scanners are larger and less claustrophobic than traditional ones and allow children to see outside the scanner at all times.
Children can also follow cartoon images as a distraction and it is hoped it will the reduce the need to anaesthetise some children before a scan.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said a "good chunk" of Wales would be served by the hospital.
As well as young patients from the Cardiff and Vale Health Board area, the hospital also offers more specialist care for children across south, west and mid Wales.
"It's important to have expert centres such as this to ensure children have the best treatment they can," he said.
"Its a wonderful building, it's light and airy, it's a wonderful example of our determination to invest in the Welsh NHS."
As a result of ongoing discussions about centralising some services across south Wales it might end up doing even more.
Although they have space, as things stand there are not enough staff.
"There are two missing bits for me," said Dr Wardhaugh.
"One bit is the neo-natal unit, which is clinically excellent but we need to do some work to get the physical environment up to the standard we've got in the children's hospital.
"And we'd like a dedicated children's emergency department - whether it's alongside the existing emergency department or whether part of the children's hospital is something we're discussing but the latter has distinct advantages."
The 51-year-old writer, who created the Electra Brown series for teenagers, was last seen walking her dog near her home in Royston, Hertfordshire, on 11 April.
Despite extensive searches her body has not been found.
A man, 55, from Royston, arrested on suspicion of murder, disposing of a body and the theft of her money, has been bailed until August.
He was detained on Monday morning and questioned by detectives in Royston.
More on this and other news from Hertfordshire
Forensics teams searched the home she shared with her partner, Ian Stewart, and a holiday home the couple own in Broadstairs, Kent.
It is believed the Northumberland-born author left her Royston house to take her miniature dachshund for a walk
She had left a note saying she wanted some time on her own and was going to stay at their holiday home in Broadstairs.
Mr Stewart reported her missing four days later having travelled to Kent and established she had not been there.
Hertfordshire Police have found no trace of Ms Bailey and one month after she went missing, admitted "she seems to have simply disappeared".
Detectives said they are continuing to search her Royston home, but searches at the Broadstairs property had been completed.
As well as the teenage book series, the author wrote a blog called Planet Grief after her husband of 22 years drowned on holiday in Barbados in 2011.
The mission would help Libya "reinforce their capacity to control their borders and national territory", said Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.
It would reportedly comprise ships, planes and at least 700 sailors.
Mr Gentiloni claimed it had been requested by Libya, but the UN-backed government there vigorously denied making any such request.
In an earlier statement, Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj said his administration had agreed to receive only training and arms from Italy.
"Libya's national sovereignty is a red line that nobody must cross," he said.
Mr Sarraj, whose administration's control of Libya is limited, held a face-to-face meeting with Mr Gentiloni in Italy on Wednesday.
Mr Sarraj did acknowledge asking Rome for border guards in southern Libya in that meeting.
More than 94,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy so far this year, according to the UN. But more than 2,370 people have died trying.
Migrants picked up in Libyan coastal waters - and not international waters - can be legally returned to Libya, but aid workers say that conditions in Libyan migrant reception camps are dire.
The Italian mission to Libyan coastal waters would reportedly be led by a frigate.
The mission would contribute, Mr Gentiloni told the cabinet meeting, to Libya's "path of stabilisation... and Italy feels it a duty to participate".
The cabinet had "approved what the [Libyan] government requested, no more, no less," he said. He later clarified that the initiative aimed to "support Libya sovereignty, it is not an initiative against Libyan sovereignty".
He said full details of the plan would be presented to parliament on Tuesday.
On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris would establish migrant registration centres or "hotspots" in Libya - and in the shorter term in Niger and Chad - to vet asylum seekers prior to their attempt to cross into Europe.
And in a letter to Mr Gentiloni last week, the Visegrad group of four (Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia) pledged financial support for Italian efforts to reduce the flow of irregular migrants from Libya and elsewhere.
Those efforts, the letter outlined, included "EU activities at the southern border of Libya" and the creation of migrant-vetting "hotspots" outside EU territory.
In remarks on 23 June, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spelled out this view, telling journalists: "If we don't want people from Libya to set out for Europe, we have to act accordingly - either on Libya's northern or southern borders.
"Hungary announced that it supports the Italian-German initiative for us to set up check-points and introduce a monitoring system on Libya's southern borders. Hungary is prepared to contribute to this with personnel or funding."
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. | Dundee United were cast further adrift at the foot of the Premiership as they were held to a draw by Hamilton.
